The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven

Chapter 572 After the War

London, England.

Robert Peel had high expectations for this sudden war, after all, the French had suffered a dull loss for Austria in North America before.

At this time, the two sides must be extremely jealous when they meet each other as enemies. It is best to fight for a year or so without distinction, which is in the best interest of Britain.

It's just that everything happened too suddenly and ended too quickly, so that the diplomatic order just issued had to be recalled urgently.

Starting war, armistice, starting war, negotiating peace, and withdrawing troops, this series of intensive operations made the British a little unable to keep up with the rhythm.

Although they had the upper hand, the coalition forces did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the conditions offered were unbelievably loose. If the French hadn't killed themselves, I am afraid that this war would hardly cause any harm to the two countries.

Robert Peel thought that the French's actions would anger the coalition forces, and he even prepared a speech in Congress, calling for support for France to maintain the balance of power in Europe.

However, France and Germany quickly reached an agreement, which caught Robert Peel by surprise for a while.

In the end, the 3000 million francs of compensation agreed by the two parties surprised the British even more. After all, this figure can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket for France at this time.

Don't talk about hurting muscles and bones, I'm afraid they don't even count as scratches.

Regarding the handling of compensation, Franz's suggestion to Metternich is to distribute it to the locals of Alsace-Lorraine who suffered, one third for compensation, and the remaining two thirds for construction funds.

Although nationalism is prevalent in Germany now, Franz does not believe that the consciousness of these people will be raised all at once.

However, it is different if there are material rewards. The soldiers are naturally energetic when they work.As for those small countries, they also need to be appeased, after all, they contribute money and effort.

Franz would take 500 million florins (about 3000 million francs) and let those countries distribute them among themselves.

Metternich naturally had no objection to this. After all, doing so would increase the prestige of the Austrian Empire. As for how Archduke Franz wanted to spend his own money, he would not interfere.

Since the Austrian Empire did not explain the principles, these states fought openly and secretly for the money, and even big countries like Prussia and Bavaria were not immune from it.

It is actually very interesting to see these people divide the pie. Small countries hope to divide it equally, large countries hope to divide it according to their territory, and Prussia, which has sent the most troops, hopes to divide it according to the number of troops sent.

Although Prussia sent 5 troops, which is the most country except Austria (15), they have been standing still by the Saar River and did not directly participate in the follow-up battles.

Baden sent [-] troops, and the casualties were the most among the allied forces except Austria, so they felt that they should be distributed according to the battle damage and participation rate.

Of course, there are still many proposals, such as dividing according to the cost of the war. Ludwig I of Bavaria claimed that he spent [-] million florins for this war.

In fact, everyone knew that His Majesty the king must have run out of money to pick up girls, so he would say such outrageous words.

It is not always likely that someone will expose him, but this matter involves the interests of all countries, and no one will show mercy.

As a result, the scandal of Ludwig I was spread in various ways, which greatly damaged the image of the Bavarian royal family.

This battle for compensation is not over yet. The high-ranking members of the Confederation who had been fighting against each other before have turned into competitors, and no one cares about the life and death of the people below.

At this time, Franz also proposed that he could undertake the medical work of all coalition soldiers, and he could go to the Austrian Empire for treatment with just one train ticket.

This is good news for the soldiers. After all, they all know that the medical level of the Austrian Empire is the highest in Europe. The doctors will not easily chop off people's hands and feet. Even if they want to chop, they will first anesthetize them. Also use moves such as the 24-second supreme fast knife and lightning five-saw.

(At that time, the most important parameter to evaluate the level of surgeons was "hand speed".)
In addition, Franz also came up with a "Confederate Veterans Home". Although it has the word "home", it should actually be regarded as an intermediary.

The other end is naturally connected to the colony and the Umbrella security company. After the end of the Mexican-American War, Mexico was in chaos like every place where the US military fought.

The US military left behind a lot of equipment before leaving, and sent a lot of weapons to northern Mexico through France.As a result, there are four presidents and more than a dozen generals in Mexico, and rebels are almost everywhere except the land controlled by the Omer United Development Corporation.

Civil strife must be dealt with, but Tasan Anna did not have enough troops at this time, the Black Legion could barely make up a regiment, and Jimmy's cavalry had more than 3000 left.

There are quite a few security forces in Ruvel, but most of them are the private soldiers of the big families who have taken refuge in Tasan Anna and the citizens of the city. This group of people has no problem defending their property and the city.

But it is difficult to expect them to serve the country. Unless the money is in place, they can run faster than horses in battle.

However, Tasan Anna had made a calculation. Instead of using this group of money-seeking guys, it would be more beneficial to directly ask Umbrella Company to handle the matter.

Although Franz has repeatedly claimed that the Umbrella Company is a borderless organization, everyone knows that this is a legal mercenary group created by the Austrian Empire.

In fact, all European countries began to oppose mercenaries during this period. In the past, the liberals of Switzerland, a major mercenary country, had formulated a constitution against mercenaries. hit.

At the same time, Montenegro, a traditional mercenary country in Eastern Europe, joined the Austrian Empire, directly bringing the entire industry into a severe winter.

Fortunately, Franz's Umbrella company has replaced their ecological niche, providing various services that countries need.

And Mexico and Brazil are Umbrella's two largest customers at this time, especially the former is planning to further expand the cooperation.

After the US-Mexico War, Tasan Anna's attitude towards the rebels also changed. After all, he also came to power through a coup before, and he wanted to be the savior of Mexico, the Napoleon of North America.

But after a large-scale rebellion during the Mexican-American War, and seeing the true attitude of the soldiers and the people towards the rebels, he decided to kill the grass.

So Tasan Anna personally led his cronies and Umbrella's mercenaries to start a bloody road to counter the rebellion.

Everywhere they went, the rebels were exterminated, and then a strict household registration system was established to prevent these rebels from contacting each other. At the same time, local resources and development were handed over to employees of the Omer United Development Company.

Tasan Anna wanted to reshape Mexico into an impregnable fortress and then claim lost lands from the Americans and French.

The so-called name is not correct, but under the instigation of the Mexican "Gloria" and other media founded by Franz, Tasan Anna accepted the title of "Salvator" awarded by the parliament and became the real dictator of Mexico.
