Holy Roman Empire
Chapter 650
The Tsarist government is in action, and the Berlin government is not idle.Unlike the Russians who have a solid foundation and enough collateral, the Popo Federation will be much more forced.
Take a resource mortgage?
Sorry, the mineral resources in Pupo Federation are very limited, the most valuable are probably agricultural products from Poland.
Regrettably, the agricultural crisis has not completely passed, and the international agricultural product trading market is still in oversupply and is simply not valuable.
If it is just a matter of price, it is not impossible to discuss.Capital is profitable, and discounts are still negotiable.
The key is that security cannot be guaranteed. Once the Pupo Federation is defeated, it will be completely lost. The Russians will not admit these loans.
Resources cannot be mortgaged, so what about territories, taxes, railways, ports?
In theory, these things are collateralized, provided the bankers are willing to buy it.
The amount of funds involved is too large. Unless the consortium can be persuaded to take over, it will not work even with the support of governments.
There is no way, no one can be sure that the Federation of Popo will win the war.After losing the war, all promises made by the Berlin government are empty checks.
Unlike the Russian Empire, even if you lose the war, you can't die.Now the collateral provided by the Tsarist government, even if the Federation of Pope won the war, it is unable to occupy.
The Pupo Federation is different. Their family is limited, and once they are defeated, they are all compensated.
No one doubts the appetite of the Russians, even if they cannot swallow the Pupo Federation, they can still use it to pay off debts.The Vienna government has no interest in Poland, but its ambitions in the Prussian region are well known.
The slogan shouted for a long time, and the fake became true.Franz ’s Great German plan, after so many years of shouting, has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Except for a limited number of high-level government officials, the remaining Austrians are all striving to unify the German region.
The Berlin government cannot, nor dare to mortgage its own core territory.Otherwise, the Russian Junker nobles would have couped before the Russians fought.
Don't talk to them about the big picture. If the noble Junkers had the big picture, the original space-time Germany would not be so tragic.
In the Berlin Royal Palace, William I asked with expectation: "Are banks willing to take over?"
The best way for international loans and bond issuances this year is to get a bank consortium first and let the banks come forward to settle the government.
As long as the agreement is signed with the bank, it can basically be approved, which can save many political additional conditions.
Foreign Secretary Jeffrey Friedman: "As of now, only five banks have expressed interest.
These are small banks. If they want to gamble, even if it is negotiated, they will issue tens of millions of marks of bonds at most.It is far from our expected goal."
(1 mark about 0.358 grams of gold)
There is no shortage of gamblers in this world. Even if the outside world is generally not optimistic about the Poppo Federation, there are also people who dare to take business.
After a moment of silence, William I said slowly: "Contact the Jews! As long as they are willing to issue bonds for us or provide loans, they will support their independent statehood."
William I did not like Jews, but now he has to cooperate with Jews.Because of the anti-Semitic relations of the tsarist government, the Russian Jews were bloody slaughtered, and the relationship between the two sides was very bad.
The enemy of the enemy is the ally.In this era, Jews have no sense of security, especially after the outbreak of the Russian anti-Semitic movement. For their own safety, the Jews must fight back and let the world see their power.
During the Russo-Japanese War of the original time and space, the Japanese government was able to support it. In addition to the support of the British, the Jewish capital also made great efforts.
Foreign Secretary Jeffrey Friedman: "Your Majesty, this is probably not enough. The Jews are not anti-Russian, but Jewish capital pays more attention to practical interests.
It is only a part of ordinary Jews who advocate independence and founding a country, and its own voice is not high.Even if they are willing to cooperate with us, they will not be able to take on many bonds."
The voice of the Jews to build a nation was not high this year. The Jews scattered around the world were still scattered and did not unite.
Jewish capital has no concept of state and is only loyal to interests. It has been rejected by European society and the situation has not been very good.
Most Jewish capitalists are worried about the establishment of the Jewish state. They will be jealous of and even suppressed by the governments of their countries, and have always opposed the establishment of an independent state.
The anti-Semitic movement of the Tsarist government really shocked many people.It's a pity that it's useless. Most unlucky people are ordinary people. The capitalists rely on the power of capital to get the news early and run away.
"Hey!"
After a sigh, William I said helplessly: "Try it, raise as much money as possible. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is ready, I will visit Europe."
The reality is cruel, and even if he is not willing to, in order to raise enough war funding, he has to send it to the door to make people slaughter.
...
Prime Minister Mao Qi: "Your Majesty, I just received news that at 8:15 this morning, Marshal Albrecht von Ron passed away."
The house leak coincided with the continuous rain, and at the onset of the Russo-Prussian war, the military's police Tianzhu fell again.
Albrecht von Ron is the least well-known among the three Prussian masters, but his contribution to the Kingdom of Prussia is not at all low.
Merely leading the military reform and establishing a strong Prussian army is enough to make a name for history.
Ron has a pivotal position in the Prussian army, acting as a lubricant for the struggle for power between the military and the government.After the Russo-Prussian War, the Berlin government was able to steadily realize the overpower, and he made great contributions.
William I said in a deep voice: "Prepare for the National Funeral!"
As you can see, his mood is very bad now.As early as two months ago, Ron's was already in bed, and William I was ready.Now that it really happened, he is still hard to accept.
The anti-strike ability of politicians is powerful.William I soon came out of grief and began to consider the impact of Ron's death.
To balance the strength of the military and the government has never been a simple matter.After Ron passed away, he had to find a new successor to act as a lubricant.
This person is not a good candidate. He must have enough prestige in the army to convince everyone. At the same time, he must have keen political judgment.
William I first thought of Mao Qi, and quickly ruled it out.Mao Qi's prestige in the army is indeed enough, but unfortunately the political vision is really not good.
It is for this reason that Mao Qi was able to become prime minister.If you change to a politically powerful master who has influence in the army, William I dare not let him serve as prime minister.
Sovereignty and mutual power are also to be played against each other, and things that dominate the military are the same in the east and the west.The killing of heroes is not enough. If the people are too strong, checks and balances and suppression are indispensable.
After hesitating again and again, William I decided to stabilize first.The Puerta-Russian war was on the verge, and the Berlin government could no longer cause trouble, and no matter how big the problem was, it could only be said after the war.
He can't take care of the sequelae brought.Winning a war requires a solution; if you lose a war, you will be exiled overseas, and worrying will be in vain.
