Holy Roman Empire

The basic disk of the Ottoman Empire was mainly concentrated in the Asia Minor Peninsula. The Sudanese government ’s control over other areas was obviously much lower.

Especially after the Anti-Turkish Alliance cut off the Sudanese government's contact with the localities, the control power was in vain.

Loyalty is only a few, and in the face of cruel reality, the weakness of human nature is exposed.

Seeing the general trend of the Ottoman government is gone, people who are unwilling to stay with this empire have begun to find a way out.

Baghdad is just the beginning. After Austria's entry into the two rivers, there have been endless deserts.

People are blindly obeying, and seeing the dignitaries and lords have run away, ordinary people naturally try to follow suit, and the Persian borders are overcrowded for a time.

...

Baghdad, temporary headquarters of the Middle East theater

Admiral Moores asked with concern: "Dennis, how many people left?"

Dennis' middle-aged officer replied: "In Baghdad, about 120,000 people left, and about half a million people left in the entire two river basins."

Admiral Moores frowned, "Not enough, there are still too few people to leave. The battle between the two rivers is basically over, and the rest is just sporadic resistance.

The local population is more than three million, even if it is due to war, there are at least two or two hundred thirty thousand, less than half a million left, and there are still 1.7 million left.

To move so many people in the future, it is necessary to spend huge amounts of money. The best way is to let them leave.

When the news was released, it was said that we would implement the Land Fallow Law. In the next two decades, both river basins will be prohibited from growing food and livestock."

The true and false news is often the easiest to believe.

A little bit informed, it is known that Austria has implemented the law of land fallow after occupying the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Arabian Peninsula.

Except for a few cities over there, there are lush weeds and bushes. The inland areas are basically uninhabited.

"Yes, Your Commander!" Major General Dennis replied

After hesitating, Dennis still expressed his doubts: "His Commander, leave them to create wealth, we can collect taxes immediately, why do we have to relocate and leave?"

In the eyes of many people, the Vienna Land Fallow Law is tossing around, and it has no substantial value except for labor and people hurting money.

The protection of the environment is not yet popular. No one has raised any objections. It is related to Jerusalem.The holy land is almost buried by the sand, it is really not ridiculous not to protect it.

The Arabian Peninsula can only be regarded as incidental, there is nothing there anyway, Austria does not lack camels, so fallow fallow.

The two river basins are different. The Mesopotamian plains are very fertile and can be developed for agriculture and animal husbandry.

The era of population explosion has not yet come. Taking Iraq as an example, there were 1.23 million people before the war, and the water resources were relatively rich.

Admiral Moores smiled slightly: "Naturally is for stability, don't you think these people will accept our rule with peace of mind?"

After hearing this answer, Dennis was even more puzzled.The Ottoman Empire was able to suppress these people. Austria also worried about local stability, and it was a joke to speak out.

The colonial empire has its own method of ruling. Generally speaking, if you can't solve the problem, you can use one way to solve it-"kill"!

Admiral Moores continued to explain: "If it is an ordinary colony, naturally it is not worth our blood, but the two rivers are special.

Our people discovered oil here, and geologists estimate that the oil reserves of the two river basins are likely to exceed the total amount of oil discovered in the world.

Scientists believe that oil is the next most important energy source, and it is likely to replace coal in the future."

Dennis shook his head incredulously and blurted out, "This is not possible! The use of oil is limited. How can it replace coal?"

Admiral Moores waved his hand: "This question is not something I can answer. Anyway, scientists persuaded the government to convince the country of this judgment."

Looking at Dennis, who was in a state of self-doubt, Admiral Moores continued: "Well, can oil replace the status of coal? This question will take time to prove.

For now, as long as we know that the role of oil is very important, our domestic reserves are few, and the two river basins have many reserves.

When it comes to energy security, in order to ensure the safety of oil extraction, we must fully control this area."

Moores also does not believe in the status of oil as a substitute for coal in energy, but as long as there is "possible", it is worth paying attention to.

In order to make the French aware of the "importance of energy", the Vienna government has carried out a lot of publicity. Now Europeans know that energy is very important.

After hesitating for a while, Dennis said slowly: "If you are like this, Commander, then it is not enough to release the news.

It is best to have practical actions, such as: levying a war tax and setting a tax payment that exceeds the affordability of most people; or sending people directly to persuade them to leave.

The Persians learned the lessons of the last refugee crisis and pulled up a cordon in the border area. There are now a large number of refugees there.

Without opening the passage, even if these people want to leave, they can't go out."

There must be more than one channel to leave.The problem is that they dare not go to Russia, and Austria will not let them in.

Admiral Moores nodded: "This is indeed a problem, and I will report to Vienna to fight for domestic support.

However, the chance of success is very low. Even if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs intervenes, the Persians have no courage to accept these two million people.

It is really impossible to encourage the refugees to go through the customs first, so the troops made a misunderstanding and tore a gap."

The Anti-Turkish Alliance did not support it, and under the dual pressure of the British government's military and diplomacy, the Persian talents put the British materials into the Ottomans.

For this reason, the Persian government has explained to Vienna and St. Petersburg many times, but unfortunately this does not make any sense, and for a long time, it does not like reasoning.

According to Admiral Moores, for whatever reason, Persia stands on the opposite side of the Anti-Turkish Alliance, and it will pay a price.

...

At the Vienna Palace, the progress of the Austrian army in the two river basins was smooth, and Franz did not feel relieved. The news reported by Admiral Moores made him very headache.

The Middle East theater is concerned about the problems of the one or two million people, and the Emperor Franz needs to consider the problems of more than three million people, or even more than four million people.

There is no way. The Ottoman government is crazy. It does not mean that the generals below are crazy. All the people are soldiers. If they can't win, they still have to surrender.

There are a million or two million prisoners of war on the Asia Minor peninsula. After all, the Sudanese government has gone crazy, and the losses have been so great that the locals have no food to serve as prisoners of war.

Forced by frustration, the Vienna government had to support this large group of "prisoners of war."Both sides were covered with blood from each other, and Franz did not think he had the ability to influence them.

Sending away is a must, and Franz doesn't care about spending money. It's just upfront investment. The problem is where to send people.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg: "Your Majesty, most of the countries in the Americas have refused to accept refugee immigrants. The United States of America has agreed to accept some immigrants, but it is limited to the young labor force.

No way, the Ottomans were originally unpopular, the countries of the Americas never attracted immigrants from the Ottoman Empire, let alone the old, weak women and children.

The United States of America is willing to accept that it was affected by the Franz butterfly effect. The number of Europeans immigrating to the United States has been greatly reduced, and the capitalists are lacking.

It is a pity that no matter how many people are missing, as long as the capitalists can create wealth and a strong young labor force, they have no love for the old and the weak.

"What is the government's plan?" Franz asked

Prime Minister Felix: "The government has three options. First, divide a piece of land from the colony and move these people over;

Second, throw the trouble to the forthcoming Kingdom of Armenia;

Third, using Persian support for Ottoman as an excuse to provoke war ahead and expel these people into Persia.

Each of these three options has advantages and disadvantages.The division of land settlement from the colony can only be done from the Americas or the South Ocean, which costs a lot.

It seems to be the easiest to throw to the Kingdom of Armenia, but there are also many troubles to follow.

The Russians are certainly reluctant to give the Armenians a wealthy land to build their country. This new kingdom is likely to be unable to support so many people.

Expulsion into Persia has the lowest cost, but the means are too violent and can easily affect our international reputation."
