Chapter 594

Thanks to the credit of the telegraph, what happened in Persia quickly spread across the European continent and shocked the world in an instant.

In Jerusalem, as one of the first to know about the actions of the Ottomans, Franz was also shocked by the decisiveness of the Ottoman al-Shabab.

This is not the best option, but it is the best option for the Ottoman government. When finances are depleted, diverting refugees to neighboring countries is the most effective way to get through the crisis.

Austria and Russia can't afford to offend. The two countries have blocked the border, and only a few people can smuggle across, so they can only catch Persia, a soft persimmon, and bully to death.

As for the terrifying consequences, isn't there an endorsement by the British? Attacking the Persians is what the London government wants to see, and the British have come forward to deal with them.

Franz asked with concern: "How many Ottomans have entered illegally recently?"

Although Austria is not suitable for smuggling, under the pressure of starvation, the number of Ottomans entering illegally has increased sharply in recent times.

Felix: "There are about 80,000 people, of which 78,000 were caught. The defenders have tried to arrest as few people as possible, but some Ottomans were hungry and deliberately sent them to the door to be caught by the defenders. .

According to the regulations, these people violated Austrian law and must be punished, and the defenders can only arrest them and bring them to justice. "

Franz thought unscrupulously, I am afraid that not only some people were deliberately caught by the defenders, but many people were deliberately sent to the door.

Almost starved to death, who cares about the consequences of being caught? The worst result is nothing more than being beaten to death by the defenders on the spot, so you should be relieved.

In addition, whether it is repatriation to the country or sentenced to prison, the Austrians have to take care of the food first, right? If you can have a full meal, that is also earned.

After pondering for a while, Franz made a decision: "Sentence is to be carried out according to our laws, the Arabian Peninsula needs to return farmland to forests and grasses, and these people will stay to plant grass and trees!

After the service is over, they will be sent back to the Ottoman Empire. Presumably, the Ottoman government will be able to receive them by then. "

The dignity of the law must be maintained. No matter what the reason is, if the law is violated, it must be held accountable.

As for the completion of service and repatriation to China, everyone directly ignored it. According to Austrian law, illegal entry starts for five years, and the punishment for mass incidents is doubled.

By the time these people are finished serving, it is estimated that they will be almost useless. For a long time in the future, the Arabian Peninsula will be in a state of fallow, and there will be no people for thousands of miles, so the guards can save a lot.

Being in prison in Austria these days was not easy at all, especially for repeat offenders.

Whether it is to go to the mine or to repair the railway, you must complete the daily work tasks before you can get food for the next day, otherwise you will be hungry all the time!

Now we don't talk about human rights, and people who starve to death don't need to be held responsible. It is best not to get sick, otherwise the chances of surviving are very low.

This is the case in the whole society. The life expectancy of workers after entering the factory is only ten years. This is the result of the strengthening of management by the Vienna government.

Not to mention prisons, if you have served more than ten years, don't think about it. Those who can last more than five years are blessed by God.

Foreign Secretary Weisenberg: "Your Majesty, the Persian government, which is protesting the atrocities of the Ottoman Empire in the international community, asks us to intervene in this incident.

The Persians are very sincere. If we intervene, we can increase our influence in the Persian region. Considering the next strategy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that it is necessary for me to intervene. "

Intervention must be intervened. Now Austria is the "enemy" of the Ottoman Empire. How can it not be done to create chaos for the enemy?

The excuse that came to the door, if the Vienna government does not take action, I am afraid everyone will feel that there is a problem.

Intervention is necessary, but how to intervene will test diplomacy. Facing an enemy with flaws all over his body, he must attack selectively. If he accidentally kills him, it will be a tragedy.

Franz: "Form an international investigative team to cause trouble for the Ottomans diplomatically. It is estimated that the British will make trouble, and they will do it.

As for Persia, it is not the goal of our expansion. If the British are willing to pay the price, let them be. "

Austria now needs time to develop the African continent, and has no energy to continue to expand to South Asia. At this time, it is not worthwhile to accept Persia and the British against it.

Franz didn't like to sell teammates, so the benefits promised by the Persians had to be reluctantly given up.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the British are willing to pay the price, otherwise, a stab in the back is still indispensable.

The international situation has developed to this stage, and the possibility of a direct large-scale conflict between Britain, France and Austria in a short period of time is infinitely small.

This is somewhat similar to the original time and space. The collapse of colonial empires and the spread of nationalism are actually the result of imperialist countries stabbing knives at each other.

...

In St. Petersburg, the tsarist government is also worried about the sudden arrival of refugees. Although the influx of the Russian Empire was not as many as Persia, the unit was still ten thousand.

The mountainous region of the Caucasus is not conducive to the passage of large troops, but it is very conducive to defense militarily. But it is also beneficial for refugees to sneak in, and they sneak in from a certain hill.

The defenders wanted to defend, but in fact there was nothing they could do, unless heavy troops were deployed on every hill, otherwise the influx of refugees could not be stopped at all.

Of course, the mountain

The land is not completely useless, at least some of the refugees who are physically weak have been intercepted. Those who can enter the Russian Empire are basically young and strong, and most of the old and the weak died on the way.

For some countries, an increase in the workforce may be a good thing, but it definitely doesn't include the Russian Empire.

As one of the most populous countries in Europe, Russia has people. Coupled with the low degree of industrialization and limited demand for labor, the tsarist government has no love for refugees.

Alexander II said weakly: "Send someone to contact the Austrians and ask if they still need labor."

In order to develop the African continent, Austria has been recruiting immigrants on the European continent. All were carried out in the name of private colonial companies, and the Russian Empire was also an important source of immigration.

Foreign Secretary Chris Basham explained: "Your Majesty, the Austrian Colonial Company never accepted the Ottomans, they would not accept these refugees."

It is true that Austrian Africa lacks people, but not everyone needs it. Unfortunately, the Ottomans were turned away. The colonial government clearly stipulated that the purpose of organizing illegal immigration was to mine.

Not only the executors will be unlucky, but even the shareholders of the colonial company will be held accountable. In this regard, the Vienna government is very strict, and those who tried the law were punished and went bankrupt.

Alexander II asked reluctantly: "Then what about the American countries, are there any willing to accept these refugees?"

Now Alexander II very much hopes that someone will come to take over, regardless of the price, if they can get rid of these people, that is to earn.

Chris Basham shook his head: "Your Majesty, if it is a black slave, it may be sold, but if it is a ****, it will not be sold at all.

Capitalists and planters only like obedient black slaves and have no love for the Ottomans. If it could be sold, Austria would not have sent all the Ottomans back home. "

The slave trade has been suppressed in name by European countries, but in fact it has always existed secretly. Even the British who advocated the abolition of slavery are still going on secretly.

In the face of interests, capitalists have never been disciplined. If it doesn't, it's just because the benefits are not big enough. Austria's ability to vacate the cage and exchange birds on the African continent is the result of the Vienna government paying to subsidize the labor export company.

If the tsarist government was willing to pay, none of these problems would be a problem. In this era, American countries are relatively salty. Although they need immigrants, the government rarely actively recruits immigrants to Europe.

On the one hand, immigration costs are high, and on the other hand, the local people are afraid that immigrants will take jobs. Generally speaking, the private sector is opposed to immigration. The government needs to please voters, and naturally it cannot do it against them.

It is a pity that Alexander II did not want these refugees, in essence because he did not want to pay. The Russian Empire was underdeveloped in industry, and there were not so many jobs for refugees.

Even if it is sent to the mine for mining, it is a loss-making behavior. This will seize the jobs of the original miners and increase social conflicts.

After hesitating for a moment, Alexander II frowned and made a decision: "Order the defenders to send these people to the Ottoman Empire, if any more refugees break in - kill!

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned the Ottoman government that if they were unable to maintain domestic order, we would be happy to send troops to help. "

The "reputation" thing is useful to others, and to the tsarist government, anyway, it is like this, and it can't be bad enough.

There was no order to slaughter the refugees, it was because Alexander II paid attention to the international influence. Otherwise, with the grievances of Russia and the Ottoman Empire, killing all these people is a normal operation.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" replied Chris Basham
