Chapter 582: Stunned numbers

There is no doubt that the London government finally chose to compromise with the French, which is determined by interests.
The timing of the French candidate is too good. If the London government does not compromise, the Paris government may turn around and trade with Austria.
Although the French are also worried that Austria will grow bigger after the annexation of the Ottoman Empire and the possibility of dealing with the Vienna government is very small, the London government still dare not bet.
In case it really happens, it also means that France and Austria have reached a strategic understanding, which is a disaster for the British.
While compromising, the London government has also raised vigilance against the French. The Paris government in the fight can still put them together. If the fight is over, is it enough?
...
At the London peace conference, Facing the joint pressure from Britain and France, Minister Hummer was also a bit tired to cope.
"For world peace, we can end this war, but the Ottoman Empire must return and occupy our land and be responsible for the war."
Austria conceded, and many were relieved. If the hard top goes down, things will be difficult. Armed interference is easier said than done.
Let European countries shake their flags and cry. If they want to fight for the Ottoman Empire, then forget it! Sometimes Spitfire can kill people, and politicians must think twice about their reputations.
The gloomy Minister Humel also secretly relieved that the play was finally over. In order not to expose the flaws, he has to tighten his nerves every day, which is a difficult day.
Before the Ottoman delegates spoke, the Marquis Macleans decided for them: "Thank your Excellency for your efforts for world peace, and history will remember it all.
The war is cruel, and the boys fall every moment. For their safety, I propose to sign a truce first and let the war stop first. The remaining issues will be discussed later. "
From the standpoint of the British, it is enough to keep the Ottoman Empire. As for the issue of returning territories and being held accountable for war, they are all minor issues.
It is European practice for the defeated to bear responsibility for the war. Although the requirements for the return of territories are a bit nonsense, it is not impossible to discuss. Who has let the Ottoman Empire lose?
In this age of weak meat and strong food, weakness is the original sin. Rather than tangling these issues, it is better for the Ottoman Empire to end the war earlier.
Minister Hummer nodded: "No problem, but we only signed the truce for half a month. If no agreement is reached within half a month, the war will continue."
Throughout, he did not ask the Russian representative for his opinion. It is not the dictatorship of Hummer, nor is it the deterioration of relations between the two countries. Mainly, there was an agreement between the two countries before the outbreak of the war, and Austria was responsible for solving diplomatic issues.
The Russians want to participate, that is, after the signing of the armistice treaty, it involves the distribution of benefits. Before that, the two countries' diplomacy on the Near East must be consistent.
Marc Macleans fights: "Half a month is too short. This war involves too many problems. It is better to suspend the war for half a year!"
Minister Hummer shook his head, giving the half-month deadline to exert pressure to force the Ottoman Empire to make further concessions.
"My Excellency, don't forget that there are costs to war, and you have to pay huge amounts of money every day.
According to the current strength of the coalition's 336,000 troops, even if no offensive is launched, we will have to spend 586,000 Aegis daily.
This cost needs to be borne by the Ottoman Empire. If the Ottoman government feels it can be delayed, we can also talk slowly. "
There is no doubt that the number of troops is roughly correct, and the cost was utterly stated by Minister Hummer. If you do n’t attack, you will spend 58.6 million Aegis every day, the quartermaster would have been investigated.
Although Austria is not poor, there are no local tyrants here. Without attacking, the main cost is the cost of living and the army of the soldiers.
The Vienna government promised to provide supplies to the Russian army, but did not say they would send them troops. The Austrian army in the Middle East is not everyone's army. The cannon fodder army's army is just a trophy.
Only tens of thousands of regular troops are actually taken by the army, including compulsory soldiers who only need to pay a small amount of combat allowance, which is only two or three million Aegis converted into the sky.
It is easier to calculate the cost of living. More than 300,000 troops consume up to 200 tons of food per day. With some vegetables and meat products, 500 tons of supplies are enough. Even if the freight is added, it is not expensive.
Others can watch the excitement, but Ottoman Foreign Minister Albiacs can't. If this number is calculated, it will be enough for the Ottoman Empire to lose his pants.
"His Excellency, this figure is too exaggerated. Even if all soldiers eat steak every day, they can't spend so much money."
Immediately after speaking, Albiaci realized that it was not good and was taken aback. It is the most fearful of negotiators to hold their noses in negotiations, which will fall into a passive state.
Humeier smiled slightly, and Hukou said in a small mouth: "Isn't this worried about the soldiers being dissatisfied with the soil, all the supplies, including drinking water, are shipped from the soldiers' hometown, so the cost is naturally a little bit higher."
The crowd rolled their eyes and the supplies were transported from the soldier's hometown. Not to mention soldiers, even military officers are not treated like this.
Moreover, with the traffic of this era, even if someone really did, the vegetables and fruits were rotten halfway.
British Foreign Secretary Marquis frowned, drawing back to the topic: "Her Excellency, your navy has blocked the Eastern Mediterranean. Now that everyone's trade with the Ottoman Empire has stagnated, can you resume business during the truce?
The situation in Ottoman is very bad, especially the food issue is imminent, and human tragedies are being performed every day. "
"Unblocking the blockade" is at the core of the problem. As for the issue of military expenditure, it will be better to wait until after the truce. No matter how much the Austrians charge, the Ottoman Empire has no money anyway.
Even if a sky-high compensation treaty is signed, a sentence without money is enough.
The British were not prepared to pay for the Ottoman Empire, and the Austrians wanted to get compensation from the poor Sudanese government, which was financially impoverished, and that was dreaming.
In contrast, lifting the blockade is much more important. Ottoman refugees are all over the place. Who knows that the Sudanese government will be able to persist for a few days if no supplies enter?
Hummel shook his head: "No, the coastline is blocked mainly for the safety of everyone. Now we have put a lot of mines around the Ottoman Empire port, and there is no way to ensure the safety of ships.
If the Ottoman Empire lacks food or other supplies, we can communicate with us, and we can sell a batch of agricultural products to them for emergency. "
Is n’t lifting the blockade a chance to revive the Ottoman Empire? The maritime tactics of the Sudanese government have not been carried forward. The biggest problem is insufficient weapons and equipment.
In the style of the British, opening an arms warehouse to sell a batch of old antiques to the Ottoman Empire, increasing the difficulty of negotiations, will almost certainly happen.
It was a joke that Minister Humel promised to sell supplies at a low price. Buying supplies from the enemies at war is nothing short of overwhelming.
Besides, the Sudanese government is short of arms now. Will the Vienna government sell it?
Well, this question is really in doubt. If the price is high enough, the Vienna government may sell it. Who made the Russians fight hard in the Asia Minor Peninsula?
The Marquis of Macleans did not dwell deeply on the issue of lifting the blockade. Although he can be sure that the Austrians did not throw mines everywhere, as long as the merchant ships passed, they would definitely be mine.
This has been tried by unbelieving capitalists. Except for a few lucky ones to avoid a catastrophe and make a fortune, the rest went into the sea to feed the fish.
No one knows whether or not a mine is encountered. Anyway, it was the ship that destroyed the people, and it was not important how it was destroyed.
After some bargaining, the truce period was extended to one month. At the same time, Minister Hummer also promised to sell 10,000 tons of grain at a low price to the Ottoman relief, so as to avoid a humanitarian crisis.
This is really a low price, which is 10% lower than international food prices. Of course, the price of food can be reduced, and the price of freight cannot be saved.
During the war, everyone risked their lives to transport food. How could freight be saved? Without tens of times the normal level, it is not in line with business rules.

Hummel: "Our requirements are not high. The goal of this war is to regain Jerusalem.
As long as your country returns the Kingdom of Jerusalem and compensates us for the losses caused to us for so many years, this war can be ended.
Calculated from 1517, and up to now it is 357 years. Based on the calculation of 1 million Aegis per year, the total is 357 million Aegis.
In these 357 years, at least more than 3 million people have died in the hands of your country. The pension is calculated at 600 Aegis per person, which amounts to 180 million Aegis.
Before your country occupied Jerusalem, it was a fertile ground, and now it has become a large desert, which has caused irreparable losses to the geographical environment and needs ... "
When Hummer said the conditions, everyone was dumbfounded. Calculating compensation in this way can not afford to sell the Ottoman Empire.
Unsurprisingly, the last number that appeared was a staggering 3.062 billion Aegis. Perhaps realizing that it was a bit excessive, Hummel took the initiative and touched the odds, only asking for 3 billion Aegis compensation.
Everyone knows that this is not for compensation, nor can the Ottoman Empire pay for it. The main purpose is to cut land. Everyone was stunned by the amazing operation of Minister Hummer.
The Ottoman Foreign Minister Albiacs immediately countered: "Herald, the account cannot be counted like this. Jerusalem was not taken from your country, and there is no so-called liability between us."
The crown of Jerusalem fell into the Habsburg dynasty for less than three hundred years, and the Habsburg family never ruled Jerusalem. Not to mention Austria, there is no so-called sovereign relationship between the two sides.
