Austria 1840 - v2 Chapter 115

PS: Thank you, Feng Dao Frost Sword, the phantom thief キッド?コナン, hg0202, three days of light. thank you all.

In the last book, it was mentioned that Her Royal Highness, in Novi Sad, which is a thousand kilometers away from Vienna, in this remote country, also gave birth to a small public event.

Little furry child, with a lot of hair and wrinkled skin, looks ugly, but very healthy.

As for the princess herself, she is even more healthy. If it wasn’t for the doctor’s advice, she would have gone out for a walk by the Danube.

Sturdy life without explanation.

There is no explanation for the sturdy body: there are a lot of sick children in the family, and Princess Maria is unexpectedly healthy.

A week after the princess gave birth, Carl saw that everything was fine, so he took Ida to the princess’ nursery.

“Karl, will this hairy girl marry in the future?”

“His Royal Highness Princess Maria Anna, please note that as an old aunt in her thirties, you have reached the age of greasy, but you also have options that are not greasy.”

Carl calmed down and criticized her:

“Don’t pull the doll for a kiss.”

Carl glanced at her again and re-emphasized his creed:

“Besides, I don’t marry acquaintances, I don’t marry relatives, and I don’t marry anyone who has a common ancestor within six generations.”

“I’m still thinking of finding a rich man for the baby. Her title is not high enough.”

Princess Maria grumbled.

“Isn’t the family’s new rules out? If you don’t marry someone recommended by the family, you will also give a viscount, the eldest princess and the Grand Duke John, and they will make up for it. Unless it is particularly outrageous. Besides, Uncle Schmidt’s credit is more than anything. Nobles are strong.”

Carl looked at this little baby, the hair on his face had shed a lot, and the skin was no longer wrinkled. It was already a beautiful baby.

“We have an ice goddess, she never considers marrying a wealthy family, she says she is a wealthy family.”

Carl did not give a transliteration, it is a free translation of the name

“This goddess is too manly, a real man. How much does this Bingbing have?”

Carl did the math. It is said that when Sister Bingbing was at her most prosperous, she had a little over one billion RMB. So he replied:

“Goddess Bingbing is not too rich, only 100 million pounds.”

“One hundred million, you still say? I don’t even have one million pounds. Including all the real estate of Schmidt and me, it is estimated to be more than three hundred thousand. Is it worth your one hundred million pounds?”

Carl thought about the difference in purchasing power. According to the purchasing power of 1 pound compared to the modern RMB (see the end of Chapter 56 and the explanation at the end of Chapter 72), Fan Bingbing’s net worth is estimated to be 100,000-300,000 pounds.

Well, he is still quite rich, no wonder he dares to call himself a wealthy family. Compared with the woman on the other side of the strait who calls herself a wealthy family, she is much richer. That woman, which is hundreds of millions of Taiwan dollars, is an order of magnitude lower than Fan Bingbing.

“Aunt Maria, I’m wrong. She has a total of 100,000 pounds, including various real estate. In fact, you don’t have to worry, even if you have ten or eight children, each person will share an average of 30,000 or 40,000 pounds, which is only half of it. A wealthy man.”

He paused, then said:

“This is based on the current wealth of you and Uncle Schmidt. You will definitely be richer in the future.”

There is another sentence in my heart, if you get married so late, you will not have ten or eight children. Generally speaking, it is only four or five.

Even if the wealth of the two of you is not increasing, each child has about 80,000 pounds, a proper wealthy family.

Carl first accompanied Maria to chat for a while, and at the strong request of the princess’ aunt, Carl praised her freshly-baked cousin again, draining all the beautiful words in her stomach.

“Auntie, I’m going to Italy in the next few days, and I’m going to shove all the thorns to the ground, give them chili water, sit on the tiger bench, and let them know that I am a big Austria, and I am not a good person. “

Maria knew that Carl had been planning to go to Italy for a long time, and it was because she wanted to take a look at this little thing before leaving when she had a baby, and it was delayed until now.

And when Belgrade’s troops were transferred, he could leave with confidence, and Maria chose to turn a blind eye.

“Hopefully, you can give the old man a long face in the past. That Louisa, you guys have a good chat, I didn’t see that Uncle Rena, who is so cowardly, can raise a talent like Luisa.”

Casually hurting her old uncle, Princess Maria said:

“Well, after scolding the old uncle, the anger is much smoother.”

Then Karl and the princess talked about several important things. First, this locomotive, textile and machine tool factory, as well as the steel factory in Smederevo; second, the railway, the city with Novi Sad as the center, can be connected .

Carl bids farewell to Princess Maria, and the little prince of the princess’ family.

Karl and the old war god, along the Sava River, all the way north-west, to Zagreb (Croatia), and then to Ljubljana (Slovenia).

Starting from Ljubljana, it no longer goes against the Sava River, but turns southwest to Trieste.

Carl also shared his ideas with the old war **** along the way, especially the railroad and the locomotive.

“Little Karl, do you mean that the railway starts from Novi Sad and goes all the way to the northwest, the same way as when we first arrived, along the Sava River, to Ljubljana?”

“Yes, Uncle, this is absolutely no problem. Humans build roads and move along rivers in mountainous areas. Railways are also roads. It also follows this law.”

“Wouldn’t it be better for southern Hungary and northern Italy to communicate with Vienna on a single line? Is it necessary to build a railway?”

“Old Uncle, your idea is correct, provided that South Hungary is controlled by an opponent, that is, for fear of collusion between the two opponents, and now, it is South Hungary and the Grand Duchy of Austria together to influence northern Italy.”

The old military **** understood:

“These two places, one light and one dark, one public and one private, come to influence northern Italy: Vienna is light and public; Novi Sad is dark and private.”

Carl paused for a moment, and seeing that the old military **** understood, he continued to draw cakes for him:

“Now South Hungary is about to be controlled by us, with Novi Sad as the center, the industry is developing very smoothly, and the scale will be bigger and bigger,

Northwest: Osijek-Marburg, connecting Graz and Vienna, opened to traffic before the end of 1841;

North by West: Slavonif (Slavonia Brod) Zagreb, to be repaired in 1842 and open to traffic within two years;

Southeast: Banstadt (Pančevo) – Smederevo, the railway we will build in 1842, open to traffic within a year;

Due East: to Behekrek (Zrenjanin) – Rexica – Simeria, the railway to be repaired in 1843, opened to traffic within one year;

North-East, Behekrek-Tamesh Fort-Simeria, started in 1844 and opened to traffic within a year;

True north and then northeast: Subotica-Szeged, started in 1845 and opened to traffic within a year;

Due east extension line: Simeria-Hermannstadt (Sibiu)-Karonstadt (Brasov), started in 1846 and opened to traffic within a year.

East-north extension: Simeria-Karlsburg (Alba Iulia)-Turda-Crossenburg (Cluj-Napoca) started construction in 1846 and opened to traffic within one year;

Before Turda, along the Mauresh River, the Targu Mures-Regin line was built, which started in 1846 and opened to traffic within a year.

Zagreb-Ljubljana-Trieste, these are the main lines of the Empire, we will cooperate with the Empire.

Zagreb-Karlovic-Fium is also an important branch line in the southern part of the empire, and it will also cooperate with the planning of the empire. If the planning is too late, we plan to start construction in 1843 and open to traffic within two years.

“Building so many railways?” The old military **** looked bewildered.

Carl immediately gave him a psychedelic pill:

“Uncle, if you want to be rich, build a railway; if you want to be strong, you need a steel factory. Now, our Austrian Empire is a little lacking in both wealth and strength, so we must build roads.”

Another reassurance pill:

“The steel plant in Smederevo can easily cover these railway needs, and the railway in the due east has iron ore, and a new steel plant can be built to cover the demand in the direction of Transylvania, which is our Austrian Empire. territory.”

In 1867, the reorganization of the Austrian Empire into the Austro-Hungarian Empire was forced by circumstances. But the emperor put Transylvania under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Hungary, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Austria.

For the elder brother Franz Joseph, Karl didn’t understand his rude operation. It is estimated that the eldest brother has no chance to do so this time. Carl has used three railway lines to clamp Transylvania.

The hand holding the pliers is Austria, Karl himself.

“Little Carl, I look at your data. The workload increased in the next few years, and it was similar before that?”

“Uncle, one is that we have to explore, and the other is that I will only show you a part of southern Hungary. Our idea is the Galicia region in the north of the empire and the Lviv region in the west. If there is a railway demand, we will all go for it. .”

Karl’s plan was that after 1848, the team would develop markets along the Black Sea and the Mediterranean coast, and even Turkey, who had railway needs in the area on the north coast of the Black Sea, would also bid for the team.

As for the South Bank, it is the territory of the United Kingdom and France, and it is estimated that there is nothing to do with Austria.

The reason why Karl is doing this is that he calculates that in the Ukraine region, the railway will be built with standard gauge.

As for Russia’s basic disk, it is up to them to use the wide gauge.

To tell the truth, Russia adopts a wide gauge, and ordinary people can’t stop it, unless someone reborn Russia as a tsar.

One is their technical decision of being stupid and thick, because they are stupid and thick, so they have high requirements for load-bearing, and wide gauges came into being; the second is their conscious decision to cut themselves off from the mainstream in Europe.

Of course, the fundamental reason is that Russia has a vast territory and a large number of people, which is comparable to the sum of Europe outside Russia, so the big Russian brown bear is also eligible to set another set of standards.

“Little Karl, regarding the locomotive factory, Southern Hungary gives us complete control. You only have two factories, while Northern Italy is not entirely in our hands, but you have to arrange five. Why is this?”

“Uncle, there are more establishments in northern Italy. First of all, it is to attract talents from different regions and curb the local Italian power; also, I am also afraid of being blamed by others, so it can be considered as a spread of risks; third, I have to let them Create your own competition.”

When Carl and the old War God were parking and resting, they looked at the Sava River and the dense forests on both sides. They talked about this topic. Carl then said something, making the old old War God’s head unable to stop at all.

“In the future, South Hungary and North Italy, the Grand Duchy of Austria, and the Kingdom of Bohemia will be able to influence South Germany, such as Baden, Württemberg, Saxony, and Bavaria.”

When Old Carl found this little thing, he still had further ideas. He admired it very much, and said:

“anything else?”

“Austria unifies the locomotive standards of South Germany, and it can take over South Germany and unify the locomotive standards of the entire German region, including Prussia and Austria.”

“With this standard, you can unite the Netherlands, the Austrian Netherlands (Belgium), Denmark, Sweden, and the old Spain, etc., and the French standard has to follow. Isn’t it?”

“Uncle wise!”

Carl gave an innocuous flattery.

“And then Britain!”

The old military **** had a complacent look, which meant, boy, as soon as your tail was up, I knew what **** you were going to do.

Little Carl smiled and didn’t answer him. Old Carl thought he was right, but in fact, it was completely wrong.

Then there is Britain, UU reading www.uukanshu. com is good, but the routine is completely opposite to that of the previous ones. Instead of letting Britain follow, it is better to fool Britain into forming its own system, thereby isolating it.

But not now. It will take at least 20 years for the entire European industry to form an advantage over Britain. It is only a quantitative advantage. If it is a qualitative advantage, it is estimated that it will take forty or fifty years.

Later generations will be Britain’s own system, a semi-self-contained system.

Length: feet, inches, miles; weight: pounds, ton; volume: pints; area: acres, square miles; reagent volume: measuring drops; temperature: Fahrenheit.

There are many factors for Brexit, but this is also one of the important reasons. These things increase the cost of communication between the UK and the rest of Europe and reduce the efficiency.

The close relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom is not only related to the cultural, linguistic, but also the consistency of these industrial systems.

Of course, the United States is more powerful, and the two systems run in parallel.

Of course, China is also very powerful: there are two sets of calendars, lunar and solar calendars, and two sets of characters, traditional and simplified.
