"What's going on!"

This time Sir Franklin was even more agitated than the young officer, and grabbed him by the collar.

"My lord. You listen to me. It's normal for one or two bad cans of eight thousand cans."

The custodian is still quibbling, but how can there be a can in this world that stinks after less than a month of delivery, unless the beef itself is bad.

Later, the expedition team opened the other cans and found that almost all of them were bad, and the canned fruit on the side was even more outrageous, not only did it not peel it, but there were even insect corpses inside.

Then the people who were about to risk their lives to go on an expedition to the North Pole expressed strong "dissatisfaction" with the storekeeper and his colleagues.

By the time Royal Navy guards arrived, the storekeeper had been beaten to pig's heads.

Later, after interrogation, it was revealed that the salesperson of the cannery had bribed the custodian and made it shoddy. Sir Franklin could no longer trust Duke and his London canneries.

So Alina got the deal, but she couldn't help but be a little worried. After all, Sir Franklin was 59 years old at this time, but the latter responded to the former with the characteristic humor of an English gentleman.

"Miss, I'm not yet sixty! Good luck to me! If we return safely, we will never forget the help you and your cans have given us. ”

However, only two months after Sir Franklin's voyage, his expedition lost contact with London

History has varied as to why Sir Franklin failed, but it is certain that most of them died of lead poisoning and scurvy.

And there are many theories as to why the crew would rather eat their compatriots than canned food in the cabin.

One of the factions believed that many of the cans were too bad to be eaten before they were sent to the ship, so the crew chose to find their own food.

Due to the development of canning and compression technology in Austria, these 8,000 cans still make some small money, after all, the mainstream of this era relies on manual canning and sealing costs, which will be several times to dozens of times higher.

However, this level of funding is almost impossible to see in Franz's account. But then again, there are really not many people who buy canned food in peacetime, so it can't be said that they have done something worthless.

Of course, whether the canned food of the Austrian Empire can become an instant hit in Britain depends on whether Sir Franklin and his expedition can come back alive, after all, they are the best billboards.

In fact, Austrian canned food has a price advantage, but it cannot stand the high tariffs charged by the British, which greatly offsets its competitiveness.

Later, Alina was given a new task, which was to sell canned food from the Austrian Empire to the world. Although it sounds lofty, he is actually a high-level salesman.

Still, this kind of talk was very useful to the ears of the nineteenth century, and she felt that she was taken seriously and began to work harder.

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Some news from the other side of the world frustrated Franz that the Americans were buying piglets from the Qing Dynasty and planning to build a Pacific Railroad.

After all, the Americans have found their way to the Pacific Ocean through the cracks, and they are working hard for their destiny.

However, this also means that in the future, the United States will be more mobilized and war with the California colonies will be inevitable.

After all, there are British in the north of Oregon, Russians in the northwest, and the Austrian colony across the mountain.

The Americans could not do nothing if they wanted to gain a foothold, and their worst enemy was none other than Austria.

This was mainly due to the fact that the number of Russians and the British was so small that the combined number of colonists in both countries probably did not exceed 2,000.

California in Austria is home to hundreds of thousands of Germans alone, not to mention the indigenous and imported Mesoamerican population, as well as the rapidly increasing number of Japanese laborers.

In fact, the reason why Franz used Japanese laborers instead of Qing laborers. The main reason is that the latter is too strong in combat.

Although the Japanese have a tradition of the following kami, it only exists in the samurai class.

On the other hand, since the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the Qin Dynasty, the idea of "princes and generals, rather have a kind" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Let's not talk about the clan and the party in the south, but only talk about the northerners who everyone thinks are weaker and more tame.

The latter undertook almost all the large-scale uprisings in the early and middle Qing Dynasty, such as the general uprising of Laoguanzhaijiao; the revolt of Wang Lun of the Qingshui Sect; The Li Wencheng and Lin Qing uprisings of the Tianli Sect and the Sichuan Chu White Lotus Rebellion.

Even in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, there were twisted armies in the north, as well as the Wenxian Rebellion and the White Lotus Rebellion in Northwest Lu.

Later, the Boxer Rebellion caused chaos in the world, with the evaluation of a famous invader in later generations.

"The Chinese masses have infinite vigor, and no country in Europe, the United States, or Japan has such brainpower and military strength to rule over a quarter of the living beings in the world!"

The assessment of the enemy is often unusually pertinent, and Franz has no doubt about this.

When someone mentions a fighting nation, Russia always comes to mind, and when a powder keg comes to mind, the Balkans come to mind. The Qing people were insensitive and easy to rule.

But the reality is that according to the records of the Qing Dynasty, from the Opium War to the fall of the Qing Dynasty on February 12, 1912, more than 5,000 uprisings broke out.

Among them, more than 2,000 uprisings broke out between 1856 and 1865, and many of the records of the Qing Dynasty itself are good, and it is almost impossible to add fuel to the vinegar and falsification.

In the 24 years of known as the most turbulent period in Japanese history, from the attack of the Black Ships in 1853 to the end of the Southwest War on September 24, 1877, there were fewer than 50 large-scale civil unrest.

In contrast, is the fighting spirit of the Chinese much stronger?

Therefore, if Franz wants to save the dog's life, it is better not to touch the Chinese workers, after all, Austria itself is a powder keg.

Franz was fighting a civil war on his side, and suddenly there was a sentence in the backyard, "Princes and generals, rather have a kind of", then he really couldn't stand it.

At the same time, the Japanese are relatively easy to rule and assimilate, both traditionally, in terms of mode of thinking, and in terms of national character.

To put it simply, Japanese civilians didn't even have names at that time, and the stickiness of the village community was not strong.

Mainly because of Japan's mountainous and multi-island environment, coupled with the fact that it is located in the volcanic earthquake zone, as well as the blessing of various natural disasters such as typhoons and tsunamis, human life is not guaranteed at all, so they do not have too much attachment to the inheritance of bloodline.

On the contrary, these people are both cold and fanatical, extremely cruel to the weak and extremely flattering to the strong.

In ancient times, Japan was not a blood-based society, but was divided by region and class, which led to the fact that Japanese people were "model students" wherever they went, because these people would go out of their way to integrate into the local society.

Like the Japanese Americans who fought for the U.S. military in World War II, they even did not hesitate to exchange the lives of their compatriots for military merit.

As for the spirit of hardship and hard work, this belongs to the common people of East Asia, although Franz hates Koreans very much, but those people are really able to endure hardship.

Even those Korean entertainment stars who are often ridiculed, although their personalities may be very distorted, their serious and hard-working attitude is worthy of recognition.
