Chapter 149: Cleanse the official team

The dispute over the route exists in any country with ideals. This is an unsolvable problem. There is no so-called right or wrong, just to see if it is appropriate.
At present, there are sufficient reasons for the claims of the Balkans and South Germans.
From a development perspective, the Balkans are richer in land and richer in resources, which can speed up Austria's economic development; while the South German region has the most needed population in Austria.
Both sides are important, but considering the issue of national integration, Franz still prefers to give priority to the South German region.
Once South Germany was annexed, the Austrian Empire stabilized. The government can allow ethnic minorities to live together and accelerate the pace of ethnic integration through immigration.
According to Franz, the best way to accelerate national integration is to marry. The birth of a couple is equivalent to the identity of two families, and it can also affect the positions of a group of relatives and friends.
The number of marriages has increased, and the next generations are of mixed ethnicity. These people naturally have the highest recognition of the products of ethnic integration.
Metternich said slowly: "This question must be cautious first west or south.
The international situation is ever-changing. Even if we make a decision now, we may still be forced to give up by force majeure.
The Russians might do something to the Ottoman Empire, and that's just possible. What will happen in the end is unknown.
The Russian-Turkish war has been fought so many times, and the Ottoman Empire is still standing. Who can guarantee that the Russians can swallow them in one go? I am afraid that everyone does not think that the Russians can do it?
In this case, it depends on the response of the British and French. If they go to war for the Ottomans and Russians, then whether we choose to go west or south, we have the possibility to operate.
If Britain and France do not participate in the war, we want to annex the South German region, I am afraid it is a dream, even if we want to obtain too much benefit in the Balkans, they will be interfered by. "
The historical Crimean war was full of coincidence. Napoleon III had just resumed and needed an external military victory to consolidate his position. The British wanted to fight the Russians and ensure their interests in the Mediterranean.
It was at this time that the Russians sought to gain control of the Black Sea Strait, while harming the economic interests of Britain and France. As soon as the London and Paris governments negotiated, they decided to do it.
Then the suicidal Crimean war broke out, and it has to be said that this was a worse battle. Both in Britain and France, and in Russia, more people are killed by logistic pits than on the battlefield.
No matter how historians cover up, they cannot change the fact that soldiers enter the battlefield. The biggest enemy is not the enemy, but the fact that it is disease and logistics.
In a suicide war, in the end, it was natural to lose both. The fur bears lost on the Crimean battlefield, but on the Caucasus battlefield they found it again, and the awkward Ottoman cried and called.
The final result of the war was no compensation and no land mutilation. The biggest loss was the victor Ottoman Empire, exposing itself to its weak nature, and becoming a fat sheep divided by the next powers.
Britain and France won a strategic victory, the Russians were shut out of the Black Sea, the "Northern Three Courts Alliance" was split, and Russia's European hegemonic status was ended.
Franz agreed with Engels's assessment that it was a "large misunderstanding comedy."
Will history change under his butterfly effect? Where will it go?
What if the Russians chose to change the battlefield? For example, the main attack direction is in the Caucasus, or it sends troops to attack the Bosporus in advance, or even pushes it all the way from the Balkans.
If so many things are possible, the Russian-Australian alliance will not fail in Austria, and the Russians have more strategic choices.
This is a one-on-one move. If the Russians acted in advance and Louis-Napoleon-Bonabas had not yet completed the restoration, the French government would continue to engage in internal fighting. It is estimated that it would not be possible for John Cow to enter the battlefield.
Without the British-French Ottoman group beating Russia, Austria had no chance to go westward except to expand in the Balkans.
"Mr. Metternich is right, the question of strategic choices is too early. At this time, what we need to do is not to prepare for expansion, but to sort out internal problems of the government.
The first problem is the insufficient implementation capacity of the government. From the central government to the local government, there is a lack of execution. This is the largest cancer in the current government.
If officials can't follow through on government orders, what's the use of keeping them?
The Austrian government is not the place where they care for the elderly. Officials with insufficient ability, uneasy work, and trying to hang around, let them go home early to plant potatoes! "
The dispute over the route could not be achieved in a short time, and Franz decisively chose to shift the topic. He had wanted to deal with the internal affairs, but he never had a chance.
In 1848, the government was busy fighting wars and ignored these issues, but just sorted it out and killed a few unconscious bureaucrats.
In 1849, the government was busy. Shortly after Franz succeeded him, he wanted to ensure domestic stability. Compulsory education was launched, the civil service examination system was creatively adopted, and Austria's pillar industries were identified.
Now that the government is finally idle, Franz will naturally not let the cabinet do nothing. Nothing else, then clean up the official team.
Anti-corruption is a good weapon, but Franz, the emperor, cannot shout. Now corrupt officials in the Austrian government are everywhere, and everyone is vulnerable.
In fact, since Franz's succession, the Austrian bureaucracy has been a lot cleaner. In the face of a strong emperor, many people have consciously converged their actions.
The upper levels of government have become clean, and the lower and middle levels must be affected. There are not many fools who can enter the political arena, knowing what to do when.
During Ferdinand I, the emperor was unable to handle government affairs, and his power fell to the governing council.
A group of ministers struggled with each other, and it was too late to win the people down. How could it be a matter of corruption for the little things?
It ca n’t be killed with a single stick, so is it always possible to grasp the execution ability? Franz wasn't about to kill any more, but just drove the incompetent officials home.
If you are unlucky and the corruption is found, then there is no way. Austria is a legal country.
Incompetence is more terrible than corruption. If you are both corrupt and incompetent, then you will never be forgiven.
It doesn't need to be much. Just drive one percent of the incompetent home and pick out a few unlucky eggs to kill chickens and tamarins, and Austria's rule of government will be curbed.
In the second thought of killing the corrupt officials, Franz will not have it. If it is similar in emerging countries, Austria's old empire, interest groups have long collusion.
As an emperor, every time a small group of unscrupulous and wanton people are hit, there is no problem. As long as the excuse is appropriate, everyone will cooperate actively.
If you want to wipe out the interest groups all at once, they are forced to rush, and they will not be able to do the emperor change.
Bureaucracy cannot be expected, as long as they do not violate the bottom line, Franz's tolerance is still very high.
Clean officials need to be used, corrupt officials also need to be used, even fainted officials can leave a few, as long as they are placed in a suitable position, they can play an unexpected role.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Felix replied
He is ready to promote the examination system. This is a performance evaluation system specially designed by the Austrian government to avoid the passive work of officials below.
This standard is not very high, as long as it can complete the work within its own scope of responsibility and act in accordance with government regulations, it is considered qualified.
If you have made achievements on this basis, congratulations on your preparation for promotion.
Conversely, if you do not act in accordance with the government's rules and regulations, and you do not have a successful performance, you are the incompetent who want to clean up.
Economic development is a political achievement, promotion of national integration is a political achievement, universal compulsory education is a political achievement, and the actual implementation of government decrees is also a political achievement.
The scope involved is very wide, as long as achievements are made in one area, that is all political achievement.
The Austrian government is cracking down on disobedient and incompetent officials.
The central government asks you to promote Austrian. You go to promote local dialects. Who's finished if you're not finished?
As an object of government crackdown, it is natural to check your wallet. If the problem is found, it will be used as a typical chicken killing tamarin.
How many officials have lost their hats because of this, and how many officials have been promoted because of this, Franz is not very concerned, he only needs the final result.
