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

Chapter 614 Mange Disease
London, England.

Robert Peel was not surprised by Canning's failure, but this split into three really disgusted the former.

This time the opponent changed from one to three, and the script didn't seem to be like this.

According to Robert Peel's plan, he was going to make the guy who dared to challenge the dignity of the British Empire lose both money and land.

After all, the Indian subcontinent is the home ground of Britain, where it has defeated countless enemies
No country can challenge Britain on the Indian subcontinent, he is only one step away from uniting India.

It's just that the number of enemies has changed from a weak country (Denmark) to three powerful countries (Austria, France, and Netherlands), which still made Robert Peel feel the malice of the great powers.

But this is not important. After all, after the Sikh Empire is resolved, Britain has the means and time to drive Austria and France out of the Indian subcontinent.

As for the Dutch, Robert Peel really didn't pay attention to them. The British have developed on the corpse of the Dutch for 200 years.

The "merchant king" may be a good hand in economics, but domestic politics is a mess, religious and ethnic conflicts continue, and the method William II came up with was to send all those who opposed him to Austria.

The Dutch fleet is still at the level of the eighteenth century, and may not even be able to beat the maritime powers at that time, the upper limit is too low.

France chose Serombo, which is very close to Calcutta, and the purpose is very clear, which is for the opium trade.

At this time, the British made a lot of money in the opium trade with the East. Louis-Philippe looked jealous and established the French Far East Company a few years ago, but he never opened up the situation.

Now that they have Serombo, the French will definitely take the opportunity to send a large amount of opium to the Far East.

But this is not a bad thing for the British, because they can also get a piece of the pie and have one more dealer.

It's just that France seems a bit too strong now. Whether it is the number of its standing army of 65, which is the number one in Europe, or the area of ​​global colonization, the British side is worried.

(80 in the Qing Dynasty, the first in the world, 65 in the second France, and 60 in the third Russia.)
The former colonial empire seems to be back, especially France, which grabbed too much interest in the Mexican-American War, and at the same time gained large tracts of land in North Africa, West Africa, and Central America.

In fact, there are also conflicts between Britain and France in Oceania and the Far East, but the two often work together to bully the "aboriginal people" in these two places.

According to the current situation, France has surrounded Mexico. Once the former swallows the latter, France will not only obtain massive resources, but also divide the Americas into two.

Robert Peel didn't dare to think how strong France would be like that, but what led to this situation now is that he didn't expect Austria to directly choose to make concessions in the US-Mexico War.

To be honest, the battlefield is the same as the gambling table, the more you win, the more you lose, the harder it is to give up.

It was precisely this point that Robert Peel chose to add insult to injury. He hoped that Austria would wage a protracted war of attrition in order to defend Mexico and France.

After all, Austria had won so many victories before, and Robert Peel did not think that the former would back down before engaging the French army.

Because both the strong and the powerful have a common feature, that is, they will not give up lightly.

But what the Austrians did surprised the British, and they chose to stop losses as soon as France entered the war, without even a symbolic resistance.

As a result, Austria and France ended the war with almost no injuries, which frustrated Britain's plan to make money from the war and use the war to maintain the balance of power in Europe.

Austria still maintains a strong influence in Europe, while the French are too powerful in North America.Neither the United States nor Mexico is capable of fighting France alone.

Therefore, Britain must suppress France to prevent it from continuing to grow bigger.

As for the Holy Alliance, Britain did not join at all, and the countries of the Holy Alliance only care about whether France becomes bigger in Europe, and do not care whether it competes with Britain for hegemony.

Fight against France and the United States overseas, conquer India and the Far East in the East, also attack Austria’s influence in Central Europe, prevent Russia from gaining access to the sea, prevent the merger of Spain and France, invade Brazil, and control the South American market. In addition, you must continue to conquer land and Prevent Colonial Revolt
According to Robert Peel's plan, Austria and France will go to war in North America, which will weaken the latter's strength and prevent its further expansion, while reducing the former's international influence.

Then once Austria is defeated, its status in the German Confederation will decline.At this point Prussia would challenge German leadership and the region would return to chaos.

A weak and loose German Confederation is necessary, but Britain will not let this organization be disbanded, because the latter also needs the former to stop Russia's westward advance.

Therefore, Austria plus Germany is greater than or equal to Russia, which is very necessary for Britain, but it cannot be allowed to merge, even if it is a suture monster like the Holy Roman Empire.

But now these plans have all come to nothing, and then offended Austria to death on the Otranto Strait issue.

Now the Austrians will travel thousands of miles to buy a fort on the Indian subcontinent, and deliberately choose it near the Palk Strait. This is completely disgusting.

In fact, Franz is also a disgusting person. Tranqueba has very complete defense facilities and is far away from the core of British rule.

At the same time, there is a certain depth. The British cannot solve the problem by relying on the navy alone. Whether it is sending the marines to land or sending troops from other regions, there are great risks.

After all, it is not uncommon for those duplicitous Indians to stab their knives in the back, especially in a war with a power like Austria, any variable may be fatal.

In addition, it is impossible for France and the Netherlands to wait to be slaughtered. They will definitely try their best to make things difficult for the UK.

However, due to its proximity to the Palk Strait and its proximity to Sri Lanka, the UK really can't ignore it.

Relatively speaking, Austria has no interest in the Far East, and at the same time does not engage in opium and slave trade. In fact, it has the least conflict of interest with Britain.

But it is undeniable that this country is on the rise. At this time, Austria's influence has reached the maximum after the Vienna Conference.

At the same time, the level of industry is steadily improving, and some technologies have even surpassed that of Britain, and the colonies are also expanding.

Although the size of the colony is still smaller than that of Britain and France, the colony is developing extremely fast and extremely stable, and the possibility of catching up from behind cannot be ruled out.

Therefore, Robert Peel will not allow Austria to further expand trade in the East, nor will he allow the Netherlands and France to share their interests.

But the current situation does not allow it, because a war that has been planned for many years, the last step to conquer India will start at this time.

Therefore, Robert Peel can only choose to make concessions, but as long as Britain unifies India, it will only be a matter of time before these mange diseases are eliminated.
