Chapter 1761: Fifteen. Aphrodite (6)

The large-scale riots in the city all have a common feature-extremely easy to get out of control.
Crowds of emotionally crowded people can easily get out of control. This is clear and it is easier for the military police of the crowd to react excessively when the number is not dominant. At this time, the scene is completely filled with gasoline inside and out, and then filled with a flammable gas gunpowder storehouse, an electric spark can create a big explosion, not to mention a cocktail incendiary bomb.
The various street protests in the Principality escalated rapidly under fierce interaction and developed all the way in an increasingly direction.
The military and police of the Principality have always been known for their toughness, and the Cossack cavalry is the honorary title of the "counter-revolutionary vanguard" overhead. But in the actual crackdown, these veterans of street sports are not as murderous as people think. Anyway, many of the military police are natives of St. Petersburg. Many people marching on the street are occupied by neighbors. The action is too heavy to damage the neighborhood. The family is isolated from the entire street. If it is serious, it will be a disaster. Family members (this is why modern-day military and police families who deal with internal affairs all have specific residential areas, and some directly open family areas in military camps, which are accompanied by education, entertainment, medical care, shopping and other facilities). Therefore, the military police in St. Petersburg are actually very decent in the process of suppression. Most of the time they are just bluffing, and occasionally they will find a guy who pulls out the blind eye to kill the chicken and the monkey. To say that the St. Petersburg military police are staining the blood of the masses every day, and are always happy to kill the innocent masses, most of them are hearsay, rumors, or else they have ulterior motives, deliberately rendering a terrorist atmosphere to intensify the situation.
But nothing is absolute. In a world that changes at a time, dynamic change is the norm. What's more, at the forefront of conflicts between various emotions, calculations, and unexpected situations, no one can guarantee that there will be no changes, and he will always be able to deal with the problems immediately without being kidnapped by emotions.
In fact, even if the St. Petersburg police unit and the Cossack cavalry battalion are old fritters, they did follow the usual methods of disposition at the beginning, and did not expand or intensify the situation as much as possible. However, the peaceful demonstration soon turned into smashing and burning with the appearance of bricks, iron bars and burning flasks, and then further developed into an attack on military police. Faced with sharpened iron bars and burning flasks, police and Cossack cavalry have suffered casualties. In order to protect injured colleagues who fell to the ground, and to protect themselves from being injured, after invalidating the rifle, facing the turbulent crowd, the military police who were dominated by fear and anger naturally flattened the muzzle pointing to the sky. Accurate the crowd...
"This is an unfortunate incident. My country deeply regrets this and strongly condemns the violence in the incident."
The ambassador of the Empire to the Principality, Count Joachim von Schulenburg, was serious in his official voice, and the opposite Stolypin almost couldn't hold back, pointing at the pointed ear and cursing the three-character scripture.
On the surface, the attitude of the empire is very formal, and it is a standard diplomatic decree. In fact, one can find out how to explain the Empire's speech. What is deep regret? What side do you regret deeply? To condemn violence, on which side do you condemn violence?
Obviously, the empire did not intend to intervene too much in the affairs of the Principality. These sharp ears themselves did not have a cold for the revolution. The spillover of the Principality’s revolution to the empire triggered the national uprising of the fourth-class citizens has been their nightmare. However, they did not plan to be wicked in the first place, supporting the Principality that was still creating a crisis for the new order. So they will come up with such a speechless statement, only to wait for the price to sell, and use the principality's current embarrassment to seek for their best interests at the right time.
The tone of the empire's handling is pragmatic. At another time, the Principality may also welcome this "non-interference policy." But the problem is that from all the signs, the turmoil within the Principality obviously has the shadow of the Imperial Intelligence Agency. Its purpose is to use the turmoil to oppress the Principality to follow suit, on a series of negotiations with Lapland, post-war loans, and foreign policy adjustments. Achieving the problem is in favor of the empire.
Going to other people's homes to stir up the flames and stir up the fire everywhere, just like the decent people here, issue a "concern statement". Who has ever seen such a straightforward and shameless person? Who has ever seen a cheeky face that doesn't blush when you say such things? Stolypin didn't jump up and strangled the sharp ear jerks in front of him, which is indeed a very good cultivation.
Leaving aside personal training and dignity, Stolypin can’t actually fight against Schulenburg, even a legal duel after legal procedures.
The Principality today is completely unable to bear the consequences of offending the empire.
This lord, who is generally regarded as the future prime minister, is known for his hard-line faction. Under his high-pressure policy, terrorism was once contained, and his name was used to ridicule the noose (Stolypin tie). However, his political views are exactly the same as those of Earl Witt, that is, "it is impossible to promote national development with a whip." This whip of tough policy has its limits. To completely eliminate turmoil, national development, economic growth and employment are the fundamental The solution. Only if there is enough food and clothing, the people will not go to the streets to rebelliously.
Everyone knows the truth, but the question is if it can be done, why should the Principality take advantage of the world to attack Lapland? Now that the military adventure has been lost, the Principality is even less likely to start industrial upgrading and a new round with its own power. The economy is circulating.
At this time, the empire’s political and economic support for the Principality is essential. If the empire’s loans cannot be obtained, even if there is a smooth truce with Lapland, the economic situation will still not be improved. Street violence will sooner or later become a real revolution. .
Faced with the wave of public anger, none of the big figures who once stood high could escape, and everyone would become a burial object of the old era. All nobles, including Stolypin, also included the family of His Majesty the Tsar.
"My country welcomes the position held by the empire."
Resisting swallowing flies, Stolypin said:
"Reluctance to see the violent riots continue to expand is the consensus of all monarchy countries. As a branch of the same family under the rule of the mother goddess, the two monarchs will rescue each other with brotherhood and guide their subjects and soldiers to protect religion, peace and justice, To ensure the sanctity of the monarchy and dictatorship is inviolable, and for all madness and attempts to subvert the monarchy, the two countries must fight against the power conferred by the mother goddess."
Stoly Ping said very plainly, the empire and the principality are both imperial countries, and any revolution aimed at overthrowing the monarchy is a threat to them. If the empire does not want to be involved in the wave of the revolutionary plague, it is the best policy to withdraw as soon as possible and provide substantial assistance to the principality.
"That's natural, any rebellious behavior is unforgivable, and our country's attitude has always been clear. His Majesty the Emperor has repeatedly expressed concerns about the current form of the Principality and personally ordered the drafting of a draft aid that can effectively help the Principality solve the current problems. The general framework of the draft has now been completed, and I hope to receive the cooperation and confirmation of the Principality."
As soon as Schulenburg had finished speaking, Stolypin breathed a sigh of relief.
The so-called "cooperation and confirmation" is actually a quotation. All the conditions are listed on the list to see if there are any problems and where to bargain. When the bargaining is over and the signature comes into effect, the current crisis can basically be over.
That's what it says, but this kind of contract that is taking advantage of the fire is generally quite harsh. It proposes an empire that is always known for shrewdness. After receiving the list from Schulenberg, Stolypin immediately carefully word by word. Upon review, I am afraid that I will miss a punctuation mark and cause great losses to the country.
Some unexpectedly by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the conditions given by the empire are not particularly harsh. In some places, it can even be called
loose~EbookFREE.me~
The empire agreed to provide a loan of 3 billion industrial marks with a repayment period of Twenty-five years, the annual interest rate is 1.5%, which basically belongs to the category of low-interest loans. For this purpose, the Principality shall use the mining rights, forest logging rights, railway and highway construction rights, and management rights as collateral for the Principality. At the same time, the use of each loan must be reported to the Imperial Ministry of Finance. The Imperial Ministry of Finance will review the Principality’s budget before releasing it. It is also stated that the Principality shall give priority to the use of the Imperial Industrial Mark when paying for foreign purchases.
Judging from the content of the text, this part is actually quite suspicion of losing power and humiliating the country. But from a purely commercial point of view, it cannot be blamed for the excessive behavior of the empire. Business lending is inherently accompanied by risks. Before lending, it provides banks with business plans, market expected returns, etc. It is normal for banks to assess whether they can lend. In addition, the target of lending is the Principality, and its bureaucratic system is corrupt, corruption and waste are serious, and the political turmoil is irrefutable. The risk is higher than that of ordinary countries. The various conditions imposed by the empire can only be regarded as normal business activities, but they are not particularly harsh.
What makes Stolypin a little confused is the part about political conditions.
The political section of the document clearly states that a series of unrest in the United Principality of Ross is its internal affairs. Based on the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, the Holy Gilmanian Empire does not comment on the disposal method of the Principality. On this basis, the dictatorship, monarchy, and sovereignty of the subjects, upholding the power given by the mother goddess, the sacred Gilmanian Empire is willing to provide professional equipment and training for the police and internal affairs departments of the United Principality of Ross, if the Principality If you are willing, you can apply, and the Empire is willing to send consultants for planning and guidance...
Faced with such a schizophrenic clause, the wily Finance Minister could not help showing a speechless expression.
