Chapter 611: The Struggle of ……
Chapter 598 The Struggle of ……
The eyes of all of Europe are focused on the West Asian continent, the only exception is the Prussian government. There is no way, their own pile of bad things have not been dealt with, where the energy to care about other people’s family’s broken things.
Even if the Ottoman Empire is a potential ally of the Kingdom of Prussia, it does not serve any purpose. Britain and France dared to support the Ottoman Empire, the Prussian government would never dare to interfere.
From the standpoint of the Kingdom of Prussia, a strong Ottoman Empire is certainly in their interests, but once they support the Ottoman Empire, they will have to offend Austria.
This choice is very good. Britain and France are strong, not afraid of Austria’s retaliation, backstabbing also stabbed.
The Kingdom of Prussia will not be able to, the threat of the Russians has made them fidgety, and then go to provoke Austria, obviously unwise choice.
Now the international public opinion is very interesting, we are very unified, then caught the Persian government and the Ottoman government together to scold, the two together share the fire, together infamous.
But not so in international politics, which was 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 or the Ottoman government things do not moral, Persia in addition to the means of overreaching a little bit, in fact, itself is also a victim.
Most of the small countries in Europe are more sympathetic to Persia, but this is of no use, involving the great powers of the game, small countries do not dare to take a position, their own will at this time is not important.
Against this background the International Mission was formed, and both sides were pulling in the Kingdom of Prussia, which, if they were willing to take sides, could almost make the final decision with a single hammer blow.
But the shrewd Wilhelm I made the right choice – neutrality. There was no way around it. The same “pulling in” could be manifested in different ways at different times.
It seems that Britain, France and Austria are all competing to draw in the Kingdom of Prussia, but in fact, they are not willing to offer, the so-called “promise of benefits” is actually just a cake, visible but not eatable.
Without enough benefits, the Kingdom of Prussia naturally would not jump out of the war. William I knew very well that the struggle between Britain, France and Austria had its limits, and did not come to the point of life and death.
Don’t look at this crisis in West Asia, both sides seem to be in a stalemate, but in essence, it is also in the international investigation mission to fight the war of words, the three countries alliance still exists is the best proof.
In the three big countries “fight but not broken” in the case of standing in line, that is really tired of living. If you take the initiative to go to the door without being asked to take sides, aren’t you asking for trouble?
……
In the royal palace in Berlin, Wilhelm I’s face is gloomy and terrible, as if anyone owes tens of millions of marks, obviously too much trouble lately.
Foreign Minister Jeffrey Friedman reported, “Your Majesty, the Germans are pressing again, this is the diplomatic note they sent.” (German Federal Empire abbreviation: Germany)
William I: “Isn’t there still most of the year left? Tell the Germans that we will make the handover within the specified period.
Chancellor, immigration to the Rhineland must be accelerated. There is also a need to mobilize as many businesses as possible to relocate, the relocation is moving too slowly now.”
With the signing of the land deal contract between Prussia and Germany, the Rhineland region already belonged to the German Federal Reich, except that this kind of large-scale territorial deal could certainly not be accomplished in a day or two.
The Berlin government had a lot of institutions and personnel to remove, so the handover period between the two sides was one year, from June 15, 1875 to June 15, 1876.
It was now time for the handover of the Rhineland, only the Kingdom of Prussia had not yet had time to complete its withdrawal and naturally refused to hand it over.
From the standpoint of the German Federal Reich, of course, the earlier the handover the better. Although this transaction has the endorsement of the European countries, do not have to worry about the Prussian backtracking.
However, Prussia was now trying to manipulate the Rhineland region, and these assets could theoretically be considered as belonging to the German Federal Empire. By completing the handover one day earlier, the German Federal Reich could recover a lot of losses.
The king’s criticism of the slow pace of the relocation process left Prime Minister Mauch in tears. It was not that the government did not work hard, but the relocation of immigrants was really troublesome.
It’s not just a matter of getting people back, but also a matter of getting them settled and finding them a job where they can support their families.
Otherwise, even after returning to Prussia, people will still leave again.
The Kingdom of Prussia does not prohibit the movement of people, and these days the offices for Austrian immigrants are located in all the major cities of the German region, and as long as the registration follow-up costs are borne by someone.
For those with special skills, a field trip is also included. If you are not satisfied, you can refuse to emigrate, and you will be reimbursed for your round-trip expenses, so this service is definitely in place.
In the face of such a strong competitor, the Berlin government does not try how can it? Although the local living conditions are better, but also have to let the people have a job, to be able to support themselves ah!
It’s not that the Berlin government hasn’t cracked down on immigrants who engage in this kind of robbing behavior, it’s just that the window for immigrants on the surface has been closed, and the window for immigrants in the shadows still exists.
Not to mention now, even in the twenty-first century, all kinds of underground immigration channels exist. As long as there are benefits, they cannot be truly outlawed.
It is even more difficult to encourage capitalists to relocate, and it has always been the case that people rush to do business that makes money, and no one asks for the business that loses money.
The Rhineland region is rich in coal and iron resources, well-developed transportation, and all kinds of industrial facilities are readily available, but moving back to Prussia is not certain.
The land has been developed and perfected, the local snakes have long risen, and now meddling in it will only lead to bloodshed.
Not developed in Poland, Lithuania, the region, the supporting facilities are not perfect, the transportation needs to be improved urgently, the distribution of resources we do not understand, the most critical or the market changes.
In the Rhineland, the capitalists of industrial and commercial products in addition to local sales, there is a large part of the export to Austria, France, Belgium, the German Federation of these neighboring countries.
After the relocation, due to the influence of transportation, these traditional markets are saying goodbye to them. Perhaps in the future, when Poland and Lithuania have developed, the local market will be very good, but the capitalists can’t wait.
Reality is not a network paragraph, the so-called cultivation of the market, for the vast majority of capitalists, is a cup of “poisonous chicken soup”.
Before cultivating the market, the first thing to do is to survive. If you can not survive, the future market is even bigger, and what do you have to do with it?
Capitalists are smart when it comes to their own interests. Even with all the incentives promised by the Berlin government, it won’t change the risks associated with relocation.
Mauch: “Your Majesty, the government has done everything it can with the immigration work, we’re resettling 100,000 immigrants every month, and that’s already very fast.
For many immigrant families, we have only solved the employment of one laborer, and in order for the people to survive, the government has to give out an additional portion of subsidies.
Domestic enterprises have long been overcrowded, and in order to solve the problem of immigrant employment, we have had to increase public infrastructure investment and artificially create jobs.
Schools, hospitals, railroads, highways, urban renovation, water conservancy projects …… Almost all the basic industries that need to consume a lot of labor, we are investing massively.”
This is true, the Berlin government has shocked the world with the execution it has shown, completing the resettlement of nearly a million people in a short period of time, which can well be called a world record.
This is not unlike Austria’s manipulation of East Prussia back in the day, the Austrian African territory was big enough to spread out all around, and when it came down to it there were only a thousand or a hundred people in each city.
There are not enough jobs, but also can be arranged directly to planting, mining, the so-called resettlement pressure does not exist.
The problem of capitalist relocation is not even mentioned by Mauch. This is really no way, high risk should have corresponded to high profit, however, this industrial relocation only risk.
Poland, Lithuania region is not without resources, at least in the pre-Industrial Revolution is still enough, the problem is that you have to fix the road ah!
On the map, the Polish region has many rivers and most of them are suitable for navigation, so it seems that shipping is well developed.
In fact, the millimeter difference on the map, to the reality that is dozens, hundreds of kilometers of difference. It doesn’t seem to be that far, but for the vast majority of companies, it’s already fatal.
The Berlin government is working hard to build roads, and perhaps in the near future these problems will cease to exist. But the capitalists will not choose to share the country’s troubles, they can only share the wealth.
