Chapter 209 Bleeding the British

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Franz dragged the drunken Adjani to the bathroom.

Franz tested the water temperature in the bathtub and found it was just right. He looked at the unconscious Adjani and couldn't help but sigh, "Is this all I can do to get drunk by a group of kids?"

Franz lifted Adjani up and was about to put her in the bathtub when he saw Adjani looking at him with a smile.

"If you don't take off your clothes, they will get wet." Adjani's smile was very clean and her eyes were very smart. She didn't look drunk at all.

Franz realized that he had been fooled. How could an old goblin who had been in dances and drinking parties for many years be drunk by a group of kids?

"Then why have you been pretending for so long?"

"There's no way. Your friends are too mean. If you don't let them have fun, they might do something bad. Later on the way, I saw that you were quite devoted, so I'll act with you for a while."

Franz threw Ajani into the bathtub.

"Take a good shower. You smell of alcohol." Franz said and turned away.

"Franz!"

Franz looked back and saw Ajani raising her eyebrows.

"Wash together?"

"No." Franz went out and closed the door.

"Then can you help me break an aloe vera?"

"There's one on the windowsill, do it yourself."

Franz sat at the table and opened the newspaper, and saw a piece of news.

Englishman Sir John Keane led his army to conquer Afghanistan, and Dost Mohammed fled Kabul and went to Bukhara. His son Akbar Mohammed led his troops to continue fighting the British.

The British helped Shuja Shah, a loser who had lost his throne for thirty years, to regain the throne. They naturally thought that the Afghans would recognize Shuja Shah's orthodox status.

Little did they know that Dost had already eliminated all of Shuja Shah's supporters, and he was now a lonely man. Although the British helped him become the king of Afghanistan, they were unwilling to give him real power.

There are still a large number of tribes loyal to Dost Mohammed in Afghanistan, and Akbar Khan Mohammed is a famous god of war and military commander in Afghan history.

Historically, the British were defeated by Akbar Khan, but the hero who defeated the British did not live to inherit the throne of Afghanistan, but was poisoned to death because of his father's suspicion.

As for Dost Mohammed, who was praised by the Western historical community, Franz really didn't think he had any outstanding qualities. If cruelty is considered an advantage, this is one.

Franz wondered if the situation in Central Asia would be more interesting if a heroic commander became the king of Afghanistan.

Russians, British, Khiva Khanate, Bukhara Khanate, Afghanistan, Persia, I believe that in this way, the Russians would not be one-sided.

The British could not take advantage of the war to make money, because they had to be on guard against the threat of Akbar Khan at all times.

You should know that the Hindu Kush Mountains between Afghanistan and India are also known as the "Mountains that Killed India".

It is said that Genghis Khan's cavalry entered the pass from here, killing people in India. Not only Genghis Khan, but all the rulers who conquered India in history, except the British, entered India through the Hindu Kush Mountains.

Moreover, if Afghanistan, which has a poor land, wants to become a powerful country, the fertile land of the South Asian subcontinent is indispensable.

Franz really wants to know how much blood the British can shed in Afghanistan, and whether Akbar Khan can create a miracle to counterattack the Indian subcontinent?

Franz wrote a letter and prepared to ask someone to give it to someone around Akbar Khan at an appropriate time.

That's right, not to Akbar Khan himself, because this guy seems to be a filial son. He has had countless opportunities to become king in his life, but he still tries every means to rescue his cruel father.

In the end, Akbar Khan was poisoned to death by Dost, and a large part of it was due to his blind loyalty. But the people around Akbar Khan are not as docile as him.

After all, those who instigated and followed Akbar Khan in history thought that he would become king sooner or later. If these people knew that Akbar Khan would be murdered by Dost, the Afghan tribal leaders who knew Dost's cruelty would definitely try their best to kill the tyrant first.

As for whether the letter is true or false, and who wrote it, it is not important to the Afghans.

At this time, Ajani came out with her hair loose. She was wearing a loose bathrobe, and there was a slit on her chest that flickered with her steps.

"Franz, is the newspaper so good-looking?" Ajani said, shaking her undried hair.

Franz did not answer her, but just talked to himself.

Ajani could not hear clearly, so she could only move closer and stroke her long hair that was limp beside her ears.

"When did you learn the naked choke?" Although Franz was sure that Ajani would win in the end, he did not expect that she used a lot of messy techniques.

In fact, Ajani's physical fitness is very strong. She can do 50 push-ups and 50 squats in one breath. How could those maids who were powerless be her opponents?

Some people think that strangling the neck is a naked choke, but it is not. Different positions can be divided into blood choke and air choke. Moreover, the key point of the naked choke is not only to strangle the opponent's neck, but also to press the opponent's head with the other hand to be a real naked choke.

"Look at you beating those children, didn't you explain it to them while beating them?" Adjani said.

"Did you just learn the piggyback throw and the arch bridge throw?" Franz asked.

Adjani nodded.

"You are really humiliating yourself." Franz sighed.

"Recruit a group of geologists and an expedition team when you are free."

"Where is the destination? You know, the terrain of each continent is different, and the types of scholars and explorers are also different. If the compatibility does not match, it is easy to get half the result with twice the result." Adjani said.

Franz knew what Adjani said was right, so he said.

"Africa, Namibia."

"You seem to be very interested in Africa, but as far as I know, the most profitable place in Africa is" Adjani hesitated to speak. It seemed that she was planning to let Franz speak for himself.

"Slave trade, right?" Franz said.

Adjani nodded.

"We're not in that kind of business," Franz said.

"But there is a problem. We need enough manpower to develop a colony. Currently there are only more than 600 Austrians in Namibia. It would be difficult to complete the construction of the colony just by relying on them alone." Adjani said.

"You are right, that's why I want to send an expedition team to investigate. As long as important resources can be found, someone will be willing to take the risk to go there." Franz said.

"Then why can't we learn from the British?" Adjani asked.

"You mean to capture some homeless people and orphans and send them there?"

Adjani nodded noncommittally.

"We are not pirates after all, but you reminded me that if there are desperate homeless people, we can hire a group to send them there, so that the construction of the colony can indeed speed up."
