The selection of the Governor of Borneo can only be regarded as a small episode. Although it is very important to Italy, it is still very fast to solve this problem.
At present, Italy's focus is still on the vigorous expulsion operations from new territories.
Groups of locals who were driven out of their homes, carrying their own luggage and their families, left their homeland three times under the escort of the army.
A large number of Italian immigrants also swarmed in under the guidance of the government and occupied the land and properties of these people who left.
Plank is such a lucky man. Originally, he was just an unknown hunter in Sardinia. He struggled every day to make a living for himself, his wife, children, and family. He traveled over mountains and ridges every day in search of prey. Although it was very hard work, he still only managed to survive.
Being able to wrap one's belly is one of the poorest families in the village.
During the previous war with the Ottomans, although he had wanted to fight hard, there were so many people in his family that kept him busy, and because he was too old, he was not able to take part.
I don’t know why this time, but my family was selected to become one of the members of the new territory of the Immigration Kingdom. His family was the only one in their village to be selected, which made his family instantly become the focus, even though some of them couldn’t eat grapes.
He is a weird person, but he is more of a blessing.
Fortunately, they did not know that each new immigrant family would be allocated nearly 0.8 hectares of land, otherwise there would be even more jealous people. Although these allocated lands are not free, they need to be based on market value from the second year of farming, except for taxes.
In addition, the annual payment of 5% of the total land price for agricultural products has to be paid for twenty years. But for the Plank family, it is also very worthwhile. After all, the land belongs to them, and as long as they are not lazy, they can do it.
So Plank cherished this opportunity very much, and he vowed never to let anyone take away his beautiful life in the future. So he squeezed the hand holding the gun hard again.
He had seen thugs composed of people who had slipped through the net. On the way to Kosovo, those thugs launched an attack on their team. Those gangsters with ferocious faces suddenly emerged from the woods and rushed toward them.
The officers and soldiers guarding them immediately opened fire on them, and these people rushed towards them despite the firepower of the officers and soldiers, and a fight ensued.
In order to protect his family, Plank also stepped forward to fight with the thugs. His hunting skills allowed him to eliminate several thugs. The thugs who finally attacked were driven away after leaving dozens of corpses. Of course, they
It also cost more than twenty people, among whom a dozen of the escorting officers and soldiers fell.
It was this fight that gave Plank a very clear understanding of his situation.
So after arriving at the destination, he immediately joined the escort team to protect this village composed of immigrants from all over the country from harm.
"Plank!"
Just when he was seriously protecting the village, a loud shout attracted him.
Plank followed the shouting, and a strong man walked towards him in the distance. His left sleeve was extremely eye-catching because it was empty and stuffed in his pocket.
He was quite familiar with this man. He was Hammett, the militia captain of their village.
Plank knew a lot about Captain Hammett. He was a squad leader of the 19th Division before. He lost his left arm in the war with the Ottomans and had to retreat.
There were many cases like his after this war. The military and government mainly resettled these retired officers and soldiers who had fought for Italy after seeking their opinions in new territories.
These people are basically arranged at the grassroots level and used as the backbone. These veterans are very good for Italy to strengthen its rule in the region.
Moreover, unlike the local area where there are many entangled roots, the new territory where the aboriginal people have just left is more like a blank sheet of paper, which is convenient for the government to use.
Hammett walked up to Plank and said, "Plank, there is something I want to tell you."
"What's the matter, Captain?"
"It's like this. The government is currently setting up a railway guard team, and our village has a recommended quota. And I want to give this quota to you. I wonder if you want to go?"
What Hammett said is part of the government's construction and is also a crucial issue in starting construction of the Balkan Railway project.
Rome and the local government did not want to wait for this railway from Durrës to Skopje. While the army was still expelling the Albanian people, under the protection of the army, the exploration team of the Ministry of Transport was carrying out
Line exploration work. After three months of exploration, the direction of this railway line has been determined.
Now comes the question of preparing to start construction. However, the manpower required to start construction is not like the few people required for exploration. This is at least tens of thousands of people. Protecting their safety has become a very important matter.
Although the army can still provide protection for them, the army has its own affairs. It is very busy expelling the Albanians, wiping out the resistance forces, defending key areas and patrolling the borders. If this matter is pushed back,
It doesn't make sense to give it to the army. Therefore, forming a railway guard has become the government's first choice.
The government has made great efforts for this escort team. Each member has 80 Lira plus 150 kilograms of food per month. The team leader, team leader and other positions can be added upwards. This is already very good for many immigrant families.
And in order to ensure the strength of this team, the government can draw out capable people according to the method of one or two people from each village. Such a team of more than a thousand people can easily and quickly form combat effectiveness.
Faced with the captain's request, Plank hesitated after hearing it because he was worried about the situation at home. It would take at least a year and a half to protect and build the railway. If he was not at home, what would he do if something happened at home? But the captain
He couldn't refuse the kindness, so this put him in a dilemma.
"Are you worried about what will happen to your family if you leave?"
One look at his hesitant expression, and Hammett knew what was going on.
"I'm a little worried. The whole family, old and young, can't go home for a year and a half. How can we not be worried?"
When facing the captain, Plank made no secret of his thoughts.
"There is nothing to worry about. The rest of the escort team and I can help you look after your home. We are all from the mainland, and we should look after each other. You don't think that there are dozens of people in our escort team, and we can't help you."
I’ll help you take good care of your home.”
The captain had already said this, so how could Plank have the confidence to refuse. Since the captain valued him so much, Plank immediately agreed.
Moreover, it is not easy to find such a job that can not only serve the country but also support the family.
There are many immigrants like Plank who have quickly integrated into the local environment, and they will form the cornerstone of Italian rule in the Balkans. As for those thugs who caused trouble for the bandits, the army is stepping up its crackdown. However, during the crackdown, the army also discovered some of the masterminds behind it.
