Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 286

The sudden debt crisis hit the Sudanese government.Now that the creditor's right has been transferred to the Austrians, it is not so simple to pay the debts.

Repayment must also have money first. Obviously, after the Balkan peninsula was lost, the Sudanese government ’s finances were completely over.

The more than 28 million Aegis is about 14 million pounds, which is equivalent to 102.48 tons of gold. If you add a messy late payment fee, this number will increase.

There is no doubt that even if the pot is sold for iron, the Sudanese government can't make such a huge sum of money now.

Unless the Vienna government is willing to accept paper money, even the British and French cannot lend them so much gold to fill the hole.

Abdul Mejid I said with a sullen face: "The Austrians are blackmailing, we must not let their conspiracy succeed!"

Everyone lowered their heads one after another, reducing their sense of presence as much as possible, so as not to be affected by the pond fish.This is a lesson learned. For example, in the last government, half of the ministers lost their heads.

Do n’t look at later generations ’good evaluation of Abdul Meguid I ’s reforms. In essence, he was a feudal emperor. The responsibility for the failure of the Near East War and the loss of Constantinople fell on the last unlucky egg Then he was knocked down.

This is also one of the incentives for the outbreak of civil war. Facing such a monarch, it is not enough to be vigilant.This is a fine tradition of the Ottoman Empire, a savage that has been preserved from the ancestors.

Abdul Mejid's dissatisfied reprimand: "Why didn't you speak, did you not hear me? Zhang Ade, you are the foreign minister, tell me what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is going to do next?"

After being named, Zhang Ade knew that he would not be able to hide, and replied bitterly, "Your Majesty, the Austrians are prepared.

We have just received news that a large-scale rebellion broke out in India, and the energy of the British has been contained, unable to interfere with their actions in the short term.

The French seem to have reached a tacit agreement with the Vienna government, and Austria has given up its ambitions for Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia in exchange for their acquiescence to the Austrian's action."

It was indeed just news that the British informed him that gathering intelligence was too far for the Sudanese government.

Abdul Mejid I was speechless with a sigh of anger, and originally thought that with the support of Britain and France, he could toughly pretend to be forced, and the reality told him cruelly, and then pretended to be successful. Stupid.

Seemingly aware of the trouble, Ade quickly remedied: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The indigenous rebellion in India is just a group of people, and it will not take long for the British to settle the rebellion.

The London government will not watch the Austrians continue to expand their power, we just have to delay the time and wait for them to suppress the rebellion ... "

After he finished speaking, Abdul Meguid I interrupted: "Don't dream, as long as the Vienna government and the British reach a compromise, we will be sold.

The importance of India to the British is self-evident. What is the point of sacrificing our interests in order to prevent the Austrians from fooling around?

Open your eyes and look at the map of the world. Are the Russians far from India?Whether through Persia or Afghanistan, the Russians can support the chaotic party in India.

With regard to the relationship between Britain and Russia, what the tsarist government will do, as long as it is normal people know.

If the Austrians and the Russians stood together, the British would have suffered heavy losses even if they could suppress the rebellion.

On the issue of India, the British have no allies. If the French do not give them hind legs, even if they are friends, can they still count on the Paris government to support them?"

Everyone can see this question, but as a wise man, it must not be displayed in front of the emperor. This opportunity must be left to Abdul Mejid I to perform.

After giving a harsh criticism to his men, Abdul Mejid I was in a much better mood and began to think seriously about what to do next.

The goals of the Vienna government are already tasteless for the Sudanese government.Neither the series of islands nor Libya can bring value to the Sudanese government.

Economically, the rule of these areas is basically to protect the capital. If you encounter a good year with good weather, at most it will be a little rewarding.

Strategically, these islands are still very important, but unfortunately the Sudanese government cannot afford the navy.Without a strong navy, the so-called strategic value is a joke.

Ade asked uncertainly: "Your Majesty, do we continue to negotiate with the Austrians?"

Abdul Mejid I thought for a while and said, "Of course we have to continue the talk. Let's delay the time first. How long can we delay?"

It really can't be delayed, so we can preserve our interests as much as possible. Even if we want to sell it, we must strive to sell it at a good price.

At least it cannot be lower than the price of the Balkans. We do not recognize these claims, and the Austrians must be paid in cash!"

Adelaide replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Such self-contradictory decision-making is obviously not so easy to implement, or even impossible to implement, no matter how good the final decision is, it is impossible to satisfy Sudan.

Not wanting to lose the land, it was because of face, Abdul Mejid I did not want to bear the reputation of a traitor, not that he valued these lands.

At the same time, he wanted to sell some of the land in exchange for a sum of money to ease the government's financial crisis and suppress the chaotic party in China.

After all, Austria is only a disease of scabies, and the plot is only for the interests of the Ottoman Empire. If it is their lives, the domestic chaos is the one who really wants them.

St petersburg

After the tsarist government received the news of the Indian rebellion, the first reaction was the opportunity.

In any ambitious country in the world, there is no one who is not jealous of the British dominating India, not to mention the greedy bear.

After a long war, the Tsarist government also became cautious after a war in the Near East, and it was a bruise to lose money.

Their finances are not so good now. The newly occupied Balkan Peninsula territory has not yet emerged from the war. The wealthy Constantinople, which was originally expected to make up for the lack of finances, has now become a bubble.

The post-war reconstruction work continues, and it is impossible to return to the pre-war level in less than ten or twenty years.

Because of the war, the Tsarist government owed a lot of debt. Nicholas I still had to face it, and he could not do anything about the account.

This is the price of fighting for hegemony, and their international credibility would have been so bad. If they depend on it again, the results of their decades of hard work will be destroyed.

Without credibility, no one would follow them. Originally, the Tsarist government did not have a few younger brothers. If toss about it again, even the country that waved its flag would not be found.

Nikolai I asked, "The opportunity is here, what do you think we should do now?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Ali Stanley Rod said: "Your Majesty, if we want to seize India, we must first seize the Afghan region, otherwise it will be easily cut off by the enemy.

The strength of the British is not weak, and the indigenous Indians cannot be delayed for long.When we have raised funds and won the Afghan region, the British may have suppressed the rebellion long ago.

It is better to directly support the Indian rebellion and provide the rebels with weapons and military instructors to allow them to consume the strength of the British.

The population of India is as high as 300 million. As long as 1% of the population is mobilized, the British can only leave the area in vain."

This is the most cost-effective method. The tsarist government really does not lack weapons and equipment. It was bought and bought during the Near East War. Now that the disarmament is nourishing, the warehouse is almost full.

It is in their interest to transport all the wreckage in the warehouse to India to add chaos to the British, and it may be a big profit.

Foreign Minister Carl Worsell objected: "Duke Aresley Roderick is now the best opportunity to seize India.

We have already attracted the Persians. As long as we have attracted the Afghans, we will form a coalition to attack India. The British cannot stop it.

Missed this opportunity, and then want to seize the British of India, it is not so simple."

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Ali Stanley Rod, replied: "Marquis Karl-Osser, things are not that simple. Even if your Foreign Ministry can persuade the Afghans to stand with us, what about the war funding?

To seize India, the British will desperately work hard, and by then it will become a full-scale war between the two countries. The war funds to be consumed will be no less than that of the Near East War.

I just won the Near East War, and we can run mice in the warehouse of the Ministry of Finance. Where do you ask us to raise so much war funding?"

Foreign Minister Carl Worsell said, "This is a matter for your Ministry of Finance. Whether it is tax increase, war bond issuance, or international loan, there are many ways to raise money.

After seizing India, the world hegemony of the Russian Empire was established.At this critical juncture, I believe His Excellency Ares Stanley Rod will certainly be able to come up with a solution."

Arestanley Rhodes stared at Carl Worsell indifferently and said: "It is impossible, even if all methods are used, we cannot raise such a large sum of money in a short time! "

...

Nicholas I yelled angrily: "Enough is enough, both of you idiots shut up!"

How can he hide his eyes with such obvious singing?

Chancellor of the Exchequer Ali Stanley Rod said that there was no money, and the foreign minister Karl-Osser ’s method of raising money was ultimately the same: now that the country has no money, it ca n’t raise money. If you want to fight, you can resolve it Let ’s talk about the financial problems.

Nicholas I's thought of sending troops had just risen, and he was wiped out.The expedition of laborers to India is not so easy, lack of money is only one aspect, and logistics is also a big problem.
