The worst fear is a lack of hope, and the 3 million workers programme will not solve all of Europe's unemployment problems, but it will give us all hope.

Adhering to the principle of maximum impact, unless they are skilled workers, this labor recruitment is limited to one person per household, and as far as possible, it is skewed towards economically disadvantaged families.

In a sense, this recruitment not only relieved the pressure on employment in various countries, but was also a massive campaign to alleviate poverty.

The wages set by the Viennese government were not high, only 50% of the average income of the European population in 1893, but for the lower classes, this was already a high income.

In this era of great disparity between the rich and the poor, the annual income of the big aristocrats and capitalists was equal to the annual income of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, while the income of more than half of the grassroots was less than 20% of the average, so the word "average" had already lost its meaning.

If it weren't for the fact that the workplace was overseas and the basic conditions were not up to date, such jobs would have been up for grabs.

In this respect, Franz, the Poverty Champion of the Year, is a sure thing. Perhaps also the poverty champion of the century, after all, this level of poverty alleviation work has been unprecedented and is unlikely to be repeated in the following years.

Signing a labor contract, you pay three months salary in advance, there is no need to worry about being cheated, this is a joint organization with the governments of various countries to recruit, follow-up labor dispatch everyone will also track together.

Of course, no one knows exactly how far it will go. Anyway, the propaganda, as much as possible to pick the good said.

The harsh climate and the infestation of poisonous insects and fierce beasts were realistic issues that were ignored by the governments, whether intentionally or not. Perhaps for the rulers, though, sending these potentially dangerous elements away is the way to go.

The sprinkling of money was naturally effective, and for every advance salary that was paid, a family was temporarily relieved of its starvation crisis. The worsening situation in Europe has finally taken a turn for the worse.

......

South Seas, the much-anticipated Philippine War Mediation Conference, has opened in Sulawesi.

As expected, in addition to the Japanese and Western powers involved, Britain and the European Union countries were also involved in the mediation.

It was very clear that the situation was very unfavourable for the Japanese in a 1 vs 17 mediation meeting. It would be an absolute tragedy to play tongue-in-cheek diplomatically.

The Japanese government is not without effort, and in fact, before going to the negotiating table, Ito Hirobumi had already visited a number of ministers to invite them to the mediation meeting.

Not asking for full support, even just sending a representative to put on a show and hold a personal audience would be a form of support for the Japanese government.

Unfortunately, even though the Japanese army had done well in the Philippine campaign, Spain was still seen as a bit more powerful.

It was too difficult to ask people to risk offending Spain by helping to hold the show. The Japanese were never able to pull in a second ally, except for the British government, which got in the way and remained on the side of the Japanese government.

The aftermath of the isolation was soon evident. Negotiations had only just begun, and the aggressor's hat was put on them, and they could not be refuted at all.

......

The representative of Russia, Tamboulantos, rightly said: "The aggressor must be severely punished, and any indulgence would be an affront to the civilized world.

In order to bring justice to the innocent victims who died, I propose the establishment of a temporary tribunal to try the culprits who started this war.

......"

If one were to judge solely from the comments made by Tamburndos, the uninformed would surely think that it was the Japanese invasion of Russia that made him so angry.

This is no longer the proper attitude of neutral mediation, but more like a revenge meeting. Did Tamburundus have a grudge against the Japanese?

The answer is no!

Although because of the assassination of Crown Prince Nicholas, the Czar's government up and down look at the Japanese are not happy, but the Crown Prince after all, still alive and well, this is not enough to hate the country.

Not only is there no hatred, even the big conflict of interest is not. The Tsarist government did not move strategically east, and the Japanese government did not move north, even though there was a little dispute over Kushima, that ended with the Japanese government giving in.

But that didn't prevent Tanbolandos from seeking the Japanese's bad luck, and besides selling goodwill to the Crown Prince at home, it was more important that the Spanish paid up.

In order to occupy the initiative in the mediation meeting, the Spanish representative is all the way to spend money, to participate in the meeting of the representatives of the countries each a "specialties" is indispensable.

In fact, it was not only the Spanish representatives who gave gifts. The Japanese delegation also spent a lot of money, and Ito Hirobumi even paid a personal visit to each of them.

Diplomacy in the 19th century was always accompanied by a desire for materialism, or as it was called, public relations.

Giving money doesn't always get things done, but not giving money will always get things done badly. Diplomats are far more maneuverable when their own national interests are not at stake, and usually tend to favor whoever gives the most.

Unfortunately, not this time, the European Union Conference has already made a decision to support Spain, and as a diplomatic representative of one of the member states, Tamburados has to support it as a matter of political principle.

In this context, the efforts of the Japanese delegation could at best only make people give lip service and soften their attitude in support of Spain.

But a telegram from a major figure in China made him give up all illusions and become a staunch anti-Japanese.

There was more than one similar telegram, and almost all the delegates from various countries received it. No matter how good the Japanese government's PR was in the South Seas, it couldn't stand up to the Spaniards' efforts from Europe.

The end result was that more than a dozen countries of the European Union were pulling sides. Nominally mediating, but in reality they were all supporting Spain.

The Spanish representative went along with it: "Sir is right, the aggressor must be severely punished, otherwise justice will not be done and the world will be in chaos.

According to the information we have gathered, the Japanese government has a secret agreement with the French, and the southward invasion of the Philippines is only the first step; they also plan to cooperate with the French in European operations."

Simply withdrawing the Japanese from the Philippine Islands was obviously hard to quell the Spanish hatred. Unfortunately, their own strength was limited and they were unable to counterattack the Japanese mainland.

In order to make the end of the Japanese worse, Federico decisively chose to pull the Anti-French Alliance down. By sitting on the fact that Japan was collaborating with France, the Battle of the Philippines was not just fought for Spain's defense of the colony, but for the Anti-French Alliance.

The nature changed and the end result would naturally be different. Even if it was to save face, the Anti-French Alliance would have made the Japanese suffer. Even Britannia, who originally supported the Japanese, would be forced to abandon this little brother under pressure from the Antifa League.

Faced with the Spanish representative's accusations, Ito Hirobumi naturally could not admit it, or else it would not be a question of when to withdraw from the Philippine Islands, but whether the Japanese Empire would still exist.

"This is a complete smear, we have nothing to do with the French, there is no such thing as collusion.

Anyone with a little bit of military common sense knows that Japan is tens of thousands of miles from Europe, and with the previous performance of our navy's ships, even if we were to go to Europe, we would have to make many resupply trips along the way.

If we don't get everyone's permission, the imperial navy doesn't even have the ability to enter the Indian Ocean, so how could it collude with France?

The Imperial Navy only went to the South Seas to fight pirates, but we were forced to launch a counterattack when we were attacked by your country's garrison while adding coal to Luzon.

We are the victims of this war, and the so-called invasion is simply not justified. It's all the responsibility of some idiot garrison officer on Luzon Island, otherwise there wouldn't be this war at all."

In order to reduce the blame, Ito Hirobumi resolutely chose to open his eyes and tell lies. Regardless of whether anyone believed him or not, he would not admit to all of the Spanish accusations anyway.

"There's no point in being sophomoric in the face of hard facts. The French have all acknowledged the existence of the secret contract, and even I have brought a copy of the contract."

After saying that, Federico, the Spanish representative, took out a copy of the contract and handed it to the nearest Shinra representative, and also glared provocatively at Ito Hirobumi.

Not only was there a secret contract between France and Japan, but there was also an Anglo-Japanese secret contract, and if it had not been for the acquiescence of France and England, the Japanese government would not have dared to go south.

Only now that France had fallen, and Britannia was still bullish, the Spanish government did not want to offend the British and directly ignored the fact that the Anglo-Japanese secret pact was in place.

The most worrying thing happened, heartbeat accelerated Ito Hirobumi, hard scalp snapped: "A treaty made up out of thin air, you want to convict us, your country is inevitably too overbearing.

We never signed a secret treaty with the French, and your Excellency brings out a fake contract and wants to make us admit it?"

We have to be nervous, but the Franco-Japanese secret treaty really exists. It's just that the content on top of the treaty was somewhat different from what the Spanish representative said.

Before the southward strategy was launched, the Japanese government had considered the consequences of France's defeat, so the treaty was mostly ambiguous when it was concluded.

Coupled with the Paris government's lack of regard for Japan, it didn't take their military power seriously at all, and the final treaty concluded was a plan for a joint siege of pirates.

The siege of the pirates seems to be no problem, the problem is that at that time, the Shinra navy for the purpose of blockading France, no less in Malacca to do unprofitable business.

As the victor is not to be blamed, so this piece of black history, must be erased. The Japanese navy wants to surround the "pirate" problem, obviously the Shinra Empire will not say anything, secretly will not retaliate, no one knows.

Anyway, Ito Hirobumi was very nervous. In the Japanese government's view, Shinra spared no effort to support Spain, out of revenge for the previous Japan may collude with France.

Just because of the "possibility", the secret agreement between France and Japan is also strictly confidential, and under normal circumstances Shinra would not know the details. However, international politics does not always require evidence, and a possibility was enough to make the Vienna government give them a small shoe.

If this "possibility" was confirmed, then Japan would have a hard time in the future. Explanations are meaningless, and whatever the Japanese government's purpose, whether they did it or not, they will be avenged.

The hegemon needs to make a stand, as the first post-war Japan, it must be used as a "chicken" to warn the monkey.

Based on this judgment, Ito Hirobumi is now dead can not recognize the French-Japanese secret agreement, even if the contract is taken out the same.

Perhaps the realization of the little brother in trouble, the British representative Klaus said with a smile: "you things have happened, continue to dwell on the past no meaningful, our eyes forward.

War is cruel, and every day that it continues takes many precious lives. Anyone who desires peace does not want a war, enough blood has been shed.

We are sitting together today to reconcile the conflict and end this meaningless war. As for other issues, let's wait until the war is over before discussing them!"

It's not that Klaus doesn't give a damn, it's just that the Japanese government has started this war that doesn't stand up to scrutiny at all. Hold back the war excuse, undeclared war, these are the Japanese government can not wash clean.

If you were dealing with a weak country, you could either be a scoundrel or a jerk; but now that the European Union has intervened, the best way is to do it according to the rules of the game.

The London government is already busy with the collapse of the European Union, at the moment is really not the right time to pull out hatred, after all, a coalition exists the necessary conditions for the existence of just two points: common interests and common enemies.

The first step to dismantling the European Union is to make the European countries feel no threat, only when the common enemy disappears, they will feel confident and bold to fight within.

In order to achieve this, the London government has decided to make strategic contractions abroad to avoid conflict with European countries as much as possible.

Against this backdrop, the support that the British were able to give to the Japanese government can be imagined. Perhaps the London government now hated the immediate end of the war in the Philippines so that the European alliance could be idle sooner rather than later.

The same applies to politics. If an alliance has nothing to do for years and years, people will find it dispensable.

"Soldier to soldier, general to general."

Since the British came out on top, as the leader of the European Union, Shinra naturally had to help his little brother take the pressure exerted by John Bull, otherwise how could he convince the public.

As the Shen Luo representative Governor Chandler smiled, "It's naturally best to end this war as soon as possible, after all, we all love peace, no one wants to keep fighting and killing.

But in order to warn future generations, there is still punishment for the invaders. I think it would be better to end the war by first restoring each to its pre-war frontier.

Then, a joint delegation will be formed by each country to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the causes and consequences of the war. We are determined to have zero tolerance for the culprits who started the war."

Two big rogues talking about peace together, no barrier could be seen in the slightest, and if they didn't know better they might have thought that Britain and Austria were on good terms.

Unfortunately, everyone present was in the know, and everyone had already seen the game between Britain and Shinra.

The only one who felt nervous was probably Ito Hirobumi. There was no way around it, and the light-hearted restoration of the pre-war frontier seemed fair, but in reality it was the scrapping of the last bargaining chip in the Japanese government's hands. Without the Philippine Islands, what was the Japanese government going to bargain with Spain?

The Joint Investigation Mission is purely disgusting, a total of twenty countries sitting on behalf of, after the removal of the two belligerent countries, exactly 1:17. such a disparity in the ratio of the questionnaire mission, the results of the investigation will be in favor of whom, it goes without saying.

Zero tolerance for the culprits who started the war - zero tolerance, we absolutely believe this. Just look at France, after the Anti-French Alliance won the war, it took the French consortium to sacrifice the sky.

There really was no injustice, just a bit too much leakage. It's needless to say that the man directly responsible for the displacement of people in Belgium and the Rhineland, Michael Mahon, is not responsible for the deaths.

The problem is that the top brass of the Bonaparte dynasty, who started this war, were actually let off lightly. Even if they can't catch anyone, but not even bothering to issue a warrant is a bit too much.

Just spit it out in your heart, there's no point in saying it. The rules of the game were such that Napoleon IV promptly surrendered after the war, and the previous score was wiped clean.

It applied just as well to the Japanese government, except they didn't lose the war and the Spanish didn't have the ability to go to Honshu and take people.
