“Why is the budget so high?”

It’s not that Franz made a fuss. The advance investment of the Near East development plan was as high as 200 million ASUS. If calculated based on this expense, the original plan of 1 billion ASUS would not be able to complete infrastructure construction at all.

If the infrastructure cannot be raised and immigration is not in place, private capital will naturally not come. It cannot attract the influx of private capital. The Vienna government can be dragged to bankruptcy by relying solely on government investment and development.

Prime Minister Felix explained: "The major wars have damaged the Near East too much, beyond the government's previous expectations.

Most cities are ruins, and the restoration cost of many cities is higher than that of reconstruction.

Mines, roads, bridges, and water conservancy facilities were destroyed in the war and must be rebuilt.

The most troublesome thing is that local production has been completely lost, and many raw materials for early construction have to be transported from the domestic market."

Franz had nothing to say. Building a new city is nothing, but how could a city do the big Near East?

To resettle immigrants, it is impossible to keep everyone in the city. The easiest thing to take root and recover is agriculture, mines, and factories.

Only by having jobs can people be retained. The tertiary industry has not developed at all these days, and its core pillar is still the primary industry.

Money must be invested. The Ottoman Empire is to gain a stable rear. If it is not built, the blank rear will be like Alaska in Russia.

After hesitating for a while, Franz said slowly: "Let's announce the plan to the public to see if it can attract some investors.

If some local industries can be restored and transportation from local areas can be reduced, the cost should be reduced."

Today is different from the past. The current Vienna government is no longer the poor man who wished he could divide the ASCH shield into two times.

Even if the budget exceeded tens of millions of dollars in advance, Franz was just a little surprised. The increase in the expenses of tens of millions of SHIELD is nothing more than issuing more bonds of tens of millions of SHIELD, and there is no financial crisis.

It is normal for the government to have errors in the budget before. Everyone is sitting in the office, and based on the analysis of the war report data from the front line, looking at the map to make the budget.

Now that I have taken over the Near East, I have collected first-hand information and re-making the budget, there will naturally be a gap.

...

Army Secretary Feslav handed over a document: "Your Majesty, this is a list of officers and soldiers who have made military achievements in the Near East War, as well as the Ministry of Army's plan to deal with pensions for post-war retirement and casualties.

In this war, the accumulated military merits were enough to be awarded titles, a total of 286 officers and soldiers, of which 71 were promoted.

After the war, a total of 286,000 retired officers and soldiers were required, of which 278,000 were transferred to the reserve service after retirement, and a subsidy of 87.689 million Syrians were required.

During this war, a total of 14,134 soldiers were killed and disabled, and they needed to pay a pension of 67.6536 million.

According to the local military merit field reward standard, including the fallen soldiers, a total of 66,424 people are eligible to apply for military merit fields, and a total of 84,376 people have some military merits that meet the subsidy for land grants.

According to the wishes of officers and soldiers or the families of the fallen soldiers, the total number of officers and soldiers applying for military merit fields this time was 150,359, and the number of fields applied for 11.7648 million hectares.

Because some officers and soldiers applied to make up the price difference, this part of the funds can basically offset the retirement subsidy and casualty pensions."

There is no doubt that the cannon fodder troops are not within the statistical scope, otherwise the number of disabled and casualties can be increased tenfold.

In countries like Austria, war is the best opportunity to change destiny. In a Near East war, more than two hundred lucky people stood out.

Compared to the title of title, it is actually more difficult to get promoted. The military merit required in the previous step is often several times that of the previous one, and the more difficult it is to go up, the greater it is.

But these are all small problems. This is true in any world. The road is narrower the higher the road.

The military field was still as popular as ever, which relieved Franz's heart. Anyway, there were borderless lands everywhere in the Near East, and Franz didn't mind scattering them all.

Military merit fields are popular, not only because these lands enjoy tax preferential treatment, but also with a lofty social status.

As long as you have the conditions to apply, no one will give up. Although you cannot buy or sell, there is no problem at all when you transfer to rent.

The Near East is relatively remote, but the standards have been relaxed and you can get twice the area compensation, and it can be higher if it is a forest area.

Compared with overseas colonies, such areas next to the local area are still more popular. Not everyone likes to travel far, and it is always good to be close to home.

Moreover, although the Ottoman Empire was a little barbaric, everyone still admitted that they were slightly higher than those in remote areas.

In this regard, it is good to work hard for the Ao Emperor. You have both money and land.

As long as you don’t die, after a few wars, you will be a farmer. If you are lucky, you can directly counterattack and become a noble.

Even if you don’t have enough military achievements, as long as you have this thing, you can still apply for land grants, but the area is limited.

In non-core territorial areas, everyone is allowed to purchase part of the land at a low price and enjoy the same treatment for military merit.

This was a special policy adopted by the Vienna government in that time, and Franz could not afford the pension.

What should have been cancelled later, but the Austrian Empire was so inflated that it had a large area of ​​Borderlands.

Land without development has no value, and it is definitely not enough to rely on the power of the government alone. Franz does not want to be a big landlord in name only, so this policy continues.

More than 100,000 new farmers are added, including one or one.8 million immigrants. With these direct lines as the core of the rule, millions of immigrants will be stable in the Near East.

According to research by Austrian sociologists, farmers are the most powerful people, and the best of them can produce a football team.

The material conditions are relatively good, the pressure of life is low, and the entertainment activities in the countryside are few, making it the main force in Austria's population growth.

Against the backdrop of the rise of the bourgeoisie around the world, the Austrian peasant class is also growing. The new military aristocrats have injected new vitality into this class.

Austria has always been the world's largest agricultural product exporter, monopolizing three-quarters of the export of agricultural products in the European market, and providing a material basis for farmers to develop and grow.

Franz did not pay attention to the issue of the growth of the farmer class. Where is the innate upper limit placed, it is subject to land resources.

To be able to grow against the times, Austria has obtained a large amount of land during its expansion. When these lands are developed, it is the upper limit of the farmer class.

Of course, as long as Austria does not decline and continues to monopolize the European agricultural product market with its geopolitical advantages, the farmer class will be an important force.

In addition, the political alliance with the nobles will be fine to suppress the bourgeoisie for a long time to come.

As loyal supporters of imperial power, these people can carry guns to the battlefield at any time, and it is the country's military responsibility.

With these pillars in hand, even if you can't suppress them, you can overturn the table.

In theory, this kind of thing is impossible to happen.

The Austrian bourgeoisie cannot stand up. In addition to lacking force, the existence of state-owned enterprises and royal consortiums is also an effective check and balance.

If anyone is floating, he doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. Within the scope of the rules, Franz can make him bankrupt in minutes, and the consortium is no exception.

The capitalist world can speak with capital. Water, electricity, energy, and transportation are stuck, and no matter how awesome the capitalist is, it cannot afford to take care of it.

Unless you give up on physical finance, it will not be a climate if this is the case. The awesomeness of the consortium is that they are rich and control the jobs of a large group of people.

Without these foundations, there is only a lot of money left. The influence in society is very limited.

After taking the document, he glanced briefly and Franz: "Distribute the cash first, and the government will implement the field teaching work as soon as possible.

Taking into account the special circumstances of the Near East, the region can be determined first and the specific land allocation will be temporarily suspended. Relevant departments will do a good job of explanation.

The nobles’ title ceremony is placed the day before Christmas. The cabinet is responsible for the arrangements for related matters.”
