710 The Best Ally

After the news of the war in Warsaw ended, the whole of Europe was boiling.Newspapers publish this news one after another.

It must be known that the General Army had just created the “Warsaw Victory” not long ago. Uninformed people always thought that the General Army had the upper hand in the Warsaw region. Such an amazing turn is really unacceptable.

Especially for speculators who buy the Pupo Federal War Bonds, it is even harder to accept this cruel reality.

There have already been people protesting on the streets of London. The angry people on the stock exchanges are surrounded by three layers, the outer three, and I don't know how many layers there are in the middle.

"I've been cheated", it's natural to be fair.Only a small part of these people were bought from the beginning, and most of them were later picked up by Huyou on board.

After the general army hit the "Warsaw victory", the British media were optimistic that the Pobo Federation won the war, and even the war bonds issued by the Berlin government rose sharply.

Facts have proved that the capitalists are not easy to take advantage of, and if the Pupo Federation is about to win the war, how can they leave the field?

In addition to a few front-line staff, "Karmaka Securities", which is responsible for the issuance of Pupo federal bonds, corporate executives have not known where to go.

"Smash it!"

I do n’t know who shouted. The speculators who were stunned by anger broke through the security guard ’s interception and began venting heartily. The unlucky staff members left behind became scapegoats and were ravaged by everyone.

Fortunately, the stock exchange is a key defense area of ​​the London police. The brutality of the Kalmarga Securities Company was quickly stopped by the police who were queried.

This is just a microcosm. In the context of the departure of the capital crocodile, not only is the stock market hit hard, but the stock market is also hard to escape.

Undoubtedly, the banks that undertook Pupo ’s federal loans have become the hardest hit by this turmoil, and the stock price has plummeted.

Before the Pope Federation was defeated, London was already in chaos.The British government this year is still very capable of implementation. Prime Minister Benjamin held a press conference to appease the people.

The general meaning is: Do n’t worry about the creditors, the London government will find a way to protect the Berlin government, and everyone ’s bonds will not become waste paper.

If you want to do an in-depth interpretation, you can also understand that the creditor is still there, but now it is very poor, and you will know when you can repay the money.

Well, war bonds are definitely impossible to redeem immediately. The shortest time is also three to five years later, and it is normal after a long period of ten to twenty years.

By that time, the British government had already changed its term, and it was also a matter of the latter government to worry about it. Prime Minister Benjamin did not mind writing a blank check first.

However, the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs has accelerated the pace of action, constantly lobbying European countries to intervene in the Russian-Russian war. So far, there have been: Portugal, the Netherlands, and Belgium have joined the London government's armistice proposal.

...

Not long ago, the Austrian government also received an invitation from the Berlin government to mediate. Franz has been hesitating. With the end of the Warsaw battle, things can no longer be delayed.

"You can't wait like this anymore, the Russian-Russian war is coming to an end, we must take action, or the situation will be out of control," Foreign Minister Weisenberg suggested.

It ’s almost out of control. If the Tsarist government swallowed the Kingdom of Prussia, it would be difficult for them to spit it out.

Based on the current international situation, the Tsarist government is likely to use Austrian nationalism to use the territory of the Kingdom of Prussia to pay off debts and put the Vienna government on fire.

What is more tragic is that the Russians did this. The Vienna government not only had to swallow the bitter fruits, but also had to thank them, at least on the bright side.

What does the Kingdom of Prussia have now?

The answer is-debt!

Austria now accepts the Kingdom of Prussia. Not only can the money lent to the Russians not be recovered, but it can also make up for a sum of money from the Tsarist government.

Not only that, the Berlin government owed a huge amount of debt, and it was certainly unable to repay it after the war. Now that it has taken over the Kingdom of Prussia, it also means taking over a huge amount of debt.

In addition to debt, post-war economic reconstruction also requires a lot of money. There is no doubt that the Berlin government cannot afford it, and the central government must be in the bottom line.

This is only economical, with more political troubles.If diplomatic work is not done well, it will fall into the wrong direction.

Knowing that it is a mess, Austria is not the wrongdoer. Naturally, it is impossible to run this time to pick up the market.

Interference has become the best choice, as long as the Russians are not allowed to occupy the Kingdom of Prussia, these latter problems will naturally no longer exist.

No matter how much debt or difficulty, it is the responsibility of the Berlin government itself. It is really not enough to pay the debts. Anyway, there is no uniformity, and it will not affect Austria ’s credibility.

"It's still too early, the strength of the Pupo Federation still exists, and it must be consumed by the Russians, otherwise the future will be a big trouble." Felix said oppositely.

As the leader of Great Germanism, Prime Minister Felix has always put the reunification of Germany in the first place. The Kingdom of Prussia has strong military strength, which is obviously not conducive to national reunification.

Foreign Minister Weissenberg reminded: "Prime Minister, our first national policy is the localization of Africa, and reunification of the German region can only be ranked second.

So far, most of our African strategy has been completed. Except for Egypt, which is occupied by France, there is only one half-dead Ottoman Empire.

The top priority is to stabilize the European continent as soon as possible, establish a new international order, and look for opportunities to resolve the Ottoman Empire first."

There are actually many national policies in Austria, but they have changed over time, and now there are only two of them.

For example, the original Near East strategy, with the decline of the Ottoman Empire, directly became part of the African strategy.

This is also forced out. After the localization of Africa, the connection with the local has become a top priority.It is indeed very convenient to go by sea, but unfortunately there is no guarantee of security in the war years.

The advantages of the Royal Navy are too great for the Austrian Navy.Not to mention catching up with the British in a short time, even the French navy overwhelmed the Austrian navy.

Since it can't be done at sea, it can only be done on land.Most parts of the Middle East have fallen into the hands of Austria, and the Vienna government wanted to connect the homeland with Africa. The only obstacle in the center was French Egypt and the Ottoman Empire.

Meals must be eaten bit by bit, the French are not weak, and the Vienna government has no intention of playing the Egyptian idea for the time being, but the weak chicken of the Ottoman Empire is tragic.

Prime Minister Felix nodded and shook his head again: "Our core strategy is the integration of indigenous Africa, but this is not in conflict with the German unification plan.

To solve the Ottoman Empire, we have the opportunity. After the Russian-Russian War, the tsarist government will settle down for a long time and will not have the energy to compete with us in the Near East.

It can be said that within the next ten years, the hands of the Ottoman Empire will be led by us, and the Russians will not prevent us from extending the railway to the Suez Canal.

On the contrary, the Kingdom of Prussia is even more troublesome. We can't do it ourselves. Without solving them now, it will be difficult to find opportunities in the future."

The boss is not good, especially the boss who loves his own image.Even if there is a division in the German region, everyone still recognizes Austria's leadership. The core reason is that the Vienna government has been operating its own image for decades.

The good reputation that was finally created cannot be destroyed in the civil war.Especially for the emperor Franz, he would rather keep the German region from unifying or smashing his own signboard.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to find that the country was finally unified and the throne of his own family was gone.

There are many similar cases. Franz doesn't think that his descendants are all powerful and able to live in town.

Not wanting to pull hatred, then the best way is to make less blood bleed during the German reunification process, even if you really want to bleed, you must first find a scapegoat top tank.

In this respect, the Russians are really good allies of Austria.The rival Ottoman Empire in the south was laid down by Russia and Austria, and the ambitious Kingdom of Prussia in the north was being cleaned up by the tsarist government.

Every time there is a conflict of interest between Russia and Austria, as long as you think about the contribution of the tsarist government, Franz's mentality calmed down at once.

It doesn't matter whether money is money or not, mainly for the purpose of Russian-Austrian friendship.The last time the Tsarist government announced a debt default, the Austrian government did not go far.

Franz interrupted the quarrel between the two: "The mediation of the Russo-Prussian war can be slowed down first, and someone is sent to try the bottom line of the Tsarist government.

If they intend to take the Kingdom of Prussia into debt and want to put us on fire, they will immediately cooperate with the British to intervene in this war.

In addition, other situations are easy to discuss.A weak and even split Prussia is the best Prussia.

As long as it is not too much, we can assume that the tsarist government annexed part of the land of the Kingdom of Prussia, as long as it does not involve the German region, everything else is easy to discuss."

Thugs are required to play, let alone the Russians?Fortunately, they were struggling all the way, paying millions of soldiers for their casualties, hitting high debts, and always having some rewards.

In Franz's view, the Kingdom of Prussia has gone too smoothly in recent decades, and it has become oblivious to the fact that it wants to form a system and fight against the Austrian Chamber. This situation must be combated.

Without killing one hundred, what should I do with the German state afterwards?

For example, the eager Hanover Kingdom is not satisfied with the current German Federal Empire, relying on the support of the British, and secretly working on the so-called North and South German plans.

The Vienna government did not seek out their guts. It was because Hanover was still in the imagination stage. It planned to do a lot, but did not take substantial action.
