The autumn is clear and refreshing, and it is another year of harvest.

Franz has been in a good mood recently. Russia and Austria have reached an agreement, and even if the Near East War is settled.

As for the Greeks, they would have accepted reality in a few days. If it weren't for the riots of domestic nationalists, King Ludwig would have compromised long ago.

Ambition requires strength to support it. Ordinary people may not know that the ruling class must be sober.

King Ludwig, who was originally from a small country, naturally knew what the way to survive in a small country was.

After losing the Bavarian throne, the Vettelsbach Dynasty made a comeback in the Lombardy Kingdom because of more than just relatives.

If they hadn't been judging the current affairs and seeing that the situation was hopeless, they would decisively admit defeat to Austria. Even if they were paying attention to their appearance, Franz would not have arranged a good place for them.

...

In Athens, the atmosphere in the Greek palace was very depressing. Ludwig I's sad face in recent days has forced the palace people to be careful.

In fact, no one would be much better than Ludwig I. The nationalism in Greece was really a big trouble.

"Greece" is a huge pit, the kind that jumps into a dead country, but it is still regarded as a goal by Greek nationalists and is ready to be implemented.

According to the concept of Greater Greece, the territory of Greece, including Constantinople, had an area of ​​about five or six times that of today.

To achieve this goal, the prerequisite is to "hit Austria and kick Russia".

Frankly speaking, such a great strategy is really not something that ordinary people can think of, at least Ludwig I would not dare to think so.

The Ottoman Empire was destroyed, and Greek nationalism was in full swing again. One by one, they asked the government to ask for this and that, without considering whether it had the "strength" to compete for the spoils.

Since it was reported that the government intends to give up the territorial battle against the Asia Minor Peninsula, nationalists have launched a massive demonstration.

In the palace, Ludwig I could hear the voices in the hearts of the Greek people. But no matter how high the voices were, they had to be able to realize them?

Ludwig I asked, "Does the people outside still refuse to disperse?"

Prime Minister Cariocius replied: "Yes, your Majesty. The government has sent someone to explain, but unfortunately it was impossible to convince them.

These people have gone crazy and have completely lost their thinking. I really don’t know what kind of chaos will cause after the contract is signed."

A message that doesn't know the true or false can trigger large-scale protests. If the message becomes a reality, the consequences can be imagined.

Ludwig I shook his head: "These people are just chess pieces pushed out by those bastards. I don't believe they don't know the consequences of doing this.

If the Austrians really angered, it would be no good to destroy Greece. Just look at the route of the demonstrations, and the organizers were deliberately avoiding the embassy area.

But do they think this will make us compromise? Or do they think that nationalism can be used to drive away my annoying king?"

Nationalism is only one aspect, and the greater contradiction is the industrialization reform that Ludwig I is promoting, which seriously damages the interests of vested interests.

Greece is just a small country, with neither enough commodity market nor a source of raw materials. If you want to complete the original accumulation of capital, you have to step up internal exploitation.

Against this background, Ludwig I, who promoted industrialization, was naturally unpopular.

Prime Minister Cariosho proposed: "Your Majesty, you don't need to do this. Take a step back and the sky is wide, and it doesn't matter if the industrialization process is slower."

As a Greek-born prime minister, Carriosho is still very affectionate about this country.

With a high position, he naturally knew that promoting industrialization was the best choice, and the faster the better, the more difficult it would be.

However, things that look beautiful are not necessarily practical.

In order to oppose reform, conservatives released even more frantic nationalism and attempted to force the government to make concessions.

The madness of capital was beyond imagination, and the lives of ordinary people were even harder. Instead of supporting the king, Ludwig I's reforms soon came to a deadlock.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ludwig sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, since everyone doesn't like reform, why should I be this evil person?

Cancel all industrial plans, and according to their wishes, let go of cotton exports, and honestly..."

There is no way, reality is so helpless. The interests of industrialization are in the future, but the interests of cotton exports are in the moment.

Although there are many places in the world where cotton is grown, there is still a shortage of supply in the international market. Almost all cotton exporters are making a fortune.

In order to promote the industrialization process of Greece, Ludwig I ordered a ban on cotton exports not long ago, which became the fuse for intensifying the contradictions.

...

On October 13, 1883, Greece gave up its territorial demands on the Asia Minor Peninsula, and the four anti-Turkish alliances reached an agreement on the distribution of interests after the war.

According to the agreement: the Greek government can obtain compensation for one first-class battleship (displacement of 8,000 to 10,000 tons of ironclad ships) and one second-class battleship. (displacement of 5,000 to 7,000 tons of ironclad ships)

Then there was nothing. Although the Greek government sent much more troops than the Principality of Montenegro, unfortunately their achievements were really not very good.

If it weren't for the contributions made during the maintenance of public order after the war, a battleship would probably have sent them away.

As for the issue of major casualties? Unfortunately, the issue of major casualties is Greece's own problem and cannot be considered a contribution.

Of course, the Vienna government still has its care. It promised to sell 2 battleships and 5 destroyers to them at half price, with an effective period of two years.

Not only Greece, but Montenegro's compensation was warships, and even the Russians were no exception.

According to the treaty, in addition to the economic compensation paid, the Vienna government will also deliver three first-class battleships, two second-class battleships and four destroyers in the next five years.

All of them were given out from Austria, so naturally we can't be too picky. All parameters can be omitted. If you want good goods, you need extra money.

Deep down, Ludwig I didn't want these warships. If he had the choice, he would rather get cash compensation.

Unfortunately, the Vienna government did not agree, so it gave compensation to the two ships, and did not even give up the compensation automatically.

Putting down the treaty in his hand, Ludwig I asked with concern: "What should the Greek people in the Ottoman Empire do? Didn't the Austrians give a reply?"

Foreign Minister Nislav replied bitterly: "The Vienna government has sent all immigration work in the Ottoman territory to the Russians, including Greeks.

This issue needs to be discussed with the Russians. I have already contacted the Russian representative in Constantinople, but the results are not optimistic.

The Russians asked us to take people away ourselves, otherwise they would arrange the migration in a unified manner after they moved other nations."

Don’t think about the resettlement fee. If the money entered into the pocket of the Tsarist government, it is impossible to take out the money.

The Greek government was willing to take away people, and the Russians saved a lot of money, otherwise the Tsarist government would not have left the Greeks until the end.

Ludwig I hesitated without any compensation and had to place hundreds of thousands of people, which had exceeded the limit of the Greek government's ability.

You know, the Greek population is just over one million these days, where can the government create hundreds of thousands of jobs?

Prime Minister Cariosio rejected: "We must never hand over our compatriots to the Russians. According to the style of the Tsarist government, it is an unknown whether half of the people can arrive at their destination alive.

It would be better to convince the Vienna government that they would agree to keep these compatriots on the Asia Minor Peninsula. If it really doesn't work, it's OK to go to their overseas colonies."

This is the impression left by the Tsarist government on the outside world. Instead of going to Siberia in the snow and ice, it is better than a wilderness overseas.

At least Austria has rich experience in immigrants, and the mortality rate at sea is basically controlled within 1 point.

Compared with the Russians' hiking immigration laws, it is really comfortable to take a boat.

There is no way, the Russian railway has not been built yet. The Tsarist government is reluctant to take out so many livestock to transport it to immigrants.

In addition to setting up several necessary supply points along the way, the Tsarist government was only responsible for sending troops to "protect" the safety of immigrants.

It’s fine to walk, but immigrants must also carry food for the week themselves.

Many places in the Russian Empire were uninhabited thousands of miles away. Whether there was anyone between the two supply points was unknown. Don’t expect to get supplies again in the middle.

If you don’t bring enough supplies, if something happens in the middle of the process, whether you can survive depends on the integrity of the escort officials.

Foreign Minister Nislav shook his head: "I have tried to communicate with the Austrians, and they suggest that we do diversion.

Take some back to China by myself, communicate with the Kingdom of Armenia to resettle part of it, and find ways to allow countries in the Americas to accept some immigrants.

For humanitarian reasons, the Austrians promised to accept some elderly, weak, women and children, but not stubborn,

They suggested that the tsarist government be professional in this regard, who was loyal to the Ottoman Empire and handed over to the Russians to influence it."

The Ottomans are multiethnic countries, and not all nations are enemies. In fact, in addition to not accepting the part that has the deepest hatred, Austria also accepts ethnic minorities.

However, the people who receive the elderly, weak, women and children are not interested in the young and strong labor force that everyone likes.

Ludwig I nodded: "It is acceptable to just abandon some of the stubborn people.

pity……"

The words come to an abrupt end here, and some things can only be done but not said.

The Greek government intervened in resettlement of immigration, not just for the sake of compatriots, but more wanted to concentrate the resettlement of Greeks in the Ottoman territory to enhance their influence.

However, anyone can see such things, and the Vienna government will naturally not accept such small hills and cause trouble for itself.
