War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

India, Kolkata.

Compared with the fact that the Austrian army was more popular than the British army, Lieutenant General Raven Hoback was even more surprised by another thing.

The pirates actually attacked the British port and caused hundreds of casualties, which he couldn't believe no matter what.

Friedrich found it very interesting. It seemed that his nephew's toy gave them a surprise.

In fact, pirates were just a secret code. Franz had already bribed the officials of the British Indian Colony. They kept silent about Nanming and would only claim that it was piracy.

Friedrich certainly knew all this, but he hoped that Britain could fall into the kind of hard battle described by his nephew. After all, the terrain of Kalimantan fully conformed to the characteristics of jungle warfare.

Especially when he heard that there was no news about the second batch of reinforcements sent by the British army, he was even more excited.

Franz had been trying his best to avoid fighting in the jungle. Even if he wanted to fight, he had to choose the right time and find a scapegoat.

In Guinea, West Africa, several tribes that frequently attacked the Austrians hid in the rainforest. Other tribes also discovered that these outsiders did not dare to go deep into the rainforest to fight.

As a result, some tribes that had surrendered boldly began to attack Austrian colonists and farms, and even tried to attack the port.

However, now that the main force of the Austrian army has arrived, these attackers were instantly defeated and forced to retreat into the rain forest.

They hoped to escape the revenge of the Austrians with the shelter of the rainforest, but this was the driest season before the rainy season in Guinea.

In addition, the Austrian side also specially developed a batch of arson weapons for this battle. In fact, it can be seen from the aspect of weapon development that the Austrian skill tree is quite crooked.

Franz's original intention was to utilize oil, but this group of unconventional guys actually started researching white phosphorus incendiary bombs directly.

The result, of course, was three explosions a day, with thick smoke billowing out. The Royal Academy for Women in Vienna had to close for a month and the pollution was huge, so he decided to move this too dangerous project elsewhere.

White phosphorus has an extremely low ignition point and is highly toxic. It will produce a large amount of poisonous gas when burned. Although this poisonous gas usually dissipates on its own within three minutes, three minutes is enough to kill 90% of all living things on the earth.

What's even more frightening is that this chemical burns very violently. After it comes into contact with the human body, it will continue to burn until the skin and flesh ulcerate and penetrate deep into the bone marrow.

This time usually lasts 5-10 minutes, and the injured person will feel hellish pain.

What makes Franz most incredible is that this research was actually proposed by a group of missionaries.

Because when they used this kind of thing every day to play tricks in the colony, they occasionally made mistakes and spilled white phosphorus on other objects or people.

And just that small amount of white phosphorus can easily cause unimaginable terrible damage, so they seemed to use it as a weapon, and also gave it a very religious name [Wrath of God].

The weapons made by the magic sticks are of course unreliable. Fortunately, these people are very timid and have very little charge, otherwise they might have gone to see God by now.

In fact, it was not difficult to make such a weapon using Austrian technology, but Franz felt it was too cruel and was also afraid that other countries would copy it and escalate the intensity of the war, so he temporarily suppressed it and turned to secret research.

At the moment, Franz decided to let experts develop petroleum products. After all, this technology could also be used in future civilian technology.

A large number of new incendiary rockets flew into the rain forest, and the barriers that blocked the invasion of foreign enemies instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire. The tribes hiding in the rain forest fled frantically, but there was a sea of ​​fire everywhere.

The local wizards are not panicked. They claim that as long as they move deeper into the rainforest, Mother Earth will send down rain to extinguish the fire.

Those ferocious black tribes moved towards the depths of the forest with a sense of luck. After all, according to past experience, the fire would be extinguished sooner or later.

However, these experienced wizards miscalculated this time. The fire burned continuously for 21 days, 13 million acres of rainforest was reduced to ruins, and all the resisters were reduced to coke.

Until the Austrians left, it rained heavily, as if crying for the disaster that was about to happen in this land.

Following Franz's instructions, local colonial officials approached the remaining tribal chiefs and told them that they must implement a strict crop rotation system.

Those chiefs who were a little arrogant or a little crooked before were scared to death, and their legs were weak even after the Austrian colonial officials left.

Almost all the wizards of the tribe received the oracle on the same day. These magic sticks told their tribesmen that the magic of the Austrians is more powerful than ours. Their rule over us is the will of Mother Earth. If you dare to resist, there will be fire from the sky. and the floods descended

After a series of wars, security and production in the African colonies were finally restored.

Lieutenant General Raven Hoback did not believe the idiots in British India. What kind of pirates dared to attack the Dutch fleet first and then attack the British port. Now even the reinforcements numbering nearly 5,000 people have lost contact.

"Damn it! As long as you idiots are around, everything will be like the Afghanistan of the British Empire!" Lieutenant General Raven Hoback finally couldn't bear it anymore. He came from the North Sea Fleet and naturally looked down on other "no-name troops".

In fact, Lieutenant General Raven Hoback was not such an uneducated person. On the contrary, he came from a prominent family, was modest, and was well educated.

However, the interactions with his Austrian naval counterparts along the way made him very unhappy. What made him even more disgusted was the appearance of Indian businessmen and colonial officials, so Lieutenant General Raven Hoback became angry.

"What did you say?! You Scottish bastard!" Lieutenant General Xiu Wen of Calcutta was also very angry. He was already too busy with reinforcements.

If that unit really suffered serious losses, then his career would be ruined. At this time, coupled with the other party's unknown fire, Lieutenant General Xiuwen also broke out.

"Who are you calling a bastard?!"

"Your mother is a Scottish bitch!"

As the saying goes, it is easy to hit someone but not to slap them in the face. After a short while, the two lieutenant generals were pulled away with bruises and swollen faces.

In fact, the loss of contact with the British reinforcements also aroused Friedrich's interest. He decided to go to Kalimantan with Lieutenant General Raven Hoback to investigate the pirate incident.

In fact, Franz had already bribed British Indian officials, hoping to put an end to this matter in the name of piracy.

It's just that Nan Ming's unilateral actions made the whole thing much more complicated.

Rui, the British consul in the "Lion City", was so anxious that he was pacing frantically in his office. If he had had a pedometer at the time, he would have taken at least 50,000 steps a day starting from the second day after the fleet lost contact.

It wasn't until his subordinates reported that a huge fleet was approaching the port that he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led his people to greet it.

The atmosphere in the "Lion City" is more exaggerated, so over time British Consul Rui also developed the habit of extravagance.

Under an unprecedented grand welcome ceremony, the Austrian fleet slowly sailed into the harbor

This situation made Lieutenant General Raven Hoback clenched his fists, and the muscles on his face twitched and caused wounds, which made him cry out in pain.
