In the industrial age, the Berlin government had recognized the importance of the population, especially the workforce with a certain level of knowledge.

The Kingdom of Prussia is the first country in the world to complete compulsory education, and the Rhineland region is the most industrially developed area of the Kingdom of Prussia, where a large number of basic talents have gathered.

These talents are exactly what the Kingdom of Prussia needs most at the moment. In the initial stage of industrial development, there is not much demand for high-skilled talents, but the demand for ordinary skilled workers is the greatest.

After the outbreak of the second industrial revolution, Austria was able to surpass Britain and France, not because of how advanced Austria's technology was, nor how great Franz's prophetic ability was, but because of the large number of engineers.

Without enough basic talents, no matter how advanced the technology is, it cannot be quickly transformed into industrial production.

With the development of industrial technology, there is an increasing demand for basic talents. In later generations, all countries were engaged in compulsory education, which was the result of market reverse.

The old empire of the original time and space was sitting on abundant resources, but it fell behind in the second industrial revolution, which was lost in the number of basic talents.

By the time they reacted, it was too late. It's impossible for a competitor to stand still and give you decades to develop talent.

The Kingdom of Prussia has always maintained a high investment in military spending, and the domestic economy has not collapsed, in addition to the strong political skills of the Berlin government, the superiority of the quality of the population is also an important factor.

Theoretically, anyone who has completed compulsory education has the potential to become an ordinary skilled worker. It's not impossible to become an engineer if you put in the effort.

Most low-end engineers are grown up as skilled workers, and basic cultural knowledge is a necessary condition for this.

If someone counts it, they will find that although the population of the Kingdom of Prussia is far lower than that of Britain and France, the number of basic engineers is not much higher than that of Britain and France.

If only the Kingdom of Prussia was developed, there would certainly be enough talent, and Wilhelm I would not have paid so much attention to the work of emigration, the point is that there is still the Kingdom of Poland to be developed.

During the tsarist government, serfdom was practiced in Poland, education was the preserve of a few, and ordinary people were purely illiterate.

After Poland became independent, although it abolished slavery and made great efforts to develop education, the results were not optimistic.

When formulating policies, idealistic governments have always only looked at the surface and acted as they pleased, completely ignoring the actual situation.

The Polish government ignores the fact that there is a shortage of teachers and finances, and blindly follows the trend of compulsory education, even going further than that of Austria.

The ideas are all good, but the reality does not allow it, and in the end the plan can only stay on paper. Except for the construction of a few face-saving engineering schools to serve the children of the powerful, the actual significance to the country is equal to zero.

Now that the Pop-Po Confederation has been established and the task of developing Poland has fallen to the Berlin government, the demand for qualified personnel has naturally increased greatly.

William I: "Whatever we do, we must emigrate as much as we can." The industrial development of the country needed talents, and the assimilation of the Polish regions also required immigrants.

The former Polish revolutionaries, led by Dombrowski, have been restless lately, and they have been resisting national integration efforts, and the government has a very heavy task ahead. ”

For the Kingdom of Prussia, Poland was still too large to swallow in one gulp. In order to stabilize the situation in Poland, the Berlin government had to compromise with the local Polish faction.

However, the compromise is also divided into objects, and the former Polish government headed by Dombrowski is the one who suffers the most from the Purple-Polish merger, and there is absolutely no possibility of compromise between the two sides.

When he first arrived, in order to maintain local stability, even if he knew that the former Polish government was secretly making small moves, Wilhelm I could not do anything to them.

You can't move on the bright side, but it's still indispensable to wear small shoes within the rules.

Moltke persuaded: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. In the future, the government's focus will still be on resettlement.

The biggest problem now is the corruption of the Polish government, the federal government has just been established, and it is not convenient for us to be ruthless in order to maintain local stability.

When the situation stabilizes, the government will conduct an evaluation of public officials, kick out those who are derelict in their duties and corruption, and purge Poland of its officials. ”

There must be a post-autumn reckoning, but it can't be now. Although the former Polish government was ousted, the strength of the revolutionary party should not be underestimated.

In particular, the army formed by the Polish government in the later period was all cronies cultivated by the revolutionary party. Although the combat effectiveness of these troops is not good. But there are still tens of thousands. If it's really urgent, it's not good to have a fish die and the net is broken.

Originally, Prussia's annexation of the Kingdom of Poland would have been a bit far-fetched, and if another civil war broke out. That hurt the morale of the people in the country too much.

The method adopted by the Berlin government was to boil frogs in warm water, and the defeat of the Polish army in the Russo-Polish war provided the Berlin government with an opportunity to intervene in the army.

Under the pretext of war losses, Wilhelm I took the opportunity to abolish the number of the four infantry divisions of the Kingdom of Poland, and the remaining troop strength was also reduced to varying degrees.

Of course, at the same time as the reduction of the establishment, Wilhelm I was also expanding the armament. This is not a contradiction, the troops that have been retrenched have all been defeated on the battlefield.

If it is a heroic unit that has won a battle, it is naturally impossible to dismantle it. The problem is that the Polish army lost, and it lost badly, then the reduction of the number became justified.

Rebuilding the new number, the remaining officers of the original army are destined to be marginalized. As a general of the defeated army, even if they are retired, no one can say anything.

William I did not do so much, these people were partly transferred to the reserves, and partly remained in the active forces, it depended on the sidelines.

The Polish army was trained by the Prussians, and the pro-Prussian faction was naturally indispensable. When forming a new unit, it is natural to give priority to one's own people.

After some manipulation, the armed forces of the revolutionary party have been reduced by half, and this is the confidence of William I to move the revolutionary party.

Now that he was opposed by the Prime Minister, William I was very unhappy. However, his city is deep, and even a powerful minister like Bismarck can endure it in the original time and space, and he can naturally accept Moltke's uprightness.

Capable people usually have a big temper, which makes William I very helpless.

After thinking rationally for a moment, William I nodded: "Then wait a little longer!" Gather evidence now and settle accounts together in the future. ”

William I had long passed the age of youth and vigor, and he liked to think twice before doing anything, and after realizing the possible risks, he decisively chose to take a step back and open the sky.

Foreign Secretary Jeffrey Friedman reminded: "Your Majesty, the International Conference on the Holocaust in West Asia is about to be held in Jerusalem, and we need to make a choice.

The current situation in the country is still uncertain, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends that it continue to maintain neutrality and avoid participating in the diplomatic game of Britain, France and Austria. ”

The international situation is either uncertain or completely chaotic. Britain, France, and Austria are both cooperating and confrontational, causing European diplomats to have a nervous breakdown.

Blindly "taking sides" in this context is very easy to suffer. What if you just stood in line and offended someone, and the boss above suddenly reconciled?

There is nothing that cannot be discussed in the face of interests, and the cooperation between Britain, France, and Austria is also because of interests, and the confrontation between them is also because of interests.

Thankfully, the three parties are very rational now, and even if there is a confrontation, they do not pull everyone into the water and limit the confrontation to the rules.

……

In Vienna, while the Prussians were hesitating, negotiations between Britain, France and Austria on the division of interests began in secret.

One of the most important reasons why great powers are great powers is that they are thick-skinned.

It seems that Britain, France and Austria are checking and balancing each other, but this is just a superficial effort for the outside world to see. Secretly, everyone has long been sitting at the negotiating table, arguing about the ownership of interests.

The West Asian question is just a shadow, and the conflict between the Ottomans and Persia, standing on the position of Britain, France and Austria, is actually a child's play.

The refugees are almost dead, and there is no need to talk about it anymore. In this era of the jungle, "right and wrong" is the least worth arguing.

The international community would not sanction the Ottomans for the fact that the Ottoman Empire had caused great damage to Persia by expelling refugees into Persia.

Similarly, the international community will not hold the Persian Government accountable for the massacre of the refugees.

In addition to verbal condemnation, it is more about the division of interests among Britain, France and Austria, which is the main problem now.
