Holy Roman Empire

Franz was taken aback by Prussia's shipbuilding plan. He couldn't imagine how he would throw Prussia on the army and suddenly ran to develop the navy.

However, after reviewing the development of the Kingdom of Prussia in recent years, Franz understood their approach.

Domestic industry and commerce need cheap raw materials and markets. The European continent has stabilized, and the Kingdom of Prussia can no longer see hope for growth.

According to the current situation, if they continue to delay, even if the German region is unified, they are also the object of being unified.

No one is willing to wait for death and use a wave of naval forces in peacetime. Maybe they can survive.

In order for Junker aristocrats to accept this cruel reality, William I personally acted as a lobbyist and promised benefits.

Whether an overseas colonial expansion government can make a profit is unknown, but domestic capitalists must make a profit.

If the aristocracy is willing to serve as the main force of colonization, it is naturally indispensable for them.

This is why many colonial empires suffer financial losses. There are too many vested interests, and they are unwilling to pay taxes to the government, and dump the administrative expenses on the government.

This situation is even more apparent in the old empire. The government is unable to suppress these interest groups and cannot collect taxes. Coupled with the corruption of the bureaucracy, it swallowed up wealth and ended up losing money.

The short-term loss is acceptable, and the time has exceeded the government's financial tolerance limit. Domestic interest groups are unwilling to continue to pay for this, and simply let the colonial independence.

The most typical representative is the British who dominated the Dominion. Who can want the colonial governments in South Africa, Australia, and India to lose money?

The Americans also suffered from this loss initially. The Spanish and the Philippines can make tens of millions of dollars a year, and they have been losing money in their hands.

I lost a billion yuan in the end, so I just could n’t stand it. It is the result of the joint action of capitalists and bureaucrats.

After this lesson, the US government clearly recognized its own shortcomings, and even domestic capitalists could not suppress it, let alone overseas colonies.

This is why Franz first defined the African colony as the second home of Germany.

Since it is a second home, it cannot be a pure colonial rule. When a certain number of immigrants have passed, they will be localized.

It's also a good time to catch up, the telegraph technology has made a breakthrough, and the submarine cable to the African continent has been laid almost.

Convenient communication is a necessary factor for localized management. This is only effective for new colonies. The establishment time is too short. Local interest groups have no time to establish and grow. The bureaucratic groups have not fallen.

If an established colony has formed an interest group, it can only be forced by force or a major purge.

To do this, we must have a strong government and the strength to suppress the rebellion.

...

Intelligence leader Tyren whispered to Franz, submitting a document: "Your Majesty, the French conquered the Balkan peninsula, and washed a lot of opponents. Here are the details, please look over."

Going over the data, Franz looked aggressive. I don't know which genius gave Napoleon III a good idea, but he wanted to use Balkan immigrants to develop overseas colonies.

This is really a good idea. The folk customs of the Balkans are strong, and it is not easy to rule these people if they stay in place. Once you go to the colony, it's different, and the unfamiliar life has no choice but to depend on the French.

Anyway, there are many French colonies, so it is impossible to mainstream these people in any place.

Franz is very aware of this. Not much else in the Balkans is ethnicity, which also means that the population of each ethnicity is not large.

A million people are considered large nations. At present, there are only two nationalities, Bulgaria and Romania, and the Greeks are approaching one million.

In addition to affecting the biggest war factors, this is also related to the immigration policy of the Vienna government, which directly made Bulgarians the largest nation in the Balkans.

The French Balkan peninsula has no major ethnic group. There are more than 20 ethnic groups, large and small, with less than 4 million people combined. There are also many internal contradictions. You know that these people can't hold the group.

Franz hesitated. He didn't know if he wanted to do something right now, which would make the French messier.

After all, the immigration methods of the French are a bit junk now. It is easy to cause a rebound by relying on the tax on immigration. As long as you push behind, an armed blast will occur.

"Continue to pay attention to the actions of the French, and if there is an opportunity, it can stir up the conflict between Montenegro and them."

Franz is not that John Bull has not done harm to others. French immigration from the Balkans was also good for Austria. When did this source of unrest in the province break out and spread to Austria.

However, the instincts of the big powers are still in place. Not destroying the French immigrants does not mean that they cannot be stabbed.

The Principality of Montenegro is not the master of peace, but the two neighbors around it are too horrible, and temporarily ambush their ambitions.

For the stability of the Austrian Balkans, Franz did not hesitate to decide.

This is only a small trouble, and it will not affect the French plan. Even if there is a conflict, I believe Napoleon III can afford it.

Perhaps there is no need to provoke, they have contradictions. The arrival of the French lost the opportunity for Montenegro to annex Albania, and relations between the two sides have been bad.

...

In Kalimantan, a major event that shocked the Nanyang region was happening. On September 12, 1861, the flag of the double-headed eagle flew over the Lanfang Republic.

As long as you know a little bit of international common sense, what this banner means.

The Lanfang Republic was also downgraded and became the Lanfang Autonomous Province under the banner of the new Holy Roman Empire. The name of the Republic was thrown into the long river of history.

No, the name of the Lanfang Republic is given by Europeans. The name in the Chinese circle has always been Lanfang Company.

From its own private company to an autonomous province, it can only be regarded as incorporated. Lan Fang President Liu Asheng was appointed as the first Governor.

Outside the grand celebration banquet, Governor Liu was absent. He is still studying the State Law of the New Holy Rome. Don't look at it, he hasn't found out.

Eastern and Western cultures are different. Things that look very normal to Europeans, and people that are very shocked to the East.

In the eyes of many Orientals, aren't these states even the princes? Even the power of the state government is greater than that of the feudal lord, and it is close to the princes subscribed by Zhou Tianzi.

One year young man smiled and said, "Father, you are studying these codes again."

Governor Liu nodded his head and said, "Oh, Chuner, these codes are more and more shocked. Will the emperor not cut the fan?"

The young man said confidently, "Father, rest assured, Europe attaches great importance to jurisprudence. I learned about the history of the Holy Roman Empire while studying in the UK, and this system has lasted for hundreds of years.

Even in the unification war that erupted a few years ago, the Bavarian king stood on the opposite side of the emperor, only to transfer Lombardy.

If the emperor wanted to cut the vassal, he didn't need to do that at all. Austria's strength is much stronger than these states together, but Her Majesty Franz still strictly abides by the Code.

Let's not worry about it any more. How can the emperor violate the code he made for an overseas dominion? "

People are profit-seeking. If there are not enough benefits, Lanfang's senior management will not join the new Holy Roman Empire.

In addition to being able to obtain security protection, the most important thing is that everyone's interests are protected. Apart from sharing military expenses and paying royal annuities, their substantial interests have not been damaged.

On the outside, you can use the banner of Shinra to block the peep of other colonial empires.

The Dutch, at least pressing on them, stopped now. The representative of Vienna also promised that the privileges of each country in Lanfang would be handled by the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Governor Liu said: "It's better to do this, otherwise we will pay the protection fee in vain."

The concept of consciousness is not so easy to change. In the minds of the older generation, this is to spend money to buy peace, and use Austria's strength to protect its own security.

Anyway, all matters are handled by oneself, and they also have their own army, and all autonomy is retained.

The diplomatic affairs were just thrown out, so they were too lazy to deal with foreigners, and they were the ones who suffered and lost in almost every contact.

The younger generations received Western education and knew how to use the rules to protect their own interests. They were the most supportive of joining the new Holy Roman Empire.

At first, everyone wanted to join the Manchu dynasty, and even the attachment was acceptable. Unfortunately, the Qing government did not dare to accept it because it was troublesome.

In this era, the Chinese in the Nanyang region had a sense of crisis, fearing that they would cause the disaster if they were not careful.

Without strength, wealth is the source of disasters.

As the earliest to look at the world, they knew very well that Lanfang Company was in danger. Without a strong back office, they cannot survive by virtue of their own strength.

So after signing an agreement with the Vienna government, there will be no celebration outside.

Not that everyone really likes joining the Shinshin Empire. In essence, it's still for pulling tiger skins. The bigger the momentum, the greater the benefits.

This time the Lanfang government sent invitation letters to the representatives of all countries in Nanyang to tell everyone that the Lanfang Republic is already the Lanfang Autonomous Province of the Shinshin Empire. If you want to take advantage of it, you can talk to the Vienna government.

Governor Liu did not attend the banquet and had political purposes. In this way, tell the representatives of various countries that as senior officials of the Shinshin Empire, they are qualified to say to them: no.
