The Vienna government's plan for the Near East development has undoubtedly injected a booster into the domestic economy, and the first one to respond was the stock market.

Stock prices of construction, medicine, engineering equipment and other sectors soared, as if a new bull market was about to begin again.

In order to stimulate stock prices, related companies announced their participation in the Near East development plan, and "Near East development" overnight became the hottest term in Austria.

Not only domestic capital is attracted, but many overseas capital are also moving.

The Great Depression in Europe had no place to go, and Austria's Near East development plan was undoubtedly at a good time.

In order to attract attention, the Vienna government naturally would not propose any advance plan, and the focus was on promoting the "Billion ASUS investment".

This is definitely the largest investment ever and it cannot be surpassed in this century. There is no pressure to brag about it.

Originally, European capital has dared to invest even the United States thousands of miles away, not to mention the near East, which is close to you.

Unfortunately, these guys are too smart and they are all sloppy. Franz wants to trick a few unlucky guys into taking over the railway construction, but no one takes the bait.

Even if it is authorized monopoly, no one cares about it. There is no way that the Near East is now a piece of white land. No matter how beautiful the Vienna government’s plan looks, it is just a plan.

Capitalists are all masters who do not show off their rabbits and do not show off their eagles. Before the immigration plan is launched, who would have been unable to invest in the construction of railways?

Everyone participates in order to make a fortune, not to contribute. Even if the Near East development plan goes smoothly, it will be more than ten years later.

Before this, investing in railways was destined to be a loss-making transaction. A profitable transaction was indeed a value investment.

Unfortunately, it is still popular these days to make quick money, and long-term value investment is not within the scope of capitalists' consideration.

People prefer to build a project that seems to make a lot of money, perform artistic processing to draw a grand blueprint, and then go public to make money.

Success means making a lot of money, and failure means taking over the buyer to bear the losses. This is one of the reasons why everyone is unwilling to invest in railways.

The main factors in this economic crisis that affected the entire capitalist world include over-the-rails, especially in Western European countries such as Britain and France, where too many railways were repeatedly built.

You can see from the stock market that the railway stock price is the most severely falling.

It is a good thing to pay a 70% discount in the stock market crash. Many railway companies' market value has been cut in half. Some of the declines are particularly severe, less than one-tenth of their peak period.

One mistake can bring wisdom.

Investors have just experienced social beatings and have temporarily lost interest in railways. It is difficult for this project to fool the buyer, so capitalists are naturally not interested.

No one went to jump into the railway pit, so the Vienna government had to take action on its own, but some people invested in port terminals and urban transformation.

Although the investment cycle is also long, these projects have lower risks.

Even those who are not optimistic about Austrian Near East development plans will not think that the Vienna government does not even have the ability to develop coastal areas.

It will take some time for the plan to report the plan, take the project to get the project, and it will take some time to really invest the money.

After the war, the Vienna government did not immediately disarmament. Hundreds of thousands of troops were busy suppressing bandits at this time. It was extremely irresponsible to go to build before solving the security problem.

The development of the Near East is different from the development of Africa. There was no way back then. The government had limited power to open up African colonies and had to rely on civilian forces.

To this day, there are thousands of civilian armed forces of all sizes on the African continent, which together are more than Austrian standing troops.

While these forces established Austria's dominance on the African continent, they inevitably emerged from local aristocrats to expand.

In the political context of Europe, this is naturally not a big problem. The nobles had to form private troops on their own fiefdoms, but no one had rebelled.

The African continent had no choice but to rely on the power of the nobles to rule. Franz was ready to hold it in his hands, which was close to the near East.

At the Imperial Conference not long ago, property rights were determined on the Asia Minor Peninsula, the Middle East, and the Arabian Peninsula. The representatives passed the proposal to classify the above-mentioned areas as direct jurisdiction of the royal family with absolute advantage.

The votes of several small states united have exceeded 20%, which can theoretically be vetoed.

However, this is limited to theory. Without involving one's own core interests, no one has deliberately made things unhappy with the emperor.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is no reason to oppose it.

The Imperial Parliament has very strict regulations. If it is opposed in order to oppose it, the emperor has the right to remove the member of parliament.

Three or five people are all small problems. As long as the number of representatives exceeds half, the meeting held with the emperor's permission will have legal effect.

The MP is dismissed for five years and has not been replaced. He must wait for the next change of leadership before his subordinate state can send people to enter again.

After so many years of establishment of the Imperial Parliament, no one dared to do anything, just because they were afraid that the emperor would be caught and kicked out and lost their voice in the empire.

There are no people in the Near East now, and the conditions for independent provinces are not met at all; no one, naturally there is no foundation for implementing colonial rule.

It is also a way to divide the rule of states separately. It is not known whether the governments of each state should oppose it. Anyway, the people below will definitely not agree.

For the people of small states, spending money to build the Near East thousands of miles away has no interest in them.

Everyone supports the central government to develop the Near East. The local finance and central finance are divided very clearly, and whoever is responsible for paying for the governance of the territory.

There are so many legal attributes of the land in the Shenluo Empire. No other conditions meet and are not included in the emperor's direct responsibilities. How can the central government legally invest funds for construction?

Even if strategic factors are not considered, the Near East must be rebuilt for the "Roman Empire Dream" deep in everyone's hearts.

It can only be said that the Roman Empire is too awesome and has a strong imprint in the history and culture of Europe. Even though it has been destroyed for thousands of years, there are still a bunch of heirs.

The French regarded themselves as Roman heirs, the Russians regarded themselves as Roman heirs, the Italians regarded themselves as Roman heirs, and the Greeks regarded themselves as Roman heirs...

As the orthodox successor of the Western Roman Empire, the Germans were naturally no exception, especially after the destruction of the Ottoman Empire, the call for rebuilding the Roman Empire was even higher.

Of course, it is only at the verbal stage that the official media definition is very clear - the New Holy Roman Empire.

If you have a few more words, the meaning is completely different. There are so many guys who claim to be the heirs of the Roman Empire, and shouting slogans is very hateful.

Not only in the Near East, Franz was actually planning to include overseas colonies in the emperor's direct jurisdiction, but he temporarily adjourned the situation considering the sentiment of the small state.

After all, it was made by everyone who paid money together. Suddenly, from a legal perspective, there was nothing to do with them, and someone might not understand it.

These are all small problems. The overseas colonies were all vassals of Emperor Franz, not the princes of the empire, and they were determined from the very beginning in terms of law.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to be a prince, but unfortunately Franz doesn’t give it to him. No one can do anything if the emperor doesn’t agree. You can’t jump out and make a fuss with the emperor, right?

That is to tell everyone brightly: I have a problem, I have ambition, I want...

Franz has never seen such a fool. After all, it is impossible for him to get through all the way through military merits, and it is impossible for him to be inflexible.

Since he is the emperor's vassal, there is no way to fight against the emperor, otherwise he can get rid of his title in minutes.

This is also the reason why emerging aristocrats are more obedient. Glory and power are bound to the emperor. If they don’t follow the boss, they will be gone.

The biggest advantage of the emperor's direct responsibilities is that in theory, all the unbordered lands belong to the emperor, and the government only manages the place for the emperor.

Of course, this is limited to theory. If you really eat alone, you will become a lonely person.

Franz was left with no acre of high-quality fertile land, pastures, mountains and forests, and they were all taken out to reward meritorious officials. These areas are also the government's next key construction areas.

(Note: Good fields, pastures, and forests can all be converted into military fields, and the specific proportions are determined based on actual conditions)

After everyone has finished choosing, the remaining bad land belongs to the emperor in terms of law. Let’s put it first and wait until it needs development in the future.

...

After the enthronement ceremony was completed, Franz led a group of emerging aristocrats to draw circles on the map, all of which were determined in advance, and now it is only clear from a legal perspective.

Looking at the excited people, Franz knew that the show had been successful. It was right to think about it. Isn’t everyone wearing corpses on the battlefield just for the glory of this moment?

From now on, no matter what their origins were from before, there is now a unified name - aristocrat.

With political status, your pockets will soon become bulging. Nowadays, the nobles who have fiefs will not be too poor as long as they don’t mess around.

The soldiers below can all obtain hundreds of acres of land to become farmers, not to mention the nobles, perhaps they should not use acres as units, and it is more appropriate to replace them with square kilometers.
