【War court and knee pillow, Austria's destiny】【】

Albrecht was a soldier with a strong sense of honor. If someone else could achieve such a brilliant victory on the Hungarian Great Plain, he would definitely be proud.

For Franz, this riot was just an opportunity. As a traveler, he certainly understands what kind of crisis the Austrian Empire will face in the future.

An army loyal to oneself is very important to the ruler at any time. In order to survive the crisis of 1848, Franz must do everything possible to plump up his plumage.

[To be honest, I have recently followed up, changed sources, and have many voices for reading aloud, .yeguoyuedu Android and Apple are both available. 】

"Hey, don't say such discouraging things, okay?"

Friedrich really couldn't stand the riddle between the two, but he knew very well that killing in war was a heavy topic. It's just that as a soldier, Friedrich is obviously not as sentimental as his elder brother. He is still at the age of "if violence is not for killing, then it is meaningless".

"Uncle Friedrich. Do you have any good news, do you want to share it with us?" As far as Franz knows, the Imperial Navy has not made much progress recently. If there is anything to do, it should be another Two battleships were refitted.

The quality of the Egyptian battleships is really poor, and the cost of modification is very high, but compared with the price of shipbuilding, it is still very cost-effective.

If the Austrians build several warships by themselves, although the quality is guaranteed, it will take at least ten years, which is too long for a thriving big country that must keep up with the pace of colonization.

Speaking of this, thanks to the spoils of the Turkish-Egyptian War, otherwise Austria could only organize a merchant fleet to colonize Africa.

However, in Friedrich's eyes, it seemed that merchant ships were enough to fight those natives.

"Franz, do you know the real culprit who attacked us?" Friedrich said pretending to be mysterious.

"Let me think...the British, the French, the Portuguese, the Dutch, or a slave trader from a certain country?" Franz had long known that it was not that simple that he was attacked.

"Actually, the French and Brazilian slave traders conspired to do it."

"How did you find out?" After thinking about it for a while, Franz felt that it was still necessary to confirm the credibility of the source of information. After all, this may also be a common conspiracy used by other countries to divert attention.

Even if the old colonial empires are saturated and can no longer eat the rest of their dinner, this by no means means that they want other countries to encroach on their sphere of influence. Provoking war between competitors is also a common tactic of these established empires.

In history, France finally won West Africa, but this does not mean that other countries do not covet this land. For example, England, although it may not have enough power to manage West Africa now, so it may want to use Austria to contain France.

From Ashanti in West Africa, to the Cape Colony in South Africa, to the Indian subcontinent, Afghanistan, ancient countries in the East, and even New Zealand in remote Oceania and Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean, this new empire on which the sun never sets can be said to be the Wars burned all over the world, the most tragic of which was the money-burning Spanish Civil War.

The intensity of European wars in this era is much higher than that of other continents. Facing this British octopus, who is unwilling to be lonely and often stretches out its tentacles, Franz has always been on high alert. After all, they have inserted several nails in the east of the Austrian Empire, and even secretly supported Prussia and Hanover..

"Recently, our merchant ship transporting ivory to and from Togo has been attacked. This is really strange. After all, there are British warships cruising in West Africa all the year round, and the pirates who are active in the sea all year round are cunning people. Private merchant ships are not stupid enough to actively attack large and medium-sized merchant ships with national backgrounds."

After hearing what Friedrich said, Franz felt a little unbelievable and blurted out.

"You mean they hired pirates to attack our merchant ships?"

"Yes, that's a group of desperadoes from Portugal. Of course, this information was provided by the French at the supply station in Morocco. After that, I asked people to capture all the guys who joined them."

Friedrich's words made Franz break out in a cold sweat. Attacking supply stations in other countries for no reason is a serious crime. If it is not handled properly, it may become an unmanageable disaster.

"You didn't send people to attack them directly, did you?"

"No, no, of course, doing this kind of thing will not leave anything for the other party to catch. The pirates attacked them. You also know that Morocco is the lair of pirates. The French set up supply stations there for their own survival. Impatient. We are innocent, not to mention those people have been buried in the belly of the fish now, and the dead will not speak."

After listening to it, he suddenly regretted talking about special operations with the Navy hopeful star, because the latter is now addicted to it and cannot extricate himself.

"Could it be murder to silence?"

"Not only that, I also destroyed the corpse." Friedrich was obviously very proud of his behavior.

"

Well done! But don't act so easily next time, it's too dangerous. "Frantz breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there is no direct evidence left, the French would not dare to provoke trouble rashly.

As for the French who died tragically, since they decided to join the pirates, they should be prepared to bear the anger.

"Let's get back to the point. What is their fundamental purpose? Do they think that just a few African indigenous tribes or a few pirate ships can stop our colonization?" Franz asked a little puzzled road.

"These guys hope to provoke a conflict between us and the British, because the Gold Coast is the territory of the British, and the so-called northern tribes actually refer to the Ashanti Kingdom.

It's a pity that our intelligence preparations for West Africa were insufficient, and the indigenous survivors who attacked us did not explain the ins and outs of their behind-the-scenes planning clearly, so we will not link the attackers with the British at all.

Then we left Togo directly, and now the French want to jog our memory with pirates... The main reason for those Brazilians to intervene is purely because we disrupted their business.

Since our country supports the Brazilian government, as a separatist force, they will naturally look down on us. "

Franz scratched his head, it seems that lack of intelligence is sometimes not a bad thing. Austria's information about West Africa can be said to be extremely expensive, and Franz only knows about Ghana, not about the Ashanti Kingdom.

Fortunately, the entire army did not directly crush it, otherwise the current situation would be difficult to deal with.

"It can only be blamed on the French's conspiracies being so complicated that they confuse themselves, haha." Franz half-jokingly said.

"Haha! You are so right." Friedrich couldn't help laughing.

After Albrecht heard the cause and effect, he could only sigh helplessly with a dignified expression. This was obviously a conspiracy carefully arranged by an opponent, but what happened to the two protagonists, one of whom had little knowledge of geography, and the other did not understand the language. , but he was so lucky that he was not only unscathed, but also defeated the enemy's serial tricks.

However, the light of the goddess of luck will not shine on them forever~lightnovelpub.net~ Who can guarantee that good luck will come when similar things happen again in the future?

"The French are really hateful!" This is the consensus of almost all Austrians. After all, the hatred accumulated as neighbors for hundreds of years cannot be easily resolved.

"Is there anything you can do about them, Franz?" asked Friedrich, who personally admired the nephew. After all, even if he had sufficient information as a guarantee, he couldn't think of an idea that could raise blood pressure more than robbing the entire Egyptian fleet.

"Pirates attacked a French supply point in West Africa. Do you think the proud Gallic Rooster will let it go?"

"Of course not! They will take this opportunity to invade Morocco!"

"Yes, even without this incident, the French will not let Morocco go. So we should remind the Moroccans..."

Historically, France has always hoped to turn North Africa into France's back garden. At this time, Algeria has been invaded. As long as the resistance of the local people becomes weaker, the French who are free will clean up the Moroccans.

"Yes! The French have established so many supply points and trading posts along the coast of Morocco. This must be their early preparations for the occupation of Morocco. According to your meaning, should we let the Moroccans strike first?"

"Yes, the French cabinet and military can't draw conclusions so quickly, and like the British, they stretched the front too far. They have their troops everywhere from Africa to America. Although the French have long drawn up the plan to capture Morocco Okay, but it is not a wise strategy for them and Morocco to take the initiative to go to war when they are entangled in many wars at this time."
