Chapter 841: They’re all full.

  Chapter 824: All Eaten Up

Hearing the word “professional”, Alberti frowned. In all honesty, killing and exterminating people is not his specialty, his essential job is to catch criminals.

He wanted to argue, but considering that this was a critical moment, he couldn’t care less about these small details.

Alberti shook his head, “Your Excellency the Count, the winds are very tight right now, and the number of people involved is too large, it’s difficult for us to silence them without attracting the attention of the outside world.”

This was inevitable, one or two prisoners having an accident was still justifiable, if dozens of people had accidents at the same time, anyone would know there was a problem.

It wasn’t difficult to kill and silence, the key was how to deal with the government’s next investigation after the silence. Any hint of exposure would knock them off their mortal coil.

Hearing this answer, the atmosphere in the room became even more somber. I don’t know who took the lead and lit a cigar, and for a while the chamber was filled with smoke.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Sir Ledus proposed, “I’ve been to the Alpine Tarot Prison, the environment inside is very bad, and every year there are not a few criminals who have accidents inside.

If we can take care of the prison guards and create an accident, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem as long as our hands are a bit cleaner.”

Alberti shook her head, “You haven’t spent any time in the police system, you don’t know the tricks of the trade.

There are many things that we are able to find out if we want to. Even if it’s done cleanly, there will be traces left behind.

It’s easy to create accidents, but how can we ensure that we kill all the ones we want to kill at once, and what if there are fish that slip through the cracks?

As long as there is a survivor, all the problems will be exposed. We can’t expect the prison guards to kill them themselves, can we?

Even if the extermination is successful, the matter is not over. These Jewish capitalists are no good, I don’t believe they haven’t prepared a backhanded plan.

In case we silence them in front of us and someone takes the evidence and reports it later, the result will only be worse.”

It was because of this understanding that Alberti was clear about how unreliable this kind of mass extermination was.

It wasn’t impossible to take care of the prison guards, only that for this kind of high-risk matter, people would at most pretend not to see it, and it was simply impossible to make them sell their lives with their heads in the sand.

The most troublesome thing was that silencing was only the beginning of the matter, not the end. Don’t look at them threatening family members, but in reality it’s all just confusion.

For a felon of this caliber, the family members would have been controlled and interrogated long ago. Even if they wanted to do something, it would be after the dust settled.

Generally speaking, even if it is retaliation, people will not do it directly. More still, they use the power in their hands to arrange a good place for them.

For example: exile in Alaska to dig mines, or to the desert to build railroads and so on.

The proposal to silence was rejected, Count Vitus sighed and slowly said: ”If we can’t silence them, then we can only cut off their tails to survive.

We haven’t received any money from the Jews, so they shouldn’t have any evidence pointing directly to us, and the only hidden danger is those few enterprises that have had interest transactions with them.

If everyone is willing to give up, I suggest throwing out all these industries and severing the ties with us.”

The faces of the crowd changed drastically, these industries were not just a star, besides the transfer of benefits, there was also a portion of their own inputs.

If they really gave up these industries, one of the people sitting here would be counted as one, along with the family behind them, they would all suffer a great loss of energy.

Alberti hurriedly objected, ”No way! Giving up these industries would not only result in heavy losses, but the key is, can we really get out of it?

In the past, everyone has not been using the convenience of these industries to reap benefits, the investigation team as long as they follow the trail, they will be able to come to the door.

Maybe these things are not enough to convict us, but cut off our career has been enough.

Don’t think so much, the priority is to stabilize these capitalists and buy us time.

Next, we will mobilize our influence to get these industries out of the way as soon as possible, including the neighboring related industries as well.

We haven’t shown our faces, so if we cut off the chain of interests and send the people involved out of the country, half of the trouble will be solved.

Mobilize our power to find a way to get the court to sentence these Jewish capitalists to death, preferably immediate execution.

As long as we’re fast enough to take action as soon as the judgment comes down, they won’t have a chance to open their mouths.”

Both equally cut flesh, the latter means are obviously more skillful, especially the extermination action at the back, which is full of professionalism.

No one would care about the death of death row inmates, dying a day earlier and a day later was similar in nature.

In a populous country like Austria, people are executed every day. Generally speaking, those sentenced to immediate execution are executed after three days and within seven days.

The time left in between is reserved for families to say goodbye. But this is an unspoken rule, not an explicit one.

Theoretically, criminals can be executed as soon as the verdict is handed down.

Even if it was a little too quick and attracted the attention of those who wanted to, the problem could be blamed on “anti-Semitism”.

Hearing this proposal, Count Vitus brightened up and said in surprise: “This is a good idea, Alberti, you are really a genius.

Sir Ledus, I’ll leave the task of stabilizing this bunch of scum to you. No matter what method you use, you have to muddle through first.

Extraordinary means can be used when necessary, but they must be used with caution, we won’t be able to cover it up if things get too big and attract the attention of someone with a heart.

From now on we are the anti-Semitic vanguard, we must let the evil Jewish capitalists, be punished by justice!”

……

The wave of anti-Semitism continues to run high, and can no longer attract the attention of Franz, who is now busy taking stock of the harvest, and by the way, allocating where the windfall will go.

Economics Minister Reinhardt Haldgen handed over a document, “Your Majesty, this is the plan for the renovation of the old industrial cities.

The Ministry of Economy has two main views: the first view is to re-site the city and build a new city; the second view is to renovate the city on-site and learn from the British to build a subway to improve the city’s transportation.

Both programs have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of building a new city is: after re-planning and designing, the population and transportation capacity of the city will be greatly increased, and there is no need to worry about it for a long time in the future;

The disadvantages are: too much money needs to be invested and the construction period is long.

In contrast, remodeling directly on the basis of the old city will yield quicker results in the short term and require much less capital investment.

However, many of the street plans in the Old City do not meet current needs, and remodeling is only an immediate solution; reconstruction will still be needed in the future.”

The issue of the city’s footprint is not on the table; Austria has little else but plenty of land, and that’s an advantage in urban planning.

After a little thought, Franz made a decision, “We have to do too many things, it is impossible to put all of them into the construction of the city, first of all, the old city remodeling, and then in the future to consider the construction of the new city.”

The financial problem is only one aspect, the more critical is that these days there is not much mechanical equipment, the main force of building construction is manual labor, mostly rely on shoulder picking and carrying, the construction progress naturally can not be fast.

Unlike the Near East Development Program, the population over there was limited, and having a plan for city construction was enough, the latter part of the plan could wait for the population to grow before considering it.

Now need to rebuild are large industrial cities, move are a million or eight hundred thousand people, build a new city construction volume is very large, no ten or twenty years time, simply can not get it.

In such a long period of time, the yellow flowers and vegetables will be cold. The international situation is ever-changing, if Austria plunges headlong into the infrastructure, in case of emergencies, it will be troublesome.

As for the question of future reconstruction, that is the inevitable result. The economy is changing rapidly, and even if a new city is built, it will face similar problems in a few decades.

The productivity of society determines that it is impossible to build a city in one step, and renewal is the law of social development.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Reinhardt Haldegen did not continue to fight for it, building a new city was important, but there were many more important projects than that in Austria.

For example: transportation.

With the increasing number of cars, the original roads are no longer able to meet the real needs, and upgrading them has become the trend of the future.

The poor countryside, where there are hardly any vehicles, can be ignored for the time being. But the renovation of the roads around the big cities is already imminent.

In Vienna, for example, there are more than eight thousand small family cars in the city, and the number of trucks and tractors is even more than ten thousand.

The city is fine, when the city reconstruction of the road are left wider, temporarily do not have to worry about traffic jams, but the surrounding main roads will not be able to.

The road that a horse-drawn carriage runs on and the road that a car runs on are not the same concept at all.

A road that can accommodate four horse-drawn carriages can only accommodate two trucks at most. If there was an accident in the middle of the road, there would be a traffic jam.

Nowadays, there are not too many vehicles, so the road blockage is still tolerable, the big deal is just a matter of ten minutes.

The key is that the dirt road is suitable for horse-drawn carriages, but not for automobiles. Especially on rainy days, muddy roads are the worst enemy of automobiles.

In order to change this situation, as early as two years ago, the Vienna Municipal Government was starting to build concrete highways.

There were many cities that wanted to follow suit, but unfortunately not every city was so rich that they had to turn to the central government for help.

Too many reached out for money, and the central government couldn’t come up with it, so the plan was put on hold for the time being.

There is no way to improve transportation is certainly conducive to economic development, but investment in road construction is a money-losing business, even if the opening of the tolls is still a drop in the bucket.

The Ministry of Economy has done an assessment, according to the current scale of Austria’s domestic vehicles, even if it is in accordance with the annual growth rate of twenty percent, within twenty years are difficult to rely on road tolls to achieve break-even.

You know that this is only the operation and maintenance of the break-even, rather than back to profit.

This is still theoretical, the reality of a highway, can be used for twenty years are few and far between.

In addition to the individual highway can be scrapped before, to recover the construction costs, the vast majority of the road is the road has been scrapped, the project is still in the loss.

If they could make a profit, the capitalists would not be indifferent and would have already poured money into it.

To put it bluntly, it’s still too early. If the time to move back twenty or thirty years, willing to invest in the capitalists, absolutely not a few.

Now, even if the construction of Vienna to Prague, such a busy road, the final result will be blood money.

The reason is very simple, Austria’s railroad industry is too developed, the cost of rail transportation is lower than the road transport, many areas have to face lower running costs of water transport competition, long-distance freight simply do not go on the road.

There is no long-distance freight, relying on family cars to collect tolls back to the capital, in the automobile popularization to thousands of households before, simply no chance.
