Holy Roman Empire

Sinai Peninsula

In the colonial stronghold camp, Austrian military representative Peter Larival arrived and was warmly welcomed by the colonial squad.

"Mr. Peter, when will the reinforcements arrive?" Andrea asked with interest.

Peter said with a smile: "Sorry, the French have come to mediate this conflict, and we have to wait for the outcome of the Cairo negotiations.

Until then, you must stand here alone. If Egypt launches an offensive, you can retreat directly to the coastal areas, and the Navy will take care of you.

Of course, this is only an ideal state. Under normal circumstances, the Cairo government will not go to extremes. They do not have the confidence to go to war with Austria. "

"Sir Peter, this is beyond the scope of our contract. In advance, we did not promise to act as a bait to attract the Egyptians' offense!" Leohafo protested

The bait is not good enough. As for their one hundred and eighty people, they can bully the indigenous tribes, but when they encounter the regular Egyptian army, they can't afford it.

In case of bad luck, the whole army will be wiped out. They are here to make a fortune, not to run over to kill their lives, and Leo Haver is naturally unwilling to take risks.

Peter said unhurriedly: "Mr. Leohaval, the original contract was an excuse for you, but it did not allow you to occupy it. The current situation is caused by your unauthorized actions.

Anyone is responsible for what they do. Trouble is caused by yourself. Of course, you are responsible for it.

Besides, we won't let you do it for nothing. If you successfully seduce the Egyptian army to attack, you will be the biggest contributors to this colonial operation. China attaches great importance to this operation, and you may win the title. "

The two asked in surprise: "Are there any fiefs?"

They were able to organize the hundred and eighty people to run out of the colony, and they were obviously not afraid of taking risks. The only problem was the size of the income.

Peter replied humorously: "If the land you want is a desert, you can apply for a try, and there is a great possibility that it will be approved in China."

The two laughed awkwardly, apparently they didn't think Sinai had any value. Since there is no value, the share of the gains from colonial activities will naturally cease to exist.

The aristocratic titles in Austria are not easy to obtain, and most of them are life-long aristocrats. It is difficult to seal the land. Even the discounted colonies were not so easily available.

Theoretically, the colony opened by the colonial team alone, they have the right to obtain a piece of land from them. Of course, the government does not need to issue bonuses after taking the land.

This is a lifelong nobleman nobleman specially invented by Franz. It doesn't matter, this problem can be solved in the colonies.

When there is a title, these lands are closed. Even if there is no title, the government will not recycle it.

The situation on the Sinai Peninsula is also applicable. It is just that you can't see the desert at a glance. Even if you convert all the credit for land closure, you can only get a few square kilometers of land for land closure. It is estimated that a normal person would not do this.

Leo Harvard and Andrea are both normal people, naturally they did not hesitate to choose a reward. Don't say them, even if Franz chooses, that's a bounty.

Although the strategic position of the Sinai Peninsula is important and oil resources are abundant, not all the sand has resources under such a large area of ​​the peninsula. More sand is still sand.

...

Cairo

With the French mediation, negotiations between Austria and Egypt over the Sinai conflict have begun, and no doubt noisy about who's responsibility at the outset.

The French Foreign Ministry de Leseb, who was in charge of mediating the conflict, discouraged: "The two calm down first, things have already happened, and now we are discussing how to deal with it."

There was no way. The negotiations were not smooth at the beginning. Austria did not have an embassy in Cairo. There was only one office, and the diplomatic representative was still a capitalist.

The Vienna government did not send a professional diplomat over the negotiations, and it seemed that they were not at all concerned about this humble negotiation.

Amateur players, mean it's easy to deal with, and may be confusing.

The Austrian representative Jonas rightly said: "German, you are right, you should really consider the aftermath.

This time, the Egyptian government robbed our caravan, causing us a lot of casualties and serious losses, and the Egyptian government must be held responsible for it. "

Mehmed objected: "No, Mr. Jonas. The truth of the matter is completely different from what you said. We have no government at all on the Sinai Peninsula, how could you rob your caravans.

Obviously your people have ransacked the Ali Kuisi tribe and forcibly occupied Arish. You must immediately stop this aggression and compensate the Egyptian government for the loss. "

Jonas tit-for-tat: "Nonsense, who doesn't know the poor clanking of nomadic tribes on the Sinai Peninsula. Idiots will ransack them except for camels.

We have evidence that the leader of the Ali Kui tribe has been appointed by your government. This is the appointment document we seized in the counterattack. The tax certificate issued by the Ali Kui tribe.

Mr. Hamhamd, you can tell for yourself if it is true. The personal conduct of officials in your country is not enough, and you must be held accountable for it. "

After that, he also produced a certificate and handed it to Mehmed. The document is naturally true. This is an appointment letter issued by the Egyptian government a year ago.

Why is there such an appointment? Of course, Austria bought it from an Egyptian government official. A nominal Arish tax officer is not even an official, which is equivalent to a temporary job.

At this time, it became the basis for pulling the skin. The Egyptian government can be involved in this incident, making it difficult for them to escape.

After taking a closer look, Mahmoud was not sure whether it was faked by the Austrians, but he would not admit it whether it was true or false.

Mahmoud asked, "Mr. Jonas, we all know that the Sinai Peninsula is so destitute. What do your caravans run to?"

"The idiots are ready to reopen the interrupted Gushang Road and restore the line of communication between your country and the Ottoman Empire."

Jonas answered with gritted teeth, the expression of hate for iron and steel suddenly appeared on his face, as if he felt that his peers had lost his face.

With the advent of the great voyage today, I did not find any better adjectives except to use idiots to restore commercial roads on land.

This explanation barely makes sense, there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and it is not surprising that an idiot appeared in the capitalists.

Of course, this kind of statement at most fools ordinary people who don't know it. They all know that the so-called caravan is a colonial team.

Mehmed sarcastically said, "Mr. Jonas, your reason is not valid. Now the people of the Ali Kui tribe are dead, all the words are yours.

I don't think that a nomadic tribe has the courage to rob a heavily armed caravan. Such things cannot be done by normal people. "

Jonas said indifferently: "Yes, normal people can't do it. They have already done it, which can only show that they are ignorant, they don't know how powerful the musket is.

There are still many ignorance generations in the world. Many indigenous people regard muskets as witchcraft, and it is not surprising that they did stupid things. "

After listening to Jonas's fallacy, the French Minister de Leseb knew that this was not the way to go, otherwise the Egyptian government would be taken in.

In the international negotiations of this era, the big powers can be entangled. It is best for small countries to obediently reason, otherwise they must be unlucky.

De Leseb said, "Mr. Jonas, no matter what, the client is dead. Even the most serious crimes can be offset.

As for the loss in your country, it will be made up by the legacy they left behind. The property of a tribe should be able to pay the pension. "

When Jonas's face changed, he immediately retorted, "Are we coveting a little money?"

The most important thing now is to discuss justice for the dead. This is not something that can be solved with money. Talking about money is an insult to the great new Holy Roman Empire.

If we cannot give us a satisfactory account, then our people will not leave. When will we get a satisfactory answer and when will we talk about compensation? "

Deceptive to Jonas, De Leszeb was powerless. The Austrian government apparently did not intend to invade Egypt, which would not affect French interests.

Since there will be no loss to his own family, the problem of the Sinai Peninsula has become a secondary issue, and the French government cannot stand up for the benefit of the Egyptian government.

Just look at the response from the British, and watch all this coldly, watching the farce quietly.

This is a common practice in the countries of overseas colonies. When there is no conflict of interest, everyone generally does not directly conflict.

Mehmed warned: "Mr. Jonas, if your people don't quit Arish, we will take action and expel them by force."

Forced eviction? After hearing the threat from Mehmed, Jonas said disdainfully: "Then you take action, anyway, any action you take on the Sinai Peninsula, we are deemed to declare war on the great new Holy Roman Empire.

If your country considers itself powerful enough to challenge the new Holy Roman Empire, go to war!

Mr. Hamhamd, I must remind you carefully that once the war breaks out, we will not guarantee the scope of the war. "

The threat of military force also depends on its strength. Originally, this was only a means of negotiating with Mehmed. As a result, it will soon turn into a comprehensive war between the two countries.

The war with the New Holy Roman Empire was clearly not something that Mahhamd could decide, nor could the Egyptian government make such a decision.

To put it plainly, what is now occupied is a small oasis in the desert. It is neither strategically important nor economically valuable.

De Leseb reluctantly persuaded: "The two calm down first. War cannot solve the problem, it only makes things more complicated."

Jonas said with a sneer, "It is true that war cannot solve the problem, but war can make some people sober and not threaten by force without opening their mouths.

Don't think that we love peace, we are weak. If it is really necessary, it is not impossible to use war to solve the problem.

The new Holy Roman Empire is willing to get along with the countries of the world. Even if extreme measures are taken, we will protect the interests of all countries. "

Threat, this is the real threat. Once the Vienna government promises to protect the interests of all countries, the Egyptian government can only fight alone.

The three countries, Britain, France, and Austria, have infiltrated Egypt, but Egypt is still an independent country and countries have not gained much rights.

It is not impossible for everyone to share the interests of the Egyptian region if Austria is in the early days.

The martial law of the great powers was only for the benefit. At this time, Egypt's strategic position was not as important as the Suez Canal opened.

Even if there is a war, it will not affect the balance of power among countries. To put it bluntly, Egypt is just a small country with a population of only 3.5 million. The benefits it has are not enough to turn everyone's face down.
