Vol 5 Chapter 44: Can't hold it

The meeting continued, and the maid said to Ferdinand, "Your Majesty, the Queen's phone!"
Ferdinand nodded, then stood up and walked over, picked up the phone and asked, "What's the matter, dear?"
The other side, Xenia, said a little embarrassingly, "It's a bit of a private matter and I want to discuss it with you. Is it convenient for you to come back?"
Ferdinand was a little puzzled and asked, wondering, "What's the matter? Is it inconvenient to say on the phone?"
Queen Chenia said indifferently: "Hmm!"
Ferdinand was more puzzled, but he did not continue to question, and said directly: "If it is not urgent, I will return to the palace in five or six hours."
After hearing this, Queen Shenia seemed relieved and said, "Okay!"
Ferdinand once again turned his attention to the meeting, and the Queen of Senia on the other side began to worry again. The civil war in the Russian Empire has been fighting for almost four years, and no matter how thick the family is, it will not stand up what!
In order to raise funds, Nicholas II also tried everything. The treasury was empty as early as during the World War. It was not easy to win the war and obtain war compensation. As a result, in order to repay the debt, it had to be returned to Britain and France.
Borrowing is definitely non-existent. Britain and France want Russia to continue chaos. How can it provide him with a loan?
If it hadn't been for gains in the United States, the finances of the Nicholas II government would have collapsed now, and even if there were gains, it would not be long for more than 10 million pounds?
As a result of this war, the Russian Empire was already hurt, and taxes were already a foregone conclusion. In order to win the hearts of the people, Nicholas II did not dare to raise taxes.
Compared to the other two Russian governments, this is still good. The country has no money. The foundation of the Tsars is still very strong, and it has been supported by the use of family heritage.
It is still untenable. Since the independence of Nicholas I, the royal family of the Tsars has been greatly injured in the century, and many family members have voted in the past.
Here you can see the importance of good popularity. Nicholas II, who has always been superior, is not good in this regard. Coupled with his indecisive personality, many people are not optimistic about him and make such choices. Not surprising.
The situation has reached the current situation, and an armistice is impossible. On the battlefield, he can use one enemy and two. That's because he has strong financial resources and can support so many troops.
Now that I have no money, I have to find a way. Nicholas II had to lower his proud head and compromise with reality.
European aristocracy is a family, there is no problem with this statement, but when borrowing money, everyone is the brother to clear the account, Nicholas II can not take out the mortgage, it is not easy to borrow money!
This is not something that can be mortgaged. For example, Nicholas II can mortgage Siberia. But the question is whether anyone dares to either?
There is also the issue of national interests. There is no hope for European countries to unify them. Britain and France would prefer to give loans to two other governments that are more incapable of repayment, nor would they give them a loan, and also prevent European consortia from asking them loan!
As a last resort, Nicholas II turned to his sister Senna for help. Bulgaria's ten-year plan is naturally impossible to provide loans to the Russians, but the Bulgarian royal family is still very wealthy, even if it is on the bright side. That point is also under the top consortium in the world!
Senia is also in a dilemma now. If it is eight million, she can make it up, but the Russian civil war now shows that it is a bottomless pit, and Nicholas II opened it with 10 billion levs.
She also had to think about Nicholas II's repayment ability. Even her brother and sister could not help without a bottom line. How to speak with Ferdinand is also a problem!
...
Rolex Dodd still frantically said on the podium: "Now it is a scientific research budget with a total of 326 items and a total investment of 5.878 billion levs.
The first item, the research of transmission and transformation technology, is expected to invest 120 million levs; (about 4.8 million pounds)
The second item is the study of new elements of physics, which is expected to invest 80 million levs; (about 3.2 million pounds)
The third item, metallurgical technology research, is expected to invest 320 million levs; (approximately 1.28 million pounds)
The fourth item is the research on the internal combustion engine power system, with an estimated investment of 100 million levs;
The fifth item is the research of train braking system, with an estimated investment of 70 million levs;
The sixth item, research in the chemical industry, is expected to invest 60 million levs;
The seventh item, biological engineering research, is expected to invest 50 million levs;
The eighth item, 325 million levs for crude oil exploration and technological research;
... "
After reading more than three hundred contents in one breath, Rolex Todd had to stop and take a breath. He took the rose drink on the podium and took a sip. Then he asked again, "Please raise your hand if you have any questions!"
As a result, there was a silence on the field, and no one questioned it, which surprised him, but after thinking about it, it seems that it is really difficult to challenge these research funding!
Each field is related to the international people's livelihood. Although some technologies can also be researched by enterprises, the investment is still very stressful for individual enterprises.
It is okay to succeed. Once it fails, such losses are enough to hurt ordinary enterprises. There is no way this can only be borne by the government!
If the technical research is successful, you can authorize a number of companies to collect patent fees, and then invest this money to earn back. Of course, the failure is a fool.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, many technologies were mature compared to later generations. If you want to develop new technologies, most of them will be studied in detail in one aspect.
In this era, most science and technology are still being explored, and there are many related technologies involved in an industry.
Ordinary companies have the strength to research several of these technologies, but asking them to research hundreds or thousands of related technologies is very life-threatening!
Why did science and technology develop rapidly after World War II? That was all forced. Another Soviet Union was on the side. Will European and American consortia dare not invest a lot of money in scientific research?
During World War I and World War II, the progress of science and technology in the world over the past two decades has been quite limited. This is the issue of scientific research costs.
For example, a company has developed a new technology. In addition to collecting patent fees in its own country, it is difficult to obtain the full amount of international patent fees.
Others give more and less, it depends on your strength. Many times you can't receive overseas patent fees. In this age without internet, others just copied your technology, and you have no way to defend your rights!
The evidence will not be said. In the face of the leather bag company, your prosecution has no effect. Just throw a scapegoat and you will be blind!
During this period, the United States' scientific research technology has gradually caught up, and even the European countries are inevitable, just by looking at the market.
Many small European countries have the strength to develop new technologies, but their local markets are limited, and the total amount of scientific research funding they can afford is limited. Even if new technologies are developed beyond this limit, the investment is a loss. It is not surprising to travel far away from the United States.
Rolex Todd asked again: "Last time, raise your hand if you have questions!"
There is still no one questioning on the field, or everyone does not know how to question it. There is no doubt that these projects are in line with the actual needs of Bulgaria. There is no questioning. The investment of scientific research funds, except for professionals, Can't understand whether this is more or less?
"Okay, now that everyone has no doubt, this is the end of today's meeting. Please come here at 8:30 tomorrow morning and continue on time!"
After the matter is over, we will just adjourn the meeting directly. There is no unnecessary nonsense, and no leader will go up, and a lot of nonsense is crackled, which is also the characteristic of Bulgaria.
Ferdinand naturally got up and returned to the palace. He could not have come, but in order to show the world that he valued the "ten-year plan", Ferdinand chose to come and watch every day.
Use practical actions to tell domestic bureaucrats that he attaches great importance to this plan. If anyone dares to discount it, it will be unlucky!
At this moment, Queen Shenia was catching a few little young men and asking them to be their own staffers, how could you tell Ferdinand this question. If Ferdinand Jr. was not sent out by Ferdinand, he should be here now.
The naughty Prince Peter spoke first: "Dear mother, this question is very simple, there is no problem in asking my father to agree!"
Folded by Senia, she promised: "Peter, what can you do, tell me quickly, if it works, I can consider asking your father to give you a week off!"
Waiting for Peter to answer, Prince Caesar next to him was upset: "What about my mother and me?"
Senia didn't hesitate to say, "Don't mess up!"
After listening to Senia's promise, Peter said excitedly: "This is not easy, benefits! This depends on what price Nicolas Ken offered, as long as the price is appropriate, there is nothing to talk about!"
Little Caesar started to coax again: "Is Peter the solution? Are you asking me to talk to my father directly? Why do you want to coax?"
Xenia was staring at Peter with an angry look. The meaning was obvious. The co-authoring was flirting with me. If you could let them talk directly, why would you ask her?
Born in the royal family, even if the political sense of smell is no longer sensitive, she also knows that the current Bulgarian-Russian relations are not so simple. How to look at a weakened Russian empire is more in the interest of Bulgaria!
This is watching the lively Prince William, and he jumped out and said, "Dear mother, the international situation you know is a very complicated issue. I want my father to agree to this loan. impossible!"
Little Caesar seemed unwilling to fail, his eyes brightened, and he seemed to come up with a good idea. He said aloud, "In fact, there is no way out. As long as you go to have trouble with your father, maybe he will agree, of course if you add If we are a few, the success rate of this will be even higher!
Just to take the lead to state that my appearance fee is very high. If there are not enough benefits, I will stand with my father this time! "
Caesar's words were ridiculed by the brothers as soon as he finished speaking, and such an idea was also conceivable.
Xenia, who had just moved, immediately reacted. These guys were getting better, her face suddenly gloomy, and a few little guys stopped joking.
Prince Boris, who has not spoken, said, "Mother Mother, please be angry. What they said is actually quite reasonable. There is nothing difficult to say about this problem. You can tell your father directly.
But this is 10 billion levs after all. If he wants to agree to this loan, he must have sufficient benefits, at least he must take out a sufficient amount of collateral, otherwise we cannot afford such a large risk loan what! "
After thinking about it, Queen Shenia had to admit that these little guys made sense, that 10 billion levs is not a million. Even if everyone is a relative, it is impossible to take such a large risk?
This is only an economic risk. Political risks must also be considered. Without sufficient benefits, how could Ferdinand agree?
After thinking about it, Queen Shenia smiled and said, "Okay, let's pass you, let me pass you once, but some people's work is done? Don't wait for your father to come over and check it, it's not finished That's fun! "
Little Caesar glared at ~ EbookFREE.me ~ In his opinion, this was a naked threat. As soon as the problem was solved, his mother turned her face away from him!
The Peter next to him was not much better, and his grades were not much better. Of course, this is in accordance with Ferdinand's requirements. If it is placed outside, it will be far away from his peers!
The other little guys were about to laugh out loud, it seemed to be saying, we are all learners and fearless!
After a little revenge on a pair of mischievous queens, Queen Shenia was in a much better mood. She decided that this problem should be left to her brother Nicholas II to have a headache on her own. Anyway, the Russian Empire had a great career and took out Collateral should not be a problem!
