Chapter 1061： Second Roman Empire (1/2)

Any conflicts and disputes are ultimately caused by interests. The British government's jump out to make troubles did bring trouble to the negotiations.

However, this can't change the nature of the British people's talk. They are supporting the Spanish government with open mouth and silence. In actual action, it is all kinds of excuses to delay.

This is an inevitable result, and there is no problem with spiritual encouragement. But it would be fatal to support Spain with real money.

Since the Russians set a precedent for failing to account, in recent years, Britain has encountered debt defaults.

Although the debtors behind are not as bachelors as the Russians, they are really out of money, and financial institutions in London are also helpless.

Either accept the debt extension, or accept the debt restructuring, anyway, don't think about paying normally. For these problematic loans, it is God bless that the cost can be recovered, so don't think about making money.

With the lessons learned, British capital has also learned to be smart. When it comes to international lending, it is cautious and then cautious.

With Spain’s current financial situation, it is clearly not eligible for debt issuance. Unless the British government is willing to go to the bottom, otherwise no one will visit this muddy water at all.

Daring capitalists are worried about risks, not to mention the London government. The opposition party is not blind, and if it dares to send out the British money for nothing, it is to send the handle to its competitors.

After a tug-of-war of negotiations for more than half a year, the Spanish government, which was in financial difficulties, finally recognized the reality.

On June 6, 1898, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Wesenberg and Spanish representatives 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 region, 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 the Vienna government is willing to give such a high price. There are naturally reasons why. In addition to the fact that Morocco is really important, what is more important is deliberately shown to European countries.

Anyway, the Spanish government owed Shenluo a huge debt, and he saw that the debt was about to default, and it was just enough to cover it now.

After deducting the messy loans, the 180 million transaction contract cost the Vienna government actually more than 10 million in cash.

The Spaniards did not have the confidence to refuse. If it weren't for the loan to cover it, the Vienna government would never have given such a high price.

As for the distribution of benefits, it will be decided based on actual conditions after the Moroccan region is taken.

It is worth mentioning that Frederick rejected private donations. If they can't spend money, it can only be considered that they are out of luck and have not caught up with the good times of spending money to buy titles.

Since Franz succeeded to the throne, the nobility management system has been gradually improved, and Austria has officially entered the era of military merit.

In addition to military merit, one wants to become a nobleman: either by reincarnation and inheriting the title handed down from his ancestors; or he has made significant contributions to the country and was 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 players or ability players.

The title canonization is determined by the emperor. Hundreds of thousands or millions will not enter Franz's eyes, nor will Frederick be tempted.

The rules have long been established, but now they are just abiding, even if someone is dissatisfied, they can only hold back. If you want to share the benefits, then quickly copy the guys, maybe you can still catch up.

This possibility is also very small. On the day of the signing of the treaty, a number of civilian armed forces launched an offensive into the Moroccan region, and the efficiency shocked Franz.

Perhaps everyone knows that the opportunity to obtain a fief in the future is getting harder and harder, and they are unwilling to miss this wave of opportunities. Negotiations are still in progress, and civilian armed forces are gathering in Algeria.

According to a report by the Algerian Provincial Government, by the time the war broke out, there had been 200,000 civilian armed forces from all over the country.

It is worth mentioning that the main force this time is not the emerging aristocrats in Africa, but the majority of domestic aristocrats, and even some state monarchs have appeared.

It's right to think about it. To eat this wave of meat, you must lead your troops to wait before the end of the negotiation.

This can be a high-risk transaction, and it is obviously impossible to have no family background. In case the negotiation collapses, or it 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!

The aristocrats in North Germany who have the background, the strength, and the urgent need for fiefdom are mainly the aristocrats of North Germany.

Although they also participated in the colonial movement, the time and investment of their participation obviously slowed down the aristocracy in Southern Germany.

Step by step, step by step.

With the advancing of the localization process in Africa, the power of the African fiefdom lords to speak in Shenluo politics is also increasing day by day.

In this context, the Southern German aristocracy, which itself dominates, has a higher voice in the empire.

No one wants to be marginalized. Whether it is for political discourse or for the development of the family, the aristocracy in the north urgently needs more fiefdoms.

Driven by the sense of crisis, it is not surprising that several small state monarchs appeared.

In nominal terms, the status of each state of the Shinra is equal, but in practice it is two different things. 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 an autonomous city. They are all highly autonomous anyway, but it is different for state monarchs.

Now they still have one vote in the Imperial Council, but they don't have enough influence in the Empire. Will they still be able to keep that vote in the future?

In the history of Shinra, even the seat of the emperor can be changed, and the seat of the imperial parliament can naturally change.

If you don't want to fall, you must strengthen your own strength. The territories in Europe want to expand, unless it is to copy the lower body fort, marriage happens to meet the extinction of the family.

That probability is too low, not much higher than the probability of buying a lottery ticket, unless it is lucky.

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 human world.

If the same military merit falls on different people, the final benefits will be different.

With that vote in the imperial parliament, the monarchs of these states only need to spend some military merits as tickets in the past, and the rest can be done by insider trading.

Politics is an interest, but it is also a worldly society. The Holy Roman Empire was not only shot down with a single shot, but also pulled up by the network of connections of the Habsburgs.

On this issue, Franz saw it very thoroughly. The emperor is never good, the principles that should be adhered to must be adhered to, and the place that can be smooth must also be smooth.

As a qualified monarch, you can have no superb IQ, but EQ must not be low. Otherwise, just by coordinating the relationship, people can collapse.

Frankly speaking, Franz is lacking in this regard. It was just that he was lucky to catch the last train of the feudal monarchy.

The future will not work. With the development of the times, it is almost impossible for the monarch to keep his promises. More often, it is necessary to coordinate the relationship between all parties.
