In fact, a considerable number of American students still want to return to the United States for military reform, because they see the gap and feel that the US military must change in order to keep up with the trend of the times.

However, what these people don't know is that most of their careers have been broken, and even if they return to the U.S. Army, it will be difficult to reuse them.

Of course, this is not only because of Franz's obstruction and James Polk's suspicion, but also because the US Army at this time is a place of seniority.

In short, if you want to get ahead, you must first have seniority. This group of people going abroad to study will obviously cause a serious lack of seniority, and naturally they will not have a chance with senior officials.

In fact, in addition to this group of American students, Belleit and Ulrich Salis, two students from the Swiss Orthodox League, were also worried, and the longer they stayed in Austria, the more embarrassed they felt that their country's army would be useless.

In fact, the Austrian Imperial Military gave similar evaluations, they found these students embarrassed and useless, and did not think that these people had the potential to become excellent commanders.

But what these arrogant old Austrian professors did not know was that in the future the Austrian Empire would fall into a general shortage.

Historically, after the retirement of the old generals of the Napoleonic era, the Austrian Empire quickly withered military talents, and in the later period, even some military band officers could be used as generals.

This kind of behavior of chasing ducks on the shelves can only suffer one defeat after another.

In Franz's plan, if these people are really useless, they can be sent back to the United States, at least to help the Yugoslav army last a while.

In fact, most of the American students recruited by Franz were generals of the Southern Army. So this is also a double insurance, even if the Austrian Empire can't use it, it can be put back to disgust the American Northern Army.

Some people rejoice and some people worry, on the island of Great Britain at this time.

Robert Peelchou, who was in Whitehall, had gray hair, letters of help from India and rhetoric used by all sides to shirk responsibility.

In fact, Britain at this time was still facing many challenges, and Russia, as an old rival in the struggle for world hegemony, would not talk much about it, mainly because it would be talked about often in the future, and at this time Russia was in the swamp of the Chechen war, and the two could be described as difficult brothers.

However, the most immediate problem is the hegemony of the Near East, the Russians have always been eyeing the Ottoman Empire, and the British cannot let the polar bears out to sea.

In addition, Britain's colonial hegemony was also challenged, and at this time, France was expanding frantically in the Americas and Asia, supporting its own power everywhere, and there was a tendency to regain hegemony in North America.

France was the country with the most direct conflicts with Britain in the colonies, from Central America, West Africa, and Oceania.

to the sabre-rattling of the Viceroyalty of La Plata and the frenzied expansion of North America, and even the direct purchase of the Serombo colony in the British Indian colony, the acquisition of Vietnam, the involvement in the affairs of the Far East, and the assumption of Spanish colonial affairs.

Against this veteran opponent, Robert Peale already has a headache. In the future, if France succeeds in uniting Spain, the French Empire will return to the world.

Britain will face an even greater challenge by then, but in the end, the French will have to blame themselves for their comeback.

After all, the Treaty of Vienna had all but bound France, but Britain acquiesced to France's expansion in order to weaken the influence of the Holy Alliance, and at the same time struck at Austria's power.

As a result, France is now ungoverned and the Austrian Empire is frantically consolidating its influence in its own circles.

At this time, the French were frantically building warships with the intention of restoring the glory of the colonial empire. For the foreseeable future, Britain and France will compete for colonization around the world.

This refers to vassals and enslaved kingdoms, or staking lands, although the great powers of this era still did not have the ability to penetrate far inland.

What annoys Robert Peel the most is that Britain's economic hegemony has also been challenged, but it is more about economic hegemony than technological hegemony.

Due to the advancement of technology, the Austrian Empire was already ahead of Britain in some areas, and began to export goods to Britain in reverse.

This made the British economy even worse, although it was known as the world's factory and the number one power at this time, its industrial capacity was somewhat surplus compared to its market.

An economic crisis, yes, an economic crisis, has been an economic crisis almost every ten years in British history.

In fact, this is mainly due to the liberalism pursued by the United Kingdom, which often leads to excessive concentration of capital, which not only causes a waste of resources, but also greatly increases the risk of a financial crisis.

As a result, the profits of some goods and industries in the UK have skyrocketed or plummeted in a short period of time, causing economic turmoil throughout the country.

Second, the UK has a limited market of its own and is heavily dependent on external markets. Franz had always been very shy about a head-on conflict with the British, but the latter saw the former as a major threat.

The British capitalists demanded that the Austrian Empire be punished, and the easiest way to deal with it was to blockade the Adriatic Sea.

This is not difficult for the British Navy to do, but now they are pulling too long a front, and wars and big events around the world involve their energy.

Especially in the war between Uruguay and Brazil in South America, if Britain can take the opportunity to control Brazil, then it can turn South America into its own backyard.

At that time, Britain will be able to create another India from the Western Hemisphere, and two "Indias" will be enough to bring the British Empire to the top of the world.

At the same time, it will also truly make up for the regret of losing the North American colonies back then.

Both the sending of troops to southern Albania and the ceding of Pacific access to the United States were aimed at weakening Austria's competitiveness abroad.

But both of these attempts apparently failed, and instead of doing anything, they put themselves in the quagmire of Albania and gave the United States another life.

The British capitalists at this time demanded that Robert Peel take a more direct and effective approach to their interests.

The Prime Minister knew what that meant, but India was in jeopardy at this time, and the group was still blaming each other and fighting for power.

Now Robert Peel doesn't care about the idiots who can only see the immediate benefits, he doesn't care about anything else, he just wants to keep Britain's foundation on the South Asian subcontinent.

As a result, Robert Peel issued twelve orders in succession, ordering all the armies and regions that could support India to defend the most brilliant pearl of the British Empire at all costs.

In this era, in this world, only the British could send more than two hundred thousand troops from the sea "in a short time" (relatively).

Robert Peele's behavior may seem crazy, but he has a point. At this time, India was almost in the pockets of the British, and its contribution to the UK was not only raw materials, but also a relatively broad market.

At the same time, the Indian subcontinent is also a springboard for Britain to pass through the Far East, and it is no exaggeration to say that if India is lost, Britain will sooner or later become a second-rate country.

In order not to gamble on the future of the United Kingdom, Robert Peel had no choice but to gamble on himself.

With Britain's national strength at this time, India will definitely be able to keep it.

But deployments such as the war in South America, the policy of containing Russia, the weakening of Austria's plans, and the slowing down of French colonization may have to yield to the war to defend India.

It is not yet known what impact this six-month cycle will have on the future of the world.
