Holy Roman Empire
Chapter 535: Ambition in Existence
The Vienna government bulletin posted a surprising recruitment message.It is not strange that the colonial government recruited public officials every year. The strange thing is the content above.
Seeing the excitement is the essence of human beings, and every time the bulletin board is updated, it will attract many people to come.There are not many entertainment activities in this era, and discussing gossip is also one of the fun for everyone.
Although there were many people gathered, the scene was not chaotic. Everyone consciously followed the rules, and there was no disturbance and bumps.
It is obviously impossible for so many people to see the content on the bulletin board at the same time. The people inside have already read the content on the bulletin board.
"The South African colonial government entrusted the Austrian Organization Department to recruit public officials. This time, a total of 4,800 people were recruited, including 1,000 government employees and 3,800 police officers.
Registration requirements: 1. Must be an Austrian citizen, with good health and sound limbs, no criminal record; 2. Received complete compulsory education, and all homework is above the pass line; 3. Ability to work hard, minimum service life 8 year.
Remarks: To apply for a police post, you must have certain military qualities, at least have received training in reserve service, and retired officers and soldiers have priority.Under 30 years of age, officers can relax to 40 years of age.
Treatment: The salary is doubled on the basis of the domestic average level of the same position, and the welfare treatment refers to the Vienna standard."
The salary treatment is left aside, the colonial conditions are harsh, and dangers may be encountered at any time, and the salary is naturally higher than domestic.
The problem is that the requirements for examinations are not too high, but too low.According to the above criteria, more than 90% of Austrian school-age youth are eligible.
If you are in the local area, with the treatment given above, the final restriction must be the start of the university, the achievement of war, or the status of nobility, generally one of the three.
Naturally, this is not possible in the colony, but it is usually also the beginning of high school education, or the threshold for outstanding retired officers and soldiers.
This time there are almost no restrictions. Of course, this is not a surprise. The fewer the restrictions, the more the number of candidates. The final competition will increase.
No one goes in bad conditions?That's because the price tag you gave is not high enough. As long as you are willing to spend money, how can nobody be?
Recruiting people according to this standard, not to mention 4,800 people, even if it is 4.8 million people, Austria can easily make up.
Of course, there are certainly not so many people willing to go to the African continent.The colonial government of South Africa lowered the admission standards, mainly due to the gold rush.
In order to ensure the stability of the administrative system, restrictions are set. Once the contract is signed, it is of a compulsory service nature and cannot be resigned before the expiration.
This will certainly dissuade many people.Africa is different from the homeland. In the case of bad conditions in the distribution area, it is not possible to leave early, and most people cannot bear it.
After hearing the restrictions, the voice of discussion continued.Most people are just watching the excitement, and they are not interested in this exam.
There are also people who want to try their luck.In this era, the worse the conditions, the greater the opportunities.
The colonial government is not stupid, there is no place for value, but there is no administrative institution.In recent years, the Austrian and African countries have been developing very fast, and many poor villages have become emerging cities.
For every major development, a group of lucky people will rise with it.There are not many opportunities for ordinary people to enter the ruling class, and domestic public officials are only the minimum standard for enrolling in high school.
For most people who have just completed compulsory education, this is still beyond expectation.Genius is always a minority. Ordinary people want to go further. In addition to hard work, they must rely on certain luck.
Stevie is one of them, and it is of the kind that can't be found on the street.Ordinary workers come from families and perform well in school, but fail to be admitted to secondary school. After compulsory education, they enter the factory to work.
Day after day work makes the fledgling Stevie very uncomfortable.However, reality does not allow him to be willful, commuting to work honestly every day.
Hearing the recruitment conditions, Stevie shined.However, he didn't rush into it, and the discipline that has been cultivated for a long time, the Austrian people are used to queuing.
Those who read the announcement in the front consciously stepped back, and the others in the back were filled in order. The scene was orderly.
This is one of the achievements of compulsory education. From the first day of school, we must learn to observe order. After so many years, everyone has developed a good habit of observing order.
Time passed quickly, and it was Stevie's turn soon.After watching the announcement carefully, and confirming that there were no omissions, Stevie's heart was not calm.
Disgusting conditions on the African continent?Sorry, Stevie does not have this qualification yet.As a member of the general public, it is not easy to have an opportunity. What are the qualifications to pick and choose?
The local conditions are indeed good, but the average Stevie has no advantage.The best way to stay in the country is to hone your skills, from ordinary workers to skilled workers, it is too difficult to enter the management.
To get ahead, he has missed the best opportunity.From the moment of failure in college, Stevie was destined to fight for three meals a day.
Every day we must strive for survival, and talking about development is completely nonsense.Although it is now in the air of the second industrial revolution, it has nothing to do with Stevie.
There is no capital, no network, no ability, even if you see the opportunity, there is no way to join it.
Fortunately, the rise of inventions and creations will be several each year. If you look at the whole Austria, the chance is only one tenth of a million.
Many unwilling and lonely young people chose the biggest gambling in their life and went to the colony for an adventure.
Stevie was prepared to do the same, but was blocked by his parents.The days at home are not rich, but they can live on, and parents naturally do not want him to go out for adventure.
This year, I simply want to immigrate to the colony for life. The danger is not high, but if I want to make a fortune, I still need to fight for my life.
The mortality rate of adventurers has never been lower. Every year in Austria, there are countless adventurers who fall into the middle of making a fortune. There are few real riches, and most people only earn more than ordinary people many.
No way, the golden age of colonization is over.Now if you want to open up a colony, the difficulty is much greater than in the past.
Unless it is a backcountry, most of the wealthy land is owned.The kind of land that can not be recovered even if the cost of domination, even if it has become a colony, does not need to want to get a return, the reality is so cruel.
Stevie saw this recruitment as an opportunity to turn over, even if the conditions were poor and there was not much room for promotion, it was better than continuing to work in the factory, at least for the salary.
There are many people with dreams, but few succeed.For ordinary people, in any era, it is very difficult to get an opportunity.
...
At the Vienna Palace, Shen Qin is holding a banquet in the happy Habsburg family.Perhaps it is to be a father, and Massimiliano's mental state is also much better.
Franz is absent, the Russians cannot help but want to move with Austria, he still has a lot of things to deal with.
War is never a child's play. Anyone who despise war will have no good results in the end.
The Russians had many enemies, and they were all enemies from west to east.If you want to join forces with Austria, then the target is self-evident, Prussia, Poland, or the Ottoman Empire.
This multiple-choice question is not so easy to do, we must weigh the pros and cons, and comprehensively consider the impact on the international situation.
Franz first ruled out the Kingdom of Prussia, but he wanted a face.In any case, the Kingdom of Prussia also belongs to the German nation, and collusion with outsiders to strike at their compatriots is not easy at all.
If it were done, Franz's reputation in Germany would be stinky.Nationalists will not agree with such a government, nor will the Prussians admit defeat.
This is a sequelae of nationalism. When establishing the new Shinra Empire, Franz used nationalism, and now naturally has to bear the consequences.
Moreover, the strategic position of the Kingdom of Prussia is too bad, enemies on all sides, unstoppable.To occupy the Kingdom of Prussia, one must first be prepared for universal enemies.
It is a pity that Franz did not plan to be an enemy to the whole world.As a member of the vested interests of the world order, Austria has no need to challenge the world order.
The remaining Poland and Ottoman Empire need to carefully weigh the pros and cons. He must beware of being pulled into the water by the Russians, and eventually evolve into a European melee.
Restricted by national strength and transportation, the great nations may not be able to fight the war of annihilation in this era, but it may still happen because of the war.
In the conference room, Franz stared at the world map on the wall and asked his back to the crowd: "What do you think of the Russians wanting to join forces with us?"
Russia and Austria are not allies, but this alliance does not include joint expansion.Both parties have completed the previous strategic transaction.
If you want to continue cooperation, you must communicate.Otherwise, as in the Russian-Russian war, the Russians provoke the war, but Austria is happy to draw on the side.
Foreign Minister Weisenberg: "Your Majesty, the situation in Europe has now stabilized. Once the war is provoked, it is difficult for us to control the scale of the war.
From the perspective of interests, whether we start with the Ottoman Empire or with Poland, the returns we can get are very limited.
If you attack the Kingdom of Poland, the Prussians are bound to participate.If Britain and France insist on supporting Poland, the last enemy is likely to evolve into Britain, France, and France.
Even if the French need to digest the Italian region and will not take military action, then in the end it is nothing more than reproducing the pattern of sharing Poland between us and Pu Russia.
Frankly speaking, I don't think there is anything in the Kingdom of Poland that deserves our attention. Even if it is a gain, it is only icing on the cake.The only effect is probably to further the conflict between Russia and Russia.
There is not much gain in starting the Ottoman Empire.Unless we join forces with the Russians to kill them all at once, the benefits that can be divided are destined to be very limited.
It is almost impossible to achieve this step. The Ottoman Empire is still a big country, and European countries will not sit back and watch us divide.
Now that the Russian Empire has lost its dominance, in the face of European intervention, I am afraid that the final pressure will fall on us."
There is no doubt that Weissenberg is opposed to instigating war now.Not only him, many people in the Vienna government did not want to start a war at this time, including Franz.
It's just that in many cases, you can't solve the problem without thinking about it.If Austria hasn't been moving, many will not be able to sleep.
It cannot be said that the Vienna government loves peace and has no ambitions for Europe, so let ’s sleep peacefully.
Franz didn't believe it.The definition of "ambition" is very vague. In many cases, strength is ambition.As long as you have strength, you have ambition in the eyes of the outside world, which is beyond your personal control.
