Chapter 1368 Ludolf's Population Plan
June 16, 1920.
Vienna.
This ancient European city is no longer prosperous.
There was a small one on the street. The noisy stores in the past became cold and lonely. Pedestrians were wearing masks and hurriedly, but they did not dare to communicate too much.
The number of military police in Vienna is also obviously more than usual. It is responsible for maintaining the operation of the city. In addition to the epidemic prevention work, the military police in Vienna also shoulder the small -scale riots that may occur in the city and the surveillance of foreign personnel.
From time to time, you can see the house sealed by a white strip, which indicates that the potential risks here. Once someone approaches, it will be driven away by the inspectors in uniforms.
Most of these houses are the isolation areas of severe infections, so they are focused on attention.
For the ancient European tradition of the Austro -Hungarian Empire, since 1914, the empire has re -entered a period of disaster.
This can be seen from today's Vienna that since the beginning of the World War, Vienna has fallen into a wind and crane, and it is easy to cook until the end of the war, but wait for the 1920 European influenza explosion.
The impact of plague on Vienna even exceeds war. Even during the war, Vienna always belongs to the rear. Vienna is still red light and drunk gold fans, but the plague has no space restrictions. It is a dense area of Vienna, and it has become a breeding ground for the breeding of plague.
The Empire Empress Rudorf was sitting on the seat, frowning across the car window, watching the disaster that swept the entire empire.
"What is the disaster situation in Vienna?" Rudorf asked.
The empire Prime Minister Conrad on the co -pilot said: "Reporting His Royal Highness, the number of people in Vienna's current epidemic infection is at least 30 %. Now, the entire number of deaths in Vienna still exceed 170,000. "
170,000 people are not much for Vienna, which has a population of more than two million, but this data is terrible, which means that the death rate of European influenza in Vienna exceeds 7 %, and this data obviously exceeds East Africa.
However, this can also be understood that East Africa's strictness in the field of sanitation was originally ahead of most countries in the world, and because of far from Europe, it was inferior to the Austro -Hungarian Empire.
Secondly, the war had a certain impact on the prevention of the Austro -Hungarian Empire. Although the war has ended, during the war, all fields of the Austro -Hungarian Empire were affected to varying degrees.
Today, the industrial recovery of the Austro -Hungarian Empire is very slow. If it is not aid in East Africa, the Austro -Hungarian Empire may not even be produced.
"I don't know when this damn plague can end, the damn French!" Rudolph said gritted his teeth.
Most European countries are very clear now. The so -called European influenza is likely to originate from France. However, thanks to the advantages of public opinion accumulated in the past for a long time, it can only carry the French black pot in Europe as a whole.
France has long been the center of culture and exchanges in Europe, an important maker and participant in the old order, so it has a deep influence in Europe.
This influence is lacking in other European countries, and even Britain does not necessarily have more rights than France in this regard. Of course, if it expands to the world, it must not be better than Britain.
Conrad said: "Even if we pick up the plague now, it originated from France. After all, the occurrence of plague is likely to be caused by the cause of war, so Germany will help France cover the source of the plague in this regard. "
After all, the source of the most suspected plague is the previous battlefield of the Western Front, and the army on the western battlefields have participated, especially Germany and France, as the main force.
Rudorf sighed: "This plague, the number of deaths in the empire has exceeded one million, which is even more terrible than war."
The more cities with a population, the greater the impact in this round of European influenza, but the good news is that the level of urbanization of the Austro -Hungarian Empire is low in the powers of the powers, which is higher than Japan and Spain.
This reduced the losses of the Austro -Hungarian Empire in the plague to a certain extent, but Rudolph was obviously not happy because of this.
He said: "This plague, economically developed, and regions with concentrated population are more vulnerable. Therefore, in the early stage, our Austrian pressure is greater than Hungary and other areas. Thinking of this makes me feel a headache. It is one of the roots of the contradictions within the empire today. This plague may further intensify this contradiction. "
Conrad had different views on this. He said to Rudorf: "Highness does not have to worry about this. According to the current trend of the plague, it can be basically determined that no one can be spared throughout Europe."
"Moreover, medical conditions in Hungary and other regions are more backward than Austria. The losses in other regions of the plague will only be more serious than Austria."
Both of the monarchs and ministers are proper Austrian, or German, for the Empire's long -term peace, naturally hope that there are more German population in the empire.
It is necessary to mention here that Conrad can become the new Prime Minister of the Empire, which was promoted by Rudorf in one hand. Now Emperor Franz has basically become a mascot of the empire and no longer participate in the politics of the empire.
In other words, since the middle of the war, the Rudorf Emperor has become the actual controller of the Austro -Hungarian Empire.
Rudorf is also an old man in his sixties now. After experiencing World War I, he has become mature and stable. Of course, it has become more cold -blooded and dark.
When he was young, Rudorf was rebellious and was sympathetic to the people in the empire. Now, Rudorf lives more and more like his father, Emperor Franz.
The Rudorf Emperor said: "In the past, the father's internal balance of the empire relied on the superb check -of -balance methods, but over time, this balance was becoming more and more difficult to maintain. If we cannot solve this problem, the Austro -Hungarian Empire may be annihilated in the long river of history at any time.
Speaking of which, Rudorf's tone became a bit heavy, and a fierce saying in his eyes: "We must adopt some subtle policies and means to help the empire through this difficulty."
The overall idea of Rudorf is naturally increasing the number of German people in the empire. It is best to make the Germans truly the main nation of the empire.
However, the difficulty is also very huge, and it can even be said that the possibility of solution is slim. The key is that the birth rate of the Germans in the empire is low.
The birth rate of Austria is lower than that of Hungary and other places, and it is obviously easy to further shake the foundation of Habsburg.
However, Hungary is actually not the confidant of Habsburg. From an objective perspective, Hungary is actually a stronger royalist than Austria. This is mainly due to the relatively backward reasons of Hungary. fierce.
This is also one of the contradictions within the Austro -Hungarian Empire. The Austro -Hungarian Empire is stuck by Habsburg, but the interests of the empire are not exactly consistent with the Habsburg family. And how to resolve this contradiction, Rudorf has no clue, and any operation may be clever, so Rudolph's attitude towards Hungary is more contradictory.
Of course, Hungary cannot be disposed of at will, which does not mean that in other regions. With the territory and population obtained in the first battle of digestion, the Slavs in the Austro -Hungarian Empire have further increased.
Rudorf also wanted to use this as a breakthrough to solve the national problem of the empire.
Rudorf said: "Now, we must speed up the residents of residents to Slavia in the area of the new land, while using our advantages to increase the number of mixed -race virtues as much as possible."
"The Kingdom of Dal Martia is a good example. Although because they have the Far East bloodline, they are different from other people's appearance, but this kind of foreign households are more likely to moralized."
This is actually the enthusiasm of converts. East Africa, the Austro -Hungarian Empire Dal Martia kingdom has this phenomenon. This mixed -race virtue of the "German" family is more important than purebred Germans themselves. Essence
Of course, the situation of the Kingdom of Dal Martia is more intense than East Africa. After all, the ethnic and cultural fusion of East Africa has been completed, and Dal Martia's mixed -race morality people are incompatible with the surrounding areas.
To the north is Croatia and Slovenia, the east is Serbian, and the Black Mountain in the south. It can be said that except for the Aderyia Sea on the west, the mixed -race virtue of the Dar Martia kingdom was surrounded by Mrs. Slap.
And this also makes the mixed -race virtues of the Dal Martia kingdom more loyal to the king and patriotic. Bloody of war in other parts of the territory.
Moreover, this loyalty is spontaneous. Since the cooperation country has blocked the Suez Canal and Gibraltar, East Africa, the behind the scenes of the Dal Martia kingdom, quietly ended.
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
Today, the Kingdom of Dal Martia has completely become a new political subject in the Austro -Hungarian Empire. In fact, if the purebred Germans of the Austro -Hungarian Empire are willing to accept them, there is almost no difference between the two.
For the Kingdom of Dal Martia, Prime Minister Conrad frowned and said: "The new Dal Martia kingdom is really easier to moralized, but after all, they ..."
The Kingdom of Dal Martia was originally the kingdom of the Austro -Hungarian Empire, but in the past, the main nation of the Dal Martia kingdom was Romania and Serbian.
With the opportunity of World War I, mixed -race morals, or black households who were stuffed by East Africa, not only logically became the new main residents of the Dal Martia Kingdom, and successfully grasped the local right to speak. This is also Dal Mariti. The cause of the Asian Kingdom was called the "Kingdom of New Dal Martia".
No wonder Conrad has prejudice to the new Dal Martia kingdom. After all, Conrad is a purebred German.
Rudorf certainly knew Conrad's concerns, so he explained: "Although this mixed -race and virtue will look nondescript, for the national conditions of the empire, we must accept them as a member of the German will."
"Otherwise, the fertility of Austria alone, without replenishment of fresh blood, then the concept of Germany will naturally die in the imperial territory."
"At that time, the empire lost the opportunity to assimilate the Hungarian, Croatia, Slovenia and other regions because of this prejudice and arrogance. We cannot let the Kingdom of Dal Martia become new political forces like Hungary and other ethnic groups in the future."
Because of economic development, the fertility rate of Germans in the Austro -Hungarian Empire is low, while Dal Martia's mixed -race Germans have a high fertility rate. In addition to being influenced by the traditional thinking of the Far East Empire, the main reason is that Dalma Tia's economic level is not high.
After all, the basic conditions of the Dal Martia kingdom are poor. If it wasn't for the original investment of East Africa, there would be no poor industry at the moment.
Rudorf went on to say: "Although East Africa's original behavior was very despicable, I have to say that the high fertility rate of hybrid morals is very eye -catching."
"If the traditional German group in the empire can also have such a high fertility rate, then I don't need to worry about the problems of the main ethnic group."
As a mixed -race virtue of Dal Martia, as a foreigner, it can develop to a population of nearly one million in decades and become the main ethnic group of the Dal Martia region, which is almost a miracle.
If the Germans of the Austro -Hungarian Empire have this consciousness, the number of Germans of the empire has been several times that of the number of virtues, even if it doubles, the German population in the Austro -Hungarian Empire can reach more than 20 million. The total population of the Austro -Hungarian Empire was only more than 50 million.
However, the fertility rate is not better than Hungary and Mrs. Slaw.
Conrad said: "The population growth is always the upper limit, after all, the place of the Dal Martia kingdom is so small."
And Conrad's remarks not only did not persuade Rudorf, but made Rudolph's eyes shine, with new ideas.
He said: "Since Dar Martia's mixed -race morality is so capable, we should encourage this situation even more. At the same time, we support these mixed -race virtues to Venice, Croatia, Persia," through various policies.
The reason why Rudorf puts Venice first is that Venice is currently the most promising in areas where Germanization is most hopeful and strategic and economic value is very important.
Venice is a passage connecting the Austrian and Archai Sea. The problem of going out of the sea alone, Rudorf hopes that Venice can become part of Austria.
Moreover, another benefit of integrating Venice is that the population fertility rate of Venice is not enough, which is still severely damaged by the local population.
During the Olympic War, a large number of Venice Italians had greatly reduced the Venice's population in order to avoid war to immigrate overseas.
Because of geographical advantages, Venice has always been very good in the Austro -Hungarian Empire because of its geographical advantages, which has also made Venice's fertility rate not boost, although the Austro -Hungarian Empire did not want Venice's Italians to give birth.
Rudorf said: "We can completely turn Dal Martia into a fertility base of German, and then continue to encourage and support. The locals go to Venice to settle. In this way, the German population in Venice has further increased."

"Gradually replace the Italians and become the new main ethnic group of Venice, which can not only promote the integration of the population, but also stabilize our rule of Venice, avoid this most important outlet, and be taken away by the Italians again." "
With the painful lesson of losing Venice in the last century, Rudolf naturally did not want historical to repeat itself, and the Austrian government has been banned from smuggling and immigration to Venice by residents of the Italian Peninsula.
When he heard the bold plan of Rudorf Emperor, Conrad did not oppose it, but carefully thought about the feasibility. After all, the plan of Rudorf was really feasible.
