Chapter 1098 The Jewish Problem [Update]

"Anti-Semitism" is not unfamiliar to Europeans. After all, it has been a very politically correct thing since the ancient Roman period before Christ.

However, the fact that almost all nations in Europe did the same thing was largely their own fault.

The Jews took advantage of the Romans' expedition to launch a rebellion when their rear was empty, which was nothing wrong.

However, the Jews who revolted did not seek revenge on the Romans, but launched the earliest terrorist action in human history.

The Jews who revolted began to massacre other nations around them. Their massacre was not for the purpose of plunder, but naked massacre.

All people, regardless of gender, age or status, were massacred.

According to the records of ancient Roman historians:

"They ate the flesh of the victims, used the intestines of the victims as their belts, smeared the blood of the victims, and used the skins of the victims as clothes; many people were sawed in half from head to toe by them; others were fed to wild beasts by them."

"They retaliated cruelly against all residents in Libya, almost killing all the local farmers, so that the local land was abandoned because no one cultivated it.

The rebels killed all the residents of Salamis and completely destroyed the city."

"There were no survivors, and the intestines and eyeballs of all the dead were dug out. They were real beasts."

Although war has always been barbaric and cruel, the war of the Jews was too barbaric and cruel. They slaughtered 220,000 people in one breath, which was almost the entire population of a small country two thousand years ago.

Then they did it a second time, which was specifically aimed at non-Jews.

Then there was a third and fourth time.

The Jews were also the first to start the white slave trade. They sold the Roman minorities to the Arabs for huge profits.

A wise man once commented: "The secular morality of the Jews is selfishness, their secular belief is bargaining, and their secular God is money. The real God of the Jews is the bill of exchange!"

Let's get back to the point.

No country opposes anti-Semitism. After all, they have wanted to do this for a long time, but they are constrained by those Jewish bankers and can only talk about it.

At this time, "anti-Semitism" can be said to be in line with the will of heaven and the will of the people. It can not only ease the financial pressure, but also restore the image of the government and the royal family in the minds of the people, and unite other ethnic groups in the country. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

In fact, compared with the single-ethnic countries in the German region, the "anti-Semitism" wave in Austria is more turbulent. Commoners dare not scold nobles, nobles dare not scold the emperor, but they dare to scold Jews.

The trauma of the Austrian Empire in 1848 and Franz's purge of some nobles were all considered to be the work of Jews, and even the British who fought with Austria were labeled as Jewish accomplices.

However, this was not Franz's goal. He just wanted all countries to regain control of the economy and give the entire aristocracy a chance to survive.

As for the massacre, Franz was not interested in repeating that boring mistake, or he had a better solution.

Patagonia, although the Viceroyalty of La Plata (Argentina) had a claim to this place at this time, the propaganda of such a small country was nothing in the eyes of the great powers, even decades later.

The climate in Patagonia is quite harsh. Historically, the Spaniards have tried to colonize here several times, but all failed.

It is said that the local Indians also have a tradition of cannibalism. There was a Spanish colonist of 3,000 people who went deep inland, and only 28 people survived in the end.

At this time, there were only two or three mission stations in Patagonia, no fixed colony points, only a few small ports such as Deseado, San Julian, and Valdivia.

However, except for Valdivia, it is more appropriate to call the others transit stations or supply points, and the total population does not exceed 3,000 people.

The population of Valdivia is about 2,500 people. In short, Franz did not face much resistance to occupy Patagonia in the name of the German Confederation.

So Franz planned to send those Jews to the end of South America to benefit the local Indians. Although the Spaniards tried for hundreds of years without success, there is still hope as long as the population transported is large enough.

Franz planned to transport 200,000 to 300,000 Jews to Patagonia within ten years. These German-speaking Jews might be changed through labor reform.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if there is no change. The local superstructure must be directly controlled by the German Confederation. In addition to strengthening control, it can also prevent other countries from mixing sand.

If it doesn’t work, these people can be transferred to another place for further transformation.

Although the geographical environment of Patagonia is harsh, it is still much better than Israel, so in a sense, Franz can be regarded as a great philanthropist.

In fact, the land of Patagonia is not without potential, but the local resources are not significant enough at this time to support people’s interest in its continued development.

Franz couldn't leave the precious German population in such a desolate mountain and wilderness, after all, there were too many excellent colonies that could be developed at this time.

Although the Jews were not killed directly, the Jewish property was enough for most states.

In addition to a large amount of real gold, silver and bonds, they also got a lot of industrial factories. The monarchs in the German region were not fools, at least their staff were not fools.

All countries began to learn from the Austrian Empire, and the government directly operated the industry, but this was nothing new, after all, many countries had tried it.

As for whether the Jews lived or died in Patagonia, it was none of their business. The most important thing was to remove these scourges from their own country.

Finally, Franz also announced one thing, that is, the German Customs Union and the German Confederation merged to become a subordinate organization of the Confederation, with its headquarters also in Vienna.

As for the reason, of course, it was to streamline the organization and reduce waste. Why was it established in Vienna? Of course, it was from a security perspective, after all, safety comes first.

As the dual hegemon of politics and economy in the German region, the Austrian Empire had just defeated the British, French, Italian states, and the constitutionalists within it, successfully extending the life of the orthodox faction, and even benefited the entire aristocracy.

It was expected by all the states that Franz would take over the German Customs Union and the German Confederation to the Austrian Empire.

No one dared to object, after all, the Austrian Empire was the main force throughout 1848. The states that did not contribute much and were indecisive were all enjoying the benefits. How could they dare to let the Austrian Empire return empty-handed?

The four free cities that had been very active before had disappeared, and those small states that were double-faced were about to disappear.

The remaining powerful states really did not dare to jump out and confront the Austrian Empire. In fact, if the British were there, they would definitely jump out to oppose it, but they were not members of the German Confederation. By the time they knew about it, everything would have been a done deal.
