Chapter 775： Near East War ends

On July 12, 1883, the Russians captured Ankara, the Ottoman capital, and captured the prime minister, Middlehart. The Ottoman Empire was officially declared dead.

From Vienna to St. Petersburg, they are immersed in the joy of victory, and various celebrations are continuously performed.

To commemorate this great victory, Franz, who did not like the banquet, personally held a celebration party and even wanted to have an ancestor worship event.

Anyway, the tradition is used to break it. The Holy See has been declining this year, and it has no ability to point at it.

Just thinking about the traditional funeral of the Habsburgs, Franz did not sacrifice his ancestors.

After the death of members of the Habsburg dynasty, the body was buried in three places. The heart was placed in the Augustinian church, the internal organs were stored in Stephen's Cathedral, and the bodies were buried in the royal tomb under the Capzina church **.

Not to mention, it is a question of which one of the three churches to choose. Be aware that these three have different symbolic meanings, and any church chosen will be interpreted politically by the outside world.

Franz, who was afraid of the trouble, abandoned the plan directly.

On the whole, the Near East War was smooth. The only regret is that Abdul Hamid II is missing, making this victory not so perfect.

However, this is only a minor problem. Even if he escaped, Abdul Hamid II was unable to return to the sky, and he did not even dare to make a public appearance.

Exile is not something every monarch can do. The Ottoman emperor is not only a secular emperor, but also a religious leader.

Perhaps Franz, who is also a monarch, is not good at killing everything, but when this kind of pain hits the water dog, the church will certainly not miss the opportunity to brush the sense of existence.

Affected by religion, even if the British government wants to do something, it is impossible to support the restoration of Abdul Hamid II.

No, there should be no place for restoration. Once the population migration is completed, there will be no Ottomans on the land of the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottomans will not be the Ottoman Empire.

...

Foreign Minister Weissenberg submitted a document to Franz, saying, "Your Majesty, this is a request made by the Tsar government regarding the distribution of the fruits of victory after the war.

Generally speaking, it was an area agreed before the war. At the same time, the Russians also proposed another plan. As long as we are willing to pay cash, they can give up some of the booty. "

Hearing this news, Franz's first reaction was that he heard it wrong. The Tsar government actually gave up greed for the land?

He did not accept this fact until after receiving the documents and seeing similar terms.

Franz, who has seen strong winds and waves, naturally won't be stunned by this stuffing cake. When he calms down and asks, "Do you know why?"

Chancellor of the Exchequer Carl replied: "Your Majesty, I think this problem can be attributed to finances.

By agreement, the Russians could get less than half the Asia Minor Peninsula, but these areas have been ruined due to war.

In the short term, there will be no return in these areas. Not only do they need to station troops to maintain local stability, but they must also invest a lot of money for post-war reconstruction.

If the tsarist government obtains these areas, it will have to increase the expenditure of at least 15 million Aegis each year, and it will be difficult to achieve a balance of payments within ten years.

Given the financial situation of the Tsarist government, they simply cannot afford the expenses, and it is absolutely necessary to sell them to us.

In order to obtain resettlement fees and improve distressed finances, the Tsarist government has also aggressively accepted Ottomans in our control area.

So far, we have paid the resettlement fees of 2386 Aegis for the Russians, all of whom have been resettled in the current Russian military-controlled area.

If the territorial deal succeeds, we must move the Ottomans across the Asia Minor Peninsula.

Russians not only receive land transfer fees, but also large resettlement fees. Even the immigrants they received earlier can receive resettlement fees again.

I very much doubt that the Tsarist government will put forward additional conditions to directly cover resettlement work.

It's not too much difficulty for them. Siberia and the Far East have large tracts of land for resettlement. Although the conditions are a little bit worse, it is harmless. "

Hearing this explanation, Franz admired the business acumen of the Czar government. According to the previous agreement, the Russians have completed a resettlement.

Although the people were still in the Asia Minor Peninsula, the Vienna government only provided for the sphere of influence to send people out of Austria. At that time, there was no territorial transaction and the Russians had already fulfilled the contract.

Knowing that it has suffered, the Vienna government cannot say anything. International politics is like gambling. When you are at the table, you have the willingness to gamble and lose.

Franz smiled slightly: "If it's finances, talk to the Russians about the price.

Strengthening the Russians was originally within the scope of our plan, but now it is just a little bit ahead of schedule. "

The Asia Minor Peninsula is a burden to the Tsarist government and financially incapable, but not to Austria.

Although it is impossible to obtain any economic benefits in the short term and it is necessary to invest a lot of funds, the strategic significance is extraordinary.

Having won here, it is not just to be integrated with the Middle East, but more importantly to have a stable rear.

As long as millions of local immigrants passed and took complete control of the area, Franz would no longer have to worry about being blocked.

"Enhancing strength" and "enhancing national strength" are two concepts. Franz is only preparing to enhance the strength of the Tsarist government, not to strengthen the national strength of the Russian Empire.

So this help will test your skills. It is naturally impossible to help the Tsarist government complete industrialization.

Even if it is to help, it is to help them complete the industrialization similar to the Mexican model of later generations.

Simply put, it is the scenery on the surface, it seems to have completed the industrialization, which is essentially a large assembly plant, all core parts are imported.

The Russians are not stupid and do not make them look strong. How can they let them have the ambition to peek into the subcontinent?

Foreign Minister Weissenberg reminded: "His Majesty, our negotiations with the British have also begun. If news of trading in the Asia Minor Peninsula is heard at this time, I am afraid it will cause another storm."

British poops are annoying, but I really ca n’t take them anymore these years. Maybe they can't do anything about Austria, but nausea is definitely a strength.

Besides, once terrible sticks are involved, this territorial transaction will be difficult to proceed smoothly. Even if an agreement is reached, the Vienna government will add additional costs.

After pondering for a moment, Franz made the decision: "To authorize the Minister in Russia to negotiate directly with the Tsarist government, the speed must be fast, and the deal must be reached before the British can react.

In addition to cash compensation, we can help the Russians rebuild their navy.

Tell the Russians that if the deal is reached within a week, we give them five additional battleships.

Moreover, these warships may not be delivered immediately, and they can inform us when they want. "

Franz was not prepared to lower prices. Starting with the relocation of people on the Asia Minor Peninsula, the Tsarist government knew the importance the Vienna government attached to the area.

The tsarist government's sale of these areas is essentially to sell a good price and make up for the fiscal deficit. It is simply impossible to reduce prices.

Giving away five battleships is actually a markup in disguise. Intentionally setting a time limit is also a negotiation strategy.

The difference is that Austria's former Dreadnoughts are about to launch, and these old battleships are about to retire.

Five battleships that are behind the times and about to be eliminated, and eight state-of-the-art battleships are not a concept at all.

Taking advantage of the fact that the information on the two sides is not equal, using the different prices in everyone's hearts, the Russians were misled to overestimate the value of these warships in order to reduce the cost of land purchase.

To know that the Austrian Navy now has a full 36 battleships, God knows where to find so many Panxias.

No one answered the question. After the new round of naval arms race broke out, most of these warships had to dismantle and sell scrap iron.

...

The territorial transaction between Russia and Austria is only one of the episodes after the end of the Near East War. More aftercare issues need to be resolved by the Vienna government.

It is easy to handle internationally. Ottoman is enough to attract people to hate. No one shouts for them. The pressure of public opinion basically does not exist.

The European people are celebrating this great victory. Even if some people are upset, that's only a handful.

The trouble is the post-war reconstruction, the locals have moved away, and somebody has to replace them. Without enough population, post-war reconstruction is a joke.

Franz's desk is already full of plans, what immigration relocation plan, Baghdad railway plan, Dardanelles Strait Bridge plan ...

Looking at the myriad plans, Franz's head was big for a while. Every day soaked in the documents, the hairline moved back a few points, and if this continues, he will be bald for years.

There is no way, the emperor is not good. It wasn't Franz's greed for power, it was just something he had to ask himself.

People in different eras look at problems very differently. At this time, the plan that looks very beautiful may be a huge hidden danger in the future.

For example, the Dardanelle Bridge, according to the plan of the Ministry of Railways, this bridge will only serve the railway, and only a carriage carriageway will be added.

In the short term, it will be enough. After the car becomes popular, it will soon be scrapped and restarted.
