Holy Roman Empire

Time is like an arrow, and the sun and the moon are like shuttles. After so many years of hard work, Austria has leapt into the second colonial empire in the world, with footprints covering six continents and seven oceans.

I have to be grateful that there were no satellite maps in this era, or else someone would see Austria's strategic layout, and I am afraid it will cause an uproar immediately.

In the Americas, Austria occupies China and the United States, and divides North and South America in two. The famous Panama Canal in time and space has become distant.

Unless one day, Austria is strong enough to meet all challenges, or the US federal division is again no threat at all, otherwise this canal will not be considered.

The African continent is even more terrifying. If anyone pays attention, you will find that Austria has divided the colonies of various countries so that they cannot be united.

Of course, the area of ​​North Africa in France is still very large, but it is necessary to change this view after seeing the area of ​​the desert.

The large area is a good thing, but the situation of the large desert area has changed. In addition to living in coastal areas, only a few oasises are valuable in this vast desert.

Mineral resources may exist, but they are worthless on the African continent. If they are under the sand, they are even more worthless.

The South African region of the British is actually at risk. Didn't take it here, it was just that Franz didn't want to confront the British so early.

Egypt, another French colony, also looks good, but it is also in crisis. If the Sudan region cannot be won as soon as possible and the two places will be integrated into one, it will be surrounded by Britain and Austria.

From a purely military analysis, this is simply a desire to swallow the African continent alone.

In fact, this is just idealism. In the African continent, the forces of the British, French, Western European, Portuguese, and Portuguese five nations have now gathered. How could it be expelled easily?

Moreover, Austria does not have such a population to fill this huge pit. Franz is still very jealous about the European Emperor becoming a non-Emirate.

In the original time and space, many Africans claimed to be French, but only after being tanned in Africa, they became African.

Whether it is true or not, just this possibility makes Franz dare not mess up.

In the context of the localization policy, if the population of the African continent exceeds the native population, they cry and cry to move the capital, which is a headache.

Well, this is all a small problem, anyway, Franz is impossible to encounter. The main problem is that the strength is not enough. Tailang will have trouble.

Not to mention the European continent. If it was not decisive to create contradictions and push the hands behind the scenes to provoke the Prussian-Russian war, Austria's national defense pressure would be enough to collapse.

There is no way, geographical location makes Austria, but also limits Austria.

Had it not been for Franz's flexible diplomatic measures and the division of relations between the powers, Austria would have been the target of criticism.

The current situation in Europe can be described as Franz's trouble. Some of these changes, but in general, they are still within the plan.

According to Russia in the east, France in the west, and Prussia in the middle, this seemingly cool strategy, in fact, as long as it is implemented, the custody is more thorough than the German Empire.

Although the "Austrian threat theory" has not become the mainstream of public opinion, it has appeared in the minds of many politicians. There is no outbreak now, that's because the French are too active.

After all, the ancestors of the Habsburg dynasty were once more glorious than they are now. As a result, the unity of the German region has not been achieved. Now Franz also does not unite the German region.

It is estimated that many people are thinking, another German melee will break out, and the Habsburg dynasty can be pulled down again.

Perhaps it was the prestige of the Napoleonic era that created the arrogant Frenchman, who considered himself the world's number one army, and even the Russian Empire in its heyday they refused to accept it, and Austria was not considered.

Although France has a lot of hatred, they are lucky! Spain fumbled by itself, and now it is about to begin a civil war for the throne battle.

There is no threat at the rear, and they will not counsel any country alone. Napoleon III naturally has toss.

Of course, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage. That is, the expansion of France is difficult to follow, and the dream of the great people of the French people is difficult to meet.

Napoleon III is not too young, but his son is still young, and now to accelerate the pace of expansion, Napoleon III is anxious.

If he cannot support his son's power, then he must first build a large French empire, or France will be in danger, or the throne of the Bonaparte family will be in danger.

This is also the reason why the two countries can form an alliance. With Franz's pusher hyping public opinion, the spirit of the French people has been very excited.

The desire of the great power has become popular, and Napoleon III can still hold it, and the next generation may not be.

In this case, either achieve this goal or suppress it and change everyone's perception.

There is no doubt that the second is impossible. Even if Napoleon III wanted to do it, the capitalists would not agree if his interests were damaged during his reform.

The expansion is successful, and the increased market can satisfy the capitalists; the expansion fails, and it is time to trigger political changes. Changing to a government of your own can also obtain a lot of benefits.

The conspiracy is more terrible than conspiracy. Now France's internal contradictions are also very serious. The best way to alleviate internal contradictions is to expand.

Use the wealth that has been plundered to make up for the losses of those who have lost interest in the reform. Basically, all reforms that have succeeded in the modern era are the same.

After the British Revolution, colonial expansion was carried out, and colonies were used to resolve internal contradictions;

When Austria reformed, it also relied on external expansion to resolve internal contradictions;

The same was true of the Prussian kingdom. It was not until the end of the Prussian War that the conflict between the capitalists and the Junker aristocracy was eased.

France's stability now is also based on external expansion. If the government did not open up so many colonies, the capitalists with damaged interests would have rebelled long ago.

Alexander II, who was undergoing reforms, now encountered the same problem. The Russian Empire has no shortage of land, but those who have lost interest in the reform still need to compensate.

Money, Alexander II was not able to afford it. Many people in the original time and space attacked Alexander II's incomplete reform, which led to the demise of the Russian Empire. In fact, there was no way. He really did his best.

As the spokesperson of the aristocratic class's interests, it is necessary to move the knife to their own class. If the reform is thorough, there is no need to consider the future. If the reform is not completed, the tsar will be replaced.

Even so, the Russians are expanding in Central Asia, the Far East, and the Near East, relying on external plunder to ease internal conflicts.

Now that Russia's empire has lost its opportunity to expand, internal conflicts have intensified. Without a major cleansing, the reforms of Alexander II would not have been possible.

Saint Petersburg, Alexander II replaced the top government again. There is no way, three ministers have been assassinated and the rest have become cowards, he can only choose to substitute.

There are always hot-blooded men in any country, and the reformers who came to power now are willing to throw their heads on the Russian Empire.

Alexander II knew the art of compromise. His reforms were not radical, and many policies took care of the interests of the aristocracy.

On land allocation, he made concessions again. The aristocrats who refused to buy the land did not make coercion, and the government organized the farmers to open up wasteland.

The Russian Empire had land, but it was not developed. Not to mention that European land has not been developed. Even the Siberian Plain can actually house tens of millions of people. Farms have been developed in the Far East in later generations.

Anyway, the peasants at the bottom do not mind being remote. As long as the government is willing to pay for the wasteland, we do not mind suffering.

With this policy change, the resistance of the aristocracy suddenly weakened a lot. In the era of mechanized agriculture, the demand for labor is not so great.

As a cost, the tsarist government's wallet dried up quickly. The government's funding support needs real money, at least agricultural tools and seeds must be provided, and by the way, it is also responsible for rice management.

The peasants who have just been freed are clanging so poor that the cost of land reclamation can only be borne by the government. This money is considered to be an interest-free loan lent by the government to the people. It will be returned in the future, but that is the future.

There are tens of millions of people pointing at the tsarist government for dinner? Financial issues have become the biggest problem for the Alexander II government.
