"It's a problem, but it's not a problem." Franz replied.

"Why isn't it a problem? Not only the language, but also the skin color and appearance are different, even if you learn Arabic, it is difficult to imitate their pronunciation, and it is easy to be discovered. ”

"First of all, we can train the Egyptians, or we can directly pay the Egyptians to hire them to guard their own theft, but of course it's not a good idea because the risks and uncertainties are too great." Franz said.

"Hire Egyptians? This is indeed a good idea, but the uncertainty is too great for you to say, if they betray us and stab us in the back when we attack, it will bury the entire Austrian navy! Friedrich said with concern.

"Don't worry, we don't speak Arabic like the Egyptians. But we can pretend to be French, and it's very easy to find dozens, if not hundreds, of French speakers in Austria. ”

As soon as Franz reminded him, Friedrich reacted immediately.

"That's right! Even if our French pronunciation is inaccurate, those Egyptians can't see it! ”

"And we can send people to observe and learn from the words and deeds of the French in the open, and if we want to, we can be more French than the French in the eyes of the Egyptians." Franz laughed.

Friedrich also laughed, although Franz's idea was very bad, but he liked it very much, if you can fight a battle to your own advantage, others take the blame, it is simply not too enjoyable.

At this time, Adjani happened to come back with double skin milk, and when she saw the two talking and laughing, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and it was really two children.

Talia, on the other hand, was disdainful of Franz and Friedrich's methods, and her ideal war would be a group of brightly dressed knights, launching a neat charge, returning from battle with a rose in their mouth

However, the war described by Franz and Friedrich was so dirty that they even studied what to throw into each other's wells in order to pollute as much water as possible and weaken the enemy's will to resist.

"Archduke Franz, Archduke Friedrich, come and taste it, I made it with my own hands." Adjani said.

In fact, in this era, chefs generally forbade women to cook in the kitchen, because it was considered an offense to the chef himself.

However, Adjani herself belongs to the kind of woman who is more attractive, so the chef welcomes her.

Secondly, desserts were not considered a dish during this period.

The prevailing view in this era is that women can cook, but they don't know how to cook.

So Friedrich showed a skeptical attitude towards the food in front of him.

Franz didn't care very much, he just picked up a bowl and tasted it, it tasted good, it's just how this woman likes to add butter.

But I have to admit that Adjani is much better than Franz's semi-finished products.

"Very nice! Your dessert is sure to be complimented by Mr. Frazier. ”

Fraser is a bohemian and the head chef of the royal family, responsible for the royal feasts and daily meals. Bohemia has produced many famous chefs in history, so the Czech chef in Austria is the best chef by default.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Fraser has already complimented me." Adjani replied.

"Does Fraser still have more than two hundred pounds?" Friedrich asked.

"No, he's almost two hundred and fifty pounds now." Franz replied.

Friedrich and Franz both laughed, and Friedrich picked up a bowl of double-skinned milk and said.

"I've got to try a dessert to-day, to be complimented by that big fat man at Fraser."

In fact, Friedrich still looks skeptical, and the stereotype of an era is difficult to change, until he eats it, soft and mellow, with clear layers and moderate sweetness, which is really evocative.

Friedrich let out a sigh of relief, looked at Franz and then at Adjani, and a strange thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Yes, it's delicious, thank you for your hospitality."

Adjani returned the salute, and Talia watched with a blank eye, Adjani walked up to Taria, took out a bowl from the mezzanine of her skirt, and whispered in Taria's ear.

"This is for you."

"Thank you." Talia looked very excited.

"Let's talk about your trip to Mexico." Franz said.

Northeast Mexico, Port of Tampico.

Most of the supplies have been transferred to Mexico City, and the rest is mainly weapons.

Tasan Anna feared that the arrival of these weapons in Mexico City would lead to a new rebellion, after all, he had gone to war with the South with his main forces.

If someone had stolen rebellion in Mexico City at this time, the civil war in Mexico would have been endless.

There are more factions in Mexico than the Americans imagined, otherwise they would not have put all their bets on José Epra, including Gabriel, who has always been an ally of Tasan Anna, and has the reason and strength to oppose Tasan Anna.

At this time, Mexico was almost a no-man's land in the north, and the three largest states of California, New Mexico, and Texas (which had been sold to France) together had a population of less than 100,000 people.

Mining is developed in the central part of the country, while in the south it is dependent on plantations, especially sugar cane and tobacco.

Although the Spaniards had been driven out, Mexico's royalists were strong, and Tasan Anna was a republican.

In fact, the royalists value birth the most, and Tasan Anna's background is obviously not noble enough, plus he is a baguette, and the most admired thing in his life is Napoleon, so he always feels that he can also be like Napoleon, first consul, and then emperor.

As a result, a strange phenomenon has emerged in Mexico, where the royalists in the south want democracy, while the republicans in the north pursue authoritarianism.

Every attack deployed by Tasan Anna before could be detected by the opponent in advance, which is simply impossible.

There is no doubt that there are moles around him.

After receiving supplies and weapons from Austria, Tasan Anna simply led a large army to forcibly attack the fortress of Cerrogador.

The rebels in the south themselves had a huge gap in strength with Tasan Anna's army, and under the onslaught of government forces, the leaders of many factions in the rebel army chose to protect their lives and submitted surrenders to Tasan Anna, or left the fortress of Cerrogodor with their troops.

Naturally, Epra's troops were left alone, so he had no choice but to abandon the fortress and withdraw to the south, using the vast plains of the south to fight guerrilla warfare against Tasan Anna.

However, Tasan Anna did not intend to give him this opportunity, and he directly ordered his troops to plunder the belongings of the rebels' families in the south, burn the farmland, and hunt down the rebels.

In order to completely extinguish the fighting spirit of the rebels, Tasan Anna directly ordered the soldiers to grab food, leaving only winter rations for each family, and those who did not want to starve to death could go with him to the north to open up the wasteland.

Tasan Anna was clever enough to suppress the rebels and settle for the real side, but he inadvertently offended many people.

At the same time, due to a fire by Tasan Anna, the unexpected increase in the price of sugar in Europe saved Franz's pancreas in a sense.
