Prime Minister Felix put out a document to give Franz, said: „Your majesty, considering African colony rich resources , many immigrations, we made one set of colonial economy development plan, please glance.” 费利克斯首相拿出了一份文件递给了弗朗茨,说道:“陛下,考虑到非洲殖民地资源丰富,又有不少移民,我们制定了一套殖民地经济发展计划,请过目。” Colonial economy development plan? After this view unusual vanguard, in the Franz memory should be self-administration appears, the autonomous government makes systematically the economic development plan. 殖民地经济发展计划？这个说法非常的前卫,在弗朗茨记忆中应该是自治领出现过后,自治政府才制定系统了经济发展计划。 Now in everyone's consciousness, opens the colony to plunder the wealth. Basically lets matters drift regarding the local economic development, does not have the long-term plan. 现在大家的意识中,开辟殖民地就是为了掠夺财富。对于当地的经济发展基本上都是放任自流,没有长远规划。 The doubts turned over to the doubts, Franz to receive the document, looked earnestly, was quick he to know why will have this plan. 疑惑归疑惑,弗朗茨还是接过了文件,认真的看了起来,很快他就知道为什么会有这份计划了。 It is not the Vienna government has takes a long-range approach, is not the interest group promotes, this is only the one instinct of ruling class. 不是维也纳政府有多么高瞻远瞩,也不是利益集团推动的,这只是统治阶级的一种本能。 As ruling class competition sence time, natural will approach itself to incline. Now what leads African colonizing is the aristocrat group, controls the Austria Libyan government is also the aristocrat group. 作为统治阶级制定政策的时候,天然就会向自身倾斜。现在主导非洲殖民的是贵族集团,主宰奥地利政府的也是贵族集团。 Opens before the farm and plantation is successful, many people have the anxiety. The plantation that now early period opens has started to gain, the successful example has put at present, everyone's heavy visual degree is entirely different. 在农场、种植园开辟成功前,很多人还有疑虑。现在早期开辟的种植园已经开始赢利,成功的例子已经摆在了眼前,大家的重视度已经大不相同。 It looks like in many traditional aristocrats, these are God bestow their wealth, can conduct the family property. The colony develops is better, everyone's wealth more increment. 在很多传统贵族看来,这些就是上帝赐给他们的财富,可以传承家业。殖民地发展越好,大家的财富就越增值。 The ruling class must maintain own interests naturally, does not need the person to promote, the Vienna government made the colony development plan. 统治阶级天然要维护自身的利益,不需要人推动,维也纳政府就制定了殖民地发展计划。 Asking that Franz cares about: „Constructs one from the Guinean area to the railroad in Congo area, has explored the terrain? In the technology has the difficulty? How is the financial problem solved?” 弗朗茨关心的问:“从几内亚地区修建一条到刚果地区的铁路,勘探过地形么？技术上有没有困难？资金问题又怎么解决？” Good, he neglected decisively also had many areas on the way, was not in the control area that Austria benefitted. 好吧,他果断的忽略了途中还有很多地区,不在奥地利的控制范围之内。 This age, spoke by the fist in any case, since Vienna made this plan, naturally completed preparation that captured these areas. 反正这个年代,就是靠拳头说话,既然维也纳制定了这个计划,自然就做好了夺取这些地区的准备。 Prime Minister Felix explained: „ Landform and terrain, colony government initial exploration. Theoretically, completes this railroad construction by our present railroad construction technique sufficiently. 费利克斯首相解释道:“地貌、地形,殖民地政府已经初步勘探过了。理论上,以我们现在的铁路施工技术足以完成这条铁路建设。 Considered that the need in economy, this railroad must link up most cities, in addition the branch railroad, the total length over 10,000 kilometers, we may plan the partition construction, the geographical qualification bad area can put behind. 考虑经济上的需要,这条铁路必须要贯通大部分城市,加上支线铁路,总里程可能会超过一万公里,我们计划分段施工,地理条件恶劣地区可以放在后面。 The construction funds are primarily the folk to put up shares, the insufficient part was supplemented by the government investment. In order to arouse everyone's investment enthusiasm, we can the railroad two sides 20 kilometers places within of without owner transfer to the railway company. ” 建设资金还是以民间募股为主,不足的部分由政府出资补充。为了激发大家的投资积极性,我们可以将铁路两边二十公里内的无主之地划拨给铁路公司。” Franz knows that this railroad is not absolutely easy to complete, the achievable technology, the high cost will make one collapse to the actual construction in theoretically. 弗朗茨知道这条铁路绝对不是那么容易完成的,很多理论上可以实现的技术,到了实际施工中高昂的成本会让人崩溃。 The African colony is not a native place, the most areas have not conducted the effective development, many raw materials must from the internal transportation, the construction cost definitely dramatically increase. 非洲殖民地不是本土,大部分地区都没有进行有效开发,很多原材料都要从国内运输,建设成本肯定会大幅度增加。 By the economic development of African colony, the railroads of this strategic economy dual function, may unable to win the advantage over the next several years. 以非洲殖民地的经济发展来看,这条战略经济双重作用的铁路,未来数十年可能都赢不了利。 The profit point of railway company, on railroad two sides lands. Who continued this railroad, who is the biggest landlord. 铁路公司的赢利点,就在铁路两边的土地上。谁承接了这条铁路,谁就是最大的地主。 This studies the means of US railroad construction, now such land naturally is not valuable, but other railroad constructions were completed, these lands also rose in value. 这是学习美国铁路建设的办法,现在这样土地自然是不值钱,可是等铁路建设完成了,这些土地也就增值了。 The railway company can definitely separate an area to construct a site, radiates to the neighboring region. Solved the traffic problem, in these areas opens the plantation, mines, can receive the good return. 铁路公司完全可以隔一段地区修建一个站点,辐射到周边地区。解决了交通问题,在这些地区无论是开辟种植园,还是挖矿,都可以获得不错的回报。 If puts in the later generation, such business estimated that everyone will give all out. Railroad two sides 20 kilometers, is 40 kilometers, this railroad construction is completed, can obtain 400,000 square kilometers land ownership. 如果搁在后世,这样的生意估计大家会挤破头。铁路两边二十公里,也就是四十公里,这条铁路修建完成,就可以获得四十万平方公里土地所有权。 Such big piece area, that fears does not have any resources, the light was sells the wood/blockhead to recoup the construction cost. 这么大片面积,那怕没有任何资源,光是卖木头都可以收回建设成本了。 What a pity, now lumber, buries in the underground minerals, is not valuable. Only if discovered the kustelite, otherwise can this investment make a profit the unknown. 可惜,现在无论是木材,还是埋在地下的矿产,都还不值钱。除非发现了金银矿,不然这笔投资能不能获利还是未知数。 Calculated after one carefully, Franz discovered that this in fact is also a high-quality project. 仔细盘算了一遍过后,弗朗茨发现这实际上也是一个优质项目。 Constructs the railroad in Africa, first labor cost can save, even if there is a labor protection, the local area indigenous does not know where should arrive sues. 在非洲修建铁路,首先劳工成本可以省下来,就算有劳工保护法,当地土著也不知道该到什么地方去投诉。 Naturally, even if found the suit place, is not useful. The complainants must first learn German, otherwise the case will not be accepted. 当然,就算是找到了投诉的地方,也没有什么用。投诉人必须要先学会德语,不然案件不会被受理。 Can learn indigenous of German, is not the floor labor, this talent had been promoted to become the supervisor. They must sue, first unlucky is oneself. 能够学会德语的土著,也不会是底层劳工,这种人才早就被提拔成为了监工。他们要去投诉,最先倒霉的就是自己。 Everyone is concerned about face, maltreating the labor definitely is a supervisor. No high level from falling the status, rushes to the railroad work site to take the whip to pull out the person personally. 大家都是要脸的,虐待劳工肯定是监工。没有哪个高层会自降身份,亲自跑到铁路工地上拿鞭子抽人。 The sand and crushed stone, railroad tie and other fundamental raw materials can bring on oneself, the cement does not need to buy from outside, can definitely construct a cement plant in the area, saved the most raw material expense. 砂石、枕木等基础原材料可以自取,水泥也不需要外购,完全可以在当地建一个水泥厂,又节省了大半的原材料费用。 Even if the mechanical device and railway rail, need from the internal transportation, in fact to increase is still the transport expense. Generally speaking, construction cost in controllable range. 就算是机械设备、铁轨,需要从国内运输,实际上增加的也就是运费。总体上来说,建设成本在可控范围内。 The railway company has such big piece land, that feared that is the again rottenness of development, the light sells the resources also to gain. 铁路公司拥有这么大片的土地,那怕是开发的再烂,光卖资源也能够赢利。 Franz said calm: „ Since these issues were solved, then this railroad cultivates! However must remember the cost control, the government cannot massive financial investments to this railroad on. 弗朗茨淡定的说:“既然这些问题都解决了,那么这条铁路就修吧！不过要记得控制成本,政府不能将大量的财力投入到这条铁路上面。 Focuses on developing the plantation economy, the mentality is good, but also needs the emphasis point. 重点发展种植园经济,思路是不错的,不过还需要有侧重点。 The colonizing government can organize the expert to inspect on the spot, where suits plants what crops, then guides everyone to plant anything. 殖民政府可以组织专家实地考察,什么地方适合种植什么作物,那么就引导大家种植什么。 The government regional the soil texture, climates, hydrology and other data compilations, again suiting the planter industrial crop row comes up, provides to the people. 政府将各地的土质、气候、水文等资料整理出来,再把适合种植的经济作物列上去,发放给民众。 Plants anything specifically, makes everyone choose freely, the government does not make the force. 具体种植什么,还是让大家自由抉择,政府不做强迫。 According to the current international situation, the US civil war is ready to be set off, when the time comes their cotton and tobacco exits definitely will be affected, we can first prepare in this aspect. ” 根据目前的国际形势,美国内战一触即发,到时候他们的棉花、烟草出口势必受到影响,我们可以在这方面先做准备。” This railroad serves everyone interest, once on the land the traffic problem has been solved, the land that everyone can develop changed, does not need only to develop coastal and along the river area likely now. 这条铁路是符合大家利益的,一旦陆地上交通问题得到解决,大家可以开发的土地又变多了,不用像现在只能开发沿海、沿河地区。 As one in those with vested interests, Franz naturally cannot oppose. Even he must participate, slices. 作为既得利益者中的一员,弗朗茨自然不会反对。甚至他还要参与进去,从中分一杯羹。 When can lay as for this railroad, can turn into the rotten tail project, Franz was not worried. 至于这条铁路什么时候能够修通,会不会变成烂尾工程,弗朗茨是一点儿都不担心。 The colony is not a native place, if meets the terrain bad area, building the cost is really high, then shuts down for several years also indifferently, the time is not in any case anxious. 殖民地不是本土,要是遇到地形恶劣地区,修筑成本实在是太高,那么停工几年也无所谓,反正工期又不急。 Focuses on developing the cotton crop, mainly to fight for the cotton market of US, once the civil war will break out the cotton export definitely to be affected. 重点发展棉花种植,主要是为了抢夺美国的棉花市场,一旦内战爆发棉花出口肯定会受影响。 Must know that the cotton export volume of this age American is close to 190 million US dollars, occupied 2/3 of global cotton export market share. 要知道这个年代美国人的棉花出口额接近1.9亿美元,占据了全球棉花出口市场份额的三分之二。 In the history, the US civil war causes the cotton export to cut off, the cotton manufacturing industry of Britain was damaged. In order to avoid being caught the neck, John Bull forces to promote the cotton crop in India directly. 历史上,美国内战导致棉花出口断绝,英国的棉纺织业就遭到了重创。为了避免被卡住脖子,约翰牛直接在印度强制推行棉花种植。 After the war ended, when the trade returns to normal, the cotton export volume of US has dropped 6 million US dollars, again also no longer hegemon position in the cotton market. 等战争结束后,贸易恢复正常时,美国的棉花出口额已经下降到了600万美元,再也不复棉花市场上的霸主地位。 The colony that Austria benefits suits the area of planter cotton is also many, so long as can seize the chance to rob the American 1/3 market shares to come, the colony finance turned over/stood up. 奥地利的殖民地适合种植棉花的地区也不少,只要能够趁机抢夺美国人三分之一市场份额过来,殖民地财政就翻身了。 ...... ……
