Chapter 422： Princesss suggestion one (1/2)

”Ruprecht, you have a dispute with your father?” Princess Mary asked worriedly.

”Yes, there has been a dispute, His Majesty the Emperor... It's too much trouble.” The prince suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said in another more tactful tone.

”You are using the Austro-Hungarian Empire as a gunman. Your Majesty is naturally not happy.” Princess Mary said.

”Do you really think that I did this because of the order of the Kaiser? No, the order of the Kaiser is only a convenience. No matter what the attitude of the two royal families, I will do it. Because this is a Opportunity, great benefits can be obtained.” The prince thought for a while and said.

”Huge benefits? What does Turkey have? They have nothing!” Princess Mary's attitude was the same as that of the Austrian Emperor.

”The British have already made concessions on the oil exploitation rights of the Mesopotamia. The construction work will begin soon, and if it is completed, Turkish oil can enter the German and Austrian-Hungarian markets! Oil-based The industry will be popular!” said the prince.

”Although I don't know a lot, I believe that the Kingdom of Bavaria can benefit from it. But from the perspective of the princess of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, you still cannot convince my father. The princess smiled: ”If this benefit is really great If it's huge, then you won't be divided into the Austro-Hungarian Empire, just like hardened armor. ”

”You are right, I am not planning to give this benefit to anyone.” The prince nodded.

”But I also arranged a generous gift for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but His Majesty did not intend to accept it!” The prince wanted the help of Austro-Hungary, or the saying that Austro-Hungary was a gunman was also correct to some extent. However, the prince also considered the interests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After all, there is no advantage that Austro-Hungary would not be allowed to take action. It is a pity that the Austro-Hungarian emperor did not seem to have the opportunity to explain to the prince, so he flatly refused. So the prince decided to go it alone!

”The oil in the Mesopotamia is owned by the Bavarian royal family, but the agriculture in the Mesopotamia is what I originally left to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It's a pity that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't appreciate it!” By the standards of the time, Turkey was considered to have a vast land and a sparse population. Later generations of Libya, Asia Minor, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel, as well as the Mesopotamia and Turkey along the coast of the Arabian Peninsula have only 30 million people! Most of the population is concentrated in Asia Minor and the Mediterranean coast.

It is reasonable to say that the Mesopotamia has fertile soil and is an important part of the ancient Fertile Crescent. It is reasonable to say that there should be more people. However, it is a pity that the resistance there is also fierce, especially in recent years. The cavalry has killed several times... So a lot of land was vacated. The prince needs to build an oil field, which must be manpower and food. And this part of the benefits was originally intended for Austria-Hungary.

Where do so many Germans in the United States come from? It is not exact that these people are called Germans, because many of them are from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. From 1890 to the outbreak of the First World War, how many Austro-Hungarian subjects went to the distant shore of the ocean may be an uncountable number. But according to estimates, this number will not be less than 3 million. As for the reasons for immigration, there are two reasons. The first is that the living conditions are not good, and a large number of peasants go bankrupt and there is no way out, and the second is the lack of entertainment.

As for the latter, the prince could not help, but the former could find a way. Do you think it was easy to immigrate to the United States at that time? Manhattan Island in New York had a famous nickname called the Island of Tears. A considerable part of European immigrants will not be accepted by the US government because of inability and lack of skill!
