The suddenly prosperous docks of East Prussia soon attracted the attention of the Berlin government. Such a fanfare of immigrants could not be kept secret at all, and the news was naturally leaked out early.

The protest letter of the Kingdom of Prussia, Franz did not take it as a matter at all, and the Foreign Ministry replied directly: It has nothing to do with us, go to the Russians.

That's right, if it weren't for the perverse actions of the Russians, even if they could have been fooled, such a large-scale exodus would not have been possible.

A million East Prussians can testify that they left to flee and that Austria was only carrying out humanitarian relief.

"Russia-Austria deal", is there any evidence? There is a price to pay for talking nonsense without evidence.

From the beginning to the end, the Vienna government did not show its head. The people who organized the departure were merchants from East Prussia, as well as the local church.

Berlin, since the receipt of news from the East Prussian region, Wilhelm I's face has not been better.

The Russians don't care about the population of East Prussia, it's because they are numerous, and besides, these people are a problem for them in themselves.

Sending the locals away, Alexander II could also reward the heroes with the land of East Prussia, which was simply a multiplicity.

The Kingdom of Prussia was different, with a small population, and East Prussia was the core of their painstaking management. Without the population of East Prussia, they would not have been able to find people to fill it.

With the exception of the occupation of the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein, which added a number of Germans, there were few Germans in the rest of the region.

Prime Minister Frank advised: "Your Majesty, the question of East Prussia is still considered later, and it is important to win the war now, and we are beyond the reach of the whip at present." ”

Prime Minister Frank saw the problem very accurately, the population of East Prussia was gone, and the sequelae were very serious, but it was based on the premise of winning the war.

If they lose this war, it won't be their territory anyway, and these troubles will naturally not exist.

Wilhelm I shook his head and said, "No, we must take action to delay the migration of the Austrians." Otherwise, when our army has passed, the area will be a blank field. ”

Fortunately, this war was provoked by the Junker nobles, otherwise the core area of the Junker nobles would have been lost, and William I really had no way to explain to them.

Now, what he did was nothing more than to take a stand and put on a political show for the Junker aristocracy to see.

Stopping the emigration of the Austrians, that's a joke. Emigration began from the beginning of the occupation of East Prussia by the Russians.

At first, hundreds or thousands of people left, but now tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people have left together. If you really want to stop it, you don't have to wait until now.

It's just that William I knew very well that he couldn't stop it at all, and it might cause more trouble, so he chose to pretend to be confused.

Now that things are getting bigger, the lid really can't be covered, so I have to bring the problem to the surface.

……

The end result, of course, was inconclusive, and they could do nothing but call on the local population to boycott the immigration.

Even this call may not be able to reach the people. The Russians would not help them with propaganda, and the Prussian government would face the Russians as soon as they entered East Prussia.

The people of East Prussia, the Russian army has already helped them make a decision. In order to speed up the pace of immigration, the Russian army organized a grain collection team and began to go to rural households.

Unlike before, when they were just looting, this time it was all about cutting off the possibility of them staying. If you don't leave quickly, you will be hungry in a short time.

By the end of September, most of the population of East Prussia had arrived in Austrian Africa, and a small part had been allocated to the South Seas and Central America.

Centralized placement does not exist, and Franz is not stupid, how can it be possible to leave them a chance to hold together? Nominally, of course, to make it easier for them to find a job.

After all, most of these immigrants are old and weak, women and children, and it is not easy to find a job. If they are placed together, where are there so many suitable positions for them?

It's easy to disperse, but it's hard to gather. These immigrants were everywhere in the world, and after the end of the war, it is estimated that many Prussian soldiers would have to embark on the road of thousands of miles to find their relatives.

……

Schönbrunn Palace, looking at the aggregated data, Franz was very satisfied. According to incomplete statistics, Austria fooled more than 800,000 immigrants from the Kingdom of Prussia during the war, including 730,000 in the Middle East and Prussia.

It is impossible to empty it all, there will always be diehards who do not want to leave, and Franz has never liked to be strong.

Since he chose to stay, it's none of his business. Whether these people can survive this war depends on whether God blesses or not.

The only pity was that the Danes were defeated too quickly, otherwise they would have been able to fool a large group of people from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein.

At present, what Austria lacks is no longer land and resources, but high-quality people are what Austria needs most.

Franz wanted to unify the German regions, mainly for the sake of the population. Otherwise, the 400,000 square kilometers of land is not worth paying attention to.

In particular, the poor strategic location is even more prohibitive. If Austria is sandwiched between France and Russia, then North Germany is sandwiched between Britain, France, Russia and Austria.

It can be said that with the unification of the German regions, the pressure on Austria's defense will at least double, if not more.

At the very least, the Mediterranean region did not need to face the British, and once the Suez Canal was opened, Austria's strategic environment could be further improved.

As for the fear of the British blockade, it is completely unfounded. To block the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal at the same time is simply not possible unless the Royal Navy comes out.

It's the 19th century, not the 21st century, and it's a myth that a random fleet can be deployed to block the coastline.

Don't dare to say anything else, raising a navy with half the strength of the Royal Navy, Franz is still confident that he can do it.

As a land power country, Franz dared to take the naval stud and fight a lose-lose war, and they would dare to take risks if they replaced the British?

Once the Royal Navy is seriously damaged, what will they rely on to hold the vast colony? In the face of interests, European countries will not be polite to them.

This was also a factor in Franz's frenzied emigration, because he feared that one day he would get involved with a naval power, and the navy would not be able to defend the colony.

Then it's time for the Army. In any important colony, a decent army can be formed, and who would dare to touch this nail?

Strategically speaking, the stronger the power, the more difficult it is to start a war. In particular, the likelihood of war will be further reduced after countries have been made aware of the high cost of war.

Farming is the king in these years, and it's just a matter of bullying the weak. If you fight with a powerful country, even if you win the war, you will lose strategically.

This is the experience that Franz summed up, and it can be specifically referred to the Near East War and the ongoing Russo-Prussian War, and the final victors were all fishermen watching the drama on the sidelines.

Franz admits that he is addicted to fishermanship and does not want to take the risk himself. This is not a bad thing, and a good politician must learn to be a fisherman.
