Slovakia is also a typical sparsely populated country, but with a population of more than 2 million occupying 50,000 square kilometers, an average of 60 people per square kilometer.

Slovakia had a large number of Czechs and Hungarians, which was a major breakthrough point for Ernst to declare sovereignty here, because he would not be able to rule so much, and even many Slovak citizens wanted to return to the camp of the Czech principality early on.

For Slovakia, Ernst was not destined to give him autonomy, and there was only one way to go, and that was to annex the Czech principality. With the passage of time, the former Czech principality now has development limitations, after all, its territory is only some, far from being comparable with such territorial powers as the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Lithuania.

Possession of Slovakia is an opportunity for the Czech principality, a new life, and an opportunity to break through the current obstacles, but no one will know how far this opportunity can make the Czech principality.

Slovakia's high terrain and large part of the territory is mountainous, which is an obstacle to economic development, after all, the laying of railway tracks and other aspects of transportation are not so easy. Therefore, the small part of the plains is the main area of human life, and the mountains and mountains can only be used for tourism and agriculture.

In terms of resources, the country occupies one-third of the territory, a small number of small oil fields, relatively rich coal resources, extremely rich water resources, in short, it is very difficult to develop Slovakia with underground resources, because the ore resources here are really very small.

Slovakia now has 8 states, 60 cities, and more than 2,500 counties and towns, and the number of these counties and towns makes Slovakia have a large number of police officers and relatively few soldiers. The main thing is that the surrounding countries are strong. Slovakia's economic power struggled to support a large army force. More than 20,000 is already the limit.

Ernst suddenly announced the ownership of Slovakia, and the Slovak government was naturally very nervous, and they knew the situation in the country best, and even the Slovak government did not even want to resist.

The citizens are willing, the army has no strength, how can they resist in such a situation? At present, the Slovak government can only negotiate and obtain a good condition through negotiations, not to mention the other things that will keep the status of its own party first, and then talk about other things, which is not considered a betrayal, after all, it is a group of people who want to surrender to the Czech principality.

Actually, for the countries of Eastern Europe. The only countries that really stand in the way are Austria, the Balkans, and the Soviet government, and as long as Ernst declares sovereignty, it is estimated that no country will form an obstacle, and the title of King of Eastern Europe has the effect of stabilizing and occupying +10 in Eastern Europe.

People living in Eastern Europe, they talk about Ernst the most, unconsciously Ernst already has considerable influence in Eastern Europe, and now Britain, France and the United States can only restrict Ernst from really unifying Eastern Europe with the Four-Power Alliance, and they have no way to increase their influence.

Including education in European countries, some schools have openly spoken about the future of the Czech principality and the Quadruple Alliance, both in and out of the way if they submit to the Quadruple Alliance. So what kind of status will it be, the students are very serious. They didn't think there was anything wrong with them, and they didn't think their teachers were traitors.

This is the actual influence of Ernst in Eastern Europe, people have become accustomed to the Quadruple Alliance, using euros, buying Quadruple goods, people want to live in the Quadruple Alliance, just like Southeast Asia in the Tang and Song dynasties, everyone expects to be able to become a Celestial Empire.

The diplomats of the Quadruple Alliance have gone to Slovakia for a meeting in which Slovakia will be annexed to the Czech Duchy, but the new Czech Duchy will not be the same as the Kingdom of Poland-East Prussia-Lithuania, which will remain the Czech Duchy.

The global economic impact has been severe in Slovakia, where only about 26 per cent of the population is employed, and even if students and children are excluded, the figure of 26 per cent is very small, since Slovakia has at least 60 per cent of the population with young and middle-aged workers.

At this time, the Slovak government was on the verge of dissolution, and to be honest, at this time, Ernst still had the advantage of being benevolent and righteous, and the citizens of Slovakia would not think that Ernst wanted to invade himself but to save him.

Slovakia's agriculture is very developed, but the corresponding agricultural equipment is still relatively backward, if all of them are replaced with agricultural equipment from the Czech principality, I believe that it is not difficult to double the output.

The negotiations lasted about a week, and after a week the diplomats of the Quad Alliance returned to Warsaw, and the negotiations went well, and Slovakia had basically agreed to join the Czech principality, but now Ernst needed to solve the problem of Slovak jobs, and he needed to provide at least more than 100,000 jobs to pass the Slovak elections.

100,000 jobs is not a lot, and even Ernst waved his hand and directly gave the goal of 300,000 jobs, of course, Ernst is very easy here, but it is very difficult to really implement, at least a large number of companies are very headache to go to Slovakia to visit, investigate, and look for business opportunities.

To be honest, the economy of Slovakia is very poor, the prices here are very cheap, and the same is true of labor, but it is simply to build Slovakia into a processing base, not to mention Ernst, even the Slovak government will not agree, but where will it be so easy to revive the economy.

At the same time, Hitler was still struggling, a new round of elections in Germany was underway, and Hitler wanted to directly get the presidency, which Hindenburg never expected, and in a hurry he could only organize forces to resist as much as possible.

Many people are not very optimistic about Hindenburg, because the strength of the new forces led by Hitler has approached the traditionalists, but the result is unexpected, it was Hindenburg who won the victory, after all, it was still 16 percent higher than the votes to win, and it cannot but be said that Hitler's foundation is still somewhat weak.

The Nazi Party was a little disappointed by the defeat in the election, but Hitler did not say anything about it, and even took the initiative to say that it was their victory, because it was really unexpected to reach 37% of the vote, after all, the Nazi Party has only been formed for more than ten years.

Hitler was a man of speech, and his words calmed the depression within the party, not only that, but it even stirred up the mood of the citizens, and people began to pay attention to the new party and began to choose support, even if there is no data to suggest that Hitler's popularity had increased, but in fact.

Wilhelm II also sent someone to comfort him, for which Hitler expressed his heartfelt gratitude, knowing that without Wilhelm II's support, Hitler would never have come to this point.

The Quad Alliance and Ernst? Hitler was equally grateful, but the events in East Prussia made Hitler feel very bad about the Quadruple and Ernst, and Hitler did not want to have much to do with the Quad if he could. Of course, this kind of thing is just a thought, the Quad is on one side, how could Hitler put an end to dealing with the Quad Alliance?

Slovakia is a good place, a good place to train people, so for the three projects of the standardization of the Four-Power Alliance: the promotion of urbanization, the railway connection, and the reform of agricultural education, the three things were entrusted to Lorenz. Franz went to take care of it, which is also Lorenz. Franz's first assignment.

The preparation for the establishment of the Holy Knights was Charlie's assignment, and Ernst could not be said to be too satisfied with this assignment, but he barely met the passing standard. Ernst had a little expectation of Franz's results.

Speaking of his sons, Heinrich still lives in Vilnius and continues his ordinary life, and in fact Ernst does not have much sustenance for his kind second son, as long as he is safe, then everything will be fine.

It's not that heinrich is the most disappointing, any person's personality is different, their strengths and weaknesses are naturally different, in terms of human feelings, only Heinrich has the most among the three sons and a nephew.

While Mesimilian was a little nervous about his son being in charge of such an important matter for the first time, Archduke Ferdinand was much more uneventful. Franz has this ability, and now Lorenz. Franz was like Prince Flanders at this time, although he did not have any royal potential, but he was very suitable for work such as prime minister and executive director.

A team of more than 100 consultants will accompany Lorenz. Franz will go to Slovakia together, and they will conduct relevant surveys on Slovakia's humanities, economy, agriculture, and education, and are expected to complete three standard projects within three years: urbanization promotion, railway connection, and agricultural education reform.

Once Slovakia becomes a member of the Czech principality, the relevant police departments and armies will have to be reorganized, and of course the possibility of the army being dismantled is very high, because now the army of the Quadruple Alliance can meet any needs, and if it were not for the Second World War, Ernst would have planned to disarm.

Ernst's attitude towards various government departments is very tough, and there is no hesitation for those who are capable and those who are mediocre, which is the main reason why the four-nation alliance can have today.

Although Slovakia is not a rich country, the local forces here are still very strong, and they have a great influence on the local area. Whether Franz will be able to win the confrontation with them may only be known from heaven.

"Worried?"

"It's okay, it's just that I haven't seen Lorenz for a while and don't know ...... him"

"You've got to trust Lorenz, Mysimilian, he's perfectly up to the task." (To be continued.) )
