Chapter one hundred and sixty-ninth, attach importance to talents

Entering the industrial age, the Berlin government has recognized the importance of population, especially the labor force with a certain level of knowledge.

The Kingdom of Prussia was the first country in the world to complete compulsory education, and the Rhineland region was the most industrially developed region in the Kingdom of Prussia, and a large number of basic talents were gathered in the local area.

These talents happen to be what the Prussian Kingdom needs most at the moment. In the early stages of industrial development, there is not much demand for high-skilled talents, but rather the largest demand for ordinary skilled workers.

After the outbreak of the Second Industrial Revolution, Austria was able to surpass Britain and France. It was not that Austria's technology was advanced, nor that Franz's foresight was great. The most core factor was the large number of engineers.

Without enough basic talents, no matter how advanced the technology is, it cannot be quickly converted into industrial production.

With the development of industrial technology, the demand for basic talents has become increasingly greater. In later generations, countries have been engaged in compulsory education, which is the result of the market's forced development.

The former old empire of time and space has rich resources, but fell behind in the Second Industrial Revolution, which means it loses in the number of basic talents.

When they react, it is too late. Competitors cannot stand still and give you decades of time to cultivate talents.

The Kingdom of Prussia has maintained high investment in military spending, and the domestic economy has not collapsed. In addition to the Berlin government's political skills, the advantages of population quality are also an important factor.

In theory, those who complete compulsory education have the potential to become an ordinary skilled worker. If you work hard, it is not impossible to become an engineer.

Most low-end engineers are grown up by technical workers, and basic cultural knowledge is a necessary condition.

If someone conducts statistics, they will find that although the population of the Kingdom of Prussia is far lower than that of Britain and France, the number of basic engineers is not much higher than that of Britain and France.

If we only develop the Kingdom of Prussia, there will definitely be enough talents. William I would not attach so much importance to immigration work. The key is that the Kingdom of Poland still needs to be developed.

During the Tsarist government, the Polish region implemented serfdom, and education was only the patent of a few people, and ordinary people were purely illiterate.

After Poland's independence, although it was more than abolished slavery and made efforts to develop education, the results were not optimistic.

When an idealist government formulates policies, it always only looks at the surface and does whatever it is good, without considering the actual situation at all.

The Polish government ignored the fact that the teaching staff was insufficient and the financial scarcity, blindly followed the trend of compulsory education, and even did a step further than Pu'O.

All ideas are good, but reality does not allow it. In the end, the plan can only stay on paper. In addition to building several engineering schools to serve the children of powerful people, its practical significance to the country is equal to zero.

Now that the establishment of the Popo Federation and the task of developing Poland has fallen to the Berlin government, the demand for talents has naturally increased greatly.

William I: No matter what we think, we must immigrate as much as possible. Domestic industrial development requires talents, and assimilation work in Poland also requires immigration.

The former Polish revolutionaries led by Dongbrovsky have been very restless recently. They have been resisting national integration work and the government's next task is very heavy.

For the Kingdom of Prussia, Poland is still too large to swallow it in one breath. In order to stabilize the situation in Poland, the Berlin government had to compromise with local Polish power factions.

However, compromise is also divided into objects. The former Polish government led by Dongbrovsky is the biggest victim of the interests of the Popo merger, and there is no possibility of compromise between the two sides.

When he was a newcomer, in order to maintain local stability, even though he knew that the former Polish government was secretly making small moves, William I could not do anything to them.

It cannot move on the surface, but it is still indispensable to wear small shoes within the rules.

Moltke persuaded: Your Majesty, please rest assured. The focus of the government's work will be on resettlement in the future.

The biggest problem now is the corruption of the Polish government. The federal government has just been established. In order to maintain local stability, it is not convenient for us to take ruthless measures.

When the situation stabilizes, the government will conduct a public official assessment, kick out dereliction of duty and corruption, and eliminate the administration of officials in Poland.

There must be a settlement after the autumn, but not now. Although the former Polish government was driven out of power, the strength of the revolutionary party cannot be underestimated.

Especially the army formed by the Polish government in the later period were all confidants cultivated by the Revolutionary Party. Although these troops were not very combative, the number of people was still tens of thousands. If they were really impatient, it would be impossible to die if they were caught.

Originally, Prussia annexed the Kingdom of Poland would be a bit far-fetched. If another civil war broke out, it would have hurt the morale of the people in the country.

The Berlin government adopted the method to boil frogs in warm water. The defeat of the Polish army in this Russian-Polish war provided the Berlin government with the opportunity to intervene in the army.

In the pretext of the loss of war, William I took the opportunity to abolish the numbers of four infantry divisions in the Kingdom of Poland, and the remaining troops were also compressed to varying degrees.

Of course, while reducing the organization, William I was also expanding his arms. This is not a contradiction. The troops whose numbers were delisted were all killed on the battlefield.

If it is a heroic unit that wins the battle, it is naturally impossible to sack. The problem is that the Polish army loses and loses badly, then the sacking number becomes reasonable.

By rebuilding a new number, it turns out that the remaining officers in the army are destined to be marginalized. As defeated generals, no one can say anything even if they are retired.

William I did not do that well. Some of these people were transferred to the reserve service and some remained in the active troops. It depends on the team.

The Polish army was trained by the Prussians, so the pro-Prussian faction is naturally indispensable. When forming a new force, we naturally give priority to our own people.

After some operation, the armed forces of the revolutionary party have been compressed by half, which is the confidence of William I to move the revolutionary party.

Now that he has been opposed by the Prime Minister, William is very unhappy in his life. However, his cunningness is so deep that even powerful officials like Bismarck can tolerate them, so he can naturally accept Moltke's integrity.

People with ability usually have a big temper, which makes William I very helpless.

After thinking rationally for a while, William I nodded: Then wait a little longer! Now collect evidence first and settle the accounts together in the future.

William I was already over the age of youth and a prosperous age. He liked to think twice before doing anything. After realizing the possible risks, he decisively chose to take a step back and broaden the sky.

Foreign Minister Jeffrey Friedman reminded: Your Majesty, the International Conference on the Holocaust in West Asia is about to be held in Jerusalem, and we need to make a choice.

The current national situation is still unclear. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends that we continue to maintain neutrality and avoid participating in the diplomatic game between Britain, France and Austria.

The international situation is either unclear or a mess. The three countries of Britain, France and Austria cooperate and confront each other, causing diplomats from all over Europe to collapse.

It is very easy to suffer a loss if you blindly stand in a team in this context. What if you just stand in a team and offend someone, and the boss above suddenly reconciles?

There is nothing that cannot be discussed in the face of interests. The cooperation between Britain, France and the Austrian countries is because of interests, and mutual confrontation is also because of interests.

Fortunately, the three parties are very rational now. Even if there is a confrontation, they will not pull everyone into the water and limit the confrontation to the scope of the rules.

In Vienna, while the Prussians were hesitating, the negotiations on the division of interests between Britain, France and the Austrian countries also began secretly.

The most important reason why the great powers are great powers is that they are thick-skinned.

It seems that Britain, France and the Austrians are checking and balancing each other, but this is just an open skill for the outside world to see. In secret, everyone has long been sitting at the negotiating table, arguing about the ownership of interests.

The West Asian issue is just a shadow. The conflict between the Ottomans and Persia, from the standpoint of Britain, France and the Olympics, is actually a child playing house.

Refugees are almost dead, so it is not necessary to talk about this issue. In this era of the strong prey on the weak, right and wrong are the least worthy of argument.

The international community will not impose sanctions on the Ottomans just because the Ottoman Empire expels refugees into Persia, causing significant losses to Persia.

Similarly, the international community will not hold Persian government responsible for massacre of refugees.

In addition to verbal condemnation, the division of interests between Britain, France and the Austrian countries is more important, which is the main problem now.
