Chapter 929

All of Europe's eyes were focused on the West Asian continent, with the exception of the Government of Prussia. It couldn't be helped. They had a bunch of things to deal with at home. How could they have the energy to care about other people's matters?

Even if the Osman Empire was a potential ally of the Kingdom of Prussia, it was of no use. If Britain and France dared to help the Osman Empire, the Government of Prussia would never dare to intervene.

From the standpoint of the Kingdom of Prussia, a strong Osman Empire was in their interest, but once they supported the Osman Empire, they would offend Austria.

This was an easy choice to make. Britain and France were strong and not afraid of Austria's revenge. It was okay to stab them in the back.

The Kingdom of Prussia couldn't do it. The threat of Russia had already made them restless. It was obviously unwise to provoke Austria.

Now the international public opinion was very interesting. Everyone was very unified, which was to scold the Persian government and the Osman government together. Both shared the firepower and were notorious together.

However, it was different in international politics. It was directly divided into two factions. Britain and France supported the Osman Empire, while Austria and Russia supported the Persian government.

All in all, this time it was the Osman government who acted immorally. Other than Persia being a little extreme, it was actually a victim.

Most of the small countries in Europe were more sympathetic to Persia, but it was of no use. When it came to the game between the big countries, the small countries simply didn't dare to express their opinions. Their own wishes were not important at this time.

In this context, the international investigation team was formed. Both sides were trying to rope in the Kingdom of Prussia. As long as they were willing to take a side, they could almost have the final say.

However, the shrewd William I made the most correct choice – neutrality. It couldn't be helped. The same "rope in" had different performances at different times.

It seemed that the three countries were competing to rope in the Kingdom of Prussia, but in fact, none of them were willing to bid. The so-called "promise of benefits" was actually just a pie in the sky. They could see it, but they couldn't get it.

Without enough benefits, the Kingdom of Prussia naturally wouldn't jump out to join the battle. William I was very clear that there was a limit to the struggle between England, France, and Austria. It was not to the point where they would fight to the death.

Don't look at the West Asian crisis. The two sides seemed to be in a deadlock, but in reality, it was just a battle of words in the international investigation team. The fact that the three countries still existed was the best proof.

Choosing a side in a situation where the three major countries were "fighting without being defeated" would mean that they were really tired of living. The other party didn't even ask him to pick a side, yet he took the initiative to send himself over. Wasn't that asking for trouble?

…

In the Berlin Palace, William the First's expression was frighteningly gloomy, as if everyone owed him tens of millions of Marks. It was obvious that he had too many troubles recently.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jeffrey Friedman, reported, "Your Majesty, the Germans are pressing us again. This is a diplomatic note from them." (German for short, the German Federal Empire)

William said, "Don't we still have half a year? Tell the Germans that we will make the handover within the stipulated time.

Prime Minister, the immigration to the Rhineland region must be expedited. Also, we need to mobilize as many companies as possible to relocate. The current relocation work is progressing too slowly. "

Puder and Germany signed a land transaction contract. The Rhineland region already belonged to the German Federal Empire. However, such a large-scale land transaction definitely couldn't be completed in a day or two.

The Government of Berlin had signed a land transaction contract. The Rhineland region already belonged to the German Federal Empire. However, such a large-scale land transaction couldn't be completed in a day or two.

It was already time for the transfer of the Rhineland region, but the Kingdom of Prussia hadn't completed the evacuation yet. Naturally, they refused the transfer.

From the standpoint of the German Federal Empire, the earlier the transfer, the better. Although this transaction had the endorsement of the European countries, there was no need to worry about Prussia going back on their word.

But now, Prussia was working hard to control the Rhineland region. In theory, these assets could also be considered as belonging to the German Federal Empire. If the transfer was completed a day earlier, the German Federal Empire could recover a lot of losses.

Prime Minister Moltke wanted to cry when the King criticized the "slow relocation". It wasn't that the government didn't work hard, but the migration was really troublesome.

It wasn't just about bringing people back. They also had to do the most basic arrangements and find them a job that could support their families.

Otherwise, even if they returned to Prussia, they would still leave again.

The Kingdom of Prussia didn't prohibit the movement of people. These days, the immigration offices to Austria were located in all the major cities of the German Region. As long as one signed up, the follow-up costs would be covered.

Talents with special skills would also be given a chance to do a field trip. If they weren't satisfied, they could refuse the migration. The cost of the return trip would also be reimbursed. This service was definitely in place.

Facing such a strong competitor, how could the Government of Berlin not work hard? Although the living conditions in the mainland were better, people had to have jobs to support themselves!

It wasn't that the Government of Berlin didn't crack down on this kind of immigration behavior. It was just that the immigration window was closed on the surface, but the immigration window still existed in the dark.

Not to mention now, even in the 21st century, there were all kinds of underground immigration channels. As long as there were benefits, it couldn't be really banned.

It was even more difficult to encourage the capitalists to migrate. It had always been profitable business that everyone rushed to do, and no one cared about the loss-making business.

The Rhineland region was rich in coal and iron resources, had developed transportation, and all kinds of industrial supporting facilities were ready-made. Moving back to Prussia might not be certain.

The land had already been developed, and the local tyrants had already risen. If they were to intervene now, they would only be smashed.

In the undeveloped Poland and Lithuania, the supporting facilities were not complete, transportation urgently needed to be improved, and the distribution of resources was not understood. The most important thing was the change in the market.

In the Rhineland region, in addition to selling the capitalists' industrial and commercial products in the mainland, a large part of them were exported to neighboring countries such as Austria, France, Belgium, and the German Confederation.

After the relocation, these traditional markets would have to say goodbye to them due to the impact of transportation. Maybe in the future, when the Poland and Lithuania region developed, the local market would be very good, but the capitalists couldn't wait.

The reality wasn't an online joke. The so-called cultivating market was a cup of "poisoned chicken soup" for most capitalists.

Before cultivating a market, the first thing to do was to survive. If they couldn't survive, no matter how big the market was in the future, what did it have to do with them?

When it came to their own interests, the capitalists were smart people. Even if the Government of Berlin promised more preferential policies, it couldn't change the risk of relocation.

Mao Qi: "Your Majesty, the government has done its best in the immigration work. We have to settle 100,000 immigrants every month. This speed is already very fast.

For many immigrant families, we only solved the employment of one labor force. In order to let the people survive, the government had to give additional subsidies.

Domestic enterprises have long been overcrowded. In order to solve the immigration employment problem, we had to increase public infrastructure investment and artificially create jobs.

Schools, hospitals, railways, highways, urban transformation, water conservancy … Almost all basic industries that require a lot of labor, we are investing on a large scale. "

This was the truth. The execution shown by the Government of Berlin had shocked the world. In a short period of time, they completed the resettlement of nearly a million people, which could be called a world record.

This was different from Austria's control of East Prussia. Austria's African territory was large enough, and when it was scattered everywhere, there were only a thousand to eight hundred people in each city.

Without enough jobs, they could be directly arranged to farm or mine. The so-called resettlement pressure didn't exist at all.

Mao Qi didn't even mention the relocation of the capitalists. This really couldn't be helped. High risk should have corresponded to high profits, but this industrial relocation only had risks.

It wasn't that the Poland and Lithuania region didn't have resources, at least in the early stage of the industrial revolution. The problem was that you had to build the roads first!

On the map, there were many rivers in the Poland region, and most of them were navigable. It seemed that shipping was developed.

In fact, the difference of a millimeter on the map was a difference of tens or hundreds of kilometers in reality. It didn't seem far, but for most companies, it was very fatal.

The Government of Berlin was working hard to build the roads. Perhaps in the near future, these problems would no longer exist. However, capitalists wouldn't choose to share the country's hardships. They could only share the wealth.
