Chapter 415： Radical ≠ dead (1/2)

Colonial localization is a long-term national policy that may last for hundreds of years. It is impossible for the Vienna government to integrate Austrian Africa directly, which means disaster.

The cost of governance, long-term security, culture, and strategic layout must be considered.

In terms of cost, first of all, the local economy must reach a certain level, and at least the central government does not need to put money in it.

After all, after localization, administrative costs will increase, and social welfare expenditures will increase significantly, such as: medical care, education, transportation ...

All this requires money, and if the central government collects enough taxes from the local area, then everything is not a problem. It is one of the functions of the government to use it for the people.

Conversely, if the local economy has not developed and the central government cannot collect taxes, it will be problematic to allocate these construction funds.

The conditions are met economically, and it depends on the population composition. In order to ensure long-term peace and stability, the number of people holding the nationality of the Holy Roman Empire must not be less than 80% of the total population.

This restriction is not a big deal for Austrian African colonies. The local area is dominated by local immigrants, followed by immigrants from North Germany, and not many immigrants from other parts of Europe.

These people want to acquire nationality is very simple, they have opened the back door. As long as there is no criminal record, an adequate level of ideology and morality is not a problem.

The population structure is satisfied, and then it depends on the number. The requirements are not high, and the population density must not be less than 10 square kilometers.

The number of population is optional and can be made up with other conditions. The main purpose is to limit the area of ​​the localized administrative district.

Otherwise, one million square kilometers of colonies will be localized at one time. In the future, these places will develop, and there will be an increase in the number of places.

With this threshold, there is no need to worry. The whole of Austrian Africa is less than 6 million people. Even if the nobles and bureaucrats want to expand the area of ​​the jurisdiction, it will not be possible.

It is best to let the colony in a fragmented mode and join the native. This fragmentation is also relatively speaking. In the provinces of 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, the units are actually large enough.

Cultural requirements, not education, just German.

Most of the Austrian colonies have no problems. The use of German as a national language is the basic national policy. If you do not speak German, you will not be able to get a local registration.

Even if it was for localization, the local aristocracy would take them away. Don't talk about cheap labor. Are these people lacking money?

If you want to make money, the best way is to colonize forever. Only under colonial rule can we act arrogantly, and once localized, we must consider whether the law allows it.

The localization of the colony is mainly that the old nobles want to go further, the new nobles want to establish a family business, the capitalists see this as a shortcut to enter the noble circle, and the colonial bureaucrats want ...

This is the common interest of the ruling class. These restrictions must be scored in the end. The higher the final overall score, the higher the chance of obtaining localization approval from the Imperial Parliament.

The front are all necessary conditions. The natural conditions, resources, and strategic status at the back are equivalent to additional points. If the previous points are not enough, you can make up for them with these additional points.

This is a realistic need, otherwise it is like a desert country within Libya. Never think about localization. The number of people cannot meet this requirement.

This is just the beginning. If you meet the conditions, you can only enter the parliamentary discussions. You still need to consider whether you can pass.

After all, everyone has no experience, and no one is sure how many loopholes there are. Franz simply left the last ring, ready to be patched at any time.

Many things can be faked, such as population and economy. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can create false prosperity in a region.

There is no doubt that some of the richest people can do it. What does it cost a little for political gain?

If you throw a huge sum of money, you can turn a piece of fertile soil of tens of thousands of square kilometers into your own family land, join the empire in the form of noble land, and become a top noble.

Obviously, this kind of game breaking behavior, Franz is not allowed to occur.

What a joke, can the king spam? What is the difference between the tens of thousands of square kilometers, and even hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, and the king?

So with so many circles, as long as you have the money to develop, Franz doesn't mind the agricultural company Big Mac. Want to turn these lands into fiefdoms, where can I find such great credit?

Unless it is the sudden outbreak of World War, incarnation as Long Aotian all the way to stop God, Buddha to stop the Buddha, to establish supreme merits;

Otherwise, let's fight it honestly step by step! One step up in the sky is not a good thing for anyone, and ”Germany is not worthy” ends in tragedy.

This ”ethics” is not just ”moral” is not enough, nor is it just ability. It is more a matching vision, outlook on life, and outlook on society.

In addition, there are social relationships. In this age of ”wood shows in forests, the wind will destroy them”, if there is not enough anti-risk strength, it is better not to overshoot.

Heroes in troubled times are not the only heroes in troubled times. It is mainly only in troubled times that these ”heroes” can be accommodated.

Colonial indigenization did not cause shocks around the world, as Franz imagined, and countries were not optimistic about this policy.

In many people's opinion, the purpose of opening a colony is to make money. Once localized, we cannot continue to plunder wealth arbitrarily.

This is a difference in business philosophy. Austria opened up overseas colonies, first of all planted land on it, following the path of continuous development; while overseas colonies opened by other colonial empires were simply for plundering wealth.

The French were the exception. Napoleon III also intended to localize Africa, but he took a smaller step.

The Frenchman couldn't learn Franz's play. Insufficient population and assimilation system for compulsory education limit their assimilation speed.

This point was exposed after the French government emigrated from the Balkans. After entering the French African colonies, these immigrants still retain their original cultural traditions.

Due to the lack of sufficient language teachers and supporting systems, the promotion of French has not been fast, and the number of local immigrants is too small, making assimilation difficult.

This is an unsolvable problem. It is easy to assimilate 100,000 people to 10,000 people; to ask 10,000 people to assimilate 100,000 people, and who is assimilated in the end is a question worthy of alertness.

...

Berlin. Ever since France and Austria compromised on Italy, William I has developed a strong sense of crisis. He doesn't think it's just that simple.

France and Austria have always been rivals. How could it be easily given up for the hundreds of years between Italy and Italy?
