In fact, the higher a person stands, the farther he can see. But this is not always a good thing, for example, at this time Prince Metternich overestimated the so-called Italians.

I can't help but feel a little emotional, the Prince of Metternich, who once vowed to turn Italy into a geographical term, is still old after all.

Compared to the Italian term, the titles of Venetian, Lombard, Tuscan, Parma, Lucca, Modena, Roman, Sicilian, and Sardinian are more acceptable to Italians.

Due to thousands of years of geographical barriers, they have developed different cultures and habits, and even different languages.

Historically, the Italian government began the process of modernizing the Italian language in 1870 and promoted the Tuscani dialect (that is, the Florentine dialect or Tuscan), and it took 120 years to solve the language problem.

The contradictions between the north and the south of Italy persist to this day. However, it is still not appropriate to let these guys be highly concentrated in the Northern Italy region, after all, no one knows if they will end up with the same new problems as Gu refining.

Franz wanted to move it to Tripoli, after all, it will be important in the future, and the local population is seriously underpopulated, let alone development, and even infrastructure cannot be handled.

In fact, there is another point, that is, the execution and dominance shown by the Karamanli family are far from meeting Franz's expectations.

It would be inefficient and wasteful to let them rule the region, and Northern Italy had sailors and dock workers.

In fact, the Italian city-states also had a commercial tradition, so Franz felt that the plan was feasible, and his first plan was to prepare for the migration of 30,000 people to Tripoli from 1846 to 1850.

In fact, there were plans for immigration much earlier, but natural migration was too slow, and from the end of the Second Turkish-Egyptian War to 1846, less than 2,000 Austrians emigrated to Tripoli.

Compared to Tripoli, the natural environment of Tunisia next door is much better, after all, it was the birthplace of Carthaginian civilization.

However, the reality is that Britain, France, Sardinia, and even the United States have intervened in it, and even if Tunisia has made two attempts to attack Tripoli as a bandit, the Austrian side can only treat it as an ordinary banditry.

Therefore, there should be no idea about the land of Tunisia for the time being, unless some kind of agreement is reached with other powers, or some kind of large-scale conflict breaks out.

As for the conscription of Italians into the army, Franz maintained a wait-and-see attitude.

Because the evaluation of Italian soldiers in Austria was polarized at this time, some people held the same opinion as later generations, feeling that Italian soldiers lacked the will to fight and fighting quality.

Morale is always low, obedience is staggeringly poor, disorganized, undisciplined, marching like hiking, fighting like a market, in short, they don't look like an army.

In addition, the Italians are also the most fond group of people in the army, often engaging in secret societies, and using their wisdom and strength to escape military justice and deal with their own people.

Other commanders believed that the Italian soldiers were hard-working, versatile, self-motivated, and sacrificial.

It's impossible to generalize about Italian soldiers, but at least they're good cooks and logisticians, as well as good hunters.

Franz felt that the main reason for some outrageous situations was the overemphasis on humanism, which led to a lack of teamwork and discipline.

There is also a lack of identity and consensus, because since the fall of ancient Rome, Italy has been a state of fragmentation, with greater geographical fragmentation than Germany, and a long-term lack of real threat.

Finally, Italians are often discriminated against, often paid less than other nationalities, and are not paid in full and on time.

Other issues need to be reformed and educated to change slowly, but Franz thought it would be easy to pay for the military, since the Austrian Empire was not short of money, and even had to choose to scatter coins and make some incomprehensible investments in order to reduce its rapidly growing gold reserves.

As for the interconnectedness between the Italians, Franz didn't care too much, after all, they preferred to engage in small groups rather than large unification, and if they didn't do anything, they would fight on their own.

And he also hopes that those potential enemies will emerge on their own, in a sense, to lure the snake out of the hole.

Because of the family's reputation and national image, there are not many opportunities to cut down the roots.

What Franz did not actually contradict Prince Metternich's policy much, so both policies could be pursued at the same time.

On the island of Ireland, the situation is getting worse, as the potato harvest is almost out again.

This time there will be no more food in the cellars, and at the same time, food prices in Britain are at record highs, and more grain is being shipped from the island of Ireland to the British mainland.

The number of people dying of starvation is rising, while more Irish people who cannot afford to pay their rent are being evicted from their homes. The vast majority of land in Ireland is owned by landowners, even their homes.

The landlords had almost medieval feudal lords, and their gains were affected by the effects of famine.

But the poor Irish couldn't afford to pay the rent, so the English landowners came up with a new way.

That is to rent the original share of the land to two families, so that not only can they make up for their losses, but also make a small profit, but then the life of the Irish is more difficult.

The British, following the example of Austria, went bankrupt, and when typhoid fever and cholera broke out in the workhouse, several truckloads of corpses were loaded into the countryside every day for burial.

However, the British have never had a lower limit when it comes to being inappropriate. Lord William Gladstone, the Colonial Secretary, proposed that the Irish could be resettled to Australia, which would both solve the problem of the colony's sparse population and alleviate the famine on the island of Ireland.

The proposal sounded like nothing wrong, but the problem was that when it was implemented, they found that it was not as cost-effective to send Catholic immigrants from Ireland as to buy slaves from East Africa.

Britain would abduct Protestants from Germany, but abandon their own Catholics. At this time, the Governor of New South Wales put forward an opinion, there are too few women in the local area, and he hopes that the British government can immigrate more women to solve the problem of childbirth.

At that time, Australia was not yet a Viceroyalty, but a geographical term consisting of several Viceroyalty.

The British government took the advice of the Governor of South Wales and selected healthy and age-appropriate women in the workhouses.

Countless dirty, dirty deals took place, and eventually batch after batch of Irish girls were lured to Australia to be used as fertility tools for low-level colonists who were almost twice their age.

In this era, the corruption of the high-level life in the colonies is actually no worse than that of the big cities in Europe, and they naturally look down on these ordinary girls.

In fact, the top brass of the South Wales colony said:

"Our money should be spent on decent, well-bred girls, not on a bunch of lowly and ignorant creatures."

Although the lowest level of the Australian colonies did not starve to death, the high-intensity work and childbirth did not bring dignity and material satisfaction, and most people received only a long prison sentence of physical and mental torture.
