"Can't we use other methods to get these loans?" Count Schelling asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Something else? The Americans are very sophisticated, they know that we are going to war with the Allies, so it is impossible for them to hold a large amount of German assets in their hands, if we talk about overseas assets and investments, we are far inferior to Britain and France, their control of the outer sea is not only reflected in the vast colonies, and the economic interests attached to the resources and markets of the colonies, but they are also the makers of international financial rules, and they are also the largest creditors of the United States, so the Americans would rather hold the pound and the franc than accept the mark. ”

"We can't use gold and silver to endorse U.S. loans, can we? Germany's gold reserves, which were already limited, and which to some extent would be used as a means of payment and purchase funds within the Allies during the war, could not have been used up before the war effort, and how could they have been consumed before then? So we can't help it! Ruprecht said.

"Of course, the most important thing is that once the war starts, our overseas assets will soon be swallowed up by the Entente countries, not to mention Britain, France and Russia, Japan will also have a piece of the pie, and those so-called neutral countries will also intend to take a piece of the pie from us in various names, and for this kind of thing, we have no way, rather than cheapening these jackals, it is better to give them to the Americans as collateral. At the very least, it will reduce our debts and at the same time provide a guarantee for our access to resources in wartime. ”

"Think about it, for those assets located in neutral countries, we can convert them into real money to reduce our debts with just a declaration or a formality, and Britain and France will never relax easily on certain assets, which are as important to Britain and France as they are to the United States, and the competition for these assets will inevitably lead to tension between the two sides. This is a good deal, both politically and economically. ”

"Doing so will lead to political instability in the country! In this way, the government used the assets of those factory owners and financiers as collateral for the war! Of course, Kaiser Wilhelm would have provided these people with an IOU, or set it as a domestic debt, but this element of instability has already been buried, and it may not be anything in peacetime, but once a war breaks out, if these people do something, it will be a very difficult and even catastrophic thing for the Empire! Count Schelling said.

"The problem? How so? If Germany wins, then they still have a chance to compensate for what they have lost, but what if they lose? They won't get anything. Even if they have grievances, they should know that they are tied to the interests of the empire. So it's going to be fine. Ruprecht frowned slightly, and then said.

"Well, what you say is logically impeccable, but I don't think it's really foolproof, you don't have much contact with those capitalists, you don't know much about their greed and power, they only care about profits, they don't care about the country, and in some cases they may even cooperate with the enemy, and their power is very strong, their resources and products are very important for the military, they are good at agitation and propaganda, sometimes the regime will not necessarily be overthrown by military force."

"Think about it, when our army is fighting on the front line, if there is a big upheaval in the rear, then what are we going to do? Will it continue to fend off the enemy head-on, or will it turn around and suppress the rebellion? And will our army really follow the orders of the emperor and you in this situation? Count Schelling said worriedly.

Ruprecht's eyebrows couldn't help but jump slightly, but Count Schelling's answer was a little unexpected for him. Because what Count Schelling said about the situation is indeed possible, during the war, the will of the Germans may not be so strong, or, in addition to England, in the First World War, France, Germany and Russia all had mutinies or revolutions, France was in the way, and Russia and Germany were finished! Of course, the main reason for this is the defeat on the battlefield, but from the subsequent point of view, the German bourgeoisie can still have considerable military power at its disposal in wartime. In other words, they have the possibility of a mutiny!

You must know that the November Revolution in Germany was the result of the simultaneous operation of the bourgeoisie and communism, and even the establishment of Soviet power in the Kingdom of Bavaria! A Red Guard of 30,000 people was created, but what was the result? Comrade Lenin sent a congratulatory telegram on April 17, 1919, and the German government's 60,000 troops surrounded Munich on April 30, and then the war ended on May 3.......

The first president of the Weimar Republic, the chairman of the German Social Democratic Party, Friedrich . How could the first president of the Weimar Republic accomplish this task, not only against forces such as the Bavarian Soviet government, but also against dissident members such as the SPD's left-wing Spartacus coalition, and at the same time the free-freaks were mercenary? And the biggest supporters behind them can only be the German bourgeoisie and the German army,

In the final stage of World War I, the Kaiser saw that the situation could not continue, and once planned to establish a constitutional monarchy to tide over the crisis, and even prepared to be the king of Prussia not as the German emperor, but also as the king of Prussia, at that time the upper and some middle classes of German society also had the idea of hoping that the empire could continue, and these did not prevent the rebellion in the rear, the German November Revolution took out the Second German Reich, and then the Social Democrats and the Army in the Weimar Republic took out the red forces in Germany. The end result was that the big bourgeoisie took control of the securities and the financial system within the German Army was preserved. The army became a state within a state. What a deal! And for ****, this is obviously impossible to accept!

Historically, in the face of increasing internal and external pressure, the Kaiser is very likely to give in, and one thing that can be determined is that although the external environment in Germany is much better, the domestic situation will still be relatively bad, and the possibility of a forced palace and a coup (d'état) is still very large, and once the Kaiser gives in, the impact will be very far-reaching, and it is impossible for Bavaria not to suffer losses.

At least in the eyes of Count Schelling, Prussia and Bavaria were one, and if a revolution broke out because of the instigation of some people, everyone would be doomed! Judging from the fact that Count Schelling can see that other forces in the country have the ability and ambition to realize the change of state power, His Royal Highness ****'s evaluation of Count Schelling will be raised by several levels! This buddy's eyes are so poisonous!

"This is something that the Kaiser considers, and we don't need to bother, or it is useless to bother. But what you say, I'll think about it seriously. After thinking for a moment, **** gave an ambiguous answer.
