Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 67

Prime Minister Azelio felt a chill in his heart, and he reacted. He just expressed his position too quickly, without first asking the king's opinion, which caused Charlie Albert's dissatisfaction.

Politics is so subtle, and the Kingdom of Sardinia is also a constitutional monarchy. In this case, the Prime Minister bypasses the king to make a decision. If Charlie Albert does not respond, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be overhead.

Obviously, Charlie Albert is not a political white like Louis XVI, with a political level of at least 90 points, and immediately began to beat him.

After thinking about all of this, Prime Minister Azelio said in a panic: "Your Majesty, at present we only need two methods to solve the financial problem, either levy a war tax or borrow from an international consortium."

Charlie Albert glared fiercely at him, inwardly cursing: "Old Slippery Head".

Prime Minister Azeleo said only half of the words, "collect war tax"-to whom to levy, there must be a scope?

The old site of the Kingdom of Sardinia has been expropriated. Is the expropriation targeted at Lombardy or is it collected nationwide?

This is an errand that offends the people. The ordinary people clang for their poorness, and squeezing them is obviously a mess. Then they can only reach out to the capitalists and nobles.

Do n’t look at the nobles and capitalists of the Kingdom of Sardinia who seem to be very patriotic, and donate money actively. If they really want them to pay for it, they will find that things are not so serious.

There are still fraudulent donations in the 21st century when the Internet is highly developed, not to mention this era?

Who wouldn't be a show?They can do even more, donate 10,000 lire, and turn around to earn 20,000-30,000 lire everywhere.

Borrowing from an international consortium?Now who is willing to lend money to the Kingdom of Sardinia?Apart from the British, is there any country that lent them money now?

International loans are all high-risk and high-yield. Without government involvement, who can guarantee the return?In the event of the defeat of the Kingdom of Sardinia, who are they asking for money?

Looking for a loan from the British, it is inevitable that they will be knocked out, and there is still no way of knowing how many treaties to be signed. No one wants to do this kind of long-lost business.

"Oh, since the Prime Minister already knows, then implement it as soon as possible!"

Charlie Albert did not hesitate to finalize the result.

Isn't constitutional monarchy just giving the king power?Now he is decentralized.In short, this matter has nothing to do with the king, all are responsible for the cabinet.

For the boss to blame, there is still some awareness of Prime Minister Azelio.However, the black pot can't do it alone, Azelio is not stupid, of course, to pull people into the water.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will go back and hold a government meeting to discuss this matter, and implement this matter as soon as possible!"

Charlie Albert nodded in satisfaction. The Prime Minister took over the responsibility. It is not important whether the last black pot is his own, or the officials below are responsible for resistance.As long as he is not difficult to do as a king, he is a good courtier.

"Well, the Cabinet is responsible for solving the problem of military expenditure, but the military action against Venice cannot be delayed, and the War Department must prepare for the war as soon as possible!" Charlie Albert added

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Army Secretary Li Qi quickly answered

He already understood what the king meant. No matter how difficult it is, the battle against Venice must be fought first. This is politically correct.

As for how to fight, it is not necessarily the case. It is possible to concentrate on the full attack and send out a small unit of tentative attack. You must let the outside world see the determination of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Li Qi has been satisfied. He has fought for the frontline army for a period of time. The early tentative attack dragged on for ten days and a half months. Isn't it a problem?

This combined preparation time can almost drag the date of the decisive battle to June, and the training of recruits is basically over.

...

The Kingdom of Sardinia was preparing and the Austrian side was not idle. After Marshal Radkis retreated to the Venice area, he first suppressed the local rebellion.

After the execution of a group of leaders, the Vienna government added more than 70,000 free labor. For the problems of the Venice area, these people were immediately taken away by the Austrian government.

Because of the war, these people did not have time to make a careful assessment, and they all joined the road-building army in an effort to ensure the logistics of the Austrian army.

After such a lot of tossing, the Venice area has also stabilized, at the cost of the economy almost stagnation.

However, as long as you think that this place will soon become a battlefield, then it does not matter, can you still count on economic development during the war?

"Sir Marshal, Sir Rotes, please!" The attendant whispered

Marshal Radkis smiled slightly and said, "Let him come in!"

...

Rost gave a noble salute to Radkis, then said respectfully: "Dear Lord Marshal, Rost Holder is honored to meet you!"

According to the convention, this time should be called the title, but compared to the title, Radkis prefers others to call him Marshal, Rotus is naturally better.

"Me too, why is Mr. Robert coming to see me today?" Marshal Radkis asked with a smile

Rotes replied: "My Excellency, I am here today on behalf of the Venetian Business Association. You know that this rebellion was involved ..."

After he finished speaking, Marshal Radkis interrupted strongly: "Mr. Rotes, the rebels will not be forgiven. If you want to plead for them, you don't need to say it.

The leaders who have been caught are basically killed. Those who are not caught can leniency if they surrender themselves!"

Feeling the irritability of Radkis, the cold sweat on Rotus's forehead came out.This is April, the weather in Venice is not hot.

He couldn't help being glad that he had always opposed the violent revolution and did not participate in this rebellion, otherwise he would have to add another head on the pillar of Venice.

This time, the Vienna government killed the insurgents, even if the relationship is common, it is useless. If you catch it, killing it will not leave them any time for activities.

Rotus said eloquently: "No, Lord Marshal. How can I plead with these chaotic parties?"

Marshal Radkis laughed and said, "Oh, don't be nervous and say slowly. As long as it has nothing to do with the chaos, then everything is okay. Your father Old Rotus is still a friend with me. What do I need to help?"

After the shock, Rotes regretted the muddy water.As a noble part-time capitalist, the first identity is still noble.
