In truth, the Kingdom of Patagonia's pace of development had somewhat exceeded Franz's expectations. He had intended to send those fence-sitters and the Jews who wanted to control the German Confederation to Patagonia, that bitterly cold land, to curb their growth.
Yet this unexpected expedition had greatly improved the Kingdom of Patagonia's natural conditions and enhanced its potential for development.
Franz did not know what to say about it. Perhaps this was fate. Since they had acquired these lands, Franz did not mind giving them another helping hand.
The Austrian Empire would only provide them with the basic necessities for survival, but with the Argentine Confederation's assistance this time, they had gained an opportunity to develop.
However, as a place of exile painstakingly selected by Franz, Patagonia's ceiling for development had long since been locked in place.
At the very least, they would have no chance to turn things around before the twentieth century. And after a hundred years, these Jews would likely have grown accustomed to local life.
Patagonia lacked the foundations for industrial development, but it was well suited to livestock raising and mining. If not for the Argentine Confederation's material aid, these Jews would probably have had to catch fish for a very long time just to fill their stomachs.
Over the next century, the Kingdom of Patagonia's principal industries would be livestock raising, mining, and fishing.
On the other hand, the Jews' military forces had to be disbanded, and Franz also intended to deal severely with those prison guards who had neglected their duties. This had nothing to do with victory or defeat in the war.
The prison guards' task was to watch over prisoners, not to open up new territory.
Franz understood full well that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
