Holy Roman Empire
Chapter 599
Entering the industrial age, the Berlin government has recognized the importance of population, especially labor with a certain level of knowledge.
The Kingdom of Prussia is the first country in the world to complete compulsory education. The Rhineland region is also the most developed region of the Kingdom of Prussia. A large number of basic talents have gathered here.
These talents happen to be the most needed in the Kingdom of Prussia.In the initial stage of industrial development, the demand for high-skilled talent is not large, but the demand for ordinary skilled workers is the largest.
After the outbreak of the Second Industrial Revolution, Austria was able to surpass Britain and France, not to say how advanced Austrian technology was, nor how great Franz ’s prophetic ability, the core factor was the large number of engineers.
Without enough basic talents, no matter how advanced the technology is, it cannot be quickly transformed into industrial production.
With the development of industrial technology, the demand for basic talents is increasing.Afterwards, all countries are engaged in compulsory education, which is the result of market forces.
The old time and space empire was rich in resources, but fell behind in the second industrial revolution, that is, lost in the number of basic talents.
By the time they responded, it was too late.It is impossible for competitors to stand still and give you decades to cultivate talents.
The Kingdom of Prussia has always maintained a high investment in military spending, and the domestic economy has not collapsed. In addition to the strong political strength of the Berlin government, the advantage of population quality is also an important factor.
In theory, everyone who has completed compulsory education has the potential to become an ordinary skilled worker.If you work hard, becoming an engineer is not impossible.
Most low-end engineers are grown up by skilled workers, and basic cultural knowledge is a necessary condition.
If some people make statistics, it will be found that although the population of the Kingdom of Prussia is much lower than that of Britain and France, the number of basic engineers is not more than that of Britain and France.
If only the Kingdom of Prussia is to be developed, talents are definitely sufficient, and William I will not pay much attention to immigration. The key is that there is still a need to develop the Kingdom of Poland.
During the tsarist government, serfdom was implemented in Poland, education was a patent for a few people, and ordinary people were purely illiterate.
After the independence of Poland, although efforts were made to develop education more than abolition of slavery, the results were not optimistic.
The idealistic government always formulates its policies, always looking only at the surface. It comes as good as it can, without considering the actual situation at all.
The Polish government ignored the fact that teachers were inadequate and financially inadequate, and blindly following the compulsory education even further than that of Pu'ao.
The ideas are good, but the reality is not allowed, and the final plan can only stay on paper.Except for the establishment of several face-saving engineering schools for the children of powerful people, the practical significance to the country is equal to zero.
Now that the Popo Federation is established and the task of developing Poland falls to the Berlin government, the demand for talent naturally increases greatly.
William I: "No matter what we think of, we must have as many immigrants as possible. The domestic industrial development requires talents, and the assimilation work in Poland also needs immigrants.
The former Polish Revolutionary Party headed by East Brovsky was very restless recently. They have always resisted the work of national integration, and the government's next task is very heavy."
For the Kingdom of Prussia, Poland's body is still too large to breathe in one breath.In order to stabilize the situation in Poland, the Berlin government had to compromise with Polish local power.
However, compromises are also divided into objects. The former Polish government headed by East Brovsky was the one who suffered the most from the interests of the Pupo merger. There is no possibility of compromise between the two sides.
When I first arrived, in order to maintain local stability, even if I knew that the former Polish government was secretly making small moves, William I had no way to treat them.
Can not move on the bright surface, but wearing small shoes within the rules is still indispensable.
Mao Qi persuaded: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The focus of the government's work will still be on resettlement.
The biggest problem now is the corruption of the Polish government. The federal government has just been established. In order to maintain local stability, it is inconvenient for us to strike hard.
When the situation stabilizes, the government will conduct an assessment of public officials, kick out malfeasance and corruption, and wipe out the officials in the Polish region."
There must be accounts after autumn, but not now.Although the former Polish government was ousted from power, the strength of the Revolutionary Party cannot be underestimated.
In particular, the army formed by the Polish government in the later period was a close friend of the revolutionary party.Although the combat effectiveness of these troops is not good.But there are tens of thousands.If it's really urgent, it's not good to have a dead net.
Originally Prussia annexed the Kingdom of Poland, it was a bit far-fetched, if another civil war broke out.That hurt the morale of the people in the country.
The method adopted by the Berlin government was to boil the frog in warm water. The Polish army's defeat in the Russian-Polish war provided the Berlin government with an opportunity to intervene in the army.
Under the pretext of war losses, William I took the opportunity to abolish the names of the four infantry divisions of the Kingdom of Poland, and the remaining troop structure was also compressed to varying degrees.
Of course, while compressing the establishment, William I was also expanding its armaments.This is not a contradiction. The troops whose numbers were abolished were all lost on the battlefield.
If it is a heroic army that has won the battle, it is naturally impossible to abolish it.The problem is that the Polish army lost, and lost so badly, then the abolition of the number became reasonable.
Rebuilding the new slogan, the remnants of the original troops are destined to be marginalized.As a defeated general, no one can say anything even if they are retired.
William I did not do so absolutely. Some of these people were transferred to the reserve, and some of them stayed in the active army. It depends on the standing team.
The Polish army was trained by the Prussians, and the pro-Public faction is naturally indispensable.When forming a new army, it is natural to give priority to your own people.
After some operations, the armed forces of the Revolutionary Party have been compressed by half, and this is how William I wanted to move the Revolutionary Party.
Now faced with opposition from the Prime Minister, William I was very upset.But his city was deep, and even the ministers like Bismarck could endure in time and space, and naturally he could accept Mao Qi's honesty.
The capable people usually have a big temper, which makes William I very helpless.
After rational thinking for a while, William I nodded: "Wait then! Now collect the evidence first and calculate the accounts together in the future."
William I passed the age of youth, and he likes to think twice before doing anything. After realizing the possible risks, he decided to take a step back to the sky.
Foreign Minister Jeffrey Friedman reminded: "Your Majesty, the International Conference on the Holocaust in West Asia is about to be held in Jerusalem, and we need to make a choice.
The current national situation is still unclear. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends that you remain neutral and avoid participating in the diplomatic game between the three countries."
The international situation is not unclear, it is completely a mess.The three countries of Britain, France, Austria and Austria cooperated and confronted each other, causing the diplomats of all European countries to collapse.
In this context, it is very easy to lose money by blindly standing in line.What if the boss just settled and offended?
There is nothing to talk about in front of interests. The cooperation between the three countries of Britain, France and Austria is because of interests, and the confrontation is also because of interests.
Fortunately, all three parties are very sensible now. Even if a confrontation occurs, it does not pull everyone into the water and limits the confrontation to the rules.
...
In Vienna, while the Prussians were hesitant, the negotiations between Britain, France and Austria on the division of interests also began in secret.
The reason why the powers are powers, the most important one is the thick skin.
It seems that the three countries of Britain, France, Austria and Austria are checking and balancing each other, but this is just a clear way to show the outside world.Secretly everyone has long been sitting at the negotiating table, whirling around the attribution of sub-interests.
The problem of West Asia is just a shadow. The conflict between Ottoman and Persia, standing on the standpoint of the three countries of Britain, France and Austria, is actually just playing with children.
The refugees are almost dead, it is not necessary to talk about this issue again.In this era of weak meat and strong food, "right or wrong" is the least controversial.
The international community will not impose sanctions on the Ottomans because they expelled refugees into Persia and caused great losses to Persia.
Similarly, the international community will not hold the refugees persecuted by the Persian government and hold them accountable.
In addition to verbal condemnation, more is the division of interests of the three countries of Britain, France and Austria. This is the main issue in the debate now.
