Holy Roman Empire

Prime Minister Felix: "As of now, there have been 1,876 domestic bankrupt companies, and the unemployed population has exceeded 2.47 million, setting a record high.

Among them, the cotton textile industry suffered the most losses. A quarter of the textile mills went bankrupt. More than half of the cotton textile mills announced a reduction in production, and their production capacity fell directly by 37%.

This is closely followed by the shipbuilding industry, which has suffered few new orders from shipyards in recent months due to the reduction in international trade.Even the original orders have been affected by the economic crisis and announced a default.

Steel ... "

Bad news kept ringing in Franz ’s ears, which was the inevitable result of the economic crisis.

During the Great Depression, the market shrank, and companies cut production capacity and layoffs in order to survive the crisis, which led to further shrinkage of the market, forming a vicious circle.

To solve the crisis is very simple, either find a new market to transfer the crisis, or wait for the market to naturally pick up.

Now the situation is very obvious. All of Europe is affected by Austria. If you want to transfer the crisis, you can only rely on the market to recover itself.

After the survival of the fittest, backward production capacity was eliminated.Most of the surviving companies have worked hard in management or technology, and each time the economy passes is also a period of technology explosion.

Unlike in the past, after the outbreak of the economic crisis, the Vienna government did not increase investment in public facilities and increase jobs, but allowed the market to adjust freely.

Franz asked: "How is the immigration work going?"

The crisis is not terrible. What is terrible is the unemployed population generated in the crisis.This year, the working class's ability to resist risks is seriously insufficient, and unemployment is okay for two or three months. If there is no income for a year and a half, then something serious will happen.

The way to get through the crisis is very simple, just immigrate directly.The colony is under development and lacks a large amount of labor.

Under normal circumstances, except for those who are restless and want to make a fortune, few people are willing to leave their hometowns and work hard in the colonies.

To put it bluntly, the prime time to get rich in the colony is over.As the development continues, the conditions of the colony are getting better and better, but the opportunities for making money are getting less and less.

Early immigrants can basically make a fortune as long as they are willing to work hard and do not die.Up to now, it can only be said that there are more opportunities than domestic ones.

In order to stand out, in addition to daring to fight, you must also have a flexible mind, plus a little luck.

The temptation is reduced, and everyone's enthusiasm for immigration is also reduced.Even if Austria has already begun its colonial localization strategy, after all, the time is still short, and the infrastructure is still far from comparable to the domestic one.

Especially in the fields of transportation, medical treatment and education, the gap is huge.The transportation problem is that the development time is too short, and medical treatment and education are insufficient talents.

It's not that Austria lacks doctors and teachers, mainly because these people can live well in the country and have no incentive to fight in the colonies.

In order to solve these problems, the Vienna government has also established schools on the African continent to train doctors and teachers on the spot.

This is not a short period of time to see the effect, but also requires time to accumulate.Especially for the training of doctors, according to the current education system in Austria, there is no less than seven years in the medical profession. It takes ten years to train a qualified doctor.

This is not a high demand from Franz, but a practical need.In the era of lack of medical equipment, doctors depended solely on the ability of doctors, so it was impossible to make a crash.

Colonial Secretary Stephen replied: "As of now, the number of people who have signed up for immigration has exceeded the 1.2 million mark, and 680,000 immigrants have been resettled.

The number of applicants continues to increase. According to the current domestic economic situation, it is estimated that the total number of final immigrants may exceed 3 million."

This is the characteristic of the economic crisis. The people in the early stage still have savings to support, and the more difficult the life will be in the future.

In order to survive, it is not surprising to register for immigration.If people choose voluntarily, it is estimated that there are few people in Austria that want to go to the colony.

In order to encourage everyone to emigrate, the Vienna government also broke its heart.Many colonial companies recruit immigrants in two situations, one is direct immigration, and the other is to go to Africa to work.

Most people will choose the second one, even if the Vienna government of direct immigration will subsidize the settlement fee, it cannot shake everyone's determination.

Many people also dream of working hard on the African continent for a few years and returning home when they have saved enough money.The reality is that after living in the African continent for a few years, most people have stayed behind.

No way, income is the key.The African continent lacks labor, and ordinary workers are naturally paid more than their native counterparts.

After getting used to high wages, I went back to get low wages. The living standard did not rise but fell, and few people could bear it.

In order to attract more people, the colonial government encouraged everyone to bring their families.Now Africa is no longer a barren land, and many people will go to the colony with their families for the convenience of life.

Franz nodded: "Immigration work, continue to grasp. Now is the best opportunity. Once the economic crisis is over, it is not easy to have so many immigrants in the future.

How is the situation abroad? At that point in the Paris conference, is it possible for countries to reach consensus in the short term?"

"Yes, Your Majesty! The plan that the colonial ministry has formulated will try to absorb immigrants during the economic crisis," Stephen replied.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg: "Your Majesty, all European countries are deeply trapped in the economy, and now everyone's life is not very good.

However, the overall situation has stabilized.The French have suppressed the Italian uprising, Napoleon IV directly took control of Paris, and the opposition has deliberately made trouble and is unable to implement it.

It is worth mentioning that the relationship between Puder and Germany has deteriorated sharply, because the outbreak of the Rhineland uprising directly broke the last layer of window paper that maintained the relationship between the two countries.

According to the agreement, when the Rhineland Uprising broke out, it was actually close to the handover period in the treaty. The German Federal Government wanted to hand over the advance, which was rejected by the Berlin government.

In order to obtain more immigrants, the Prussians sent troops to suppress the uprising and forced a large number of people to leave.

Judging from the information we received, the Berlin government has basically emptied the essence of the Rhineland region, and the talents of engineers, scientists, doctors, and teachers are almost completely wiped out.

Under the intervention of European countries, the Berlin government has just handed over to the German Federal Empire, but this progress is very slow.

According to preliminary estimates, the Berlin government may be delayed until after the year.Now they are still using their last time to dig people. Perhaps when the German Federal Empire took over, even the local skilled workers were gone.

Affected by the economic crisis, the Paris meeting went very smoothly.The governments of various countries are not at the meeting, and some people even whimsically want to pass on the crisis through the colonies.

In the battle for the colony, everyone would not give in to each other.Coupled with the fact that the British are deliberately doing things, it seems that they want to fish in troubled waters, making the prospects of the Paris conference even less optimistic."

Franz nodded, and the Kingdom of Prussia took away millions of immigrants from the Rhineland region.

These are all digging the corners of the German Federal Empire. The most precious thing in the Rhineland is not mineral resources, but these high-quality talents.The two sides did not directly fight, they are already very restrained.

As for the British intentionally leaving hidden dangers in various countries, this is a familiar formula and familiar taste.If they don't do it, Franz will think there is a problem.

The Paris Peace Conference was intended to mediate conflicts between countries and reduce the falseness of international conflicts, but from the British standpoint, the real purpose was to reduce their own conflicts with countries.

Will other colonial empires have conflicts? What does it matter to them?To deliberately provoke relations between countries is completely a habitual operation of John Bull.

If all the contradictions in European countries are gone, will everyone coexist peacefully and enjoy good neighborliness and friendship?
