After driving Ferdinand away, Franz called his staff to discuss the necessity of forming an alliance with East Africa, but to be cautious, he decided to first discuss it with the Austrian government.
"Why should we form an alliance with an African country? Do we want to be laughed at by other countries on the European continent? To be honest, even forming an alliance with infidels from the Middle East sounds better than joining hands with an African country, Egypt being the exception, of course," said the Prime Minister of the Austrian government.
