Holy Roman Empire
Chapter 313: Gatlin
The British occupied Queensland in 1859, and the whole of Australia fell into British colonial rule.
Watching the British occupy the Gold Coast, Franz could only look forward to sighing. For Austria, Australia is too far away and has no ability to compete.
The only people in the world who have the ability to compete with the British for Australia are the French. Obviously Napoleon III was not interested in exile.
The French were not idle, and they continued to intensify their penetration of the Kingdom of Sardinia. Most of the areas bordering France were already under French control.
The number of peacekeeping troops is limited, and the troops promised by various countries have not been fulfilled in time. They just control the Turin area.
Regarding the infiltration of the French, in addition to the British calling with a group of younger brothers, the Russians, who were beyond their reach, began to eat melon. The Austrians were busy catching the killers and ignored the French actions.
The London government was furious, but unfortunately, it was still busy suppressing the Indian rebellion. There was no way to invest more energy to interfere.
The French government is pro-British, which is based on the premise of no conflict of interest. The kingdom of Sardinia is a piece of fat, and there is not much risk yet.
The opportunity to expand in the European continent is too rare. Once this opportunity is missed, Napoleon III may not be able to encounter it again in his lifetime.
As for the problem of offending the British, the British and French centennial feuds are not a joke, are they afraid to add another one?
Now they are just nibbling, without swallowing the Kingdom of Sardinia, even if they save the British.
At the same time as Europe expanded, the French also stepped up their expansion on the African continent, such as invading Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and other regions.
At the end of 1859, Spain, unwilling to send in troops, invaded Morocco by 50,000 troops, conquered Touan and approached Tangier. Under the mediation of the British, the two countries signed the Treaty of Tetouan.
In contrast, Austria has been quite peaceful this year. Of course, the colonies have expanded a bit, but they are advancing normally without major military operations.
The biggest move is probably to send immigrants to the Americas.
It is worth mentioning that during this year Franz held three state funerals, two of which were of the highest specifications.
First Marshal Radsky died, then Metternich hung up, and then Marshal Julius went to see God.
Fortunately, Marshal Radsky said that he was highly regarded, and there was no objection to the state funeral.
Metternich became a stain in his political career because of the Vienna rebellion in 1848, and he has offended many people over the years.
When he was alive, these people did not dare to be upset, and many died after jumping out. Find a bunch of reasons that he is not worthy of the highest standard state funeral.
There is no doubt that this small storm did not affect Franz's resolution and strongly suppressed the voice of opposition.
No matter how the government propaganda, the reputation of Marshal Julius Butcher cannot be wiped out. When the rebellion was suppressed, more and more people were offended.
After the announcement of the state funeral, there were also protests. There is no doubt that these people misunderstood the concept and were eventually thrown into prison for reflection.
Give Marshal Julius a high standard treatment, this is what Franz does for everyone. The purpose is to tell everyone that as long as he is doing things for him, even if he is notorious, his emperor will protect them.
In this context, the idiot who jumps out to do things is naturally unlucky.
Illegal connection, gathering trouble, disrupting public order, endangering public safety ...
This series of charges add up to more than ten years of introspection in prison. This is almost the same as lifeless. At present, more than 90% of people are living in prison for less than ten years.
Those who follow the crowd will also be criticized and educated, fined, and sentenced severely.
Those who receive money from others and accept employment for the march must face high fines and a prison life of more than one year.
That's right, the parade is also profitable. In many parades, because not enough people are attracted to participate, the organizers will hire ordinary people to participate.
Franz cracked down on this behavior.
It is directly stipulated in the law that a fine of 1,000 times the illegal profit is imposed, depending on the severity of the labor reform for more than one year.
The organization or individual that pays for the hire is multiplied by ten on this basis.
Franz also broke his heart in order to crack down on the manipulative politics of the consortium, and targeted laws were often added.
Now is the time of severe crackdown. Criminals who are not in serious circumstances are basically exiled. For more than three years of recidivism, all of them have to serve in the road repair army.
During the severe crackdown, the punishment was so severe. If you catch up, you can only be considered unlucky. Who asked you to do things at this time?
Although the Constitution has not yet been published, everyone already knows that organizations and people with any criminal record are deprived of their right to participate in politics.
Franz was not relenting when attacking the enemy. In this rapidly changing era, Franz is very skeptical that Austria can withstand the shock if strict order is not established.
...
The maid Jenny said softly: "Your Majesty, the arsenal has sent another sample of machine guns, please look over."
Franz said calmly, "Okay, arrange a test tomorrow."
The machine gun appeared long ago. In 1851, the Belgian engineer Gatling designed the world's first machine gun. Unfortunately, the actual value of this machine gun was too low.
The advent of the Gatling machine gun immediately caught Franz's attention, and ordered the arsenal to develop and improve.
Four generations or five generations have been updated. The designers' brains were wide open, and they came up with more than thirty machine guns with different shapes.
However, with so many machine guns, none can satisfy Franz. It's not that he is demanding, but these guns are really too bad.
How to use a machine gun that jams when it moves? Who can move a 1.5-ton machine gun? Who can use machine guns that cost tens of thousands of shields?
In short, Franz imagined that the quality and cheapness could not reach one. These machine guns are barely used to defend strongholds, because the corners are not enough, and they can only be fixed in one direction.
This is the case of new technology research and development, and there are no reference objects. The Mark Qin machine gun that Franz wanted was not even visible at present.
The Gatling machine gun was almost transformed, and the actual test in the African colony barely met the actual combat requirements.
It is not installed in the army, the main reason is that the army of each country is not equipped with machine guns.
Franz also wants to wait and see if there are better-performing machine guns. You need to know that the lightest machine guns today have hundreds of pounds, and they need to be pulled away by car.
The replacement cost of the military is very high. Many countries have backward weapons and equipment, not because the government bureaucrats do not know it, but they cannot afford to change it at all.
In this era, the upgrading of weapons and equipment is very fast. New weapons that have just been replaced have fallen behind in the past few years.
If you're out of luck, maybe you just finished changing out and more advanced equipment is out again.
What should I do?
If you do n’t change clothes, you will be left behind. If you change clothes again, you will not be able to bear the finances.
Moreover, even if it is changed, who can guarantee that no more advanced weapons will appear?
In this case, everyone's judgment will be tested.
