The facts once again prove that the boss is not easy to be a good person, and he must fight against the thunder for his younger brother at critical moments. The debt between Prussia and the British is well-known and no one can deny it.

"It is natural to pay back debts."

Even if the political situation changes, the creditor of the Kingdom of Prussia is still there, and the debt naturally exists. The British have to collect accounts according to the agreement on the loan contract, and no one can say that it is wrong.

Originally, this had little to do with Franz. The debts of states were not the debts of the central government, and the empire had no obligation to bear them. Even if the British were collecting debts, they could not find the Vienna government.

The problem is that the Berlin government is now pretending to be dead and has raised the "debt problem" to the maintenance of national sovereignty, and the matter has fallen on the Vienna government.

It is impossible to fulfill a contract. If it is implemented in accordance with the treaty, the people's spitting stars will flood Vienna.

It is impossible to give money. If we help the Kingdom of Prussia pay off its debt today, we don’t know how many state governments will go bankrupt tomorrow. In the face of interests, politicians have always been very low in moral integrity.

Breach of contract is even more impossible. As a newly rising hegemon, the Vienna government must maintain its international image.

Especially the Vienna government has a lot of debts to collect outside. If it takes the lead in playing helpless, people can use "international practices" as an excuse to pay debts in the future.

It can be said that the Vienna government is now forced into an embarrassing situation. William II came to Vienna personally for help, probably not only for help, but more for "application".

It is obviously unreasonable to cause such a big mess without giving an explanation. Even if the state is highly autonomous, the central government can also wear small shoes for them.

Now that we are coming to make trouble, the actual losses are minimal, except for being a little embarrassed. Even if the Vienna government is willing to settle the score with them, after this wave, there is no way to take action.

This is the rule of the game. The Prussian Kingdom did it this time, but the kings came to apologize in person. Even if the matter came to an end, it would be aggressive if it was pursued.

After rubbing his forehead, Franz asked with concern: "The Cabinet is ready to deal with Prussia's debt problem?"

Prime Minister Carl: "The ideal result is naturally the British to make concessions. Allow the Prussian government to postpone payments or carry out debt restructuring, and part of the compensation received by Prussia in the anti-French war is compensated.

This is almost impossible, Britain has also continued the economic crisis, and the London government is now in need of funds, and without greater interests, they have no reason to accept debt extensions.

Debt restructuring is even more troublesome. The situation in the Kingdom of Prussia is pretty good. If the Berlin government had not done a lot of unfinished projects before, there would have been no financial bankruptcy.

France is the real huge pit. Judging from the current situation, it is God's blessing that the Paris government can't go bankrupt. As for war reparations, we should not have too much expectations in the next two or three years.

We cheated the British on the debt issue of the German Federation. Now, I am afraid that no matter what they say, they will no longer accept the transfer of their debts.

Without breach of contract and sacrificing national sovereignty, I am afraid that there will be only a secret transaction of interests in exchange for the British to make concessions on Prussia's debt."

The benefits of gambling for the success of national fortune are of great success, but the price of failure is also heavy. In recent years, the Kingdom of Prussia has been paying the price for the previous failure of gambling for the failure of national fortune.

Even though they became the winners of the anti-French war, the compensation they received could not fill the holes left before.

Thinking of this, Franz suddenly understood William II's decision. Without getting rid of the mountain of "debt", the Prussian Kingdom will always be at the bottom of the Holy Roman Empire.

That's right, it's the bottom. Tens of millions of compensation are paid every year, and the Berlin government has no extra financial resources to build the country.

After the reinstatement of the Holy Roman Empire, a major event happened in the Berlin government, and some people in the government proposed to convert two domestic infantry divisions into the Central Army.

There is no other reason, I can't afford it. Throwing the army to the central government will not only save a lot of money, but it is still these people who guard Prussia's security.

In the eyes of government officials, even if the army is retained, the command power will be taken away by the central government. Even if the king still has the right to command, it has nothing to do with the Berlin government.

However, this move was strongly opposed by William II himself. The military command power taken away by the central government was only the highest military commander of the state army during war and in peacetime times.

Once converted into the Central Army, it will be different. Even if the Holy Roman Empire stipulates that the monarch of the state is the highest military commander of the garrison in the area, the one who can really command his own state army.

As for the Central Army, military expenditure was allocated by the emperor and generals were appointed by the emperor. William II would not naively think that after losing these rights, just one nominal supreme command power could control the army.

It seems nothing in normal times, but if something really happens and needs to use the army, suddenly you find that you can't command the army, and you will be finished.

In a sense, losing military power means losing the ability to overturn the table. The people below can unscrupulously overturn the king, and play purely according to the rules of the game. I am afraid that few kings can play with the ministers below.

If you look at the many states of the Holy Roman Empire, you will know that none of them gave up their army if they had some wealth. Including those great nobles who were actually granted overseas, they all formed their own private armies within the scope of the law.

According to statistics from the Vienna government, the total strength of the noble private troops of the states in the Holy Roman Empire accounted for about one-third of the total number of the imperial army.

If various colonial groups and civilian armed forces were added, this proportion would likely be more than half. In other words, these miscellaneous armed forces were the same as those of the Central Army in terms of numbers.

This is an inevitable result. The state is a historical problem. If the Vienna government does not pay attention to the appearance, why should people get along with you?

Not to mention the noble private army and civilian colonial armed forces. Without these people, where did the empire's colonies come from?

People shoot down the country with one blow. When it comes to the time to divide the cake, can they still kick them out?

Even if you break the bridge across the river, you have to wait until you cross the river before you can consider things. The territory of the Holy Roman Empire has surpassed any country in history. If you really play directly under the central government, even if you are not dragged to death by administrative expenditures, you will be killed by endless uprisings.

Do you really think Franz is willing to enfeoff a lot? Not all real needs. If you don’t divide the cake, why should the people below work for you?

You can tell from the actual results that major colonial empires are troubled by national uprisings, but the Vienna government has never been worried about it.

In fact, the Holy Roman Empire did not have the largest number of private troops. The British had the largest number of private armed forces, but they were named as companies, colonial governments, and autonomous lords.

Simply put, if you open up a colony, the British government will entrust you to form a colonial government, such as the East India Company.

Of course, whether you can save it in the end depends on your ability to move, or your background in China.

If you really manage it directly, with the number of lobster soldiers, you can dominate Canada at most. You can't have more, you can't take care of it anymore.

Everyone is working hard to fight for the rights, and William II, who has already obtained it, is naturally unwilling to give up. If you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to find that the bankruptcy of the Berlin government is the result of the compromise between all parties in Prussia.

After pondering for a while, Franz shook his head: "Prussia owes the British a lot of money. Even if the London government is willing to compromise, the consortium behind it will not give up.

We must exchange interests with them. We cannot make major strategic concessions for the sake of debt issues, right?

When the British come to the door, let’s talk to them slowly. Procrastinate as much as possible. Maybe after the economic crisis has passed, the Kingdom of Prussia will have money to fulfill its debts.”

In the face of interests, no one is worth mentioning. The situation is very obvious now, and you have to be in a dilemma to solve the problem. If you don’t want to solve the problem, then there will be no trouble.

Anyway, the Prussian Kingdom is not repaid, nor is the Holy Roman Empire. The current debt performance conflicts with the imperial laws, and that is not the responsibility of the Vienna government.

At worst, let the British go to the Imperial Court to sue, which would give those guys a headache. It just so happened to take advantage of this opportunity to promote the Legislative Council to issue a law "Prohibit local mortgage public debt borrowing."

Before this, Franz had already made a rumor, but he had not made any proposals after seeing the strong desire of governments in various states to boycott. The Prussian debt crisis happened to be a chance to come to his door.

The definition of "public power" is very broad. National sovereignty, government fiscal revenue, state-owned industries, and government office buildings can all be regarded as part of public power.

Once the law is passed, state governments will not be able to take out any collateral if they want to borrow money. The only thing they can rely on is government credibility.

For pure credit loans, Franz doesn't need to worry about it. Not to mention whether anyone dares to lend huge debts, even if they really borrow and have a debt default, it will not involve national sovereignty.

If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. If you go bankrupt, you will go bankrupt. These days, there are so many local governments in mainland Europe that have gone bankrupt. No matter how bad the ball is, it will not be able to hit the central government.

...

The Prussian debt crisis is just a small episode, and the economic crisis is rampant around the world. European people are now very anxious and they are almost unable to eat and have no intention of eating melons.

Even if there is a newspaper, it cannot keep everyone from having money to subscribe to newspapers. In the overwhelming wave of unemployment, the people are most concerned about recruitment notices now.

Taking the Holy Roman Empire as an example, after the outbreak of the economic crisis, the domestic unemployment rate directly increased by five times, and there were signs of continued expansion.

This is pretty good. After all, the Shenluo Empire has an African continent that can vent its pressure. Before the outbreak of the economic crisis, the domestic unemployment rate was already very low.

Like previous economies, after this economic crisis broke out, the colonial government and aristocratic lords came to the local area to recruit people.

Just look at the newspaper and you will know that the overwhelming recruitment advertisements are all used to work in the colonies.

That’s right, it’s “working”. After so many years of immigration, I’ve been leaving long ago if I want to immigrate. The rest are those who don’t want to leave their hometown, or those who cannot leave their hometown for some reason.

In order to keep pace with the times, the current recruitment advertisements do not directly require immigration. They only require signing long-term labor contracts, and only work for 5 years or 10 years.

After all, time is the best catalyst. After five years in the colony, even if you want to leave, you must think twice before you act.

There is no way - treatment. All the noble lords these days are "good people". Not only are they given high salary, but the key is that they are also very "loved" and are willing to help their subordinates stand up when they encounter problems.

I especially like my subordinates to take their families with me. Not only are they willing to provide free housing, but they can also ensure resettlement work. Even the education of children is solved.

It is really "loved". Just look at the Imperial Orphanage, you will know that most of them have been abandoned, and the remaining few families have only some children with intact health. All normal orphans have been adopted by these "loved" people.

Even some time ago, the problem of refugee orphans on the border that troubled the Vienna government was solved by these "caring" people.

After the outbreak of the economic crisis, the scope of activities of "caring" people has expanded from empire to the entire European continent. Where they are, people no longer have to worry about how many children can't afford to raise.

In a sense, this is also a major highlight in this economic crisis. There are many fewer people who are starved to death than before. If you are hungry, you can go to these "caring" people.

Of course, not everyone wants it. "Love" people are very tolerant of children, but the review of adults is still very strict.

Street gangsters don’t want to, those with criminal records don’t want to, those with bad intentions don’t want to, those with high resentment towards society, and those who hate them...

These requirements have nothing to do with Evis. As a good young man, if he is willing to work in the colony, there will be at least hundreds of employers to choose from.

That's right, it's just choosing an employer. Almost all the fiefs and nobles of the Holy Roman Empire were short of people. In order to increase labor, everyone has tried their best.

If you are not worried about language barriers and will be unfavorable to territorial management, you will probably go abroad to grab people.

In fact, an intermediary company that specializes in providing immigration to the fiefdom nobles has long been born. If you can't attract people from the local area, you will go abroad to find a way.

It doesn’t matter if the language is not clear, they can provide training; they are all hungry, so why are they picky about?

Even labor skills and obedience can be trained. Immigration trained by certain intermediary companies can even do whatever they want.

The only problem is that the immigration costs of this kind of training are too high. Most nobles cannot afford this high-standard service. In order to save costs, everyone would rather take away people by themselves.

An honest and friendly local young man like Ivis happens to be the most popular talent for everyone, so he naturally has no worries about work.

The problem is that Evis doesn't want to leave his hometown, he just wants to find a job locally that can support his family. Unfortunately, there is no one.

If you find an ordinary job locally before the economic crisis breaks out, there will naturally be no problem.

Unfortunately, it is a time of economic crisis, and most companies and factories are too late to lay off employees. Who would have no idea how to recruit people at this time?

After searching through today's newspapers, Evis finally found a piece of information about recruiting local companies in a small corner.

Before he could be happy, Evis's face suddenly collapsed. There was no way, the recruitment conditions above were too high.

Not only does he require a middle school degree, but he also requires professional work experience, which happens to be something he does not have.
