The African railway network of shrinkage version planned to come out, in the spirit of the principle of a penny saved , a penny earned, besides main road construction central government allocation half, other branch railroad constructions, must colonize government to try to find the solution. 缩水版的非洲铁路网计划出炉了,本着能省则省的原则,除了主干道建设中央政府拨款一半外,其它的支线铁路建设,都要殖民政府自己想办法。 The main road is the strategic requirement, links up into a single stretch the colony, can increase the risk tolerance. Even if had the world war, Austria benefits can still preserve the African continent. 主干道是战略需要,把殖民地连成一片,能够增加抗风险能力。就算是发生了世界大战,奥地利也能够保住非洲大陆。 If nothing else, light/only the gold ore of South African area needs to cultivate/repair this railroad. Must block peeping at various countries, without the strength is not good. 别的不说,光南非地区的金矿就需要修这条铁路。要挡住各国的窥视,没有实力可不行。 The Portugueses do not dare to collaborate with the English, that is the benefit that John Bull gives is not very big, is not enough to make them take risk. If discovered South Africa has a lot of gold ores, they can also restrain the desire? 葡萄牙人不敢和英国人联手,那是约翰牛给出的利益不够大,不足以令他们冒险。如果发现了南非有大量的金矿,他们还能够克制住欲望么？ To put it bluntly the colony in this age, that is also only one of the wealth. To Portuguese, the interests that so long as can get is big enough, even if under the retaliation that in Austria benefits discards the colonies of other areas, that is still worth. 说白了殖民地在这个年代,那也只是财富的一种。对葡萄牙人来说,只要能够获得的利益足够大,就算是在奥地利的报复下丢掉其它地区的殖民地,那也是值得的。 Can otherwise, why Franz probably fights a war in the South African area and English? So long as the Vienna government announced that annexes the Boolean Republic, Governor Delve is not silly, how likely to continue to launch the war? 要不然的话,弗朗茨何必要在南非地区和英国人打一仗呢？只要维也纳政府宣布吞并布尔共和国,德尔福总督又不傻,怎么可能继续发动战争？ The British arrange/cloth war maximum value, is lets London government's clear realizing, battles they is not really good on the land. 英布战争最大的价值,就是让伦敦政府清醒的认识到,在陆地上作战他们真的不行。 As for the Cape Town colonizing government, it is estimated that in dozens years, are unable to walk from the shadow of this war. 至于开普敦殖民政府,估计数十年内,都无法从这场战争的阴影中走出来。 When a railroad connection, the gold ore reserves exposed even, the Cape Town colonizing government has not done the courage of matter, this is the effect of war. 等铁路一连通,就算是金矿储量暴露了,开普敦殖民政府也没有搞事情的胆子,这就是战争的效果。 Including the London government, could not mention the desire of fight similarly. Austria that because links up into a single stretch is Africa, can mobilize several hundred thousand armies to come out momentarily, must benefit in the hand to capture the price of payout the gold ore needs from Austria is too big, has exceeded their withstanding limit. 包括伦敦政府,同样提不起战斗的欲望。因为连成一片的奥属非洲,随时可以动员几十万军队出来,要从奥地利手中夺取金矿所需要的付出的代价太大,已经超过了他们的承受极限。 Must, the heavy visual degree of Franz to African continent surpass Europe, in his opinion here is the future that Austria benefits. 总得来说,弗朗茨对非洲大陆的重视度已经超过了欧洲,在他看来这里是奥地利的未来。 Without the means that expanded in continental Europe is too difficult. Without African this stretch of colony, then continental Europe these years, is impossible is so peaceful, Franz has done the matter. 没有办法,在欧洲大陆扩张太难了。如果没有非洲这片殖民地,那么欧洲大陆这么些年,也不可能那么太平,弗朗茨早就搞事情了。 If nothing else, by the Habsburg dynasty and gratitude and grudges of Ottoman empire, they barely manages to maintain a feeble existence absolutely less than now. 别的不说,以哈布斯堡王朝和奥斯曼帝国的恩怨,他们绝对苟延残喘不到现在。 The original space and time Austria advantage has not started to them, that is the strength is bad. Because of the diplomatic mistake, the domestic political struggle is in addition intense, causing in the military to be defeated in continental Europe one after another, at this time can protect oneself merely reluctantly. 原时空奥地利没有对他们下手,那是自身实力不济。因为外交失误,加上国内政治斗争激烈,导致军事上接连在欧洲大陆上失败,这个时候仅仅能够勉强自保。 Because Austria is the African colony to open, inside resources enough Austria has benefitted digestion many years, Franz gives up provoking the idea of war in continental Europe. 因为奥属非洲殖民地开辟,里面的资源已经足够奥地利消化很多年,弗朗茨才放弃了在欧洲大陆挑起战争的想法。 This is the issue of investment return ratio, the First World War belligerent parties of original space and time do not have a victor, each is the vitality damages severely, finally cheap elderly fisherman. 这是投资回报率的问题,原时空的第一次世界大战交战各方就没一个胜利者,各个都是元气大伤,最后便宜了渔翁。 The Second World War is more miserable, the combat various European countries are not the issues that the vitality damages severely, was almost annihilated, France of remaining lying down corpses avoid a tribulation reluctantly. 第二次世界大战更惨,参战的欧洲各国已经不是元气大伤的问题,几乎都是全军覆没了,就剩下躺尸的法兰西勉强算是躲过一劫。 This inside risk is too big, the acquired income is also too small. After all the domain in continental Europe is not good to digest, if had food stuck in the throat that to be finished. 这里面的风险的太大,获得的收益又太小。毕竟欧洲大陆上的地盘不好消化,要是噎住了那就完蛋了。 Has a look at the French to know, to digest the Italian area, has to focus on, the overseas colonizing expansion activity came under the influence. 看看法国人就知道,为了消化掉意大利地区,不得不集中精力,就连海外的殖民扩张活动都受到了影响。 Law Austria that is most likely to present clashed in the African continent, now the sign does not have. By influence that the strategic center of gravity changes, the French reduces in the African continent expansion speed greatly, between both countries also has enough cushion. 原本最有可能出现的法奥在非洲大陆发生碰撞,现在一点儿迹象都没有。受战略重心变化的影响,法国人在非洲大陆扩张速度大减,两国之间还有足够的缓冲。 The land of African continent is also limited, the expansion speed of French was slow, Austria benefits naturally cannot be polite. 非洲大陆的土地也是有限的,法国人的扩张速度慢了,奥地利自然不会客气。 Even both countries divided the sphere of influence, this age does not have the satellite map, the African continent faced with is so also big, even proceeds to advance 100-200 miles, some people do not know. 就算是两国划分了势力范围,这个年代没有卫星地图,非洲大陆面临又那么大,就算是往前推进个100-200英里,都不会有人知道。 A line on map, must to the actual boundary in error greatly. Is good because of the two countries sphere of influence intersection point, many are the boundless big desert, otherwise the domain of French has shrunk. 地图上的一条线,到了实际边界上的误差就大得去了。好在两国势力范围交界处,多是茫茫大沙漠,要不然法国人的地盘早就缩水了。 Seizes the chance to contend for the domain may, not only Austria benefits, the English also stepped up the infiltration to Sultan area. If the British arrange/cloth war breaks out suddenly, constrained the energy of British Austria two countries, the French was also not necessarily able to preserve in the Sultan benefit. 趁机抢地盘的可不只是奥地利,英国人也加紧了对苏丹地区的渗透。如果英布战争突然爆发,拖住了英奥两国的精力,法国人在苏丹的利益也未必能够保住。 Naturally, with forming an alliance of UK , France Austria three countries', these issues will gradually desalinate, everyone will restrain as far as possible. 当然,随着英法奥三国的结盟,这些问题都会逐渐淡化,大家会尽可能的克制。 Paris, after French political decision strategic contraction policy, invested is also weakened into here strength. By the present, was unable to suppress the situation in Mexico. 巴黎,随着法国政治决定战略收缩后,投入到这边的力量也被削弱了。到了现在,已经无法压制住墨西哥的局势。 Napoleon III has a headache now, he still in must give up the Mexican empire hesitant. This decision not good, in recent years the French government the resources that invests in Mexico are too many, gave up being really a pity directly. 拿破仑三世现在非常头疼,他还在犹豫要不要放弃墨西哥帝国。这个决定不好下,最近几年法国政府在墨西哥投入的资源太多,直接放弃实在是太可惜了。 If not Austria benefits not to Mexican expansion influence, Napoleon III must suspect that Maximiliano first is the Habsburg dynasty sends the spy, comes to put to trouble to France specially. 如果不是奥地利一直没有向墨西哥扩张势力,拿破仑三世都要怀疑马西米连诺一世是不是哈布斯堡王朝派出来间谍,专门过来给法兰西添麻烦。 Naturally, this thought flashes by. From the perspective of family interest, Habsburg dynasty , if interested to Mexico, not possible ignores Maximiliano first to set up the bystander to be the crown prince. 当然,这个念头只是一晃而过。从家族利益的角度上来说,哈布斯堡王朝要是对墨西哥有兴趣,就不可能放任马西米连诺一世立外人做皇储。 Initially after receiving this message, Napoleon III was operated by this god was shocked, he once also suspected that is the illegitimate child of Maximiliano first. 当初收到这个消息后,拿破仑三世都被这个神操作惊呆了,他一度还怀疑,那是不是马西米连诺一世的私生子。 In his opinion, even if the Habsburg family direct descendant members have no interest in the Mexican throne, kidnapped a collateral branch member to stand for the successor in the past, still compared with supporting bystander high-rank. 在他看来,就算是哈布斯堡家族嫡系成员对墨西哥皇位没有兴趣,拐带一名旁系成员过去立为继承人,也比扶持外人上位强。 If not the Bonaparte family influence is too weak, is unable to obtain the approval of local Constitutionalism Faction, otherwise Napoleon III supported the person on one's own side high-rank initially. 如果不是波拿巴家族影响力太弱,无法获得当地立宪派的认可,要不然拿破仑三世当初都扶持自己人上位了。 Napoleon III regretted, must know early Maximiliano first is so incompetent, he will not support this idiot high-rank. 拿破仑三世后悔了,要早知道马西米连诺一世这么无能,他也不会扶持这个白痴上位了。 A bright prosperous-looking old man past sixty years of age saw embarrassed of Emperor, after all this political investment is Napoleon III leads, must give up Mexico, definitely cannot raise again personally by Emperor. 一明年过花甲的富态老者看出了皇帝的窘迫,毕竟这笔政治投资是拿破仑三世主导的,现在要放弃墨西哥,肯定不能再由皇帝亲自提出来。 „ Your majesty, the investment of Mexico had been defeated , to continue to invest, is not necessarily able to recoup the cost, what now we need to do is the stop-loss. “陛下,墨西哥的投资已经失败了,继续投入下去,也未必能够收回成本,现在我们需要做的是止损。 While opportunity that the three countries form an alliance, can deter the American, we need to look for under one family/home to take over a business as soon as possible, strive to sell a good price. ” 趁着三国结盟的机会,可以震慑住美国人,我们需要尽快找一个下家来接盘,争取卖出一个好价钱。” Sells out the interests of Mexico, this truly is a good choice, at least needs compared with good of complete wipe-out. 卖掉墨西哥的利益,这确实是一个不错的选择,至少要比血本无归的好。 In order to exterminate the rebel army of Mexico, the French had lost over ten thousand soldiers from all sides, but also built ten hundreds of millions francs loans. 为了剿灭墨西哥的叛军,前前后后法国人已经损失了上万名士兵,还搭进去了十几亿法郎的贷款。 This loss, soon could catch up with English's loss in British arrange/cloth war. However pays not necessarily has the return, the rebel army of Mexico actually more suppresses are more, situation also in unceasing deterioration. 这个损失,都快要赶得上英国人在英布战争中的损失了。然而付出不一定就有回报,墨西哥的叛军却是越镇压越多,局势还在不断恶化中。 Pondered a while, asking that Napoleon III has doubts: „ Mexico is also not our colonies, the situation also in the unceasing deterioration, can we in that side benefit, whom sell to? 沉思了一会儿,拿破仑三世疑惑的问道:“墨西哥还不是我们的殖民地,局势还在不断恶化中,我们在那边的利益,能卖给谁？ Because Spain the struggle of throne broke out the civil war, not possible to meddle Mexico at this time ; The English plan too, is impossible the high price ; The strategic center of gravity of Austria altruistic operation overseas colony in the African continent, has no interest in Mexico. 西班牙因为王位之争爆发了内战,不可能在这个时候插手墨西哥;英国人算计太多,不可能出高价;奥地利人经营海外殖民地的战略重心在非洲大陆,对墨西哥没兴趣。 The remaining countries, do not have the strength either, is impossible to take over ; Either does not have the poor devil of money, will give to them to dislike expensively. ” 剩下的国家,要么是没有实力,根本就不可能接手;要么就是没钱的穷鬼,送给他们都会嫌贵。” This is the key of issue, they are incapable of controlling the situation, but can also count on that who takes over a business? 这才是问题的关键,他们都无力控制局势,还能够指望谁去接盘？ Everyone is not a fool, so long as is understood that Mexican situation, knows that this is a mess, will not jump toward this fiery pit. 大家都不是傻子,只要是了解墨西哥局势的,都知道这是一个烂摊子,根本就不会往这个火坑里面跳。 Stopped, seemed like thought of anything, Napoleon III scolded sternly: „ Marquis Feiker, do not tell me is an American? This is not possible. 停顿了一下,似乎是想到了什么,拿破仑三世厉声呵斥道:“菲克尔侯爵,不要告诉我是美国人？这是不可能的。 Sold to any country, sold to the United States of America and Confederate States of America is only not good, this is agrees in four country conventions. 无论是卖给任何一个国家都可以,唯独卖给美利坚合众国和美利坚联盟国不行,这是在四国公约中约定好的。 Once violated the treaty, we must face other three countries' sanctions, the newly-built UK , France Austria triple alliances, will disintegrate immediately! ” 一旦违背了条约,我们就要面临其它三国的制裁,刚刚建立的英法奥三国同盟,立即就会土崩瓦解！” In keeping in balance the issue of American, the standpoints of UK , France Austria three countries' are consistent. The present France is a responsible great nation, cannot act unreasonably. 在制衡美国人的问题上,英法奥三国的立场都是一致的。现在的法兰西可是一个负责任的大国,万万不能够乱来。 In order to sell several money, must break up the UK , France Austria triple alliances, Napoleon III has not that been shortsighted. 为了卖几个钱,就要拆散英法奥三国同盟,拿破仑三世还没有那么短视。 The diplomatic predicament that his very clear France faces, in the surface everyone reconciled, but various European countries preemption secretly has existed. 他可是非常清楚法兰西所面临的外交困境,表面上大家还是和解了,可是欧洲各国暗地里的排挤一直都是存在的。 Especially annexes after the Italian area, their days do not feel better. If tore up the triple alliances, British Austria both countries may retaliate, not being able to do well is an anti-France coalition. 尤其是吞并意大利地区过后,他们的日子就不好过了。要是撕毁了三国同盟,英奥两国可能会报复,搞不好又是一次反法同盟。 Saw Napoleon III to get angry, the old man shuts up immediately. This money of doing right by American, Emperor has not promised him not to have the means that cannot oneself building. 看到拿破仑三世发怒了,老者立即闭了嘴。这已经对得起美国人的钱了,皇帝不答应他也没有办法,总不能把自己给搭进去。 Seemed like perceives seeking help of marquis Feiker, the First Lord of the Treasury Alan opens the mouth solution contour: Right that „ your majesty said that Mexico cannot fall into the American hand absolutely. 似乎是觉察到了菲克尔侯爵的求助,财政大臣艾伦开口解围道:“陛下说的对,墨西哥绝对不能够落入美国人手中。 However the Mexican issue must be solved as soon as possible, if drags again, we only will compensate many. 不过墨西哥问题也必须要尽快解决,要是再拖下去,我们只会赔得更多。 Suggested personally, who accepts the Mexican empire, so long as can safeguard us to fulfill with the debt of Mexican government normally, can obtain us the interests that has in the area. ” 个人建议,无论是谁接受墨西哥帝国,只要能够保障我们同墨西哥政府的债务正常履行,都可以获得我们在当地所拥有的利益。” Obviously First Lord of the Treasury Alan is sober, he very clear by the Mexican chaotic situation, is impossible to sell the price, so long as can safeguard the debt to fulfill normally is God blesses. 显然财政大臣艾伦是清醒的,他非常清楚以墨西哥纷乱的局势,根本就不可能卖出好价钱,只要能保障债务正常履行都是上帝保佑。 This he does not have report many hopes, the object who after all at this time is willing to take over a business were too few. Only if takes the risk that breaks off with British Austria both countries to make the American enter the stadium, otherwise basically could not find this fool. 就连这他都没有报多少希望,毕竟这个时候肯接盘的对象太少了。除非冒着同英奥两国决裂的风险引美国人入场,不然基本上找不到这个冤大头。 The Mexican government owes the debt of France is not a small number, by the financial revenue situation in Mexico, does not have any expenses must repay even for dozens years. 墨西哥政府欠法国的债务可不是一笔小数字,以墨西哥的财政收入情况,就算是没有任何开销也要偿还数十年。 After pondering the moment time, Napoleon III says: „ Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacts with various European countries as soon as possible, who tests them to be interested in taking over the Mexican empire. 沉思了片刻功夫后,拿破仑三世开口说道:“外交部尽快和欧洲各国接触,试探一下他们谁有兴趣接手墨西哥帝国。 Now could not have attended to so many, did not strive for selling how much money, so long as can let go as soon as possible, avoided complete wipe-out on the line. ” 现在已经顾不上那么多了,不求卖出多少钱,只要能够尽快脱手,避免血本无归就行。”
