Chapter 781： Growing peasantry class (1/2)
”Why is the budget so high?”
It's not that Franz made a fuss. The initial investment in the Near East Development Plan was as high as 200 million Aegis. If calculated based on this cost, the originally planned 1 billion Aegis could not complete infrastructure construction.
Infrastructure cannot get up, immigration is not in place, and natural capital will not come over. Cannot attract the influx of private capital, relying on government funding for development, the Vienna government can be dragged into bankruptcy.
Prime Minister Felix explained: ”The major war has devastated the Near East much more than the government had anticipated.
Most cities are in ruins, and the cost of restoration is higher than reconstruction in many cities.
Mines, roads, bridges, and water conservancy facilities have all been destroyed in the flames of war and must be rebuilt.
The most troublesome is that the local production is completely lost, and many of the raw materials for the early construction have to be transported from domestic. ”
Franz has nothing to say. It doesn't matter if a new city is built, but how about a large city in the Near East of Novartis?
To resettle immigrants, it is impossible for everyone to stay in the city. The easiest to take root and restore are agriculture, mining, and factories.
People can only be retained if there are jobs. The tertiary industry has not developed at all these years, and the core pillar is still the primary industry.
Money must be invested, and the Ottoman Empire was won in order to obtain a stable rear. Without construction, a blank rear is like Alaska to Russia.
After hesitating for a while, Franz slowly said, ”Publish the plan to see if you can attract some investors in the past.
If some local industries can be restored and local transportation reduced, costs should be able to be squeezed down. ”
This time is different from the past. The current Vienna government is no longer the one who could not wait for the Aegis to split into two flowers.
Even with an early budget overrun of tens of millions, Franz was only slightly surprised. Increasing the expenses of tens of millions of SHIELD is nothing more than issuing tens of millions of SHIELD bonds, not to mention the financial crisis.
It is normal for the government's previous budget to have errors. Everyone is sitting in the office, analyzing the reports from the front line and looking at the map to make a budget.
Now that it has taken over the Near East region, collected first-hand information and re-calculated the budget, there will naturally be a gap.
...
Secretary of the Army Fislav handed in a document: ”His Majesty, this is a list of officers and men who have made a successful contribution in the Near East War, as well as the Department of War's plan for post-war retirement and casualty relief.
In this war, the accumulated military merit was enough for 286 officers and men, of which 71 were promoted.
A total of 286,000 soldiers and soldiers will need to be retired after the war, of which 278,000 will be transferred to reserve after retired, and a subsidy of 87.889 million SHIELD will be paid.
In this war, a total of 14,134 soldiers were killed and disabled, and they needed to pay 67,665,600 Aegis.
According to the local doubled military merit field reward standard, including the soldiers who died, a total of 66,424 people are eligible to apply for military merit, and a total of 84,376 people who have some military merit are eligible to make up for the difference.
In accordance with the wishes of officers and soldiers or the families of fallen soldiers, the total number of officers and soldiers applying for military merit fields this time was 150,359, and the number of applications for granting fields was 1,176,800 hectares.
Because some officers and soldiers applied to make up the difference, this part of the funds can basically offset the retirement benefits and casualty benefits. ”
There is no doubt that the artillery fodder is not within the statistical scope, otherwise the number of injuries and deaths could increase tenfold.
In a country like Austria, war is the best opportunity to change destiny. In the Near East War, more than two hundred lucky people stood out.
Compared with Feng Jie, the promotion of the title is actually more difficult. The military skill required in the previous step is often several times the previous one, and the more difficult it is to go up.
But this is a small problem. It is the same in any world.
Jun Gong Tian was as popular as ever, which allowed Franz's hanging heart to relax. Anyway, the Near East is borderless, and Franz doesn't mind being scattered.
The military field is popular, not only for the land enjoys preferential tax treatment, but also has a high social status.
As long as conditions apply, no one will give up. Although it is not possible to buy or sell, there is no problem in changing the lease.
