Chapter 713： Refugee camp (1/2)

Difficulties in immigration work were not unexpected from Franz. This is an inevitable result and cannot be prevented by individual will.

With millions of refugees in Poland and the Russians unable to provide relief, there are only two options for maintaining local stability: deportation or massacre.

The only thing Russians can choose is eviction. It is not that the Tsarist government did not have the courage to raise a butcher knife. It is mainly because the butcher knife must inevitably cause interference from the international community.

Now that it is the late 19th century, the rules of the game have been formulated, and wanton destruction of rules will inevitably be rejected by the European world.

The Russian Empire at its peak was naturally not afraid to offend the European world. Now, unlike the Russian-Prussian War, which has not yet ended, the Tsarist government does not want to be isolated by diplomacy, it must abide by the rules of the game.

The Russian army began to expel refugees, and Austria's immigration work was naturally affected. Even if the Tsarist government fully cooperated, Russian soldiers could not identify every refugee.

No matter how hard the Immigration Department works in this age of chaos and constant communication, it is impossible to notify everyone.

Apart from setting up immigration points in cities, the Immigration Department is not able to do much and even be careful when leaving the city.

There is no social order in the world outside the city. Regardless of whether you are an Austrian or a bandit, everyone is treated equally-grab.

Putting down the telegram in his hand, Franz said casually: ”This is the end of the matter, no matter what you do, it will not help you.

Difficulties caused by immigration are caused by force majeure. It is not the responsibility of one person. The previous plan cannot be completed without accountability.

Tell the staff in Poland and let them protect themselves. The Russians sent troops to protect as much as possible, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was responsible for coordination. ”

Austria has a complete system of assessment and accountability. Officials who perform well are political achievements and will be used as the main reference for promotion and promotion. Otherwise, if they fail to complete the task, they need to be held accountable. If there is a problem, the official career is basically over.

However, there are exceptions to everything. If it is caused by force majeure, and there is no obvious fault of the individual officer, there is no need to bear responsibility.

There is no doubt that what happened in Poland was force majeure, and the Vienna government could not stop it, let alone the staff below.

Such a good opportunity, Franz naturally wants to buy people's hearts. The words of concern are not only addressed to those officials in Poland, but also to domestic officials.

”Yes, Your Majesty!”

Foreign Minister Weissenberg replied.

Prime Minister Felix: ”His Majesty, a large number of refugees have gathered on the Polish border and want to cross the border into Austria.

Many refugees cross the mountains and sneak into the mountains. From the outbreak of the Prussian-Russian war to the present, more than 100,000 illegal border crossings have been arrested by border guards.

Especially after the Russians started to expel refugees, the situation became even more serious. Every day, thousands of refugees deliberately broke through and were arrested. ”

Since the outbreak of the Prussian-Russian war, illegal cross-borders have been a problem that plagued the Vienna government. The actual situation is much more serious than Felix said.

This also involves problems left over by history. There are many people on the border between Austria and Poland, many refugees crossing the border illegally, and local people to provide them with cover.

In addition, there are a large number of illegal immigration organizations. These organizations hold unknown mountain trails and organize refugee smuggling from the Polish region.

There is no doubt that these organizations are for profit. Those who have the money pay the smuggling fee, and if they do n’t have the money, they can directly enter the black factory or the construction site.

According to statistics from Austrian courts, more than 76% of illegal crimes in border areas are caused by illegal immigration.

The Vienna government will naturally crack down on such illegal and criminal activities that seriously endanger public security in Austria.

Unfortunately, the effect is very small. Illegal immigration organizations are like leeks.

In contrast, illegal immigrants who have depended on relatives and friends have to be more secure. Most of these people are hiding in the countryside, and friends and relatives will find ways to make a living.

After a few years of learning the Austrian language, these people will apply for naturalization. The method is very simple. Going to the border to pretend to be a Shen Luo citizen living in Poland, so many German states have no way to check it.

Well, the latter is the result of the Vienna government opening one eye and closing one eye.

This is the reality, and sometimes it ’s rare to be confused. Everyone says that they are Germans, and the government is naturally too lazy to go deeper. Otherwise, the proportion of Austria's main ethnic group will not continue to increase.

For specific information, you can refer to the Galician region. In 1848, the local Germans were less than one-tenth. By 1880, they had risen to 38.6%, surpassing the Poles and Ukrainians and becoming the largest nation.

Under normal circumstances, this cannot happen, but in reality it does happen. Franz didn't know what happened and didn't want to know.

Seemingly self-deceiving, but actually effective. People are actively integrated, and there is no need to doubt the degree of identification. Whoever questions their ethnic group, they have to worry with them.

In essence, the European nations are a mess, most of them were separated by later generations, and the 19th century was the last chance for ethnic integration in Europe.

The massive influx of refugees into Austria is an inevitable result. Everyone knows that the Prussian kingdom is not an opponent of the Russians. It will also experience war after running behind the Prussian kingdom.

In addition to the Kingdom of Prussia, Russia and Austria remain on the border with Poland. As long as they are not tired, they will not run to Russia, and they can only go to Austria.
