The Rise of the Empire

"Rupprecht, did you have a dispute with your father?" Princess Mary asked with some concern. \u003c/p\u003e"Yes, there was a dispute. Your Majesty the Emperor... is too concerned about gains and losses." The prince suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said in another more tactful tone. \u003c/p\u003e "You are using the Austro-Hungarian Empire as a weapon, and His Majesty is naturally not happy." Princess Mary said. \u003c/p\u003e "Do you really think that I did this because of the Kaiser's order? No, the Kaiser's order is just a convenience for me. No matter what the attitude of the two royal families is, I will do it. Because this is an opportunity to gain huge benefits." The prince thought for a while and said. \u003c/p\u003e"Huge benefits? What does Turkey have? They have nothing!" Princess Mary's attitude is the same as that of the Austrian Emperor. \u003c/p\u003e "The British have already made concessions on the Middle East Railway for the oil exploration rights in the Mesopotamia. Construction work will start soon, and if it is completed, then Turkish oil can enter the German and Austro-Hungarian markets! Petroleum-based industries are bound to flourish!" said the prince. \u003c/p\u003e"Although I don't know much, I believe that the Kingdom of Bavaria can benefit. But from the perspective of the princess of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, you still can't convince my father. The princess smiled: "If this If the benefits are really huge, then you will not share the profits with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, just like hardened armor. "\u003c/p\u003e "You're right, I don't intend to give this benefit to anyone. "The prince nodded.\u003c/p\u003e"But I also arranged a generous gift for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but His Majesty the Emperor did not intend to accept it! "The prince wants the help of Austria-Hungary, or to some extent, it is correct to say that Austria-Hungary is used as a gunman. However, the prince also considers the interests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After all, there is no benefit to let Austria-Hungary take action." Yes, it's a pity that the Emperor of Austria didn't seem to have a chance to explain to the prince, so he flatly refused. So the prince decided to go it alone!\u003c/p\u003e "The oil in the Mesopotamia belongs to the Bavarian royal family, but the agriculture in the Mesopotamia belongs to me. left to Austria-Hungary. It's a pity that His Majesty the Emperor didn't appreciate it! "Turkey is also considered to be sparsely populated by the standards at the time. Turkey, which has later generations of Libya, Asia Minor, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel, Mesopotamia, and the coastal areas of the Arabian Peninsula, has only 30 million people! Most of the population is concentrated in Asia Minor and the Mediterranean coast.\u003c/p\u003eThe Mesopotamia is supposed to have fertile soil and is an important part of the ancient Fertile Crescent. It stands to reason that there should be more people, but unfortunately, the resistance there is also fierce, especially recently In the past few years, it has been killed several times by the cavalry of the current Turkish Sultan...so a lot of land has been vacated. The prince needs to build oil fields, which must require manpower and food. And this part of the benefits was originally intended for Austria-Hungary \u003c/p\u003eWhere did so many Germans in the United States come from? It is not accurate to call these people Germans, because many of them are from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It may be an uncountable number of subjects going to the far shore of the ocean, but according to estimates, this number will not be less than 3 million. There are two reasons for immigration. The first point is that the living conditions are not good, and a large number of farmers have gone bankrupt You can’t find a way out, and the second point is the lack of entertainment.\u003c/p\u003e As for the latter, the prince can’t help to solve it, but the former can find a way out. Do you think it was easy to immigrate to the United States at that time? There was a famous The nickname is the Island of Tears. A considerable number of European immigrants will not be accepted by the US government because they are incompetent and have no skills!\u003c/p\u003eThese bankrupt farmers or forced immigrants have very low requirements. Give them a piece of fertile land The land will give them everything,

But it is a pity that the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not, and neither did Germany! Fortunately, there are few people in Bavaria, and a little bit of industry can absorb these surplus labor forces. Now it is not a surplus of labor force, but a shortage of labor force! But Austria-Hungary can't do it. In terms of industry, it can't beat Germany. In terms of regulation, what efficiency can such a country with two parliaments have? Therefore, the population loss of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was large, and the prince saw it and was anxious. These are potential soldiers! \u003c/p\u003e "Okay then, Ruprecht, since father doesn't agree, what are you going to do?" Princess Mary put her arms around the prince's neck and said coquettishly. \u003c/p\u003e"The Italians are not very good. If it is a land war, a division of the Bavarian army combined with the Turks is enough to clean up the Italians who landed in Africa." Help is naturally the best, but if not, the prince is not helpless. \u003c/p\u003eThe prince is clear about the difference in combat effectiveness of the Italian Army. Historically, Kemal led 28,000 Turkish and nomadic cavalry to deal with the Italian army for more than a year. go around. Of course, the premise is that the logistics supplies need to be transported in advance, and the secret channel to Libya through Egypt must be opened in advance. Take precautions! \u003c/p\u003e (It is true that Egypt was a vassal of the British in history, but it also does not hinder the volunteers of Egypt and even Algeria to help the Turks against Italy. After all, everyone believes in Allah and has a lot of supplies and The personnel were also transported to Libya via Egypt.)\u003c/p\u003e "What about the money?" asked the princess. \u003c/p\u003e"Most of it is borne by the Prussian central government, and the rest is borne by the Turks. Our financial pressure is very small." Bavaria sent troops, and naturally others had to pay, otherwise the prince would not agree! \u003c/p\u003e "If I talk to my father, maybe he will agree." The princess blinked playfully. \u003c/p\u003e"But I'm not interested anymore!" the prince said angrily. \u003c/p\u003e"Then do you think this is okay? Leave this matter to us. You provide equipment, and I will be responsible for finding people. You know, many declining nobles are trying to rise again. They can't do anything but change There is nothing but the title of crown and the so-called prestige. We can..." the princess said eagerly. \u003c/p\u003e"I don't want trash, I just want soldiers, people with real talents." The prince stopped early. \u003c/p\u003e"No problem, your people can be responsible for the selection of candidates, I'm just responsible for gathering them!" Princess Mary wanted to use all means to expand her influence in Austro-Hungarian society, especially the aristocratic class. And giving them a way out, or just a hope, can be exchanged for the loyalty of these down-and-out nobles. In Princess Mary's view, the interests gained by the prince are equal to her interests, and she still wants to be the queen of Austria! \u003c/p\u003eThe second one is here~~~!
