Chapter 535: Ambition in existence

The Vienna government bulletin board posted a surprising job offer. It is not surprising that the colonial government recruits public officials. It takes place every year, and the strange thing is the above.
Watching liveliness is the essence of human beings, and every time the bulletin board is updated, it will attract many people. There are not many entertainment activities in this era, and discussing gossip is also one of the fun of everyone.
Although there were many people gathered, the scene was not chaotic. Everyone consciously followed the rules and did not disturb or bump.
With so many people, it is obviously impossible to see the content on the bulletin board at the same time, and the people inside have already read the content on the bulletin.
"The South African colonial government commissioned the Austrian Organization Department to recruit public officials. This time, a total of 4,800 people were recruited, including 1,000 government employees and 3,800 police.
Conditions for registration: 1. Must be an Austrian citizen, with good health, healthy limbs, and no criminal record; 2. Received complete compulsory education, and all assignments are above the pass line; 3. Able to bear hardships and stand hard work, with a minimum service life of 8 year.
Remarks: To apply for a police post, it is necessary to have certain military literacy and at least have received reserve training, and retired officers and soldiers have priority. Officers under the age of 30 can relax to 40.
Treatment: The salary is doubled on the basis of the domestic average level of the same post. The welfare treatment refers to the Vienna standard. "
Salaries are not mentioned first. Colonial conditions are harsh, and they may be in danger at any time. Naturally, salaries are higher than those in China.
The problem is that the requirements are not too high, but too low. According to the above criteria, more than 90% of Austrian young people of school age are eligible.
If the treatment given above is local, the final restriction must be university start, military merit, or noble status, which is generally one of the three.
Of course, colonies can't ask for this, but they usually start with a high school education, or a threshold for excellent retired officers and soldiers.
There are almost no restrictions this time. Of course, this is not a surprise. The fewer the restrictions, the greater the number of applicants, and the final competition will increase.
No one is going in bad conditions? That's because the price you gave is not high enough. As long as you are willing to throw money, how can nobody be?
Recruiting people according to this standard, not to mention 4,800 people, even 4.8 million people, Austria can easily make up.
Of course, there are certainly not so many willing to go to the African continent. The South African colonial government lowered its admissions standards, mainly due to the gold rush.
In order to ensure the stability of the administrative system, restrictions are set. Once a contract is signed, it is a compulsory service, and you cannot leave the office before the expiration.
This will definitely dissuade many people. Africa is different from homeland. In case of poor conditions in the distribution area, they cannot leave early, and most people cannot bear it.
After hearing the restrictions, the argument continued to sound. Most people are just watching the fun, and are not interested in this admission.
There are also people who want to try their luck. In this era, the worse the place, the greater the chance.
Colonial governments are not stupid. They have no value and do not have administrative institutions. In recent years, Austrian Africa has developed very fast, and many poor and remote areas have become emerging cities.
With each major development, a group of lucky people have risen with it. There are not many opportunities for ordinary people to enter the ruling class. Domestic public officials are only the minimum standard for enrolling in middle school.
For most people who have just completed compulsory education, this remains elusive. Geniuses are always a minority. Ordinary people want to go further. In addition to hard work, they also rely on certain luck.
Stevie is one of them. It belongs to the kind you can't find on the street. The average worker's family background is good in school, but he has not been able to enter the middle school. He entered the factory to work after the compulsory education.
Working day after day, Steve, a fledgling, was very uncomfortable. However, reality does not allow him to be willful, and to work honestly every day.
Steve's eyes brightened when he heard the recruitment conditions. However, he did not risk crowding in, the discipline that has been cultivated for a long time, and the Austrian people have become accustomed to lining up.
After reading the announcement in front, the people consciously retreated, and then added up in order, the scene was orderly.
This is one of the fruits of compulsory education. From the first day of enrollment, we must learn to observe order. After so many years, everyone has developed a good habit of observing order.
Time passed quickly and it was Steve's turn. After carefully reading the announcement, it was determined that there was nothing left, and Steve's heart was not calm.
Afraid conditions on the African continent? Sorry, Stevie doesn't have this qualification yet. As a member of the general public, it is not easy to have an opportunity. What qualifications are there to choose from?
The local conditions are really good, but the ordinary Stevie has no advantage. The best way to stay in the country is to hone your skills. It is difficult for ordinary workers to be promoted to skilled workers.
To get ahead, he has missed the best opportunity. From the moment he failed in college, Steve was doomed to fight for three meals a day.
Every day I work hard for survival, and talk about development is nonsense. Although now at the cusp of the Second Industrial Revolution, this has nothing to do with Stevie.
There is no capital, no connections, and no ability. Even if you see the opportunity, there is no way to join it.
Fortunately, there are only a few lucky people who rise by invention every year. If you look at the whole of Austria, that chance is only one in ten million.
Many unwilling young people chose the biggest gamble in their lives and ventured to the colonies.
Stevie was ready to do the same, but he was blocked by his parents. The family is not rich, but they can live on. Parents naturally do not want him to venture out.
These days, simply wanting to emigrate to the colony for life, the danger is not high, but if you want to get rich, you still need to fight for it.
The death rate of adventurers has never been lower. Every year in Austria, there are countless adventurers who fall in the middle of getting rich. There are few who are really rich. Most people just earn more than ordinary people many.
There is no way, the golden age of colonization is over. Now trying to expand a colony is much more difficult than it used to be.
Except for the backcountry, most of the rich land is owned by the owner. The kind of land that can't be recovered even if the cost of rule is turned into a colony, there is no need to get a return, the reality is so cruel.
Stevie took the recruitment as an opportunity to turn around, even if the conditions were bad and there was little room for promotion, it was better than continuing to work in the factory, at least in terms of salary.
Many people have dreams of Huaiyu, but few have succeeded. For ordinary people, it is very difficult to get an opportunity in any era.
...
At the Vienna Palace, the happy Habsburg family is still holding a banquet. Perhaps he was going to be a father, and Massimilino's mental state was much better.
Franz was absent. The Russian could not help but want to act with Austria. He still had a lot to do.
War is never a child's play. Anyone who despises war has no good results in the end.
The Russians have many enemies. They are enemies from west to east. If you want to join forces with Austria, then the target is self-evident, Prussia, Poland, or the Ottoman Empire.
This multiple choice question is not so easy to do. We must weigh the pros and cons and comprehensively consider the impact it will have on the international situation.
Franz first ruled out the Kingdom of Prussia, but he had a face. In any case, the Kingdom of Prussia also belongs to the German nation. Collaborating with outsiders to deal with fellow citizens, the public opinion is not good.
If it does, Franz's reputation in the German region will also stink. Nationalists would not agree with such a government, and Prussians would not admit defeat.
This is a sequel to nationalism. When establishing the Shinshiro Empire, Franz used nationalism and now naturally has to bear the consequences.
Moreover, the strategic position of the Kingdom of Prussia is too bad, all sides are enemies and there is no danger to defend. To occupy the kingdom of Prussia, you must first be prepared to be universal.
Unfortunately, Franz did not plan to be hostile to the world. As a member of the vested interests of the world order, Austria has no need to challenge it.
The rest of Poland and the Ottoman Empire need to carefully weigh the pros and cons. He must beware of being pulled into the water by the Russians, and finally evolved into a Continental War.
Restricted by national strength and transportation, the great nations might not be able to fight the national war in this era, but it may still happen because of the war.
Franz stared at the world map on the wall and turned his back to the crowd and asked, "The Russians want to join us. What do you think?"
Russia and Austria are not allies, but this alliance does not include joint expansion. The previous strategic transaction was completed by both parties.
If you want to continue to cooperate, you must communicate. Otherwise, as during the Russian-Prussian War, the Russians provoked the war, while Austria was paddling happily.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Weissenberg: "Your Majesty, the situation in Europe is now difficult to stabilize, and once the war is provoked, it will be difficult for us to control the scale of the war.
From the point of view of interest, whether we start with the Ottoman Empire or with Poland, we can only get very limited returns.
If the Polish kingdom is attacked, the Prussians are bound to participate. If Britain and France insist on supporting Poland, the final enemy is likely to evolve into Britain, France, and the United Kingdom.
Even if the French need to digest the Italian region and will not take military action, then in the end, it is nothing more than to reproduce the pattern of sharing Poland between Russia and Russia.
Frankly, I don't think there is anything in the Kingdom of Poland that deserves our attention. Even if there is something to gain, it will only be icing on the cake. The only effect is probably to make the general conflict between Russia and Russia even further.
There is not much to gain from the Ottoman Empire. Unless we join forces with the Russians to kill them all at once, the benefits that can be divided are bound to be very limited.
To achieve this step is almost impossible, the Ottoman Empire is still a big country, and European countries will not sit by and watch us divide.
The Russian Empire is no longer domineering in the past. In the face of European intervention, I am afraid that the final pressure will fall on us. "
There is no doubt that Weissenberg is opposed to provoking war now. Not only him, many people in the Vienna government did not want to start a war at this time, including Franz.
There are just a lot of situations that can't be solved without thinking. If there is no movement in Austria, many will not sleep.
We cannot always say: The Vienna government loves peace and has no ambitions for Europe. Let everyone sleep at ease.
Franz himself did not believe this statement. The definition of "ambition" is very vague. In many cases, strength is ambition. As long as you have strength, you have ambition in the eyes of the outside world, which is not controlled by individuals.
