War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

Most of Austria's colonies are land. As long as someone is willing to cultivate it, he is willing even if he does not pay taxes for five years. He can even provide him with agricultural tools, seeds, food, accommodation, medical care, education and necessary security.

However, even with such generous conditions, Franz could not get many Europeans to develop colonies.

Except for California and Namibia, because the two places have rich mineral deposits, in theory, as long as they work for a few years, they can open a small business and make a living.

That's why Franz was crazy about attracting people from Japan and India. Fortunately, the two countries had a lot of people but little land, and there was serious conflict. Instead of any resistance, they even took the initiative to lower prices in order to maintain long-term trade and expand the scale of cooperation.

However, the colonies still hope to have more white immigrants, so that the differences in language, culture, and race can be smaller.

In fact, in the future, Franz will gradually reduce the number of Irish people. One is to make Austria's colonial society more stable, and the other is to let them go back and forth wherever they come from, causing instability in British society.

Archbishop Rauscher’s sermon in Queens Village was very successful, but after talking so much about the future, ideals and methodology, there is still something practical to do.

For example, there was enough food for them to survive the winter, as well as draft horses and carriages that were somewhat luxurious for them.

After the Catholic Emancipation Act of 1829, the British lifted the restrictions on Irish people being able to keep horses.

Maybe the Irish needed a little injection of original capital. In fact, these draft horses and carriages were of no use to Franz and his party.

What they have to do is to leave the island of Ireland quickly. The Archbishop will lead a large team of people to toss and promote all the way, and then leave from Cork Port. Franz will take the previously planned route and take the bus from an inconspicuous small port. Leaving on an Austrian ship under the American flag.

(Austria captured many American ships and prisoners in the previous US-Mexican War, and it was not too difficult to do this as the two countries bordered.)

In fact, generally speaking, even if they leave with great fanfare, the British cannot react. But Franz didn't want to bet, because it was pointless. If he won, he wouldn't get more, and if he lost, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

Although Mrs. Sophie felt that Franz was imitating Peter the Great and preparing to add more color to his legend, in fact Franz just wanted to be a witness.

Peter I’s incognito private visit is different from the history fabricated by a certain Qing Dynasty. The only two great emperors in Russian history (the other was Catherine the Great) really went to Europe for inspection after ascending the throne. Even Sweden, which is at war.

In the end, after the reforms of Peter I, Russia had the strength to compete with Western civilization for the first time, and at the same time it avoided the fate of becoming a Swedish state.

At that time, the Swedes beat the Russians very badly, and the capitulationists once dominated the mainstream.

Peter I laid the foundation for almost all aspects of modern Russian politics, economy, culture, education, science and technology.

At the same time, the fourteen-point principles of the "Peter's Edict" have almost become the core of Russia's strategy in later generations, and even today conspiracy theorists are still talking about it.

The most terrifying thing is that when you use Peter’s edict to explain Russia’s grand strategy, it can almost perfectly confirm each other.

"Peter's Last Edict" has been mentioned several times in books before. If you have time, write it down in the author's words, or publish a free chapter of it.

As for Archbishop Rauscher, he really likes to preach on British soil. After all, when people are poor, their faith is relatively pure.

Moreover, he is 68 years old this year. If he could die while preaching in Ireland, the church would have to canonize him as a "saint".

In this era where the average age is less than 30 years old, living to be over 60 years old is definitely considered a long life.

Although there wouldn't be much of a problem if the archbishop was discovered by the British, at most he would be expelled. After all, it would be somewhat annoying for a Catholic archbishop to go to a Protestant country.

But it will make the trip at this time not so happy. After all, Archbishop Rauscher and Franz came in under the eyes of the British openly.

It is best to take a luxury cruise when leaving, that way you will look chic.

This is the dividing line for separate runs————

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Madame Sophie slapped Franz on the back so hard that her hand hurt from the shock.

"Are you comfortable after all this hard work? Grand Duchess Olga Nikolayevna has been waiting for you for a whole month."

"It seems that the Russians are quite sincere this time."

Franz said to himself, making Madam Sophie angry and slapped her hard again.

"Stop talking nonsense and leave a good impression on others."

The former nodded in agreement, while the latter looked furious.

"What happened to that Polish woman? She just sent away the big one, and now she got a small one. And she has nothing to do with the Polish Nationalist Army."

"It's just a child. She was brainwashed by the Poles and left in Galicia. We don't know what will happen to her in the future. Anyway, her mother has been working in our family for so many years."

"What are you going to do with it? Don't bring it to the palace!"

Mrs. Sophie looked distressed, as if the pig she had raised for many years was about to be slaughtered but had eaten poisonous mushrooms.

"Sent to school for re-education, of course."

Mrs. Sophie thought of the unreliable tutor and couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't you have some good people around you?"

Franz was also helpless. He was surrounded by either magicians or bureaucrats, or businessmen and playboys.

As for those scientists, they have too many quirks and very strange thinking. If they really use these people to manage things outside their own disciplines, he will be pissed to death.

Archduke Karl's family are all soldiers, but Baron Brooke is loyal and capable, but he has no skills at all.

As for Jewish families such as Cinna and Artiles, Franz is currently unable to elevate them to a high position.

Generally speaking, the abilities of college students who pass the selection are only mediocre, which makes them more than adequate as grassroots officials and rural teachers, but they appear to be insufficient in ability if they go up further.

After all, there are still few hidden gems in the ocean, and many people have become quite unstable due to the influence of nationalist trends.

The few remaining people were sent to the Imperial Central Bank by Franz. This was not because Austria only needed economic talents, but because bureaucracy and corruption in other departments were serious.

Franz doesn't want to cultivate a bunch of smart opponents for himself, especially those who are thorns in the flesh.

Franz actually directly tried to replace the old blood with new blood, but humans are social animals. It only takes a few cycles for them to automatically choose sides and change from new blood to old blood, and those old blood get With the addition of new blood, it will become stronger and stronger and become more and more difficult to eradicate.

A few who are unwilling to transform or cannot transform will be excluded, or even "accidentally killed" by white blood cells.

Franz knew that it was not enough to just rely on passion without starting from the source. Even if Franz bleeds out all his blood, he can only maintain a brief period of clarity, and will eventually be swallowed up by the huge waves.
