Holy Roman Empire

Poland is not a planned economy. Under the free capital economic system, enterprises completely obey the government's executive orders, and the outcome is naturally self-evident.

As the Polish government manages machinery, interest groups have gradually emerged over time, and corporate losses have become increasingly serious.

Dragged down by corporate losses, the Polish government's finances are also in trouble, and this hole is still expanding day by day.

The following people fabricated a bunch of data, and under the guise of an industrial powerhouse, deceived funds by falsely reporting projects.Such a trick fooled the Polish government, which had no experience in governing, but could not fool the cunning and cunning William I.

Lies have been exposed, problems have been exposed, and reform is imperative.The vested interests who were unwilling to fail naturally fought back, and the internal political struggle in Poland became severe.

There is no way, the annexation of Poland by the Kingdom of Prussia is not an overnight problem, and now the Polish government still has an independent government team.

For the sake of political balance, William I promoted the cronies in charge of the Kingdom of Poland, and they must also be Polish.

The circle of choice has been greatly reduced, and compromises have to be made in many cases. The direct consequence is that the reformers and conservatives are in a daze.

From the monarch's point of view, this kind of struggle is in the interests of the king and can protect his own detached status.

For the country, this level of political struggle has interfered with the normal operation of the government and affected the development of the country.

The contradiction is not only a little bit, after the sale of the Rhineland region, the Berlin government is working hard to immigrate there.Not all of these immigrants were settled in Prussia, but a large part of them were settled in the Kingdom of Poland.

This move did promote ethnic integration, but it created a series of troubles.For example: the competition for jobs, the Polish natives are not as good as these immigrants.

It was late at night, and the Berlin Palace was still brightly lit, and William I continued to drag his exhausted body to handle government affairs.

Not only did the king not get off work, but the top officials of the Berlin government also appeared in the palace.

Foreign Secretary Jeffrey Friedman: "Your Majesty, now that the situation is ripe, the eyes of all European countries are drawn to Jerusalem, and it is time for us to push for the merger of the two countries."

It has not been a day or two since the Kingdom of Prussia wanted to annex Poland.The preparation work has been done for many years, and now it is time to close the network.

William I's face was unmoved, showing a calm expression. If anyone pays attention, they will find that his brow is very happy, but he conceals it very well.

Prime Minister Mao Qi supported: "Your Majesty, now is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When Franz was crowned King of Jerusalem, most of the high-level Vienna government was in the Middle East, and the Austrians did not have the energy to interfere with the merger of Pope.

We have given up on the Rhineland region, and all countries are prepared for the merger of the Pope and Poland, and even if there is some resistance, it will not be too strong.

Except for the Russians, it is estimated that no one will object vigorously. "

Abandoning the Rhineland has advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage is that the Berlin government is freed from the threat of France, and now don't worry about the French anymore.

After a while of silence, William I slowly said: "The merger of Pubo is imperative, but we must do one more thing before we do it again.

The immigration work in the Rhineland region is not going well, and it will be handed over to the German Federal Empire soon, and it will be difficult for us to recruit people at that time.

After the merger of Pubo, the first problem to be faced is the ethnic conflict.We have historical experience in this regard, and we can follow the example of the Austrians.

If the main ethnic group can occupy an absolute advantage, then the promotion of ethnic integration in the future will also become more smooth. "

The assimilation of Poles was a great feat of the Kingdom of Prussia. At least 300 million Poles were assimilated, which is a classic case of European national integration.

These successful experiences have undoubtedly enhanced the confidence of the Berlin government.If there is no successful case, Dabobo is so active, who dares to attack them?

Prime Minister Mao Qi bit the bullet and explained: "Your Majesty, the immigration work is progressing slowly, and the main problem is resettlement. It is easy to relocate a large number of people, but it is difficult to provide corresponding jobs."

This is a real problem. If all the resettlement can be done, the Berlin government has already ordered the local people to evacuate.

Obviously this is impossible. Millions of jobs cannot be created in a day or two.Since the immigration work has been carried out so far, the Berlin government has resettled more than [-] people, which is already a remarkable achievement.

Chapter 162 Making a Living

Time flies, and on April 1875, 4, Franz was crowned King of Jerusalem amid cheers, turning a new page in history.

Just after the coronation ceremony, Franz received bad news that his uncle Ferdinand I was critically ill.

God didn't care for him, even in the Holy Land, he still couldn't suppress the disease.

Ferdinand I's illness has been around for a long time, and it is a miracle in itself to be able to persist until now. If you want to "cure", let alone now, even 100 years later, the medical profession will be powerless.

After visiting the delirious uncle, Franz sighed.Birth, old age, illness and death are the most helpless. Uncle Yuan Shikong also passed away this year, and the butterfly effect did not change the outcome.

People are ruthless without plants and trees. Ferdinand I had no children, and he treated Franz as his own son since he was a child, which can even be called doting.

Although Ferdinand I would be confused from time to time, this did not damage the relationship between the two.In those days, Franz used his uncle's name to fool people, and forging edicts was even more commonplace.

Now that I think about it carefully, I haven't worn the gang so many times. I'm afraid my uncle also took the initiative to take a lot of blame for him.

……

The emperor is destined to be lonely, and just as Franz was feeling, a message interrupted his sentimentality.

"Is the news confirmed?"

It's not that Franz is rare and strange, but the content is so surprising that it has exceeded Franz's imagination.

Prime Minister Felix replied affirmatively: "It has been confirmed. The Ottoman Empire is indeed guiding refugees to the Persian border, and the external explanation is for scattered resettlement.

By the way, the Ottoman Empire was still enlisting soldiers. Among the refugees, they were young and strong aged 16 to 50, and all of them were recruited. It is said that it was to suppress the rebellion.

The London embassy also confirmed that the British had provided a loan to the Ottoman Empire not long ago, and it was designated that it must be used to suppress the rebellion.

The rebels of the Ottoman Empire are all rabble, and they are scattered and fighting each other, and they are not opponents of the government army at all.

The Ottoman Empire's increase in conscription is probably trying to launch a war against Persia and divert domestic conflicts. "

Ottoman Empire attacking Persia?Franz shook his head, he always felt unreliable.Just got beaten up, and immediately jumped out to do something, isn't it tired of living?

Don't think that the Ottoman Empire is stronger than Persia, but they can't stand their enemies.Whether it is Austria or Russia, as long as they pull their hind legs, they will lose all their achievements.

What if the war is not won?Instead of risking a war, it is better to fight a civil war at home. When the population is almost exhausted, the domestic conflicts will be resolved.

"This conclusion may not be correct. Now the top priority of the Ottoman Empire is the refugee crisis and suppression of rebellions. What is the benefit for them to attack Persia?

Unless the al-Shabaab is a bunch of fools, they should know that the current Ottoman Empire cannot withstand the war, and even if they win Persia, the refugee crisis will not be solved. "

There is no problem in using war to transfer contradictions. The Ottoman Empire and Persia are also deeply enmity, and there is no pressure to attack Persia.

The problem is that Persia is not a rich master. It is almost impossible to grab enough food from Persia to survive the crisis.

Foreign Secretary Weisenberg: "Your Majesty, there may be a British man behind this. We have extended our power into the Middle East, and the British will definitely take action.

From the standpoint of the London government, to ensure that India is safe, it is best to keep Persia in its hands and divide the sphere of influence with us in the Mesopotamia.

However, more than a decade ago, the British invasion of Persia ended in failure, and the London government should still have lingering fears.They are likely to attract the attention of the Ottomans, creating opportunities for another invasion of Persia.

The problem of the Ottoman Empire is neither small nor big, but it is nothing more than a question of money and food.If Britain is willing to pay for it, it will still be able to weather the crisis for them. "

The money needed by the Ottoman Empire is an astronomical amount, but this "astronomical amount" is also relative.

It is "astronomical" for ordinary countries, but it is also a huge sum of money for the British, and it will be squeezed out.

A food deficit of 500 million tons sounds extraordinary.But these grains are not a one-time need, but a food gap in the next year or two.

If all the cheapest potato flour is purchased, it will actually be tens of millions of Aegis.The Ottomans are not qualified to be picky eaters.

The only problem is that the repayment ability of the Ottoman Empire is worrying, and the risk of lending money to such a precarious country is simply too high.

"Refugees", "Borders"...

Franz had a flash of inspiration and instantly understood.

"Sending people to watch the number of refugees scattered by the Ottomans on the border, I suspect al-Shabaab is trying to get the refugees into Persia for food.

The number of refugees in the Ottoman Empire has exceeded the limit of this country, and it is impossible to get all relief.

To replace anyone in power must make a choice, if nothing else, the Ottoman Empire will soon expel the domestic minorities.

For the sake of security, the guards at the border were ordered to strengthen their guard and prohibit any illegal immigration from entering.Especially the Dardanelles, don't let people smuggle it. "

In Franz's view, the Ottomans were a dangerous move, and they were completely dead and alive.If the plan slips in the slightest, the country will explode.

Even if Franz was replaced, he would still choose to gamble.If you gamble, there is still a chance of life. If you don't gamble, you will die.

The government has no money and cannot help so many refugees. This is a real problem, and it will not be transferred by personal will.

At a time like this, one can't listen to the rhetoric of the gunmen, and it is in vain that they can't produce food.Borrowing foreign debts is easier said than done, but capitalists are not stupid, and it is impossible to spend money to waste.

It is cruel to let refugees go abroad to make a living, but it is also a hope of life. At least some of the lucky ones can survive, it is better than all staying and waiting to die.

Perhaps the refugees will not only hit Persia, but also the Russian Empire and Austria.

However, Franz is not very worried. The area bordering Austria and the Ottoman Empire is either a vast sea, or an endless desert, and a small number of oases are also agricultural fallow areas, and it is normal operation for hundreds of miles.

……

In Ankara, after a political struggle, the new Sultan Abdul Hamid II has been born.

Over time, the refugee crisis has also continued to climax.Although Midhart rightly rejected the British insidious proposal, he was very honest in his actions.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, a large number of refugees were diverted to the border areas in groups.How is it enough to hit Persia with light?

Persia is also an agricultural country with limited productivity and cannot afford to support so many refugees.Midhart, who has a bottom line, still wants to let more people survive.

Therefore, the other two neighbors were also the destination of this famine escape, and Midhart also specially arranged for people to mix in with the refugees, preparing to lead this famine escape movement.

In order to avoid international conflict, in name, this operation is a spontaneous movement of the people to flee the famine, and has nothing to do with the Ottoman government.

Abdul Hamid II asked with concern: "Are you ready, Prime Minister?"

Sitting in this position, I realized that Sudan was not easy.Abdul Hamid II didn't want to be thrown out of power and then killed.

Now he has to rely on Al-Shabaab to solve the refugee crisis at home.By contrast, none of the ongoing civil wars were as important.

The first limitation of the national uprising army is the word "nation", and this congenital condition limits the development and growth of the uprising army.

The number of ethnic minorities is limited, and the ethnic uprising army only operates in its own ethnic area. If you change places, there is no mass base, and it is difficult to recruit troops.

Against this background, the refugee crisis is particularly dazzling.The Ottoman Empire has serious national conflicts. If you want everyone to unite, only when you want to survive.

Refugees just broke this restriction. Once the government stops providing relief, rebellion is almost inevitable in order to survive.Millions of people rebelled, and Allah could not save the Ottoman Empire.

Midhat nodded: "The preparations are almost done. If the plan goes smoothly, it is estimated that more than 200 million people will leave and go to Persia, Russia, and Austria to make a living. By then, the domestic food crisis will be solved."

……

Chapter 163 Refugee Tide

Since May, the Ottoman government has subconsciously reduced the relief food, and the bread originally mixed with leaves and sand cannot be guaranteed now.

Stomachs can't deceive people, and dissatisfaction is running high among refugees.The news of the shortage of food spread like wildfire in the camp, and all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky, and people panicked for a while.

In a refugee camp on the Persian border, Akyol, who had just received food for a day, walked out dissatisfied.

A fist-sized potato was all his food for the day.Not to mention adults, even five or six-year-old children don't have enough to eat.

Oh, there are no young children in the refugee camp, the youngest is half a teenage boy.In the years of fleeing the famine, the youngest children and the elderly were the first to die.

The Ottoman Empire was originally poor, and it has always been the luxury of most people to eat enough.After becoming a refugee, let alone.

After getting the food, Akyol left immediately with a few friends and relatives.The camp is also not safe. If you don't stick together, you may become the food of others.

Human nature is not worth mentioning at all in the face of hunger.Along the way, Akyol has seen too many scenes of changing children and eating, and now he can't completely trust anyone.

A companion asked worriedly: "Akyol, you have a lot of knowledge. Now the food is getting less and less, what should we do next?"

They are considered to be the bottom line among refugees. Even if they are starving, they have not learned about cannibalism.

Of course, this bottom line is limited to now, and if it continues, no one can guarantee whether they will be assimilated.

Akyol replied bitterly: "Everything that can be found in the surrounding area has been eaten up by everyone. The rear army has blocked the road and prohibited anyone from passing through.

Do not want to starve now, and can only venture across the border to seek a living on the land of the Persians.I am afraid that the domestic officials and gentlemen think the same way, they want us all to die. "

The situation has deteriorated to this point, and the former Sudanese government bears the main responsibility.Because the government failed to control the refugees in time and provide effective relief, more refugees were created.

Otherwise, there would not be so many war refugees made by the Russians alone.

After the initial war refugees were produced, the Ottoman government did not provide timely relief.There are more and more refugees, and they can no longer fill their stomachs by begging. Many people have given up their moral bottom line and started to rob the food of the people along the way.

Once Pandora's Box is opened, it can't be put away again.The people who were robbed of their food by the refugees became new refugees, and the cycle began again and again.

After the war, the Ottoman government began to deal with the refugee issue, by which time the situation was out of control.

In troubled times, the Ottoman government used brutal measures to suppress the refugees, and only managed to establish order.

It was too late, and the refugee crisis became a national crisis.Due to the inaction of the previous Ottoman government, many of the refugees hated the government very much.

Akyoel is a craftsman, and he lives in the city. He barely knows a few words. He has some knowledge and a little understanding of the current situation.

The Ottoman al-Shabab is well packaged and has a good reputation in the country. Many people have high hopes, and Akyol is no exception.

I thought that after the al-Shabaab came to power, they would arrange for everyone to return to their hometowns to resume production, but they were deported to the border in the name of scattered resettlement.

Seeing that the food distributed is decreasing day by day, the government has not given an explanation. Akyol has gradually become desperate for the government.
