The pros and cons are obvious, and Franz has a headache. It seems that all three plans are good, but in fact, none of them are very reliable.

On the surface, Austria had many colonies, and a random division of land could accommodate millions of people.

But in fact, if you really go to the land, the situation will change. The African continent doesn't have to think about it, it's the home of the future.

The South Seas region seems to be good, but in fact there are not many islands that can accommodate millions of people, and Franz of New Guinea is reluctant to let them go anyway.

And then there was no then, and the population of Kalimantan was over 10 million, and there were not so many borderlands.

Perhaps in the future, the surrounding islands will be able to accommodate millions of people, but not now.

Franz still has a bottom line, and there is no way to die on the battlefield. After the war, he deliberately created a man-made disaster that starved millions of people to death, and he couldn't do it.

Of course, this bottom line is limited to not doing it yourself. If someone else was doing it, Franz couldn't see it.

Oh, it's still okay to condemn it. No more, then there is no way, the world is so cruel, Our Lady will not survive in the 19th century.

Unlike the later generations with abundant materials, if the emperor was overflowing with sympathy in these years, he would have died the country.

The Americas are also a problem, Alaska is very large and rich in resources, especially gold has already begun to be mined, and the Vienna government will certainly not let go.

Austrian Central America is the core of the American strategy and cannot be harmed. All that's left is the islands of the Arctic Ocean and the Patagonian plateau in South America.

Everyone knows that the islands in the Arctic Ocean are not suitable for human habitation, ordinary people cannot survive, and it is okay to exile diehards.

If these millions of people are sent over, it is estimated that there will be no one in a hundred who will survive by then, and there will be no difference between it and a direct sudden attack.

Patagonia is not a good place either, at least not before it was developed, not so much to resettle people as to the scourge of Chile and Argentina.

The fact that the colonies have been opened up for so many years, and only a few hundred thousand immigrants from Austria is enough to explain a lot.

It's not that the Vienna government doesn't want to increase immigration, it's just that the natural conditions are so bad that the immigrants will go to Chile or Argentina on their own.

Those who stayed were all because of their work, and there was the development of mineral resources in the local area, and all the agriculture and animal husbandry were concentrated in the river valley plains, and the development was large farms.

The latter two plans are even more pitiful, according to the plan, the Kingdom of Ameria is only tens of thousands of square kilometers, and at most only more than 100,000 square kilometers.

No matter how many Russians refuse to give, this little land will certainly have no problem feeding hundreds of thousands of Armenians, and a few more will be starving.

The expulsion of refugees into Persia is equally unreliable. If the people left on their own initiative, Franz didn't mind pushing it, and it would be too much to force the eviction.

After hesitating for a while, Franz made a compromise: "Send immigrants to the Americas first, and the government will subsidize them, and let the capitalists find a way to send people in."

The focus is on the United States of America, with a subsidy of 40 shields for every immigration sent over, and a subsidy of 35 shields for other countries, and we will find ways to resettle the rest. ”

This is a sky-high price, the price of white slaves in the underground black market is generally about 10 pounds, and the price of black slaves is about 25 pounds, and they are all young and strong.

Now there is no need to risk the slave trade, just send people there and receive subsidies from the Vienna government.

Franz believed in the subjective initiative of the capitalists, and as long as the interests were in place, nothing could not be done.

It is very troublesome to send these millions of people to one place alone, but it is not a big deal to disperse them all over the world.

Franz was not worried that these people would be driven out, the immigration countries were basically more men than women, and these refugees were the opposite, the young and strong died on the battlefield, and the rest were mostly old and weak, women and children.

In the Ottoman Empire, where the average annual life expectancy was in the thirties, more than thirty-five years old could be regarded as an old man, and those over fifty years old were rare.

……

St. Petersburg, seeing that the war was coming to an end, the issue of the distribution of spoils was also put on Alexander's agenda.

Today, unlike in the past, the protagonist of this war in the Near East has become Austria, and the Russian Empire has become auxiliary.

"Take people softly, eat people with short mouths."

The Vienna government's supplies were also difficult to obtain, and the logistics of the war were all provided by Austria, and the tsarist government naturally had to pay the price in the distribution of the spoils after the war.

Alexander III asked expressionlessly: "Outside the scope of our agreement, the Vienna government has made a new request.

What do you think of their desire to prepare for the Armenians to become an independent state, as a buffer between the two countries, in the Caucasus, which belongs to us? ”

Anyone who knew Alexander III knew that a blank face meant that His Majesty the Tsar was very unhappy, but good upbringing allowed him to restrain his emotions.

Of course, being able to restrain your emotions means that the situation is not too bad, and you don't have to worry about being driven home to farm if you don't agree with each other.

It is normal for the tsar to have a temper, and among the tsars of all generations, Alexander III is considered to be a good servant, at least he will not kill ministers.

The Minister of the Interior, Zilnomel, pretended to be angry and said, "Your Majesty, this kind of thing must not be agreed. The border between Russia and Austria stretches for tens of thousands of miles, where is the need for any buffer? ”

Ten thousand miles is still a little exaggerated, but there are still seven or eight thousand miles.

The two large countries are next to each other, and in order to reduce the conflict, they naturally need a buffer zone, but unfortunately the long border between Russia and Austria determines that the buffer cannot be maintained.

Russia and Austria can also be regarded as world relations, and since the beginning of the war against France, the two sides have become allies. Although the halfway covenant was broken, the alliance relationship in essence never ended.

Over the generations, everyone has become accustomed to it. Except that the rulers were worried about each other's threats, the people had no concept of that at all.

Finance Minister Alisher Gulov objected: "You can't say that, Russia and Austria are both big countries, and it's better to have a shorter border line."

As early as more than a decade ago, it was proposed that the two countries exchange territory in order to shorten the border line and reduce the possibility of conflict between the two countries. It's just that because of the geographical location, we couldn't reach an agreement in the end.

The Austrians wanted the Amerians to establish an independent state, and it was certainly not just because of an illusory promise, it was most likely that the Viennese government was tempting.

What couldn't be done back then doesn't mean you can't do it now.

Didn't the Vienna government offer compensation, perhaps they wanted to take advantage of our financial difficulties and pay for the purchase of the Asia Minor peninsula in order to reduce the border between the two countries.

I thought it would be better to get in touch with it first, and if the compensation given by the Austrians was appropriate, it would be possible to carve out a barren land for the Armenians to establish a state. ”

There are pros and cons to the long border, which could increase conflict and mean that the two governments would have to think more carefully about their relationship.

If war breaks out, it really can't be defended. If you can fight, I can fight, and if you decide the winner and lose, you will lose both.

The Russian-Austrian friendship is no longer simply based on the union of interests, but also contains the helplessness of the two governments. The cost of being an enemy is too high, and everyone can only be allies.

Every time a "territorial deal" was mentioned, the tsarist government thought of Alaska in the distance, leaving it with endless remorse.

Of course, Alexander III was rational, not the people who were angry. He knew very well that it was also a helpless move to pay off Alaska's debts in the first place.

If Alaska is not lost to Austria, with the strength of the Russian Empire, it will not be able to keep that permafrost.

Regardless of the fact that only the Bering Strait is separated, in fact it is an insurmountable moat, and the distance determines that the ability of the tsarist government to project forces is almost zero.

At that time, in the face of the threat of British Canadian colonies, the introduction of Austrian power was the best option.

As for gold, Alexander III was indeed hot-eyed, but he couldn't stand the limited strength of the Russian Empire, so he couldn't hold that treasure land at all.
