Chapter 770: Trouble

The basic plate of the Ottoman Empire is mainly concentrated in the Asia Minor Peninsula. The Sudanese government's control over other regions is obviously much lower.
Especially after the anti-Turkish coalition cut off the Sudanese government's ties with the local area, the control force disappeared.
Loyal ministers are only a few. In the face of cruel reality, the weakness of human nature is exposed.
Seeing that the Ottoman government has gone, people who are unwilling to stay with the empire have begun to look for a way forward.
Baghdad is just the beginning. After Austria entered the two river basins, there were endless incidents of deserting the city.
People are blindly observing. Seeing that the nobles and grandfathers have run away, the ordinary people naturally rush to follow suit, and the Persian border was overcrowded for a while.
...
Baghdad, Middle East Theater Command
General Morx asked with concern: "Dennis, how many people left?"
Denise's middle-aged officer replied: "About 120,000 people left in Baghdad, and about 500,000 people left in the entire two river basins."
Admiral Morks frowned, "Not enough. There are still too few people left. The battle between the two rivers has basically ended, and the rest is just sporadic resistance.
The local population is more than 3 million. Even if it is because of the war, there are at least 22.3 million, minus more than 500,000 left, and the remaining is 1.7 million.
To move so many people in the future, it is necessary to spend huge amounts of money. The best way is to let them take the initiative to leave.
When the news was released, we said that we would implement the "Land Fallow Law". In the next two decades, the cultivation of grain and livestock in both river basins will be prohibited. "
True or false news is often the easiest to believe.
With a little bit of information, it became clear that after the occupation of the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Arabian Peninsula, Austria had implemented land fallow laws.
Except for a few cities over there, everything is rich in weeds and bushes, and the inland areas are basically uninhabited for thousands of miles.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander!" Major General Dennis replied.
Hesitating for a moment, Dennis still expressed his doubts: "Her Commander, leave them to create wealth, we can collect taxes immediately, why must we move the population away?"
In many people's opinion, the Land Fallow Law of the Vienna government is tossing around blindly, and it has no substantial value except for labor and people's injuries.
The protection of the environment is not yet popular, and no objection has been raised in front of it, which involves Jerusalem. The holy land is almost buried by the wind and sand, and it is not ridiculous to not protect it.
The Arabian Peninsula can only be considered incidental, there is nothing local, there is no shortage of camels in Austria, let's fallow.
The two river basins are different. The Mesopotamian plain is very fertile, and both agriculture and animal husbandry can be developed.
The era of soaring population has not yet come. Take Iraq as an example. Before the war, there were 1.2 million people and water resources were relatively rich.
General Morks smiled slightly: "Nature is for stability, don't you think these people will accept our rule with peace of mind?"
After hearing this answer, Dennis was even more confused. The Ottoman Empire was able to suppress these people, and Austria was also worried about local stability. It was a joke to say it.
Colonial empires have their own methods of governance. Generally speaking, if you cannot solve a problem, you can use one method to solve it-"kill"!
General Morks continued to explain: "If it is an ordinary colony, it is naturally not worth our blood, but the two river basins are special.
Our people have found oil here, and geologists estimate that the oil reserves in the two river basins are likely to exceed the total amount of oil found in the world.
Scientists believe that oil is the next most important energy source, and it is likely to replace coal in the future. "
Dennis shook his head in disbelief and blurted out: "This is impossible! Oil has limited uses. How can it replace coal?"
Admiral Morks waved his hand: "This question is not something I can answer. Anyway, scientists convinced the government to convince the country to believe this judgment."
Looking at Dennis in a state of self-doubt, Admiral Morques continued: "Well, can oil replace the status of coal? This question allows time to prove.
For now, as long as we know that the role of oil is very important, our domestic reserves are very small, and the two river basins have many reserves.
As far as energy security is concerned, in order to ensure the safety of oil extraction, we must take full control of this area. "
Morks doesn't believe that oil replaces coal's place in energy, but as long as it is "possible", it is worthy of attention.
In order to make the French aware of the "importance of energy", the Vienna government has made a lot of publicity. Now Europeans know that energy is important.
After hesitating for a moment, Dennis slowly said: "Her Commander, if this is the case, then it is not enough to release the news.
It is better to have practical actions, such as: increasing the war tax, setting a tax that exceeds the affordability of most people, or sending people directly to persuade them to leave.
The Persians have learned the lessons of the last refugee crisis, drawn a cordon in the border area, and now a large number of refugees have gathered there.
Without opening the passage, even if these people want to leave, they cannot go out. "
There is definitely more to this channel than leaving. The problem is that they did not dare to go in Russia and Austria did not let them in.
Admiral Morx nodded: "This is indeed a problem, and I will report to Vienna to win domestic support.
However, the chances of success are very low, and even if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs intervenes, the Persians will not have the courage to accept these two million people.
Instigating the refugees to go through the customs first is really impossible. Let the troops create a misunderstanding and tear up a gap. "
The Anti-Turkish Alliance did not support it. Under the pressure of the British government's military and diplomatic pressure, Persian talents released British materials into Ottomans.
For this reason, the Persian government explained to Vienna and St. Petersburg many times, but unfortunately this does not make any sense, and most of the time do not like to reason.
In General Morx's view, for whatever reason, Persia stood on the opposite side of the anti-Turkish alliance and had to pay a price.
...
At the Vienna Palace, the progress of the Austrian army in the two river basins went smoothly, and did not reassure Franz. The news reported by Admiral Morks even caused him a headache.
The Middle East Theater considers the issue of those one or two million people, and the Emperor Franz needs to consider the issue of more than 3 million people, even more than 4 million people.
There is no way, the Ottoman government is crazy, does not mean that the generals below are crazy, all the soldiers are not fake, they still have to surrender if they cannot win.
There are still a million or two million prisoners of war on the Asia Minor Peninsula. After all, the Sudanese government has gone crazy, and the losses have been so great that locals have no food for improper prisoners of war.
Forced by helplessness, the Vienna government had to support this large group of "prisoners of war." Both sides were soaked in each other's blood, and Franz didn't think he had the ability to influence them.
Sending off is a must, and Franz doesn't care about spending money. It should be an early investment. The question is where to send people.
Foreign Minister Weissenberg: "His Majesty, most of the countries in the Americas have refused to accept refugee immigrants, and the United States of America has agreed to accept some migrants, but only to young workers."
There was no way. The Ottomans were originally unpopular, and countries in the Americas never received immigration from the Ottoman Empire, not to mention the old, weak, and the children.
The United States of America was willing to accept it. It was affected by the Franz Butterfly effect. Europeans immigrated to the United States and the capitalists were severely understaffed.
It is a pity that no matter how scarce people are, the capitalists only need a young and capable labor force that can create wealth and have no love for the old and the weak.
"What plans does the government have?" Franz asked
Prime Minister Felix: "The government has three options. First, divide a piece of land from the colony and move these people over;
Second, throw the troubles on the forthcoming Kingdom of Amelia;
Third, use the Persian support of Ottomans as an excuse to provoke war ahead of time and expel these people into Persia.
Each of these three options has advantages and disadvantages. Dividing land for resettlement from the colonies can only be done from the Americas or Nanyang, which costs a lot.
It seems to be the easiest to throw to the Kingdom of Amelia, but there are many follow-up troubles.
The Russians must be reluctant to give the Amelia a rich land to establish the country. This new kingdom is likely to not be able to support so many people.
Deportation into Persia is the least expensive, but it is too violent and can easily affect our international reputation. "
