My Italy
Chapter 265 Solution to the New Territory
Carlo's words were very problematic, because he didn't ask about placement or comfort, but directly used the plan.
Faced with the issue of Carlo, Prime Minister Despretis had communicated with His Majesty before, but he was not satisfied.
Because His Majesty Carlo's request was to drive away all these locals, this approach has not been used in other countries except Russia, which has always been known for its barbarians. To be more precise, no European country has used it this way in the past hundred years.
Despretis, who considers himself a civilized person, certainly disagrees. These are nearly a million people, and it would be a big project for Italy to drive them all away. And not to mention the international public opinion that drove these people away, the time and energy spent alone made Italy very hurt. Not to mention that there may be various resistances, which will drag down Italy's economic development.
Faced with the various reasons given by Despretis, Carlo, as the king, also had his own understanding.
These new territories, whose inhabitants were overwhelmingly religious, were a source of instability for Italy. Although in this era, it was far less arrogant than in later generations, for Carlo, who was bent on localizing it, these were all stubborn elements. Although Carlo did not have the iron fist of communism, he did have the iron fist of the Kingdom. For the long-term stability of Italy in these areas, it is better to spend more now than to cause trouble in the future.
However, Depretis and others completely failed to understand his painstaking efforts and only saw the petty profits in front of them, which made him equally dissatisfied.
In this case, he plans to make this issue public and let Italy's senior officials make their own choices.
Faced with Carlo's sudden question, Prime Minister Despretis immediately spoke. "In this regard, the government has already made a plan. If the Christian believers in the area are willing to relocate, we can let them go. If they are unwilling to relocate, we can accept them after they swear allegiance to the kingdom. In addition, the Christian priests in the area can be admitted. , must be recognized by our country, otherwise it is prohibited to preach the doctrine. In addition..."
The methods Depretis mentioned are basically the current methods used by Europe, mainly Austria-Hungary, against Japan. Many of the government's measures have been borrowed from neighboring countries.
After listening to Depretis' story, Carlo shook his head and said. "Although this method is good, it takes too long. It will take at least a hundred years to reverse the local people's religious beliefs. If you encounter die-hards, it will be even more of a headache. If you ask me, it is better to do it once and for all. Just drive them away and start from there. A large number of local immigrants are the solution to long-term stability.”
"But Your Majesty, this will delay the development of the local area. In addition, the energy, time and cost required are not low. This will make the government debt even heavier. Your Majesty, you don't know the current difficulties of the government, right?"
Prime Minister Depretis' counterattack also hit home. Although Italy won the battle and gained a large territory, Italy currently has enough debt. If it continues to borrow money, the interest alone will weigh on everyone every year. Out of breath.
Faced with the problems raised by the Prime Minister, Carlo Tong already had an idea. "As for the issue of funding, I actually have an idea. If we want to reduce costs, then maybe we can find a way from the local residents. For example, those fields, plantations, mines, factories, etc. that cannot be taken away can all be used for us. Reduce financial burden."
This is almost an explicit statement, allowing the government to find ways to deal with these evicted local residents. If external influences are not considered, it will actually benefit Italy a lot.
First of all, space can be made for Italian people. Albania and Kosovo can accommodate at least 600,000 people. If the industrial construction carried out by the government in the local areas is included, millions of people can be accommodated. This has a great buffering effect on relieving the pressure in Italy where there are too many people and too little land.
In addition, the vacated area is also good for Carlo. The government cannot distribute those minerals, factories, plantations, etc. for free, so those who can acquire these industries must be rich and powerful dignitaries or wealthy people. bourgeoisie. These people formed Carlo's basic base. Yes, Carlo, the King of Italy, was the spokesperson of these people. This was something he had understood within ten years of coming to this world, and the memories of his previous life could at most give him more Take a look at the situation of Italian civilians. Don’t forget this when distributing benefits.
After talking about the financial response, Carlo looked at General Saraget and said. "I think the Army should have enough measures to deal with these local people who do not cooperate with our country's policies."
Seeing that the question attracted him, Admiral Saragate, who was originally watching the show, immediately answered seriously. "The local residents have nothing to worry about at all. Our military has already collected weapons in the area several times before. For those who lack weapons, we have many ways to make them obedient."
General Saragat's words represent the army and he has enough confidence in this matter. In this era of unconstrained hands and feet, public security warfare is much easier to fight than in the era of later generations when little news spread all over the world. (Afghanistan is called the Tomb of Empires because it is restricted by various rules in modern times. In ancient times, this was not considered at all. It was just stepped on by various invaders.)
Not to mention this kind of all-out operation, as long as the net is pulled several times, there will basically not be a few fish that slip through the net.
In terms of public security and funding, Carlo has already come up with solutions. As for diplomacy, Carlo alone cannot solve this problem.
But then again, everything is ended by King Carlo, so what should the high-ranking officials in the government do?
So after telling two ways, Carlo stopped talking.
However, although Carlo stopped speaking, Despretis, as Prime Minister, clearly felt the power of the king's words. Before Carlo gave the solution, everyone in the venue obviously didn't agree, but now most people are moved.
This method of benefiting most people in Italy at the expense of the newly occupied areas is really tempting.
No, Foreign Minister Bacona took over the words. "Actually, the diplomatic impact on our country is not that big. You have to know that these are all pagans. How much sympathy can you have for them? At the government level, except for the Ottomans, other countries should not have any sympathy for the government. The only thing that can affect us is to eliminate the impact of time. Will it delay the subsequent construction too much? "
Regarding the concerns of the Foreign Minister, Admiral Saraguet immediately spoke. "As for the expulsion operation, according to our military's methods, everything can be completed in three months at the fastest and half a year at the slowest."
The Minister of War made such a statement because such an action would benefit the military a lot. First of all, this kind of action can increase the military's influence among the people. In addition, this kind of action also has a lot of money. Although most of it will be turned over, it can also collect a lot of finance to subsidize the army's expenses.
After the Secretary of War finished speaking, Secretary of the Interior Sabot said immediately. "If we follow the time given by the military and transport the immigrants, the construction task will not be delayed too much, and the start of construction will be delayed by three or four months at most. This is an acceptable result."
Well, in the face of interests, Prime Minister Despretis was ruthlessly abandoned.
Faced with such a situation, Depretis is certainly not blind. Since everyone thinks that this is profitable and beneficial to everyone in Italy, he will certainly not continue to insist.
As Depretis's attitude changed, the meeting also came to an end, and Italy's policy on the new territory was also announced. I just don't know how the local residents will react when they know the result.
