The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven

Vol 2 Chapter 32: idiots, geniuses and madmen

But now, Adjani has a new task.

The senior officials of the Polish National Restoration Army received exact information that Grand Duke Franz Karl brought 7 million expected banknotes into the Schönbrunn Palace.

The high-level officials decided to let the Violet Knights take over the mission to find out and find Franz Karl's money.

This money was used to support the widows and their children of the victims of the Polish Uprising in 1830, to help them tide over the difficulties, and it was reserved as a fund for the great cause of the restoration of Poland.

Ajani's Violet Knights excluded those who wanted to forget the past after getting married, and there were still 23 people, of which six were special and could not participate in the operation for the time being, and two were injured and could not participate either.

Among the remaining members of the Order was a young girl whom she particularly liked, named Caroline.

But she prefers to kill enemies physically rather than intelligently. And vases and porcelain are Caroline's weapons, which are very effective for smashing people, but every time they are used, a lot of physical evidence will be left on the scene.

Caroline had no problem pretending to be a prostitute in a dark alley, or working as a waitress in a noisy bar.

But it is difficult for Caroline to wander in the upper class and play tricks with the nobles.

In fact, Archduke Franz Karl welcomes as long as he drinks.

Adjani herself is very dissatisfied with the high-level of the Polish Restoration Army. Over the years, she has led the sisters of the Violet Knights and tried her best to raise funds for the Polish Restoration Army.

Sometimes they pretend to be a song and dance troupe, they can perform songs and dances, they can also rob houses, and they can even deceive and set up tricks. It can be said that they use everything.

But those politicians and military officers who keep saying that they want to restore the country are just enjoying the benefits of good reputation. Some people even use the funds of the restoration army to keep mistresses in Paris and live a luxurious life.

The war has been over for five years, and the high-level officials never thought of going to war with Russia. They just kept going around borrowing money in the name of the Polish Restoration Army, and letting those who wanted to restore the country do some dirty work for them.

These people have long forgotten the hatred of the country and the family, and the compatriots who are still digging potatoes in Siberia..

But Ajani still took over this task, because the 7 million florins can make those Polish people in exile live a good life for a few years. Fight for the power that those poor people deserve.

Now the Polish Restoration Army has 3,000 people in name, but it needs to run around for the livelihood of 20,000 exiles.

Archduke Franz Karl, some people say he is an idiot, some people say he is a genius, and now some even say he is a hidden careerist.

However, people in Vienna generally believed that the Grand Duke was a lunatic. After all, an incomprehensible genius is a lunatic.

Archduke Franz would look for wild boars on the streets of Vienna with a shotgun, and he would be able to silence a social elite under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people. To be adored by a man as proud as Baron Brooke.

Adjani has met Archduke Franz Karl several times, and this man seems to have nothing but wine in his eyes.

If there is, it must be hunting. If this kind of person is an assassination target, it will be easy to catch, because he will often leave the team and go hunting in different places.

But it was not easy to get that money from Franz Karl. After all, stealing the Grand Duke's money was two completely different things from kidnapping an heir to the throne.

Moreover, the guards of Archduke Franz Karl will not be easy to get.

Regarding this Grand Duke Franz Karl, Adjani has also heard some rumors, that is, he used 3 million florins to earn 67 million in the United States (not dollars, but converted into florins used in Austria) , and escaped successfully.

Not only did a lot of speculators and bankers lose their fortunes, but it also won the admiration of countless economists.

After that, 67 million coins and precious metals were all deposited in the Austrian Imperial Chartered Bank.

The Austrian Imperial Chartered Bank is not a certain bank, but a financial freak produced in a special period.

It performs many central bank functions, but it cannot be called a central bank. To be precise, it should be a monster that appeared after a compromise between a group of financiers hired by Austria and domestic bankers.

The 67 million real money immediately boosted Austria's confidence in the bank, so the run did not last long in Austria.

After that, he used the expected banknotes in exchange to kill all directions in the Austrian stock market with another Archduke Karl, and successfully bought the Austrian railways.

Franz Carr bought at a third of the high and the stock was back at the high within a week of his purchase.

What Adjani admires the most is not the Grand Duke's success in bottom-hunting and making a lot of money, but the Grand Duke's courage.

In a financial tsunami, no one wants to take the risk of putting money in the bank.

Because most of the banks at this time are private in nature, it is determined that once the bank goes bankrupt, the depositors will lose all their money.

And he is willing to take such a huge risk and deposit huge wealth in the bank.

You must know that although Archduke Franz Karl is a member of the royal family, the royal family and the imperial government belong to two concepts~www.wuxiahere.com~ He can use this money to do many things, spend a lot of money, and even buy everything he wants thing.

Adjani admired this spirit of daring to take risks and contribute to the country. She couldn't help thinking, it would be great if the top leaders of the Polish Restoration Army also had this spirit.

In fact, what Ajani didn’t know was that after the money was deposited in the Austrian Imperial Chartered Bank, a large number of creditors would come to collect the debts. However, the Austrian Imperial Chartered Bank’s consistent attitude is to give interest to part of the expected banknotes when they are due, and no Let's talk about it when it's due.

And these expected banknotes are not paid in one lump sum, but paid in batches within ten years.

It was precisely because Franz knew about the rogue operations of the Austrian Imperial Charter Bank that he dared to deposit money without any scruples, and he was not afraid that someone would withdraw the money to save Prussia or France.

You must know that it was precisely because of this rogue approach that the Austrian imperial government was saved from bankruptcy, and even killed a large number of creditors.

The Austrian railway company has money and the backing of the royal family, so it will naturally start construction again with great fanfare.

At this time, the three railways from Vienna to Dresden, Vienna to Graz, and Graz to Udine have been completed.

Among them, the railway to Dresden is the busiest railway in the entire Austrian Empire and even the entire German Zolluge.

The railway has reduced the cost of transportation by 60%. It used to take ten days, but now it only takes half a day.

At this pace, the Prague-Bavaria-Bayreuth railway and the Udine-Venice railway will both be completed next year.

In this way, the German Northern Railway in Austria is basically completed, and the railway to Venice will further strengthen Austria's control over northern Italy.
