Increased an autonomous province, besides published this news in the newspaper of Vienna, has not caused the least bit spray in new Holy Roman Empire . 增加了一个自治省,除了在维也纳的报纸上刊登了这一消息外,没有在新神圣罗马帝国引起半点儿浪花。 The folk has no response, the Vienna government was different. Every year although the incomes of several hundred thousand aegises are not many, but their payouts are also small! 民间没有什么反应,维也纳政府就不一样了。每年几十万神盾的收益虽然不多,可是他们的付出也小啊! Do not look the colony that Austria benefits are many, in fact cannot make what money. 不要看地利的殖民地不少,实际上根本就赚不到什么钱。 By the end of 1861, except for earliest development West Africa, because has the gold ore and plantation, realizes to gain outside 126,000 aegises, other area loses money the condition, nothing but is many issues of owing. 截止到1861年末,除了最早开发的西非地区,因为拥有金矿和种植园,实现赢利12.6万神盾外,别的地区都是亏损状态,无非是亏的多少问题。 Central America colony loses money 2.164 million aegises ; 中美洲地区殖民地亏损216.4万神盾; The Nigerian colonizing government loses money 1.448 million aegises ; 尼日利亚殖民政府亏损144.8万神盾; The Congo area colony loses money 684,000 aegises ; 刚果地区殖民地亏损68.4万神盾; The Southeast Asia area colony loses money 682,000 aegises ; 南洋地区殖民地亏损68.2万神盾; Cameroun loses money 342,000 aegises ; 喀麦隆殖民地亏损34.2万神盾; The Libyan colony loses money 216,000 aegises ; 利比亚殖民地亏损21.6万神盾; Sinai Peninsula loses money 205,000 aegises ; 西奈半岛亏损20.5万神盾; Cyprus Island, Island of Crete and other Mediterranean islands lose money 186,000 aegises ; 塞浦路斯岛、克里特岛等地中海岛屿亏损18.6万神盾; The Pataognia foothold loses money 28,000 aegises ; 巴塔哥尼亚高原据点亏损2.8万神盾; Other local certain colonizing footholds total lose money 128,000 aegises. 其它地区若干殖民据点共计亏损12.8万神盾。 Adds numerous, all colonies that in 1861 Austria benefitted added total to lose money 5.957 million aegises. 林林总总加起来,1861年地利的所有殖民地加起来共计亏损595.7万神盾。 This is in the situation of establishing has not resorted to arms on a large scale, if erupted into the war, this number must increase several times, even is more than ten times. 这还是建立没有大举对外用兵的情况下,要是爆发了战争,这个数字还要增加几倍,甚至是十几倍。 The large amount of loss is restricts Austria to benefit the core element that colonizing expands, particularly the colony opens beginning, that is completely the pure investment condition. 巨额的亏损是制约地利殖民扩张的核心因素,尤其是殖民地开辟初起,那完全是纯投入状态。 Although the recently added Lanfang autonomous province is not worth mentioning, was in 1861 annual calculation, they actually shared the military expenses of 580,000 aegises. 新增加的兰芳自治省虽然不值得一提,可是在1861年末的年度核算中,他们却分摊了58万神盾的军费。 In name shares the military expenses, protects the state security, in fact this and direct turning in central government has no difference. 名义上是分摊军费,保护邦国的安全,实际上这和直接上缴中央政府没有任何区别。 This merely is only a start, with the lapse of time, the circulation of aegis, a seigniorage can receive. 这仅仅只是一个开始,随着时间的推移,神盾的流通,还有一笔铸币税可以收。 These income add, the Southeast Asia area since 1862, will transform by the investment stage into the return stage. 这些收入加起来,从1862年开始南洋地区,就会由投入阶段转变为回报阶段。 If industry and commerce market that considering that increases, provides the industrial material that for the home, the value was higher. 如果考虑到增加的工商业市场,为国内提供的工业原材料,价值就更高了。 The Vienna government needs to pay merely is the safekeeping of security, this does not need saying that the source of wealth in naturally must protect. 维也纳政府需要付出的仅仅是安全保护,这根本就不需要说,财源所在自然要保护了。 First Lord of the Treasury Carl proposed in high spirits: „ Your majesty, our colonizing ways whether must change, income that this indirect rule yields, is not lower than our positive governing income. 财政大臣卡尔兴冲冲的提议道:“陛下,我们的殖民方式是否要改变一下,这种间接统治获得的收益,并不比我们直接控制收益低。 If the military force seizes Kalimantan Island, within at least five years we are unable to gain, the profit that behind can bring is not necessarily able to increase many. ” 要是武力占领加里曼丹岛,至少五年之内我们无法赢利,后面能够带来的利润未必会增加多少。” Austria benefits in the overseas opens colonizing, is only in the surface the scenery, in fact swallows. 地利在海外开辟殖民,也只是表面上风光,实际上有苦难言。 Can say as First Lord of the Treasury Carl responsiblily: Even if synthesizes the tax revenue computation that various aspects increase, the Vienna government was still losing money. 作为财政大臣卡尔可以负责任的说:就算是综合各方面增加的税收计算,维也纳政府仍然处于亏损状态。 Naturally, the aristocrats and capitalists who are engaged in colonizing make money, the economy in Austria benefit for the nation also therefore profits. 当然,从事殖民活动的贵族、资本家们赚到了钱,地利国内的经济也因此受益。 Suddenly presented one type not to need to invest, merely provided the safekeeping of security, the pattern that can make a profit, First Lord of the Treasury Carl naturally had the interest. 突然出现了一种不需要投入,仅仅只是提供安全保护,就能够获利的模式,财政大臣卡尔自然有兴趣了。 Franz shakes the head saying: „ Do not have a dream, how Lanfang autonomous province good deed probably meets daily. 弗朗茨摇了摇头说:“不要做梦了,兰芳自治省这种好事怎么可能天天遇到。 The overseas indigenous kingdom are many, but these country operate must go bankrupt, but can also count on that they do provide the boost to be inadequate to us? 海外的土著王国不少,可是这些国家自己经营都要破产,还能指望他们给我们提供助力不成? Lanfang autonomous province is a company, but was mistaken as the Republic by the outside world, Kalimantan Island is also rich in the gold, can enhance the boost to us. 兰芳自治省本身就是一家公司,只不过被外界误认为是共和国,加里曼丹岛又盛产黄金,才能够给我们提高助力的。 If really does several indigenous kingdoms to enter the empire, you determined that following state and domestic aristocrat won't be restless? ” 况且,真要是搞几个土著王国进入帝国,你确定下面的邦国、国内的贵族不会闹腾?” The hopeful people, cancelled this impractical thought instantaneously. If really several indigenous nobilities enter the empire, they will not comply. 满怀期望的众人,瞬间打消了这个不切实际的念头。真要是有几个土著王公进入帝国,他们也不会答应。 Lanfang autonomous province was one group of civilians, Franz also sent several low level all living things to make the aristocrat, the political position was limited, can provide the financial resource for the government, everyone will not mind. 兰芳自治省原本都是一帮平民,弗朗茨也只是打发了几个低级众生制贵族,政治上的地位有限,又能够为政府提供财力,大家都不会介意。 If emits several kings to come, position are higher than their group of people, it is estimated that will be everybody at heart will not be balanced. 要是冒出几个国王进来,一个个的地位比他们这帮人都高,估计是谁都会心里不平衡。 This is different from European this state, others are the recognized established aristocrat, everyone has accepted. 这和欧洲这个邦国不同,人家是公认的老牌贵族,大家早就接受了。 Naturally, in the government these high levels want to become the king, has the opportunity. So long as the merit is big enough, Franz did not mind that seals several colony kings. 当然,政府中这些高层想要成为国王,也不是没有机会。只要功劳足够大,弗朗茨不介意封几位殖民地国王。 This king are most also in name, theoretically each fiefdom aristocrat can establish a country, but in fact most aristocrats cannot establish the country. 这种国王最多也就名义上的,理论上每一个封地贵族都可以建立一个国家,可实际上大部分贵族建立不起来国家。 Developing the colony that completes not to seal greatly, the place of without owner can only not develop. 已经开发完成的殖民地不会大封,只能是没有开发的无主之地。 Good of development is an uncle country and Hou Guo, even is the duchy and kingdom, the development not good to draw support from country's strength rule, finally was still only a fiefdom aristocrat. 开发的好就是一个伯国、侯国、甚至是公国、王国,开发的不好要借助国家的力量统治,最后仍然只是一个封地贵族。 This age, the country can trade, the title can also sell, can buy to the king. But price very high, sell usually is only the lifelong system aristocrat. 这个年代,国家都是可以交易的,爵位也是可以出售的,也可以向国王买。只不过价格非常的高,出售的通常只是终身制贵族。 On several lifelong system aristocrats who for example this time Lanfang autonomous province confers, that is others gives a present, otherwise possibly confers rank and title was not the Baron and viscount, but was the honor knight. 就比如这次兰芳自治省册封的几个终身制贵族,那都是人家送了礼的,不然的话可能册封的就不是男爵、子爵了,而是荣誉骑士。 This is also insufficient many, if some people who the ritual delivers bid enough high, the hereditary nobility is not cannot seal. So long as in any case does not make Franz have the fiefdom, then all are open to discuss. 这也是礼送的不够多,如果有人出价足够高,世袭贵族也不是不能封。反正只要不让弗朗茨出封地,那么一切好商量。 This is not he alone is selling, almost can buy the title in any European king hand, the premise is you are rich enough. 这又不是他一个人在卖,几乎在任何一个欧洲国王手中都可以买到爵位,前提是你足够有钱。 This price is also different, for example the new Holy Roman Empire title is difficult to buy. 这个价格也不一样,比如说新神圣罗马帝国爵位就非常难买到。 In order to guarantee the honor of aristocrat, Franz confers the aristocrat to have the limit to various King state, but must report the Emperor examination. 为了保证贵族的荣誉,弗朗茨对各邦国国王册封贵族就有名额限制,还必须要报皇帝审批。 Person who does not have the contribution to the country, usually will not be passed. The family background good exception, son of king passes certainly for example. 对国家没有贡献的人,通常不会被通过。出身好的例外,比如说国王的儿子那就一定通过。 The people in Lanfang autonomous province can obtain the title, that was they urges Lanfang to join the new Holy Roman empire, was the active feudal official. 兰芳自治省的人能够获得爵位,那是他们促使了兰芳加入新神罗帝国,也属于有功之臣。 To spend money enough to buy the title, is lower than 1 million aegis great Franz your majesty not to receive generally. This is his price at heart, and is still growing to grow with his net worth. 想要用钱够买爵位的,低于百万神盾伟大的弗朗茨陛下概不接待。这是他的心里价位,并且还在随着他身家增长而增长。 Since the immediate consequence has been Franz ascends the throne not to sell any title. Let many people think that Emperor takes seriously the aristocrat honor, disdains to money in attending, increased the prestige in aristocrat. 直接后果就是弗朗茨登基以来就没有卖出过任何爵位。让很多人以为皇帝非常重视贵族荣誉,对金钱不屑于顾,增加了在贵族中的声望。 Thing that the people to are often more difficult to obtain, more goes after like ducks. The idle work does not seal the nobility, not only has not blocked everyone to become the enthusiasm of aristocrat, instead makes one wallow. 人往往都对越难获得的东西,越是趋之若鹜。无功不封爵,不但没有挡住大家成为贵族的热情,反而让人更加沉迷其中。 In order to obtain the aristocrat title, Austria benefits many children of the nobility and capitalists to organize the manpower to open to expand the colony, then the conversion meritorious service gains the title. 为了获得贵族爵位,地利很多贵族子弟、资本家都组织人手开扩殖民地,然后折算功勋获取爵位。 General public this financial resource, cannot only enlist in the military to enlist, gains the meritorious service in the battlefield. 普通民众没有这份儿财力,只能参军入伍,在战场上获取功勋。 Under this big background, was only in 1861 Franz conferred 286 aristocrats, fiefdom aristocrat 61. 在这种大背景下,光是1861年弗朗茨就册封了286名贵族,其中封地贵族61名。 The fiefdom naturally was the overseas colony, the domestic fiefdom Emperor flight of steps leading to a palace hall started not to have many, may be unable to withstand enfeoffs. 封地自然是海外殖民地了,国内的封地皇帝陛下手中也没多少,可经不起这么分封。 Colonizes minister Yosip Jelacic to propose: „ Your majesty, the colonizing section summarized the basic information of each colony, through the analysis discovered that the Southeast Asia area is most suitable to colonize. 殖民大臣约西普・耶拉契奇提议道:“陛下,殖民部总结了各个殖民地的基本资料,通过分析发现南洋地区是最适合殖民的。 The local land fertile, bountiful, only needs few investments to receive the large return, colonizes the section suggestion then to increase the expansion in Southeast Asia area. ” 当地土地肥沃、物产丰富,只需要很少的投入就能够获得丰厚的回报,殖民部建议接下来加大在南洋地区的扩张。” Franz read the map, hesitant. In the short-term the Southeast Asia area truly is the most suitable colony, bountiful, the pleasant weather is easy to rule. 弗朗茨看了看地图,犹豫了起来。短期来看南洋地区确实是最适合的殖民地,物产丰富、气候宜人且易于统治。 The shortcoming was too far, and western France , UK responsibility four country influences were promiscuous, wanted to continue the expansion to be easy to initiate the diplomacy to conflict. 缺点就是太远了,并且英法西荷四国势力混杂,想要继续扩张容易引发外交冲突。 It is not Franz also fears the conflict, what he is worried is pays and returns the issue that. So long as Austria benefits does not snatch the colony of various countries, the goal of aiming is the place of without owner, the conflict in the controllable range. 不是弗朗茨还怕冲突,他担心的是付出与回报的问题。只要地利不抢各国的殖民地,瞄准的目标是无主之地,冲突就在可控范围内。 The strength that Austria benefits is not infinite, now the outdoor shop unfolds is very big, this in the English, is only equally matched with the French. 地利的实力不是无限的,现在摊子铺开的已经很大了,仅此于英国人,和法国人不相上下。 In order to guard against the US rises, Central America strategy is essential one point ; The viewpoint from long-term development, the close African continent will control. 为了防备美国崛起,中美洲地区战略是必不可少的一环;从长远发展的角度考虑,近在咫尺的非洲大陆必要加以控制。 The Southeast Asia strategy has in fact been the last, that feared that in the next one or two years sent the strength, has the limit to invest merely. 南洋战略实际上一直都排在最后,那怕最近一两年发了力,也仅仅只是有限度投入。 Franz raised all issues directly: Where did colonizing section have a liking for? Who is the competitor? Needs the big investment? Risk that possibly faces big? Return that it is expected that receives, how long also needs?” 弗朗茨直接抛出了所有问题:“殖民部看上了什么地方?竞争对手是谁?需要多大的投入?可能面临的风险有多大?预计获得的回报,又需要多长时间?” Colonizes minister Yosip Jelacic to reply: „ Alternative goal has, South China Peninsula including the gold-edged dynasty, Thailand and Vietnam, Malay Peninsula, Sumatera and Sulawesi Pulau, as well as certain Nakakoshima islets. 殖民大臣约西普・耶拉契奇回答道:“备选目标有很多,中南半岛包括金边王朝、泰国、越南,还有马来半岛、苏门答腊岛、苏拉威西岛、以及若干中小岛屿。 These places are very good, although various countries started the infiltration, but has not built the colonizing political power, according to the international convention is also at the free competition stage. 这些地方都很不错,各国虽然开始了渗透,但是还没有建立起殖民政权,按照国际惯例还处于自由竞争阶段。 The UK , France Jose five countries may become our competitors, including us, has the colonizing foothold in these local countries. 英法荷西普五国都有可能成为我们的竞争对手,包括我们在内,在这些地区各国均有殖民据点。 Judged initially, the Dutch has locked Sumatera, they have seized many areas on island. But their strength is limited, for a short time in the indigenous political power with island does not have the means. 初步判断,荷兰人已经锁定了苏门答腊岛,他们已经占领了岛上的不少地区。只不过他们实力有限,一时半会儿拿岛上的土著政权没有办法。 The relations because of Straits of Malacca, the tentacle of English has gone down to Malaysia, possibly is the biggest opponent who we must face. 因为马六甲海峡的关系,英国人的触手已经深入到了马来西亚,可能是我们要面临的最大对手。 The French as if intend the South China Peninsula, if our goal option collision, must have a battle. 法国人似乎有意中南半岛,如果我们选择目标撞车的话,少不了一番争斗。 Goal that the investment and risk, must look at the choice. The investment that basically benefit richer area, needs is bigger, the competition that faces is also more brutal. 投入和风险,就要看选择的目标了。基本上利益越丰厚的地区,所需要的投入越大,面临的竞争也就越残酷。 The returns of these places are good, theoretically builds after the colonizing political power, in three years can realize the balanced revenues and expenditures. ” 这些地方的回报率都不错,理论上建立殖民政权过后,三年内就可以实现收支平衡。” Without the means that without determining to have that many competitors join, wanted to calculate the cost is really difficult. 没办法,在不确定有多少竞争对手加入的情况下,想要核算成本实在是太难了。 Colonizing is a indefinite investment, seems like the delicacy area, in fact may also be together the weak. 殖民本来就是一项不确定的投入,很多看上去美味的地区,实际上也有可能是一块鸡肋。 After hesitant moment time, Franz made decided: „ Established strategy is invariable, although Southeast Asia area delicacy, but in fact we can eat are not many. 犹豫片刻功夫后,弗朗茨做出了决定:“既定的战略不变,南洋地区虽然美味,可实际上我们能够吃下去的并不多。 The colonizing section can focus on the Nakakoshima islet of without owner, other areas try in situation in one's power then, ran upon with various countries can conduct the benefit exchange. 殖民部可以把目标放在无主的中小岛屿上,其它地区在力所能及的情况下尝试一下即可,和各国撞上了可以进行利益交换。 Where we are impossible to butt, once surpassed the limit, the colony is not the tonic, instead is toxicant awfully. 我们不可能什么地方都插一脚,一旦超越了极限,殖民地就不在是补品,反而是要命的毒药。 The Prussia kingdom do not join the colonizing team? Helps their, directing Prussian to enter the Southeast Asia area, gives them an opportunity of grand opening. ” 普鲁士王国不是要加入殖民队伍么?帮把他们一把,引普鲁士人进入南洋地区,给他们一个开门红的机会。” Overseas colonizing not only looks at the national strength, what are more is must look at the investment. Austria benefits invests after Central America and African continent vigorously, can invest the strength of Southeast Asia area to be very small. 海外殖民不仅仅是看国力,更多的还是要看投入。地利在大力投入中美洲、非洲大陆过后,能投入南洋地区的实力已经很小了。 The strength is insufficient, blind on hard must suffer a loss. With it dingy expelling, might as well keep from the beginning a little, tiring the people and squandering resources of province loses face. 实力不足,盲目硬上是要吃亏的。与其被人灰溜溜的赶走,不如从一开始就保守一点儿,省的劳民伤财还丢人。 As for helping the Prussia kingdom, that is convenient, but is, lets Prussian on the path in colonial empire is farther. 至于帮助普鲁士王国,那只是顺手而为,让普鲁士人在殖民帝国的道路上走的更远一些。 If takes it, must first with it. 若要取之,必先与之。 If cannot see the advantage, how Prussian is willing to invest vigorously? 要是见不到好处,普鲁士人怎么舍得大力投入呢? The Prussia national strength is limited, the navy invested in a big way, the army invested was naturally short, in the future the Austria advantage will unify the difficulty of German area also to drop. 普鲁士国力有限,海军投入大了,陆军投入自然就少了,未来地利统一德意志地区的难度也就下降了。 Depending on this point, is worth the Austria advantage paying the interests of Southeast Asia area. After Germany unifies in any case, these meat in the pot, will not owe. 凭这一点,就值得地利付出南洋地区的利益。反正德意志统一过后,这些肉还是在锅里,怎么也不会亏。
