On March 26 , 1861, Austria benefitted the navy to embark to start journey of the global access from the Venice port, the first stand was the Ottoman empire. 1861年3月26日,地利海军从威尼斯港出发开始全球访问之旅,第一站就是奥斯曼帝国。 What a pity Sultan government moved the capital to the inland area, otherwise they can feel well anything are the pressures. Even moved the capital, Sultan government is greatly amazed. 可惜苏丹政府迁都到了内陆地区,不然他们就可以好好感受一下什么是压力。即便是迁都了,苏丹政府还是大受震撼。 Seven armored vessels add on one dozen to assist the warship, constituted in the world the battle efficiency strongest fleet, is not the sail fleet can compare completely. 七艘铁甲舰加上一打辅助军舰,就构成了世界上战斗力最强的舰队,完全不是风帆舰队能够比的。 Said is the visit, is only the visit. This Franz has not prepared to cause complications, frightened after Sultan government, again visited Mediterranean various countries, directly soared Asia. 说是访问,就只是访问。这一次弗朗茨没有准备节外生枝,吓唬了一番苏丹政府过后,再拜访了一下地中海诸国,就直奔亚洲去了。 Paris 巴黎 Received exciting Napoleon III, announced in the government conference: We must build a huge iron armor fleet, making the world know the strength of France.” 受了刺激的拿破仑三世,在政府会议上宣布:“我们要打造一支更庞大的铁甲舰队,让世界知道法兰西的力量。” Napoleon III does not have the means response is not intense, the navy could not compare the English even. He can also the consoling oneself English be the pure thalassocracy country, France is the flood and field amphibious, could not compare Austria altruistic unable to endure. 拿破仑三世没有办法反应不激烈,海军比不上英国人就算了。他还可以自我安慰英国人是纯粹的海权国家,法国是海陆两栖,比不上地利人就不能忍了。 Now French Navy benefits the advantage of navy to Austria, merely at tonnage and operational experience. 现在法国海军对地利海军的优势,仅仅只是在吨位和作战经验上。 What a pity these experiences stayed in the sail battleship time, entered the armored vessel time lots to fall behind, the tactical idea also changed. That feared that in the tonnage has the advantage of several times, the sail battleship cannot win the armored vessel. 可惜这些经验都停留在了风帆战舰时代,进入铁甲舰时代很多东西都落伍了,战术理念也发生了变化。那怕吨位上有数倍的优势,风帆战舰也打不赢铁甲舰。 Without the means that the sail battleship artillery is also used to cope with the sail battleship, suddenly the enemy turns into the armored vessel is not insufficient. 没有办法,风帆战舰火炮也是用来对付风帆战舰的,突然敌人变成了铁甲舰就不够用了。 Minister of the navy Dick's self-confident reply: „ Your majesty, please relax. We have started to build the iron armor fleet, at present already two armored vessel services, at the end of the year also three armored vessel services. 海军大臣迪科自信满满的回答道:“陛下,请放心。我们已经开始打造铁甲舰队了,目前已经有两艘铁甲舰服役,年底还有三艘铁甲舰服役。 The naval department plan is making ten armored vessels, most two years can construct to be completed completely, making the world know our strengths. ” 海军部计划在建造十艘铁甲舰,最多两年时间就可以全部建造完成,让世界知道我们的力量。” The technical checkpoint had more passed, making the armored vessel no longer is the issue. This is the naval construction speed of peace age, if willing to rush a job, construction time of warship only takes several months. 技术关卡已经越过去了,建造铁甲舰就不再是问题。这还是和平年代的造舰速度,如果愿意赶工,一艘军舰的建造时间只需要几个月。 This time, the tonnage of armored vessel has not risen suddenly. Big also 8,000-9,000 tons, small only has 2,000-3,000 tons. The dock does not need to transform, basically can meet the naval construction need. 这个时期,铁甲舰的吨位还没有暴涨。大的也就8,000-9,000吨,小的仅有2,000-3,000吨。船坞都不需要改造,基本上就能够满足造舰需求。 Napoleon III said satisfied: Good!” 拿破仑三世满意的说:“好!” The reputation of the world 's first navy cannot attain, the world's second said anything cannot lose again, the French also attaches great importance to face-saving. 世界第一海军的名头拿不到,世界第二是说什么也不能够再丢了,法国人也是要面子的。 Now according to internationally ranking of military power, French Land Navy is second, the Austria advantage follows the land navy is third, the two countries on military power is close outwardly. 现在按照国际上军事力量的排名,法国陆海军都是第二,地利紧随其后陆海军均是第三,两国明面上的军事力量非常接近。 Before the armored vessel time arrives, Austria benefits the naval power still to shake in 678. Finally surpassed the car(riage) during that the armored vessel arrives, rise with a jump to bypass Spain, Portugal, Holland and US. 在铁甲舰时代降临前,地利海军实力还在六七八名晃悠。结果在铁甲舰降临的当口超了车,一跃而起甩开了西班牙、葡萄牙、荷兰、美国。 Now many people believe, Austria benefitted the navy with French Navy to be on par. This concept in Mediterranean region unusual has the market, Napoleon III also lacks self-confidence. 现在都有很多人认为,地利海军可以和法国海军比肩了。这一观念在地中海地区非常的有市场,拿破仑三世心里也没底。 From the navy tonnage, Austria benefitted the navy to be close to 70% of French Navy, considering the addition of armored vessel battle efficiency, this view was convincing. 从海军吨位上来看,地利海军接近了法国海军的百分之七十,考虑到铁甲舰战斗力的加成,这个说法就非常有说服力。 Therefore, French Naval department followed to announce the long-premeditated naval construction plan, when this batch of warships served, the two countries naval power will be pulled open again. 因此,法国海军部跟着宣布了蓄谋已久的造舰计划,等到这批军舰服役,两国海军实力又会被再次拉开。 As for Spain , Holland and Portugal, had fallen behind at this time, is incapable of participating in this navy grand feast. 至于西班牙、荷兰、葡萄牙三国,这个时候已经掉队了,无力参与这场海军盛宴。 Stopped, minister of the navy Dick added: Your majesty, our navy military expenses are insufficient, must make so many armored vessels, but also wants the government to increase the allocation.” 停顿了一下,海军大臣迪科补充道:“陛下,我们的海军军费不足,要建造这么多铁甲舰,还要政府增加拨款。” Obviously, the navy asked Napoleon III to come to see Austria to benefit the naval fleet personally, had the goal. In the surface, French Navy loses face, in fact for naval construction funds. 显然,海军请拿破仑三世亲自来看地利海军舰队,也不是没有目的。表面上,法国海军是丢了脸,实际上还是为了造舰经费。 Does not have the time to pay attention to small planning of naval department, Napoleon III asked: How many also misses?” 没有功夫理会海军部的小算计,拿破仑三世问道:“还差多少?” Minister of the navy Dick replied seriously: At least must fund again 120 million francs, we can complete the plan.” 海军大臣迪科严肃的回答道:“至少还要再拨款1.2亿法郎,我们才能够完成计划。” The pure naval construction certainly could not want so much money, but must consider the basic trainings and staffing, the research and development of new technology...... 单纯的造舰肯定是要不了那么多钱,还要考虑到基本的训练、人员配备,新技术的研发…… The allocation that now allocates funds is only the earlier expense, once the construction is completed, in the future the following maintenance cost of navy must increase, in other words was the navy military expenses must increase. 现在拨款的拨款只是前期费用,一旦建造完成,未来海军的后续维护费用也要增加,换句话说就是海军军费要增加了。 Does not need Napoleon III to reply, First Lord of the Treasury Monier on impatient jumped saying: „ It is not good, your is wanting to have a lion's share. 不待拿破仑三世回答,财政大臣莫尼尔就迫不及待的跳出来说:“不行,你们这是在狮子大开口。 Construction funds of armored vessel how many? Possibly how to take 120 million francs, most not over 80 million francs, if saving a flower, 70 million francs perhaps enough. ” 一艘铁甲舰的建造经费才多少?怎么可能要1.2亿法郎,最多也不会超过8000万法郎,如果省着点儿花,7000万法郎没准都够了。” Now the financial revenue of French empire has reached as high as 1.72 billion francs( about pound 68.8 million), the French has the cow B energy, same period English financial revenue also 70 million pounds. 现在法兰西帝国的财政收入已经高达17.2亿法郎(约合英镑6880万),法国人有牛B的底气,同时期的英国人财政收入也就7000万英镑。 ( Note: The checked statistical timeline, only calculates native place probably) (备注:查的统计年表,好像是只计算本土) However the financial revenue is high, money is not enough to spend forever. Ministry of Finance must save, to this wanting to have a lion's share behavior, must attack decisively. 不过财政收入再高,钱永远都是不够花的。财政部仍然要省,对这种狮子大开口的行为,必须要果断打击。 Minister of the navy Dick explained seriously: „ Count, how can this save? Enters the armored vessel time, we slow Austria altruistic one step, the primary cause is the military expenses creates insufficient. 海军大臣迪科严肃的解释道:“伯爵阁下,这怎么能够省呢?进入铁甲舰时代,我们慢了地利人一步,主要原因就是军费不足造成的。 Now if compresses the military expenses, how we also do research and develop the new technology? 现在如果压缩军费,我们还怎么研发新技术? The armored vessel and past sail battleship were different, our soldiers must undergo the training in the service from now on, can proficiently operate, this was expenses. 铁甲舰和以往的风帆战舰不一样,在服役过后我们的士兵要重新接受训练,才能够熟练的操作,这又是一笔开销。 The armored vessel tonnage compared with sail battleship big many, our original many military harbors needs to rebuild, these ask for money. ” 还有铁甲舰吨位比风帆战舰大的多,我们原来的很多军事港口都需要改建,这些都要钱。” First Lord of the Treasury Monier is not convinced saying: „ Do not speak these idle talk , utilizes the new technology besides the research and development, other projects have the allocation every year, gives up any idea of the redundant report budget. 财政大臣莫尼尔不买账道:“不要说这些废话,除了研发、运用新技术外,其它项目每年都有拨款,休想重复报预算。 Even if Ministry of Finance allocates funds to you, in the future the audit of government, you will unable to pass. Completes the detailed budget, we discussed the issue of allocation again. ” 就算财政部给你们拨了款,未来政府的审计,你们也过不了关。还是重新做好详细预算,我们再讨论拨款的问题。” This saying unusual has the political art. The warship definitely is to make, this is the will of Napoleon III, but the naval construction funds compress, how otherwise to manifest earnest being responsible for of Ministry of Finance? 这话非常的有政治艺术。军舰肯定是造的,这是拿破仑三世的意志,但是造舰经费还是压缩的,不然怎么体现财政部的认真负责? clear(ly) knows that two people quarrelled the ingredient that acted in a play more, Napoleon III was watching the fun calmly. Obviously, his Emperor in the political strategy is qualified. 明知道两人争吵做戏的成分更多,拿破仑三世还是若无其事的看热闹。显然,在权谋上他这个皇帝还是合格的。 If makes the underlings stick together, the Emperor day does not feel better. This small battle, that feared that clearly knows this was only in the routine business, the time grows contradictory will strike root in the hearts of the people. 要是让底下人抱了团,皇帝的日子就不好过了。这种小小的争斗,那怕明知道这只是在例行公事,时间长了矛盾还是会深入人心的。 The right of Ministry of Finance is too big, each department needs they to allocate funds, cannot offend God of Wealth. Without the contradiction, making Ministry of Finance curry favor with everywhere, Emperor must unable to sleep. 财政部的权利太大,各个部门都需要他们拨款,得罪不起财神爷。要是没有矛盾,让财政部四处卖好,皇帝就要睡不着觉了。 ...... …… Seemed like sees the crucial moment to arrive, Napoleon III broke two people arguing: „ Ok, you were noisy, returned to the office to quarrel slowly, do not affect my mood. 似乎是见火候到了,拿破仑三世打断了两人的争辩:“好了,你们要吵,就回自己办公室慢慢吵,不要影响我的心情。 I remember that the US as if must split, how does Ministry of Foreign Affairs deal? ” 我记得美国似乎要分裂了,外交部是怎么应对的?” Foreign minister Austria replied: „ Your majesty, our minister in Washington spreads the news, now has achieved consistently with the western UK Austria three countries, everyone is consistent to the beautiful business. 外交大臣弗涅回答道:“陛下,我们驻华盛顿公使传来消息,现在已经同英西三国达成一致,大家在对美事务上保持一致。 Now we have convinced the southern government to agree to abolish the slavery, four countries had formally acknowledged the legitimacy of southern government, is lobbying more livestock slave province to join the southern government at present. 现在我们已经说服南方政府同意废除奴隶制,四国已经正式承认了南方政府的合法性,目前正在游说更多的畜奴州加入南方政府。 If as expected, this US should split. If the luck is good, we will re-enter the opportunity in North America also to appear. ” 如果不出意外的话,这次美国应该会分裂。要是运气不错的话,我们重回北美的机会也会出现。” Asking that Napoleon III has doubts: Since the south government is willing to abolish the slavery, why they independent are? Hasn't the northern government made the concession?” 拿破仑三世疑惑的问:“既然南方政府肯废除奴隶制,那么他们独立是为什么?难道北方政府就没有做出过让步么?” Foreign minister Austria explained: „ Your majesty, the principal contradictions or the tariffs of north and south, these year of northern province population growth were rapid recently, but the south population growth is slow, power gap of both sides had been pulled open. 外交大臣弗涅解释道:“陛下,南北双方的主要矛盾还是关税,最近这些年北方各州人口增长迅速,而南方人口增长缓慢,双方的实力差距已经被拉开了。 The present northern US government is the benefit spokesman of capitalists, the commitment that they offer absolutely does not have the credibility. 现在的美国北方政府是资本家们的利益代言人,他们给出的承诺根本就没有可信度。 If various south provinces do not take action, their benefits will be nibbled gradually. 如果南方各州不采取行动,他们的利益就会逐步被蚕食掉。 After various south province independence, the independent proposed the suggestion increases a livestock slave province, balances power gap of both sides, but was rejected by the north government. 在南方各州独立后,中立派就提出了建议增加一个畜奴州,平衡双方的实力差距,不过被北方政府拒绝了。 Also some people proposed that dual tariffs standards, conducts the trade barrier in various north provinces, raises the customs duty rate ; But various south provinces implement the free trade, cuts the customs duty rate. 还有人提出双重关税标准,既在北方各州进行贸易壁垒,提高关税税率;而南方各州实施自由贸易,降低关税税率。 Proposed the person of this suggestion, the grave mound the long grass. The capitalists refuse to compromise in this issue, they want to obtain the inexpensive industrial material and market. ” 提出这个建议的人,坟头已经长草了。资本家们拒绝在这个问题上妥协,他们想要获得廉价的工业原材料和市场。” Napoleon III nods, this explanation is more reasonable. In the world does not have love with no reason at to hate, without benefit, but also counted on that the capitalists will fight a civil war for the interest of black slave? 拿破仑三世点了点头,这个解释更加合理。世界上没有无缘无故的爱恨,如果没有利益,还指望资本家们会为了黑奴的利益打一场内战? If there is such a Holy Mother, how to see these people to the worker quite? To person on one's own side, in addition so, let alone is right ****. 如果有这么圣母的话,怎么不见这些人对工人好一点儿?对自己人尚且如此,更何况是对****。 Said, Austria benefits navy global access, goes to the American?” “这么说,地利海军这次全球访问,也是冲着美国人去的了?” Obviously, the political foresight of Napoleon III is good, looked at the Franz real motive. 显然,拿破仑三世的政治眼光还是不错的,一眼就看出来了弗朗茨的真实目的。 Normally, even if must conduct the exchange visit, is impossible to send out such huge team, the navy to run also to consume money very much. 正常情况下,就算要进行交流访问,也不可能派出这么庞大的队伍,海军跑起来也是很耗钱的。 Should have the factor in this aspect, is the Vienna government prepares to set up the prestige. “应该有这方面的因素,还有就是维也纳政府准备立威。 In recent years, Austria altruistic frequent opens the colony in the overseas, has met much troublesome, may solve in this visit. ” Foreign minister Austria replied 最近几年,地利人频繁在海外开辟殖民地,遇到过不少麻烦,可能会在这次访问中解决掉。”外交大臣弗涅回答道 After ponder moment time, Napoleon III made decided: „ We cannot idle, in recent years, the speed of outbound expansion is somewhat slow. 沉思片刻功夫后,拿破仑三世做出了决定:“我们也不能闲着,最近几年,海外扩张的速度还是有些慢。 This US civil war is an opportunity, even Austria altruistic must fish in troubled waters. If we miss an opportunity again, really fell behind. 这次美国内战就是一个机会,连地利人都要浑水摸鱼。我们要是再错过了机会,就真的落后了。 Puts out a plan as soon as possible, the interests of Americas must have French one. ” 尽快拿出一个计划,美洲地区的利益必须要有法兰西一份。” In fact the speed of French outbound expansion is not slow, but two years placed in the strategic center of gravity the Sardinia kingdom recently, slowed the speed. 实际上法国人海外扩张的速度一点儿也不慢,只不过最近两年将战略重心放在了撒丁王国上,才拖慢了速度。 This slow also relatively speaking, besides the Austria advantage, at present expansion speed in the African continent quickest is a French. 这个慢也只是相对而言的,除了地利外,目前在非洲大陆上扩张速度最快的就是法国人。
