Vol 5 Chapter 139: See

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? Time has passed in a hurry. For the issue of debt distribution, the governments of the nine countries have been arguing for more than two months, but still no results came out.
Governments of various countries are standing on their own ground, and the proposals put forward are all sorts of strange, but few are reliable.
The debts of the previous year have not been repaid, and the debts of the next year will soon be due again. The patience of the creditors is gradually lost, and the attitudes of the representatives of the three countries of Britain, France and Bulgaria are getting tougher.
This time European countries stood together and drew money from them. During the tsarist government, they had issued bonds to the European continent many times.
Now, when it's time to pay the debt, all of them are creditors at a glance, regardless of the amount, this time they are to be repaid.
Although they don't owe money to governments, they owe money to the people, even if it is for votes, the government must act like a debt collection.
In history, the debts of these individuals were the first to be taken away, and they were unable to collect the debts anyway. This became one of the reasons why European countries collectively rejected the Russians.
During the time of Alexander III, the Russian Empire was completely accepted by European countries. After just over two decades, the tsarist government’s centuries of efforts were destroyed.
"Everyone, there is no way to continue the quarrel. After deliberations by the Executive Committee of the League of Nations and combining the requirements of all parties, we decided:
Based on the three factors of population, economy, and territorial area, conduct a comprehensive assessment and fairly distribute the debts borne by all parties! "The British Foreign Secretary Attlee said
Generally speaking, this distribution plan is no problem, taking into account the interests of all aspects, and focusing on suppressing West and Soviet Russia.
In terms of population, West Russia occupies nearly half; economically, West Russia occupies 60%; in terms of territorial area, West Russia occupies 17%.
The result is: 1/31/2+60%1/3+1/317%≈42%
Nicholas II still had to bear the largest proportion of debt, if it were not for Soviet ideological issues, he would have to bear at least half of the debt.
The Soviet Russian government followed closely behind, inheriting nearly 21% of the population, 15% of the economy, and 58% of the territory of the Russian Empire.
The sum is: 1/30.21+1/30.15+1/30.58≈31%
In the following East Russia, the situation will be much better. They inherited 22% of the population, 16% of the economy, and 20% of the territory of the Russian Empire.
The result is: 1/30.22+1/30.16+1/30.2≈19%
Except for these three main debtors, other countries are not worth mentioning. For example, Finland and Finland are allocated two points of debt.
This is calculated by the three countries of Britain, France and Belgium. They are all estimates, accuracy? It is a pity that in this era, a lot of things are estimated to be sufficient, and verification is simply impossible.
It is impossible for the League of Nations to help them measure the territory at this time, let alone do a census for them and study their economic development.
So as soon as this result comes out, big countries are complaining, and small countries are crying poor. Don't look at the small proportion of compensation for one or two points, but it can't hold up a high base?
With so many debts of the Russian Empire, even if part of the war reparations can be offset, the debts that need to be shared by them are still no less than 3 billion pounds.
For example, the two points in Finland are 60 million pounds, which is 21.42 pounds per capita.
On the surface, this debt is not high. If it is left in developed countries, it would be their three-month salary.
But in Finland at this time, it's different. This is almost two years of income for ordinary people.
This is how to do? At present, the annual fiscal revenue of the Finnish government is at most one million pounds. Even if the Finnish government wants to repay the money, this is their fiscal revenue for 60 years.
Once the interest-free loan expires and is converted into an interest-bearing loan, then they cannot even repay the interest. There is no way this God has come. No money means no money!
There is no doubt that the Grand Duchy of Finland has taken the lead in shamelessly, and it is still the kind that makes everyone helpless, asking for money is not dead.
"Unfortunately, it's not that we are unwilling to take on this debt. It is because our country is too poor. With our government's fiscal revenue, even interest cannot be paid.
If we are to bear this debt, please waive all interest. It is estimated that in two hundred years, we will almost pay it off! "Finland representative Paul said with a miserable look
Sure enough, he is a good actor, and he blocked everything that everyone wanted to say. People really have no money, and there is no industry in Finland that fascinates everyone, and it is impossible to get debts in kind!
The British Foreign Secretary Attlee, who was originally confident, is now also feeling thorny. This is a very real problem.
Due to the civil war, the economic conditions of the nine independent countries are now very bad, and almost all of the countries’ fiscal revenues cannot afford interest.
If they give up the interest completely and let them repay the loan freely, it is estimated that no one is so conscious. Maybe it is really like what the representative of Finland said, it will almost be paid off after two hundred years.
Obviously he was reluctant to account, but now he looks so pitiful and wins everyone's sympathy.
"How about this? Everyone will extend the loan period that has expired for some time, and wait until the economies of various countries recover, and then slowly repay it!" Medev proposed.
This very constructive opinion was immediately rejected by the French. Who told them to issue interest-free loans?
Don't look at Russia owing them the most money. In fact, the interest they can get is the least of the three countries. The loan of one billion pounds is only 10 million pounds a year, which is really pitiful low.
"No, the banks that provide these loans may not be able to accept them. Failure to repay the funds in time may cause a financial crisis!" French Foreign Minister Geoss said with a grim expression.
However, I glanced at the representatives of the Nine Nations, and it seemed that if it weren't for the order of the venue, they would have begun to sell badly now, and Geos was also a headache.
The account must be recovered, otherwise the domestic consortium will never let him go. Extending the loan period is indeed a good way, but does he say it counts?
"Should they let the nine countries carry out debt joint guarantees and jointly bear this debt?" Geos proposed
"If this is the case, it is estimated that we don't want to receive the money. The governments of various countries shirk each other, what should we do?" Metev asked rhetorically
"Would you like to reduce or forgive part of the debt?" Attlee suggested
"This question, I can't be the master!" Geos said
"Don't look at me, Bulgaria's loans are all secured, and the Russians can't repay the loans. We don't care!" Metev said with a slight smile
The two of them changed their faces and said that the mortgage actually has some collateral in their hands, but at this time, the people who mentioned the tariffs are all nonsense.
To enter the Russian Empire from the Black Sea, you must first pass through Bulgaria. Regardless of how the Russians collect tariffs, Bulgaria will collect them anyway.
The current Black Sea Strait is not a free port. It is the Bulgarian inland sea. Ships must pay taxes as soon as they enter.
With more taxes, the competitiveness of products will be less, and capitalists will no longer be interested in continuing to trade with the Russians. Russia has long been a private place for Bulgarian goods.
The customs duties that the Russians pledged to them, Britain and France actually did not get a few cents.
Bulgaria and Russia are symbolic tariffs. When Russians import and export, they will go around Bulgaria. Anyway, they will also follow the road. It is nothing more than stamping a few more stamps to avoid British and French customs supervisors.
Now Britain and France have a bit of tariff income except the Baltic Sea. Even the supervisors sent by the Black Sea have withdrawn. Each ship is one lev, and the tax received is not enough to pay the salary.
The remaining salt tax, tobacco tax, liquor tax, and messy mortgage taxation are even more embarrassing. Russian tax authorities are not ethical, and the figures are horribly low.
This situation began after the outbreak of the Russian Civil War, so it's okay not to mention the collateral, it is sad to mention it.
Attlee knew this problem, so they could only be the first bird. Bulgaria's attitude was very obvious and it didn't matter at all.
Even if the Russians can't get the loan, they will be even happier. How can they earn money by picking up a Ukraine for nothing?
As for the loan issue, the principal has been recovered seven or eighty-eight, and the remaining part can be exchanged for Ukraine. The Bulgarian government is willing to pay.
They can't do it. Now that the Russian Empire is divided into nine, those collaterals are even more unreliable. Can't they send people to collect taxes themselves?
"Why don't we accept the compensation in kind, and see what special products they have, what can we take!" Attlee thought for a while and said
"This is impossible. With such a large sum of money, the Russian industry is almost zero. Why do we need so many raw materials?" Geos objected.
The ordinary industrial raw materials of this era are worthless. Both Britain and France have their own colonial supplies. They don't need them at all.
"Then you can only let them repay in batches, give priority to repaying the bank loan, and use the excess to redeem the debt. The part that is not paid will be delayed!" Attlee said sinisterly
Obviously, he is giving priority to guaranteeing the interests of the consortium, and ordinary people holding bonds are equivalent to being abandoned.
"Then postpone the debts of the Russians, according to the previous interest, when they have money, and when they will pay it back!" Grace thought for a while and said
Medev just nodded and agreed. The governments of this era are the spokespersons of interest groups, and of course they must stand in the position of interest groups.
"Well, we have seriously considered the issue mentioned by Mr. Paul just now. Everyone knows the actual situation of the governments of various countries.
After we have discussed and decided, part of the debt can be extended. The specific rules will be determined below. In principle, we will draw 30% of your fiscal revenue every year to repay the debt! "Attlee said loudly
"Mr. Attlee, this ratio is too high. There is no country in the world that has a fiscal surplus of 30%. We cannot afford such a high financial ratio!
And we have a meaningful debt distribution ratio, which has exceeded the scope of debt we should bear, and also exceeded our ability to bear!
We must know that many loans of the former Russian Empire are secured. We can sell these collaterals and reduce our debt! "Vasilyevich said solemnly
"This ratio is our comprehensive consideration. You can keep your opinions if you have any opinions. As for you want to sell the collateral to reduce the debt, this issue can be done later. This is not a contradiction!" Attlee said with a gloomy face
have opinions? There will be people who have opinions about any kind of distribution plan. Now the distribution plan given by the League of Nations has taken into account the interests of all aspects as much as possible.
If you want to provoke a thorn, it is deliberately looking for troubles, not to give everyone the face, you must give a lesson.
It can be said that the representatives of the Soviet Union and Russia were wrong at the beginning. No matter whether they are British, French or Bulgarians, they do not think that everyone is equal.
The status between the great powers and ordinary countries is not equal, and once that line is crossed, they will suffer.
On the contrary, the Finnish representative’s approach is more acceptable, and he puts himself very low. Out of sympathy for the weak, everyone can give them a little preferential treatment.
Of course, this preferential treatment is mainly for political shows, not that they are really sympathetic, but the premise is that they cannot harm their interests.
Boris had been advised by Ferdinand. It was just the beginning of crying and selling in the League of Nations. In the back, the representatives of Finland and the media went crying and selling.
Only when the citizens of London are moved first can they be moved to the London government and let them hold their hands high.
After that, we have to travel around Europe to gain sympathy, and then everyone will be open.
This method, that is, small countries can use it, their debts are not much, and governments of various countries are still happy to do a show.
Then I took the opportunity to sell Finland's specialty paper and wood products to repay the debt. While repaying the debt, it also opened up the market for domestic products.
Even Paul, a diplomatic representative, is actually an actor, a talent that Boris dug from the Bulgarian film industry.
So at the beginning, Paul was memorizing lines, as long as he showed the misery of Finland.
There is no need for him to fall back on the bill, nor for him to come forward and fight with others. Just keep your posture lower and be more sincere.
The Grand Duchy of Finland must repay the debt, and it will not fall back on a penny. The only problem is that there is no money now, and it is really impossible to repay it.
This direct refusal is much smarter, at least the major creditors are very satisfied with the Finns' attitude and don't mean to make things difficult for them.
"Mr. Attlee, as far as I know, Russia and Russia have a secret agreement. If the Russian Empire has no money to repay its debts, it can sell the Ukrainian region to Bulgaria for 30 billion levs, including a mortgage loan of 10 billion levs. .
Although the Russian Empire is now disintegrated, the treaty is still valid. Our nine countries are all heirs to the Russian Empire. Now we have the right to sell the Ukrainian region.
Mr. Metiev, what I said is true! "Vasilyevich said with good reason
"Yes, Russia and Russia have a mortgage agreement on Ukraine." Metiev replied
This was originally an open secret, and many people knew it, so Medev naturally didn't need to lie. Besides, it is a good thing that you can buy in Ukraine!
Don’t look at the 30 billion lev, deducting the 10 billion lev of mortgage, and the Russians successively owing Bulgaria’s debts. In fact, only 10 billion levies need to be paid.
This is nothing more than the half-year fiscal revenue of the Bulgarian government. It is not difficult to raise this money.
Some people want to sell, but some don't want to sell it. From the standpoint of Nicholas II, even if he wants to sell land, he sells it himself?
How can it be sold on the League of Nations? Isn't that just a sheep's mouth?
"No, you are betraying the country. The Ukrainian region is our core interest, and it is definitely not divided!" Sasonov said angrily
"It's a pity, Mr. Sasonov, we are no longer from the same country. For me, this is not a traitor!
Everyone is the heir of the Russian Empire. We have the right to implement the treaty signed at the beginning. Now everyone can vote to decide whether to sell the Ukrainian region to repay the debt.
If you want to keep the Ukrainian region, as long as you take up the debt, it is not difficult! "Vasilyevich eagerly saw
Everyone understood that he had never thought of selling the Ukrainian region. This kind of persecution was nothing more than making West Russia bear a larger proportion of debt.
This time, apart from West Russia, the remaining seven countries are all occupied with them. Whether it is selling the Ukrainian region or allowing West Russia to take over the debt, it is very good for everyone.
40% of their debts can be repaid in one lump sum, and they don’t need to pay any price. Why not do it?
"Impossible. At the last meeting of the League of Nations, the Ukrainian region was clearly designated as the territory of West Russia~EbookFREE.me~You do not have this right to deal with our territory!" Sassonov roared
"However, before the split of the Russian Empire, the mortgage between Russia and Russia was signed by you, Sassonov, and approved by Nicholas II.
According to international law, this treaty is still valid, so it can continue to be implemented now. I propose a show of hands to vote! "The representative of East Russia suddenly said
As soon as the voice fell, eight hands were raised. At this time, everyone hopes to let West Russia take on more debts. Naturally, they have to jointly oppress them to agree.
But did Sasonov dare to give in?
This is obviously impossible. Ukraine cannot be lost, at least it cannot be lost in vain!
Similarly, this additional debt cannot be accepted. If it is accepted, their finances will go bankrupt and they will still have to sell the Ukrainian region to repay the debt.
At this time, Sassonov was a little regretful. If you know that there are so many countries that want independence, he should have sold Poland, Central Asia and other regions in the first place, and there will not be so much trouble.
"I suggest the first seminar, everyone calm down, and the next meeting starts, everyone will continue to negotiate!" Attlee said.
Obviously, not only West Russia does not want to lose Ukraine, but even the British do not want Bulgaria to gain Ukraine.
Now Attlee ended the meeting early, with the goal of buying time for the diplomatic activities of the British Empire.
Knowing that, Medev still did not object to it. At this time, Bulgaria should not be overly enthusiastic.
No matter what the British do, they cannot change the fact that the nine countries after independence are all poor. It is in their interest to force West Russia to assume debts.
Unless the British can come up with real money, this matter is not within their control!
