January 1, 1846. Vienna, Hofburg Palace. Prince Metternich looked very excited after seeing off the British envoy, as if he had returned to decades ago.

Metternich was still a little apprehensive when he learned that the British Foreign Secretary had just been replaced by Palmerston, but as soon as the former took office, he sent an envoy to release him to the Austrian Empire

"Goodwill", which greatly touched the latter. But this is the so-called

"Goodwill" is too much in Franz's eyes

"Dry". The wedge nailed by the British to Albania was not pulled, and the Mediterranean Fleet was even expanded.

Others, such as the withdrawal of troops from southern Brazil, were simply the result of a rebellion on the Indian subcontinent that had led to the dispersion of the British forces and forced them to consider a general contraction.

Then came the official recognition by the British of the Austrian Empire's occupation of Western Bosnia and Montenegro. That's right!

It is only the recognition of the occupation, and it is even more excessive that this does not include Belgrade. In fact, from 1839 to the present day, after being manually screened by Franz, the people of Western Bosnian have long ceased to regard themselves as subjects of the Ottoman Empire.

In fact, the brainwashed West Bosnians felt that they were never Ottomans, but Austrian subjects trapped in the Ottoman Empire.

Moreover, in 1845 both Western Bosnia and Belgrade were connected to the Great Inliria Line, and now even if some people were tempted into rebellion, Austrian troops could arrive in a day to suppress it.

So the British admitted it completely painlessly, and then moved the matter to the newspapers and gave it to Metternich as a meeting gift.

In addition, if we do not withdraw our troops from southern Brazil, I am afraid that Uruguay and the Viceroyalty of La Plata will also have problems.

After all, both Rosas and Layingra, who was fostered by the British, are typical

"Virtuous and benevolent". Under their rule, there was already a boiling of popular resentment, coupled with the continuous conquest of the population and a large number of deaths.

If the fight continues, I am afraid that it will be a mess. The Brazilian resistance and the mercenaries of Ambrera were the reason why the losses of the British Triple Alliance were so great, but the more important reason was the harsh local climate.

What is now the south of Brazil is not considered a treacherous place, but at that time it was untouched by forests, rivers, swamps, mountains, poisonous insects, wild animals, and various tropical diseases.

More than 80 per cent of the casualties among soldiers on both sides were caused by the natural environment, and a significant number of the remaining were killed

"The Law of the Dark Forest". Whether within the Triple Alliance, between Brazilian militias and government forces, or among Ambrera employees, they are accustomed to this kind of scuffle.

This kind of war of attrition is simply a disaster for the great powers, and if such casualties were to be put to future generations, I am afraid that Robert Peele's cabinet would have fallen long ago.

However, the so-called human rights in this era are still in the mouth, not to mention that the control of information at this time is in the hands of the government.

One can only know what Robert Peel wants them to know, and as for the casualty figures of such a special military operation, only the top can know.

In any case, with the war in India at this time, it is not wise to waste troops in the jungles and swamps of southern Brazil.

This was not good news for the Austrian Empire, after all, if the war continued, not only would Britain be weakened, but Franz would also be able to earn some extra money, and by the way, he would be able to train a group of soldiers who were skilled in guerrilla warfare.

Pedro II was also very dissatisfied with the British approach, after all, he said that he would fight, and if he said that he would embargo, he would embargo, and now he didn't want to fight and come to be friends and ask for MFN treatment.

However, the Brazilian Empire at this time was not qualified to negotiate with the British, so it accepted almost all of the latter's demands.

In the end, Pedro II had to reluctantly pose for a photo with the British ambassador, and as an avid photographer, this photo was the only work he tore up.

Historically, Pedro II was very fond of photography, and collected many photographs in his lifetime, making him the largest collector of photographic art in South America at that time.

In 1839, the French invented the first camera. In 1840, the French ambassador brought a daguerreotype camera, and Pedro II, who was only 14 years old at the time, fell in love with this new technology.

He then spent a lot of money on a full set of equipment and became the first monarch in the world to use a camera.

Later, the Brazilian officials did what they liked, scouring the world for Pedro II with photographic equipment and experts.

It wasn't until Franz gave Pedro II a converted camera from the Austrian Empire that he threw away all the garbage he had collected.

After all, the gap between French and Austrian goods is very different, let alone a veteran photography fan like Pedro II, even a fool can see the difference between the two.

This is also an important reason why Pedro II fell to the Austrian Empire, after all, hobbies can influence a person's judgment to a considerable extent.

At the same time, it is also a foil for peers, after all, Britain and France are quite unhuman in terms of not being people, not only in the trade between the two sides, but also to support the forces close to themselves.

Although it may not be replaced, it is certainly a thought of turning Brazil into its own puppet.

However, both Pedro II and the Brazilian Empire had a dream of great power. The dream of a great power continues to influence Brazilians to this day.

Brazil is a vast country, with a population that is unrivaled in South America, and rich in resources.

No matter how you look at it, Pedro II will not be willing to be a puppet, so the British and French approach disgusted him very much.

It's just because of its limited strength, so it can only choose to be virtual and wrong. When Austria, a country that clearly had no intentions for Brazil and could not do anything, appeared, Pedro II immediately changed his position.

Brazil needs the market to turn resources into wealth in order to drive domestic industrialization reforms and become one of the world's great powers.

At first, Franz was also moved by this rhetoric, and he was eager to see the future of the Brazilian Empire. After all, Austria and the Brazilian empires are far apart, and the biggest headache for the rise of the latter is Britain and the United States.

However, Brazilians are not only salted fish but also fond of infighting, and the repeated wars, coupled with bureaucratic corruption and local resistance, have led to extremely slow progress in industrialization.

Franz the conscience of heaven and earth definitely did not sell the Brazilian Imperial Monkey version of the equipment, although the update speed is not as fast as that of the European continent, but the materials and craftsmanship used are absolutely no different from their own country.

Unfortunately, these machines arrived in Brazil just like people

"Adaptable", the machine often has problems inexplicably, and even parts disappear out of thin air.

The parts produced in Brazil could not match the size or strength of the Austrian machines. The result is a repeat of the same place

"Explosion", that's right! Steam engines explode!
