Chapter 1477 Manifest Destiny
In fact, the development speed of the Kingdom of Patagonia was somewhat beyond Franz's expectations. He wanted to send those Jews who wanted to control the German Confederation and those who were fence-sitters to the bitter and cold land of Patagonia to restrict their development.

However, this unexpected expedition greatly improved the natural conditions of the Kingdom of Patagonia and enhanced its potential for development.

Franz didn't know what to say about this. Perhaps this was God's will. Since they had acquired these lands, Franz didn't mind giving them a hand.

The Austrian Empire would only provide them with basic supplies for survival, but this time with the help of the Argentine Federation, they had the opportunity to develop.

However, as the place of exile carefully selected by Franz, Patagonia's development ceiling had long been capped.

At least before the 20th century they had no chance to turn things around, and a hundred years later these Jews probably had become accustomed to local life.

Patagonia lacks the foundation for industrial development, but is very suitable for animal husbandry and mining. If it were not for the material support from the Argentine Federation, these Jews would probably have to fish for a long time to fill their stomachs.

For the next hundred years, the main industries of the Kingdom of Patagonia would be animal husbandry, mining, and fishing.

On the other hand, the Jewish military forces must be disbanded, and Franz must severely punish the jailers who failed to do their job. This has nothing to do with the victory or defeat of the war.

The job of the jailers is to keep an eye on the prisoners, not to expand territory.

Franz knew very well that power comes from the barrel of a gun, and he would never hand over the gun to the Jews.

Either you farm and herd sheep honestly, or you engage in mining and fishing. Want military and political power? No way!
Although Patagonia is more than 13,000 kilometers away from Vienna, Franz can reach out to it.

Although the Jewish armed forces in Patagonia were the hegemon in South America at that time, it would not be an understatement to say that they were just chickens and dogs on the European continent.

The compensation materials and construction aid provided by the Argentine Federation would be processed in the Austrian Empire and then sent to Patagonia.

At the same time, the Austrian Empire will send an army of 15,000 people to take over this place.

Franz never thought of compromising or giving in from the very beginning. After all, once a tradition is formed, it cannot be easily changed, so it must be nipped in the bud.

Franz would not be soft on his opponents, and sometimes tougher measures could reduce casualties. After all, these people had just left the Confederacy, and Franz's influence was still there.

Moreover, the reason for the Jews' Northern Expedition was to seize land in the name of Franz. Now that Franz asked them to hand over the land to the country, they naturally had no reason to refute.

In addition, the supplies that Franz had previously extorted from the Argentine Federation on their behalf were enough to win over people's hearts and would inevitably divide and disintegrate a part of the people.

After all, most people still yearn for a stable and peaceful life, and surviving in a harsh and cold place like Patagonia is the primary goal.

Once survival becomes a person's primary goal, most people will choose to give up thinking and follow their instincts, ignoring the future and focusing only on the present.

On the other hand, in Buenos Aires, when Felipe Arana returned home, he began to complain and told Rosas about his experiences in the Austrian Empire in an exaggerated way.

But Felipe Arana would not say how miserable he was. He would only say that it was the Austrian Empire that was targeting Argentina and Rosas.

"Mr. President, I even heard in Vienna that the Austrians want to bring Argentina back to Spain, so they keep calling you the Governor of La Plata."

This move really touched Rosas's lungs, as he was afraid that someone would shake his presidency.

"Damn it! These damn dictators! They just can't stand our freedom! Felipe, what do you think we should do now?" Felipe Arana was waiting for Rosas to ask him, and he walked up to Rosas' ear and said.

"Mr. President, we can ask for help from other powers."

To be honest, Rosas had tried this path a long time ago, but the cost was too high. Britain demanded that Argentina recognize the autonomy of five provinces including Corrientes and Entre Rios, open up democratic elections, and withdraw the charges against Urquiza.

In addition to establishing free trade ports, lowering tariffs, and forced borrowing, the British are not satisfied with controlling the Falkland Islands.

In 1833, the British army expelled Argentine officials and soldiers stationed in the Falkland Islands and actually controlled the Falkland Islands. However, Argentina has never formally acknowledged the abandonment of its sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.

To Rosas himself, these British demands were far more excessive than those of the Austrians.

As for France, he once really wanted to become a Frenchman, and for a long time he regarded himself as the Napoleon of South America. However, with the fall of the July Monarchy, the French regime changed several times in a short period of time, and suffered a series of defeats in foreign wars.

Rosas also completely gave up the idea of ​​becoming French.
Rosas shook his head, but Felipe Arana spoke calmly.

"Mr. President, I'm not talking about Britain or France, I'm talking about the United States!"

"USA?"

"Don't forget the Monroe Doctrine. America is America for us Americans!"

Felipe Arana spoke excitedly, but Rosas was skeptical about this. After all, what happened in New Granada was still fresh in their minds, and the Americans didn't even dare to fart.

"The Yankees? They won't do anything?"

"This time it's different! The United States wants to seize Cuba, and they just need an excuse to go to war."

United States Washington.

Narciso Lopez's telegram reached Congress, and this time the power of the Southern congressmen finally overwhelmed the North. After all, Don Paoli's letter was simply a request to join the Southern slave states.

But forget about full autonomy. If it really becomes a country within a country, what is the US government trying to achieve? The US government is not a charity.

Although the debate within Congress had reached a temporary result, no one could make up their mind about declaring war on the Austrian Empire.

Just when everyone's attention was on President Zachary Taylor, the current president had actually died of stomach disease a few weeks ago.

At this critical juncture, many people had to suspect that it was a murder. After all, it was unbelievable that someone died of stomach disease within a few days.

In fact, acute gastroenteritis can indeed take a life in a few days, but when suspicion begins, the crime has already been established.

Millard Fillmore was sworn in as the 13th President of the United States amid controversy, and he was very depressed about it, after all, he really hadn't done anything.

Although there have been some disagreements with Zachary Taylor recently, it has not reached the point where he would use physical means to eliminate the other party.

Millard Fillmore just thought it was God's will. After all, America has its own destiny, and everything that stands in its way will be destroyed.
