During the London Peace Conference, the British did not stop their global strategic layout. In order to strengthen their control over North America, the British Parliament approved a bill to establish a Canadian Dominion in May.

This inspired protests from the US federal government, and the result was naturally ignored. This was originally a measure against them.

After the end of the American Civil War, capitalists' demand for markets further expanded, and the southern market said goodbye to them due to the opposition between the north and the south.

Mexico has become the sphere of influence of Britain, France and the West, and there is no room for them to intervene; Central America is regarded as a private place by Austria; the Caribbean islands are also gathered in great powers.

The American America became a joke, and the European powers made a comeback, and the split northern government could not confront it at all.

In order to change this situation, both US governments were restless. The Confederate government was fine, and they exported industrial raw materials and were not in a position to compete with the great powers.

The Northern Federal Government was no longer able to do so. In order to break the situation, they supported the Revolutionary Party in Mexico and Indian tribes in Central America.

This is not the end. With the increase in the number of Irish immigrants, anti-British became an important political force in the federal government. In 1866, Irish MPs proposed a bill to annex Canada.

There is no doubt that such a deadly proposal was naturally not passed. However, this situation still stimulated the British, and the London government decided to strengthen its strength in the Americas.

Establishing a Canadian Dominion is one of the means. The London government is ready to relax the suppression of Canada and allow them to develop in order to increase the voice in North America.

Not only the British were taking action, but the French had actually increased their troops to Mexico before that. Massimiliano still listened to Franz's suggestion, and Mexico's debt increased by one-third compared with the same period in history.

As the biggest creditor, France was naturally kidnapped. The more investment it invested, the more reluctant the Paris government would be to let go.

It’s not that Mexico has no ability to repay, as long as it suppresses the rebellion, the Silver Empire will soon be able to escape the crisis.

The British and French practices also affected Austria, and the Vienna government was also very annoyed by the Americans who were ready to move.

Looking at the information provided by Earl Humerauer, Governor of Central America, Franz felt it necessary to teach Americans a lesson and let them know that the sky is high and the earth is thick.

Franz asked: "How much investment does Americans have in Central America?"

Colonial minister Josip Yelachici replied: "There are about three million Syrian shields."

Josip Jelachic knew these basic information in his mind. If it weren't for the civil war, Central America would have been the private areas of Americans.

As early as more than a decade ago, Americans were infiltrating into Central America. It was not until the Civil War broke out and Austria occupied the region that Americans' actions fell silent.

Franz said casually: "Then just stare at them, and if you find the problem, you will confiscate it."

Austrian colonies do not welcome foreign investment and promote the development of the colonial economy. Unfortunately, this is not what the Vienna government wants.

Stability overwhelms everything, Franz would rather break it into his hands and develop it slowly than let external forces intervene.

On the surface, foreign capital has promoted the development of the colonial economy, but overseas investment in this era was the pioneer of colonial expansion.

Introducing all kinds of messy ideas is also one of the means for countries to stab each other. If they are not vigilant, the economy has not yet developed and colonial rebellion broke out first.

In the late 19th century, all large-scale colonial rebellions were manipulated by international strength. This is also the main reason why countries closed the door to colonial markets.

The Americas are too far from Vienna, and their control over the colonies inevitably declined. The Americans saw the opportunity and came over to make trouble.

Finding excuses to confiscate these US investments is a warning to the federal government. Of course, it will not be that simple. Austria is just a leading role, and countries will need to follow the trend later.

Before the American Civil War, their capital had penetrated into many parts of North America, such as Mexico, Cuba and other regions.

When the United States was strong, countries were afraid of their strength, so naturally no one would touch these investments. Now the situation has changed, and the split federal government did not protect the strength of these overseas investments.

If they are at peace with oneself, everyone may not take excessive actions. But how can capital be at peace with oneself?

There is not enough market and the internal economic circulation market is not big enough. If capitalists want to survive, they will definitely make trouble.

Based on the information in hand, Franz can be sure that the internal strife in the US federal government is very fierce, and it is a forced force to expand its power outwardly.

Unless there is a major change in Europe, they will not have the possibility of development under the suppression of various countries.

"Yes, your majesty!" replied Josip Jelachi, the colonial minister, replied

This is just a small episode, and Franz's focus is on the African continent. Since the Vienna government passed the Colonial Localization Act, European countries' attention to the African continent has risen to a higher level.

Among them, Britain and France responded the most fiercely. The French responded immediately, Napoleon III was preparing to follow the trend, and the Paris government formulated a North African provincial plan to incorporate this area into the local area.

However, Europe's strategy is preferred, and due to insufficient immigration, this plan is still on paper and cannot be fully implemented.

The British responded much more fiercely, and it was impossible to follow the trend. Colonial localization is not suitable for maritime countries, and even if it is barely implemented, they would not choose Africa!

Open the map and you will know that France and Austria have already become very powerful in the African continent. In order to curb the expansion momentum of the two countries, the London government is preparing to take the lead in controlling Ethiopia and Somalia, and connect East Africa and South Africa into one.

Compared with the original time and space, the British's African plan has been much more converged. They only occupy the southeastern two corners and do not cross Egypt.

Ethiopia and Somalia are the last link of Austria's African strategy. Once the plan is completed, most of the African continent will be Austria's territory.

Naturally, the British could not sit idly by, and they had long focused on Ethiopia. As early as after the occupation of Aden in 1839, they infiltrated here.

Now there are many feudal state lords who have hooked up with the British. Not long ago, British Consul Fern Cameron visited the Turkish Sultan and cancelled the arms supply to Ethelbia.

At this time, Esaopian monarch Tiodor II did a stupid thing and directly detained the British consul.

There is no doubt that Ethiopia handed the excuse to the British. If they didn't let them experience the iron fist of the empire, how could John Bull have the nerve to get on in the world?

Originally, Franz was about to intervene, but Austria has a bad reputation on the African continent over the years. It has no appearance and it is too late for others to hide. How could it be that it could come over?

There is nothing we can do about this. Naturally, so many colonies in Austria were not given by charging phone bills, but were shot and killed.

If you encounter problems on the European continent, Franz will think twice before doing it. When you arrive on the African continent, it is the other extreme. You usually ignore it and go straight to do it.

Diplomacy? Unfortunately, the colonial government does not have this department. Those who can solve problems with bayonets and cannons will never use other means.

Bayonets cannot be used on the African continent, and cannons solve very few problems, so Austria becomes without friends. If they take the initiative to propose weapons assistance, they may not dare to ask for them.

It is naturally unnecessary to change the style of conduct. European countries have been like this these days. No one cares about colonies playing casually, and shameless colonists even regard themselves as disseminators of human civilization.

Franz asked: "It's only a matter of time before the British invasion of Ethiopia. What plans does the Colonial Ministry have?"

Colonial Minister Josip Yelachici replied: "Your Majesty, the strength gap between the two sides is huge, and there is no suspense in this war.

Our sphere of influence is already bordered by Ethiopia. This African country has a large territory and the British cannot swallow it in one bite. The Colonial Ministry plans to get a share of the pie.”

This piece of pie is probably not just a piece of pie. Even if you swallow most of Ethiopia in one bite, Franz would not be surprised at all.

The British wanted to curb Austria's expansion on the African continent because Austria was too strong in the local area.

If there is no restriction, they will be driven out sooner or later. As long as those who know the situation will know how unsatisfactory the British colonial company developed on the African continent has been.

It’s not that they don’t work hard, but that they really can’t live. After finally establishing a colonial stronghold, they will be attacked by modern African troops.

The attackers were all indigenous Africans, so naturally they had nothing to do with Austria. Without evidence, the London government could do nothing.

Sending troops to encircle and suppress is nonsense. How to find the attackers in the vast African continent?

In order to retaliate, the British also organized black troops, and both sides killed the darkness.

In the end, the British were the ones who couldn't hold on. It was not that they were not good at fighting, but that they were mainly because there were few British people.

At its peak, thousands of soldiers were killed and killed every year, and many British colonial companies went bankrupt because they could not afford pensions.

Under this situation, the British colonies on the African continent inevitably shrank. The situation did not improve until the two countries reached an agreement.

The British were good at summing up their experience, and soon they discovered that they would suffer only by going deep into the inland jungle areas. It was still safe to establish strongholds in coastal areas and rely on fortifications to guard them.

Now the British expand to build fortresses all the way. With fortifications there, they are not afraid of sneak attacks from black troops.

This is a secret struggle, and the Austrian army cannot end in person, and the two sides are deadlocked.

Due to cost, the British's expansion speed on the African continent has been curbed and they are often forced to give up their sphere of influence. After all, it is not only Austria who is the one who is in charge, but the French have also done such things.

There are too many enemies, and many times after being attacked, even the British did not know who did it. Framed and framing are common methods, and no one has any moral integrity in the colonial struggle.

This is also the reason why the British were eager to occupy Esaopia. Only when they controlled this place would they have a large number of cannon fodder troops to fight underground black wars with Austria.

Franz said without changing his face: "Secretly sending people to sell arms to Ethiopia so that they can resist fiercely."
