At the Vienna Palace, after sending out the letter to Massimiliano, Franz stopped paying attention to the problems of Mexico.

There have been a lot of things lately, the Russo-Prussian war has held back too much energy, and John Bull is not in peace, and things are being done on the African continent.

Seeing the great expansion of France and Austria, they couldn't bear it anymore. Dragged down by the Indian insurgency in previous years, the London government did not have the energy to run around and do things.

Relying on the civilian colonial team alone, it is obvious that France and Austria cannot compete with each other. It is normal for a colonization team of several hundred men to be wiped out on the African continent.

France and Austria, which have the advantage of being the first mover, have both cultivated their own fighters. Not long ago, in Zimbabwe, there was an armed conflict between Britain and Austria, and then tens of thousands of blacks entered the South African colony, turning the local world upside down.

The London government lodged a strong protest against Vienna. Fortunately, the colonial government still knew how to measure, and only manipulated the local indigenous tribes to fight the British, and did not go into battle in person.

The British had no evidence that Austria was responsible, and the two governments had to slowly argue. As for the South African colonial company, which suffered heavy losses, it was not in Franz's consideration.

African colonization is a high-risk business, and if you can't afford to lose money, it's best to leave early. In order to open up the African colonies, Austria suffered four-figure casualties almost every year.

These people all died in battle or died of disease in the process of opening up, and if they could not afford the casualties, it was better to stay in the coastal areas, and there was a price to pay for going inland.

Some people broke out in the civil colonization team, and more teams suffered heavy losses, and it was not easy to break even.

To put it mildly, in this era of colonization on the African continent, unless precious metal mines are discovered, nothing else can get rich overnight.

Most of the civilian colonization teams opened up colonies, and when they found that there were no gold and silver mines, they started to trade in the export of labor services, and sold them to the colonial government when the place was almost cleared.

Long-term operation, this is not something that the average team can afford. When the living money is finished, change places. Many people are looking forward to discovering gold mines and then getting rich overnight.

Honestly open up the plantation and slowly make a profit, which is only suitable for a team with deep pockets.

Think about it, a colony team of 1,000 people can occupy tens of thousands of square kilometers of land, what do they rely on to develop?

Coal, iron ore, copper mine...... These minerals, which were priceless in later generations, had no mining value at all in this era.

It can't be refined on the spot, and the cost of shipping it back to Europe is sky-high.

To build these factories in the colonies, to develop these resources, the prospect of profit is uncertain, and no one can afford this huge investment alone.

Labor costs were higher in the colonies than in the country, and labor was scarce everywhere. After immigrating here, they usually work hard for a few years, and after earning money, they run to invest in farms.

This is the custom of the German nation, and it is this tradition that the farmers of the United States have become Germans in later generations.

Until the problem of labor shortage was solved, it would not be possible for the colony industry to develop. Of course, Franz was not ready to develop industry in the colonies either.

In any case, the resources of these Austrian colonies are basically congenitally limited, for example: there are few iron mines in places with many coal mines, and there is a shortage of coal in areas with many iron mines.

Until the problem of transportation is solved, there is no future for the development of industry in the colonies. Unless Austria has a serious capital surplus that must be exported, these problems cannot be solved.

The most suitable economy for development in the short term is agriculture, and plantations along both sides of the river can be established, and the Vienna government has always encouraged everyone to grow cash crops.

In particular, Austria does not have industrial raw materials that need to be imported. For example: rubber plantations, cotton, palm oil......

(Note: Rubber is not only used to make car tires, it has been widely used before the invention of automobiles, such as: umbrellas, raincoats, rain boots, plastic water pipes, and parts of weapons and equipment......

It is very versatile, and before the birth of synthetic rubber, there was basically no need to worry about sales. ）

……

"Your Majesty, according to the information we have gathered, many members of the revolutionary organization in exile in the United States have recently returned to Europe.

These include the Hungarian Independence Organization, the Italian Independent Organization, the Polish Independent Organization, these revolutionary groups that may cause us problems.

At the moment, we have only found traces of Polish independence organizations, which have appeared almost openly to raise funds on the continent to support the Polish rebels. ”

In the United States, which is thousands of miles away, it is naturally impossible for intelligence organizations to grasp the traces of these people, after all, the transmission of information is too slow.

Although the first transoceanic telegraph was laid in 1858, the real connection between Europe and the United States was not until the second submarine cable was laid in 1866.

(For technical reasons, it is not guaranteed to be smooth at any time, and there is a certain chance of error)

Moreover, this telegraph line is still in the hands of the Americans, and as long as the federal government wants to block the news, it will not be transmitted at all, and it may even be changed beyond recognition.

However, the situation is different when entering Europe, as long as the news is not intentionally blocked by the governments, it can be transmitted by telegraph.

These active revolutionary organizations are eager to see their own lack of popularity, and their leaders are about to become household names. As soon as he shows up, he will attract the attention of those who have a heart.

Franz said disdainfully: "The Americans are jumping over the wall in a hurry, just what can these rabble do." Inform the police department and let them deal with these miscellaneous fish. ”

In this era, there were not many revolutionary groups with combat effectiveness, and most of them were mouth-cannon parties, among which the French Revolutionary Party was the best, and they relied on mouth-cannon to win victories.

The drama of the February Revolution, if it had not been for the subsequent accident and bloodshed, would have overthrown the Orleans dynasty by having a dinner party.

The banquet movement is essentially about eating and drinking, propagating revolutionary ideas, and engaging in some conspiracy or something.

They have always stayed at the stage of talking about cannons, and they have not really launched an armed uprising, otherwise Napoleon III would not have been able to rise.

Because the revolutionaries from beginning to end did not have their own armament, Napoleon III, who bought the army, was able to counterattack all the way.

Of all these revolutionary groups, the most combat-ready were the Poles. It's not how hard they work, it's mainly that there are too many supporters.

If you sponsor a little bit in the European countries, I will sponsor a little bit, and an armed team will be born. For example, in Austria, where soy sauce was played, more than 800 armed men participated in the Polish uprising.

Of course, this was mainly an attempt by the Vienna government to purge the unrest. To send out the Poles who were inclined to the Polish independence organization and to kill them by the hands of the Russians is not to destroy the current national harmony in the country.

Trouble for the Russians, that's only secondary. Franz is not so petty, even if he wants to stab a knife, he has to change to a big one!

The other revolutionary teams were basically unarmed. Franz had never heard of the Italian National Salvation Army organized by Gappoli, so naturally he did not know that they were going to carry out an armed explosion in southern Italy.

There is no way to ignore an independent organization that has never bubbled.

Even the Hungarian independent organization, which has been playing soy sauce, has entered Franz's sight because it can brag, which can only show that it can't be blown in this era!

This negligence led directly to the tragedy of Naples. Otherwise, the Vienna government reminded them that they might be able to kill the Salvation Army of Gapori in the first place.

……

The Principality of Montenegro, the top leaders of the Hungarian independence organization gathered to discuss countermeasures. The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, and it was clear that they had not received much good news.

Stephen opened his mouth and said, "Everyone knows the situation, can you say what suggestions you have?" ”

Bukias said angrily, "What advice can you have?" Now Hungary is just a geographical term, and we Magyars have become a minority, still a minority hostile to the locals.

Austrians, O God! Can anyone tell me that there is such a nation in great Hungary? ”

Remote control thousands of miles away is completely different from experiencing it in person. At such a long distance, it is not easy to deliver a message once.

The Hungarian Independence Organization was originally a salted fish organization that cheated funds, and those who were sent out to carry out tasks had to be repeatedly told that safety came first.

It was not that they had a deep comradeship, but on the one hand, they were afraid of falling into the hands of the Vienna government, and they gave everything to themselves; On the other hand, they have few people and cannot afford to lose at all.

Most of the time, they had their stronghold in the Kingdom of Sardinia. Because of the Aussian-Sa relationship, even if their identities are revealed, the Sardinia government will notify them to run away as soon as possible.

Anyway, they are all small advertisements to promote revolutionary ideas. In the Kingdom of Sardinia, the second boy just needs to do it, there is Osa's hatred, and there is money to stimulate, and he is not afraid of finding someone.

This kind of thing, as long as you are careful, the chance of getting caught is very low. Later generations of surveillance are all over the street, and they can't put an end to small advertisements, let alone this era?

At this time, a middle-aged man said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Bukias, I have already reported to the organization about the Austrian issue. ”

It was reported, but they didn't pay attention to it. In the eyes of many, this was just the Vienna government deluding itself.

Normally, this is the case, but it is a pity that they ignore the existence of compulsory education. Adults are not easy to fool, but children are different.

After a few years, they were Austrians in their outlook on life, the South Austrians, a branch of the German nation.

The older generation didn't even have an idea of what nationality they were, and with the Vienna government allocating land, their identification with Austria was the highest, and the Austrians didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

In this context, the Magyar nation plays the role of pulling hatred.

Because someone in the family participated in the Hungarian independence movement, he was deprived of his title, fief, and property, and became an ordinary citizen; He was also the ruler who had enslaved the local people, and was naturally ostracized.

More than ten years have passed, and the glory and arrogance of the past are long gone, but as a family member of the chaotic party, close monitoring is still indispensable.

People with connections have changed nationalities, moved and left the local area, anyway, they are not really Magyars, they only joined for profit, and now there is no pressure to change their identity.

Then, during the years of rapid population growth in Austria, the number of Magyars was declining dramatically, less than a third of what it was at its peak.

Even if the number is small, it was scattered and resettled. There are only one or two households in a village, and if you dare to do something, you are not afraid of being suppressed by your neighbors?

This is very bad for the Hungarian Independence Organization. These losers in the struggle for power are most likely to become one of them. It's a pity that with the current situation, these people can't afford to make waves at all.

It won't even be many years before this nation can only be seen in history books.

An old man interrupted, "Okay, there's no need to dwell on this issue. There may be many people in Austria who are dissatisfied with the Vienna government, but there are absolutely very few who are willing to join us in launching an uprising.

Those who are willing to see Hungary independent, we don't have to think about it, we also know that in addition to the Magyars, it is estimated that only some Italians remain.

I propose to abandon the operation in the Hungarian region and transfer the revolutionary positions to the Italian region, the Americans only need to see the result, they will not care whether it is an uprising in the Hungarian region, or an uprising in the Italian region. ”

Stephen objected: "Mr. Mariut, do you think we have the power to start an uprising in Italy?"

You may have some connections in China, but these people are your relatives and friends, and I know that you don't want to involve them, and I don't want to involve them.

But the action still has to continue, even if it is to make a show. Over the years, we have taken a lot of money from the Americans, and if there is no movement, it will definitely not be justified. ”

Mariut shook his head and said, "Since Austria annexed Serbia, Hungary has become a hinterland, and I can't do anything to start an uprising there."

However, in their border areas, it is different, and the operation of the organization in the Kingdom of Sardinia over the years has some foundations, and it can take advantage of the Auss-Sa contradiction to make a fuss.

For example, if you fool a group of Sardinians into attacking the Lombard kingdom, you may go to a tavern to find a group of drunkards to wreak havoc.

As long as I toss out the movement and take a few photos, I can tell the Americans that this is provoking Franco-Austrian contradictions.

You can also play a bitter trick and deliberately get a little injured to prove that we have indeed suffered heavy losses and have no way to continue the uprising.

Anyway, I'm too old to toss. After this incident, I retired and didn't ask about the organization anymore. ”

Boasting that they are professional, and counterfeiting is also masterful. Mariut was not prepared to provoke a Franco-Austrian conflict, and if it did, the United States would not be able to go back.

The current federal government does not have the confidence to shelter them. As soon as the two countries put pressure on them, the odds of selling them were nine layers of nine.

Stephen scolded: "Mr. Mariut, don't forget the oath that no one can leave the organization until Hungary becomes independent. ”

If you want to get out, stop dreaming. Stephen had already made a decision, either everyone would land safely together and enjoy the rest of their lives; Otherwise, if everyone dies together, he won't be a substitute for the dead.

As the leader of the Hungarian independence organization, Stephen has no way of retiring. Except for the secondary two teenagers who joined later, the senior management are thinking about the way back.

If the Magyars were a big people, they might be able to hold on. It is a pity that even during the period of the Republic of Hungary, their peak population was 600,000.

The rest of the Hungarians were voluntarily excluded by them. If, as in history, they are not wiped out, they can slowly absorb the people at the bottom to join and strengthen the Magyar nation.

It was no longer possible, those who participated in and supported the independence of Hungary were simply finished, and sympathizers were excluded from the center of power.

After the division of the Kingdom of Hungary, the Vienna government directly sent civil servants to manage it, strictly implemented the policy of national integration, and did not give the local aristocracy a chance to interfere at all.

Even if they make a comeback, they will not be allowed to be local officials. If you want to do something dark and cang, it's simply impossible.

Mariut slapped the table and entered the mouth cannon mode: "Stephen, don't talk this nonsense, where is there Hungary now?"

Nonsense about Hungarian independence, you can fool fools! Others don't know what's going on, don't we know?

From beginning to end, it was all done to compete with the Vienna government for power. Originally, everyone agreed to talk slowly, so as not to provoke the situation in Vienna out of control.

As a result, seeing that Austria was weakened, the Kossuth guy boasted to everyone about the benefits of independence, and one by one he was blinded by interests, and his head convulsed and ran to the revolution.

In the end, it did become independent, and the republic was established. It's just that before Hungary could be revived, the Austrian army was killed.

You've made a lot of money in the United States over the years, so let's just stop it! If you toss it again, sooner or later, there will be a day of goofing, and then do you think the Americans will let you go? ”

Angry, Stephen almost rushed up and beat up this old guy. Doesn't he want to stop? The problem is that the Americans don't agree!

If you don't do anything with money, where in the world is there such a good thing? Although there has been no major movement in recent years, they have never given up on the work of public opinion propaganda.

Regardless of how much it helps, at least it's a bit of hard work. It brought political benefits to the Americans, which can prove the superiority of the American system.

If there is no Hungarian independence organization, why should those sitting here live a prosperous life in the United States? You know, when the first exile passed, everyone was poor and jingle.

Everyone's first pot of gold is funded by the federal government, and everyone relied on this money to get through the first hurdle before starting the road of mouth cannon cultivation.

Instead of going into the cause of Hungarian independence, the money was turned into everyone's private property to invest in real estate in the United States.

At this time, he sensed the danger and wanted to quit, but everyone else could retreat, but Stephen, the leader of the Hungarian independence organization, had no way to retreat.

He has been packaged as a revolutionary, and taking a step back is an abyss. Otherwise, Stephen would have wanted to dissolve the Hungarian Independence Organization and live the rotten life of a rich man.

Stephen sneered and asked, "Mr. Mariut, I know you have a hill in your chest, so tell me how to retreat now?" ”

"It's up to you to be ruthless!"

As soon as Mariut's words fell, the temperature in the room seemed to reach minus 10 degrees, and everyone's faces turned pale.

ruthlessly, it is definitely not for the people present to die, otherwise Mariut would not have said it with great fanfare. Then the only ones who are sacrificed are the members of the organization at the bottom.

Under what circumstances will "a revolutionary" give up?
