"Why is the budget so high?"

It ’s not that Franz is making a fuss. The initial investment of the Near East Development Plan is as high as 200 million Aegis. If this cost is calculated, the original planned 1 billion Aegis will not be able to complete the infrastructure construction.

If infrastructure is not up and immigration is not in place, private capital will naturally not come.Can not attract the influx of private capital, relying on government funding for development, the Vienna government can be dragged into bankruptcy.

Prime Minister Felix explained: "The main war has caused too much damage to the Near East beyond the government's previous expectations.

Most cities are ruins, and many cities have higher repair costs than reconstruction.

Mines, roads, bridges, and water conservancy facilities have been destroyed in the war, and they must be rebuilt.

The most troublesome thing is that the local production is completely lost, and many raw materials for the preliminary construction have to be transported from the country."

Franz has nothing to say, it's nothing to build a new city, but how about the city of Nuovo in the Near East?

To resettle the immigrants, it is impossible for everyone to stay in the city. The easiest way to recover is agriculture, mines, and factories.

Only people with jobs can keep people.The tertiary industry has not developed at all this year, and the core pillar is still the primary industry.

Money must be invested. The Ottoman Empire was won in order to obtain a stable rear.Without construction, a blank back is like Alaska to Russia.

After hesitating for a while, Franz said slowly: "Publish the plan to see if it can attract some investors in the past.

If part of the local industry can be restored and transportation from the local area reduced, the cost should be able to be reduced."

Today is different from the past. The current Vienna government is no longer the brutal force that could not wait for a shield to be divided into two flowers.

Even if the initial budget was overrun by tens of millions, Franz was only slightly surprised.Increasing the expenses of tens of millions of Aegis is nothing more than issuing tens of millions of Aegis bonds, not to mention the financial crisis.

It is normal for the government's previous budget to have errors.Everyone sat in the office, based on the analysis of the battle report data from the front, and looked at the map to make the budget.

Now that it has taken over the Near East, collected first-hand information, and re-budgeted, there will naturally be a gap.

...

Army Secretary Feslav submitted a document: "Your Majesty, this is a list of officers and soldiers who have neutralized the merits of the Near East War, and the Ministry of Army's disposal plan for post-war retirement and casualty compensation.

In this war, the military merits accumulated enough to conquer 286 officers and soldiers, a total of 71 of whom were promoted.

After the war, a total of 286,000 officers and soldiers need to be retired, of which 278,000 will be transferred to reserve after retirement, and subsidies of 87.689 million Aegis need to be paid.

In this war, a total of 14,134 soldiers were killed and disabled, and a pension of 6,675.36 thousand shields was required.

According to the local military reward field award standard, including the fallen soldiers, a total of 66,424 people are eligible to apply for military power field, and a total of 84,376 people who have some military power to meet the supplementary award field.

According to the wishes of the officers and soldiers or the families of the fallen soldiers, the total number of officers and soldiers who applied for military fields this time totaled 150,359, and the number of applications for granting fields was 11,764,800 hectares.

Because some officers and soldiers have applied to make up the difference, this part of funds can basically offset the retirement subsidies and casualty benefits."

There is no doubt that the cannon fodder is not within the scope of the statistics, otherwise the number of injuries and deaths can be increased by ten times.

In a country like Austria, war is the best chance to change fate.In a Near East War, more than 200 lucky people stood out.

It is actually more difficult to promote a knighthood than a knighthood. The military power required in the previous step is often several times higher than before, and the more difficult it is to move up.

But this is a small problem, as it is in any world, the narrower the road.

Jun Gong Tian is still as popular as ever, which makes Franz's heart hanging down.Anyway, the Near East is full of nowhere, and Franz does n’t mind leaving.

Military fields are popular, not only because these lands enjoy preferential tax treatment, but also with a lofty social status.

As long as conditions apply, no one will give up.Although it is not possible to buy or sell, it is no problem to change hands for rent.

The Near East area is a bit more remote than the local area, but the standards have also been relaxed, and you can get double the area compensation. If it is a mountain forest area, it can be higher.

Compared with overseas colonies, this area next to the mainland is still more popular.Not everyone likes to travel far, it is always good to be close to home.

Moreover, although the Ottoman Empire was a bit barbaric, everyone still admitted their position in their minds was slightly higher than the backcountry.

In this respect, it is good to sell life to the Austrian emperor.There is money and land.

As long as he does n’t die, after a few wars, he is a farmer. With good luck, he can directly counterattack and become a nobleman.

Even if the military is not enough, as long as there is such a thing, you can still apply for the field grant, but the area is limited.

In non-core territories, everyone is allowed to buy part of the land at a low price, and they also enjoy the military benefits.

This was a special policy adopted by the government of Vienna at the time when Franz could not pay his pension.

What was supposed to be cancelled later was that the Austrian empire expanded so much that it possessed a large area of ​​no land.

Land that has not been developed has no value, and it is certainly not enough to rely on the power of the government. Franz does not want to be the kind of nameless landlord, so this policy has continued.

There are more than a hundred thousand new farmers, including 8.8 million immigrants.With these heirlooms as the core of rule, after the immigration of millions, the Near East is stabilized.

According to the research of Austrian sociologists, the farmer is the most powerful man, and the best among them can produce a football team.

The material conditions are relatively favorable, the pressure on life is small, and there are few recreational activities in the countryside, which has become the main force for the population growth of Austria.

Against the backdrop of the rise of the bourgeoisie all over the world, the Austrian agrarian class has also grown.The new military aristocracy has injected new vitality into this class.

Austria ranks first in the world in terms of exporting agricultural products, monopolizing three-quarters of agricultural exports in the European market, and providing a material basis for farmers to grow.

Franz did not pay attention to the problem of the expansion of the farmer's class, where the innate upper limit is placed, subject to land resources.

The ability to grow against the times is that Austria has acquired a lot of land in the process of expansion.When the land is developed, it is the upper limit of the farmer class.

Of course, the farmer class is an important force as long as Austria does not decline and continues to monopolize the European agricultural product market by virtue of its geopolitical advantages.

Coupled with the political alliance with the nobility, it will be no problem to suppress the bourgeoisie for a long time to come.

As loyal supporters of imperial power, these people can carry guns to the battlefield at any time, and it is the nation's armed force.

With these pillars in place, even if it can't be suppressed, you can still overturn the table.

In theory, this kind of thing cannot happen.

The bourgeoisie of Austria cannot stand up. In addition to the lack of force, the existence of state-owned enterprises and royal consortia is also an effective check and balance.

If anyone floats, I do n’t know if it ’s thick.Within the scope of the rules, Franz can let him go bankrupt in minutes, and the consortium is no exception.

The capitalist world can speak with capital. Water, electricity, energy, and transportation are all stuck, and even the most powerful capitalists can't help it.

Unless you give up the entity to specialize in finance, if you really want to do this, you will not become a climate.The consortium is awesome that while they are rich, they also control the jobs of a large group of people.

Without these foundations, money is just a number.Its influence in society is very limited.

After taking over the document and glancing at it briefly, Franz said: "Send the cash first, and the government will implement the granting of land as soon as possible.

Taking into account the special situation in the Near East, the area can be determined first, and the specific land allocation is temporarily suspended.Relevant departments do a good job of explaining and explaining.

The noble prince ceremony was placed the day before Christmas.The cabinet is responsible for arranging related matters."
