Chapter 1060： Mentor Franz (2/2)
Therefore, he has always only offered spiritual encouragement and did not make any specific suggestions. He called it not to interfere in other countries' internal affairs.
They are all free. When he started his business in the world, Franz couldn't wait for the rulers of other countries to be drunk, let alone encourage them to fight.
Now it is different. The dominance of the Holy Roman Empire has been established. No matter how latecomers can toss, they can't change the overall situation.
Then just be a good person and encourage the younger generations to study hard, complete industrialization as soon as possible, and promote the development of human civilization.
I don’t know if it’s because of ”fish eating unlucky food”. Every time Franz goes fishing, he comes back with pleasure and fails.
This time was no exception. Looking at a bunch of jumping grandsons, Franz knew that it would be difficult to gain anything today.
But these are all minor problems. Fishing is meant to pass the time, and it doesn’t really matter whether you have gained or not.
”Father, the British have come out to do things again!”
Hearing a familiar voice behind him, Franz knew that the trouble was coming again. In recent years, the secret battle between Shenluo and Britain has become more intense.
You cheated me today, and I will cheat you again tomorrow. Over time, the grievances between the two countries have long been unclear.
Especially during the time when Frederick was in charge, the Vienna government did not suffer less. In line with the principle of paying tuition, as long as the core interests are not involved, Franz doesn't bother to bother.
”A problem with Morocco?”
Since the news spread that the Spanish government wanted to sell the Moroccan region, Franz knew that the British were going to do something.
The essence of international politics is: I oppose what the enemy supports, and I support what the enemy opposes; what the enemy wants to do, let them fail.
Frederick: ”That's right. The British spread rumors around that we are intimidating the Spanish government to take the Moroccan region.
Just this morning, the British Foreign Secretary also publicly issued a declaration to support the Spanish government in safeguarding its own rights and interests, and suggested that the Spanish government put the Moroccan region under full control. ”
Franz commented with interest: ”It seems that this British government has made rapid progress and its political methods have become more mature.
But these little tricks can make people sick. Unless the British are willing to pay, it would be a joke to support Spain's control of Morocco.
As long as the Spanish government's financial problems are not resolved, their determination to sell the Moroccan region will not be easily shaken. It's noisy now, it's nothing more than to facilitate the Spaniards to raise prices.
Keep an eye on it, the British must have something to follow. Warn the Spanish government and make them wary of the outbreak of revolution in the country. ”
It is really surprising that the British government did not jump out to compete for the Moroccan region. However, considering that the British have suffered similar losses before, it is not surprising that they have learned their lesson now.
As for the pressure of public opinion, it is nothing more than a price issue. Only when there is less money, is it a strong buy and sell; as long as the price is reasonable, it is an ordinary colonial transaction.
With a simple calculation, the Vienna government will have to pay tens of millions of Aegis funds for this. The British have no reason not to do so.
Frederick said with a frustrated face: ”The truth is correct, but the British calculations have once again brought us into a deadlock in our negotiations with the Spanish.
Not only has it attracted public attention internationally, the domestic people are also very concerned about this issue. There have even been many fundraising committees in the private sector, wanting to pay the money for the government.
Since the news spread that the Spanish government intends to sell the Moroccan region, there has been an endless stream of people who came to lobby, and I was almost annoyed to death. ”
Obviously, the sudden appearance of ”fundraising committees” wanting to pay for the government is not how patriotic they are.
In the final analysis, it is because of interest. The Holy Roman Empire pays attention to the principle of reciprocity. As much as it contributes to the cause of the empire, the pie is divided.
The Vienna government paid for the Moroccan region, which is directly under the central government, and everyone would have a sip of soup at most.
If civilian groups paid for the Moroccan region and completed the armed occupation, then another group of fiefdoms would rise.
The government in charge of taking the lead will at most take a few big cities and important ports, and most of the benefits will be distributed to those who contribute money.
When it comes to vital interests, everyone's reaction is naturally quicker. As for the issue of money, there is no need to worry at all. Some are sponsored by capitalists who want to cross classes.
Financial power + military power = colonial success.
With the world being divided up, the chances of obtaining fiefdoms have become less and less. Every time an opportunity arises, a large group of people will fight for it.
Especially Morocco is very close to Europe, the climate is also very good, and the attraction is even stronger.
Franz did not show sympathy for his son's depression, but gloated and said: ”It's good to be used to it.
There will be many things like this in the future, and you have to learn to adapt.
After you have developed a strong heart, you will find these trivialities, just a touch of dust in your life, which is nothing at all. ”
Sometimes more chicken soup is good for the body. The unrealized and detached fantasy chicken soup is poisonous.
Although Franz's words have a flickering element, if you really have a strong heart, you can really treat these annoying things as a dust.
After all, Frederick is the crown prince of the Holy Roman Empire, and as long as he can stick to his principles, the lobbyists can't do anything.
Frederick was very depressed about this result. Originally, I came to report to my father just for the help I asked for.
The solution was not found, but instead was filled with chicken soup. If it were young, Frederick would definitely be passionate and put out a twelve-point spirit to complete.
However, Frederick, who was over 40 years old, had obviously passed his **** age. For the encouragement in the chicken soup, immunity has long been realized. Generally speaking, it is now he is filling other people with chicken soup.
Franz did not give an answer, which means that the distribution of interests in Morocco requires him, the crown prince, to make the decision.
Obviously, this is not an easy job. At any time, the distribution of benefits is the most troublesome.
Morocco is so big and there are so many people watching. Obviously it is impossible to satisfy everyone's appetite, and distribution is very challenging.
Soon Frederick responded that he didn't get it in Morocco, so he considered the distribution of benefits first. Obviously, he was thinking too much.
Seeing a group of little ones playing around by the lake, Frederick showed envy.
Childhood time is the best, you can have fun without thinking about anything. It's a pity that time is gone, never to go back.
