Holy Roman Empire
Chapter 324: Preparation for Austria
Because of the distance, the news came to Vienna more than two months after the outbreak of the American Civil War.
Looking at the information in his hand, Prime Minister Felix whispered: "It seems we have fostered a pig teammate!"
From the standpoint of an onlooker, the southern government's initiative to provoke war is undoubtedly asking for trouble. Whether the North Government can be compelled to compromise in the end is not worth the trouble.
Foreign Minister Weissenberg sighed and said, "No, the southern government is not stupid. They are fearless.
If the previous script is followed, it will be difficult for the southern government to shake off the influence of various countries in the future. For the benefit of the future, they decided to take a risk, anyway, there was England and France and we helped. "
Chancellor of the Exchequer Carl questioned: "But the time for the southern government to wage a war is not right, and the northern states are not ready for war at all. They can drag the time of the war back a few months.
Foreign Minister Weissenberg explained: "After a few months, the northern government compromised. Don't look at the Lincoln government clamoring for war. In fact, the northern government has few soldiers at all.
The political system of the United States is different from that of European countries. Their states have too many rights, and the rights of the central government have been compressed.
Each state has its own army, and without the consent of the state government, the northern government has no right to command them.
Their control over the states is not as good as our control over several states. After the officers of the South left, the military strength of the central government was not as good as some powerful federal states.
Before the South began, most Americans opposed civil war. The capitalists do support the northern government, but they will not carry guns to the battlefield.
With the intervention of various countries, many federal states have been unable to speak to the federal government. There are no more than ten federal states willing to send troops, and the Lincoln government has no force to address the strength of the southern government.
How can the southern government be independent without showing a fight? European countries support them, not free! "
Interests are lost, knowing that there is danger, and still do it.
Franz interrupted: "Well, no matter what the southern government thinks, the war has broken out. The lives of Americans have nothing to do with us.
For us, the primary goal is to divide the United States. Although the situation is beyond control, the worst situation has not occurred.
The United States has a unique geographical location. They have not had a brutal war on the economy. Now it is time for them to feel it once. "
Franz can't help but be vigilant, even if it is divided in two. Both the United States has the foundation of hegemony, and the split just delayed their growth.
The southern government is easy to handle. Since they like to play with the plantation economy, let them continue. Agricultural nations are not a threat, and Franz doesn't mind helping them solve their labor problems.
The northern government is different. Once industrialization is completed, it will change qualitatively. Driven by interest, they have played expansion. Who can stop it?
Even if Franz is determined to intervene again, will Spain and Britain follow suit with the decline of Spain?
Using political means to split the United States actually hides murder. Once the United States splits, the federal government will naturally sweep the ground and its influence on the federal states will decline.
Since the southern states can leave the United States of America because of their interests, other states can also leave.
Once the seeds of division are planted, the northern government will be busy in the future. Just think about it, the federal states below need to be independent if they don't agree, enough to bring down any government.
For example, if a state finds that it has suffered a loss in the federal government, it jumps out to discuss the conditions with the central government. If they cannot meet their interests, they will be independent.
Another example: There is a conflict of interest in the federal states, and where does the federal government occupy? If you support one party, the other party will become independent. If it is not handled well, it may be difficult for several states to declare independence together.
When it comes to creating contradictions, the British are the best at it, and they don't need Austria to go to battle. Otherwise, the American continent, like the European continent, is a small country.
It's a pity that Franz's great plan died shortly after it began. The civil war broke out, and the federal government certainly gained command of the state forces. With military power in hand, the central government's control over the states will naturally increase by one level.
It is estimated that it won't be long before President Lincoln has to amend the constitution to patch it up and abolish the legal basis of states' free federal exit.
The Minister of the Interior, Prince Wendy Schgrez, proclaimed: "Your Majesty, otherwise, we order the ocean fleet to go to the Americas as soon as possible, and establish a foothold in Central America first to lay the foundation for armed interference."
This foothold is not just a port. In order to be able to station tens of thousands of troops and ensure the supply of basic materials, the local area is small.
Franz shook his head: "Don't worry, just follow the normal schedule. Let's discuss first, where do we put our foothold?"
Colonial Minister Josip Jelacic replied: "Her Majesty, Nicaragua is most suitable in terms of resources. We can borrow a place here.
If military intervention is required in the future, in fact, we will choose to start from the western Pacific and attack the west coast of the United States to force the northern government to recognize the independence of the southern government. "
Looking at the map, Franz lit up. In this era, the Panama Canal has not yet been opened, and the Americans have a unique geographical advantage, which has not yet fully stood out.
Now the main force of the US Navy is in the core area of the East Coast, and the defense of the West Coast is relatively weak. Once the threat of war is encountered, whether or not the northern government will compromise, the West Coast states will certainly withdraw from the war anyway.
Without these states, the demographic advantage of the North American government is not obvious. Without sufficient military strength, it is almost impossible to win the war.
The three countries of Britain, France, and the West are not soft persimmons. The navy is blocking the east coast, or even shelling the east coast. The northern government ca n’t compromise without thinking.
At least the eastern consortium can't stand it. They cannot afford the cost of the destruction of their foundations and continue to support the northern government to fight it.
Franz said hesitantly: "The plan is good, but this way we have to station a navy fleet on the West Coast and coordinate with the British to get supplies from Canada."
Minister of Foreign Affairs Weissenberg replied: "His Majesty, there is no problem in diplomacy. We have signed a secret contract with the three countries, Britain, France, and Spain, to join hands to interfere in the American civil war.
Once the United States is divided, the British are the biggest gainers, and they have no reason to refuse. "
After looking at the map, Franz made a decision: "From the domestic division, five divisions were deployed, and two of them were dispatched to the Nanyang area in batches. We also sent our housekeeper Vienna to the Nanyang area. .
In the short term, the two large islands in the Nanyang region and the surrounding islands will be expanded first. At the same time, be prepared for an expedition to the United States.
The other three divisions, one to Central America and two to the African continent, made up a situation where we want to speed up the colonization process overseas.
The ocean fleet was divided into two, leaving two iron armored ships and a part of the subsidiary fleet in Nicaragua, and the rest continued to visit the American countries.
Don't worry, the American Civil War is not a day or a day. The Army will be in place within two years, and the Navy will proceed at a normal pace. "
When true is false, false is true.
Franz's plan is not random, history has changed, and no one knows the outcome of the American civil war.
Whether armed intervention is required or not, it is unknown. Obviously, Austria's strategic plan cannot be centered around the American Civil War.
Otherwise, the US civil war will be deadlocked and the timing of intervention will not be delayed, so can the Austrian army wait forever?
Interference must also take into account costs. So Franz decided to colonize and prepare for military intervention.
As for the ocean fleet, when they visit the southern government, they will be packaged and sold to them. It is estimated that at this time next year, the northern navy will almost block the south.
Robbery while fighting for the price. Franz did not have any pressure, and the slave owner's money was not earned for nothing.
