Rudolph still wrote back: "The stars shine so that everyone can one day find their own star." I don't have time to be seriously young, and when I understand it, I can only choose to grow old seriously. If you want to understand a person's inner world, you should not look at his past achievements, but look at what he wants to do. I will glance at you out of the corner of my eye and don't speak, words are always a source of misunderstanding. ”

He wrote it little by little, in a gentle tone, with euphemistic words, politely expressing his refusal, and subtly explaining that he had no home.

No one can do this kind of thing for him, first, this kind of reply belongs to personal privacy, and second, he dislikes the lack of cultural level of others. Whether in the past life or in the present life, Rudolph has the capital of pride. Rudolph looked at Cassia and Fran, who were sitting next to him, two middle school students.

Although it is a bit inappropriate to judge a person by his academic qualifications, it is still an objective standard. Literacy rates are also an important indicator from a national perspective. Like Austria-Hungary's good neighbors and allies, compulsory education has been implemented since reunification. The quality of the people and the industrial capacity are the confidence of their courage to go to war. In this world, countries with higher literacy rates than Germany do not have as many people as Germany; Countries with more populous populations than Germany have much lower literacy rates than Germany.

Rudolph has no need to worry about education and culture in his homeland. In the industrial regions of Neletania, Austria and Bohemia-Moravia, the literacy rate of the population is more than 85%. But in Galicia and Bukovina, the agricultural regions of Ukraine and Romania, literacy rates have not yet reached 60 percent.

The economic base determines the superstructure, and the empire develops from west to east, with a very uneven development. Such a pattern will determine even a hundred years from now.

Rudolph recalled the data in his memory, which was the per capita GDP of more than a dozen countries, although it did not directly reflect the current situation, but it was also very representative. In the past hundred years, neither the new great war nor the peaceful evolution has produced much change.

Austria is about 50,000 dollars, Slovenia 25,000, Czech 20,000, Slovakia 18,000, Croatia 15,000, Hungary 14,000, Poland 14,000, Romania 9,000, Ukraine 3,500. There is also a special Liechtenstein, which has the second highest GDP per capita in the world at $158,000.

This is the data for 2011, and Rudolph could not have imagined that later, there would be a civil war in Ukraine and the poorest country in Europe would be plunged into turmoil.

Reminisce about the vicissitudes of history and look at the many legacies of the empire. Rudolf still has the deepest feelings for the Czech Republic, it is like a complete fallacy.

Bohemia has always been the most prosperous region of the Holy Roman Empire, the Austrian Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. As a small country in Central Europe created by the West Slavs, the history of the Czech Republic is full of humiliation. Historically, the Czech Republic has suffered three major invasions, the first of which was annexed by the Habsburgs, who became a Habsburg province. During this period, the Czechs were forced to convert to Catholicism and adopt German as their Chinese language.

Then there was the German occupation of the Czech Republic. On March 15, 1939, German troops invaded Czechoslovakia. Because the strategic depth was too small, and Slovakia had already fallen to Germany, the German army had already announced that it would accept German "protection" before it arrived. It took only 18 hours for German troops to capture Prague.

Finally, and the most hurtful to the Czechs, was the invasion of the former Soviet Union. In August 1968, the Soviet Union suddenly dispatched 500,000 troops to occupy the entire territory of Czechoslovakia. The cause was the famous "Prague Spring" movement. Thanks to the efforts of Dubcek, the reformist leader who was then the first secretary of the Czech Communist Party, the Czech Republic adopted a "Program of Action" and put forward the idea of reform: reforming the party's leadership system and implementing a planned market economy. This reform was seriously contrary to the wishes of the former Soviet Union. Once the practice of allowing the common people to achieve common prosperity spreads, it will inevitably shake the foundation of the privileged class in the Soviet Union.

Dubcek was arrested, and the puppet Husak came to power, who immediately repudiated the 1968 reforms. The purge immediately began, killing more than 500,000 party members, including Dubcek, convicting more than 2 million people across the country, and forcing about 200,000 people to flee to the West.

Rudolph sighed, will all this ever happen again? There is no substitute for the Czech Republic, it is the "heart of the Austro-Hungarian Empire", and most of the empire's industry is concentrated in the Czech Republic. Austria-Hungary's machinery, military industry, ships and power equipment all depended on it.

Rudolph stopped lyricism and reminiscences and began to seriously think about his work. Austria-Hungary's industrial capacity is at the forefront of the world, and the name Skoda is in full swing at this time. In memory of the Austro-Hungarian military industry can not be called useless, but it was also not fully developed.

There were preparations before the war, a reform of armaments and the state, and the Austro-Hungarian army was at least able to adapt to modern warfare. The increase in combat effectiveness and the change in the outcome of a war will naturally have a negative impact on all aspects of a country.

Rudolph got off the train, and before he came, he only informed the people of the military. There was not much pomp and circumstance, and the Czech government did not know about his arrival.

Prague is not a purely industrial city, but the war has made it more prosperous. The army did not mobilize many soldiers in the Czech Republic, and the empire had not yet embarrassed to send the workers of the arsenal to the front.

Everyone was watching the war, but those in the rear would not know about the cruelty at the front, until one day a death notice arrived.

Newspapers are vetted, and family letters are censored. No one can see the truth, especially in the case of victory.

Rudolph was in his office looking at the report, drafting a plan. The crown prince gave him the authority to manage wartime arms production in a unified manner, but a more detailed approach was needed to get to the bottom of it.

Rudolph handed over the plan to the military department, which then forwarded it to the government. The central authorities issued an order to "make every effort to ensure the production of armaments."

Rudolf summoned officials from the Czech Ministry of Industry and officers from the procurement department. Rudolf placed a new order with the factories, ordering them to adopt a division of labor, standardize and type production. In this way, there is no need to increase equipment or manpower, and production capacity can be greatly increased.

Rudolf also demanded improved technology, simplified production processes, and unnecessary process savings. However, the stamping technology is not yet mature, and it can only make a fuss about some munitions.

In some large factories, Rudolph ordered the abolition of the "workstation" system and vigorously promoted the production line. Although the production line can improve production efficiency, it requires more manpower.

Through his military service, Rudolph recruited a large number of people to transfer to military production, and at the same time, he actively encouraged women to work in factories.

In order to ensure production, he transported enough food and provided additional subsidies to the working people in the name of the government.

The evil capitalists will not pay, in fact, they will not let the state interfere in production if it were not for the sake of the face of the order.

The rate of profit is their only criterion, and surplus value is their only pursuit.

However, Rudolph is also glad that these capitalists are also aristocrats, and they are surrounded by the empire and will still listen to orders.

The only thing Rudolf thanked was the people, although the classes were different, but it must be said that it was they who made history and embodied the spirit of Prague.

"One of the most striking features of Prague is that it is not exaggerated. Prague is one of the few big cities, but you won't find high-rise buildings or triumphal arches in the city centre, where there are many palaces that, despite their opulence, have an unobtrusive façade that looks like army barracks on the surface, much smaller than they actually are. They built many secondary schools, pre-university schools, and hospitals, but they did not build a grand council chamber. Czech life is not about ostentation, nonsense, fireworks, dazzling social, casinos or large military parades. It leans more towards markets, seasonal festivals, and austere dances.

If Prague has always existed and has not lost its charm or beauty, it is because it is very sturdy and, like its people, has always adhered to their indomitable spirit. For me, the symbolic center of the city's material and spiritual spirit is the Charles Bridge, which is almost 800 years old and runs from east to west. It also represents the city's rare innocence of being able to recover from a disaster. For many years, it has resisted the high currents that have surged into Prague, only once it has been damaged, and two centuries ago, two bridge arches collapsed and pedestrians above were swallowed up by floodwaters. ”

Rudolf posted what he had seen in the newspaper, and the Czech language was translated, but the original version was also published in a German newspaper.

"I don't know if Kafka will see it, I don't know if he agrees." Rudolph thought so.
