Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 285 Debt Crisis

While threatening the Ottoman government, the African colonies also started to act.There is no need to relocate troops from the country. This time, we just established a stronghold in the coastal areas of Nigeria. The colonial troops are enough.

Not everyone knows that the Indian uprising will continue. In the eyes of many people, as long as the British react, they can easily put out the rebellion.

Under this guiding ideology, the government of Vienna is also squandering troubles, taking advantage of this opportunity to devour the meat first.

In this era, Africans had severe phobias, and the Austrian army quickly defeated several indigenous tribes and established immigration strongholds.

Colonel Nikos commanded: "Come on, fortify me, the enemy's counterattack is coming."

A young military officer asked in doubt: "Colonel, are you being so careful? Isn't it an indigenous kingdom, we went directly to destroy them soon?"

Colonel Nikos glared at him and said sternly: "Abat, put away your self-righteous arrogance. Any carelessness on the battlefield may cause fatal damage.

If you still want to stay in the army, you must always be vigilant. This is the basic quality of a soldier. If I ca n’t, I can send you back to China now.

Is it easy for African natives to deal with it, have n’t you heard of the tactics of the sea?This is the territory of the Kingdom of Tequl, they can gather tens of thousands of horses to fight back.

Don't think that they are all armed with big swords and spears. Someone sold them guns as early as a hundred years ago.Even if their weaponry is a little behind, that is not something you can despise."

Acting as a child of the nobility, Abate went to the colony for the sake of meritorious service. Naturally, it was impossible to go back so vainly.

Since the beginning of colonization in Austria, the battle of more than a thousand people has never been lost. Naturally, many people think that the African indigenous people are vulnerable.

Now that I heard that the enemy is powerful, instead of being scared, Abate was excited.

"Powerful" is only relatively speaking. Compared with indigenous tribes, indigenous kingdoms are naturally stronger, but compared with European countries, even the Principality of Montenegro is better than them.

Either picking up hot weapons or modernizing the army, it must also undergo rigorous training before it can exert its due combat power.

Not to mention, it is a recoil of a weapon alone. When a person without training shoots, the bullet does n’t know where to go.

Therefore, in the modern era, many army of the Uzbek people cracked on the battlefield. When the casualties were finally counted, only a few people died.

A large country like Austria can give each soldier hundreds of rounds of bullets to practice shooting. It is impossible for the African indigenous kingdom to be so arrogant.

Abate bowed his head and answered, "Yes, Colonel!"

...

Facts have proved that the Turkrule Kingdom is not a highly efficient kingdom, completely retaining their nature.It took more than a month for them to organize an army.

At this time, the junior fortifications of the colonial stronghold were completed.Colonel Nikos in the headquarters picked up the telescope and looked at the tumultuous enemy, sneering, "Trash, it will always be trash!"

Seeing the enemy camping, Nikos couldn't help admiring their courage, and dared to camp in the enemy's navy's fire coverage, he didn't know what to say.

Of course, the enemies of the Turkrule Kingdom are all African indigenous kingdoms, and they simply do n’t know how powerful naval artillery is. The distance they camped was determined based on past experience.

Not to mention the Navy, even heavy artillery in the Army can strike them.Nikos secretly regretted that he did not bring heavy artillery this time, otherwise he would not have to ask the Navy for help.

The battle between the army and the navy exists in any country, and Austria is no exception.Of course, this contradiction mainly revolves around military spending. It has not yet reached the point where the Japanese army and navy watch each other lively and underhand.

Nikos ordered: "Abbat went to inform the navy and asked them to send warships for target training. There was a group of fools who wanted to target them."

"Yes, Colonel!" Abate answered.

Nikos understood a little bit, why the colonists of 180 or so can defeat a country.It is entirely caused by ignorance, and the ignorant are fearless.

He has decided to attract as many enemy troops as possible.Anyway, the more enemies, the more brilliant his results will be.

It is a pity that the war effort against the indigenous peoples of Africa is not worth much, otherwise it will be famous for defeating thousands of enemy troops in a regiment.

Antalya

The representatives of Britain, France, Austria, and Ottoman have already met, and now everyone is negotiating the conflict between Austria and the Ottoman Empire.

Ottoman Foreign Minister Ade said solemnly: "We strongly protest the Austrian occupation of Crete, which violates the Vienna Treaty and violates our sovereignty."

The Austrian representative Johannes calmly replied: "Mr. Aard, please calm down. We did not occupy Crete, but we only borrowed it because an accident occurred in a warship that required repairs.

Rest assured, we will pay, and will not borrow your site in vain.

It is even more impossible to violate the Vienna Treaty. The Vienna Treaty maintains peace and stability in Europe. As the sponsor country, we will naturally abide by the treaty.

Now we are only talking about buying and selling, and we are not forcing you to cede these lands. How can it be regarded as a violation of the treaty?In the end, if you succeed or not, you have to wait until the talk is over. Why should you be so excited!"

British representative Nigel asked: "Since it is talking about buying and selling, and now the Ottoman Empire has rejected the deal, should your country withdraw from Crete?"

Johannes said in a hurry: "Of course, if the Ottoman government is not willing to accept this transaction, we will naturally not force it.

It is just now that two governments have appeared in the Ottoman Empire. The Sudanese government has lost its popular support. Whether they can represent the will of the Ottoman people is still unknown.

In a responsible manner, we believe that it is necessary to contact the Holy Land government. After understanding their positions, we will conduct formal negotiations."

Threats, this is a naked threat.If the transaction is not successful, the Vienna government will not recognize the legitimacy of the Sudanese government and will instead support the Holy Land government.

This hurt Zhang Ade. They finally suppressed the chaotic party and saw the dawn of victory.If the chaotic party has the support of Austria, who knows how long it will be in this civil war.

Ade's lack of confidence scolded: "Count Johannes, this is the internal affairs of the Ottoman Empire, you have no right to interfere!"

Johannes explained patiently: "Mr. Huard please rest assured that we will not take the liberty to intervene in your internal affairs.

It ’s just that your government ’s approach is very worrying. We talked about business with good intentions, and you refused to talk about it, completely ignoring the friendship between the two countries, which hurt our hearts."

Ade replied solemnly: "Your Excellency, the negotiation is based on the premise of mutual consent. It is not that we deliberately refused to negotiate with your country, but that we have no plan to sell the land now.

Johannes changed his face, and said indifferently: "Of course we will not force the transaction. Now please ask your country to repay our 28 million Aegis debts. We only accept gold and Aegis."

With a look of brutality, when did the Ottoman Empire owe so much money to the Austrians?

"Your Excellency, I want to know when this claim was made. As far as I know, our debt to your country does not exceed two million Aegis."

Johannes calmly took a document from the briefcase, handed it to Ade, and then said: "This is the debt details, you can send someone to verify."

A glance glanced, and Ade showed a bitter look, and he finally understood how these debts came.There is another kind of debt in the world, which is the transfer of claims.

Due to the financial difficulties of the Ottoman Empire, not long ago the Sudanese government declared the government bankrupt, and many of its debts were wiped out.

These unclaimable claims are naturally worthless.If the Vienna government wants to acquire these claims, the creditors will naturally not refuse.

The price of cabbage is also better than that of no return, and creditors who are unable to collect debts from the Ottoman government can only choose to endure pain and stop losses.

The Vienna government has this strength, and has already taken practical action.

Debt repayment is justified.

On this issue, neither Britain nor France can stop it. They are the largest creditors in the world. If the debts are owed, their losses will be great.

Although the Sudanese government did not rely on their accounts, they must also recognize that the Vienna government's debt collection is legal.

From this moment on, the conflict between the two parties is no longer a military conflict, but a door-to-door debt collection.

The representative of the United Kingdom Nigel proposed: "His Excellency, adjourn the meeting for a while! This debt needs to be verified, and Mr. Ader will make things clear before we talk about it."

Anyway, his purpose is to delay time, as to solve the problem?Sorry, the Austrian has been planning for so long, and it is too myth to make people give up with his three-inch tongue.Nigel doesn't have this confidence.

Johannes thought for a while and said, "Well, we will talk again after a week. Presumably for such a long time, it is enough for Mr. Ad to verify the authenticity of these debts.

However, it is better to verify Mr. Aard quickly. This overdue debt will incur huge late fees every day. The longer the delay, the more unfavorable to you."

Ade wiped the sweat on his forehead and answered with a trembling voice: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, we will verify this debt as soon as possible."

He did not think that these claims were false, and since all the Austrians got the negotiating table, there would certainly be no problem, and Johannes could not make a joke about the international reputation of the Vienna government.
