My Italy

Chapter 269 Bad News

As Libya also begins its cleanup work, Italy's international public opinion has become increasingly unfavorable.

Faced with this situation, the Italian government has not failed to act. They spent their almighty money to clear the way, and many foreign media, who were greedy for money, began to change the conversation and began to excuse Italy without leaving any trace.

They started with why Italy did this, and some started with history, talking about the hundreds of years of war between the Ottomans and Venice. Some start from the perspective of ethnicity, saying that Albanians were not originally living in Albania and Kosovo, and the local indigenous people were wiped out. Anyway, these newspapers can start from all aspects and find out the reasons from the expelled Albanians.

It is precisely because of these paid efforts to run newspapers that media from various countries no longer criticize Italy one-sidedly. Although it is much worse than condemning and condemning it, it can somewhat allow people in other countries to obtain other information, which will be of great help in alleviating the pressure on the Italian government.

As the main messenger of this expulsion policy, Carlo actually felt a lot of pressure and even felt a little regretful.

He had thought about the pressure from public opinion on Italy before, but he misjudged the magnitude of the pressure. In fact, it should be said that it was a miscalculation of the British attitude. As the current leader of the world, the British Empire can cause trouble to many countries with just one attitude. Although Carlo had a full understanding of the British Empire, the image of the sunset in the memory of later generations still had an impact on him to a greater or lesser extent.

Therefore, this time the British just made a statement, which caused Italy's unsavory image in foreign public opinion and made Carlo know that he had previously underestimated the influence of the British.

But even though he felt in his heart that he had underestimated Britain, he still had no regrets about this action. Carlo had a profound understanding of the spread and exclusivity of drugs in later generations. This is the best time to solve this problem. If it is delayed until the 20th century, the era of rapid development of information and society, it will be even more difficult for Italy to deal with this problem.

As for now, public opinion is nothing, just grit your teeth and get through it. As long as no country wants to take actual action against Italy, then there is nothing to worry about.

The best thing to do next time is to think more about the attitude of the British.

Of course, in addition to considering international pressure, the government also takes action on the beginning and end of the expulsion operation.

Regarding the expulsion operations in the Balkan Peninsula, those who were expelled had plenty of places to go, and the surrounding Ottoman and Boseisi countries all benefited from it. Although Italy looks down upon these people, to them, these people are very attractive. All four countries are helping people who have been expelled from Albania and Kosovo along the way, trying to keep these populations in their own countries.

Their calculations are very precise. Although these people do not have much financial resources, as long as they are human beings, they can create wealth, which will still bring great benefits to the four countries.

As for the vacant space, don't worry. Italy mobilized five to six million people from its homeland to go to the Balkans without any problems.

Thanks to economic development over the years, Italy's population has grown from 28.46 million in 1881 to the current 32.09 million. This is not even Italy's actual growth rate. If you include the 3.21 million immigrants and immigrants to overseas colonies in the past ten years (470,000 people moved to various colonies), Italy's actual growth rate is also quite astonishing.

Therefore, although Italy's economy is developing well, the domestic employment and man-land contradictions have not been changed.

The employment growth brought about by Italy's economic development has been completely swallowed up by the high birth rate.

In view of the current actual situation in Italy, many people within the government actually welcome Carlo's move to completely expel the locals.

Although this has given Italy a bad reputation internationally, it has played a great role in alleviating domestic population pressure.

In addition, according to the government's latest plan, they plan to move 600,000 people from their homeland to new territories in the Balkans within three years. This number needs to reach 800,000 within five years. The main destination of these immigrants is the current hot spot for Italian investment, Kosovo.

As for Libya in North Africa, the Italian government only plans to relocate 120,000 people within three years, mainly to coastal areas suitable for agricultural production.

As for the indigenous tribes in Libya, according to the government's arrangements, they were mainly forcibly transferred to the East African colonies.

Some people may say that if you have forced the other party to move away, won't the other party be resentful and cause trouble to the government of the new place?

In fact, there is no need to worry about this. You must know that these people who have been relocated have absolutely no intention of doing this. Even if they really have complaints in their hearts, they do not dare to show it at all. Because of disputes with the local tribes where they settled, they would cling to the Italian government's lap.

You must know that there is no free land in the world. Every piece of land on the five continents and four oceans is owned by people. The places they go to are allocated to them by the Italian government. This was obtained from the local tribe. No tribe or force would have a good look on someone who robbed their own territory. The high-ranking Italian Governor-General can't afford to offend him, so how can he be afraid of these local leopards who have moved from other places?

And in order to prevent the tribes from North Africa from being too concentrated and detrimental to their development, Italy very thoughtfully divided these people into several parts with a maximum number of 10,000, and also thoughtfully found good neighbors for them, all with 20,000 to 30,000 people. tribe. I believe in the good intentions of the Italian Governor of East Africa, these tribes who migrated from North Africa will be grateful and will use the strategy of clinging to the thigh of the Governor's Palace to the extreme.

As for whether there will be people who don't do this, I can't guarantee that. However, I believe that those who do not do this will not end well. There is no need for the Italians to do anything. As long as the local tribes find it profitable, I believe they will know what to do.

Although these methods were not stated explicitly, Carlo still saw them clearly from the letter from Antonio, the Governor of East Africa. Carlo still knew the reputation of this governor who ruled the people with an iron fist even as far away as Rome.

The king of kings in East Africa (for the many tribal kings and dukes in East Africa), and other intimidating names, this Governor Antonio is countless.

They were all given to the colonial tribes in East Africa who had been docile under his discipline over the years. However, King Menelik I of Abyssinia praised him very much. He had said many times that he very much hoped to gain control from Governor Antonio. Learn the experience of governing the people (Abyssinia currently has no emperor, and the highest is only the king. This is the title Menelik I demoted since he considered that Italy is only a kingdom).

However, although Menelik I praised Antonio, he did not know that he was the most wary of the East African governor. In Antonio's report to Rome, he called Menelik I the biggest hidden danger in the East African colonies, and he was not as surrendered to Italy as he appeared.

Just as Carlo was reading the report on the relocation, the captain of the guard hurriedly rushed in.

"Your Majesty, I just received the news that the Governor of Borneo, Kairolli, passed away due to illness!"

"What!"
