The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven Chapter 75

As for the chaos in the church, this was already expected by Franz. If they missed this matter, they would not be called magic sticks.

The last time hunger stones were discovered in Austria was during the Napoleonic Wars in 1800, when the Scourge killed nearly half a million people in Austria.

Austria is a country with a dense network of rivers, but this year there were a lot of fighting due to water grabbing.

The lakes and swamps in Austria even show signs of drying up. Of course, it is a good thing for farmers to dry up the swamps, so as to avoid the need to pump water when opening up wasteland, so a large number of swamps have been developed into fields.

For these pioneers, as long as they pay a fee to the Austrian government, they can become the new owners of the land.

The Austrian government strongly encourages land reclamation, because it can increase food output and increase national income.

However, as the drought continued, water source problems appeared in more and more places. This situation has not happened for decades. For a time, the entire Austrian imperial government was very busy.

Coupled with the fueling of the church, the whole of Austria is looking like a catastrophe is imminent, so smart people have begun to hoard food. Although the current price of food has been raised by Franz, the facts before them make them feel helpless. Join in without pinching your nose.

Although the drought is very severe, it is okay for Austria because there are enough rivers. But other European countries have not been so lucky.

The most serious of these are of course Spain and France. France's agriculture has been hit hard again, and food prices in Germany are also rising this year.

Of course, the smart French have already started hoarding food. Because of the downturn in French agriculture in recent years, the French have always had the habit of hoarding food, so it is not a big problem to survive this year's crisis.

Of course, other countries in Europe are not having a good time, including the high-latitude Britain, where forest fires occur frequently, and those coal miners are even more miserable, many of whom suffocate to death in mines.

There were even a large number of heat deaths in southern Italy, and even mosquitoes fled here.

King Ferdinand II of the Two Sicilies was sitting at the table at this time, and it was his officials who presented him with a report.

"The people of the Two Sicilies are in dire need of help. Now the farmers don't even dare to work in the fields, for fear of being overheated to death. Please consider opening warehouses to release grain..."

"Fart! Fart! This group of unscrupulous people deserves it!?" Ferdinand II slapped the report heavily on the table. Nine months ago, he was a "smart king" known for his freedom and enlightenment.

Until the people of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies fired cannons on Ferdinand II's palace and launched an uprising demanding the deprivation of the king's rights, and at the same time shattered all the illusions of Ferdinand II, he no longer felt free Doctrine can save his country.

Ferdinand II, who had a broken dream, turned to the conservatives and became like his ancestors overeating. In less than a year, he became a fat man of two hundred catties.

This time, instead of helping his people, he ordered his soldiers to forcibly confiscate the land of those peasants who could not hand over their food.

In the short term, it increased the country's income, but it planted a huge hidden danger for his rule.

The northward migration of southern Italian mosquitoes has hurt northern Italians, who have never seen such a large and fierce mosquito.

In fact, Italy's warm and humid climate is conducive to the breeding of mosquitoes, but at this time there is no effective insecticide, so the number of mosquitoes in Italy quickly reached a terrifying level.

The ravages of mosquitoes brought about the spread of malaria. People throughout Italy were in panic, and they asked the Pope to "repel mosquitoes".

So Pope Gregory XVI went to St. Peter's Basilica to pray for blessings. On the day of blessings, a "tiger mosquito" bit the Pope's face severely.

Pope Gregory XVI immediately stated that he had suffered the disaster alone, and the next day he was infected with malaria and could not attend Mass.

Europe is in dire straits, but North America is enjoying good weather. The US's grain exports are expected to double this year.

In Mexico, Franz signed a grain purchase contract with some farmers in the south. Of course, the price is definitely lower than the market price, but compared to those farmers who grow other crops, they still make money.

With the construction of the American railway, the United States' ability to control the west is constantly strengthening, and the French and Mexicans are their greatest enemies before their manifest destiny.

American immigrants continue to illegally cross the US-Mexico border to seek their own land, but this time the Mexicans did not tolerate, but caught and killed one by one, which escalated the conflict between the United States and Mexico.

However, the real threat in the eyes of Americans is the French. After the French got Texas, they continued to immigrate to Texas. Now the number of French in Texas has almost exceeded the number of local Americans. .

The French's Texas has not been affected by the extreme climate. There are large tracts of virgin land here, which makes the French excited.

What makes the French even more excited is that not only does it produce cotton, but it can also provide food for the local people. It is simply not known how many times stronger than that of Algeria.

As early as 1830, France sent troops to expedition to Algeria, and France occupied Algeria on July 5 of the same year.

Hussein, governor of Algeria, surrendered Algeria to France without resistance, but was exiled.

But the indigenous, Arab and Berber struggles in Algeria never stopped.

Louis-Philippe was troubled by this, the war had been going on for eight years, and Texas was completely different~www.mtlnovel.com~ France received it very smoothly without even a little resistance.

At the same time, it can bring huge returns to France, which further strengthens the French's North American policy.

The strength of France in Texas has reached 8,000. Of course, most of these soldiers are reclaiming wasteland and doing construction.

Although France is in dire straits, the French do not like to immigrate abroad very much, so even if the French government gives a very good immigration policy, there has not been a large-scale immigration wave. 20,000 people are really not enough for France with a population of 31 million. many.

The plan of the French colonial authorities is to immigrate 100,000 to 200,000 people within five years, and then continue to buy land in North America.. Finally, create another France in North America.

However, the actions of the Americans aroused the vigilance of the French. The French felt that the crazy military expansion of the Americans was aimed at France.

After obtaining the consent of the British, the French decided to add 20,000 troops to Texas, which would not only ensure the safety of Texas, but also increase immigration to reclaim wasteland.

The proposal to increase the troops was strongly supported by Louis-Philippe, for the Americans had been promoting him as an imposter, an evil tyrant.

In fact, this is just the propaganda needs of the Americans, but Louis-Philippe could not accept this. What he hated the most was that someone questioned that he was not qualified to be a king.

However, the proposal to increase troops was opposed by Governor Gabriel of Texas, because he felt that Texas is now in a special period and a special position.

He was afraid that the influx of a large number of troops would alert the United States and Mexico, and that a large number of immigrants would most likely conflict with the natives.
