Holy Roman Empire

Lieutenant General Shen Dierke ignored it and was already playing with a pair of walnuts in his hand.After a while, he asked lightly, "Do you still remember how our ancestors established the Ottoman Empire?"

Everyone was dumbfounded. How the Ottoman Empire was established is clearly recorded in the history books.Although a lot of beautification, but the general situation is still recorded.

However, this question does not seem to have anything to do with the current situation.After a short pause, Shen Dierk was not angry when he saw that no one answered.

The quality of the officers of the Ottoman Empire these days is appalling. There are very few truly capable officers. Because of the Near East War, many of them have been blamed and held accountable—retired, and most of the rest are related households. .

Shen Dierke, an officer with a prominent background and ability, has always been rare.

The bad things in the officialdom are actually more serious in the army.Not doing well, doing more is more wrong, the same applies here.

As long as you want to do things seriously, you must be prepared to be criticized. In this harsh environment, most people think first and foremost is to protect themselves.

Shen Dierk became notorious so quickly, and it was actually the work of his competitors. Otherwise, how would the outside world know that he led the expulsion of refugees?

In the face of the cruel reality, Shen Dierke did not expect his subordinates to be so shrewd and capable, as long as he could complete the tasks he assigned as required, that would be enough.

"The strong eat the weak, are you familiar with this term?"

"You must have heard of how the ancestors survived the natural disaster back then.

In the final analysis, there is only one thing-reducing the food, whether it is to launch a war externally or to carry out internal cleaning, it is essentially to reduce the food.

There are so many refugees outside now, and we can't save them even if we try to help them.In this case, the oldest method is to use the law of the weak. "

Everyone's expressions changed drastically, as if they had experienced a tit-for-tat enlightenment, they suddenly came to their senses, and they all started flattering.

Angrily Shen Dierke slapped the table, and the words have come to this point, but no one has answered.Obviously, everyone is a smart person, unwilling to take responsibility, and want to protect themselves.

"Enough! Go on the order and tell the refugees that we are short of food, and in accordance with the ancient tradition of our ancestors, only the strong can survive.

Only when you get five heads can you get the qualification to survive.You can submit them in batches, send someone to register, and allow them to use any means outside the barracks. "

Shen Dierk is too lazy to pay attention to everyone, afraid of what kind of climate will he take responsibility for?You must know that today is different from the past, and now the Ottoman al-Shabab is in power.

Idealism is the most terrible, they can sacrifice everything in order to achieve their goals.You can even give up your own life, let alone a bunch of refugees?

Notorious, it may be a disaster in other countries, but it is nothing in the Ottoman Empire.In the eyes of the rulers, such notorious generals were more reliable.

There are so many refugees outside, and the Ottoman government does not have enough food relief. For domestic stability, they must be kept out of the country.

In this context, letting refugees kill each other is undoubtedly the best choice.Don't look at Shen Dilk saying that if you get five heads, you can get the qualification to survive. The survival rate seems to be one in six.

In fact, once refugees kill each other, it is very difficult to stop.In the end, not to mention one-sixth, I am afraid that even one-tenth or one-twentieth will not survive.

Can these people really survive?Stop dreaming.Those who survived with five heads were all ruthless. If these guys who had grievances against the Ottoman Empire survived, it is estimated that no one would be able to sleep.

Shendierke has already made preparations for a breach of contract, and it is not a breach of contract.Killing is against the law, and it was no exception in the Ottoman Empire.

This kind of existence that kills several people in a row is a repeat offense anywhere, and it is not too much to directly execute it.

It might be ruthless, but in Shen Dierke's view, he is cleaning up hidden dangers for the empire.If you don't do this, let these refugees flood into the Ottoman Empire, and the whole country will be ruined.

In the face of cruel reality, there is no such thing as right and wrong.In this cruel era, everyone is struggling to survive.

Being kind and soft-hearted, it is impossible to survive in this age of the weak.

……

After a long period of fleeing, the nerves of the refugees have actually been on the verge of collapse, and many have even collapsed.

The arrival of Shen Dirk's order undoubtedly ignited the last madness.I don't know who is taking the lead, the refugee camp is completely messed up.

Except for a few sensible people, who took the opportunity to flee to the edge, most of them frantically launched attacks on the people around them, as if they wanted to take the opponent's head in exchange for their own chance of survival.

Hell on earth, nothing more than this.

……

In the Vienna Palace, looking at the information in his hand, Franz was also stunned by the Ottomans' rioting.Instead of scolding the Ottoman government with outside newspapers, he rationally analyzed the gains and losses.

I have to admit that the Ottoman Empire has been able to thrive for so many years, but it still has a unique way of survival.

At least in terms of ruthlessness, European countries are far behind.They are not only ruthless to the enemy, but even more ruthless to their own people.

Even the Russian army who invaded the Ottoman Empire in the Near East War was afraid of international public opinion and did not dare to play like this, but the Ottoman government dared.

Don't look at Shen Dirk being scolded miserably. In Franz's view, he was pushed out to take the blame, and the Ottoman government in Ankara is really qualified to make a decision.

Prime Minister Felix: "We still underestimate the Ottoman Empire, just because of its cruelty, it should not be underestimated.

I propose to step up the suppression of the Ottoman Empire, take this opportunity to send troops to intervene, support the independence of the Armenians, and leave no chance for the Ottoman Empire to rise. "

He was stunned and afraid of being horizontal, and he was afraid of dying.

This sentence also applies to the country. When encountering a deadly country, everyone will feel a headache.The current Ottoman Empire has a bit of a lifeless meaning.

The prestige established by the Ottoman Empire for hundreds of years is not so easy to dissipate.The ruthlessness that is flowing out now makes Prime Minister Felix think back to the past and can't help but raise his vigilance.

Franz shook his head: "The ruthlessness of the Ottoman Empire cannot be underestimated, but after this battle, it is impossible for them to revive.

Now is the industrial age, and population is the most valuable asset.How many people still exist in the Ottoman Empire, and how many young laborers are there?

It took decades for the Ottoman Empire to develop.This is only a theoretical figure, and does not take into account domestic ethnic and religious issues at all.

Supporting Armenian independence now seems to have weakened the Ottoman Empire, but it actually helped the Sudanese government a lot.A piece of land was reduced, and national conflicts in the country were eased.

Instead, it is better to secretly support the Armenian independence movement and let them consume the strength of the Ottoman Empire internally.

By the way, strengthen the confidence of Britain and France, and let them put some of their vigorous energy into the huge pit of the Ottoman Empire, so as not to stare at us every day. "

It's not that Franz despises the Ottoman Empire, but the actual data tells him that the Ottoman Empire has lost the possibility of rising.

It is unknown whether the current Ottoman Empire still has a population of 1000 million, which also includes a large number of ethnic minorities. After the civil war is over, the population will further decrease.

To industrialize, the Ottoman Empire not only had to solve the problem of labor shortage, but also considered domestic religious problems.

By the time they have solved these problems, time has passed.Before these fundamental problems were resolved, even with the support of Britain and France, they could at most build an army that seemed to be quite effective on the face of it.

There are too many cases in the original time and space to prove that if a country wants to be strong, it must be strong in all directions.Just training a new army doesn't really do much.

Chapter 168 Struggle...

The eyes of all Europe are focused on the West Asian continent, with the exception of the Prussian government.There is no way, I haven't dealt with a bunch of bad things in my own family, where can I get the energy to care about the bad things in other people's homes.

Even if the Ottoman Empire was a potential ally of the Kingdom of Prussia, it was of no use.Britain and France dared to help the Ottoman Empire, but the Prussian government never dared to intervene.

From the standpoint of the Kingdom of Prussia, a strong Ottoman Empire is in their interests, but once they support the Ottoman Empire, they will offend Austria.

This multiple choice question is well done.Britain and France are strong, not afraid of Austria's retaliation, and a knife in the back will also be stabbed.

The Kingdom of Prussia will not do. The threat of the Russians has made them restless, and it is obviously an unwise choice to provoke Austria.

Now the international public opinion is very interesting, and everyone is very unified, so the Persian government and the Ottoman government will be scolded together, and the two will share the firepower and become notorious together.

But international politics is different, and it is directly divided into two factions.Britain and France supported the Ottoman Empire, and Austria and Russia supported the Persian government.

All in all, this time it was the Ottoman government that did something unethical, and Persia was actually a victim in addition to being a little over-the-top.

Most of the small countries in Europe are more sympathetic to Persia, but this is of no use. It involves a game of great powers. Small countries simply do not dare to express their opinions indiscriminately. Their own wishes are not important at this time.

In this context, an international investigation team was formed, and both sides were trying to win over the Kingdom of Prussia. As long as they were willing to stand in line, they could almost make a final decision.

But the shrewd William I made the most correct choice - neutrality.There is no way, the same is "pulling", and at different times, there are different performances.

It seems that Britain, France and Austria are all vying to win over the Kingdom of Prussia, but in fact they are unwilling to bid.

Without enough benefits, the Kingdom of Prussia will naturally not jump out of the team.William I was very clear that the struggle between Britain, France and Austria was actually limited, and it was not at the level of life and death.

Don't look at this crisis in West Asia. The two sides seem to be in a deadlock. In essence, they are fighting in the international investigation team. The existence of the Three-Power Alliance is the best proof.

It is really boring to stand in line when the three major countries "fight but not break".No one asked to stand in line, so they took the initiative to send it to the door. Isn't it asking for trouble?

……

In the Berlin Palace, William I's face was gloomy and terrifying, as if everyone owed tens of millions of marks. Obviously, there were too many troubles recently.

Foreign Secretary Geoffrey Friedman reported: "Your Majesty, the Germans are urging again, here is a diplomatic note from them." (German Federal Reich: Germany)

William I: "Isn't there still more than half a year? Tell the Germans that we will hand over within the specified time limit.

Prime Minister, immigration in the Rhineland must be accelerated.There is also the need to mobilize as many companies as possible to relocate. The current relocation work is progressing too slowly. "

The two countries signed a land transaction contract, and the Rhineland area already belongs to the German Federal Empire, but this large-scale territorial transaction is definitely not completed in one or two days.

柏林政府要撤走的机构、人员很多，所以双方交接期限是一年，从1875年6月15日~1876年6月15日。

Now it is time for the handover of the Rhineland region, but the Kingdom of Prussia has not had time to complete the evacuation, and naturally refused to hand over.

From the standpoint of the German Federal Empire, of course, the earlier the handover, the better.Although the deal is endorsed by European countries, don't worry about the Prussians going back.

But now Prussia is working hard to control the Rhineland, and these assets can theoretically belong to the German Federal Empire.If the handover is completed one day earlier, the German Federal Empire can recover a lot of losses.

Being criticized by the king for "slow relocation work", Prime Minister Mao Qi also wanted to cry without tears.It's not that the government doesn't work hard, but it's really troublesome for immigrants to relocate.

This is not just about bringing people back, but also the most basic resettlement, to find them a job that can support their families.

Otherwise, even if they return to Prussia, they will leave again.

The Kingdom of Prussia does not prohibit population movement. These years, the offices of immigration to Austria are located in all major cities in the entire German region. As long as the follow-up fees are paid for.

Special skill talents are also given a field trip opportunity.If you are not satisfied, you can refuse immigration, and the cost of the round trip will also be reimbursed. This service is absolutely in place.

Faced with such a formidable competitor, how could the Berlin government not work hard?Although the local living conditions are better, the people must also have jobs and be able to support themselves!

It's not that the Berlin government has not cracked down on immigrants who rob people. It's just that the immigration window on the surface has been closed, and the immigration window in the dark still exists.

Not to mention now, even in the 21st century, various underground immigration channels exist.As long as there are interests, it cannot be truly banned.

It is even more difficult to encourage capitalists to relocate. It has always been a profitable business that everyone is rushing to do, and a loss-making business that no one cares about.

The Rhineland region is rich in coal and iron resources, has developed transportation, and various industrial supporting facilities are readily available. Moving back to Prussia is not necessarily the case.

The land that has been fully developed, the local local snakes have long risen, and now they can only run into blood when they step in.

In the undeveloped regions of Poland and Lithuania, various supporting facilities are not perfect, the transportation needs to be improved urgently, and the distribution of resources is not understood by everyone. The most important thing is market changes.

When in the Rhineland, in addition to local sales, a large part of the industrial and commercial products of the capitalists were exported to neighboring countries such as Austria, France, Belgium, and the German Confederation.

After the relocation, affected by the transportation, these traditional markets have to say goodbye to them.Maybe in the future Poland and Lithuania will develop, and the local market will be very good, but the capitalists can't wait.

The reality is not a joke on the Internet. The so-called cultivation market is a cup of "poisonous chicken soup" for the vast majority of capitalists.

The first thing to do before cultivating a market is to survive.If you can't survive by yourself, no matter how big the future market is, what does it have to do with you?

When it comes to self-interest, capitalists are smart people.No amount of preferential policies promised by the Berlin government can change the risks posed by the relocation.

Mao Qi: "Your Majesty, the government has done its best for immigration work. We resettle [-] immigrants every month, which is already very fast.

For many immigrant families, we have only solved the employment of a labor force. In order for the people to survive, the government has to issue an additional subsidy.

Domestic enterprises have long been overcrowded. In order to solve the problem of immigrant employment, we have to increase investment in public infrastructure and artificially create jobs.

Schools, hospitals, railways, highways, urban renovation, water conservancy projects... Almost all basic industries that consume a lot of labor, we are investing on a large scale. "

This is a fact. The execution power shown by the Berlin government has shocked the world. It has completed the resettlement of nearly one million people in a short period of time, which can be regarded as a world record.

This is different from Austria's control of East Prussia in the past. Austrian Africa is large enough, and when it is scattered everywhere, there are thousands of people in each city below.

If there are not enough jobs, it is possible to directly arrange for farming and mining. The so-called resettlement pressure does not exist at all.

Mao Qiti did not mention the issue of capitalist relocation.This is really no way, high risk should correspond to high profit, but this industry relocation has only risk.

Poland and Lithuania are not without resources, at least in the early stage of the Industrial Revolution, they are still enough. The problem is that you have to build the road first!

On the map, there are many rivers in Poland, and most of them are navigable. It seems that shipping is developed.

In fact, the difference of a millimeter on the map can be dozens or hundreds of kilometers away in reality.It seems that the distance is not far, but for the vast majority of enterprises, it is already very fatal.

The Berlin government is working hard to build roads, and maybe in the near future, these problems will disappear.But capitalists will not choose to share weal and woe with the country, they can only share wealth.

Chapter 169

Entering the industrial age, the Berlin government has recognized the importance of population, especially a labor force with a certain level of knowledge.

The Kingdom of Prussia is the first country in the world to complete compulsory education, and the Rhineland region is the most industrially developed region of the Kingdom of Prussia, where a large number of basic talents are gathered.

These talents are exactly what the Kingdom of Prussia needs most right now.In the initial stage of industrial development, the demand for high-skilled talents is not large, but the demand for ordinary skilled workers is the largest.

After the outbreak of the second industrial revolution, Austria was able to overtake Britain and France, not because of how advanced Austria's technology is, nor how much Franz's ability to see, the core factor is the number of engineers.

Without enough basic talents, no matter how advanced the technology is, it cannot be quickly transformed into industrial production.

With the development of industrial technology, the demand for basic talents is increasing.In later generations, countries in all countries are engaged in compulsory education, which is the result of market forces.
