Chapter 650: Misfortune

The Tsarist government is in action, and the Berlin government is not idle. Unlike the Russian family, which has a solid foundation and sufficient collateral, the Popo Federation will be much poorer.
Mortgage resources?
Sorry, the mineral resources of the Federation of Popo are very limited. The most valuable is probably the agricultural products in Poland.
It is regrettable that the agricultural crisis has not completely passed yet, and the international agricultural product trading market is still in oversupply, which is not worth it at all.
If it is only a matter of price, it is not impossible to negotiate. Capital is profitable, and discounts can still be negotiated.
The key is that security cannot be guaranteed. Once the Federation of Popo is defeated, all the water will be lost. The Russians will not recognize these loans.
Resources mortgage is not enough, so what about territory, taxes, railways, ports?
These things are theoretically mortgaged, provided that bankers are willing to buy them.
The amount of funds involved is too large, unless the consortium can be persuaded to take over, or else even the support of national governments will not work.
No one can be sure that the Federation of Popo will win the war. Lost in the war, all promises of the Berlin government were empty checks.
Unlike the Russian Empire, even if they lose the war, they will not die. The collateral that the Tsarist government now gives, even if the Pope Federation wins the war, is not capable of occupying it.
The Commonwealth Federation is not the same. They have a limited family base, and once they are defeated, they are all paid in.
No one doubts the appetite of the Russians, and even if they cannot swallow the Popo Federation, they can still pay it. The Vienna government is not interested in Poland, but it is well-known for its ambitions in Prussia.
The slogan was shouted for a long time, and the fake became real. Franz's grand German plan, after so many years of shouting, has long been popular.
Except for a limited number of high-level governments, the remaining Austrians are all striving to unify the German region.
The Berlin government is impossible and does not dare to mortgage its core territory. Otherwise, the Junker aristocracy in the country will have a coup before the Russians call.
Don't get into the big picture with them. If the Juncker nobles have a big picture, Germany would not have been so tragedy.
In the Berlin Palace, William I asked expectantly: "Are banks willing to take over?"
For international loans and bond issuance these years, the best way is to get the bank consortium first and let the bank come out to calm the government.
As long as an agreement is signed with the bank, approval can basically be obtained, and many political additional conditions can be saved.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeffrey Friedman: "So far, only five banks have shown interest.
These are small banks, and if they want to bet big, even if they are negotiated, they will issue tens of millions of marks of bonds at most. It is far from our expected goal. "
(1 mark is about 0.358 grams of gold)
There is never a shortage of gamblers in this world. Even if the outside world is generally not optimistic about the Popo Federation, there are also people who dare to take business.
After a moment of silence, William I slowly spoke: "Let's connect with the Jews! As long as they are willing to issue bonds for us or provide loans, they will support their independence."
William I did not like Jews, but now had to cooperate with Jews. Because of the anti-Semitic relationship of the Tsarist government, the Jews in Russia were subjected to slaughter, and the relationship between the two sides was very bad.
The enemy's enemies are allies. 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 security and let the world see their power.
During the Russo-Japanese War in spacetime, the Japanese government was able to support it. In addition to the support of the British, Jewish capital was also vigorous.
Foreign Minister Jeffrey Friedman: "Your Majesty, this may not be enough. Jews are not anti-Russia, but Jewish capital pays more attention to practical interests.
It is only a part of ordinary Jews who advocate independent nationhood, and their own right to speak is not high. Even if they are willing to cooperate with us, they are not able to take on many bonds. "
The call for the founding of the nation by the Jews has not been high this year. The Jews scattered around the world are still scattered and not united.
Jewish capital has no concept of state, but is 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. They will be jealous and even suppressed by their governments, and they have always opposed the establishment of an independent state.
The anti-Semitic movement of the Tsarist government really shocked many people. Unfortunately, it is useless. Most of the unlucky people are ordinary people. Capitalists rely on the power of capital to receive news and run away early.
"Hey!"
After sighing, William I said helplessly: "Try it out and raise as much money as possible. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is ready and I want to visit Europe."
The reality is cruel. Even if you are not willing anymore, in order to raise enough funds for the war, you have to be sent to the door to let people kill it.
...
Prime Minister Mochi: "Your Majesty, I just received the news. At 8:15 this morning, Marshal Albrecht von Ron died."
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and at the outset of the Prussian-Russian war, the military police Tianzhu fell one more.
Albrecht von Ron was the least well-known of the three Prussian kings, but his contribution to the Kingdom of Prussia was not low at all.
Simply leading the military reform and establishing a powerful Prussian army is enough to keep its history.
Ron has a pivotal position in the Prussian army, serving as a lubricant for the struggle for power between the military and the government. After the Prussian-Russian war, the Berlin government was able to achieve stable over-power, and he made great contributions.
William I said in a deep voice: "Prepare the nation!"
It seems 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. It really happened now and he still couldn't accept it.
The anti-strike ability of politicians is strong. William I quickly emerged from grief and began to consider the impact of Ron's death.
Balancing the forces of the military and the government has never been easier. After Ron's death, he must find a new successor to act as a lubricant.
This person is not a good candidate. It must have enough prestige in the army to convince everyone, and it must also have sharp political judgment.
William I first thought of Moody and was quickly ruled out. Mao Qi's prestige in the army is indeed enough, but unfortunately, his political vision is really good.
It is for this reason that Mao Qi was able to become Prime Minister. William I would not dare let him be prime minister if he changed to a politically powerful master who had influence in the army.
Monarchy and relative power are also to be played against each other. The thing that makes a great contribution to the earthquake is the same in east and west. It is not enough to kill the heroes. If the subordinates are too powerful, checks and balances and suppression are still indispensable.
After much hesitation, William I decided to stabilize first. As the Prussian-Russian war broke out, the Berlin government could no longer make trouble. No matter how big the problem was, it could only be said after the war.
The after-effects brought by him, he can no longer take care of them. Winning the war requires solving it; if you lose the war, you will be exiled overseas, and your worry will be useless.
