The flames of war in South Africa raised great concerns for the London Government. They once believed that Austria and the French had made a secret deal to strike at the German Federation Empire.
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur. Austria did not take any action, otherwise, they would have faced a new threat.
Although Austria in the Mediterranean is formidable, it does not pose a threat to Britannia. Once Germany Region unifies, the situation in the Atlantic Ocean would change, narrowing the distance between the two powers.
Of course, this threat is relative. Franz was also concerned about the threat from the British, given that the Royal Navy is the strongest of its time.
Since nothing happened, it made Prime Minister Benjamin even more perplexed. He could not see what the Austrians wanted to do.
