Vol 4 Chapter 97: Victor Keith

After knowing the specific situation, Victor Keith's good mood suddenly quieted down. Now the situation in the three kingdoms of the United Kingdom is not bad, but very bad!
Except for a group of refugees and a government in exile, there is nothing. Right, there is an army of more than 30,000 people. The morale is fair, but the combat effectiveness is unfortunate.
Mainly weapons and ammunition, food, and medicine are not lacking them. In this case, even Victor Keith wants to strengthen training!
Victor Keith asked incredulously: "Is there really no money in Ralph?"
Ralph smiled bitterly and said, "What do you think? Don't look at us grabbing a piece of money in the Ottoman Empire before, in fact, we have almost consumed it in the war!
Besides, what's going on with our tribal United Kingdom, are you still unclear? There are really a lot of territories in nominal terms. When did we actually occupy those real places? Have you received a cent? It is nothing more than an oath of sovereignty, which has been recognized by the Allies! "
Victor Keith asked again: "Can we loan to the Russians? Any mortgage can be used!"
"Forget it! The Russians' finances are not much better than ours. If it were not for British and French loans, their finances would have gone bankrupt!" Ralph didn't wait to answer, and Victor Keith vetoed it again.
Knowing the impossible is naturally unnecessary. At present, the citizens of the three kingdoms of the United Kingdom basically rely on the relief food distributed by the Russians. The Tsarist government is able to produce so much food, which is quite interesting. It would be out of place if we asked for it again.
After a moment of silence, Ralph said, "Maybe we can apply for a loan from the Allies, or our citizens will starve to death!"
Victorkis was startled, wondering, "What? Why are our citizens starving to death? Haven't the Russians already provided relief food?"
According to our prior agreement, the weekly ration of each person is 2800 grams of black bread, 300 grams of meat, 280 grams of butter, 950 grams of potato flour, and 1.4 liters of milk. These foods can already meet the basic needs of a person's survival. ? "
Ralph said with a bitter smile: "Yes, these foods exist in name. In fact, we don't even have one-tenth of what we get. The difference is that the Russians directly charge the turnips fed to the animals!
If you want to get the full amount of money, give it first! So our citizens are hungry now, waiting for your big president to solve the problem! "
Victor Keith's anger has been difficult to suppress. He didn't expect that the Russians did so much. Isn't this life-threatening?
"Did you not protest to the Russians?" Victorkis asked angrily
Ralph said coldly: "To tell you the truth, the Russian officer we could meet before you came was only a colonel. Do you find it useful to find him?
What is the situation in Russia now, don't you know? Don't you deceive yourself anymore? "
Victor Keith was silent, and it was almost inevitable that this happened due to the corrupt nature of the Tsarist Russian government! They don't even care about the lives of their own citizens, let alone these outsiders?
"In this case, then contact the major powers. No matter which country is willing to provide us with loans, it is acceptable, at least first let the nationals fill their stomachs!" Victor Keith reluctantly said, now he There is no longer any hope for the Russians.
After speaking, Victor Keith headed for the refugee camp and looked at it and then stopped. He doesn't know how to face these people now, they are still struggling on the line of life and death, but they live in a comfortable house, eating steak and drinking coffee!
At this moment Victor Keith hated politics so much that he even missed the days of fleeing, eating the same food as the people, and helping everyone out together.
After thinking about it, Victor Keith finally decided to find a way for these citizens who support him. For the first time, he broke the discipline and took the initiative to contact the country, indicating that the situation is awaiting judgment!
...
A middle-aged man came to Ferdinand and said blankly in front of him, "Your Majesty, Intelligence Officer No. 7 sent a call for help!"
Ferdinand was shocked. This "Seven" intelligence officer is not simple. It can be said that it is the best of all the intelligence personnel currently sent by Bulgaria. His outstanding performance has received many awards. If he now returns to China at least The position of a Viscount is indispensable!
"Speaking of Sim, what trouble did you encounter on the 7th?" Ferdinand asked with great concern.
There is no doubt that this middle-aged man named Sim is now one of the new heads of the Bulgarian intelligence organization. Naturally, his rights cannot be compared with those of the Fohu era. The current intelligence organization has been divided into three.
Sim said a little bit distressed: "His Majesty, there are about two million refugees in the Tribal United Kingdom in the Caucasus. They are now severely lacking in food. Hope 7 can provide us with the necessary humanitarian assistance!"
Obviously, this is more than what an intelligence officer should do. Ferdinand has no intention to make his subordinates become Our Lady! So he asked coldly, "Why? What reason does he intend to persuade us?"
Sim replied: "Seventh thinks that now that we provide humanitarian assistance to the tribal United Kingdom, we can buy people's hearts and lay the foundation for the future annexation of the tribal United Kingdom!"
Ferdinand shook his head and said, "Tell him that the reason is not sufficient. If the people of the tribal United Kingdom are gone, wouldn't it be easier for us to annex them?
Without more compelling reasons, we would not be able to pay such a large price for a group of unrelated people! "
Just kidding more than 2 million refugees, even if according to the basic food supply, how can each person consume 10 kilograms of rye per month, more than 2 million people is more than 20 million kilograms, which means that each month Consumption of more than 20,000 tons of food!
Now that the price of food on the European continent has risen to the sky, Ferdinand is not watering his head. Why should he take out so much valuable food for charity?
Moreover, even if Ferdinand is going to buy people's hearts, how can we consider the feelings of the Russians! Now that the tribal United Kingdom is the flesh of their mouths, can Bulgaria intervene?
In this respect, the two sides have reached a tacit understanding for a long time, and each other must not reach out to each other's sphere of influence. If the rules can be broken, the relationship between Bulgaria and Russia has long since broken.
"Yes!" Simm replied forcefully.
Ferdinand did not hold him accountable for the possible No. 7 intelligence officer who might be our mother. After all, the heroes have preferential treatment, and everyone has become a president!
Perhaps, it seems that the president of this government in exile is not of high value, but it is not certain in the future. After Bulgaria has completely occupied the Asia Minor Peninsula, the two sides will be bordered, and then his role will be reflected.
...
The three-ethnic coalition government is a big miscellaneous groceries. There are not only pro-Russian factions, but also pro-British, pro-French, pro-protectionist, and even pro-German factions, but because of the German-Ottoman alliance, The Germans failed to grow.
Among these major factions, the "neutral faction", headed by Victor Keith, has the strongest strength and advocates maintaining friendly relations with the major powers of the Allied Powers, but not relying entirely on any of them.
The second is the pro-Russian faction. When the interim government went into exile in the Caucasus, it began to grow rapidly, even surpassing the momentum of the neutral faction.
Then came the pro-protectionists, mainly composed of foreign students, deeply influenced by "The Rise of the Great Powers". They advocated learning the Bulgarian political system and realizing the counterattack of small countries.
Then came the pro-British and pro-French factions. Due to the geopolitical relationship, the influence of British and French in the Ottoman Empire was not great, and it was inevitable that this faction did not develop!
In addition, the three kingdoms of the United Kingdom were also temporarily formed under the persecution of the Ottomans. Because the establishment time is too short, everyone has little centripetal force, and most of them are maintained by the prestige of Victor Keith. Want to smooth the relationship-difficult!
Victor Keith was not frustrated this time without being able to get domestic help. He was also well prepared. It would still be possible to pass in peacetime, that is, millions of levs per month.
But now is the time of war, and European food production has fallen sharply, and no one knows how long this war will last. If it is not necessary, everyone will try not to use their own reserves.
In this context, it is almost impossible for Victor Keith to get food from the country. But it doesn't matter, the absence of food does not mean that there is no ruble!
Borrowing millions of roubles from Bulgarian banks is also a good option.
Commercial loans, as long as there is enough collateral ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Of course, there is no collateral in the hands of the three ethnic United Kingdom, but this is a small problem, it is not impossible to pre-sale some minerals!
Due to risk reasons, this price will naturally be very low. As long as the speed is fast enough, an agreement can be reached before the Russians respond, and the money can be obtained.
As for the follow-up issues, Victor Keith can't control that much. Anyway, he knows that as long as the Bulgarian government does not intervene, this loan will most likely be successful, and the bank will be able to settle the Russian government.
Will Ferdinand intervene? The answer is already obvious! Why don't you get the money you delivered? Even if the Russians annexed the tribal United Kingdom, it would not affect the execution of this loan?
As for worrying about whether the Russians would not recognize the agreement after annexing the United Kingdom? I'm thinking too much. If I can't solve this little trouble, why open a branch in Russia?
