Chapter 599

Entering the industrial age, the Berlin government has recognized the importance of population, especially a labor force with a certain level of knowledge.

The Kingdom of Prussia is the first country in the world to complete compulsory education, and the Rhineland region is the most industrially developed region of the Kingdom of Prussia, where a large number of basic talents are gathered.

These talents are exactly what the Kingdom of Prussia needs most right now. In the initial stage of industrial development, the demand for high-skilled talents is not large, but the demand for ordinary skilled workers is the largest.

After the outbreak of the second industrial revolution, Austria was able to overtake Britain and France, not because of how advanced Austria's technology is, nor how much Franz's ability to see, the core factor is the number of engineers.

Without enough basic talents, no matter how advanced the technology is, it cannot be quickly transformed into industrial production.

With the development of industrial technology, the demand for basic talents is increasing. In later generations, countries in all countries are engaged in compulsory education, which is the result of market forces.

The old-fashioned empire of the original time and space was sitting on rich resources, but fell behind in the second industrial revolution, that is, lost in the number of basic talents.

By the time they reacted, it was too late. Competitors cannot stand still and give you decades to develop talent.

The Kingdom of Prussia has always maintained a high investment in military spending, and the domestic economy has not collapsed. In addition to the strong political skills of the Berlin government, the advantage of population quality is also an important factor.

In theory, anyone who has completed compulsory education has the potential to become an ordinary skilled worker. It's not impossible to become an engineer if you work hard.

Most low-end engineers grew up as skilled workers, and basic cultural knowledge is a necessary condition.

If someone conducts statistics, it will be found that although the population of the Kingdom of Prussia is far lower than that of Britain and France, the number of basic engineers is not as much as that of Britain and France.

If it is only to develop the Kingdom of Prussia, there will definitely be enough talents, and William I will not pay so much attention to immigration work. The key is that there is still the Kingdom of Poland to be developed.

In the era of the tsarist government, serfdom was implemented in Poland, education was only the patent of a few people, and ordinary people were purely illiterate.

After Poland became independent, although Slavery was abolished, and efforts were made to develop education, the results were not optimistic.

The idealistic government formulates policies, and always only looks at the surface, whatever is good, and does not consider the actual situation at all.

The Polish government ignores the fact that there is a shortage of teachers and finances, blindly follows the trend of compulsory education, and even goes further than Pu'ao.

The ideas are all good, but the reality does not allow it, and the final plan can only stay on paper. Except for the establishment of a few schools that serve the face of the powerful children, the actual significance to the country is equal to zero.

Now that the Commonwealth of Population and Poland has been established, and the task of developing Poland has fallen to the Berlin government, the demand for talents has naturally increased greatly.

William I: "No matter what we think of, we must immigrate as much as possible. Domestic industrial development needs talents, and assimilation work in Poland also needs immigrants.

The former Polish Revolutionaries headed by Dombrowski have been restless recently. They have been resisting the work of national integration. The government has a very heavy task ahead. "

For the Kingdom of Prussia, Poland is still too big to swallow in one breath. In order to stabilize the situation in Poland, the Berlin government had to compromise with the local power factions in Poland.

However, the compromise is also divided into objects. The former Polish government headed by Dombrowski is the biggest loser of the interests of the merger of Po-Po, and there is absolutely no possibility of compromise between the two sides.

When I first arrived, in order to maintain local stability, even knowing that the former Polish government was making small moves in secret, William I could not do anything to them.

You can't move on the bright side, but wearing small shoes within the rules is still indispensable.

Mao Qi persuaded: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Next, the focus of the government's work will still be on resettlement.

The biggest problem now is the corruption of the Polish government. The federal government has just been established. In order to maintain local stability, it is inconvenient for us to make a ruthless attack.

When the situation stabilizes, the government will conduct an assessment of public officials, kick out dereliction of duty and corrupt people, and clean up the administration of officials in Poland. "

There must be reckoning after the autumn, but it cannot be now. Although the previous Polish government was ousted from power, the strength of the revolutionary party should not be underestimated.

In particular, the armed forces formed by the Polish government in the later period were all cronies cultivated by the revolutionary party. The combat effectiveness of these units is not good though. But there are tens of thousands more. If you are really in a hurry, it will be bad if the fish die and the net breaks.

Originally, Prussia's annexation of the Kingdom of Poland was a bit far-fetched, if another civil war broke out. That hurt the morale of the people in the country too much.

The method adopted by the Berlin government was to boil frogs in warm water. The Polish army's defeat in the Russian-Polish war gave the Berlin government an opportunity to intervene in the army.

Under the pretext of war losses, William I took the opportunity to abolish the designations of the four infantry divisions of the Kingdom of Poland, and the remaining troops were also compressed to varying degrees.

Of course, while compressing the establishment, William I was also expanding his armament. This is not contradictory. The troops whose numbers were abolished were all lost on the battlefield.

If it is a heroic force that has won a battle, it is naturally impossible to abolish it. The problem is that the Polish army lost, and lost so badly, that it made sense to abolish the designation.

Rebuilding the new designation, the officers who remained in the original army were doomed to be marginalized. As defeated generals, even if they were to retire, no one could say anything.

William I didn't do such a great job. Some of these people were transferred to the reserve, and some of them stayed in the active army. It depends on the team.

The Polish army was trained by the Prussians, and the pro-Prussians were naturally indispensable. When forming a new army, it is natural to give priority to one's own people.

After some operations, the revolutionary party's armed forces have been compressed by half, and this is the confidence that William I wanted to move the revolutionary party.

Now that he was opposed by the Prime Minister, William I was very upset. However, his city is deep, and even a powerful official like Bismarck can endure the original time and space, and naturally he can accept Mao Qi's uprightness.

Capable people are usually temperamental, which made William I very helpless.

After thinking about it rationally for a while, William I nodded: "Then just wait! Collect evidence now, and settle accounts together in the future."

William I had long passed his youthful and vigorous age. He liked to think twice about everything he did. After realizing the possible risks, he resolutely chose to take a step back.

Foreign Secretary Jeffrey Friedman reminded: "Your Majesty, the International Conference on the Holocaust in Western Asia is about to take place in Jerusalem, and we need to make a choice.

The current national situation is still unclear. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends to remain neutral and avoid participating in the diplomatic game between Britain, France and Austria. "

The international situation is not uncertain, it is a complete mess. The three countries of Britain, France and Austria have cooperated and confronted each other, which made the diplomats of European countries almost have a nervous breakdown.

Blindly "standing in line" in this context is very easy to suffer. What if the boss at the top suddenly reconciled when he just stood in line and offended someone?

There is nothing that cannot be discussed in the face of interests. Britain, France, and Austria cooperate because of interests, and mutual confrontation is also because of interests.

Fortunately, the three parties are very rational now. Even if there is a confrontation, they have not pulled everyone into the water and limited the confrontation to the scope of the rules.

...

In Vienna, when the Prussians were hesitating, negotiations on the division of interests between Britain, France, and Austria began in secret.

One of the most important reasons why foreign powers are foreign powers is their thick skin.

It seems that the three countries of Britain, France and Austria are checking and balancing each other, but this is only an obvious effort for the outside world to see. Secretly, everyone has been sitting at the negotiating table for a long time, wrangling around the division of interests.

The West Asian issue is just a shadow. The conflict between the Ottomans and Persia, from the standpoint of Britain, France and Austria, is actually a child playing a family.

The refugees are almost dead, and there is no need to talk about this issue any more. In this era of the law of the jungle, "right and wrong" is the least worthy of debate.

The international community will not sanction the Ottomans because the Ottoman Empire expelled refugees into Persia and caused heavy losses to Persia.

Likewise, the international community will not hold the Persian government accountable for slaughtering refugees.

In addition to verbal condemnation, it is more about the division of interests of Britain, France and Austria, which is the main issue of debate now.
