Austria 1840

While applauding William II's courage, Carl was afraid of Britain's cowardice. Well, he had to think about how to break Britain's demons.

In 1894, America's gdp surpassed Britain's, um, the mainland. If you add Canada, Australia and South Africa and other British industrial areas, it will take about 1900 for the US gdp to surpass the British Empire.

However, Britain has accumulated hundreds of years of wealth, and the United States has only surpassed its output in this year. Therefore, the United States is still a very honest little brother.

Germany only surpassed Britain in gdp in 1914. Remember, it is not the British Empire, but the British mainland. But before that, Germany was playing tricks to the other side of the strait, and what a big fleet, what trade quotas, and a lot of trouble.

During the Anglo-Boer War, Britain and Germany had not torn apart their faces. During the two Moroccan crises, Britain was ready to unite with France to conduct a wave of operations against Germany to provoke a preventive war.

Well, the preventive war is, for example, the action of France and Italy against Austria. Since 1858, France and Italy have ravaged Austria together and took away Lombardy.

In fact, before Austria "may" overtake France, he was beaten first to prevent him from becoming arrogant.

A broken bone left Austria to lie down for a few years, and when it recovered, France had already left him a long way.

In this way, France's close neighbor, the only powerful country, Austria, has become a sub-power, or a powerful country with injuries, and will no longer be able to make waves against France, let alone threats or shocks.

It's a pity that Napoleon III was just talking, and his eyes were really bad. He didn't see clearly that Prussia is the real strong neighbor, and the existence that needs to be dealt with wholeheartedly.

Austria, whether you fight or not, he looks like a bird, with a big body, but the deficit is huge, very weak and weak.

Or perhaps, this was all due to Prussia's help. The design took three and made him misjudgment. At this time, Prussia's overall strength is not so strong, and it will still use some diplomatic means.

Wait until the military strength is too strong in the later stage, diplomacy? Why don't you stay where it's cool, with a fist the size of a sandbag, what kind of diplomacy do you need?

However, having said that, Germany is different from the United States. It is much closer to Britain. Naturally, Britain first stares at nearby enemies and opponents, and makes close attacks from afar. This is a trick that Britain has already played.

In addition, Germany is in a place of four wars, and it can’t compare with the United States. Britain can arbitrarily manipulate and calculate Germany, but the United States is a bit out of reach. It can only look at the Atlantic Ocean and sigh: stomp, frown, and then spread both hands, there is no way.

Thinking about it this way, I don't seem to blame William II for being rude. If you pretend to be a little white rabbit, Britain will punish you as well. As long as Britain thinks that you are no longer a little white rabbit, it can punish you.

It might be better to show his fangs, maybe it will be a deterrent, at least, it will be refreshing.

As for the "risk theory" proposed by Tirpitz, he must have known that the little white rabbit couldn't hold on, and Britain was already eyeing us, so it was in the arms of King William II of Prussia.

You must know that they proposed this "risk theory" as early as the 1890s, and the fleet of existence armed with the theory was in fact provoked but not released, showing its fangs but not biting it down.

Alas, later generations commented on Prussia, and some said that Tirpitz's theory was unreliable, some said that Wilhelm II was reckless and reckless, and some said that the previous Bismarck was too soft to Britain and did not win enough colonies as soon as possible.

These evaluations are either based on hindsight, or they are just scratching the surface. Who knows what kind of situation people faced at that time, and how to get the best benefits.

Speaking of Germany being in the midst of four world wars, Austria is also the same. It has more ethnic issues than Prussia, and it is even more difficult to return. In addition to ethnic issues, there are also religious issues.

Oh, and there are also economic issues. Except for the Grand Duchy of Austria, the Kingdom of Bohemia, and the rest of the empire, most of them are a bunch of poor people, scumbags.

When Carl thought about this, he was depressed, excited, and even more depressed. Forget it, don't torture yourself.

First of all, it must be clear that Britain and the British Empire are stronger than ever before, and will never be seen in the future; secondly, with the Prussian

Fierce and valiant, and Karl's hanging out with Austria, it will always be better than history.

Remember the lottery numbers. If you win, you don't want to squeeze into the rich list. No matter what, you can improve the food.

At least now Novi Sad is much stronger than the industry in history, and the culture, um, with two universities, is also much stronger.

"Aunt, you don't want to live in the country by yourself. We have to spend money to build Novi Sad. Although it is not compared with Vienna and Berlin, it cannot be worse than Prague in Bohemia, and it cannot be worse than Budapest in Hungary. ."

"I've already married into the country, how good or bad it has to do with me." Maria said with a half-dead look.

Of course, this is not Maria's true thoughts. She is just scared by her nephew. She is always asked to pay for the factory. She is not losing money. ?

"And if you stay half-dead here, you'll be ashamed, aunt, I know you're thick-skinned and don't care, but I'm afraid it will affect Uncle Schmidt's future and his promotion."

Carl and Aunt Maria knew each other well and knew that she was deliberately ignoring this, so they involved Colonel Schmidt's promotion.

This is what Maria definitely cares about. Who wants to chat with the little sister, and in comparison, her husband is the finale, oh, the bottom one.

"How about that? I don't have much.

How much did you set up a joint venture with you? "Stop the request for money first.

After saying this, the miser's nature is exposed again, and Maria is not easy to fool, and then asked:

"Besides, why isn't this rich enough to affect Colonel Schmidt's promotion?"

"Will the empire and my hometown still give Colonel Schmidt military expenses? No, given him so much autonomy, he won't give him any more money."

It's a bit like, many years later, the central government gave Shenzhen some special policies, but no more money.

Maria nodded, expressing her conviction, and started the "pinch waist and belly" pregnancy again.

"Then where does the military budget for his siege come from? One is to loot the towns he has captured, but you know that in the south, except for Belgrade, all of them are poor, and it doesn't cost a lot of money to scrape the land three meters away... …”

Seeing that Maria was listening attentively, Karl looked a little convinced, added more oil, and continued:

"...and the land had been scraped for three meters before the Turkish withdrawal, except for the broken walls and a piece of white land, um, there are still some people, too old to walk, and too small to be found. The road didn't run away."

"So we have to make money in Novi Sad? You have a little conscience, you know how to save face for your aunt."

Maria understands that she wants to tinker with Novi Sad, otherwise her husband will only make a fool of himself if he wants to make a contribution. He has no military spending, how to fight a war, isn't it a typical clever woman who can't cook without rice?

If you want to get a title, you can’t run away from wars. If you want to win battles, you need money. If you want to be rich, industry and commerce are the foundation. You don’t need to worry too much about agriculture. The Great Hungarian Plain has a lot of food. Money can buy it.

No wonder Schmidt was here, and it seemed like spending money was a bit of a chore. It wasn't that he ran out of money, but that he was afraid that he would run out of money if he didn't finish his work. This South Hungary strategy didn't end well.

But, even so, she still managed to make the princess' mansion beautiful and neat. Maria was so moved that she wanted to ask the little brat in her stomach, do you dare to move? .

"But it's still not enough to rely on our money. Now several factories are losing money, and they haven't paid much tax, and they haven't increased their military support much."

Maria was a little frustrated when she thought that she didn't make money by running a factory, didn't pay taxes, and couldn't support her husband.

"Aunt Maria, our factory doesn't pay much tax, but our money has been spent, hundreds of thousands of pounds have been spent, driving more than five times the new consumption, and these new consumption can bring tax."

Carl further explained:

"And schools and factories have also brought more people. These new people can bring more consumption and bring more tax revenue to Novi Sad."

"Well, Carl, your little head is still very good, you know that money makes money."

"Aunt Maria, you won't hear about the Empire and don't give Colonel Schmidt money, and Lao Ha's family won't give him money. Are you going to give him your private money as military expenses? It's okay for you to be silly when you're pregnant. At this level, it’s not enough.”

"How can I do it? I'm also a top student at the University of Vienna, can I do such a mindless thing?"

How can it be? I see you can.

You have also graduated from the University of Vienna for more than ten years. You are staying in the Schönbrunn Palace, eating, drinking and waiting to die. Where can you use your brain? The knowledge taught by the University of Vienna is probably returned to the teacher. .

Of course, he would say a lot more beautifully. Karl flattered and said:

"That is, the University of Vienna, the top five in Europe is still acceptable. UU reading www.uukanshu.com You are a top student, it is a waste of talents to raise children at home. Belgrade has developed."

"If Novi Sad and Belgrade develop like Vienna, let alone Vienna, like Linz, Uncle Schmidt can at least earn a lieutenant general and a marquis in war with these taxes."

"But, I don't have enough money, so spending it like this is like running water. It's not a problem, right?"

Although Maria clearly understood this set of principles, she also knew that no matter how hard a pony hooves, it wouldn't be able to pull a cart.

"Auntie, I mean, put up the shelf, and then you can attract rich people to invest. Even if people from Budapest come, I will welcome them with both hands and feet."

Maria looked at him and remembered that Carl was lying on the ground with his hands and feet up, like a tortoise whose shell had been turned over.

"It also makes sense. If this place is empty, who will come to invest and who will come to set up a factory. After all, it is most convenient to plan according to one's own wishes at the beginning, but it is also the most labor-intensive and time-consuming."

Maria's thoughts became clear. The top students from the old universities in the old empires, and the Lao Ha family who were famous for their cleverness, how could they be like a dumb goose and couldn't wake up.

"Yeah, auntie, that's why we put the investment promotion announcement and let the recruiters from the Teachers College and the Medical College take it with us. In this way, there are universities, factories, and hospitals, and the water in the entire Novi Sad will be alive."
