Obodo was still confused when he received the order from the headquarters, but after wandering around the street and looking at the beggars everywhere, he understood what was going on.

Most of the main forces of the Russian army will be concentrated in the Polish region, and under normal circumstances, it will definitely not be the turn of the Fourth Army, which is seriously injured.

Putting them on this task now will definitely not be trust. With his relationship with Marshal Ivanov, the task of easy meritorious service will certainly not be his share.

After carefully studying the information sent by the headquarters, Opodo was mixed. Accepting this task means that the previous matter is revealed, and there is no need to worry about being held accountable by the military court.

Unfortunately, the task of clearing Poland was not easy to do, and even though Ivanov had ordered other troops to cooperate with the Fourth Army, Opodo was not sure to complete the task within the stipulated time.

Putting down the documents in his hand, Obodo instructed a young officer: "Invite representatives of the Third, Sixth, Seventh, and Fifth Armies to come and discuss the suppression of bandits." ”

"Wait!"

The one who stopped was Contreras, the chief of staff of the Fourth Army, a middle-aged man with a long beard.

"Commander, it's not that simple. As far as I know, the Third and Sixth Armies have sent troops on several occasions, killing more than 100,000 bandits, but still to no avail.

If the problem cannot be solved at the source, no matter how many bandits are killed, the Polish region will not be stabilized. ”

Everyone knows this problem, but no one is willing to take responsibility, and no one pierces the window paper.

Obodo is also lucky, if he can solve the problem by force and deterrence, he will not have to bear the infamy.

Unlike Obodo, who was the commander of the army, Contreras was much less stressed.

Under normal circumstances, people only remember the coach, except for Opodo, who is also scolded, as long as he is low-key as the chief of staff, no one knows him.

From Contreras's standpoint, it is imperative to complete the task as soon as possible and atone for the mistakes of the last unauthorized action.

People are realistic, Lieutenant General Opodo has a high prestige in the Fourth Army, but it is all in the past, and since the failure of the last operation, his prestige has fallen to the bottom.

No one would be convinced of a general who lost a battle, although strictly speaking, Opodo did not defeat a battle.

Although the Fourth Army suffered heavy losses, it also bought enough time for the main force and played an important strategic role.

Obodo waved his hand helplessly: "Theoretically speaking, this is true, but my chief of staff, are you sure you want to solve the problem from the source?"

These are millions of Polish refugees, do you have any other way than to make an example of them and deter them by force? ”

No one wants to be infamy as a "butcher", which will be remembered for thousands of years. Opodo still wanted to struggle, and he would not be willing to do so until he had to.

Contreras tentatively asked: "Maybe we can consider sending them away, don't the Austrians need immigrants, sell them a favor, and send the refugees to them." ”

Obodo shook his head: "If the Austrians were willing to accept it, the respected Marshal Ivanov would have done it a long time ago, and this task would not have been our turn at all."

Not only Austria, but all colonial countries I sent people to ask. None of them are willing to take in refugees unless we can send them there. ”

It's not that you don't want it, it's just that you can't afford it. It will be very difficult to accept millions of refugees at once, not to mention now, even in the 21st century.

Not to mention the high freight, the key is millions of people, how to transport it away in a short time?

If they can't be taken away immediately, then the refugees must be fed with supplies and raised.

And that's not all, transporting people to the colonies is only the beginning, and resettlement must also be done, and a single language barrier can collapse a colonial government.

According to a preliminary estimate, under the ideal state, it will take two or three years to resettle so many refugees, and it will not be possible without hundreds of millions of Aegis.

It may not be possible to make people more diligent for three years, but it only takes three days to make people lazy, and who can guarantee that these refugees can still work with peace of mind during such a long period of time.

If one is not handled well, a good thing becomes a bad thing. Instead of creating wealth, it increased the burden on the colonial government.

With such a huge overhead, you have to take such a big risk, and the pay is not proportional to the benefit. It is not surprising that the major colonial empires were reluctant to accept these refugees.

It can be seen from the immigration policies of the major colonial empires that everyone receives immigrants in batches in a dispersed manner, and rarely absorbs a large number of immigrants at one time.

The same is true for Austria, where there are no restrictions on the organization of immigrants from within the country, and when it comes to absorbing immigrants, it is necessary to go through screening.

Moreover, people's hearts are unpredictable. Who can guarantee that these refugees will continue to migrate after receiving the supplies, and maybe they will return to their hometowns directly.

With so many people, all under the supervision of the Russians, any country will not be at ease.

The spirit of contract is useless for refugees, and it is precisely because there is no that the spirit of contract is preached.

If you really rely on contracts to force immigrants, it is estimated that they will be sent to the place, and no one will dare to accept them. Many of them have a lot of experience as guerrillas.

Contreras wondered: "I passed by the gate of the Austrian embassy yesterday, and I saw many people applying for immigration, including beggars, and they didn't say that they refused to accept refugees?" ”

Obodo shook his head: "Most of those people are Germans, and the Vienna government has a rule that they can circumvent those restrictions as long as they consider themselves subjects of the Holy Roman Empire.

Even so, you have to know German if you want to get along. How many of these refugees do you think are fluent in German? ”

The long queues outside the Austrian embassy also benefited from the Berlin government's strong promotion of the German language in Poland.

Unfortunately, the time was still too short, and due to the resistance of the Poles, there were not many people who could speak German proficiently, and a large part of them were immigrants from the Rhineland.

Of course, this is not much for all refugees. In fact, there are not many of them, but there are hundreds of thousands of people.

After pondering for a while, Contreras said fiercely: "In that case, it is better to deport the refugees to the Kingdom of Prussia and give the enemy a headache." ”

Opodo sighed, "It's hard to do. The number of refugees is so large that they will not listen to us at all, and once the news spreads, the most likely thing is to scatter and flee.

Besides, it won't be long before we attack the enemy again, and we will have to deal with these refugees in the end. ”

Contreras shook his head: "Opodo, you have changed, you are not so indecisive.

The refugees will certainly not be expelled completely, and we do not need to expel all of them, as long as most of them are expelled, the rest will not be able to turn the waves.

As for the future, we can wait until then, and now we have to do to complete the task. After the war, what we had was time to deal with the refugee problem. ”

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

But the deportation of refugees is still a good proposal, at least more acceptable than the massacre, and perhaps this is what St. Petersburg wants to see. ”

……

With Obodo'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 unjustly.

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 can ordinary people be opponents of the army, the Russian army is notoriously ruthless, and there is only one word to deal with it - kill!

One person resists and kills another, and a thousand people resist and kills a thousand.

In short, the Russians are convinced that there is nothing that a butcher's knife cannot solve, and if there is, it must be that there are not enough kills.

Facts have proved that the bloody storm set off by Obodo is very effective, and there is no need to expel the army, and when they see the shadow of the Russian army, the refugees spontaneously run away.

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

……

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 suddenly decreased.

It was not that the Russians prevented Austria from receiving immigrants, but that at the same time as expelling refugees, they also expelled those who could have emigrated.

This is not a deliberate attempt by the Russians, they are all mixed in the refugee pile, unless they take the initiative to identify themselves, otherwise the Russian soldiers will not be able to distinguish at all.

Looking at the murderous Russian soldiers, there were too few people who dared to take the initiative to come forward and appear to be identified, and most of them went with the flow and ran away with the large army.

By the time Minister Andrew reacted and protested to the Russians, it was too late. The people are already gone, and the Russians can't be allowed to come back?

Without the main force of refugees, the number of applicants for immigration has dropped dramatically, and unless the review criteria are relaxed, the immigration work will not be completed.

The official in charge of immigration, Bo Duoka, asked: "Your Excellency, what do the Russians say?" ”

Andrew replied with a wry smile: "Sorry, sorry, no way!" ”

This answer is too speechless, but it happens to be the truth. The Russians really have no way now, and Austria can't dwell on this issue.

"What about our immigration work, you must know that not long ago we promised the country that at least 300,000 migrants could be obtained in the Polish region.

Judging by the current situation, I am afraid that at most half of the task will be completed. Damn Slavic brutes, you don't know how to do things, you don't know how to do things...... "Bo repeatedly complained angrily

Minister Andrew understood Bo Duo's mood very well, and the boiled duck suddenly flew away, and no one would be happy. It's just that the matter has come to this point, and no matter how much scolding will help.

"Mr. Podoca, now is not the time to complain. It's better to report the matter to China as soon as possible, and the next thing is not something we can handle.

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

Bo Duoka nodded, he understood what Minister Andrew meant. "Wasted" does not mean that the body is wasted, but mainly refers to the spirit.

When the Prussian army took control of the Warsaw area, relief food was distributed once a week, and the refugees were able to observe basic social order.

As soon as the Russians came, they stopped the relief food, and the social order was naturally broken. Those who have reserves are still struggling to support themselves, and those who do not have reserves are already looking for a livelihood outside.

Dig up wild vegetables, gnaw on tree bark, or drop grass for cowardice. The Russians had just arrived, the famine had not been around for a short time, everyone was barely alive, and most of them were still sane.

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

"Eating from the Child" is not just a historical allusion, but is about to start to be staged.

People who have experienced this kind of thing, even if they survive, are not real people, but can only be regarded as animals walking upright, and they are completely abolished spiritually.
