Chapter 1312: Migration to the South

Chapter 1312: Migration to the South

"Since we know there are still people alive, why don't we start a rescue or get the location of the safe spot first?"

Benedek said, and the others had the same question.

"He has a request."

"What request?"

"He wants us to ensure the safety of his family."

"No problem, it's reasonable."

"He also wants 100,000 florins and a ticket to the United States. When he arrives in the United States, he will naturally tell us the safe spot."

Fani Caus said a little embarrassed.

"Bullshit! Wait for him to arrive in the United States? Then will we still fight this war?"

Gabrentz roared angrily, and the other generals couldn't sit still.

"What if this guy regrets it when he arrives in the United States?"

"That's right! How could the Intelligence Department entrust such an important matter to such an untrustworthy person?"

"What a bunch of good-for-nothings!"

After seeing the perfect spies who are brave, selfless, fearless, loyal, upright, and versatile, it is normal for spies in the 19th century to waver and raise their prices.

"What should we do now? We can't put all our hopes on this kind of people."

"Another way is to migrate south."

"Migrate south? Don't be kidding!"

The generals in the room exclaimed. Although they did not belong to the administrative sequence, it has never been an easy thing to migrate people, and it is extremely easy to be backfired.

"Now this is the only way to solve the food problem. The Spanish Republic is constantly transporting food from the Madrid area to the north. All we get is a piece of white land.

If you don't want to starve to death, this is the only feasible way at present."

"Feasible? How feasible? If there is trouble on the way of the migrant population, or if there is a dispute between the migrant population and the indigenous people, what should we do then?"

This time, even the technical officials in the conference room couldn't sit still. Migrating the population can solve many problems, but the migrant population itself is a big trouble.

The whole conference room soon became a mess. Everyone had their own reasons and everyone had their own opinions, but no one could come up with a perfect plan.

In fact, the plan of moving south was not thought up by the logistics department, but by Franz. However, because it was too shocking, in order to avoid affecting Franz's prestige, the logistics department took the initiative to take responsibility.

The decision to move south was really a bad idea, but Franz had to take the risk when he was not sure whether there would be enough food to survive the winter.

In addition to reducing food loss and increasing troops, the biggest benefit of moving south was that it could increase the population of the colony.

The Spaniards were much more controllable than the Italians. After all, the former did not stick together, and due to the influence of religion, history, living environment and other factors, they were more suitable as colonists than the Italians.

The Spaniards were more resilient than the Italians, had a stronger tolerance for harsh environments, and could withstand greater losses.

Brave, aggressive, conservative, more resistant to the erosion of the indigenous people, and more efficient at work.

In contrast, the Italians were too lazy. They spent almost all their wisdom and energy on fighting wits and courage with the supervisors.

Almost all colonies did not want to accept Italian men, who were lazy, inefficient, and liked to steal, form associations, fight among themselves, and get involved with blacks.

Italian girls had a good reputation, but few women were willing to work in the colonies.

Even though the colonial government of the Austrian Empire repeatedly issued orders and formulated strict laws, and the charlatans preached not to contact blacks all day long, this was completely a wind on the ears of the Italians, leading to the emergence of a large number of mixed-race children.

Franz had to reconsider his plan. Since there were too many Italians in the Austrian Empire now, he wanted to reduce some of them and send them to the colonies.

But it turned out that the trouble caused by these Italian laborers was far greater than their help to the colonies, and the emergence of mixed-race children would trigger a series of ethical issues.

Fortunately, the church was willing to be the villain.

The Austrian Empire was jubilant. After all, in the eyes of most Austrians, this was another great victory, and it happened to coincide with the emperor's wedding, which was simply a gift from God.

Most of the high-ranking officials of the Austrian Empire felt that they could negotiate. After all, the Spanish Republic was doomed, and Britain and France had run out of tricks. Continuing the war would be a waste of money and lives.

"Your Excellency, now that our country has won a great victory, there is no need to continue wasting money and the lives of soldiers.

As long as Ferrante Duval abdicates and announces the dissolution of the Spanish Republic, and then returns the Spanish regime to a Bourbon royal family willing to recognize the contents of the secret agreement with Carlos VI.

Everything will be over."

Count Pilesdorf, the temporary foreign minister, said that he was still optimistic about the situation of the war and was secretly looking for candidates.

The Spanish Bourbon was destroyed, and the Salic Law was abolished by Ferdinand VII. Now the Austrian Empire can help anyone to take the throne.

None of the impoverished Bourbon royal family could resist the temptation of a great throne. Even Louis Philippe, who was over 70 years old, expressed his willingness to protect Spain for the Austrian Empire and never go along with Britain and France.

There were also mixed-race Bourbon and Habsburg people who were willing to sign a contract to take the throne, saying that they would pass the throne to the Habsburg family after their death.

There were also princesses who were willing to be Franz's mistress for a few months in order to obtain the throne, and then inherit the throne after they became pregnant.

Around the issue of succession to the Spanish throne, all kinds of monsters gathered in Vienna. Franz simply hid in Schönbrunn Palace pretending to be sick. Now it was Prince Schwarzenberg's turn to have a headache.

"If Ferrante Duvois, a regicide, is not dead, how can our Austrian Empire have the face to lead the Holy Alliance."

This is actually what Franz asked for. Historically, European monarchs have been constantly breaking their bottom line, but he does not intend to inherit this glorious tradition.

Even if Carlos VI is simply an insignificant little character in Franz's eyes, the latter must avenge the former.

The decline of the monarchy is largely due to people's loss of awe of the monarch. It is not realistic to want to help those rotten muds one by one, but Franz can form a monarchy alliance.

This requires sufficient credibility and prestige, and killing the regicide is undoubtedly the most effective way. Giving up killing the regicide will not effectively promote peace talks, but will give the other party a chance to breathe.

In fact, it is not Ferrante Duvois and Franz who do not want to negotiate, but the two great powers of Britain and France.

Even if Franz and Ferrante Duval reached an agreement, it would only be another revolution for Britain and France.

The particularity of the Austrian Empire determined that Franz had to choose to reverse the situation.

The monarchical alliance was the best method Franz could think of at present. In the 19th century, at least when Franz was alive, this alliance would always remain strong.
