Holy Roman Empire

713 Refugee Camp

Difficulties in immigration work did not surprise Franz.This is an inevitable result, and it cannot be prevented by personal will.

There are millions of refugees in the Polish region, and the Russians are unable to provide relief. There are only two options for maintaining local stability: expulsion or massacre.

The only thing Russians can choose is expulsion. It is not that the Tsarist government did not have the courage to raise a butcher knife. It is mainly because the butcher knife will inevitably lead to interference from the international community.

Now that it is the late 19th century, the rules of the game have been worked out, and arbitrary destruction of the rules will inevitably be rejected by the European world.

The Russian empire at its peak was naturally not afraid of offending the European world. It is different now that the war between Russia and Russia has not ended. The tsarist government does not want to be isolated by diplomacy, but must abide by the game rules.

The Russian army began to expel refugees, and Austria ’s immigration work will naturally be affected. Even if the tsarist government fully cooperates, it is impossible for Russian soldiers to distinguish every refugee.

In this era of turmoil and constant communication, no matter how hard the Immigration Department works, it is impossible to notify everyone.

Apart from setting up immigration points in cities, the Immigration Department can do very little, and even be careful when going out of town.

There is no social order in the world outside the city. Bandits and bandits can be treated equally regardless of whether you are Austrian or not.

After letting go of the telegram, Franz said nothing, "The matter has come to this point, no matter what you do, nothing will help."

Difficulties caused by immigration are caused by force majeure. It is not someone ’s responsibility, and they cannot complete the previous plan without accountability.

Tell the staff in Poland to let them protect their safety.As far as possible, the Russians should send troops to protect, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for coordination."

Austria has a complete system of assessment and accountability. Officials do well for their achievements and will serve as the main reference for promotion. If they fail to complete their tasks, they will need to be accountable.

However, there are exceptions to everything. If it is caused by force majeure, and there is no obvious fault of the individual officials, there is no need to bear responsibility either.

There is no doubt that what happened in Poland is force majeure, and the government of Vienna cannot stop it, not to mention the staff below?

With such a good opportunity, Franz will naturally buy the hearts of people.The words of concern are not just for Polish officials, but also for domestic officials.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Foreign Minister Weisenberg replied.

Prime Minister Felix: "Your Majesty, a large number of refugees have gathered on the Polish border and want to cross the border into Austria.

Many refugees crossed the mountains and entered the forest.From the outbreak of the Russo-Prussian War to the present, more than 100,000 illegal cross-borders have been captured by the border guards.

Especially after the Russians began to expel the refugees, this situation became more serious, and thousands of refugees were deliberately arrested every day."

Since the outbreak of the Russo-Prussian War, illegal crossing of borders has been a problem for the Vienna government. The actual situation is much more serious than that of Felix.

This also involves issues left over by history. There are many people on the borders of Obo who have been affiliated with others, many refugees who cross the border illegally, and local people provide cover.

In addition, there are a large number of illegal immigration organizations.These organizations hold unknown mountain trails and organize refugee smuggling from Poland.

There is no doubt that these organizations are for profit.If you have money, you can pay the stowage fee. If you have no money, you can arrange to enter the black factory or the construction site directly.

According to statistics from Austrian courts, more than 76% of illegal crimes in border areas are caused by illegal immigrants.

For such illegal and criminal activities that seriously endanger the public security of Austrian society, the Vienna government will naturally crack down.

It is a pity that the illegal immigration organization is like a leek, and the stubble cuts quickly and grows again.

In contrast, illegal immigrants who vote for relatives and friends have to settle down.Most of these people hide in the countryside, and friends and family will find a way to make a living.

After several years of learning the Austrian language, most of these people will apply for naturalization.The method is very simple. Running to the border to pretend to be a Shinra citizen living in Poland, there are so many German states that there is no way to check.

Well, the latter is the result of the Vienna government closing its eyes.

This is the reality. Sometimes it is rare to be confused. Everyone says that they are Germans, and the government is naturally too lazy to go further.Otherwise, the proportion of the main ethnic groups in Austria will not always show an upward trend.

For details, please refer to the Galician region. In 1848, the local Germans were less than one-tenth. By 1880, they had risen to 38.6%, surpassing the Poles and Ukrainians to become the first nation.

According to normal circumstances, this is impossible, but in reality it really happened.Franz did not know what happened in the middle, nor did he want to know.

It seems to be self-deception, but it is actually very effective.People are taking the initiative to merge in, and there is no need to doubt the degree of identity. Whoever doubts their nationality, they have to be anxious.

In essence, European nations are a mess, most ethnic groups are artificially separated by later generations, and the 19th century was the last opportunity for European national integration.

The influx of a large number of refugees into Austria is an inevitable result. Everyone knows that the Kingdom of Prussia is not an opponent of the Russians, and it will still experience war after running behind the Kingdom of Prussia.

In addition to the Kingdom of Prussia, Russia and Austria are the borders with Poland. As long as they are not tired, they will not go to Russia, so they can only go to Austria.

If it was not for the Russian army to deliberately rush the refugees to the Kingdom of Prussia, there may be more to run to Austria.

In a sense, it is either the lucky ones or the smart people who are running to the border of Obo.

It is not safe to run to the Kingdom of Prussia without saying that it may not be able to get relief.It is different when going to Austria. No matter how cruel the Russian army is, it will not engage in things in the border area.

Under normal circumstances, as long as it enters the default buffer zone on both sides, the Russian army will stop.

When you get here, you can get through the customs, try to get past them as far as possible, and you can break through illegally. If you are smarter, you will surrender when you see the defenders.

As for the future?

Considering so much, I'm still surviving first.

Anyway, Austria is a country ruled by law, as long as it is not a profiteering, it is just two results of prison and exile,

After contemplating for a while, Franz said slowly: "The establishment of temporary refugee camps in the border area will increase the number of people going through the border. Not only the Opo border, but also the Opp border will become a high incidence area for refugees.

The number of refugees this time is probably an astronomical number, and our prisons may not fit.Throw all the colonies, management is also a big trouble.

The Prime Minister, there are major projects in China that need to be built, and now there is a batch of free labor that comes to the door and cannot be wasted."

The most important thing in a country ruled by law is to obey the law.No matter how many refugees there are, as long as they cross the border illegally, they should still be arrested, and those who should be closed must be closed.

This is a matter of principle, Franz will not break the rules.The willingness to pay for the establishment of a refugee camp is already a manifestation of his conscience, and there has been no claim that the refugees of other countries have been freely paid this year.

Prime Minister Felix: "The Ludwig Canal (predecessor of the Main-Danube Canal) in Bavaria is no longer sufficient, and the government is studying whether to expand.

The Ministry of Agriculture plans to build 50 large and medium-sized reservoirs in the next ten years; the Ministry of Railways plans to construct the railways around the Arabian Peninsula and the Middle East Railway; 8.5% ... "

A series of big plans made Franz return to the era of the great construction of Austria.But he is very clear that this is obviously different.

At that time, Austria was a nationwide force in infrastructure construction. Although these plans are huge, they only need a part of the energy invested by the government.

For the expansion of the canal and the construction of the reservoir, the problems of these projects are concentrated on "money", and the technology does not have any difficulty.

The railway plan and the hydropower station are different. In addition to economic problems, there are also technical problems.

Austria has experience in the construction of railways in the desert, but it is only a short distance. This time it is not a grade to build a desert railway of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers.

Hydropower plants are relatively simple, and only relatively.The reason is very simple. Hydropower plant technology has just been born and is still in the trial stage.

This can be seen from the amount of power generation. Hydropower accounts for only three-thousandths of the total power generation, which is almost negligible.

Most of the rivers in Europe have relatively small drops, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of using hydropower. If there are not many rivers in Austria, it is estimated that no one would think of promoting hydropower.

Franz asked: "Is the technical problem of the desert railway solved?"

Regardless of the hydropower plant technology, it is because the construction of hydropower plants in Austria is mostly private investment, capitalists are smarter than anyone else, and no one loses money in the business.

Prime Minister Felix replied: "It has been initially resolved. The Ministry of Railways plans to build a sand prevention forest, and plant shrubs, date trees, Populus euphratica, and sand-fixing herbs on both sides of the railway.

Considering the threat of sandstorms, in areas where sandstorms occur frequently, the desert roads will be built first, and the railways will not be built temporarily.These are mainly branch railways that go deep inland and need to consider these issues.

Most of the areas to be passed by the Middle East Railway and the Arabian Peninsula Railway are desert areas, and many areas are affected by wind and sand. They are not real deserts, and sand prevention forests are enough.

We have tried it, and the effect is good now. As long as it does not catch up with the big sandstorm, it can play a very good protective effect, but it takes a long time."

Franz nodded. The Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula were not as devastated by later generations. Especially after Austria occupied these areas, they implemented the policies of land fallow and prohibition of animal husbandry for the first time to protect the natural environment.

"According to the plan, the government is responsible for the rational use of these free labor and assign language teachers to educate them.

Remember to kick out the criminals inside, and the rest depends on the performance of the individual. The good performance can be slightly better, and the activists can end the labor earlier.

After the end of labor, they are allowed to leave freely, and they are willing to stay and pay their normal wages.

Refugee-carrying family members who are old or weak can be given certain preferential treatment and placed in areas with better conditions as much as possible."

Preferential treatment of the old and the weak is not the Frau Franz, who can take the family to flee together, the character will not be worse, there is a family drag, this part of the people are often the most easily assimilated.
