In the final analysis, any contradictions and disputes are caused by interests. The British government's jumping out and making trouble has indeed brought trouble to the negotiation.
However, this does not change the nature of the British people's mouth and mouth. They are supporting the Spanish government when they open their mouths and shut their mouths. When it comes to actual actions, it is all kinds of excuses to delay.
This is the inevitable result, and there is no problem with spiritual encouragement. But to come up with real money to support Spain, it would cost lives.
Since the Russians set a precedent for defaulting on their debts, Britain has not suffered fewer defaults in recent years.
Although the debtors at the back were not as bachelors as the Russians who directly defaulted on their debts, they really had no money, and the financial institutions in London were also helpless.
Either accept the debt extension, or accept the debt restructuring, anyway, the normal payment is not a thought. For these problem loans, it is God's blessing that the cost can be recovered. Don't even think about making money.
With the lessons learned, British capital has also learned to be smart. When lending internationally, it is prudent and cautious.
With Spain's current financial situation, it is obviously not eligible for debt issuance. Unless the British government is willing to tell the truth, otherwise no one will be in this muddy water at all.
Bold capitalists are worried about risk, not to mention the London government. The opposition party is not blind, and if they dare to give away Britain's money for nothing, that is to pass the handle to their competitors.
After more than half a year of negotiating tug-of-war, the Spanish government, which was in financial trouble, finally recognized the reality.
On June 6, 1898, Shinra Foreign Minister Wesenberg and the Spanish representative signed the Moroccan Sovereignty Transaction Agreement in Vienna.
With the signing of the treaty, another world record was born. In order to purchase the Moroccan area, the Vienna government gave a sky-high price of 180 million Aegis, which directly refreshed the historical record of the amount of land transactions.
You get what you pay for, and there is a reason why the Vienna government is willing to give such a high price. In addition to the fact that Morocco is really important, it is more important to deliberately show it to European countries.
Anyway, the Spanish government owes Shinra a lot of debt, and it is about to default on the debt, and now it is just offset.
After deducting the messy loans and the 180 million sky-high transaction contract, the cash that the Vienna government needs to take out is actually more than 10 million.
The Spaniards did not have the confidence to refuse. If it were not for the loan, the Vienna government would not have given such a sky-high price.
As for the issue of benefit distribution, it will be decided according to the actual situation after winning the Morocco region.
It is worth mentioning that Frederick rejected private donations. If they can't spend the money, it can only be considered that they are unlucky and have not caught up with the good era of throwing money to buy titles.
Since Franz's accession to the throne, the aristocratic management system has been gradually improved, and Austria has officially entered the era of military meritocracy.
In addition to military exploits, if you want to become a noble: either by reincarnating and inheriting the title passed down by your ancestors; or you have made significant contributions to the country and were awarded the title by the emperor.
With the improvement of the system, the effect of krypton gold has also been greatly weakened. Now the nobles of Shinra are either luck-type players or ability-type players.
The canonization of the title is decided by the emperor. Hundreds of thousands or millions will not enter the eyes of Franz, nor can Frederick be tempted.
The rules have long been established, and now they are just abiding, even if someone is dissatisfied, they can only hold back. If you want to share the benefits, then hurry up and copy the guy, maybe you can catch up.
This possibility is also very small. On the day the treaty was signed, a number of civilian armed forces launched an attack on Morocco, and Franz was taken aback by that efficiency.
Perhaps everyone knows that the opportunity to obtain a fief will be more and more difficult in the future, and they are unwilling to miss this wave of opportunities. Negotiations are still in progress, and some civilian armed forces are gathering in Algeria.
According to a report by the Algerian provincial government, by the time the war broke out, 200,000 people from all over the country had gathered there.
It is worth mentioning that the main force this time is not the emerging aristocrats in Africa, but mostly the old-fashioned aristocrats in China, and even some state monarchs have appeared.
It's right to think about it. To eat this wave of meat, you must lead the troops to wait in advance before the end of the negotiation.
This can be a high-risk business, and it is obviously impossible to have no wealth. If the negotiation breaks down, or drags on for two or three years, the average person's net worth will not be able to sustain it.
The emerging nobles can't even manage their own fiefs. Even if they want to send troops to join in the fun, they have no money in their pockets!
Those who have family background, strength, and urgent need for fiefs are mainly the nobles from North Germany.
Although they also participated in the colonial movement, their participation time and investment were obviously one step behind the nobles in the South German region.
One step at a time, one step at a time.
With the advancement of the localization process in Africa, the African feudal lords have an increasing right to speak in the politics of Shinra.
In this context, the South German aristocrats, who themselves have an advantage, have a higher right to speak in the empire.
No one wants to be marginalized, whether it is for political voice or for the development of the family, the nobles in the northern region urgently need to get more fiefs.
Driven by the sense of crisis, it is not surprising that there are several small state monarchs.
In name, the status of the Shinra states are equal, but in practice it is a different matter. In addition to the name of the state, many small states are actually municipalities.
For ordinary people, there is not much difference between a state and a municipality, and they are highly autonomous anyway, but it is different for the monarch of a state.
Now they still have one vote in the imperial parliament, but they don't have enough influence in the empire. Will they be able to keep that vote in the future
In the history of Shinra, even the electoral seat can be changed, and the seat of the Imperial Council can also be changed.
If you don't want to fall, you must strengthen your own strength. If the territory in Europe wants to expand, unless it is to copy the routine of the lower half of the castle, the marriage happens to meet the extinction of the in-laws.
That kind of probability is too low, not much greater than the odds of buying a lottery ticket, unless it's a lot of luck.
Rather than betting on such a small probability event, it is easier to expand. No matter how perfect the system is, it can't hide from the sophistication of human beings.
The same military merit falls on different people, and the final benefits are different.
With the vote in the Imperial Parliament, these state monarchs only need to spend some military exploits as tickets, and the rest can be done by insider trading.
Politics is an interest, and it is also a sophistication. The Holy Roman Empire was not only shot down with one knife and one shot, but also pulled up by the personal connections of the Habsburg dynasty.
On this issue, Franz sees very clearly. The emperor has never been easy, the principles that should be adhered to must be adhered to, and the things that can be smooth must also be smooth.
As a qualified monarch, you may not have a high IQ, but your emotional quotient must not be low. Otherwise, just by coordinating the relationship, people can collapse.
Frankly speaking, Franz is lacking in this regard. It's just that he was lucky and caught up with the last train of the feudal monarchy.
In the future, it will not work. With the development of the times, it is almost impossible for the monarch to make a single statement, and more often it is necessary to coordinate the relationship between all parties.
With so many people going to rob Morocco, it is obviously impossible to gain anything. What's more, the money to buy Morocco is still from the central government, and the land that is enfeoffed will also shrink.
Judging from the current situation, if there is no accident, the Vienna government probably has no chance to send troops.
How to distribute the interests of all parties has become a challenge. There is no doubt that this challenging work has become another big test for Frederick.
This is not the most difficult, and more troublesome is that the Vienna government is about to change. The original members of the government team are all in their 70s and 80s, and their work energy has long been unable to meet their needs.
Keeping them until now is not only because Franz is nostalgic, but more importantly, because of the alternation of power.
"One dynasty, one courtier" may be a bit of an absolute statement, but I have to admit that the ancients' words are very reasonable.
This situation in Europe, although not very obvious, but the impact is still there.
Looking at the battle for world hegemony, it is about to enter the final stage. Judging from the current strength comparison between the two sides, Shinra's odds of winning are as high as 90%.
It can be said that no matter who goes up, they can get a lot of prestige from it. With this political prestige, re-election is almost inevitable as long as the parties do not commit suicide.
When Franz was on the throne, the high prestige of the ministers below was naturally not a problem. Anyway, no matter how high he was, he couldn't surpass the old emperor.
Not on Frederick. If you look at the current government, you can see that the ministers below are all outstanding, and Frederick, the crown prince regent, must maintain enough respect when he encounters them.
There was no trouble. On the one hand, these people are old and do not want to continue to toss; on the other hand, Franz is still alive, and it is not their turn to be presumptuous.
The average life expectancy of these years is less than fifty years old. If there is a change of office, there will definitely be a group of young people, and it is obviously unrealistic to find the old and the eighty.
To put it in a bad way, if you meet a bunch of old guys, the emperor will not dare to speak too seriously. If you accidentally stimulate them and send one or more of them away, it will be a political disaster.
Shinra's political system determines that the frequency of changing governments cannot be too high. Cabinet officials in their 40s and 50s are almost 100% re-elected as long as they make achievements.
Although Franz is in good health, there is no guarantee that he will survive the new generation of high-level government officials.
In order to avoid the situation where the main and weak ministers are strong, Franz retained these old ministers and created this opportunity for Frederick.
The crown prince is fully regent, and naturally it also includes the appointment of cabinet officials. Personnel appointments are all handed over to Frederick, and if he can't even hold down the people he appoints, it's really unreasonable.
Just when Frederick was worried about the new leadership, the media all over Europe were grabbed the front page of this shocking land deal.
The economic press interprets it from the economic point of view, and talks about the economic value of winning the Morocco region to the Holy Roman Empire. For example, the ring railway will be re-planned again, which will benefit the infrastructure industry chain.
Military newspapers and magazines reported on Morocco's strategic position, what locked the western gate of the Mediterranean Sea, and what promoted the overall strategic layout...
Political newspapers and magazines focus on interpreting political values. For example, the strategy of a great power requires mutual benefit. This land transaction has created a new direction for resolving international conflicts through political cooperation...
The most eye-catching is the entertainment newspapers. The phrase "rebuilding the Roman Empire" overwhelmed all the hot spots and attracted the attention of the melon eaters all over Europe.
There is no such thing as a stick kill or a stick kill. At this stage, even if Shinra wants to hide, there is no big tree that can block his body.
Since it is not possible to keep a low profile, then simply keep a high profile. Anyway, the Moroccan region was bought back by the Vienna government at a high price, and it was not seized from Spain. There is no problem of hatred.
Just look at the origin of the crown of the Habsburg dynasty, which itself was inherited from the Roman Empire. In the European world, the Holy Roman Empire actually has another name - the "Second Roman Empire".
It's just that the "Second Roman Empire" had some water before, and its strength and title were seriously inconsistent. Even the people of Shinra were embarrassed to call it out.
With the development and growth of the Holy Roman Empire, the title of the Second Roman Empire has also been accepted by more and more European people.
The Moroccan land transaction case is just an opportunity, which just detonated a frenzy of public opinion and made the "Second Roman Empire" worthy of its name.
Franz had already returned to Vienna, and he, the emperor, did not want to toss, so the Vienna government naturally did not decide to hold a "celebration" without authorization.
However, the emperor controlled the government not to hold celebrations, but he could not control the spontaneous celebration of ordinary people. With the media fueling the flames, the entire Holy Roman Empire was immersed in a sea of joy.
Business opportunities are delivered to the door, and the capitalists will naturally not waste them. A variety of celebrations are constantly being staged in the Holy Roman Empire, and the atmosphere is warmer than Christmas.
…
Rows of tall and straight toon trees are neatly arranged on both sides, forming a unique landscape of forests and shades, which leads directly to the Russian Embassy in Vienna.
The laughter and laughter outside formed a stark contrast with the cold and quiet here, as if they were two worlds.
"Your Excellency Count, Vienna is really lively, why don't we go out for a walk together?"
Hearing this annoying voice, Minister Molos became more and more irritable. You must know that there is not only one heir to the Roman Empire, and the Russian Empire also has the Roman crown.
It's just that the tsarist government's method of obtaining the crown was somewhat shameful, so that it was not widely recognized by the European world.
Regardless of whether others admit it or not, the Russians do. Now that the Holy Roman Empire is the Second Rome, where does that put the Russian Empire
Dissatisfaction turned into dissatisfaction, and reason told Moros that the best thing to do now was to pretend to be deaf.
As for the controversial issue of the Second Rome, it is not a day or two. The heir recognized by mainstream European society has always been the Holy Roman Empire.
Of course, this "recognition" is also in quotation marks. In the past years, almost every European country has claimed to be the heir of Rome.
It's just that the Habsburg Dynasty inherited the crown of the Roman Empire, which is more orthodox than these heirs who have nothing.
Resisting the discomfort in his heart, Moros asked indifferently: "Sir Leandro, as the British envoy in Vienna, don't you need a job?"
It can be seen that he is in a very bad mood now. If it weren't for the professionalism of a diplomat, Moros would have gone into a frenzy now.
As an enemy, Molos knew exactly what the British envoy had in front of him.
When encountering a guy who wants to calculate himself, Molos will naturally not have a good face. If you didn't slap your face to drive people away, it would be very polite.
I saw Leandro smiled slightly, as if he didn't care about the ridicule just now, and replied without changing his face: "Of course it is necessary.
But don't you think that observing the customs of Vienna is also part of the work of a diplomat
Now that it is so lively outside, let's go out and have a deeper understanding, which is also a kind of help for future work. "
