Chapter 650： Misfortune (1/2)
The Tsarist government is in action, and the Berlin government is not idle. Unlike the Russian family, which has a solid foundation and sufficient collateral, the Popo Federation will be much poorer.
Mortgage resources?
Sorry, the mineral resources of the Federation of Popo are very limited. The most valuable is probably the agricultural products in Poland.
It is regrettable that the agricultural crisis has not completely passed yet, and the international agricultural product trading market is still in oversupply, which is not worth it at all.
If it is only a matter of price, it is not impossible to negotiate. Capital is profitable, and discounts can still be negotiated.
The key is that security cannot be guaranteed. Once the Federation of Popo is defeated, all the water will be lost. The Russians will not recognize these loans.
Resources mortgage is not enough, so what about territory, taxes, railways, ports?
These things are theoretically mortgaged, provided that bankers are willing to buy them.
The amount of funds involved is too large, unless the consortium can be persuaded to take over, or else even the support of national governments will not work.
No one can be sure that the Federation of Popo will win the war. Lost in the war, all promises of the Berlin government were empty checks.
Unlike the Russian Empire, even if they lose the war, they will not die. The collateral that the Tsarist government now gives, even if the Pope Federation wins the war, is not capable of occupying it.
The Commonwealth Federation is not the same. They have a limited family base, and once they are defeated, they are all paid in.
No one doubts the appetite of the Russians, and even if they cannot swallow the Popo Federation, they can still pay it. The Vienna government is not interested in Poland, but it is well-known for its ambitions in Prussia.
The slogan was shouted for a long time, and the fake became real. Franz's grand German plan, after so many years of shouting, has long been popular.
Except for a limited number of high-level governments, the remaining Austrians are all striving to unify the German region.
The Berlin government is impossible and does not dare to mortgage its core territory. Otherwise, the Junker aristocracy in the country will have a coup before the Russians call.
Don't get into the big picture with them. If the Juncker nobles have a big picture, Germany would not have been so tragedy.
In the Berlin Palace, William I asked expectantly: ”Are banks willing to take over?”
For international loans and bond issuance these years, the best way is to get the bank consortium first and let the bank come out to calm the government.
As long as an agreement is signed with the bank, approval can basically be obtained, and many political additional conditions can be saved.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeffrey Friedman: ”So far, only five banks have shown interest.
These are small banks, and if they want to bet big, even if they are negotiated, they will issue tens of millions of marks of bonds at most. It is far from our expected goal. ”
(1 mark is about 0.358 grams of gold)
There is never a shortage of gamblers in this world. Even if the outside world is generally not optimistic about the Popo Federation, there are also people who dare to take business.
After a moment of silence, William I slowly spoke: ”Let's connect with the Jews! As long as they are willing to issue bonds for us or provide loans, they will support their independence.”
William I did not like Jews, but now had to cooperate with Jews. Because of the anti-Semitic relationship of the Tsarist government, the Jews in Russia were subjected to **** slaughter, and the relationship between the two sides was very bad.
The enemy's enemies are allies. In this era, Jews have no sense of security. Especially after the outbreak of the anti-Semitic movement in Russia, Jews must fight back for their own security and let the world see their power.
