Chapter 105 Violet’s Troubles (Added update for the fourth deacon)
Mexico.
The naval battle that Friedrich longed for did not happen.
The American cruiser that was supposed to intercept the Austrian fleet was stopped by the French fleet.
The reason is simple. The French feel that Americans want to be pirates, just like their former mother country, Britain. From the perspective of the French, who have been bullied by English pirates, they will never allow another pirate who can harm them to appear on the ocean.
If the Americans really robbed the Austrian fleet and those weapons and equipment fell into the hands of the Americans, wouldn't those Americans use these equipment to come back and attack Texas?
As for the man behind the scenes, of course it is Franz. Although the number of ships in the Austrian Navy fleet is far greater than the number of cruisers that the U.S. Navy may send, no one can guarantee that the Austrian Navy will definitely win.
But there are many ways to remain undefeated, such as avoiding this conflict. As long as the French are informed of their interests, they will definitely choose to stop the Americans.
The Americans were also helpless. Although the performance of their warships was better than that of the French, they were not comparable in terms of numbers.
And if you offend the French at this time, it will not be a wise move for the Americans who are suffering from internal and external troubles at this time.
As for the Mexican navy, those light gunboats are just a bunch of toy ships to the Austrian navy and are not a concern at all.
The Mexican Navy does not have any kamikaze tradition, but the speed of this rebellion is really incredible.
When Friedrich's naval fleet sailed into the port, the Mexican navy had already changed their flags and lined up to greet them.
Being unable to surrender in Mexico is not a shame, but a necessary skill for every soldier.
The person who received Friedrich at the port was a dark and thin young man. It is said that this young man's name was Jimmy. He came from Texas and was a ruthless man who was not afraid of death. But Friedrich was very interested in the young man in front of him. No interest whatsoever.
Friedrich wanted to know where the payment was. The Mexicans kept their promise, 20 million francs and 10 million Mexican pesos. However, the silver mine promised to be mined by the Austrians for ten years was still in the hands of the rebels.
Friedrich was very satisfied with this transaction. To be honest, he thought the Mexicans would just deal with it and leave.
In fact, if it were in the past, Tasan Anna would definitely do this, but this man who regarded Archduke Franz Karl as his confidant would not treat his Austrian ally like this.
Jimmy was very satisfied with the weapons, because the Austrians did not play tricks on them to reduce the number of weapons. Although these equipments are all eliminated by Austria, they are enough to kill everyone on this American continent.
What made Jimmy overjoyed was the military supplies and food. Due to the bottomless destruction of both sides in the civil war, northern Mexico had almost no harvest.
If there is no food, no matter how many weapons you have, it will be useless.
At this time, the Mexican officers who came with Jimmy also sincerely admired the legendary Archduke Franz Karl.
Although Tasan Anna likes to think of himself as Napoleon, his subordinates all know how bad he is.
In fact, these people did not have much hope for Archduke Franz Karl, whom Tasan Anna highly respected, because according to the two Austrian generals, the Archduke's mind did not seem to be very bright, but this time They were convinced.
If Tasang Anna can win this war in the end, then these military supplies must be indispensable, even more important than those rifles and cannons.
This successful transaction will allow the Austrian Army to update some new equipment, and the Navy will also receive new funding.
Friedrich felt that with the new funding and his father's support, he would be able to build a batch of his own warships.
But what Friedrich didn't know was that Archduke Karl had already spent all the remaining money at home on railways and grain.
Of course, this mission must be described as more dangerous, so as to better convince the old diehards in the Army.
Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.
Adjani knows that if she wants to truly get close to Franz, she must first gain Franz's trust.
The first step she had to take was to please the child in front of her. She had always felt that she was very popular with the child, but this time she hit a wall.
"What are your specialties? Miss Adjani."
"I'm good at anything." Adjani answered confidently.
"That means I have no special skills." Franz wrote down in a notebook that he had no special skills.
Adjani wanted to start with Franz's studies, but she soon found that her brain was not enough. Fortunately, she gave up in time.
Adjani re-evaluated her abilities. She felt that she was definitely not as good as Franz in natural sciences and mathematics.
But Adjani is still very confident in her language talent. She knows four foreign languages, and she will definitely be able to show her skills in front of this child.
However, this time the blow was even heavier. Franz, who could speak eight foreign languages, looked at her with a joking look that made her feel ashamed.
Adjani thought about theology again, and this time she would definitely be able to scare this kid around.
Then Adjani saw Archbishop Rauscher of Vienna sitting in a chair through the crack of the door, listening attentively to Franz's speech. She immediately gave up her thoughts.
"How can there be such a difficult little devil?" Adjani cursed in her heart, and she remembered Mrs. Sophie's evaluation of Franz as "a little monster".
Fortunately, Franz's tutor was not wary of Adjani. In fact, Thalia was a fan of Adjani. She admired this perfect lady in her heart and wanted to get closer to her.
Soon, Thalia sold Franz, but Adjani didn't believe it.
On the contrary, Adjani felt that this tutor was suspicious. How could a woman want to go to college and become an official? It was simply ridiculous.
Thalia even provided her with some new underwear in order to get closer to Adjani.
Adjani's first impression of this new type of underwear was that it was very resistant because it could not perfectly reflect the charm of women.
But she didn't refuse because she knew that this kind of personal behavior could easily deepen the relationship between the two.
"Miss Adjani, your figure is so charming. If I were a man, I would definitely fall in love with you."
"Miss Thalia, you are not bad, you are much bigger than expected."
"ah!"
Franz had to pretend not to hear the frolicking in the next room, but his handwriting was crooked.
After Adjani tried it once, she couldn't live without this new type of underwear. After all, comfort is more important than anything else.
Later, Adjani learned from Talia that the design of this new underwear was actually the idea of Franz.
Ever since, Adjani added a perverted label to Franz's head.
