Chapter 650 Misfortunes Never Come Alone

The Tsarist government was in action, and the Berlin government was not idle either. Unlike the Russians who have a solid foundation and enough collateral, the Popo Federation will be much poorer.

Take resources as collateral?

Sorry, the mineral resources of the Commonwealth of Poles are very limited, and the most valuable ones are probably the agricultural products of the Polish region.

It is a pity that the agricultural crisis has not completely passed, and the international agricultural product trading market is still in excess of supply and is worthless at all.

If it's just a price issue, it's not negotiable. Capital seeks profit, and discounts are still negotiable.

The key is that the security cannot be guaranteed. Once the Pubo Federation is defeated, it will all be lost, and the Russians will not recognize these loans.

Resource mortgage is no good, so what about territory, taxation, railways, and ports?

In theory, these things have collateral value, provided the bankers are willing to buy them.

The amount of funds involved is too large, unless the consortium can be persuaded to take over, or even the support of various governments will not work.

No way, no one can be sure that the Popo Federation can win the war. Losing the war, all the promises of the Berlin government were empty promises.

Unlike the Russian Empire, even if the war is lost, the country cannot be destroyed. Now the tsarist government took out the collateral, even if the Commonwealth of Pubo won the war, it would not be able to occupy it.

The Pubo Federation is different. Their family assets are limited, and once they are defeated, they will all lose money.

No one doubts the appetite of the Russians, even if they can't swallow the Popo Federation, they can still use it to pay off their debts. The Vienna government had no interest in Poland, but its ambitions for the Prussian region were well known.

The slogan has been shouted for a long time, and the fake has become the real. Franz's Great Deutscher Plan, which has been shouted for so many years, has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

With the exception of a limited number of people at the top of the government, the rest of the Austrians fought to unify the German regions.

It is impossible for the Berlin government, and it does not dare to take its core territory as collateral. Otherwise, before the Russians came over, the Junkers aristocrats in the country would have made a coup first.

Don't talk to them about the overall situation. If the Junkers aristocrats had the overall concept, the original time and space Germany would not be so tragic.

In the Berlin Palace, William I asked expectantly, "Is there a bank willing to take over?"

The best way for international loans and bond issuance these years is to first secure a bank consortium, 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 a lot of political additional conditions.

Foreign Secretary Jeffrey Friedman: "So far, only five banks have expressed interest.

These are all small banks, and if they want to gamble, even if they are negotiated, they will issue bonds worth tens of millions of marks at most. It is far from our expected goal. "

(1 mark is about 0.358 grams of gold)

There will never be a shortage of gamblers in this world. Even if the outside world is generally not optimistic about the Popo Federation, there are still people who dare to take business.

After a moment of silence, William I slowly said, "Contact the Jews! As long as they are willing to issue bonds or provide loans for us, they will support their independent statehood."

William I disliked Jews, but now had to work with them. Because of the anti-Semitic relationship of the tsarist government, the Jewish people in Russia were bloody slaughtered, and the relationship between the two sides was very bad.

An enemy of an enemy is an ally. In this era, Jews have no sense of security. Especially after the outbreak of the anti-Semitic movement in Russia, Jews must fight back for their own safety and let the world see their strength.

In the Russo-Japanese War in the original time and space, the Japanese government was able to support it. In addition to the support of the British, Jewish capital also made great efforts.

Foreign Secretary Jeffrey Friedman: "Your Majesty, this is probably not enough. It is true that Jews are anti-Russian, but Jewish capital is more focused on practical interests.

Only a part of ordinary Jews advocated independence and founding a state, and their own right to speak was not high. Even if they were willing to work with us, they couldn't afford to take on many bonds. "

The voice of the Jewish people for the founding of the country is not high these days. The Jews scattered all over the world are still scattered and not united.

Jewish capital has no concept of a state, and is only loyal to its interests. It has been rejected by European society, and its situation has not been very good.

Most Jewish capitalists are worried about the establishment of a Jewish state, and they will be suspected or even suppressed by the government of the country where they are located, and they 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 of the unlucky people are ordinary people. Capitalists rely on the power of capital to receive the news early and run away.

"Hey!"

After sighing, William I said helplessly: "Try it, raise as much money as possible. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is ready, I want to visit Europe."

The reality is cruel. Even if you don't want to, in order to raise enough war funds, you have to send it to your door to be slaughtered.

...

Prime Minister Mooch: "Your Majesty, I just received the news that at 8:15 this morning, Marshal Albrecht von Rohen passed away."

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and at the moment when the Russian-Prussian war was about to break out, another military police pillar fell.

Albrecht von Rohn is the least well-known of the three Prussian heroes, but his contribution to the Kingdom of Prussia is not low at all.

Simply leading the reform of the military system and establishing a powerful Prussian army is enough to leave a mark in history.

Ron in the

The Ruthian army held a pivotal position and acted as a lubricant in the power struggle between the military and the government. After the Russo-Prussian War, the Berlin government was able to achieve a stable excess of power, and he took great credit.

William I said in a deep voice, "Prepare for a national mourning!"

It can be seen that he is in a very bad mood now. As early as two months ago, Ron's was already in bed, and William I was ready. Now that it really happened, he still couldn't accept it.

The anti-strike ability of politicians is strong. William I soon came out of his grief and began to consider the impact of Ron's death.

Balancing the power of the military and the government has never been an easy task. After Ron died, a new replacement had to be found to act as a lubricant.

This person is not easy to choose. He must have enough prestige in the army to convince everyone. At the same time, he must also have sharp 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 his political vision is really not good.

It is precisely for this reason that Mao Qi was able to become prime minister. If it were replaced by a master with super political ability and influence in the army, William I would not have dared him to be prime minister.

Sovereign power and prime ministerial power also have to compete with each other, and the matter of meritorious power is the same in the East and the West. It is not enough to kill the hero, if the ability of the subordinates is too strong, checks and balances and suppression are indispensable.

After hesitating again and again, William I decided to stabilize first. The Russian-Prussian war was imminent, and the Berlin government could no longer be in trouble, and no matter how big the problem was, it could only be discussed after the war.

He couldn't take care of the sequelae it brought. If you win the war, you need to solve it; if you lose the war, you are all in exile, and it is no use to worry about it.
