Holy Roman Empire

There is no doubt that the London government finally chose to compromise with the French, which is determined by interests.

The timing of the French selection is too good. If the London government does not compromise, the Paris government may turn around and trade with Austria.

Although the French also worried that Austria would become bigger after annexing the Ottoman Empire, and the possibility of making a deal with the Vienna government was very small, the London government did not dare to gamble.

If it really happened, it also means that the two countries have reached a strategic understanding, which is a disaster for the British.

While compromising, the London government also heightened its vigilance against the French.The Paris government in the internal battle can still put them together. If the internal battle is over, will it still be?

...

At the London conference, in the face of the joint pressure from Britain and France, Minister Humel was also somewhat tired to cope.

"For world peace, we can end this war, but the Ottoman Empire must return to occupy our land and be responsible for this war."

Austria conceded and many people were relieved.If it were really hard, things would be difficult.Intervention by force is easier said than done.

Let the European countries wave their flags and cry, let them fight for the Ottoman Empire, then forget it!Sometimes spitting stars can kill people, and politicians must think twice about their reputation.

The dull-looking minister Humer also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the scene was finally ending.In order not to reveal the flaws, he had to tighten his nerves every day.

Before the representatives of the Ottoman Empire spoke, Marquis McLean took the lead for them: "Thank you for your efforts for world peace. History will remember all this.

The war is cruel, and the boys fall every moment.For their safety, I propose to sign an armistice contract first and let the war stop first.We will talk about the remaining issues later."

From the standpoint of the British, it was enough to keep the Ottoman Empire.As for the issue of returning territories and holding war responsibility, that is a minor issue.

It is European practice that the defeated bear responsibility for the war.Although the request for territorial return is somewhat nonsense, it is not impossible to discuss, who let the Ottoman Empire lose?

In this era of weak meat and strong food, weakness is the original sin.Rather than tangle these issues, it is better to end the war earlier, which is more beneficial to the Ottoman Empire.

Minister Humel nodded: "No problem, but we only sign the armistice treaty for half a month. If there is no agreement within half a month, the war will continue."

From beginning to end, he did not ask the Russian representative's opinion.It is not Humer ’s dictatorship nor the deterioration of relations between the two countries.Mainly because the two countries had an agreement before the outbreak of the war, Austria was responsible for solving diplomatic issues.

The Russians have to participate, and that is when the armistice treaty is signed and when it comes to the distribution of benefits.Prior to this, the two countries must maintain diplomacy on the Near East issue.

Marquis McLean fought: "Half a month is too short. This war involves too many problems, it is better to stop the war for half a year!"

Minister Humel shook his head, giving the half-month period to exert pressure to force the Ottoman Empire to make greater concessions.

"Your Excellency, do n’t forget that war has a cost, and you have to pay a lot of money every day.

Based on the current calculation of the coalition's 336,000 troops, even if we do not launch an offensive, we will have to spend 586,000 aegis every day.

This cost needs to be borne by the Ottoman Empire. If the Ottoman government feels that it can afford it, we can also talk slowly."

There is no doubt that the number of troops is roughly correct, and the expenses are spoken by Minister Humel.If you do n’t attack, you need to spend 586,000 Aegis every day, and the quartermaster has long been investigated.

Although Austria is not poor, there are no local tyrants to this one.Without attacking, the main expenses are the cost of living of the soldiers and the pay.

The government of Vienna promised to provide supplies to the Russian army, but it did not say that it would send them military pay.The Austrian army in the Middle East does not require everyone to pay the military pay. The military pay of the cannon fodder is only a spoil.

The real military pay is tens of thousands of regular troops, including conscripts who only need to pay a small amount of combat subsidies. The conversion to the sky is only two or three thousand shields.

The cost of living is easier to calculate. More than 300,000 troops consume more than 200 tons of food per day. With some vegetables and meat products, 500 tons of supplies are enough. Even if the freight is increased, it will not be expensive.

Others can watch the excitement, but Ottoman Foreign Minister Albiac is not good. If calculated according to this figure, it is enough for the Ottoman Empire to lose his pants.

"Your Excellency, this figure is too exaggerated. Even if all soldiers eat steak every day, they will not spend so much money."

As soon as he finished speaking, Albiac realized that it was not good and was taken aside.In the negotiation, it is most forbidden to be led by opponents, which will fall into a passive state.

Hu Meier smiled slightly, and he said with a slogan: "Isn't it worried that the soldiers are not satisfied with the soil? All the materials, including drinking water, are shipped from the soldiers' hometown, so the cost is naturally a little higher.

Everyone rolled their eyes, and supplies were shipped from the soldiers' hometown.Not to mention soldiers, even officers do not have this treatment.

Moreover, with the traffic of this era, even if someone really did, the vegetables and fruits were rotten along the way.

The British Foreign Secretary Marquis McLean frowned and drew back the topic: "Your Excellency, the navy of your country has blocked the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Now that everyone's trade with the Ottoman Empire has stalled, can trade routes be restored during the truce?

The situation in Ottoman is very bad, especially the food problem is imminent, and human tragedies continue to happen every day."

"Removing the blockade" is the core of the problem. As for the issue of military expenditure, it is better to wait until the armistice is over.Whatever the Austrians ask for prices, anyway, the Ottoman Empire has no money.

Even if a sky-high compensation treaty is signed, one sentence of no money is enough.

The British were not prepared to pay for the Ottoman Empire. The Austrians wanted to get compensation from the poor Sudanese government, which was dreaming.

In contrast, lifting the blockade is much more important.Ottoman refugees are everywhere. If no supplies enter, who knows that the Sudanese government can persist for a few days?

Humel shook his head: "No, the coastline is blocked mainly for the safety of everyone. Now we have thrown a lot of mines around the Ottoman port, and there is no way to guarantee the safety of the ship.

If the Ottoman Empire is short of food or other materials, we can communicate with us, and we can sell a batch of agricultural products at a low price to them for emergency."

Let go of the blockade, isn't it a chance to restore the Ottoman Empire?The Sudanese government's human-sea tactics have not been carried forward. The biggest problem is the lack of weapons and equipment.

In the style of the British, opening an arms warehouse to sell a batch of old antiques to the Ottoman Empire, increasing the difficulty of negotiations, is almost inevitable.

Humer's promised sale of supplies at a low price is a joke.Buying supplies from the enemies at war is a big deal.

If nothing else, the Sudanese government is now short of arms. Is the Vienna government willing to sell?

Well, this question is really inaccurate.If the price is high enough, the Vienna government may also sell it.Who made the Russians fight hard in Asia Minor?

The Marquis Macleans did not get entangled in the issue of lifting the blockade. Although he could be sure that the Austrians did not throw mines everywhere, they would definitely hit the mine as long as the merchant ship passed.

This has already been tried by unbelievable capitalists. Except for a very few luck who have escaped the disaster and made a fortune, the rest went into the sea to feed the fish.

No one knows whether the mine is encountered.Anyway, the ship is destroyed, and how it is destroyed is not important.

After some bargaining, the armistice period was extended to one month.At the same time, Minister Humel also promised to sell 10,000 tons of food at a low price to the Ottoman Empire for relief, so as to avoid a humanitarian crisis.

This is a really low price, 10% lower than the international food price.Of course, the price of grain can be reduced, and the price of freight cannot be saved.

During the war, everyone risked their lives to transport food, how can freight be saved?If it does not increase dozens of times from the normal level, it will not meet the business rules.

...

Humel: "Our demands are not high, and the goal of launching this war is just to regain the hometown of Jerusalem.

As long as your country returns the Kingdom of Jerusalem and compensates us for the losses it has caused over the years, this war can be ended.

Calculated from 1517, up to now is a total of 357 years, according to the calculation of 1 million Aegis per year, a total of 357 million Aegis.

In these 357 years, at least more than 3 million people have died in the hands of your country. The pension is calculated at 600 Aegis per person, for a total of 180 million Aegis.

Before your country occupied Jerusalem, it was a fertile land, and now it has become a large desert, causing irreparable losses to the geographical environment. It needs ... "

When Humel said the conditions, everyone was dumbfounded.If you calculate compensation in this way, you can't afford to sell the Ottoman Empire.

Unsurprisingly, the last number that appeared was an astonishing 3.062 billion Aegis.Perhaps realizing that it was too much, Humel took the initiative to touch the odds and asked for only 3 billion Aegis for compensation.

Everyone knew that this was not for compensation, and the Ottoman Empire could not pay for it. The main purpose was to cut the land.Everyone was stunned by the amazing operation of Minister Humel.

Albiqi, Ottoman Foreign Minister, immediately retorted: "My Excellency, the account cannot be calculated like this. Jerusalem is not what we took from your country, and there is no so-called compensation between us."

Less than three hundred years after the crown of Jerusalem fell into the Habsburg dynasty, the Habsburg family has not ruled Jerusalem.Not to mention Austria, there is no so-called sovereign relationship between the two sides.
