Due to distance, the news was transmitted to Vienna more than two months after the outbreak of the American Civil War.

Looking at the information in his hand, Prime Minister Felix complained: "It seems we have supported a pig teammate!"

From the perspective of bystanders, the Southern Government took the initiative to provoke war, undoubtedly asking for trouble. Whether it can ultimately force the Northern Government to compromise, it will be more than worth the loss.

Foreign Minister Wesenberg sighed and said, "No, the Southern Government is not stupid, they are fearless.

If we follow the previous script, it will be difficult for the Southern government to get rid of the influence of various countries in the future. For future interests, they decided to take a risk, and anyway, Britain, France and Spain will help us to provide a guarantee."

Chancellor Carl questioned: "But the Southern Government launched a war wrong time, and the northern states did not prepare for war at all. They could completely delay the war for a few months."

Foreign Secretary Wesenberg explained: "After a few months, the Northern Government compromised. Don't watch the Lincoln government clamoring for war. In fact, the Northern Government has no soldiers at all.

The political system of the United States is different from that of European countries. Their states have too great rights and the rights of the central government are compressed.

Each state has its own army. If the state cannot obtain the consent of the state government, the northern government will have no right to command these armies at all.

Their control over the states is not as good as our control over several states. After the officers in the south left, the military strength of the central government was not as good as that of some powerful federal states.

Before the South took action, most American people opposed the civil war. Capitalists did support the Northern government, but they would not carry guns to the battlefield.

With the intervention of various countries, many federal states have no choice but to say to the federal government. There will be no more than ten federal states willing to send troops, and the Lincoln government has no force to solve the strength of the Southern government.

If you don’t fight a war and show your strength, how can the Southern government be independent? European countries support them, it’s not free!”

Benefits are lost and will do it even though they know there is danger.

Franz interrupted: "Okay, no matter what the Southern government thinks, the war has broken out. The life and death of the Americans have nothing to do with us.

For us, the primary goal is to split the United States. Although the situation is beyond control, the worst is not happening.

The United States has a unique geographical location and they have never had a brutal war economy. Now it is time for them to feel it once.”

Franz was unaware of it, even if it was divided into two. Both of these United States had the basis of hegemony, and the division only delayed their growth.

The Southern government is easy to deal with. Since they like to play with the plantation economy, let them continue. The agricultural country will not be a threat, and Franz doesn't mind helping them solve the labor problem.

The northern government is different. Once industrialization is completed, it will change qualitatively. Driven by interests, they are playing expansion, who can stop it?

Even if Franz is determined to interfere again, will Britain and France follow the decline of Spain?

Using political means to split the United States actually has hidden murderous intent. Once the United States splits, the federal government will naturally be wiped out and its influence on the federal states will decline.

Since the southern states can leave the United States of America for their interests, other states can also leave.

Once the seeds of division are planted, the northern government will be busy in the future. Just think about it, if the federal states below have to make independence if they have a disagreement, it will be enough to collapse any government.

For example: if a state finds that it suffers a loss in the federal government, it will jump out and negotiate terms with the central government. If it cannot meet their interests and needs, they will have to be independent.

For example: When there is a conflict of interest in each federal state, the federal government takes over that side? If one side supports it, the other side will have to make an independent move. If it is not handled properly, several states may declare independence together.

When it comes to creating conflicts, the British are the best, and they don’t have to go to the battlefield in person. In 20 years, the American continent will be like the European continent, with small countries everywhere.

Unfortunately, Franz's great plan died just now. When the civil war broke out, the federal government must have obtained command of the armies of each state. Once the military power is obtained, the central government's control over each state will naturally increase to a higher level.

It is estimated that it will take not long before President Lincoln will amend the constitution and repeal the legal basis for states to withdraw freely from federal withdrawal.

Prince Wendyschgratz, the Minister of Interior, proposed: "Your Majesty, why not order the ocean fleet to go to America as soon as possible and establish a foothold in the Central American region first to lay the foundation for armed intervention."

This destination is not just a port. It is necessary to be able to station tens of thousands of troops and ensure the supply of basic materials. If the place is small, it will not work.

Franz shook his head: "Don't worry, just follow the normal progress. Let's discuss first, where will we put our foothold?"

Colonial Minister Josipjelachi replied: "Your Majesty, Nicaragua is the most suitable in terms of resources, and we can borrow a place here.

If we need to interfere with force in the future, we will actually choose to attack the West Coast of the United States and force the northern government to recognize the independence of the southern government."

After looking at the map, Franz's eyes lit up. In this era, the Panama Canal has not been opened, and the Americans' unique geographical location has not been fully highlighted.

Now the main force of the US Navy is in the core area of ​​the East Coast, and the defense of the West Coast is relatively weak. Once it encounters a threat of war, no matter whether the northern government will compromise, the West Coast states will definitely withdraw from the war anyway.

Without these states, the population advantage of the North American government is no longer obvious. Without sufficient military strength, it is almost impossible to win a war.

Britain, France and the West are not soft persimmons. The navy blocked the east coast and even bombarded the east coast. The northern government could not compromise without compromise.

At least the eastern consortium cannot bear it, and they cannot bear the cost of the destruction of their foundation and continue to support the Northern government to continue to conquer.

Franz said hesitantly: "The plan is good, but in this way we have to station a naval fleet on the West Coast and coordinate with the British to obtain supplies from Canada."

Foreign Minister Wesenberg replied: "Your Majesty, there is no diplomatic problem. We have signed a secret agreement with Britain, France and the West to join forces to intervene in the American civil war.

Once the United States splits, the British are the biggest profiters, and they have no reason to refuse."

After looking at the map, Franz made a decision: "Draw troops from five divisions from China, two of which were sent to the Nanyang area in batches, and we sent the Iron Craft, the Vienna, which we are guarding, to the Nanyang area.

In the short term, the two large islands in the Nanyang region and surrounding affiliated islands will be expanded first. At the same time, be prepared to expedition to the United States.

The other three divisions, one sent to Central America and two sent to the African continent, are in a position to accelerate the overseas colonization process.

The Ocean Fleet was divided into two, leaving two ironclad ships and a part of the affiliated fleet in Nicaragua, and the rest continued to visit countries in the Americas.

Don't worry, the American Civil War cannot be decided in one or two days. The Army can be in place within two years, and the Navy will proceed at a normal pace."

When true is false, false is true.

Franz's plan is not a mess, history has changed, and no one knows what the American Civil War will end.

Whether or not an armed intervention is needed or when it is unknown. Austria's strategic plan is obviously impossible to revolve around the American Civil War.

Otherwise, the American Civil War would be stalemate and the time for interference would not come yet, so could the Austrian army continue to wait?

Intervention also requires cost consideration. So Franz decided to prepare for military intervention while colonizing.

As for the ocean fleet, when they visit the southern government, they will pack it and sell it to them. It is estimated that at this time next year, the northern navy will almost block the south.

Take advantage of the situation and try to sell it to sky-high prices. Franz has no pressure, and the slave owner's money is useless.
