Facts have proved that efficiency is forced out. Ordinary international conferences often fail to reach a consensus within ten days and a half.
The European Continental Economic Summit was different. Seeing the continuous waves of revolution, governments all over the world panicked. Continue to drag on, and no one knows how the situation will deteriorate.
The horrors left in 1848 still reverberate in the hearts of the rulers to this day. Although the revolution was finally extinguished, the impact was far-reaching.
In a sense, the current situation in Europe was created by the 1848 Revolution.
If the revolution had not taken away the Orleans dynasty, there would have been no Bonaparte's Great French Empire; if the revolution had not provided an opportunity for reform, the Habsburg dynasty would not have revived so quickly; if the revolution had not stimulated the flourishing of nationalism, God would have Luo will not be so easy to unify...
After a series of coincidences, the development of the international situation to this stage has become inevitable.
Revolution means reshuffling the distribution of interests, and those with vested interests are naturally reluctant to start over. Whether a reshuffle is good or bad for the country, no one will know until the shuffle is complete; but for the ruling class, it will be an absolute disaster.
In order to prevent the situation from worsening, the representatives of all countries attended the meeting with full sincerity. In just three days, countries have reached an agreement on the joint "rescue" issue.
On September 1, 1894, the European Union Economic Committee issued a bailout announcement, and the 18 countries of the European Union jointly invested 1.2 billion Aegis to revitalize the European economy.
According to the plan, the funds required by the economic revitalization plan will be allocated by the "jointly funded" countries according to their actual conditions. In other words: the country where the money is spent, the government of that country is responsible for paying the money.
It fully reflects the principle of fairness, taking into account the interests of all parties, no one can take advantage, and no one will suffer.
As for the source of funding required, it is natural to "print" banknotes. Franz still pays attention to his appearance, but this time he didn't cheat. Although the Aegis was issued by the Vienna government, the benefits brought by the issuance of additional currency were taken out and shared with other countries.
Whether it is an interest-free loan or material assistance, it is a form of compensation in disguise. The bigger the economic volume, the more you get, and the smaller the volume is, the smaller the compensation will naturally be. Matching it is: the risk should be borne by everyone.
At the same time that the European Continental Economic Revitalization Plan was passed, various countries have also linked their national currencies to Aegis. Franz's "European economic integration" strategy has finally taken a difficult first step.
The political impact of the "market rescue plan" could not be seen for a while, but the impact of the economic crisis began to ferment immediately. There is no accident, the first to be affected is the capital market.
The stock market has begun to climb slowly, and capital has quietly entered the market to start bottom-hunting. The stagnant market finally began to splash.
While the market is picking up, governments of various countries have also taken measures one after another, and the first large-scale government intervention in the economy in human history has begun.
At this time, no one will ever again accuse the government of not interfering in the economy. It is difficult for all walks of life, and the mouthpieces are also facing an unemployment crisis. The people are busy with their livelihoods, and they don't have the heart to listen to them.
Regardless of whether the government interferes in the market or not, at least there are jobs. Although the work is not so smooth, it is more important than anything at this time to have a job to support the family.
The most eye-catching is the three-year trip to Africa, with low requirements and high pay, as long as you are strong and able to do it, it is difficult to avoid attention.
Of course, this "high pay" is also relative. If before the economic crisis, this kind of treatment could only be considered ordinary in most countries, but now in the economic crisis period, it is the conscience of the company to get a salary of 60% to 30%.
In this context, it is definitely an enviable job to be able to get a salary of ordinary treatment in ordinary times, especially since the requirements of this job are very low.
The only regret is that the place of work is in Africa, and there is no accurate letter in which spot, and it is all God's blessing to be assigned where.
This little dilemma did not affect everyone's enthusiasm in the slightest. After all, people always have to eat. Although the government is also distributing relief food, the black stick is obviously more suitable as a weapon than food.
If it wasn't for being too hungry, no one would go to collect the terribly terrifying relief food. In this regard, bureaucrats are not useless, at least to ensure that the food can actually get into the hands of those who need it.
The European world is busy saving the city, and the Philippine war has also reached an inflection point. Originally, Japan and Spain were fighting for resilience, betting that the other side would not be able to hold on first.
The situation is different now. With the announcement of a joint bailout by 18 European countries, it is obviously unrealistic to expect a domestic economic collapse in Spain.
From their own standpoint, European countries will not let the situation in Spain get out of control now. After all, revolution is contagious. The revolutionary wave was finally quelled, and if Spain collapsed, it would be for nothing.
In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating again, now not only can Spain not collapse, but even the European Union in the Philippine War must intervene.
Otherwise, Spain's defeat in the war has stimulated domestic nationalists, triggering a chain reaction and causing the situation to get out of control. Who will be responsible
As for the interests of the Japanese, does it matter? A small country in the Far East that most people don't know about, just follow the arrangements; if they don't know the current affairs, the iron fist of imperialism will make them understand what social cruelty is.
Under the efforts of the Spanish government, on September 9, 1894, the European Union made a resolution to intervene in the Philippine War.
Frankly speaking, such a decision made at the economic summit is obviously out of time, and it is incoherent no matter how you look at it.
No way, who makes European countries take it seriously
An international conference dedicated to this
Sorry, everyone is so busy right now that I don't have time to worry about the feelings of the Japanese. Coupled with the influence of Spain's public relations, it is simply a matter of cutting through the mess.
Who made the Japanese unlucky and offended many people
Just a few years ago, when Nikolai was traveling around the world, he was assassinated by a Japanese entourage in Tokyo. Although he took his life, the two swords still cast a shadow on the young crown prince.
If it was just this, it would be fine, but the Japanese government was perfunctory and only sentenced to life imprisonment after catching the assassin. What's more ugly is still behind, the assassin with the title of "Patriot", apparently imprisoned, is not actually punished.
Affected by this, Japan-Russia relations directly dropped to freezing point. Not only did Crown Prince Nicholas want revenge, but even the most well-mannered Alexander III repeatedly clamored to give the Japanese "billion" some color.
If it weren't for Russia's financial disallowance, and Japan itself did not have much oil and water, the tsarist government would have sent troops to help the Spaniards.
Although no troops were sent, the tsarist government made it easy to allow the Spanish government to recruit mercenaries from the Russian Empire to fight.
Perhaps out of vigilance against the Russians, or perhaps for the benefit of the Bourbon dynasty, the Spanish government finally chose French mercenaries.
The Dutch are also unhappy with the Japanese. As a small country, the Netherlands can occupy the most prosperous island of Java in the South China Sea, relying on political skills.
The Japanese who didn't understand the rules suddenly broke in, breaking the political rules originally followed by European countries, and the Dutch South Seas suddenly became in jeopardy.
With no one to take the lead, the Dutch government could only make small moves in secret because of the British position. Now someone is taking the lead, and that has to be voted for.
In addition, Shinra, who had already stood in line, and Spain, which was fighting the Japanese, almost all of the countries in the European Continental Alliance participated.
Anyway, to interfere in the Philippine war, these few are enough. The rest of the countries want to contribute, but they have more than their hearts but their strengths are not enough. It is enough to follow the flag and shout to exert political pressure. Naturally, there is no reason to refuse.
Against this background, a sternly worded diplomatic note was handed over to Hidehisa Yamamoto, the Japanese minister in Vienna, in the name of the European Union.
…
"This is impossible!"
"You can't do this, it's not fair to the Empire of Japan!"
…
Although he received a lot of scorn in Europe, Hidehisa Yamamoto was the first to encounter such bullying.
There is no way, the staff of the European Continental Union are all stationed in various countries. After the Union made a decision, a staff member from Spain took the initiative to draft the note document.
The basic meaning did not change, but the tone and wording changed a little bit, completely rubbing the Japanese face to the ground.
For the sake of everyone's "Aegis", the officials in charge of the review did not mean to make things difficult, and directly ignored this little difference.
The "little difference" in the eyes of bystanders fell into the eyes of Hidehisa Yamamoto, and that was killing people.
The nonsense of the previous big truth can be ignored directly; the big hat accusing the illegal Japanese government of invading and destroying world peace can also be ignored first, after all, he has been scolded by the newspapers a lot, and Hidehisa Yamamoto is used to it.
The most unacceptable thing is that the European Union ordered the Japanese army to withdraw from the Philippine Islands within the year and hand over the war criminals for trial by an international tribunal established by the European Union.
Otherwise, the alliance will send troops to intervene in the Philippine war, and reserves the right to further hold the Japanese government accountable.
Such domineering and blatant mediation notes are rare in world history. Obviously, not in normal diplomatic activities.
However, this is not a problem for the Spanish government that has been pressed. If the Japanese government can be provoked and the situation escalated, it is estimated that the Madrid government's celebration banquet can be held for a month.
Perhaps the expression of Minister Hidehisa Yamamoto was too exaggerated, or perhaps the efforts of the Spaniards played a role, Dalton, who was in charge of submitting the note, interrupted: "Your Excellency Minister, calm down.
This is a common resolution of the 18 countries of the European Continental Union. You'd better pass it back to your country as soon as possible. If you have any questions in your country, you can raise them at a subsequent mediation session.
However, before the mediation meeting is officially held, please follow the contents of the note. Starting next month, the coalition will formally impose economic sanctions on your country.
All spheres of influence controlled by the alliance will temporarily suspend all trade with your country, and the waters of various countries are also restricted areas for your country's ships. "
If there are officials attending the meeting here, the question will immediately be raised. Did the alliance meeting say economic sanctions
There seems to be, but that was after the Japanese government refused. Now, this practice of sanctioning regardless of whether it is no matter what, is obviously the result of adding oil and vinegar.
It is a pity that these are not what Yamamoto Hidehisa can know. Even if they know it is useless, the Spaniards have done a good job in public relations, and the league will not accept their complaints. Right now, he can only pass back the contents of the note intact, and the rest of the matter depends on how the country chooses.
…
The question is does the Japanese government have a choice
Regardless of whether the content of the note has been revised, once it is submitted, it represents the position of the European Union.
Everyone wants face, and as the largest organization in the world, the European Union is no exception. The note that was sent out was taken back, that is, he punched himself in the face. The Japanese obviously did not have this amount.
What's more, what the Spaniards did seems to have tampered with the content of the note. In fact, it would not have been possible without the acquiescence of some people.
…
The Japanese government has not yet received the news, the British have already received the information first. The London government was stunned, and Robert Cecil never dreamed that someone would be so unscrupulous.
Originally, the European economic recovery plan was enough to stimulate, but I did not expect that there will be more stimulating "intervention plans" in the future.
On the surface, this is just a simple international cooperation between European countries in order to retain their domestic economy. The Japanese just suffered a disaster.
However, politics can never be seen on the surface. Today, the European Union can intervene in the Philippine war for the benefit of Spain; then tomorrow, the European Union can once again intervene in overseas affairs for the benefit of xxx countries.
Come so many times, and European countries will discover the benefits of the alliance. With the tiger skin of the Continental Union, even a small country can have the status of a great power overseas.
If things go on like this, driven by interests, this loose international organization will become a real alliance.
At that time, not to mention a small country like Japan, even Britain, the world hegemon, must stand aside when it encounters the union of the European world.
Prime Minister Robert Cecil, who thought he had an insight into the Vienna conspiracy, broke out in a cold sweat.
You must know that Britain's most lasting national policy is the continental balance strategy. Although it lost after the end of the European Continental War, the entire London government believes that this is only temporary.
Back then, Napoleon once swept across Europe, suppressing all kinds of dissatisfaction, and the back was not cool.
Many people in the British government, including Robert Cecil himself, are waiting for Shinra to make a mistake, ready to stab him at a critical moment.
However, the plan did not change quickly, and Shinra's wrath did not wait, and a freak called the European Union appeared first.
It was originally thought that there were many contradictions among European countries, and that this loose alliance would sooner or later be torn apart due to differences of interest. As the boss, Shinra, because he couldn't reconcile the contradictions between the parties, he ended up being a person inside and out.
It is a pity that an economic crisis of unprecedented scale has shattered all these illusions. In order to save themselves, European countries had to temporarily abandon their contradictions and join forces to overcome the crisis.
As a master who always pursues interests first, Robert Cecil is very clear that as long as the interests are large enough, there will be no contradictions that cannot be reconciled.
Once countries have realized the benefits of union, it will be difficult to dismantle the European Union. With such a freak out there, how can Britain live
With a violent slap on the table, Robert Cecil said fiercely: "The European Continental Alliance must be disintegrated! From now on, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will focus on only one thing - provoking conflicts between European countries and dismantling the European Continental Alliance.
I don't care what you do or where you start. In short, a freak like the Continental Union must not exist in this world. "
"Disintegrate the European Union at all costs." This was the only thought in Robert Cecil's mind at this moment. As for Japan as a party, it is no longer in his consideration.
