Chapter 85: Serbia of influence

　　 "The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest!"
　　 The economic crisis from 1890 to 1893, under the butterfly effect of Ferdinand, a commercial conspiracy against the Austro-Hungarian bank eventually triggered the Austro-Hungarian financial crisis.
　　History has begun to change. The United States and Germany, which suffered the most from the economic crisis, have now joined a hapless Austro-Hungarian Empire. The future direction of the world has become blurred.
　　Well, now the economic crisis is gestating in the United States, and it has not always erupted. The financial crisis of the Austro-Hungarian Empire broke out, shaking the entire Europe.
　　 The hegemony of the British Empire is still very stable, the contradictions between the powers have not yet intensified, and the two major military blocs have not yet been formally established.
　　For the sake of friendly relations and the common progress of human society, international capital has extended a helping hand to help the Austro-Hungarian Empire get rid of the economic crisis.
　　 Of course, the noble capitalists have paid so much for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and they have gained insignificant benefits, which is not worth mentioning.
　　 The Austro-Hungarian Empire is still very strong. At that time, it was listed as the five traditional European powers alongside Britain, France, Germany, and Russia, and it was also one of the five largest powers in the world.
　　Its vast land area, ranked third in Europe at the time, second only to the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire; its population is large, slightly inferior to Russia and the German Empire, and it ranks third in Europe.
　　In the field of heavy industry, the prosperity of the machinery and instrument manufacturing industry and the strong steel and munitions industry ranked fourth in the world, second only to Germany, Britain and the United States. The heavy artillery weapons produced by the Skoda Arsenal before the First World War ranked first in the world.
　　In the field of agriculture, the variety of agricultural products and the rich output have surpassed Russia and ranked first in Europe.
　　With such a big family background, the financial system of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is still struggling to persevere, waiting for international friends like Xiangferdinand to come and rescue.
　　 Affected by this financial crisis, it was the Balkans that suffered first. The Austro-Hungarian Empire is too busy to take care of itself, so naturally the boys can't take care of it.
　　 Since the Austro-Hungarian Bank announced that it would stop issuing loans, other financial institutions have followed suit. The small Balkan countries that are still waiting to be fed and waiting for the money to tide over the economic crisis are miserable.
　　 The economic crisis has not yet passed, and the financial crisis has come again. The first one was Serbia. As the younger brother of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, after the outbreak of the economic crisis, it was in trouble.
　　 was waiting for the Austrian-Hungarian loan to get out of trouble, and now suddenly said that it was gone and it was gone. Alexander, who was only 16 years old, was angry, and he didn't want to bully people so much. The contract was signed, the loan was half issued, and suddenly he said that it was gone.
　　 Then the flowers and plants in the palace were in a disaster, and they were ravaged by Alexander all over the place. After enough venting, an emergency meeting was called.

　　 "Austro-Hungary suddenly stopped our loans, you said, what should we do now?" Alexander Oblinovich said angrily
　　 "We want to lodge the most severe protest against the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this is completely ignoring our Serbia!" The Foreign Minister said with an angry look.
　　 "The Austro-Hungarian Empire has suddenly suffered an economic crisis, and it is now overwhelmingly self-sufficient. Protests will not be useful! We have been abandoned, and now I am afraid we have to make a living on our own!" The Chancellor of Finance said with a complicated expression.
　　 "How much money does the government have now?" Alexander asked sharply
　　 "A total of 213,218 dinars, these are not enough for the government to spend a month!" The chancellor thought for a while and said
　　 "Then your Ministry of Finance, what solutions do you have now?" Alexander asked expectantly
"In the short term, expenditures can only be reduced. From now on, all public officials in the government will stop paying half their salaries, the military will be temporarily expanded, military expenditures will be cut by two-thirds, and the subsequent taxation should last for three months! During this time , We will seek external loans again!" The Minister of Finance said confidently
　　 "No, I am against!" the War Minister shouted
　　 "Oh, what's the opinion of our Minister of War?" The Minister of Finance glanced contemptuously and said
　　 "Huh! The financial crisis is serious now, and the army is temporarily postponed to expand. This is acceptable; but why do you cut the military expenditure by two-thirds? Are you not afraid of the army's mutiny?" the war minister asked angrily
Hearing the mutiny, the chancellor's face changed slightly, and then quickly returned to normal with a sneer: "Mutain, are you a threat to me? Now in the financial crisis, everyone should be in the same boat and tide over the difficulties together. Can the army not Sacrifice for the country?"
　　 "Furthermore, according to the current number of troops, our Ministry of Finance has accurately calculated that even if the military expenditure is cut by two-thirds, it is still barely enough to pay the soldiers! Why are they mutiny? Is it someone~~"
　　 said that here the Minister of Finance stopped abruptly, staring at the Minister of War with strange eyes, as if to find something.
　　 "You don't want to spit people! Don't the army need training? Doesn't the equipment need to be updated? You idiot!" The Minister of War became a little hairy with the strange eyes of the Chancellor of Finance.
　　 "Idiot! Things are priorities, don't you know how to find an excuse to train soldiers with low consumption? Shouldn't the equipment update be delayed for a few days?" The Chancellor of Finance said contemptuously
　　 "You~you~~" The Minister of War was so angry that he couldn't speak
As soon as the Chancellor of Finance gave a triumphant smile, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Alexander said: "Enough, stop arguing! Now the situation in Serbia is in crisis. You must put the overall situation in mind, and don’t have to quarrel about everything. Non-stop!"
　　 "Humph!" The Minister of War let out a dissatisfied cold breath. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he also knew that Alexander, who had always advocated military expansion, was now obviously more inclined to the Chancellor of Finance, which made him very dissatisfied.
　　The Minister of War now wants to question everyone: What do you think the army is? If you want to cut military expenditure, you can cut it. Is this a trifle for national defense?
　　 In the end he gave up, he knew it was useless to say anything now. The government has no money, and even if he wears his lips, he cannot change the result.

　　 "Misfortunes never come singly, but fortunes come!"
　　 was about to end the meeting, an emergency call came and a bad news came: "The peasants in the Kralev region have rioted"!
　　 The evil consequences of blindly increasing taxes are here! After the outbreak of the economic crisis, due to the dumping of international capital, the prices of agricultural products in Serbia have plummeted.
　　The income of farmers has decreased, but taxes have increased. Overwhelmed, the angry farmers in Kralev decided to resist taxes!
　　 Then there was a fierce conflict with the tax officials of the Kralev region, and then the peasants rioted. The specific reason is unknown.
　　 Receiving this thunderbolt, Alexander said with emotion: "Oh, God, have you abandoned Serbia?"
　　 There is no doubt that the riots are suppressed! The cabinet quickly reached an agreement and immediately sent troops to suppress it. For a while, Serbia was raging and raging.
