The pros and cons are obvious, and Franz has a headache. It seems that all three solutions are good, but in fact, none of the three solutions are very reliable.

On the surface, Austria has many colonies, and it is possible to resettle millions of people by just dividing a piece of land.

But in fact, if you really want to dig the ground, the situation will change. The African continent doesn’t need to be considered, it is the homeland of the future.

The Nanyang area seems good, but in fact there are not many islands that can accommodate millions of people. Anyway, Franz, New Guinea, is reluctant to give it up.

Then there was nothing. Kalimantan's population was over 10 million, and there were not so many borderless lands.

Perhaps in later generations, the surrounding islands could also accommodate millions of people, but now they really can't.

Franz still has a bottom line, and there is no way for people to die on the battlefield. After the war, he deliberately created a man-made disaster that starved millions of people to death, but he still couldn't do it.

Of course, this bottom line is limited to not doing it yourself. If someone else is doing it, Franz can't see it.

Oh, there is still something to blame. No matter how many there is, there is nothing we can do. The world is so cruel. The Virgin Mary could not survive in the 19th century.

Unlike later generations with abundant supplies, if the emperor has a lot of sympathy these days, he will die in the country.

The Americas are also a problem. Alaska is large in area and has abundant resources. Especially since gold has begun to be mined, the Vienna government will definitely not let go.

Austrian Central America is the core of America's strategy and cannot be harmed. All that remains are the islands in the Arctic Ocean and the Patagonian Plateau in South America.

Everyone knows that the island in the Arctic Ocean is not suitable for human habitation, and most people cannot survive, so exiling stubborn elements is OK.

If these millions of people were sent over, I guess those who survived would not be able to survive by then, that would be no different from being directly raided.

Patagonia is not a good land, at least before it was developed. It is more of a disaster to Chile and Argentina than to place people.

The colonies have been opened for so many years, and Austria has only immigrated by more than 100,000, which is enough to illustrate many problems.

It’s not that the Vienna government does not want to increase immigration, but because of the natural conditions, the immigrants will go to Chile or Argentina by themselves.

All those who stayed behind were because of work, local mineral resources were developed, agriculture and animal husbandry were all concentrated in the valley plains, and large farms were developed.

The latter two plans are even more pitiful. According to the plan, the Kingdom of Armenia will only have tens of thousands of square kilometers, and at most only tens of thousands of square kilometers.

No matter how many Russians are, they will not give it to you. This little land will definitely be fine to support hundreds of thousands of Armenians. If you add millions of people, you will be hungry.

It is also unreliable to expel refugees into Persia. If the person left voluntarily, Franz would not mind pushing him and forcibly expelling him would be too much.

After hesitating for a while, Franz made a compromise: "First send immigration to various countries in the Americas, government subsidies, so that capitalists can find ways to send people in.

The focus is on the United States of America. For every immigration subsidy of 40, and for other countries, the subsidy of 35, we will find ways to resettle the rest."

This is a sky-high price. The price of white slaves in the underground black market is generally around 10 pounds, while the price of black slaves is only around 25 pounds, and they are all young and strong.

Now there is no need to take the risk of doing the slave trade. As long as you send people over, you can receive subsidies from the Vienna government.

Franz believes in the subjective initiative of capitalists. As long as the interests are in place, nothing can be done.

It is very troublesome to send these millions of people to one place to settle, but it is nothing to be scattered throughout the world.

Franz was not worried that these people would be driven out. The immigrant countries were basically full of men and few women. On the contrary, these refugees were all young and strong on the battlefield, and most of the remaining were the elderly, weak, women and children.

To be precise, there are more women and children. In the Ottoman Empire, where the average life span of 30 years old, it can be considered an elderly person if it is over 35 years old, and few people over 50 years old.

...

In St. Petersburg, when the war was about to end, the issue of sharing the spoils was put on Alexander's work schedule.

Today is different from the past. The protagonist of this Near East War has become Austria and the Russian Empire has become an auxiliary.

"It's soft-hearted to others, but it's short-mouthed to others."

The Vienna government's materials were not easy to obtain, and the logistics of the war was provided by Austria. The Tsarist government naturally had to pay the price in the distribution of trophy after the war.

Alexander III asked expressionlessly: "Beyond the scope of our agreement, the Vienna government has put forward new requirements.

They want to prepare to make Armenians independent and establish a country as a buffer for both countries, and the location is in our Caucasus region. What do you think?"

Anyone who knows Alexander III knows that expressionlessness means that His Majesty the Tsar is very unhappy, but his good education has allowed him to restrain his emotions.

Of course being able to restrain emotions means that the situation is not too bad, and there is no need to worry about being driven home to farm after a disagreement.

It is normal for the Tsar to have a temper. Among all the Tsars of Alexander III were easy to serve, at least he would not kill ministers.

Interior Minister Zirnomer pretended to be angry and said, "Your Majesty, you must not agree to such a thing. The border between Russia and Austria stretches for tens of thousands of miles, so where does it need any buffer?"

Wanli is still a little exaggerated, but there are still seven or eight thousand miles.

The two major powers are next to each other, and in order to reduce conflicts, they naturally need a buffer zone. Unfortunately, the long border between Russia and Austria has determined that it cannot be buffered.

Russia and Austria are also considered to be a family renowned family. Since the beginning of the anti-French war, both sides have become allies. Although the covenant was cut off in the middle, the actual ally relationship has never ended.

After several generations, everyone has become accustomed to it. Except for the rulers who are also worried about each other's threats, there is no such concept among the people.

Minister of Finance Alishel Gulov opposed: "You can't say that, Russia and Austria are both great powers, so it's better to have a shorter border.

As early as more than ten years ago, some people proposed that the two countries exchange territories to shorten the border line and reduce the possibility of conflicts between the two countries. It was just because of geographical location that we could not reach an agreement in the end.

The Austrians want the Armenians to establish an independent country, but they will definitely not be just because of an illusory promise. It is very likely that the Vienna government is conducting temptations.

What could not be done back then does not mean that it is impossible to do it now.

Didn’t the Vienna government propose compensation? Maybe they want to take advantage of our financial difficulties and pay for the Asia Minor Peninsula to reduce the border between the two countries.

I think I can get in touch first. If the compensation given by the Austrians is appropriate, it is also possible to set a piece of barren land for the Armenians to establish a country."

The long border line also has its pros and cons. While it may increase conflict, it also means that the two governments must consider the relationship between the two countries more carefully.

If a war breaks out, it is really impossible to defend. If you can fight, I can fight. If you decide the outcome, both sides will suffer.

The friendship between Russia and Austria is no longer simply a combination of interests, but also involves the helplessness of the two governments. The cost of being an enemy is too high, so everyone can only be allies.

Every time the "territorial transaction" is mentioned, the Tsarist government will think of Alaska, which is far away, leaving endless regrets.

Of course, Alexander III was rational, not an angry young man from the public. He knew very well that it was a helpless move to pay off Alaska's debt.

If Alaska is not thrown to Austria, with the strength of the Russian Empire, it will not be able to preserve the frozen soil.

Although only the Bering Strait is separated, it is actually an insurmountable natural barrier. The distance determines that the Tsarist government's ability to deploy power is almost zero.

At that time, in the face of the threat of British Canadian colonies, introducing Austria's power was the best choice.

As for gold, Alexander III was indeed jealous, but he could not withstand the Russian Empire's limited strength and could not defend the treasure land at all.
