Chapter 105, the ambition in existence

A surprising recruitment information was posted in the Vienna government propaganda column. It is not surprising that the colonial government recruits public officials, it is carried out every year. The strange thing is the content above.

Watching the fun is the essence of human beings. Every time the publicity column attracts many people. There are not many entertainment activities in this era, and discussing gossip is also one of the fun of everyone.

Although there were many people gathered, the scene was not chaotic at all. Everyone consciously abides by the rules without any disturbances or bumps.

With so many people, it is obvious that it is impossible for them to see the content on the bulletin board at the same time. The people inside have read out the content on the announcement.

"The South African Colonial Government commissioned the Austrian Organization Department to recruit public officials. This time, a total of 48oo people were recruited, including 1ooo government employees and 38oo police officers.

Registration conditions: 1. You must be an Austrian citizen, who is healthy, has good limbs, and has no criminal record; 2. You have received a complete compulsory education and all your homework is above the passing line; 3. You can endure hardships and work hard, with a minimum service life of 8 years.

Note: Those who apply for police positions must have certain military qualities and at least have received reserve training. Retired officers and soldiers are given priority. Aged under 30 years old, officers can be relaxed until 40 years old.

Treatment: The salary is doubled based on the average level of the same position in the country, and the welfare benefits are referred to the Vienna standard."

Salary and benefits are not mentioned first. The colonies are in poor conditions and may encounter danger at any time, so their salary is naturally higher than in China.

The problem lies in the application requirements, not the requirements are too high, but the requirements are too low. According to the above standards, more than 90% of Austrian youth of appropriate age meet the requirements.

If you are in the local area, with the treatment given above, the final restriction is to start a university, have military achievements, or have a noble status, which is generally one of three.

Naturally, the colonies cannot require this, but they usually start with middle school education or have excellent retired officers and soldiers.

There are almost no restrictions this time, of course this is not worth a surprise. The fewer the restrictions, the more people apply, and the final competition will increase.

No one goes there when the conditions are bad? That is because the price you give is not high enough. As long as you are willing to spend money, how can there be no one?

Recruiting people according to this standard, not to mention 48oo                                                       

Of course, there are definitely no way that many people are willing to go to Africa 6. The South African colonial government lowered the recruitment standards, mainly due to the gold rush.

In order to ensure the stability of the administrative system, restrictions have been set. Once a contract is signed, it is a mandatory service and cannot leave the company before the expiration of the term.

This will definitely persuade many people to withdraw. Unlike the local area, Africa is different from the local area. If the conditions in the distribution area are bad and cannot leave early, most people will not be able to stand it.

After hearing the restrictions, the discussion kept ringing. Most people were just watching the fun and were not very interested in this recruitment.

Some people also lit up their eyes and wanted to try their luck. In this era, the worse the conditions, the greater the chance.

The colonial government is not stupid. Where there is no value, it will not set up administrative agencies. In recent years, the Austrian Africa has been developing very quickly, and many remote areas have become emerging cities.

Every major exhibition, a group of lucky people have risen. Ordinary people have few opportunities to enter the ruling class. The recruitment of public officials in China is only the minimum standard for graduation from middle school.

For most people who have just completed compulsory education, this is still out of reach. Geniuses are always a minority. Ordinary people want to go further, in addition to working hard, they also have to rely on certain luck.

Steve is one of them, the kind that can't be found even if you throw it on the street. Ordinary workers come from a family and perform well in school, but they are not able to get into middle school. They go to work in the factory after compulsory education.

The day after day work made the fledgling Steve very uncomfortable. However, reality could not tolerate him being willful and went to and from get off work honestly every day.

When Steve heard the recruitment conditions, his eyes lit up. However, he did not rush in. The discipline he had cultivated for a long time was used to queuing up.

The person who read the announcement in front consciously retreated, and the one behind was made up in order, and the scene was orderly.

This is one of the achievements of compulsory education. From the first day of school, we must learn to abide by order. After so many years, everyone has developed good habits of abide by order.

Time flies, and it’s Steve’s turn soon. After carefully reading the announcement and confirming that there were no omissions, Steve’s heart became uneasy.

Dislike the bad conditions of the African Big 6? Sorry, Stevie does not have this qualification. As a member of the general public, it is not easy to have an opportunity. What qualifications are there to be picky?

The local conditions are indeed good, but ordinary Steve has no advantage. The best way to stay in China is to hone your skills. It is too difficult to get from an ordinary worker to a skilled worker.

He had missed the best chance to make a name for himself. From the moment he failed to go to school, Steve was destined to fight for three meals a day.

It is completely nonsense to work hard to survive every day. Although it is now at the forefront of the Second Industrial Revolution, this has nothing to do with Stevie.

No capital, no connections, and no ability. Even if you see opportunities, you cannot join and make use of them.

There are a few lucky people who have risen by Ming Creation every year. If you enlarge it in the entire Austria, that opportunity is only one in ten million.

Many young people who are unwilling to be lonely choose the biggest gambling in their lives and go to the colony to take an adventure.

Stevie was also planning to do this, but she was blocked by her parents. She was not rich at home, but she could live a life, so her parents naturally didn't want him to go out and take risks.

Nowadays, it is not very dangerous to simply immigrate to the colony to make a living, but if you want money, you still have to fight for your life.

The mortality rate of adventurers has never been low. Every year, countless adventurers in Austria fall on the road to wealth, but few people really get rich in one day, and most people only make more money than ordinary people.

There is no way, the golden age of colonization has ended. Now, if you want to expand a colony, the difficulty will increase much more than in the past.

Unless it is a remote countryside, most of the wealthy land is owned by a master. Even if it is a land that cannot even recover the cost of ruling, it does not have to be rewarded. The reality is so cruel.

Steve regarded this recruitment as an opportunity to turn things around. Even if the conditions are bad and there is little room for promotion, it is better than continuing to work in the factory, at least for salary.

There are many people who have dreams, but few have succeeded. For ordinary people, it is very difficult to get an opportunity in any era.

...

In the Vienna Palace, the Habsburg family, which was still happy, was holding a banquet. Perhaps it was time to be a father, and Massimirino's mental state was much better.

Franz was absent, and the Russians couldn't help but want to act with Austria, and he had a lot to deal with.

War is never a joke. Anyone who despises war will have no good results in the end.

The Russians have many enemies, from the West to the East, all the way. If you want to join forces with Austria, the target is self-evident, Prussia, Poland, or the Ottoman Empire.

This multiple-choice question is not that easy to do. You must weigh the pros and cons and consider the impact it will have on the international situation.

Franz first ruled out the Prussian Kingdom, and he was shameless. No matter what, the Prussian Kingdom also belonged to the German nation. It was difficult to pass the public opinion level by colluding with outsiders to attack his compatriots.

If it really happens, Franz's reputation in the German region will become bad. Nationalists will not agree with such a government, nor will the Prussians admit failure.

This is a sequelae of nationalism. When establishing the New Shenlu Empire, Franz took advantage of nationalism, and now he naturally has to bear the consequences.

Moreover, the strategic position of the Kingdom of Prussia is too bad, with enemies on all sides and no danger to defend. To occupy the Kingdom of Prussia, one must first prepare to be enemies of the whole world.

Unfortunately, Franz did not plan to be enemies of the whole world. As a member of the vested interests of the world order, Austria has no need to challenge the world order.

The remaining Poland and the Ottoman Empire need to carefully weigh the pros and cons. He must be wary of being dragged into the water by the Russians and eventually turned into a major European 6 melee.

Due to the limitation of national strength and transportation, major powers may not be able to fight the national destruction war in this era, but if they sink due to war, they may still be able to survive.

In the conference room, Franz stared at the world map on the wall, turned his back to everyone and asked, "What do you think about the Russians want to join forces with us?"

It is true that Russia and Austria are allies, but this alliance does not include joint expansion. Both parties have completed the previous strategic transactions.

If you want to continue to cooperate, you must communicate. Otherwise, it would be just like during the Russians in the Russian War, while Austria was happily paddling on the side.

Foreign Minister Wesenberg: "Your Majesty, the situation in Europe has finally stabilized now. Once the war is provoked, it will be difficult for us to control the scale of the war.

From the perspective of interests, the rewards we can get are very limited whether we are attacking the Ottoman Empire or taking action against Poland.

If the Kingdom of Poland is attacked, the Prussians will inevitably participate. If Britain and France insist on supporting Poland, the final enemy is likely to evolve into the three countries of Britain, France and the United States.

Even if the French need to digest the Italian region and will not take military action, then in the end it will only recreate the pattern of our joint division of Poland with Prussia and Russia.

Frankly speaking, I don’t think there is anything in the Kingdom of Poland that deserves our attention. Even if we gain something, it will only add icing on the cake. The only function is probably to make the conflict between Pratt and Russia go further.

There is no profit to attack the Ottoman Empire. Unless we work with the Russians to kill them at one time, the benefits that can be divided will be destined to be very limited.

It is almost impossible to achieve this step. The Ottoman Empire is still a big country, and European countries will not sit idly by and watch us divide it up.

The Russian Empire now no longer has the domineering spirit of the past. Faced with the intervention of European countries, the final pressure will probably fall on us."

There is no doubt that Wesenberg opposes the provocation of war now. Not only him, but many people in the Vienna government do not want to start a war at this time, including Franz.

But many situations cannot solve the problem without thinking. If Austria has not been moved, many people will not be able to sleep.

It can't be said that the Vienna government loves peace and has no ambitions for Europe. Everyone should sleep with peace of mind.

Franz himself doesn't believe this statement. The definition of "ambition" is very vague. Many times strength is ambition. As long as you have strength, you will have ambition in the eyes of the outside world, which is not something that an individual can control.
