Holy Roman Empire

John Cow's influence in this era is still extraordinary, although it is not comparable to the same period in history, it is also a rallying response.

The Italian Revolutionary Party and the French Revolutionary Party sent representatives to London as long as they were named organizations.

Looking at the information in his hands, Franz's first reaction was: The British are really rich!

In other countries, it is not easy to find these revolutionary organizations, not to mention giving them no face.

The revolution also lost its head. If it was not careful, Napoleon III would have killed them long ago. The British can find them in such a short time, unless the two sides have been in constant contact.

In addition to the "note money ability", is there any way to help these revolutionaries cooperate? The Italian Revolutionary Party is no more. Britain and France are feudal. Why should the French Revolutionary Party buy the British?

Anyway, Franz couldn't afford it. Rather than use it to support these gangs, it is better to invest in domestic economic construction and increase their own strength.

It is really not that he discriminates against the revolutionaries. In this era, the French revolutionaries are all white gloves of the bourgeoisie. The value of existence is for the benefit of the bourgeoisie.

Except for a few individuals, most of them are losers in the struggle for rights, fighting for their own interests. Except under the banner of the Revolutionary Party, in fact they are not real revolutionaries.

The Italian Revolutionary Party is relatively better. At least they are fighting for national independence. Although the internal organization is chaotic and mixed, it can also be called a Revolutionary Party.

Since it is a revolutionary party, naturally, the Emperor Franz did not play with him. In the face of national interests, talking about justice is a fallacy.

The sacred mission of funding the Revolutionary Party was thus given to the British. Originally Americans also had a share. In order to promote the republic, they were also trying to save money.

However, after the end of the Civil War, they experienced a severe social beating. Both the federal government and the Confederate government settled down and did not dare to reach out to Europe.

With one less funding, the revolutionary momentum in Europe has dropped a lot from the same period in history, and social order has clearly exceeded the original time and space.

Except in Italy, the Italian people who are unwilling to be ruled by the French are still fighting. The French are busy suppressing the rebellion and it is understandable to ignore social security.

Raising soldiers for thousands of days and using soldiers for a while, the British people's money is not so easy to take, now is the time to kill the British people.

Perhaps they are also voluntary, anyway, it is not themselves who sacrifice their blood, and the British support the success rate even greater. In case they succeed, they make a lot of money.

In contrast, the response from European countries is much more implicit. Perhaps the French diplomatic activities helped, or Austria did not intervene, giving them different ideas.

In short, everyone was condemning the French, and the slogan was shaking. When you want to take actual action, one by one, it looks like you have changed people. There are a lot of reasons for pulling things out, that is, you don't send troops.

Franz was not surprised at all. The French are not soft persimmons. Napoleon III has put up a position of no war at all. Governments of all countries are weighing the pros and cons. No one wants to be the first bird.

To put it plainly, everyone wants to be a fisherman and is unwilling to lose their strength. In the final analysis, it is because of the interests that the anti-Pharaoh of the British does not take the lead. How can he count on his brother to work hard?

The current approach is only to isolate France from other countries. To attack the French nest and destroy the French Empire, there is still a main force missing.

In this regard, the French chose a good time. The two countries, Russia and Russia, are in a period of recovery, and Austria has an agreement with the Paris government. None of the remaining countries can fight.

The situation in Europe is gradually stabilizing, and the situation on the African continent has changed. In order to support the South African war, the British have increased their troops three times. So far, the number of British troops in the Cape Town colony has exceeded 180,000.

Of course, after removing the cannon fodder, this number has been reduced by half, even if it is still amazing.

After the Near East War, this was the British battle with the most troops. The total strength of the Austrian side was also similar, and Franz directly regarded the war as a training ground.

No, it should be an officer training camp. Regular troops cannot appear on the battlefield, or Austria's neutrality is not guaranteed.

The inability of a soldier to fight does not mean that an officer cannot fight. Taking off your military uniform and participating in the war in your personal name has nothing to do with the Vienna government.

Including the nobles who volunteered, they were actually members of the Austrian Reserve Corps, the rules of the German region, and nobles were enlisted unconditionally during the war.

Increasing the actual combat capabilities of these people will also increase Austria's defense capabilities. The British are not easy to find such opponents, and of course they must make full use of them.

The indigenous cannon fodder forces formed on the spot are for officers' training. Many of the battles today are commanders from the General Staff to direct these indigenous forces to conduct tactical experiments.

Although these data are not representative and implemented by different military forces, the final results will be very different.

But no matter what, it's better than talking about soldiers on paper. If the cannon fodder can be commanded to win, wouldn't it prove everyone's command ability?

The reality is very embarrassing. More than 90% of the tests ended in failure. Many times the cannon fodder was defeated, and then Viscount Fickney commanded the "Bur Republican Army".

Now that the war is over, the combat effectiveness of the Republican Army and the Austrian Army is similar. Originally, they were trained in a system, including troops and officers from the German region.

This force now has about 38,000 people, and then adding more than 100,000 cannon fodder units, it is comparable to the British, which proves their combat effectiveness.

Of course, this has something to do with the British army. Many white troops from the colonies are actually mixed up.

Originally, the Boers had fewer troops. The British launched an attack with ten times the force. Both sides fought for two or three years. If the supply of materials is cut off, the Boers will be powerless and the war will probably continue.

The situation in the South African war is quite different this time. It is impossible for the British to blockade. No matter how good the London government is in dancing sleeves, the Austrian African colonial government will not be able to break its own support.

The war costs a lot. It doesn't matter that the Emperor Franz is not afraid. The officers on the front line are also afraid. Many people think that this is a game between Britain and Austria, which is related to Austria's hegemonic position on the African continent.

By the end of 1870, the casualties of the South African War could not be completely counted, and even the number of its own casualties did not have an accurate figure.

In the South African battlefield, Franz is maximizing decentralization. All officers can recruit cannon fodder units, and the loss of indigenous forces has always been only an approximate figure.

Anyway, if you lose 10,000, you can add 20,000. The internal recruitment of the Boer Republic is not enough, so let the rear colonial government send someone over.

The British had already encountered the distress of insufficient cannon fodder forces, and a large number of young people were sent to the battlefield. I don't know how many tribes would perish because of this.

Christmas is not far off. At this time, the "Bur Republic Army" has pushed the front into the hinterland of the British South African colony, only more than 200 kilometers from Cape Town.

Viscount Fickney has no plans to drag on, and everyone wants to finish the war and Christmas. The delay was too long, and the British's reinforcements were coming again. By then, the war would not be easy to fight.

Offensive from the interior, logistics will always be the biggest constraint. If it were not for a few rivers in South Africa, this war would have ended.

Pointing at the hand-painted military map on the wall, Viscount Fickney said, "Dear everyone, this is the map of the British deployment. As the front moves forward, the British resistance is getting stronger.

If we cannot end the war within this year and drag it into the spring of next year, then the fourth batch of British reinforcements will arrive, and by then we will have difficulty capturing Cape Town.

There is not much time left for us to fight. If it is not possible to make a quick decision, I am afraid it will be difficult to occupy the entire South Africa before the two countries negotiate. "

No way, the war has now progressed. To end it requires one party to give in. The British are not ironheads, but they can't admit it, John Bull has never been afraid of anyone.

It's just a local war, how firm the position of the Vienna government to win South Africa can't be said, including the Emperor Franz, who is just ready to win the gold mining area first.

How much land was eventually seized from the British was not that concerned. Mainly, only by capturing Cape Town can South Africa's military power be maximized.

Don't watch the war for more than half a year. Everyone has made great achievements, but the actual results are very limited.

Not to mention the annihilated cannon fodder troops, the British army's troop loss was definitely no more than 10,000. Every time the two sides engaged in battle, they just defeated and failed to wipe out all the battles, and the battle results naturally could not go up.

This is also no way. The British commander-in-chief, Governor Delphi, is an old fox, and every time he lets white soldiers go first, using cannon fodder behind the halls.

Throwing 10,000 is not enough, just throw 20,000, anyway, the artillery fodder is worthless. These are all hidden dangers, and Wan Yi first rushed to the rear residents' gathering place, causing great losses, and Viscount Fickney had to send someone to clean up.

It takes time to catch tens of thousands of pigs, let alone humans? When these shrimp soldiers were resolved, the main force of the British built a line of defense.

The main force of the British army cannot be annihilated, and this war will certainly not end in a short time.

A middle-aged staff member frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. To capture Cape Town, we still don't have enough troops. These indigenous troops can't be expected at all.

At the port of Cape Town, the British had naval fire support. We lacked heavy artillery in our hands and it was difficult to conquer the city in a short time. Once the war dragged on, the situation would change again.

The British's latest reinforcements can be brought in from Ethiopia in just one week, and the local reinforcements only need one month. "

This is a practical problem. Austria does not lack troops, but the troops that can be invested in the South African battlefield are very limited.

On the one hand, for logistical reasons, the regular army is different from the indigenous cannon fodder. As long as it is eaten, it can also be equipped with a large sword and spear.

The problem of eating is easy to solve. South Africa is also rich in products. The Boer Republic can provide part of it, and some of it can be supplied in the rear.

When necessary, it is only necessary to guarantee the regular army's logistical supply, and to release the cannon fodder to the enemy, it is not impossible.

Weapons and ammunition must be provided rearward, and this supply line is very long. Part of it traveled in the Congo region, and part of it was transported over Egypt through the Nile.

On the other hand, this war was fought under the title of Boer. The small Bourgeoisie is capable of providing 38,000 troops, which is very bad. It would not be justified to build one hundred and eighty thousand.

Although the big powers are shameless, the face of the Vienna government is not so thick. If it really irritates the British, everyone will be uncomfortable.

Now the two sides are still playing games within the scope of the game rules, losing the battle on the battlefield, that can only prove that the British army's combat effectiveness is not good. If you are incompetent and want to provoke war, don't blame others for revenge.

Viscount Fickney enticed: "It's not easy to fight, you still have to fight. Presumably everyone wants to see that the post-war summary is about annihilating 100,000 British troops and capturing British South Africa.

Instead of writing a plan to smash the British plot for the Boer Republic, wipe out 10,000 enemy forces, and force the British to give in!

Having won this most crucial battle, it is not a problem for everyone to increase their ranks and ranks. If we close now, most of us will only get a reward order. "
