Chapter 1369 Stockpiling

However, these Japanese people forgot one thing. Their Asian face was too conspicuous, and the result was that they were arrested and obtained by their personal stolen stolen.

Of course, because the other party was a diplomatic ambassador, the Austrian Empire could not make too harsh punishments, but it confiscated the stolen goods and left it to send it to the country to send it back to China.

In fact, similar situations have appeared in Arabs and Indians, and even Arabs and Indians are more outrageous than Japanese.

For example, when you urinate on the street, you can grab the food at the banquet with your hands, and even a group of Indian businessmen to do the situation of being destroyed by the accompanying guards at the students of the Royal College.

In short, the national science and technology security is the responsibility of the Minister of Science and Technology, and the Duke of Vanic's speeches are straightforward.

"Then let them pay for it. So don't worry about them learning technology."

Franz also kicked the ball directly to the opponent.

"His Majesty, there is a lot of money to do so. Japan and Shima are too far away from us. Although the price is cheap, it is completely a waste after it offsets the high freight.

Although the price of copper on the market has been rising, the price of copper is completely within the scope of our acceptance.

If His Majesty really thinks it is necessary to hoard a large amount of copper, then there are copper mines in my country, and we can fully increase mining. "

Earl Franz Kurlan said that if it was not proposed by the emperor himself, Earl Couram was too lazy to answer this question.

However, Franz has many predictive actions to help the Austrian Empire through the difficulties, especially the foresight of the previous hoarding of food to admire Earl Couram.

Coupled with the propaganda of the church and the government, Earl Kuron really dared not to deny Franz's strategy casually.

"Earl Kurlan, you are right. But the export volume of trade between us and the Far East is much greater than the import volume. What about it? "

"But the journey is too far away from us."

Franz interrupted Earl Curland's words.

"So we can first send copper to California and Tanzania, and then return to China when needed."

Earl Kurang saw Frank's attitude and resolutely did not continue to argue, because he really did not dare to discuss future things.

"Earl Kurlan, the times are developing, and our domestic copper mines are too small. No matter how much they invest in manpower and material resources, it is impossible to catch up with the United Kingdom.

And the cost of our copper ore is too low, and the more inputs, the greater the waste.

If the demand for copper will explode in the future, my country will be quite passive in the future. That's why we need to plan early.

It is definitely not enough to rely on the small country on the other end of the earth. We also need to send an exploration team to explore in the colonies.

If copper mines can be found in the colony, we can further reduce costs.

In addition, I believe that there must be copper mines that will not be proven in China, which will be our strategic resource. "

"Your Majesty, I think there is an unlikely omissions in our country's land."

The Minister of the Internal Affairs Said Jostani Battistea said very certainly. Earl Jostani was a very competent internal minister who organized a large -scale land and resources inspection activity at the beginning of his office.

As a workaholic, Count Jovani is very confident in his work, but this self -confidence is also easy to bring blind paranoia.

"Count Javani, the times are progressing. And you can't guarantee that officials across the country are as careful as you."

Franz still respects this kind of workaholic, but Count Jovani obviously did not notice the so -called steps.

"Your Majesty, but I just checked it last year. Continue to check this year, isn't that waste money?"

"You can not do a comprehensive investigation, but only review in key areas."

"Where is the key area?"

Earl Jostani asked stubbornly, but Franz didn't care.

"I think experts from our country should be clearer than us."

Franz thought about it again.

"If you really have no goal, find it in Bohemia, and there are near Belgeler."

No one dares to have opinions on Franz's command, and no one will doubt. After all, the channels that emperors can get information are far from comparable to them.

Prince Schwarz Berg saw Franz's heart decisive. In order to prevent Count Jovani from continuing to ask for his own discussion, Prince Schwarz Berg said loudly.

"His Majesty!"

Franz is naturally impossible to fully aware of the mineral location of the Austrian Empire, but Bohemia is a complete resource in the heavy industry center of the later Austro -Hungarian Empire.

On the other hand, Franz, the name of Serbia Borbol Copper Mine, has heard of it. After all, it is the largest copper mine in Yugoslavia during the Cold War.

This time Franz's minimum requirement is to find out the Bor copper mine near the village of Bor. Bor Copper Mine is the rare rich mine in Europe.

The copper mines in the Austrian Empire, the German region, and the Italian region are very low. Among them, the copper mines of the Austrian Empire are not only low in quality and deep burial, but also multi -breed accompaniment mines are not ordinary difficulties.

In fact, the three most lacking resources in the German region during World War II were petroleum, copper, and rubber. Among them, oil and rubber could also be synthesized by manual synthesis.

As for copper, there is absolutely no way. The Germans melted down all the bronze statues, but they still couldn't keep up with the consumption.

As the most important metal in the Second Industrial Revolution, the Austrian Empire cannot do without copper. In fact, the real copper reserve countries are Chile, Australia, and Russia.

However, the problem is that the Russian copper mines have not been explored at this time, Chile is too far away and is watched by Britain and the United States. As for Australia, it has the disadvantages of both, and it is also extremely short of manpower.

Moreover, it is certain that it will be blocked to a certain extent in the future war, and it will not be as comfortable as before.

In fact, if Britain is determined to break the war, the naval power of the Austrian Empire cannot stop it anyway.

It's just that the Austrian Empire is not very dependent on overseas materials at this time, and the British have seriously misjudged the strength of the Austrian Empire Navy, so that they were beaten dizzy in the early stage.

Due to the heavy losses in the early stage, and the fact that Franz had already buried the time bombs and detonated them all, the British were trapped inside and outside, resulting in a shortage of troops, which made the Austrian Empire live so comfortably.

In fact, if Britain only wanted to make trouble instead of a decisive battle, the Austrian Empire Navy would not be able to handle it at all.

But then again, if the British dispersed their navy everywhere, the Austrian Navy could completely adopt a strategy of defeating them one by one. After all, the Austrian Navy was in a completely advantageous position in small-scale battles, and it might even learn from the Dutch to launch a decapitation operation.

(Historically, on June 19, 1667, the Dutch Navy attacked London and the British Royal Navy dared not leave the port.)

In short, it is better to rely on oneself than on others. If the Austrian Empire can produce domestically, it will definitely be the safest. Even if it cannot, Franz hopes to stockpile enough to cope with the war.
