Mediterranean Hegemony Road

The biggest problem is solved, and it will be easy to handle later. The rest is the issue of war compensation. The interests of the three big brothers have already been allocated, but there are still a bunch of younger brothers' interests that must also be considered?

In this regard, Constantine could not be worried, Bulgaria had no younger brother to participate in the World War, and no one had promised anyone. Naturally there was no pressure.

There is no doubt that as one of the main forces of the World War, the Russians still have to take a large share, otherwise it is unjustifiable, although it is very unjustifiable now!

Now there are only seven points of compensation, and only six points can be matched. Previously, Constantine had said that one point that Bulgaria had given up was for the Russians, and they would naturally not mention it again.

From the perspective of estrangement, it is undoubtedly Belgium that was the first to be valued by Britain and France. This loyal younger brother, who has hit the dead country directly and has been firmly behind the boss, obviously cannot treat him badly.

Pungalai took the lead to fight for the younger brother: "According to the contributions made by various countries in the World War, our three countries will be the Russian Empire and Belgium. Personally, I recommend that the Russians take a 4.5% share and Belgium take a little The second share of compensation and the move of the Belgian border to the west bank of the Rhine are compensation for their contributions in this world war! "

After hesitating, Constantine said, "Is the Russian share too small? I suggest giving them five points. Everyone should look better and allow them to use German." Baltic sea ports, of course, this specific issue requires their own coordination with the Germans! "

This was Ferdinand's request. Although they wanted to pit the Russians, everyone was still an ally in the Ming Dynasty. The Tsarist government also helped Bulgaria in the past. Now this sentiment must be returned!

This has nothing to do with interest. Although the Tsarist government had ulterior motives at the time, Ferdinand still had to accept this sentiment, which should not make people feel that Bulgaria owed the Tsarist government.

Constantine's proposal surprised both of them. Out of the need to balance the strength of the three parties in Russia, they needed to limit the strength of Nicholas II. How could they help him?

Lloyd-George asked in amazement: "Mr. Constantine, have you changed your position on Russia?"

Konstantin said frankly: "No, Bulgaria's attitude has always been very clear on the issue of the Russians, but you know the relationship between Bulgaria and Russia, and we have to come forward to fight for their interests!

Out of the question of balancing the forces of all parties in Russia, I don't think this is a problem. Don't the Russians owe you foreign debts? Just let them pay your debt first to pay off your debts, and the result is still the same! "

The two did not oppose again. As long as the balance of the domestic tripartite forces in the Russians was not broken, the Russians would take a little more. Everyone also said that anyway, the money went into their pockets anyway.

Then Nicholas II was tortured. He originally thought that he could use the compensation obtained in this world war to start the united war. Now he has lost it before he can get it. Even this compensation may not be able to destroy Russia. People pay off British and French foreign debts!

In the end, Belgium received a point of compensation for the German war and another part of the territorial compensation. Their homeland was equivalent to an expansion of nearly a quarter. Presumably they did not have any opinions. For the Germans, thousands of square kilometers were gone. It will be gone, and there will be no injuries.

The remaining dozen countries shared the last point of compensation. The three big brothers have no interest in fighting for this specific amount, so let them deal with it!

Pungai thought for a while and said, "Now we can determine the exact amount of German compensation. According to the German economy, their gross national income in 1914 was 51.1 billion gold marks (approximately 2.5 billion pounds).

After accurate calculations by financial experts, if we can accept in-kind compensation, the Germans deduct basic needs, and their annual repayment capacity after government administrative expenses is 250 million gold marks (about 100 million pounds).

Therefore, their highest debt-bearing capacity is 41oo billion gold marks. Now the Germans still have some heavy industrial equipment and high-tech products. Overseas assets can also be used to settle debts. We will discount these real estates by 800 billion gold marks. They are still in the mine every year. Taking out 50 million tons of coal is a breeze, and their domestic gold reserves, etc. Taken together, we think that it is a reasonable figure for the Germans to pay 600 million gold marks! "

The calculation method of Pungalai is correct. Constantine never thought about it. He only noticed 600 million gold marks (about 29.34 billion pounds), which is equivalent to 214,000 tons of gold. God knows how the Germans can compensate. !!

Before waiting for Constantine to speak, Lloyd-George sneered and said, "Mr. Pungarai, are you sure your calculations are correct? Such a huge sum, I don't think the Germans have the ability to pay it!

Of course, if your country can guarantee that the Germans will be able to pay it, we have no opinion. If there is a shortfall, your country will make up for it! "

How could Poincare change his face and let the French government guarantee the German war reparations? How could this be possible? If he dares to promise, the angry people will not tear him back!

Besides, this number is originally nonsense. The number calculated by experts is based on the premise that Germans evenly distribute living materials. In fact, everyone knows that no country can really evenly distribute living materials. Waste of class is inevitable!

This also means that the Germans couldn't afford to pay the huge sum at all. The staring Pungalai said again: "Let the Germans pay 4.80 billion gold marks (about £ 100 million, equivalent to 173,000 tons of gold), is this number always within their range? "

Constantine's thoughts had drifted away. He was stunned by the usury empire's great efforts. He simply chose to shut up. Anyway, Ferdinand set him a bottom line of 800 million pounds. They are big bids. Just look at the excitement. Anyway, the more the Germans pay, the higher the Bulgarian debt can be sold!

Without the persistent bargaining of Americans in history, now how much can be cut by a John Bull alone? This is also a mystery. Of course, because German Poland does not have independence, the Germans now have better solvency than in history. .

Lloyd-George thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Pungai, haven't your experts considered the actual situation? Do you not know what Germany looks like now?

This war also brought a large number of casualties and huge economic losses to the Germans. Their actual solvency was not at its peak at all, and even giving them another ten years, they may not be able to recover to the economy of 1914. Level!

According to our economist calculations, the highest solvency of the Germans is only 9.8 billion pounds, which is 2 billion dollars.

If your country can draw an extra penny from the Germans, we have no objection, provided that you can guarantee for the Germans, otherwise please ask your country to come up with a sincere price! "

"Humph?"

Pungalai gave a cold drink and said, "It is impossible for us to guarantee our enemies. You still die!"

After speaking, the two started to stare at each other, and did not give up. This situation basically appeared many times a day, and finally Constantine came forward and became muddy.

Heaven and earth conscience, Constantine can guarantee that Bulgaria has not calculated the Germans' highest solvency, but he can still judge from the dispute between Britain and France that the Germans cannot afford this huge sum!

They ca n’t even get the shrinking version of the 2ooo billion gold mark. Unless someone gives them blood to continue their lives, the German economy ’s collapse after the war is God ’s blessing!

After contemplating for a while, Constantine said, "The two still give up. Considering the current economic situation of the Germans, I doubt how many years it will take before they can afford the interest!

If we insist, we will also extend their repayment period, otherwise they will not be able to afford it! "

After another two days of digging, everyone finally reached an agreement. The German's final compensation figure was determined to be 318.6 billion gold marks, an increase of 49.6 billion gold marks over history.

This astronomical figure is equivalent to 15.58 billion pounds, which is about 114,000 tons of gold. Anyway, Constantine said that he couldn't be hurt. Bulgaria has exhibited for so long. The sum of GNP from the founding of the country to the present may not be able to Ever this number!

Based on Germany's current economic situation, allowing them to eat and drink for ten years, and the loan was not clear, Constantine asked hesitantly: "How can the two Germans pay compensation? If it is gold In the case of foreign exchange, I think we will still be collecting accounts in the next century! "

Pungalai calmly said: "We can pay off in 99 years and let the Germans hand in 2o tons of new ships every year; 44oo tons of coal each year, 40 thousand heads of cattle, all industrial products produced in Germany. Half is almost enough!

Interest still refers to the standard monthly interest rate of 4.5% of Italy, and there is a late fee of one thousandth of the total compensation that is overdue every day! "

Is this interest high? In this era, it can't be too high, everyone's interest rate level is here!

If you look at it another time, this interest rate is really not high, at least it is much lower than the interest rate of bank loans in a later country. Late fees are not even comparable to credit cards. It is really conscience!

Lloyd-George nodded and said very cooperatively: "Mr. Poengale's proposal is good. According to this requirement, the Germans are likely to pay off the loan in advance!

In recent years, the Germans need to restore the economy. We can not rush to collect so many materials first, and the Germans have overseas assets. We can freeze their industries to offset the compensation.

In addition, there are many colonies in Germany. We can also deal with them at a discount. They also don't need them if they want to come to the merchant ship. We will requisition them first.

There are also German military industrial companies. If you are interested in heavy industry, you can also buy them back at a discount. The total value of these real estate is estimated to be 40-50 billion gold marks, but now the discount is at most 50% off!

Now all the companies in Germany can buy back at a discount as long as they are worthy. I think we can raise another 18 billion gold marks! "

Constantine nodded, it was nothing more than a sale of German assets. Naturally, he would not oppose it. It is a question whether he can find a buyer now. Besides, it is the Germans who suffer the most. What matters? Besides, maybe Bulgarian companies can take advantage of it?

Constantine thought about it and said, "Well then, let's just set up a German asset appraisal committee in our three countries and sell these redundant industries for them!"

There is no doubt that this profitable business fell into the bowl of three big brothers again. The factory worth ten million gold marks was sold by one million gold marks. Don't be surprised. This is already a good conscience. A little bit, maybe 100,000 gold marks may be sold!

This is the future of German companies. It can be said that this time the Germans fell and the capitalists of the three countries were full!

The specific distribution of benefits was not mentioned by everyone. Anyway, the people below will do a good job. With the industrial size of the Germans, it is not even one of them can eat it, and even three of them may not be swallowed at one go!

...

In the Royal Palace of Sofia, looking at the results of the negotiations returned by Constantine, Ferdinand was dumbfounded. It was not a matter of the amount of compensation. This time the amount of Bulgarian compensation was 100 million gold marks (about 1.714 billion pounds). It was far beyond Ferdinand's mind.

Nor is it a problem of selling German industries. For companies that sell Germans cheaply, everyone can make a profit. There is no need to quit! What he couldn't figure out was that Britain and France dared to let the Germans take out half of the industrial products every year to pay off the debt!

What is this doing? From Ferdinand's point of view, this is completely an enemy! This is equivalent to protecting the German industrial system for the benefit of the allies!

Even if some companies are split up by the three countries, this will only be a small part of high-tech industries or heavy industries. After all, the three countries are all industrial countries, and they have established their own systems, and they cannot connect with the German industrial system. !!

As long as the Allies have acquired half of the Germans ’industrial products, it can be imagined that German goods will be flooded in every corner of the world in the future, which is equivalent to promoting them for free, and also promoting the Germans’ industrial exhibitions invisibly. Cap!

Even the colonial market that the Germans desperately wanted to open in Britain and France is now open to themselves by Britain and France. Anyway, as long as the Germans hand over the industrial products to their debts, the problem of sales is their own problem!

At the same time, when the Allies used cheap German goods, they also squeezed the living space of domestic manufacturing. Ferdinand now understands why the industrial exhibitions in Britain and France after the First World War were all tortoises, and they were all pitted by their own people. died!

No wonder later, after Hitler came to power to stop the war compensation, the German economy ran as fast as it had started ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ It was easy to cross the Anglo-French sum. This is a Anglo-French injustice!

Knowing this serious consequence, Ferdinand was determined that German industrial and commercial products could never enter Bulgaria and failed. It was left to Britain and France to do the silly thing of squeezing their domestic manufacturing!

Even if it is cheaper, Ferdinand will not occupy it. No matter how much, Bulgaria ’s domestic manufacturing industry also occupies most of the country. If German industrial and commercial products are brought in, this will not only damage the national interest, but also him. Personal interests must also be compromised!

It is unbearable! Ferdinand immediately made up his mind that even if Bulgaria needed German products, they would go to the factory and build them!

Even if these debts are sold for a low price, or the British and French exchange for high prices into German colonies, it is absolutely impossible to let this kind of trouble to the country and the people be born in Bulgaria!
