The difficulties encountered in the work of immigrants did not come as a surprise to Franz. This is a corollary, and it cannot be prevented by individual will.

There are millions of refugees in Poland, and the Russians are powerless to provide them, and there are only two options to maintain local stability: deportation or massacre.

The only option the Russians had was expulsion, not that the tsarist government did not have the courage to raise the butcher's knife, but that the butcher's knife together would inevitably invite the intervention of the international community.

It is now the late 19th century, the rules of the game have been laid out, and the wanton destruction of the rules is bound to be ostracized by the European world.

The Russian Empire at its peak was naturally not afraid of offending the European world, and now unlike the Russo-Prussian War, which has not yet ended, the tsarist government does not want to be diplomatically isolated, so it must abide by the rules of the game.

The Russian army began to expel refugees, and the migration of Austria would naturally be affected, even if the tsarist government fully cooperated, and it was impossible for the Russian soldiers to distinguish every refugee.

In this era of war and chaos, no matter how hard the immigration department tries, it is impossible to notify everyone.

There is not much that the immigration department can do other than to set up permanent settlements in the city, and even go out of the city to be careful.

There is no social order in the world outside the city, and bandits and bandits don't care if you are Austrian or not, everyone is the same - robbery.

Putting down the telegram in his hand, Franz said casually: "The matter has come to this, no matter what you do, it will not help."

The difficulties encountered by immigrants are caused by force majeure, not the responsibility of one person, and they do not need to be held accountable if they fail to complete their previous plans.

Tell the staff in Poland to keep them safe. The Russians should send troops to protect the travel as much as possible, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for coordination. ”

Austria has a complete assessment and accountability system, and a good job of officials is a political achievement, which will be used as the main reference basis for promotion; On the contrary, if you can't complete the task, you need to be held accountable, and if there is a problem, your career is basically over.

However, there are exceptions to everything, and if it is caused by force majeure and there is no obvious fault on the part of the official, he is also not liable.

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

With such a good opportunity, Franz naturally wants to buy people's hearts. If you are concerned, not only to Polish officials, but also to domestic officials.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Foreign Secretary Wesenberg replied.

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

Many refugees crossed mountains and sneaked into the mountains and forests. Since the outbreak of the Russo-Prussian War, border guards have arrested more than 100,000 illegal border crossers.

This situation became even more aggravated by the fact that the Russians began to expel refugees, with thousands of refugees being caught deliberately breaking through the border every day. ”

From the outbreak of the Russo-Prussian War, illegal border crossings were a problem that plagued the Viennese government, and the reality was much more serious than Felix had suggested.

This also involves the legacy of history, as there are many people with relatives along the Austro-Po border, many refugees who have illegally crossed the border, and local people who provide cover for them.

In addition to this, there are a large number of illegal immigrant organizations that exist. These groups have hidden mountain trails and organize the smuggling of refugees from Polish regions.

There is no doubt that these organizations are all for profit. Those who have money will pay smuggling fees, and those who don't have 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 immigrants.

The Vienna Government naturally wants to crack down on such illegal and criminal activities that seriously endanger public order in Austria.

Unfortunately, with little success, illegal immigrant organizations are like leeks, cutting one stubble and growing another stubble very quickly.

In contrast, illegal immigrants who seek refuge with relatives and friends are more reassuring. Most of these people are hiding in the countryside, and relatives and friends will find ways to make a living.

After a few years of learning the Austrian language, most of these people will apply for naturalization. The method is very simple, run to the border and pretend to be a citizen of the HRE living in Poland, there is no way to check so many German states.

Well, the latter is the result of the Vienna government turning a blind eye.

The reality is that sometimes it is rare to be confused, and people themselves say that they are Germans, and the government naturally does not bother to delve into it. Otherwise, the proportion of Austria's main ethnic groups would not have been on the rise.

In Galicia, where the Germans were less than one-tenth in 1848, rose to 38.6% in 1880, surpassing the Poles and Ukrainians to become the largest ethnic group.

Under normal circumstances, this could not have happened, but in reality it did. What happened in the middle, Franz did not know and did not want to know.

It may seem like self-deception, but it actually works. People are actively integrated, and there is no doubt about the degree of identity, and if anyone questions their ethnicity, they will have to be anxious with whom.

In essence, the European nation is a mess, most of which were artificially split up by later generations, and the 19th century was the last opportunity for European national integration.

The influx of refugees into Austria was an inevitable consequence, and everyone knew that the Kingdom of Prussia was no match for the Russians, and that there would be war behind the Kingdom of Prussia.

In addition to the Kingdom of Prussia, Russia and Austria are left on the border with Poland, and as long as they are not tired, they will not run to Russia, so they can only go to Austria.

If it weren't for the Russian army's intention to drive the refugees to the Kingdom of Prussia, there might have been even more to go to Austria.

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

Not to mention the fact that it is not safe to run to the Kingdom of Prussia, it is not necessarily possible to get relief. It's different with Austria, no matter how brutal the Russian army is, it won't do anything in the border areas.

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

If you can get through the customs here, you can mix it up as much as possible, and if you can't get through, you can break through it illegally, as long as you are smarter and surrender when you see the defenders, you will have someone in charge of the food.

As for the future?

Why do you think about it so much, for now, let's survive first.

Anyway, Austria is a country ruled by law, as long as it is not a profiteering pass, being caught is nothing more than two outcomes: imprisonment and exile.

After pondering for a while, Franz said slowly: "Establish a temporary refugee camp in the border area, and the number of people who break through the border will increase in the future." Not only the Austro-Polish border, but also the Austro-Prussian border will become a high-risk area for refugee influx.

The number of refugees this time is probably astronomical, and maybe our prisons will not be able to fit it. Throw all the colonies away, and management is also a big trouble.

Prime Minister, there are some big projects that need to be built in the country, and now there is a batch of free labor sent to the door, and it cannot be wasted. ”

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

This is a matter of principle, and Franz will not break the rules. His willingness to pay for the establishment of a refugee camp is already a manifestation of his conscience, and there is no talk of providing free relief to refugees from other countries in these years.

Prime Minister Felix: "The Ludwig Canal in Bavaria (the predecessor of the Main-Danube Canal) is no longer sufficient and the government is looking at whether to expand it.

The Ministry of Agriculture plans to build 50 large and medium-sized reservoirs in the next 10 years; The Ministry of Railways plans to build the Arabian Peninsula Railway and the Middle East Railway; The Ministry of Electricity is ready to push forward with the hydropower plant plan, which plans to increase the proportion of hydropower from the current 0.3% to 8.5% in the next 10 years......"

A series of big plans made Franz feel like he had returned to the era of Austrian construction. But he was well aware that it was markedly different.

In the past, Austria was a national effort to build infrastructure, and now these projects are huge, but only a part of the government's efforts are sufficient.

The expansion of the canal and the construction of reservoirs are all about "money", and there is no difficulty in technology.

The railway plan and the hydroelectric power station are different, in addition to economic problems, there are also technical problems.

Austria has experience in the construction of railways in the desert, but they are all short-distance, and this time it is not a grade to build hundreds or even thousands of kilometers of desert railways.

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

This can be seen from the amount of electricity generated, which is almost negligible because hydropower accounts for only three thousandths of the total electricity generated.

Most of Europe's rivers have relatively small drops, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of using hydroelectric power, and if it weren't for the large number of rivers in Austria, it is estimated that no one would think of promoting hydropower.

Franz asked, "Is the technical problem of the desert railway solved?" ”

Regardless of the technology of hydropower plants, it is because most of the construction of hydropower plants in Austria is privately invested, and the capitalists are smarter than anyone else, and no one will do the business that loses money.

Prime Minister Felix replied: "The preliminary solution has been preliminarily solved, and the Ministry of Railways plans to build a sand control forest, planting shrubs, jujube trees, poplars, and sand-fixing herbs on both sides of the railway.

In view of the threat of sandstorms, desert roads should be built first in areas with frequent sandstorms, and railways should not be built for the time being. These are mainly feeder railways that go deep inland, and these issues need to be considered.

Most of the areas that the China Eastern Railway and the Arabian Peninsula Rim Railway will pass through are desert areas, and many areas are affected by wind and sand, which is not a real desert, and the sand control forest is enough.

We've tried it, and so far it's working well, as long as you don't catch up with the big sandstorm, you can have a good protection effect, but it will take a little longer. ”

Franz nodded, the Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula in these years have not been as devastated as later generations, especially after Austria occupied these areas, it also implemented policies such as land fallow and prohibiting animal husbandry for the first time to protect the natural environment.

"Let's go according to the plan, the government is responsible for the distribution of these free labor, and the language teachers are sent to educate them.

Remember to kick out the lawbreakers first, and the rest depends on the individual's performance, the treatment of good performance can be slightly better, and the activists can end their labor early.

At the end of their servitude, they are allowed to leave freely, and those who wish to stay are paid the regular wages of labor.

Refugees and their family members may be given certain preferential treatment and resettled in areas with better conditions as much as possible. ”

Preferential treatment of the old and weak is not Our Lady Franz, who can flee with their families and children, their character will not be bad, and they are dragged down by their families, and these people are often the easiest to assimilate.
