Holy Roman Empire

Cairo

After the mediation of Britain and France, the negotiations finally achieved staged results, and Jonas agreed to make limited concessions.Only this concession, just what he thought, the Egyptians could not feel it.

"Mr. Mehmet, we can choose not to pursue your responsibilities, but you must pay enough compensation, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the people.

You must pay for the loss of one million Aegis of goods, the pension of two million Aegis, and the spiritual loss of two million Aegis. This is the bottom line of the New Holy Roman Empire."Jonas Le Ropeway

Five million Aegis is equivalent to 2.5 million pounds, equivalent to 18.3 tons of gold. This figure has exceeded the fiscal revenue of the Egyptian government, and it is strange to accept it.

Mehmet replied angrily: "It's impossible, you are extorting!"

What loss of goods is worth one million Aegis?This caravan is to transport some altars and jars, it is not worth a few dollars at all, and all commodities will not exceed 5,000 Aegis.

You have only died three people in total, and you need a pension of two million Aegis. This is just a joke, at most five hundred Aegis.

The loss of the Alikusi tribe is dozens of times that of yours. Should their pension be paid in your country?If our requirements are not high, we can just offset them.

Mental loss fees are even more nonsense.We are the ones who have obviously suffered losses. Even if it is a claim, the Egyptian government should claim it from your country!"

Jonas explained in a serious way: "Mr. McHamd, you are so ignorant.

The altars and jars of the caravan are precious antiques and relics, each of which is valuable.One million Aegis is the wholesale price, and it would be no problem to sell three or five million Aegis in scattered retail.

The three tragic dead are the best talents of the New Holy Roman Empire.If they do not have an accident, they may become great aristocrats in the future, so their families demand compensation from the government of your country in accordance with the aristocracy's worth.

Taking into account the mood of the victims, we believe that this reasonable request should be supported.

The wrongful acts of government officials in your country have deeply hurt the hearts of more than 50 million people of the New Holy Roman Empire, and the spiritual loss of two million Aegis, how much?"

Jonas's explanation made the British and French representatives shine. It seems that they are ready to learn excellent experience.

What are you afraid of?In this era, when the powers acted overseas, when did they make sense?

Maihamed was speechless and half-sent, so nonsense, how to talk about it?

Opponents can play rogue, but they can only reason.It must also be reasoned enough to gain the support of Britain and France in order to be able to check and balance the Austrians.

The French representative De Leseb persuaded: "Mr. Jonas, your country ’s demands are too high and far exceed the affordability of the Egyptian government."

The lion is too open, anyway, it is all negotiations, how can the price be lowered?But as soon as it comes up, it's the bottom line, how can we talk about it?

Jonas said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. If you don't have money, you can use customs duties, minerals, road rights or land to pay off the debt.

We are not here for money, we only need a fair result.The Egyptian government can discuss the exact payment of compensation."

Seeing the poor picture, Jonas is a businessman, and the diplomat is only part-time.When doing business in Egypt, the French mix the best and engage in the most industries; the British secondly get the right to build roads and are expanding their influence.

Austrian businessmen are more embarrassed, many industries cannot enter, and Austrian goods exported to Egypt are subject to heavy taxes.

Regardless of whether other people can bear it, Jonas, who has a painful skin, cannot tolerate it.He also wanted the privileges owned by the British and French merchants.

Of course, this must be based on the completion of the order of the Vienna government.

Mehmet snarled: "This is impossible, the Egyptian government will never accept your blackmail. You love walking or not, if you want to stay and eat sand, just stay!"

What a joke, I have to pay so much for a small oasis of no value. I really think the Egyptian government is bullying?

After hearing the words of Mehmet, Jonas was ecstatic, but still said blankly: "The Sinai Peninsula is not worth five million Aegis.

Your country must cut tariffs, abolish restrictions on the entry of Austrian goods into Egypt, and give equal treatment to Austrian businessmen in Egypt!"

I did n’t know that the fooled Mehmet thought that Jonas made a concession. After a moment of thought, he replied: "Mr. Jonas, your request is too much. Freely determine the tariff is our sovereignty. , Absolutely cannot give up. "

Mayham did not worry that Britain and France are also paying attention to Egypt's tariffs, and they dare not make any side on this issue.

Jonas frowned and said, "It's not too early now, let's calm down. The question of tariffs, we will discuss it tomorrow, even if other terms are passed?"

After negotiating for so long, it was the first time I saw Jonas asked for an adjournment. Despite some doubts, Mehamed still had no objection.

After leaving the conference room, Jonas immediately told the reporter sent by the Vienna government: "Will, organize the contents of today's meeting and pass it back to the Egyptian government to agree to cede the Sinai Peninsula."

Will's man frowned and said, "Mr. Jonas, the Egyptian government has not agreed to cede the Sinai Peninsula. Are you doing this to deceive the country?"

Jonas sneered: "How can it be deceit? Passing the content of the meeting back, according to the best understanding for us, isn't that the idiot of Mehmet to cede the Sinai Peninsula to us?

Don't be silly Will, international politics is so dark.As long as we choose to confirm what is good for us, we will ignore the terms that are not good for us.

Negotiations with these indigenous countries, ambiguous agreements, or memoranda, are the best ways to gain benefits.

Do n’t look at the French seemingly supporting the Egyptian government. When we proposed tariff cuts, the guy in De Leseb was also tempted.

In the face of interest, no one is a philanthropist.Without sufficient interest, they will not take the lead for the Egyptian government.

Now let us swear sovereignty on the Sinai peninsula, and later the Egyptian government will either choose war or continue to lie on the negotiating table.

This meeting minutes is just a hands-on excuse to make our food look as good as possible. In essence, this is aggression!"

Will nodded thoughtfully and did not create established facts. The Egyptian government would not sell the country by saying anything!The economic value of the Sinai Peninsula is low, but this is not a reason to sell the country?

Even though the Egyptian government was influenced by Western culture in this era, their enthusiasm for the land was not as high as that of future generations.The Egyptian government is also afraid of making concessions, triggering a chain reaction and being divided among European countries.

...

On June 26, 1855, the Austrian colonists raised the national flag of the New Holy Roman Empire on the Sinai Peninsula and swore sovereignty on the Sinai Peninsula.

After being strongly protested by the Egyptian government, Jonas directly used the meeting minutes as an excuse to complete a diplomatic blackmail.Finally, under the British and French mediation, the Vienna government agreed to pay 50,000 Aegis as a ransom for the Sinai Peninsula.

At the strong request of Britain and France, the Vienna government made concessions, promising not to continue to seek expansion in the Egyptian region, and immediately stopped colonial activities in the region.

On July 21, 1855, Jonas signed the "Sinai Peninsula Land Deal Treaty" on behalf of the New Holy Roman Empire and the Egyptian government. The following day, the British, French and Austrian countries signed the "Cairo Treaty", and Austria officially withdrew from the Egyptian colonial activities.

After winning the Sinai Peninsula, the tentacles of the Suez Canal became available, and the Vienna government was satisfied.

Just paying a worthless Sinai peninsula successfully excluded Austria from Egypt, and Britain and France were satisfied.

The only tragedy is the Egyptian government, which has lost a territory on the Sinai Peninsula.The land redemption payment of nominally 50000 Aegis was just a circle in their hands, and it was transferred to the colonial squad as compensation for the Alish incident.

This is also the bounty awarded by the Vienna government to the colonial squad as compensation for their risk of eating sand for half a year.As leaders of the colonial squad, Leo Haver and Andrea also won the honorary knighthood.

In general, the matter is over.
