Chapter 635: The Restoration Group
Chapter 621 – Restoration Group
Those who were able to come out to study in the 19th century naturally wouldn’t be ordinary people. This kind of pheasant university was originally meant to be a knockout, and the cost naturally couldn’t be any cheaper.
On the surface, tuition is cheaper, but in reality, all subsequent services are charged, and the actual cost is usually higher than that of a regular university.
Moores is undoubtedly being pitched, Austria’s regular universities are never short of students, at most, enrollment in the German region, who ate their fill to Mexico to enrollment?
This was not the case during the reign of Massimiliano I, and it is even more unlikely now. The key to the high tuition fees for Austrian students is the lack of funding from the Ministry of Education.
It’s not that Franz didn’t realize the importance of training foreign students, but this was not the right time to do it. On the one hand, it was too expensive, and on the other hand, he did not want to cultivate competitors for himself.
Not only Austria, but also all the major European colonial empires were like that, most of them only recruited European students. It wasn’t that people were stupid and didn’t see the benefits of training foreign students, it was mainly that it wasn’t worth it.
In the original time and space, when Americans cultivated international students, it was to overturn the table; when Japan cultivated international students, it was to ……
Now Austria just likes to recruit international students from the German region, partly to cultivate pro-Austrianism, but more so because most of these people end up staying in Austria.
Treating them differently is actually buying people’s hearts and minds.
Again, foreign students, hotheads like Morse from Mexico will mostly go back to Mexico in the future.
Cultivate talents for others, the Vienna government is naturally not willing to spend blood money, or else the Austrian Army and Navy Higher Command College would not dare to pit him.
In fact, it is not considered to be pitched, Austrian education regulation is still quite strict, even if it is a pheasant university, it is also a pheasant university that can learn knowledge.
After graduation, not to say can mix how good, go back to fool people or enough. Otherwise, these lecturers will not be “well-known masters” in society.
The main purpose of the school to hire them is because they can boast. No matter if they are right or wrong, they are still good enough to fool ordinary people.
It seems that these people are not doing well, mainly because they were born in the wrong place. If they had lived in the United States, they would have all become members of Congress, and maybe even become the President against all odds.
They can mix well, there are two major advantages: can blow and no bottom line.
The circle of foreign students is not big, it is not easy to meet compatriots in a foreign country, using the opportunity of the party, Moores also met a lot of people, but also joined the Mexican International Students Mutual Aid Association.
Now that he naturally knew the situation, it was natural to go for help.
……
“Mr. Moores, many people in your situation have encountered it. Studying in Austria is not easy and competition for regular university places is very fierce.
Even if you passed the test before coming to Austria, it doesn’t mean that you will be enrolled, it only means that you are qualified to take the exam.
In fact, the probability of passing the entrance test at one time will not be more than ten percent, and it is usually necessary to study in Austria for several years before being able to obtain an entrance qualification.
The vast majority of international students end up in higher education institutions. The Austrian Army and Navy Higher Command College, where you are now studying, also belongs to higher vocational colleges and universities, but its ranking is relatively low.
Now you have two choices: you can either continue to study until you graduate, or you can study on your own and re-enroll in a regular Austrian university.
They do not have an age limit for international students to enroll, but it is a bit costly, with an application fee of 500 guilders for each application.
The enrollment time for each institution is different, and theoretically, you can enroll in one hundred and thirty-seven regular Austrian universities at the same time.” Brian Hege explained
Hearing this explanation, Moores was silent for half a second before asking, “This is a money grab, isn’t it, why is the enrollment fee so high?”
Brian Hege nodded helplessly, “That’s right, it’s a money grab! The school can’t even look at us, we’re just a bunch of fat sheep in their eyes.
If you don’t want to take the exam, you can also enroll in school by directly paying a school selection fee of 30,000 to 100,000 God’s Guilders. Generally liberal arts majors are relatively cheap, science and engineering majors and military schools are more expensive.”
There’s no way around it, reality is so cruel. Austria has been implementing compulsory education for more than twenty years, and every year there are millions of candidates competing for 50,000 to 60,000 enrollment slots, and the quality of the student population is guaranteed.
And the results of international students are mixed, good results in Austria is also a superior student, poor results of the top ranking higher education institutions are disliked.
Excellent students are naturally popular, free enrollment is not unheard of, even after graduation, the Vienna government will also retain. Poor students that will be dragged back, in addition to generating income, will affect the reputation of the school.
Geniuses are always a minority, the vast majority are ordinary people. Most people work hard at school, and it is the educational environment that determines the final grade.
Moores complained, “Damn, there are so few places for international students, why can’t they let us take the advancement exams?”
Brian Hague didn’t answer, he was afraid of irritating Moores. It wasn’t that there were no international students who tried to find a way to drop their citizenship and then take the advancement exams, there were not a few of these people, but the end result was very miserable.
Other people from studying for more than ten years, is it not possible for you to compare it with a temporary surprise? As for the previous education received in the old country, it is unfortunate that it is not matching.
In this era, the deviation of the teaching materials of various countries, that is a world of difference. The same question, appear different answers, that is a common thing.
Especially in science and technology textbooks, with the rapid development of science and technology, almost every year, revisions and corrections are being made.
This is not to mention the literature and history classes, where schools are standardized according to the content of Austrian textbooks. Many of the same historical events are recorded in different history books, and many of them are contrary to each other.
When it comes to questions, schools don’t care so much, they just follow their own standards.
With this difference in education, international students naturally scored low marks, which directly made the school think that international students were of poor quality, and they had no place to argue.
Brian Hague shook his head and consoled, “There is no way, who made Mexico too weak? Even with the same score, international students from the powerful countries are given priority in enrollment.
But Moores you should not despair, when Mexico is strong, this situation will happen for the better.”
Moores nodded with the same hatred, “Yes, it’s all because of that group of damned warlords, who just know how to fight for power and profit all day long, tearing the great Mexico apart!”
Seemingly finding a common topic, the two were chatting more and more, and soon became good friends.
……
Sending Moores away, Brian Hague had a smile on his face for a moment and wrote in his little book:
Moores – male – 19 years old, hot-blooded patriotic youth, progressive thinking, with a clear anti-warlord tendency. Whether or not he embraces the imperial system is to be further observed, and it is recommended to focus on it.
Then quickly put it away and put it into a drawer, and continued other work as if nothing had happened.
Yes, Brian Hague was a member of the Massimiliano I Restoration Group, and not only him, but many Mexican students had joined the organization.
These are the credit of Massimiliano I’s group of followers, after coming to Austria, these people did not fall silent, and have been working hard for the restoration work.
The blow to Massimiliano I will be depressed, in addition to find ways to raise funds, has basically do not care about things, without the middle two emperor to point the finger, these people did not do a good job.
Now the continent of Europe, or the stronghold of the monarchy, even the cradle of thought of France, the mainstream idea is still monarchy.
Against this background, students who come to study in Europe are naturally inevitably affected.
Coupled with the Mexican warlord chaos, more miserable than the previous period of Massimiliano I, which makes many people skeptical of the republican system.
Franz took advantage of the opportunity to whitewash the propaganda against Massimiliano I, and threw all the black pots of failure on the conservatives, the ambitious.
In order to fool these middle-aged teenagers, Franz also compiled the policies formulated and decrees issued under Massimiliano I. Many people believed it.
After all, Massimiliano I really didn’t do anything bad, and even if there were many problems with these policies, they were all in the dark. On the bright side, these contents were for the country and the people.
Maybe not to fool the old man, but used to persuade these hot-blooded young people or no problem.
Since there were no problems with the emperor’s policies and there was no arrogance, the ones who caused the country’s problems were the conservatives and ambitious people who opposed the reforms.
The current warlords’ conflagration aptly proved this point. Many people directly brainstormed that Massimiliano I was an outsider, who was hollowed out when he first arrived and could not command the ambitious people in the country at all.
There was no need for Franz to add to the evidence behind this. The Restoration group had collected a whole lot of it, and it was real gold, and there were indeed many who disobeyed the Emperor’s orders.
The foreign students were all from the upper middle class of society and they were exposed to a lot of things. Having been influenced by everyone, they associated with more.
The end result was that the restoration group grew. From the initial two to three hundred people, it had grown to now have more than four thousand organization members.
How many of them were sincere supporters of the Emperor and how many were pure speculators was hard to say.
If it were not for the constant flow of funds, which made the outside world think that the Habsburgs were still interested in supporting the restoration of Massimiliano I, the restoration group would definitely be two or three small cats and dogs now.
Including Franz, in fact, is not sure whether to carry out the restoration. Now the restoration of the group’s funding, Franz only provides a small part, most of the Massimiliano I own ways to raise.
Don’t think he was not very capable, but he could not help but be liked. As far as Franz knew, the Grand Duke Karl and the Empress Dowager Sophie’s family funds were all given to him to fill the huge pit of the Restoration.
If this investment fails, there is a great possibility that his other two brothers, will be very miserable without inheritance.
This is a small problem, the Habsburg family upbringing is still good. Will not make a joke for the sake of a little inheritance for outsiders to see.
But the relationship between Massimiliano I and his other two brothers, it is also predictable. It is not a question of money, except Massimiliano I, everyone is not short of money, mainly jealousy.
When a parent favors one child, it is natural for the other children to feel uncomfortable. If Massimiliano I had been the eldest son, it would have been fine. According to the German tradition, the eldest son inherited the family business, and everyone would have had nothing to say about it.
Unfortunately, Massimiliano I was not, and this favoritism naturally triggered the resentment of his two younger brothers. Even though they hid it well and appeared to be brotherly and friendly, they could not hide it from Franz’s eyes.
Knowing that, Franz did not have the intention to open his mouth. All fingers have their lengths, and it is normal for parents to favor one child over another.
There are not so many reasons, and there is no such thing as right or wrong, pretending to be confused is the best choice. If the lid is lifted, everyone will not look good.
Besides, hasn’t the investment failed yet? Massimiliano I is indeed wasted, but he still has a son, Massimiliano II is only now still a small kid, it is unlikely that this little number can be practiced.
Do not relate to reality, really can not help but please use the flower name, the author is timid!
