Chapter 657: The outbreak of war (1/2)
Shortly after the Russia-Olympiad agreement was exposed, the Berlin government also publicly published the ”Anglo-Presidential Debt Agreement” and the ”French-Presidential Debt Agreement.”
Confidentiality does not exist, and now is the time to improve morale. If there is no good news, how can the people in the country bravely participate in the war?
International loans have always been linked to politics. While providing funds, it also means that everyone is standing in line.
Britain and France support the Popo Federation, Austria and the Nordic Federation support the Russian Empire, and other European countries have also stood in line.
The Netherlands, Belgium, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, the German Federation and other countries are more inclined to the Popo Federation, and Greece and Montenegro support Russia.
In terms of international support, the Commonwealth Federation still has an advantage, but the Russian Empire has a greater potential for war, and the two sides can be regarded as equal.
At the Vienna Palace, Franz was not surprised by the Russian diplomatic defeat. The diplomatic capabilities of the Tsarist government and the ability to win over the Nordic Federation are all played at an extra level.
Denmark played an important role here. If it were not for the Danish efforts, even with the Austrian guarantee, the Tsarist government would make it easy for the Nordic Federation to pay for it.
After decades of grievances between the Russians and Sweden, the older generations have died, and the new generation does not feel the deep feelings; but the grievances between Prussia and Denmark are not the same. It has only been more than ten years.
Regardless of the Dora hatred of the Russians, they were fighting against Prussia for Denmark, and most Danes had a good opinion of the Tsarist government.
Although the Nordic Federation is the core of Sweden, the central government must also consider the sentiments of the Danish people when making decisions.
Moreover, the conditions given by the Tsarist government are really tempting. With the guarantee of the Vienna government, the risk of debt default has been greatly reduced.
The worst result can also be used to make a fortune in war. The krona is not an international currency. The Russians have nowhere to use except to buy and buy in the Nordic Federation.
If you're lucky, you can win Finland without a fight, and you'll make a lot of money.
Public opinion has exploded. Everyone has different opinions on this upcoming war.
Some people even divided the European world into two camps, and regarded the Pu-Russia war as a game between Britain, France, and Austria.
These messy news did not affect Franz's good mood. The current situation is completely in accordance with the plot set by him in advance, at most there is a small discrepancy.
Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Franz said: ”First allocate 100 million Aegis to the Russians and let the tsarist government dare to do it!”
Loans also need to be paid in installments. In a short period of time, banks cannot transfer hundreds of millions of SHIELD cash without affecting their own operations.
Not to mention the bonds. This is just the beginning of the market. It will not be sold out in a few months. In the short term, the tsarist government will not get any money.
Being able to get 100 million Aegis in a short period of time is definitely a preferential treatment, and normal commercial loans are definitely not so fast.
...
Money is a hero's courage. The Russians who got the money completely let go of their hands and immediately recruited troops across the country.
Hermitage, Alexander II is listening to his son's return. Unable to obtain support from Britain and France, Alexandrovich's European trip naturally ended.
”You mean, Britain, France, Austria and the Three Kingdoms conspired and wanted to make us lose each other?”
Unsurprisingly, Alexander II was surprised that the situation was unexpected.
Originally Alexander II also dreamed of easing relations with Britain and France, which would allow them to remain neutral in the war, at least at the beginning of the war, and did not expect to do all the helpless work.
Alexandrovich nodded: ”Although there is no direct evidence to prove this, it can already be seen from the current practices of the three countries.
The negotiations were so difficult before, and an agreement was suddenly reached later, which was obviously abnormal.
If you analyze the turning point in the negotiations, you will find that after the British and the British reached an agreement, the Austrians suddenly made a major concession to us and no longer required us to mortgage all gold.
It is now the end of October, and it will be winter in a maximum of two months. In such a short period of time, it is impossible to separate the winner and the loser.
However, money was in place at this time, and the enemy had begun to expand its army.
If the war drags on again in the spring of next year, the enemies we face will not be hundreds of thousands now, but millions of armed troops. ”
The Russian army has certain advantages in winter operations, but this advantage requires time and place.
This is an advantage when it comes to home defense, and the situation is different if you want to take the initiative.
Not all winters are as cold as Russia, at least not cold enough in Poland.
After wandering a few steps, Alexander II laughed at himself: ”It doesn't matter, it's generally good for us.
