Judging from the warm atmosphere at the scene, Franz knew that this epoch-making military parade was a success.
As for whether some of these shocking scenes will bring psychological discomfort to some audiences, it is none of Franz's business.
Celebrations are meant to be lively and lively. Only more than 10,000 people participated in the military parade. Compared with the huge armed force of the entire Holy Roman Empire, it was less than 1%, which was enough to prove that Franz was very restrained.
If you really want to do something, organize tens of thousands of people to come to a real-force confrontation exercise, the deterrent effect will be even greater.
But that's enough. Before modern times, there were very few large-scale wars on the European continent.
Most of the battles in the historical records are blown out. Maybe it's not the ancients bragging, they just wrote history with bragging.
For example, in Herodotus's "History", it was recorded that 300 Greek soldiers defeated 5,283,220 Persian troops.
No problem, that's how it was recorded, three hundred people beat more than five million people.
As for how the war was fought and how it was unfolded, it is all in one stroke, and the whole story is about the bravery of the Greek soldiers.
Three hundred Spartan warriors were obviously not enough. If they were all replaced by Saint Seiyas, the decapitation might be a drama.
As a fellow Roman historian, Appian recorded in "History of Rome": "Caesar attacked Gaul and wiped out 4 million Gallic troops."
In Caesar's own book "The Gallic Wars", he claimed: "With the defeat of 430,000 Gallic troops, no one in Rome was killed."
What is the specific record, the age is too long, and Franz has been unable to find out. One thing is certain: there were absolutely no four million Gauls at that time.
Of course, these are far behind the history of the Indians.
It is recorded in "Makbharata" that the number of casualties of the Guang royal family in the First World War exceeded 1.6 billion, and the number of ordinary people killed in battle is how many, Franz can't remember anyway.
It really answers the sentence: "How big is the heart, how big is the world".
Compared with the achievements of the ancients, the Russian-Prussian War and the Anti-French War were all weak.
There is nothing wrong with the bragging way of writing. Perhaps the ancients were originally writing novels, which were mistaken for history by later generations.
But no one who looks at history dares to take it seriously. In fact, limited by the primitive economic model, most of the ancient wars in Europe stayed at the level of hundreds or thousands.
Using tens of thousands of people to fight is a proper battle. So this military exercise involving 10,000 people is scary enough.
After all, since the birth of many small countries, the highest-level battles they have participated in have been at the level of 10,000 people.
Even the British and Russian ministers who were foreign powers didn't look very natural when they left. Whether it was deliberately pretending or revealing the truth, no one will know.
In short, this military parade in the Holy Roman Empire is on fire. The video shot by the camera has now been edited into a movie, and it is on its way to be sent around the world.
In this era of lack of entertainment material, it is rare to have such a live-action documentary. Of course, it must be sent to the people all over the world to enjoy together.
…
How is the influence of the world, I can't see it for a while. Anyway, the arsenal of the Holy Roman Empire has been busy recently.
Aircraft, tank armor, and artillery have become best-sellers in the international arms market for a while, and have become in short supply.
What Franz never expected was that the largest military purchase order came from rival Britain.
Thinking about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. The economic crisis is coming to an end, the financial situation of various governments has not been completely reversed, and the rich and powerful are the British.
Whether you buy it back to support the scene, or throw it into the laboratory for dismantling research, you must buy it first.
There are not a few military-industrial enterprises in Britain, and there are also many enterprises interested in researching these equipments. Each family is divided into a few samples, which add up to more than 100.
Compared with the cost of a capital ship of millions of pounds, the price of tens of thousands of aircraft and tanks is really nothing.
…
The Spanish embassy, Junior, who has not left, is now in deep contemplation. The first batch of loans has been obtained, and if you have money in your pocket, you will naturally have to consider consumption.
Seeing countries looting planes and tanks, Junior was also very envious. The accompanying military representatives were chattering in his ear every day.
Greed is greedy, but Junior is a rational person. Will not blindly be influenced by the outside world and make random decisions.
Aircraft and tanks are good, but is this really what the Spanish army needs now
That’s all for an airplane. Anyway, they all fly in the sky, and they are used in a very wide range and are rarely limited by terrain.
Tank armor is different. The plain area is the king. Once you enter the mountains and hills, it will become bronze in seconds.
Spain is no longer the arrogant empire on which the sun never sets. The money in the hands of the government is borrowed from outside, and it will be repaid in the future.
It would be tragic if no money was saved, if the money ran out and the rebellion was not put down.
Junior didn't think that the Vienna government's money was really easy to get, and if it was spent, he could ask for it again.
Even if you are a little brother to others, you have to show your own value. It is obvious to everyone that the purpose of the Vienna government to support Spain is to act as a pawn to suppress France.
The prerequisite for support is that Spain can support it, and at the same time it must have a certain military strength.
What is the difference between Spain and Belgium, Switzerland, Sardinia and other small countries if the military strength has not been able to increase
It is not even comparable to these small countries, and Sardinia will not say it. Although Belgium and Switzerland are small, their military combat effectiveness is really not bad.
Combined, the two countries have almost 30 percent of the population of France. During the Anti-French War, another piece of meat was bitten from France.
Once the two countries develop, it is not a dream to reach one-third of France's national strength. After all, France has been suppressed by the European Union, and it is impossible to let go of its hands and feet to develop.
In theory, as long as Spain does not perform badly, it threatens France from behind, and a few Italian states help the field. So even if France is revived, it will be suppressed to death by the surrounding neighbors.
Without this troublemaker, the Holy Roman Empire would be free to challenge the British maritime supremacy.
This is a conspiracy. Knowing that the support of the Vienna government has ulterior motives, the Spanish government still has no choice, and even actively joins in.
For no other reason, Spain also wants a revival. However, resources and space are limited. Overlords have emerged on the European continent, and there is no room for two regional powerhouses in Western Europe.
Whether it is because of hatred or because of interests, Spain is bound to confront France. After the end of the European War, Spain became the vanguard of the suppression of France.
Despite the outbreak of colonial rebellion, Spain still had an "elite" force stationed in France. The fact that the Spanish government would rather recruit mercenaries than move this force is enough to illustrate the problem.
Junior: "What happened to the Jewish side, can the follow-up loan be guaranteed?"
No matter what kind of strategic plan, in the final analysis, it depends on "money". In order to get more money, Junior has lost his moral integrity.
Even though he knew there might be a problem with Jewish loans, Junior was happy to pretend to be confused for Aegis' sake.
Regardless of whether there is a problem with the source of Jewish loan funds, or whether there is a conspiracy in Jewish capital, it has nothing to do with the Spanish borrower.
What Junior signed was an ordinary commercial loan contract, and the bank's source of funds had nothing to do with him.
Even if something happened in the future, it wouldn't involve him. There is no law anywhere in the world where the borrower is responsible for the source of the bank's funds.
Minister Bullard: "The Jews are taking the contract with us and financing around. I secretly sent people to attend their seminar in Vienna, and the situation is not very optimistic.
The market has great doubts about our repayment ability. If it is not supported by high returns, I am afraid that there will be no investors involved at all.
Of course, the speeches of the Jews were really good. Even if investors are hesitant in their hearts, many people still invest tentatively.
In theory, as long as they don't donate and run away, there should be no problems with subsequent loans. After all, there are too many people who have money and no place to invest, and there will always be a few bold ones. "
"Legacy"
Do not!
Although the loan interest is a little higher, as long as it is able to repay, the Spanish government will not default.
National credibility is very valuable. If it is not forced, no government will deliberately default on its debts.
"Then secretly send people to watch, and don't take action for the time being. As long as the monthly loan can be allocated on time, we will cooperate with them first."
Junior wants creditors to be in trouble, but definitely not now. It's best to wait until they've taken all the loans before there's a thunderstorm.
Deep down in his heart, Junior still has an unscrupulous idea, that is: first collect information about the Jews, and after getting all the loans, he will report back and force these guys to run away.
Of course, this kind of thing is also very risky. Once it got out there, the Spanish government's reputation was bad, and no bank would dare to cooperate with them again.
"The world is as black as a crow" is not a joke. Few of the banks these days are completely clean.
The difference is only in the size of the problem. Once exposed to the sun, most banks will not be able to eat and walk away.
Ambassador Brad nodded: "No problem, I will send someone to watch them for a long time, and it will not cause trouble."
After a pause, Minister Brad asked: "Your Excellency Minister, have you thought about the issue of arms purchases?"
Whether it is suppressing the indigenous rebels in the Philippines or suppressing the Cuban independence movement, arms are indispensable.
Spain's industrialization is only halfway through, and its military production capacity can only be said to be "made." In theory, Spain can build itself, whether it is aircraft cannons or tanks and warships.
Being able to create does not mean being able to use it, these are two different concepts. Not to mention high-end goods such as aircraft, cannons, tanks and warships, and even ammunition production capacity is somewhat limited.
Not only is the production capacity insufficient, but more importantly, the cost is high. The production cost of its own is almost the same as the price in the international arms market, but the quality cannot keep up.
In order to change all this, the Spanish government has also made efforts.
After the end of the Anti-French War, France was prohibited from engaging in military production due to the restrictions of the Vienna Treaty.
The machinery and equipment for the production of weapons were directly confiscated by the anti-French alliance and became the spoils of war for everyone. They were either dismantled by various countries, or fireworks were displayed on the spot.
What is unexpected is that these seemingly precious mechanical equipment are actually tasteless.
Countries that have the ability to use these equipment have already completed industrialization and have their own industrial systems, and they do not need these things at all.
Countries that need these equipment are also limited by the industrial base and talents, and they cannot use the machinery and equipment they have obtained.
As a member of the victorious country, Spain also dismantled equipment from France. However, due to the lack of a supporting industrial system and industrial workers, it was simply unable to put into industrial production.
Obviously, the Spanish government bureaucrats are not the ones who can solve problems. So much so that these machinery and equipment are now lying in the warehouse waiting to rust.
The production line could not be started, and the ammunition was just one round less than one round, so that the magic equipment in the Spanish army soon became a fire stick.
While the Spanish government was considering whether to spend a lot of money to start the production line from the Frenchman, the Vienna government's weaponry assistance also came.
Don't want free things for nothing. Under the law of Zhenxiang, the Spanish army quickly abandoned the magic equipment and replaced it with arcane equipment that performed better on the battlefield.
As it turns out, there is never a free lunch in this world. Take advantage of the early stage, and now is the time to pay.
With the end of the Spanish-Japanese War, the era of free weapons and ammunition assistance also ended. In order to meet the needs of the war, the Spanish government had to purchase ammunition from the Holy Roman Empire.
Junior: "Our funds are limited, so we can only save a little bit of money. The purchase of ordinary weapons, armor and ammunition can be directly purchased according to the list prepared in advance.
The plane has only purchased twenty bombers for the time being, and the armored tanks are not very useful, and these things are not needed to deal with the rebels. "
Let the Minister of Foreign Affairs decide on arms procurement, Junior also has nothing to say. Is this out of "trust" or out of "trust"
There is no way, the Spanish bureaucracy is best at profiting. The following people are also not professionals, including the military representatives are all civilians.
Since everyone is a layman, it might be better to let the disciplined layman do the work. At least Junior, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, would not be so shallow as to receive a kickback from it.
