Chapter 971： Financing (2/2)

After pondering for a while, Franz said coldly: ”This financing is mainly to solve the difficulties for everyone. It is unreasonable for our family to bear it. We will bring the anti-French alliance to talk with the British.

We can use the French war reparations as a guarantee, and the anti-French allied countries will work together to provide guarantees for debt security, and jointly bear the responsibility for breach of contract.

If the British are not at ease, the Anti-French Alliance can maintain a garrison of no less than 500,000 in France and urge the French government to fulfill its debts.

By the way, we have released news that we are preparing to form a European Customs Union and are considering whether to allow Britain to join.

Other conditions, you decide for yourself. As long as it does not harm our core interests, we can negotiate, and the British government will make the right choice. ”

To save others by oneself, Austria wants the markets of the anti-French alliance countries, and the British have no reason not to peep. In this context, helping countries recover their economies is actually beneficial to everyone.

If the British government takes the loan card holders, Franz doesn't mind the loss of both sides, and he created the ”European Economic Community” ahead of time to exclude the British from the European economic system.

”Lack of money” is a big deal. The economic recovery will be slower. The anti-French alliance is not short of food. As long as the people are fed, there will be no major troubles.

”Lack of market” is different. The European continent can be described as the world's most purchasing power region this year, accounting for more than half of Britain's total foreign trade.

Suddenly losing such a large market, there is no new market to replace it in a short time. India's market potential is indeed great, but the potential is not equal to purchasing power.

When the market is cultivated, time has passed. Without Europe, Britain will at least add millions of unemployed people in a short time. An economic crisis is indispensable.

Although the contradictions between Britain and Austria are great, there is really not much hatred. Even if it is a confrontation, it is carried out in secret, and the relationship between the two countries is still improvised.

Franz doesn't think that the British government will risk losing both sides and smash with Austria. This is not in the interests of politicians.

Again, this is not in Austria’s interest. From the perspective of development potential, Austria is clearly far ahead of Britain, and slowing down the development speed is wasting its own advantages.

It can be said that every time the time is pushed back one day, Austria's advantage will be greatly increased. Especially after the annexation of the German Federation, there will be a qualitative leap.

In order to achieve the goal, even the ”garrison against France” was used by Franz as a negotiation condition.

To ensure the normal performance of debts, the garrison must have it. Otherwise, the French government has breached the contract and can't have another anti-French war, right?

It's just a question of how many troops are stationed. ”Not less than half a million” is definitely impossible. If there are so many troops in France, let's not say that France will be revived, and it will be able to eat the poor French.

If the military discipline is a little worse, then the French government will do nothing and do the aftermath of the garrison every day.

The British wanted to maintain their vitality for the French, and they also dreamed of making France a comeback. They had to suppress the number of troops stationed in the Anti-French Alliance.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Weissenberg: ”Your Majesty, it's easy to talk about other issues. It is very difficult for the British to agree to the financing guarantee only with French indemnities.

Even if the anti-French alliance countries provide security endorsements together, they can only guarantee that the French government will not maliciously breach the contract.

Judging from the current situation, it will take a long time for France to recover its economy after the war. If the economy does not recover, the government will have no money to pay its debts. No one can do anything with no money in his pocket.

Not long ago, when the German Federal Government proposed the transfer of claims, the London government asked the governments of the various states within the German Federation to guarantee in advance to ensure that the French can normally pay indemnities before accepting the transfer.

Obviously, the British have realized the risks involved, and it is not easy to pit them. ”

As the protagonist of the war, no one knows what the French lost in the war better than the Vienna government.

According to the ”Draft on Disposal of the Law” drafted by the Anti-French League, unless the French collectively open the issue, it is only a matter of time before the debt defaults.

If the guarantee is accepted, if the French defaults on the debt, will the British collect the debt or not?

Debt collection is undoubtedly stabbing the French, pushing them down the abyss, and cutting off their chance of a comeback.

Not collecting debts did help the French, but capital would not agree. Financial consortia don't care about the overall situation. Repayment of debts is a must.

Franz shook his head: ”It doesn't matter, the British government does not need to agree, as long as the financial institution that provides us with the funds approves it.

High-risk is high-yield, so the interest rate should be raised a little bit, not afraid that the bankers will not be tempted.

Moreover, we also provide debt security guarantees. If the French government is really unable to repay, all countries have to bear joint and several repayment responsibilities.

Anyway, the money borrowed is not their own. As long as the benefits are large enough and there are enough reasons to convince investors, they will not mind taking risks. ”

Things are certainly not as easy as Franz said. The prerequisite for ”joint repayment responsibility” must be that the French cannot afford to repay.

It is a huge hole just to believe that ”inability to repay”. Repaying debts in cash is repaying, and paying off debts in kind is also repaying.

If you are in a hurry, you can also set aside a piece of land from the French mainland to cover their debts.
