Chapter 394： Opportunity in war (2/2)
Under normal circumstances, Russians do not move people in the religious world, which does not mean that they dare not move. In this age of barrenness and chaos, it's nothing to kill a few people.
Without wandering, Father Prague went straight into the church in the city. No matter how high or low, Europeans can relate to churches in this era.
There is a saying that goes well: just find someone to wait at the door of the church.
”Priest, what is it so urgent?”
A luxuriously dressed middle-aged man who spoke, met Fr. Prague a few times, and the two were nodded.
When I met an acquaintance, Fr. Prague, who was trying to find out, had a little surprise on his face. Asked puzzled, ”Mr. James, haven't you left?”
The situation is not good now, and the rich are running away from the war. Under normal circumstances, a well-informed businessman such as James cannot not know the news in advance.
James replied, ”I just came back after completing a business, and the Russians came. But I won the nationality of the empire not long ago, and the Russians will not embarrass me.”
”Empire” is naturally the Shen Luo Empire. Even if a new word is added, it is also the only recognized empire in Germany.
Russians are not lunatics, so naturally they will not find trouble for foreigners, especially businessmen of the Allies.
Fr. Prague said in surprise: ”God bless, Mr. James, you are so lucky to have escaped this disaster.
Now the Russians are looting around. I am in Ficks Town. Because I ca n’t get the money, I am threatened by the Russians with 500 workers. ”
Of course, these news can not be concealed from James. As a successful businessman, the most important thing is to be informed.
At this time, he returned to Gunisburg to make money. The Austrian colony lacked labor, and sending immigrants to the colony was also a business.
James is fancy for the opportunity of the war. He has signed labor export contracts with a number of companies in the Austrian colonies, and now he is back to pull people.
To organize immigration elsewhere, Russians may interfere. If you go to the Austrian colonies, there will be no problem at all, and the loans in Vienna will not be taken for free.
Back this time, James also passed with the colonial government. As long as he can fool the people to the colony, if something goes wrong, the Austrian Foreign Ministry will take care of the aftermath.
James pretended to be surprised and exclaimed: ”God! Five hundred laborers, isn't Ficks Town going to have bad mold?”
Father Prague nodded bitterly, and said helplessly: ”It is true, and I have no way to come for help.”
At this time, Bishop Bernard came over, accompanied by seven or eight priests, and by looking at their faces, they knew that something bad had happened.
Father Prague repeated what he said just now, and Bishop Bernard reluctantly said, ”Sorry, I can't do anything about this problem, everyone has encountered this problem.
I have visited Russian officers on behalf of the church, and unfortunately I was not even driven in by the gate and was driven out. ”
No way, who made them Protestant and the Russians were Orthodox?
I did n’t yell and kill when I came across heresy, that ’s all for my face, but I ca n’t count on giving them a good look?
Looking at the crowd, James knew that the opportunity had come.
”My Excellency, if you want to avoid the Russian labor, I suggest that you first organize the people to leave Gnisburg and return after the war is over.”
Bishop Bernard shook his head and said, ”Mr. James, your approach won't work. The Russians set up Lucas on the main road, and they will never let everyone leave.”
James smiled slightly and said, ”Of course under normal circumstances, it is impossible to pass. But we can detour by other means. Russia and Austria signed the” Labor Employment Treaty ”two years ago.
We can sign a short-term employment contract with the Austrian company, and then take a boat to the Austrian colonies to take refuge, and return to Gnisburg after the war is over. ”
This is purely flickering, it is easy to enter the Austrian colony, and it is difficult to leave.
The cost of immigration alone is not something that ordinary people can afford. When they make enough money, will they have a foothold when they return?
Bishop Bernard was still meditating, and Father Prague couldn't help it first: ”Mr. James, can this work?”
James replied affirmatively: ”Of course! Since the signing of the treaty, the Russian military officers will definitely implement it, otherwise it will cause diplomatic conflicts between Russia and Austria, which is not something they can afford.”
Fr. Prague said without hesitation: ”Okay, I'll go back and tell the people, let them decide whether to leave or not.”
Bishop Bernard stopped, ”Frather, this matter is so important that we must think carefully.”
He was very clear. If the people left, and Ganisburg became a dead city, would the church still have value?
come back? This little boy, once you go to the Austrian colony, it is God ’s blessing that one third of the people can come back in the end.
Father Prague said indifferently: ”Noble Lord, no matter how bad it is now, I can't watch the children kill each other.
The Russians recruited young people as cannon fodder. Can they tolerate this kind of thing if they want to fight with our army? ”
