Chapter 595: Fight for survival


On June 12, 1875, Ferdinand I of Austria died of illness in Jerusalem. According to his last wishes, Franz held a state funeral in Jerusalem.
Ferdinand I didn't have a strong sense of existence in Austria. He didn't make any significant contributions throughout his life, and of course he didn't have any notoriety, leaving everyone with the image of "good old man".
The funeral was very grand, and the guests were ready-made. They had just participated in Franz's coronation ceremony, and everyone was still visiting the places of interest in Jerusalem.
Of course, this is just a rhetoric. In fact, Jerusalem is a large construction site. The buildings in the city are being reconstructed in accordance with the meaning of the Holy See. There is nothing beautiful.
The truth is that Franz sent people to inform everyone that the European aristocracy is a family, and everyone who is near or far away is a relative. It is natural to give face when all come.
Ferdinand I was not a qualified monarch. In the eyes of the older generation of the Habsburgs, it was a shame, but in the eyes of the younger generation, he was a qualified elder. The atmosphere at the funeral was very heavy.
Affected by the sorrowful atmosphere, after a funeral, Franz was not well. Without hesitation, he ordered an immediate return to Vienna.
It's no use to persuade. July is about to come. Jerusalem in this season is a disaster.
Anyone who wants to stay here to cultivate their health, then stay for themselves, anyway, Franz is not to be accompanied.
In the end, Empress Sophie, three members of the family of Maximilian I, and several members of the lineage remained, and Franz returned with the rest.
This was the result of Franz's efforts to force the two younger brothers back. Communication with the nobles is also an important task these years. No one in the royal family can do it.
In addition, Franz is also worried about history repeating itself. One of these two people in the original time and space had drank the water of the Jordan River and died of the disease during the pilgrimage.
Those who are left now are not the same. They all have the attributes of a dead house. They can stay at home without going out, and they will not run around at all.
...
Ankara, the situation in Ottoman's country has improved a lot since the completion of the disaster, and social order is gradually recovering.
There are advantages and disadvantages. Despite stabilizing the social order, the Al-Shabaab government headed by Midhart is still condemned by all sectors of society.
The artillery parties have given countless reasons to criticize the government for its brutality, decay, incompetence, blood ...
Sultan Abdul Hamid II also made statements on many public occasions, criticizing the government for serious faults in dealing with refugees.
These changes have left the Ottoman Al-Shabaab inexperienced in political struggles with no idea how to respond.
Foreign Minister Albiacs: "Prime Minister, the Russians used force to expel all refugees, and about 5,000 people died under the butcher's knife of the Tsar's army.
This is a diplomatic note from the Tsarist government. The Russians have ordered us to resume the situation immediately and threatened to intervene by force. "
Taking over the file, Middlehart sighed. In the past, when he heard that the Russians slaughtered so many Ottomans, he would definitely thunder, and now it is just a number in his ears.
Weak countries have no diplomacy. These people die in vain, and the Ottoman Empire cannot be held accountable to the Tsarist government.
After a long silence, Midhart said slowly: "Since the Russian Empire cannot go, send it to Persia!"
After a pause, he added: "Are there any troubles in Austria. Has the Vienna government accepted refugees?"
It wasn't Midhart's heart as hard as a stone that was forced out by reality. Insufficient domestic food is destined to starve to death.
If refugees are allowed to stay in the country, many areas that have resumed production will also be destroyed, and there will only be more people starved to death.
In order to keep more people, he had to be ruthless. There is also a prerequisite for this, that is, it cannot be interfered by the powers, especially Austria.
"No, the Austrians arrested all the refugees in the name of illegal immigration. After being collected and tried, they were sent to prison."
The law does not blame the public, it may be feasible in the later generations of the rise of Notre Dame, but there is no market in this era. No one can pick a stab at the Vienna government to act in accordance with the law.
Middlehart was eloquent, and the result was terrible, but it was not unacceptable. With the Russian precedent ahead, Midhart's expectations dropped from the beginning.
...
At this time, the situation in Persia also changed. Seeing the snowball-like expansion of the refugee tide and the expected international interference, the British nations have been slow to unify their views, and the Persian government is aware of the danger.
Persia is just an agricultural country with limited productivity and simply cannot afford to house so many refugees. Even simple relief is beyond their capabilities.
The Persians also hate these locust-like uninvited guests. Let them take out money and food to help this group of people, but they are unwilling to do so.
After repeated warnings, the Persian government once again showed the world the sharpness of the "Persian Blade" and the slaughter began.
No matter right or wrong, everyone is fighting for survival. Refugees need to grab more food if they want to survive; the Persian government needs to protect the lives and property of the people and can only kill these uninvited guests.
When Franz returned, the most brutal scene was staged in the Persian region, and the two sides were killed in blood.
Without any accident, the Uighurs are doomed to defeat the regular army, even if the Ottoman government is in control.
However, the Persians, who were victors, were not good, hesitating that the Persian army did not retain their captives, broke the path for the refugees to surrender, and the battle was extremely fierce.
That's all, nothing more than a big loss. The most troublesome is that there are too many refugees. It is easy to destroy them, and it is difficult to wipe them out.
Even though the Persian army has been heavily guarded, many refugees have flowed to the rear, making the Persian place uneasy.
Under the force of hatred, these refugees have been turned into gangsters, burning and looting along the way, doing nothing evil, and the atrocities have made the bandits and robbers ashamed.
According to incomplete statistics, after the war, the total population of Persia dropped by 1.5 million, and the total economic volume fell by a quarter. The loss is imaginable.
...
The tragedy that took place in Persia soon spread across the European continent, and the impact was far less severe than Franz thought. The vast majority of Europeans were eating melons.
In this era, both the Ottomans and the Persians belong to races without human rights, and mainstream society does not take them as a thing at all.
Except for a few Notre Dame parties clamoring and asking European countries to relieve refugees, most of the people are watching. I do n’t have enough to eat. Who cares about others?
In order to eat three meals a day, most workers have to work hard in the factory for more than ten hours a day, dare not get sick or take vacations, and only get paid.
What a joke to ask the government to pay for Ottoman refugees? There is still a large group of people in the country who need relief. The government ca n’t help it. They dare to give money to the enemy. This is a naked treason!
The Madonna Party didn't toss out a few waves and was overwhelmed by the overwhelming attacks. The Ottoman Empire did not last long. Without one hundred and eighty years, it is difficult for everyone to forget hatred.

As one of the directors of this tragedy, Prime Minister Gulston is very satisfied with the development of the situation. Although the casualties were a little bigger, it was all worth it.
After losing so many people at one time, the internal contradictions of the Ottoman Empire have been greatly eased, and the nail that restrained Austria was finally kept.
The massive destruction of refugees in Persia and the creation of opportunities for Britain's invasion of Persia are two killings.
Foreign Minister Macleans: "His Excellency the Prime Minister, this is a diplomatic note from the Ottoman government. They want us to fulfill their promises and provide them with a counterinsurance fund.
Judging from the current situation, the biggest crisis of the Ottoman Empire has passed, and the risk of providing them with loans has been greatly reduced.
It is not certain, however, that the Persians are now massaging refugees. In order to survive, these people are likely to return to the Ottoman Empire again.
Perhaps this number will be greatly reduced, but as soon as one third of the people return, the Ottoman government will soon be in trouble.
And after experiencing this, these surviving refugees may not be able to live in peace. In essence, these people have already learned badly and are not suitable for being submissive. "
Prime Minister Gilston nodded: "This is an inevitable result, but in general, the situation in the Ottoman Empire has improved.
These refugees turned into mobs, let the Ottoman government handle it! Neither disposition nor strict discipline has anything to do with us.
In any case, they also helped to destroy the Persians. They are our friends. Britain never treats its friends.
As long as we are sure that the Ottoman government has stabilized and has the ability to repay debt, we can provide them with loans.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can communicate with the French to support a nail to restrain Austria, nor can we all contribute to it.
If the French were willing to contribute, Ottoman Army training could be entrusted to them. "
