Chapter 202: Entertainment Items
The support of the Czech principality was very important for Hungary, especially militarily, the Hungarian government borrowed 3 million pounds from the Royal Czech Bank, and then reached a 2 million pound deal with the Czech principality for army equipment, for which the Hungarian military formed five new army divisions.
The five army divisions are not much, but they are used in key places enough to affect the whole country, and in the process of the formation of the five army divisions, the cabinet government has strongly blocked and protested. Some cabinet ministers said that Hungary's finances were not enough to support five army divisions, while others said that it could easily provoke hostility from neighboring countries, and that the purpose of the dissenting opinions was one after another, but in fact they were only worried that the strength of the Messimilians would eventually harm their own interests.
The dictatorship of the Grand Duke of the Czech Duchy was not what they wanted to see, so why were they so afraid of Ernst becoming King of Hungary? The fundamental reason is not that they are afraid of this, an independent cabinet government is a cabinet government, and if it is controlled by the royal family, then the cabinet government is the eagle dog of the royal family, which is not the result they want.
The Hungarian nobles and generals plotted how to force Messimilian to compromise with them, but at this time the Czech principality suddenly increased its troops on the border, and although there was a Slovak between them, the Hungarian nobles and generals did not feel the slightest sense of security.
Luring the wolf into the house, this is the only sentence in the hearts of the Hungarian nobles and officials and generals at this time, how can they agree to become the king of Hungary because of their incomparable remorse and remorse? Fortunately, they had not attracted a fat sheep but a wolf in sheep's clothing.
There is very little that can be done for £3 million, but it is not a problem to get Mysimilian to establish himself in Hungary for the time being, and the formation of five army divisions is quite a long time. What Messimilian was going to do was to make these 5 army divisions attract the attention of the Hungarian aristocracy.
Mysimilian came with 3 million pounds, and although he spent 2 million pounds to buy arms, the remaining 1 million pounds was also a huge amount of money for the devastated Kingdom of Hungary, which was enough for Messimilian to secretly promote a lot of things that were beneficial to himimilians.
The first thing to do was to rectify the road problems in the Hungarian kingdom, which required a lot of manual labor, and a large number of laborers were recruited in the name of the royal family, which would give Mesimilian a high prestige in Hungary, at least among ordinary citizens.
The materials for road repairs are purchased by the Czech Principality, which promotes the market for materials in the Czech Principality and saves itself a lot of road repair costs, after all, with the support of ERNST, these materials can be halved or even paid for after the completion of the project.
Mysimilian was busy reorganizing the Kingdom of Hungary, and Ernst began to prepare for the departure of Count Álvaro, the commission of the King of Italy had been completed, and the Count of Alvaro, who had lived in Prague for more than half a month, finally had time to leave.
For more than half a month, Ernst did not say much to Mara, which made her very sad and sad, and at the same time she was a little annoyed with Ernst, but it was inevitable that Ernst had no solution.
During the time that Count Alvaro lived in Prague, he did not actually communicate much with Ernst, because most of the time except for the first two days Ernst was busy with the fact that Misimilian became King of Hungary. Speaking of which, Maria spent a lot of time with the family, and spent the rest of the day accompanying them on a tour of Prague except for a few days in Hungary.
Secretly Ernst also introduced Count Alvaro to Jessica, after all, Ernst proposed that Count Alvaro invest in the film industry, this industry Jessica is undoubtedly a veteran, and knowing her will have many benefits for Count Alvaro, at least to avoid some detours.
When it comes to the film industry, Ernst can't help but make some professional changes to the festival in Prague in his free time, which is more and more just, fair, and free from discrimination and targeting by the nation-state. However, Ernst's actions did not seem to be welcomed by the local film companies in Prague, after all, they were harming their interests.
For example, the original Prague Film Festival won a full score of 100 points, so Prague's local films had a local advantage of 10 points at the beginning, but now it is good, Ernst is equivalent to directly beating them to the same level as other local and national films, which makes Prague's film companies very dissatisfied.
Of course, this kind of dissatisfaction is only a small part, and compared to the world's film companies, this small dissatisfaction is not only not a bad thing, but also a big good thing, after all, it also proves that the Prague Film Festival is indeed a fair and just award.
"There's an ice hockey game in Prague this morning, how's it going, are you interested?"
It was Ernst at the breakfast table who spoke, and the person he spoke to was the family of Count Alvaro, and Prague was holding an ice hockey game before parting, which was also a little lively before parting!
It is rare to be accompanied by Ernst, Count Álvaro naturally will not refuse, Countess Mosetti glanced at her daughter Mara, and then looked at Ernst, and couldn't help but hesitate, but thinking that Maria would probably follow, she finally made up her mind to agree to watch the ice hockey game.
Mara was very happy, because she saw it as an opportunity, a chance to show her heart, although she felt a little embarrassed to think about it, after all, she was a little girl's family.
Ice hockey kicks off at 9 a.m. at Prague's Central Stadium, a stadium that can host major national events, with a total investment of more than £600,000 at the time, and the cabinet would not have agreed to such a project if it were not for Ernst's strong push.
The Czech Principality is a sports power, athletics, skating, football, ice hockey are the strength of the Czech Principality, during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, when the Czech Principality was still a Czech region, they won a lot of sports honors for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and in the years after the establishment of the Czech Principality, although the war overshadowed everything, the Czech Principality still won a number of gold medals.
The Czech Republic is a sports power, a well-deserved sports power, especially when Ernst closely linked sports and the economy, and the sports of the Czech principality have received too many people's attention. Among other things, the sports gambling industry attracts at least several hundred thousand Czech citizens every year.
In 1916, when the world war was still going on, the Czech Principality set a record for the first industry award, and the Czech national team kicked out a millionaire with a real prize of three million pounds! It was at that moment that the ** industry of the Czech principality directly made European gambling lovers remember it in their hearts.
Three million pounds, that's three million pounds, the price of a battleship goes straight to a man who, a day ago, was so depressed that he didn't know where to eat. In just one day, the impoverished almost beggar became a millionaire, one of the richest people in all of Europe.
Some media say this is hype, some people say that this is a conspiracy of the Czech principality, but the three million pounds are there, it is the truth, no matter how much you say and how methodical you say, you can't stop those guys who have been forced red by money, they are like wolves and go straight to the ** industry of the Czech principality.
When Ernst and Count Alvaro's family came to the outside of the stadium, there were already more than 5,000 fans in the stadium, which was the data given by the person in charge of the stadium and counted by selling tickets.
Count Alvaro was also very fond of ice hockey, and even when he was in Italy, he was an amateur player in ice hockey, but his status and status were destined to have few opportunities to play. The same is true for Mara, but her attention is still mainly on Ernst.
The life of the aristocracy may be to feast, hunt, sleep, attend banquets again, hunt again, and sleep again, but in fact, this is also the reason for the lack of entertainment industry in this era. Of course, if it weren't for this, Ernst wouldn't have been given so many opportunities, and you must know that the last thing he lacked from his previous life was entertainment.
In 1919, the Czech Principality was preparing to launch more than 20 entertainment projects, and more than a dozen singers were selected to perform on a tour throughout the Czech Principality. Let their beautiful singing voices and sexy bodies show off to the citizens of the whole country, and at the same time, it also adds a touch of fun to the leisure life of the citizens.
There are also reasons for the strong support of films, and the establishment of large-scale entertainment venues. For example, a comprehensive opera house will add some new things to it, revealing some singing and dancing, and passionate dynamic music.
The fashion industry is also a project strongly supported by the Czech Principality, and in the future Prague will become the vane of European fashion, and in the future Prague will not only have a film festival but also a fashion week.
Ernst's ambitions were so great that in 1919 he embarked on a large number of projects, and at the same time the wealth that was spent, the cabinet began to apply for the implementation of its own monetary system by breaking away from the economic ties of Austria-Hungary and Germany. After some consideration, Ernst finally agreed that the Royal Bank of the Czech Duchy would take on the heavy lift.
The Czech koruna, which is the name of the currency inherited from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is engraved with the head of Ernst on the obverse of the gold and silver coins, and the Ernst family is on the banknote, which is also a prerequisite for the monetary communication between the Czech koruna and the Russian Empire, after all, it is easier for Russian citizens to accept.
