Chapter 1161

Vienna, Austria.

Franz got the news on the seventh day when the Suez Canal opened. For him, it was even worse news after his army suffered a setback in France.

Because it means that the warships of the Empire will appear directly in front of his home through this canal. At the same time, in order to protect his own canal, the Empire will strengthen its presence in the Mediterranean.

"Sire, we must stop the war against France. It is obvious that we were all fooled by the Empire. Taking advantage of the civil strife in Europe, they succeeded in opening up the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. This will shorten the journey of the Empire to Europe by nearly half. From then on, it will be possible for the Empire to go to Europe. If this continues, the Europeans will be like the Indians of North America I'm going to be slaughtered. "

Said draise anxiously to his king Franz.

At the beginning of the war against France, they declared their opposition to this decision. Unlike other short-sighted aristocrats, draise surrendered his vision to the increasingly powerful empire from the beginning.

After years of analysis, he became more and more convinced that the Empire would eventually colonize Europe like the backward European civilization.

"Sire, the rise of a powerful country must be accompanied by a desire for resources and markets. Now the Empire controls most of the resource rich regions, and the only thing they lack is a huge market. Europe is now very qualified for this condition."

After a pause, he continued: "under the condition of equal technology, civilizations will open their markets to each other, but when the generation gap of technology expands infinitely, they will gain the most from opening each other's markets by force. "

like all monarchs' desire for land, Franz agreed soon after ekarina proposed the plan to divide Poland, while his desire for French land eroded his heart.

In the end, he decided to send troops to France, but the defeat in the battlefield gradually sobered him up.

Unconsciously, Austria's weapons have lagged behind France, Czarist Russia and Prussia. When the war is over, Austria with damaged strength is likely to become the target of Prussia.

Because Prussia and Austria used to belong to the Holy Roman Empire. Both Prussia and Austria claimed that they were pure heirs of the Empire, holding the idea of unifying each other.

"You may be right, Dreiser, that we should stop the war against France and let the careerist Felix II continue to fight with Henry. Isn't it very interesting for the two careerists to fight each other?" said Franz with a smile.

Dreith was stunned for a moment. He said, "Your Majesty, what I'm talking about is that Europe should be united against the invasion of Europe by the eastern empire. "

" that's right, so since they are fighting against the eastern empire together, do they want to share advanced weapon technology? Why don't you persuade Felipe and ekarina to share their technology with us? "Franz looks a little scary.

Draise opened his mouth, and at last he sighed that Europe is just a mess of scattered sand.

Every country attacks other countries for its own interests, and no one will respond to his ideas.

”I'm afraid I can't convince Czarist Russia, Britain and Prussia to share technology. " Said draise.

"That's right, so it's useless, but one thing is right. We're going to withdraw from damned France. I don't want to kill all my troops." Said Franz.

"Are we indifferent to the Suez Canal?" he said

Franz said lazily, "who can stop the Imperial Navy from sailing in the Mediterranean now? So, is there a difference? Instead, think about how you can benefit from the canal, such as building a port to serve as a transit point for the Empire to Europe. At least we can make a little profit. "

with a deep sigh, it is obvious that his persuasion has completely failed, and Europe will not unite before the crisis.

……

Paris.

Henry also got the news of the completion of the Suez Canal. There is no doubt that the opening of the canal is a good thing for him, because it means that the Empire will be able to provide supplies for him faster, without having to bypass Africa to the southwest coast of France. In the future, the Empire will provide supplies directly on the southeast coast of France.

But now the Austrian army in the southeast is still confronting him, but during this period of fighting, he has seen the weakness of the Austrian army.

While the North resisted the Prussian attack, he was ready to bring down the Austrian army completely.

However, to his surprise, his plan had not yet been implemented. On the fifth day, he got the news that the Austrian army had withdrawn to China, and his pressure was greatly reduced.

So he immediately ordered the southeast coastal city of lodan to set up a port, and at the same time sent troops on the southeast line northward to fight against the Prussian army's attack.

Over the next month, news of the opening of the Suez Canal reached Spain, Portugal, Prussia and Britain.

For a time, the whole of Europe was filled with pessimism. After two hundred years of plundering the world, they ushered in a powerful enemy, one that made them feel powerless.Konigsberg.

Felix II is having dinner with vidomia. Today, he is in a bad mood. With the withdrawal of Austrian troops, the pressure on Henry, who is on the verge of collapse, is greatly reduced. Now the European battlefield has become a war between France and Prussia. This change makes him very angry.

Feeling the emotion of Felix II, Victoria said: "Your Majesty, the war with France is meaningless now. Prussia can't defeat France in a period of time. In my opinion, it's better to have a truce and formally recognize Henry's rule over France."

Ferret II looked at the destitute Victoria, the queen of England, but also the wife of his second son. He said, "we have sacrificed 30000 people in this war. Are these soldiers sacrificed in vain. "

Victoria said with a smile:" of course not. Through this war, we can at least see Austria's weakness. Now Austria has chosen betrayal. Maybe your majesty can launch a punitive war against Austria with Henry, and he will certainly agree. "

There was a twinkle in his eyes, and he said, "Victoria, you're a smart woman. I'm more interested in Austria than in France."

Victoria's heart wry smile, she did so just to let Henry and Empire break up early.

Once Henry ruled France, he would no longer need the help of the Empire. At that time, Henry would think of the French colonies captured by the Empire during the French war.
