Chapter 591: Pubo Federation

Jerusalem, with the arrival of Franz, this ancient city has a new vitality.

Pilgrims from all over the world made Jerusalem prosper overnight. The hotels were overcrowded, and the buildings in the city were turned into makeshift guest rooms, still unable to meet the demand.

In order to solve the accommodation problem, the city management committee had to build a temporary hotel outside the city.

This coronation is of great significance, and the guests who come to participate are naturally full of weight. Almost all the great nobles in Europe sent their core members to participate, and more than a dozen monarchs came.

Well, this is a Shinra feature. The greater the number of states, the greater the number of monarchs.

Regardless of the size of the state, since people have come to cheer, the treatment of the monarch is indispensable. With that, reception becomes a problem.

The size of the Royal Palace in Jerusalem is limited, and Franz's family seems to be a little crowded, and naturally they have no ability to accommodate guests.

This "crowded" is relative, no matter how shabby, it is impossible for these big people to squeeze into one room.

How can a monarch want a mansion, and it must be the kind with dozens of rooms, otherwise how will the gang of people arrange it?

There are not so many mansions in Jerusalem, and even if the city management committee temporarily remodeled it, it still can't come up with it.

The big nobles want face, and people come from thousands of miles to come to cheer, and the reception work must not be sloppy.

Restricted by the conditions, the treatment is almost understandable, but the basic etiquette should be done well for what kind of status deserves what kind of treatment.

Then Franz got a headache. Under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, Jerusalem was a small city. Suddenly so many people poured in, and the reception work became a big problem.

...

Berlin, after ascending to the Polish throne, William I was happy for a day, and then never again.

The last Polish government was too idealistic and formulated a series of policies that looked good but were actually poisonous, leaving a mess.

Poland's natural conditions are not bad. Under normal circumstances, as long as the government does not die, there is no problem in achieving fiscal balance.

William I's ability is still worthy of recognition. Immediately after he succeeded to the throne, he abolished a series of "ideal policies" of the previous government, and the government's financial expenditure plummeted.

The interception effect was remarkable, but it still did not allow the Polish government to get out of the financial predicament. The debt left by the predecessor was the most important factor leading to the financial crisis.

In order to increase fiscal revenue, William I reformed the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Poland. Unfortunately, the bureaucratic combat effectiveness of the Polish government was too weak to complete the tasks he had given.

This is an inevitable result. Any reform will inevitably violate the interests of some people. While promoting reform, William I also damaged the rights of the bureaucracy.

For example: William I's new economic policy, the core is to sell loss-making state-owned enterprises, reduce the government's financial burden, and stimulate the development of the capitalist market economy.

Most of the state-owned enterprises in the hands of the Polish government were industries that were confiscated from the Russians during the independence period, and these industries were inevitably inextricably linked with the Russian Empire.

After Poland's independence, the commercial trade with the Russian Empire was almost zero, and the company lost its original market, and life was not easy.

At this time, I encountered a group of idealistic officials, and the result was naturally not optimistic. Soon the company was out of the market, and it was all sustained by government funding.

Poland is not a planned economy. Under the free capital economic system, enterprises completely obey the government's executive orders, and the outcome is naturally self-evident.

As the Polish government manages machinery, interest groups have gradually emerged over time, and corporate losses have become increasingly serious.

Dragged down by corporate losses, the Polish government's finances are also in trouble, and this hole is still expanding day by day.

The following people fabricated a bunch of data, and under the guise of an industrial powerhouse, deceived funds by falsely reporting projects. Such a trick fooled the Polish government, which had no experience in governing, but could not fool the cunning and cunning William I.

Lies have been exposed, problems have been exposed, and reform is imperative. The vested interests who were unwilling to fail naturally fought back, and the internal political struggle in Poland became severe.

There is no way, the annexation of Poland by the Kingdom of Prussia is not an overnight problem, and now the Polish government still has an independent government team.

For the sake of political balance, William I promoted the cronies in charge of the Kingdom of Poland, and they must also be Polish.

The circle of choice has been greatly reduced, and compromises have to be made in many cases. The direct consequence is that the reformers and conservatives are in a daze.

From the monarch's point of view, this kind of struggle is in the interests of the king and can protect his own detached status.

For the country, this level of political struggle has interfered with the normal operation of the government and affected the development of the country.

The contradiction is not only a little bit, after the sale of the Rhineland region, the Berlin government is working hard to immigrate there. Not all of these immigrants were settled in Prussia, but a large part of them were settled in the Kingdom of Poland.

This move did promote ethnic integration, but it created a series of troubles. For example: the competition for jobs, the Polish natives are not as good as these immigrants.

It was late at night, and the Berlin Palace was still brightly lit, and William I continued to drag his exhausted body to handle government affairs.

Not only did the king not get off work, but the top officials of the Berlin government also appeared in the palace.

foreign secretary

Jeffrey Friedman: "Your Majesty, now that the situation is ripe, the eyes of all European countries are drawn to Jerusalem, and it is time for us to push for the merger of the two countries."

It has not been a day or two since the Kingdom of Prussia wanted to annex Poland. The preparation work has been done for many years, and now it is time to close the network.

William I's face was unmoved, showing a calm expression. If anyone pays attention, they will find that his brow is very happy, but he conceals it very well.

Prime Minister Mao Qi supported: "Your Majesty, now is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When Franz was crowned King of Jerusalem, most of the high-level Vienna government was in the Middle East, and the Austrians did not have the energy to interfere with the merger of Pope.

We have given up on the Rhineland region, and all countries are prepared for the merger of the Pope and Poland, and even if there is some resistance, it will not be too strong.

Except for the Russians, it is estimated that no one will object vigorously. "

Abandoning the Rhineland has advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage is that the Berlin government is freed from the threat of France, and now don't worry about the French anymore.

After a while of silence, William I slowly said: "The merger of Pubo is imperative, but we must do one more thing before we do it again.

The immigration work in the Rhineland region is not going well, and it will be handed over to the German Federal Empire soon, and it will be difficult for us to recruit people at that time.

After the merger of Pubo, the first problem to be faced is the ethnic conflict. We have historical experience in this regard, and we can follow the example of the Austrians.

If the main ethnic group can occupy an absolute advantage, then the promotion of ethnic integration in the future will also become more smooth. "

The assimilation of Poles was a great feat of the Kingdom of Prussia, with at least three million Poles assimilated, a classic case of European national integration.

These successful experiences have undoubtedly enhanced the confidence of the Berlin government. If there is no successful case, Dabobo is so active, who dares to attack them?

Prime Minister Mao Qi bit the bullet and explained: "Your Majesty, the immigration work is progressing slowly, and the main problem is resettlement. It is easy to relocate a large number of people, but it is difficult to provide corresponding jobs."

This is a real problem. If all the resettlement can be done, the Berlin government has already ordered the local people to evacuate.

Obviously this is impossible. Millions of jobs cannot be created in a day or two. Since the immigration work has been carried out so far, the Berlin government has resettled more than 400,000 people, which is already a remarkable achievement.
