章 140: 140
Only after the special envoy Romaniya returned to China did he realize that he had been fooled. However, the agreement had been signed and it was too late to regret it.
Moreover, their prisoners of war are still being held in the hands of the German army. If they dare to go back on their word, these hundreds of thousands of people will never want to come back.
King Ferdinand I was very angry and scolded the envoy, but scolding could not solve the problem. At this time, the agreement between the two parties was signed, and everything was over!
"How much money is left in our treasury?"
After realizing that it was impossible to go back on his words, Ferdinand I was ready to accept the reality.
The Minister of Finance frowned and said to the king with a crying face:"Your Majesty, there is no money in our treasury. Last year's The fiscal revenue has been used to expand the military and prepare for war and to pay your ransom. Now the treasury is empty and rats can run away!"
"What? No money?"
King Ferdinand I turned pale when he heard the news!
This news was like a bolt from the blue to him!
The treasury had no money, so how could he redeem his army?
"Go ask the Hansi people and see if they can accept other things in lieu of cash. We have a lot of grain, livestock and minerals in the country. If they are willing to accept these things, we can use these things to redeem people!"
Romania is a backward agricultural country, and the only thing it can produce is domestic agricultural products.
Hans has a large population and very developed industry, but its agriculture is not very advanced, so they have always been the food of Eastern European countries. A major exporter, Ferdinand I is also a major buyer of various minerals exported by various countries!
Ferdinand I is a Hansian, so he knows the situation in Hans very well. This method he proposed is considered to be the only feasible one at present. There is a way!
The news quickly spread to Hamburg. Mainz had no intention of asking for the Romanians' cash. To be honest, the business network in North America is currently very effective. General Group and Johnson & Johnson The development speed is very rapid, and the Essenk Mobil Oil Company in the south is gradually getting on the right track. These companies can bring him a lot of profits every year. He is not short of money now.
But because of Hans' awkward geographical location. , so Hans is relatively lacking in mineral resources. After Alsace and Lorraine were taken away by the Gauls, the situation became more serious. Therefore, Mainz early focused on Czech and Rome next to it. Niaga and other countries.
The coal mines in Jieke, the oil and natural gas in Romaniya are all resources that he cares about!
Compared with the coal mines in Jieke, the oil in Romaniya is obviously more important to Hans. It's more important, so Mainz has already taken the bait. The reason why they don't release these prisoners of war is to wait for the other party to take the bait.
Didn't the Romanians take the bait
? After receiving the telegram of inquiry from Romania, Mainz was unambiguous and directly told the Romani people that they hoped to obtain the mineral mining rights around Ploiesti!
When this telegram was sent to King Feidi of Romania, , he immediately understood the intentions of the Hans people!
"They are eyeing our oil!"
There are oil fields in the Ploiesti area. This is something that many people in Romania know.
However, because Romania's self-employment level is too backward and they cannot afford foreign oil extraction equipment, they Although we know that there is oil here, we have never been able to mine it ourselves.
In addition, the importance of oil in this era has not been taken seriously by people.
Except for the booming automobile development in North America, which has led to increasing attention to oil, other regions have also paid more and more attention to oil.
The value is not fully understood.
Moreover, in this era, coal is the main fuel.
Oil is difficult to extract and costly.
Compared with coal, it has no economic benefits at all.
It is not as widely used as coal, so it is naturally not taken seriously!
, Ferdinand I was still a little happy in his heart. If the Hans people valued their gold mines or coal mines, he might not be happy, but the Hans people valued their oil fields, so it would be okay. So
, under the instruction of King Ferdinand I, the two sides quickly conducted careful and comprehensive negotiations, and the Romanians authorized the transfer of the oil field mining rights in the Ploiesti area to Hans, allowing them to Oil was mined here for 50 years, and the oil they mined was used to offset the debt of 150 million pounds in the first 20 years, and was sold to Hans at market prices in the next 30 years.
The authorization transfer agreement was quickly signed.
The German army obtained the 0-year mining rights of the Ploiesti oil field, and Ferdinand I also redeemed his army as he wished.
This made both parties very satisfied, and they felt very good about each other.
King Ferdinand I even invited Hans to invest in Romania, set up factories, and mine minerals.
He also said that he would give Hans' investors some preferential treatment for the sake of his family.
Mainz did not refuse the invitation, but he did not choose to invest in Romania's industry.
Instead, he gave priority to investing in minerals and agriculture.
The two parties signed a series of related agreements, stipulating that each party would receive a share of the mined minerals. Half, after ten years of mining, the mine was handed over to the Romanian government and put under their control!
Both parties to this agreement were also very satisfied. For Hans, within ten years, they could get their own industry for free and stably. The required minerals.
For Romaniya, they can develop minerals that the country is not capable of developing for free without investing a penny, and they can also get half of the output, which is okay. Sell Hans directly to earn foreign exchange. When the agreement expires in ten years, they will be able to take over these mines that have been in operation for ten years. By then, all the profits will be their own. This is simply a free hand. Wolf!
If King Ferdinand I knew what economic colonization was, he probably wouldn't be so happy, but sometimes the more you know, the less happy you are.
Ignorance is a blessing!
After the various agreements with Romania were reached, there was a wave of people going to work in Romania.
A large number of workers with work experience were recruited and got stable jobs with good salaries.
Low-priced agricultural products from Nigeria also entered Hans' country with the completion of the agreement.
The arrival of these agricultural products also lowered the domestic price level of Hans, greatly reducing the inflationary pressure of Hans.
However, because of the loss of support from the military industry, there are still as many as 4 million unemployed workers in Hansi!
For a country with a total population of only 80 million, four million unemployed people is a very scary number!
These unemployed workers wander around various cities, bringing great pressure to social security everywhere.
In the first half of 1921 alone, there were thousands of robberies, murders and even riots in various places!
The occurrence of these things brought great social pressure to the government of the Weimar Republic!
Faced with this chaos, President Hindenburg summoned Mainz, the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, to the capital and told him in front of him:"We cannot continue to be chaotic like this, and we must stabilize the situation as soon as possible!""
"What are you going to do?"
Mainz's expression was equally serious. Social unrest can endanger a country's security and stability, and even subvert a country's political power. This kind of thing often happened 70 years later during the disintegration of the Mao Xiong and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe. He still remembers this!
"Increase the number of troops and police to severely crack down on illegal and criminal activities in the country. When necessary, thunderous measures can be used!"
Mainz took a breath of cold air, Hindenburg is going to carry out a severe crackdown!
