Chapter thirty-seven, the capital that cannot be understood
The spring breeze blows on my face, and everything begins to revive. Under the sunshine, the withered toon trees spit out fragrant red buds again, as if telling the cycle of history.
The drill before the military parade began. Looking at the army gathered from all over the world, Schliffen was not happy at all.
No matter whether it is an officer's regiment or an ordinary soldier, there is no essential difference in walking in the quadratic formation.
Although the Prussian army is elite, the troops participating in the military parades in various places are not idiots. It is impossible to stand out on other people's shoulders.
"Innovative" means being overthinking. All military parades are set up in advance, and the troops participating in the inspection only need to follow the plan.
"Military orders are like mountains" is not a joke. If you make a move, you must go to a military court regardless of the result.
Schlieffen wanted to attract the emperor's attention, but he was not prepared to do so by committing suicide. If he really messed up the National Day military parade, not only would he be done, but he might have a good military number.
No matter how brilliant the Prussian army was in the past, they were only insignificant parts of the current national defense system of the Holy Roman Empire.
Purely there are not many of them, and there are not many of them. The Holy Roman Empire, with a population of 130 million, has established an absolute advantage on the European continent.
If it's just that there's no way to attract the emperor's attention, that's fine. After all, the chances of such things are very low, and they have alternative solutions.
What made Schliffen even more sad was that among the many armies that arrived in Vienna, they became the most shabby existence. If this was also considered to attract attention, then they really succeeded.
The armies of other states came in armored vehicles, which looked very imposing, while the Prussian army came on horseback.
Although the cavalry has not yet withdrawn from the stage of history, the torrent of steel has become the main line of future development. Especially countries that have experienced the anti-French war have strengthened their determination to develop armored tanks.
Chasing hot spots is the instinct of human nature. Whether it is a big country or a small country, anyone who retains the army has created a bunch of new toys to support the storefront for themselves.
If it weren't forbidden by the traffic management department, there would probably be people flying planes and tanks coming.
Anyway, there are not many people participating in the military parade in each country, ranging from a few to a hundred, and any means of transportation is the same.
Since that’s the case, of course, the scenery comes. After all, everyone wants to save face, and in front of the people of the whole country, they can’t be embarrassed.
You should know that the movie has been born. As the first military parade of the Holy Roman Empire, the video data must be preserved. Once it is recorded, it will be an eternal stain.
As it turns out, this is totally overthinking.
The Central Army is responsible for the performances. The state army participating in the inspection is all in the infantry formation.
This result only gave Schliffen a little bit of relief, but more bitter. Seeing that he was surpassed by his neighbors before, no feeling would be wonderful.
...
The military parade of the Holy Roman Empire not only touched the hearts of the people in China, but also attracted the attention of the world.
As a newly rising hegemon, the Vienna government's every move will be "political interpretation" from the outside world. Even if it has no purpose, it will be interpreted by people.
The one who pays most attention to all this is naturally the Spanish Foreign Minister Joniol who has just arrived in Vienna and wants to obtain diplomatic support and policy loans.
...
In the Vienna Embassy District, there are a row of buildings with distinct levels, staggered heights, full of sunshine and vitality.
Almost everyone stops to appreciate this artistic Spanish-style building when they arrive here.
Perhaps this is the last stubbornness of the old-school empire. Although Spain has declined, its diplomatic investment has never been shabby, at least the Embassy in Vienna is like this.
"Earl Brad, you have been in Vienna for twenty years. If anyone in Spain knows the Holy Roman Empire best, it is absolutely you.
The Vienna government is holding a military parade at this time. Do you think they are really just to demonstrate to the British?"
Junior had no choice but to think about it. Although the Vienna government rarely causes trouble, once it started, it would be a shocking moment.
As for the "military parade" incident itself, it means it is big or small. If it were put before, Junior would not have paid so much attention.
It's different now. The European War has ended for more than three years and the economic crisis is about to pass. The Holy Roman Empire, which initially completed the integration of the German states, has already come out of its weak period.
Double-headed eagles that have raised their bodies always have to go out to hunt. No matter how much they change, the eagle is still an eagle, and it is impossible to change to vegetarian food.
Looking at the world today, Britain is the only one with strength to compete with the Holy Roman Empire, and the Russians are at most half.
On the surface, the relationship between Britain and Austria has indeed been a bit tense in recent years. The Vienna government has demonstrated to the British without any problem.
But Junior didn't think things would be that simple. After all, the advantage of the Holy Roman Empire was on land, while the advantage of the British was on sea.
No matter how powerful the Shinra Army is, the British who have the protection of the Straits cannot feel the real pressure.
Unless the military parade is changed to the sea and dozens of battleships are concentrated for a performance, it is estimated that the British will have a headache for several days.
Minister Brad smiled slightly, put down the coffee in his hand, and replied: "The purpose of the Vienna government is naturally not just to demonstrate to the British.
If you want to make it unhappy for the British, it is better to directly increase the naval budget and build a few more warships to be effective.
Your Excellency, don't forget that in addition to the British, there is a polar bear on the European continent. Although this bear is hibernating now, no one can ignore their existence.
Especially since they just changed the Tsar, and the newly succeeded Tsar Nicholas II has recently started to make trouble in China.
Based on past experience, I personally judge that Shenrao's National Day military parade was the Emperor Franz who was hitting the Russians again.
This is almost a vicious cycle. Every ambitious Tsar succeeds to the throne, Russia-Austria relations will be tense for a while. After hitting a wall, the relations between the two countries will soon return to normal.
Of course, the intention to demonstrate to countries around the world is not ruled out. After all, they are now overlords, so they have to do something."
In recent decades, when mentioning the "Russia-Austrian Alliance", there is no European politician who will not have a headache. It can be said that this alliance directly determines the direction of the European situation.
However, this seemingly unbreakable alliance has far less harmonious internal relations than the outside world sees.
In the dispute over alliance dominance, the secret struggle between Russia and Austria has never stopped. It was not until recent years that Austria gradually gained alliance dominance with its economic advantages, and the struggle gradually eased.
However, how could the Tsarist government be willing to be a younger brother? Since Alexander II, almost every Tsar has made efforts to get rid of Austrian influence.
Unfortunately, the Tsarist government is too poor. Every time their economy has just improved, new wars come one after another.
The final result is that after every war, the Russian Empire's dependence on Austria increased a little.
From the initial economy, then to the military, then to the industrial system, now to culture and art, the connection between the two countries is too close.
The economic crisis that broke out not long ago is an example. The Holy Roman Empire had problems with its economy and the Russian Empire had no room for struggle, so it was dragged down directly.
Whether they were willing to admit it or not, the interests of the ruling class of the Tsarist government were tied to Austria.
If they are unlucky, Austria may only be a short-term pain; but once there is a problem in Austria, their wallet will definitely be done.
If not, the Tsarist government would not have been easily fooled into joining the anti-French war, nor would it have sat down to see the reinstatement of the Holy Roman Empire.
At this point, it is no longer something that someone can oppose. Any act that destroys the relationship between the two countries is to mobilize the cheese of bureaucrats and nobles.
If the Vienna government really makes a fuss, the Vienna government will put African agricultural products into the market and release restrictions on mineral resource development. The Russian Empire's agriculture and mining industry will soon be finished.
Not only the bureaucrats and nobles did not agree, but also the compradors and national capitalists did not agree. While buying, the lifeblood of Russian industry and commerce was inevitable.
All vested interests oppose it. Just the Tsar wants to change, and the final outcome is not to be thought about.
This conclusion was not conjectured out of thin air by Minister Brad, but was obtained by Britain and France through decades of experience and lessons.
In order to split the Russian-Austrian alliance, the French worked hard for more than 30 years, the British worked hard for forty years, and countless international relations experts and scholars finally came to this conclusion.
The easiest and only way to destroy the relationship between the two countries is: a political earthquake occurred in the Tsarist government and all the original vested interests were cleaned out.
Moreover, the new ruling class must be able to fight. Not only must it be able to withstand the enemy's sugar-coated shells, but it must also be prepared to endure long-term hardships and suppress domestic bankrupt workers and peasants' rebellion at any time.
"kindness!"
As long as it is not targeted at Spain or the bad things between Russia and Austria, Junior has no intention of mixing up.
"As long as we don't involve us, let's see the fun. By the way, how are you talking about the loan with the bankers in Vienna?"
Junior did not forget his purpose in Vienna. As long as he could borrow money, everything else would be a bit of trouble.
When talking about the loan, the smile on Mr. Brad's face disappeared. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Your Excellency, you know. Those vampires are all masters who eat people and don't spit bones.
Not only are the loan interest rates high, they also require collateral, and they are not collateral in the general sense.
They want us to use the right to issue the tournament tower as collateral.”
Minister Brad was also helpless. With the financial situation of the Spanish government, ordinary commercial banks could not lend at all. If you want to get a loan, you can only find those extraordinary speculative banks or financial microfinance companies.
Interests are the most likely to make people lose themselves. Seeing overseas bankers taking their hands deep into politics, and some even directly control the currency issuance rights of a country, some people in the Shinra financial industry can no longer sit still.
Someone even paid attention to the issuance rights of the ASCHE, but these guys were unlucky and met a strong government and soon met God.
Big meat cannot be eaten, and a little bit smaller is also tempting. Spain is delivered to the door at this time, and financial speculators can't help it.
After a while of silence, Junior slowly said, "What a big appetite, aren't they afraid of being choked to death?
Who gave them the confidence to eat us? Is it…”
Before Junior finished speaking, Minister Brad interrupted: "It's not the Vienna government, I can be sure of this.
They did not move the right to issue money from the Italian states to their doors; they did not take advantage of the economic crisis not long ago.
ASUS is already the world currency, and the game tower and ASUS are also linked to it. Our currency issuance rights are not important to them.
As for the origin of this vampire, we are actually very familiar with it. Except for those damn Jewish ghosts, the whole world cannot find such a greedy person..."
The courageous ones are to die of death, and the timid ones are starving to death. In this regard, Jewish capital has performed the most outstandingly.
Despite heavy losses in the previous anti-corruption campaign, after a period of recovery, Jewish capital appeared in the financial world again.
However, this time, his identity is no longer a mainstream banker, but a few financial microfinance companies or speculative banks that are arbitrary.
There is no way. Apart from making quick money outside the door, it is impossible for ordinary business models to make a comeback so quickly.
Unlike the unscrupulous past, after experiencing social beatings, Jewish financiers have been much more restrained.
After realizing that Shinra is not suitable for their development, these people are also considering the cunning rabbit's three holes. It happened that Spain came to the door at this time, and the story followed was created.
After calming down, Junior quickly realized that something was wrong. Without anyone to support him, he dared to play the right to issue the game tower. This is no longer just a bold move.
"No, there must be a problem behind this. Jewish capital is not strong in Austria. It is impossible for them to mobilize so much cash in a short period of time with their strength alone.
What's more, our situation is not good. Other commercial banks dare not lend money, so why do they dare to borrow money?
We must find out who is supporting it. Otherwise, I would rather make a deal with the Vienna government than deal with them, the vampires."
Although I don't know who was calculating, there is one thing Junior knows, that is, Jewish capital is not able to fight against a country.
Even if the contract is signed, if the Spanish government violates the contract, they will have no way to do so.
Chapter completed!
