Holy Roman Empire

Even so, you must be able to speak German if you want to get through.How many of these refugees do you think are fluent in German? "

The long queue outside the Austrian embassy also benefited from the Berlin government's efforts to promote German in Poland.

It is a pity that the time is still too short, and coupled with the resistance of the Poles, there are not many people who can speak German proficiently, and a large part of them are immigrants from the Rhineland region.

Of course, this not much is also for all refugees.In fact, this is not many, there are tens of thousands of people.

After contemplating for a while, Contreras said fiercely: "In this case, then simply deport the refugees to the Kingdom of Prussia, and let the enemy have a headache."

Obodo sighed: "It's hard to do. There are so many refugees that they won't listen to our orders at all. Once the news spreads, the biggest possibility is that they will flee in all directions.

Besides, it won't be long before we attack the enemy again, and these refugees will be dealt with by us in the end. "

Contreras shook his head: "Opodo, you have changed, the original you will not be so indecisive.

Refugees will definitely not be deported completely, and we don't need to deport them all. As long as most of them are deported, the rest will not be able to make waves.

As for the future, we can wait until the time to talk about it. What we have to do now is to complete the task.After the war, we had plenty of time to deal with refugees. "

Opodo nodded: "Perhaps, people always have to grow. The lesson from the last time is enough, and now we have to think more about things, maybe this is the real me.

However, deporting refugees is still a very good proposal, at least more acceptable than massacring refugees, and perhaps this is what St. Petersburg wants to see. "

……

With Opodo's order, the Polish region was completely chaotic.

First of all, starting from the city, the Russian army did not have so much time to separate, and many citizens in tattered clothes also suffered indiscriminate disasters.

It made people panic, and ordinary people did not dare to go out easily, for fear of being treated as refugees.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

However, how could ordinary people be opponents of the army, and the Russian army is notoriously ruthless, and the way to deal with it is only one word - kill!

One person resists and kills one person, and 1000 people resist and kills a thousand.

In short, the Russians firmly believe that there is nothing that a butcher's knife can't solve. If there is, it must be that they haven't killed enough.

Facts have proved that the bloody storm caused by Opodo is very effective, and there is no need to line up to expel them. Seeing the shadow of the Russian army, the refugees ran away spontaneously.

For a while, the bandits and bandits disappeared, either running or hiding, leaving only the guerrillas fighting alone.

……

At the Austrian embassy in Warsaw, Minister Andrew was in a very bad mood. Since the Russian army expelled the refugees, the number of people applying for immigration has decreased instantly.

It's not that the Russians prevented Austria from accepting immigrants, mainly because while expelling refugees, they also expelled those who could have emigrated by the way.

It's not that the Russians did something deliberately, they were all mixed in the refugee pile. Unless they took the initiative to show their identities, otherwise the Russian soldiers would have no way to distinguish them.

Looking at the murderous Russian soldiers, there were too few people who dared to take the initiative to show their identities, and most of them drifted with the crowd and ran away with the large army.

By the time Minister Andrew reacted and protested to the Russians, it was already too late.Everyone has already left, why can't the Russians be rushed back?

Without the main force of refugees, the number of applicants for immigration dropped sharply in an instant. Unless the review criteria were relaxed, the immigration work would not be completed.

Podoka, the official in charge of immigration, asked: "Your Excellency, what do the Russians say?"

Andrew smiled wryly and replied: "Sorry, sorry, there is no way!"

This answer is too speechless, but it happens to be the truth.The Russians really have nothing to do now, and it is impossible for Austria to be entangled in this issue.

"Then what about our immigration work? You must know that not long ago we promised our country that we can get at least 30 immigrants in Poland.

Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that at most half of the tasks will be completed.Damn Slavic barbarian, he doesn't know how to use his brain when doing things..." Podoka complained angrily

Minister Andrew understood Bodoka's mood very well. No one would be happy if the cooked duck suddenly flew away.It's just that the matter has come to this point, and it's useless to scold.

"Mr. Podoka, now is not the time to complain. It is better to report the matter to the country as soon as possible. The next thing is beyond our ability to deal with.

However, judging from the current situation, there is no way around the country.After the Russians deported the refugees to Prussia, I am afraid that these people will also be abolished. "

Podoka nodded, he understood what Minister Andrew meant. "Abandoned" does not mean that the body is useless, but mainly refers to the spirit.

When the Prussian army controlled the Warsaw area, relief food was distributed once a week, and the refugees could still abide by the basic social order.

As soon as the Russians came, they stopped the relief food, and the social order was naturally broken.Those with reserves are still struggling, while those without reserves are already looking for a living outside.

Digging wild vegetables, gnawing bark, or falling grass as bandits.The Russians had just arrived, and the famine broke out for a short time. Everyone was still alive, and most of them still kept their senses.

With the expulsion of the Russian army, this crisis will be magnified, and there is not so much food on the road.Once a person is extremely hungry, he can do anything.

"Changing children and eating" is not just a historical allusion, but it will begin to be staged soon.

People who have experienced this kind of thing, even if they survived, are no longer real people, they can only be regarded as upright animals walking upright, completely abolished mentally.

Chapter 283 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 Poland, and the Russians are unable to provide relief. There are only two options to maintain local stability: deportation or massacre.

The only option for the Russians was expulsion, not because the tsarist government did not have the courage to raise the butcher's knife, but mainly because the butcher's knife would inevitably lead to the intervention of the international community.

It is now the late 19th century, the rules of the game have been formulated, and wanton 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. Now the Russo-Prussian War is not over yet. The Tsarist government does not want to be isolated diplomatically, so it has to abide by the rules of the game.

The Russian army began to expel refugees, and Austrian immigration work would naturally be affected. Even with the full cooperation of the Tsarist government, it was impossible for Russian soldiers to identify every refugee.

In this era of turmoil and constant communication, no matter how hard the immigration agency tries, it is impossible to notify everyone.

Apart from setting up fixed immigration points in the city, the immigration agency can do little work, even when going out of the city, you have to be careful.

There is no social order in the world outside the city, bandits and bandits don't care if you are Austrian or not, they treat you equally - rob.

Putting down the telegram in his hand, Franz said nonchalantly: "This is the end of the matter, no matter what you do, it won't help.

Difficulties encountered by immigrants are caused by force majeure, not someone's responsibility, and no accountability is required for failing to complete the previous plan.

Tell the staff in Poland to keep themselves safe.Try to let the Russians send troops to protect them when traveling, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for coordination. "

Austria has a complete assessment and accountability system. Officials who do a good job are their achievements, which will be used as the main reference for promotion; otherwise, they will be held accountable if they fail to complete their tasks. If there are problems, their official career will basically be over.

However, there are exceptions to everything. If it is caused by force majeure, and the official has no obvious personal fault, he does not need to bear the responsibility.

There is no doubt that what happened in Poland is force majeure, and the Vienna government cannot stop it, let alone the staff below?

With such a good opportunity, Franz naturally wants to buy people's hearts.The words of concern are not only spoken to those officials in Poland, but also to domestic officials.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Foreign Secretary Weisenberg replied.

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

Many refugees crossed mountains and ridges and sneaked in from the forests.From the outbreak of the Russo-Prussian War to the present, the border guards have arrested more than 10 people who crossed the border illegally.

Especially after the Russians began to deport refugees, this situation became more serious. Thousands of refugees deliberately crossed the border and were arrested every day. "

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

This also involves issues left over from history. There are many relatives on the Obo border, many refugees who illegally crossed the border, and local people provide them with cover.

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

There is no doubt that these organizations are all for profit.Those who have money will pay smuggling fees, and those who have no money will directly arrange to enter black factories or construction sites.

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

Naturally, the Vienna government will crack down on such illegal and criminal activities that seriously endanger social security in Austria.

It's a pity that the results are minimal. Illegal immigrant organizations are like leeks, one crop will soon grow another crop.

In contrast, illegal immigrants who seek relatives and friends are more peaceful.Most of these people are hiding in the countryside, and relatives and friends will find ways to arrange their livelihoods.

After a few years of learning the Austrian language, most of these people will apply for naturalization.The method is very simple. Go to the border and 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 turning a blind eye.

This is the reality. Sometimes it is rare to be confused. People themselves say that they are Germans, so the government is naturally too lazy to delve into it.Otherwise, the proportion of the main ethnic groups in Austria will not always be on the rise.

For details, you can refer to the Galicia region. In 1848, the local Germans were less than one-tenth. By 1880, it had risen to 38.6%, surpassing Poles and Ukrainians to become the largest ethnic group.

Under normal circumstances, this is impossible to happen, but in reality it really happened.What happened in the middle, Franz didn't know, and didn't want to know.

It may seem self-defeating, but it actually works.They merged in on their own initiative, and there is no need to doubt their degree of recognition. If anyone doubts their nationality, they will be anxious.

In essence, European nations are a mess, and most of them were artificially separated by later generations. The 19th century was the last chance 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 they will have to go through wars behind the Kingdom of Prussia.

Except for the Kingdom of Prussia, only Russia and Austria border Poland. As long as they are not tired of living, they will not go to Russia, so they can only go to Austria.

If it were not for the fact that the Russian army deliberately drove refugees to the Kingdom of Prussia, more people might have gone to Austria.

In a sense, those who are now running to the border of Obo are either the lucky ones or the smart ones.

Not to mention that it is not safe to go to the Kingdom of Prussia, and you may not be able to get relief.Going to Austria is different. No matter how brutal the Russian army is, it will not do things in the border area.

Under normal circumstances, as long as they enter the default buffer zone of both sides, the Russian army will stop.

When you get here, if you can fool around and pass the border, try your best to muddle through. If you can't pass the border, you can go through the border illegally. As long as you are smarter and surrender when you see the defenders, there will be someone in charge.

As for the future?

Why think so much, let's just survive now.

Anyway, Austria is a country ruled by law. As long as you don't break through the barriers violently, being caught is nothing more than two results: imprisonment or exile.

After pondering for a while, Franz slowly said: "The establishment of temporary refugee camps in the border area will increase the number of people passing through the border in the future. Not only the Aobo border, but the Aobo border will also become a high-incidence area for refugee influx.

The number of refugees this time is probably an astronomical figure, and our prisons may not even be able to accommodate them.Throw them all to the colony, and management will be a big trouble.

Prime Minister, there is a large domestic project that needs to be built, and now a batch of free labor is coming to your door, so it cannot be wasted. "

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

This is a matter of principle, Franz will not break the rules.It is already a manifestation of his conscience that he is willing to spend money to build a refugee camp. There is no such thing as free relief to refugees from other countries these days.

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

The Ministry of Agriculture plans to build 0.3 large and medium-sized reservoirs in the next ten years; the Ministry of Railways plans to build the Arabian Peninsula Railway and the Middle East Railway; 8.5%..."

A series of big plans made Franz seem to have returned to the era of great construction in Austria.But he was well aware that it was distinctly different.

Back then, Austria focused on infrastructure construction all over the country. Although these plans are huge now, only a part of the energy from the government is enough.

The expansion of canals and the construction of reservoirs, the problems of these projects are all focused on "money", and there is no difficulty in technology.

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

Austria has experience in building railways in the desert, but they are all short-distance. This time, it is not at the same level to build desert railways of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers.

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

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

The drop of most rivers in Europe is relatively small, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of using hydropower. If it weren't for Austria's many rivers, no one would think of promoting hydropower.

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

Don't ask about hydropower station technology, that's because the construction of hydropower stations in Austria is mostly private investment, capitalists are smarter than anyone else, and no one will do business that loses money.

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

Considering the threat of sandstorms, in areas where sandstorms occur frequently, desert roads will be built first, and railways will not be built for the time being.These are mainly inland feeder railways that need to consider these issues.

Most of the areas that the Middle East Railway and the Circum-Arabian Peninsula Railway pass through 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 so far. As long as we don't catch up with the big sandstorm, we can have a good protective effect, but it takes a long time. "

Franz nodded. These days, the Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula have not been as badly damaged as later generations. Especially after Austria occupied these areas, it immediately implemented policies such as land fallow and prohibition of livestock breeding to protect the natural environment.

"Let's proceed according to the plan. The government is responsible for allocating these free labors and sending language teachers to educate them.

Remember to kick out the lawbreakers here first, and the rest depends on individual performance. Good performance can be treated slightly better, and activists can end their hard labor early.

After the hard labor is over, they are allowed to leave freely, and those who are willing to stay are paid normal labor wages.

Elderly and weak family members of refugees can be given preferential treatment, and they can be resettled in areas with better conditions as much as possible. "

Preferential treatment of the elderly and the weak is not the Franz Virgin. Those who can flee with their children will not be bad in character. If they are dragged down by their children, these people are often the easiest to assimilate.
