Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 86: Balkans of influence

In contrast, another bad brother, Greece, is much better now. Although the Austro-Hungarian Bank suddenly stopped lending and was affected, it doesn't matter. We have many creditors. We can think of ways to deal with the past.

Ferdinand had to say "convinced" to the Greek government led by George I!

A country with a population of two million and a military force of 150,000 people, including a navy that swallows 40,000 gold beasts, is an admirable pentathlon.

To such an extent that the poor soldiers are arrogant and martial, it is reasonable that the country should have been raging. But Greece does not. Although it has also been affected by the economic crisis and some minor disturbances have occurred, the country is generally stable.

This is completely proud of Greece's unique stunt, a word "borrow"!

George I's political level was leveraged. As soon as the economic crisis broke out, he immediately convened a cabinet meeting to find a way to deal with the next crisis that might erupt.

"The economic crisis has already erupted. What strategy does your cabinet have?" George I asked expectantly.

"Respect Your Majesty, this economic crisis in Greece was caused by external reasons! We alone are afraid that we cannot escape the crisis. At present, only government funding for food purchases, relief for the unemployed, etc. will return to normal when the world economic crisis passes!" Trikupis said with confidence

George I nodded. He was wisely opposed to the government's negative measures.

If you want to talk about the Balkan countries, who is most infiltrated by the powers will undoubtedly recommend Greece first.

独立 Independence from the colonial rule of the Ottoman Empire began with the powers. Including King Otto I of 1832, and now George I, were selected by the powers.

National sovereignty has long been lost. Relying on government policies to restrict international capital is tantamount to dreaming. George I did not have the courage to challenge the powers, and Greece did not challenge the power of the powers.

George I thought for a while and said, "This is not enough, we still lack emergency funds! You must strengthen the connection with banks in various countries, and strive to let them issue some loans in advance in case of emergency!"

Uh ...

Because the Greek government made preparations in advance, when the Austrian-Hungarian Bank stopped issuing loans, the government still had a lot of funds, and it could slowly negotiate with other banks.

In the end, the wealthy British boss won, and took the debt of the Austrian-Hungarian Bank very easily. Oh, it's just a two-point increase in interest.

Look at Romania next door. By contrast, Carol I was still very moist. The "Black Sea Pearl" is not blown out. The vast black land and rich mineral resources are coveting even furry bears.

Well, there are so many places where Mao Xiong is drooling, just leave it alone! Anyway, this rich family base provides a strong support for Romania's industrial development.

Since Carroll I succeeded, encouraging the development of industry, although great results have not been achieved. But small and medium-sized factories have sprung up like bamboo shoots, and they look vibrant.

罗马尼亚 Like other Balkan countries, Romania is also heavily penetrated by the powers. A wave of wool was cut after the economic crisis, and Romania's fragile economy was hit hard.

After the outbreak of the Austria-Hungary financial crisis, funds were drawn from overseas, and Romania is no exception. However, before the economic crisis broke out, German agriculture had previously owed money. Carroll I relied on the pact concluded with Germany and Austria in 1883, and Romania also made a fortune.

Then Romania passed smoothly, but the financial crisis intensified. To raise military expenses, Carroll I raised taxes on farmers.

Looking at the news from the neighboring countries, Ferdinand was deeply relieved. Fortunately, everyone was unlucky.

Sometimes people are like this. They are unlucky. When they see others being unlucky, they are gloating, and Ferdinand is no exception.

From the data collected, the Balkan countries are all without exception in this economic crisis.

Bulgaria made preparations in advance, and domestic capital was dominated by state-owned capital, and the government strongly suppressed domestic capitalists to take advantage of the robbery. It launched the "two-fifth plan" to absorb the unemployed in the society and took the lead to escape the economic crisis.

The Greek government weathered the crisis with loans. The government launched relief to the unemployed and stabilized the situation.

Romania has fertile land and abundant products. Although it suffered heavy industrial losses, it has survived the crisis by exploiting farmers. Undercurrents are still domestic, although volcanic eruptions are possible.

It goes without saying that Serbia's economic losses have now led to a small-scale civil war under Ferdinand's butterfly effect. Well, Ferdinand acknowledged that this uprising had his hands on it.

As for the future of Montenegro's Kingdom of Montenegro, ignore it. A small country with a population of less than 500,000 and almost zero industry is not yet worthy of Ferdinand.

Not surprisingly, there is no analysis of the Ottoman Empire. This is not that Ferdinand didn't pay attention to it. The key is that Ottoman is in a mess now, and domestic bureaucrats are busy fighting for power all day. The specific situation in the country has not been figured out by themselves, but it is very bad anyway.

I was so happy for Osman Ferdinand, anyway, with the memory of later generations ~ www.readwn.com ~ he also knew that the ethnic contradictions of the Ottoman Empire were an unsolvable problem. Just one Mars can detonate, or else Ferdinand will be bold enough to set his sights on this giant.

应对 In response to possible changes in the Balkans, Ferdinand convened a cabinet meeting again.

"Everyone, we have passed the most difficult time since the outbreak of the economic crisis! But the next problem has come again. After the outbreak of the Austro-Hungarian financial crisis, we have relaxed our control over the Balkans. Other powers will definitely find opportunities. In the future, a major diplomatic change is likely to happen in the Balkans! What shall we do next in Bulgaria? How can we be invincible in this change and even obtain greater benefits? "Ferdinand said cautiously

This is a big proposition. Don't think that Bulgaria and Russia can allay peace of mind when they form an alliance. If there is greater interest, Ferdinand does not mind tearing up the treaty at any time, and of course the same is true for the bears.

The meeting room became silent. Although the Bulgarian elites were sitting, everyone was at a loss on this issue. In terms of long-term strategic layout, apart from Ferdinand, Bulgaria does not really have such a long-term strategist.

Seeing that the scene was embarrassed, Chekov stiffened his head and said, "My Excellency, the situation in the Balkans is now a mess, and the forces of Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and Austria are intertwined, making it difficult to see the future direction."

Jeff Ferdinand nodded calmly. He knew it wasn't his people's inaction, but he was a fan of their authorities and didn't know what to do.

The new Prime Minister Constantine knows that it is time for him to express his opinions. Others can leave their opinions, but they must be prime ministers.

He said heartily ...
