"Wait a minute, I haven't finished." Seeing Grand Duke Baden hesitated. Crown Prince Ruprecht made a gesture and motioned to the other party to continue listening to his words: "The entire oil field was shot down by Bavaria. We can give up part of the oil exploitation rights. However, this cannot be given to some people for free. These payments must be discounted or used as capital in certain minerals! At the same time, other mines controlled by Bavaria will be handled in the same way during the transfer process."
"Then I would like to ask, are there any restrictions on participants during the transfer of these resources? In what way will Bavaria allocate these mineral resources and fixed assets?" Grand Duke Baden asked.
"There are no restrictions on participants. It can be a state, a company, or even an individual. As long as we can come up with our basic consideration. As for the specific list, I will give it after the meeting." Rupley Hit thought for a while and said.
Ruprecht is preparing to sell about half of his benefits. Naturally, these things cannot be given away for nothing. As a future king, what does Ruprecht need? On the one hand, it is money; on the other hand, it is an interest group that can share weal and woe with oneself! And through the mutual holding of capital, small groups will also be tied to the Bavarian chariot.
For example, what if the Württemberg royal family wants to buy a stake in a tungsten mine without sufficient funds? Bavaria can give some shares for free in exchange for political or administrative concessions. This is a kind of exchange of interests. Now, the Kingdom of Bavaria has a lot of bargaining chips in its hands, so it is natural to make good use of it!
"We accept this." Grand Duke Baden agreed very simply and neatly.
"If Bavaria is solely responsible for the sale of these assets, then the process is not transparent. We suggest that a supervisory committee should be formed to manage this matter." Albert jumped out again.
"I want to remind your Excellency that these assets now belong to Bavaria and have nothing to do with Prussia or the Empire! We decide who we want to sell to and what price we want to sell! Your Excellency is not talking about it. Is it free? Does a businessman have no freedom to dispose of his own goods? Can the imperial government control how the states below dispose of their assets?" Crown Prince Ruprecht sneered.
"Because of the unfriendly attitude of your Excellency and the Social Democratic Party, I now decide to make some changes. That is, all the properties under the name of Bavaria must include an additional agreement in the sales agreement. All Social Democratic personnel will not be Welcome!" The crown prince's counterattack came directly! And when this sentence was uttered, it caused a commotion in the audience.
"You are blatant discrimination! You violated the constitution of the empire!" Albert said angrily.
"The Empire Constitution does not have this article. In addition, everyone present who agrees with my opinion can raise their left hand to vote. Those who oppose it can raise their right hand!" Ruprecht finished speaking, raising his left hand. As soon as the words fell, the Grand Duke of Baden, Württemberg Albrecht and the King of Saxony raised their left hands first, and then representatives of the Bavarian and Kaiser families also raised their left hands one after another.
What about parliamentarians? Except for Albert's lone person, even his former allies did not choose to stand by Albert's side. They did not raise their hands and said that they abstained would already give Albert a lot of face!
"I have never seen such an overbearing behavior! This is a blatant provocation of the imperial council..." Feeling that I have fallen into isolation, looking at the despised, gloating, and indifferent people in the entire venue. Albert only felt that his blood was surging, and his face was as pale as an eggplant.
"Well, in that case, then this resolution is passed." Ruprecht said with a smile. Then the crown prince glanced at Albert, who was a little frustrated, and continued: "I want to remind Mr. Albert. The venue must be quiet. If you continue to make loud noises, then I can only ask my guard to ask you to go out and calm down. Up."
In fact, the actual effect of this ban is very general. After all, if the Social Democratic Party wants to participate, they can instruct others to participate, and it is really not possible. Temporary withdrawal from the party is also possible. It is not too difficult for them to avoid this restriction. (The premise is that Bavaria is not serious, otherwise it is possible to come up with a stricter agreement, or if you are looking for trouble.) The most important thing is that this is a signal, a signal that shows the attitude of the Kingdom of Bavaria and the crown prince himself. .
There is a saying in later generations. When you can use your own attitude to make money or influence others, you are a successful person. As the most successful crown prince in Germany and Europe, his attitude is obviously A lot of people are affected. Apart from others, those in Germany and Austro-Hungary who want to contact the Social Democratic Party should first think about it Will this cause dissatisfaction with the Bavarian royal family? You know, at the level of the crown prince, there is no need to deliberately target it, it is enough to make those self-righteous people unable to eat! For this reason, Grand Duke Baden said that he would cooperate fully...
When things get to this point, the dust has already settled. All the mines sold in Bavaria account for about half of the mines in the current controlled area. Of course, some resources may be controlled more, some less, such as Baku oil. Bavaria controls 70%. Some important non-ferrous metals, aluminum ore, copper ore, etc., which are relatively scarce in China, should be controlled more. Other coal mines and iron ore are sold more. Don’t think that these are not profitable. , You know, the area of Germany is very large now, and the Transcaucasus region is thousands of miles away from the German mainland. It is obviously impossible to rely on coal mines in the Ruhr area for supply.
what? Did you say that oil can be burned directly? Please! Oil is very valuable. Isn't it a waste of resources if heavy oil is mined and burned? Therefore, the fuel for life and production in the Caucasus still relies on coal. So if you look at it only from an economic point of view, these coal and iron ore and the like can still make a lot of money, even without considering transportation issues, they are produced and sold directly.
It takes a long time to deal with these mineral resources. After all, everyone is here to talk about major issues, not for business. So these things will naturally be dealt with slowly later. After allocating the benefits of mineral resources, the remaining thing to do is the safety of Transcaucasus.
