"Your Highness, His Excellency Estehaziharis has arrived. [This chapter starts, Love, You, Voice, Novel Network, please remember the URL]" Two days later, just as Ruprecht was working in his study, a servant reported to the crown prince.
"Very good, let him wait a moment." The crown prince put down the pen in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then led him to the reception room under the attendant's guidance. He went to meet Prince Estehaziharis, the former Austrian-Hungarian nobleman and the current Speaker of Hungary.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire was naturally concerned about the distribution of war reparations. However, sometimes they could not be too impatient. If the Austro-Hungarian Empire ambassador to Berlin or a Vienna court staffer at this time, it would naturally attract many people's attention. However, if the person who came to the Crown Prince's residence was the Austro-Hungarian Empire's ambassador to Berlin or the Vienna court staff, it would naturally attract a lot of attention. However, if the person came with an unknown Hungarian, the attention would be much smaller.
After all, the Estehazi family has great influence in Hungary, certain influence in Austria, and Bavaria, but in the old Prussian region, the family has no power. And although Harris is the heir to the Estehazi family, he is too young after all. Doing so can minimize the adverse effects.
Of course, the performance of the Estehazi family and Harris himself can bear this important task. After all, the cooperation between the Estehazi family and Bavaria and Vienna has been around for nearly 20 years. Harris has also proved his ability and courage during the Hungarian turmoil. He has successfully instigated the old prime minister and some bourgeois moderates. Hungary has also made contributions to the current stability.
"Okay, let's talk about the current situation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and your purpose this time." After a brief polite conspiracy, Ruprecht said straight to the point. Although Princess Mary often mentioned the matters in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the couple's letters, she was not the emperor after all, and the information she received would be somewhat deviated. This time, Harris came here as the representative of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The crown prince naturally had to know the Austro-Hungarian attitude and the situation in his eyes of Austro-Hungarian Empire.
"Your Highness, overall, the overall situation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire is only stable. Austria is the most stable and economically developed region. With the support of Vienna and Munich, the original Hungarian region has gradually recovered its stability. The Hungarians who have regained a stable life are rebuilding their homes. Then to the east, we are newly occupied Ukraine. The situation here is very complicated. The situation close to the local area has begun to gradually restore order, but most areas are still in a state of military control. There is not much food problem, but it is difficult to restore and develop. We almost lack all supplies, and ruling such a huge new territory is very stressful for the current imperial finance. So, this time, the British compensation is of extraordinary significance to the empire."
Morris briefly introduced the situation, and summarized that the Austro-Hungarian Empire gradually deteriorated from west to east. Moreover, the empire was very short of money and lacked a start-up capital! Therefore, the Austrian Emperor specially sent Harris to ask for money.
"So does His Majesty the Emperor Ao know the current distribution of compensation within Germany?" Ruprecht asked.
"Not very clear, the news is very confusing now, and you did not mention it in your letter to the crown prince," said Harris.
"I didn't mention it, and I wouldn't be ready to mention it in the future. Because this matter takes a long time to operate, I don't know how much the Austro-Hungarian Empire can get now, so I don't want to give His Majesty an incorrect estimate. I can only say this. Even under the best circumstances, the British's compensation can only be used to rescue the emergency, and cannot fundamentally make the Austro-Hungarian Empire stronger." Ruprecht said.
This is a tough battle. In terms of difficulty coefficient, Ruprecht believes that this "war" is more difficult than destroying the British fleet in the last battle. Although he is already prepared, he is not sure how much effect it can be. After all, this is a group of hungry people who suddenly see a roasted whole lamb, and everyone will fight to eat as much lamb as possible! Moreover, these people are not enemies, everyone is inside the same system, and the relationship is very complicated and cannot be simplified.
Therefore, the crown prince believes that the promise at this time is meaningless. After all, if he painted too big a cake for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, then the greater the aftershock when the hope is broken! There is a lot of things that are not bad, and the reason why it ends up is because of the psychological effect of human beings. For example, now, even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire can't get a penny, will the Austro-Hungarian Empire not develop? Obviously not! For a big country, whether it can be done depends mainly on itself, this is the fundamental.
"Germany is very tight on the issue of distribution, and now, the German Emperor and the parliamentary factions are superficially alliances. They have put forward very strict requirements and are more determined. However, they have not done anything and have not launched a comprehensive attack. Maybe they are worried that such an attack will kill a thousand enemies and damage themselves. I still need to do some preparations now and delay time." Ruprecht said.
"So do you need some help from His Majesty now?" Harris asked.
"Of course." Ruprechite nodded and said, "First of all, I hope that the Ao Emperor will continue to maintain a friendly and intimate relationship with the German Empire when the matter of distribution of compensation does not exist. Moreover, this relationship must be spread out from top to bottom. Our ambassadors and diplomats in Berlin should not only establish good relations with the nobles, officials and parliamentarians, but more importantly, with capitalists, newspapers and some prestigious intellectuals."
"Are you talking about a banquet or a salon? This is very convenient to organize." Morris said after thinking about it.
"No, these are just superficial, and the deepest thing is that we want to build momentum! We must clearly tell all the factory owners, bankers and professionals with skill that the Austro-Hungarian Empire is about to launch a large-scale development! We welcome all capable people to share the feast of the Eastern Front with us! We need machinery, funds, and professional talents! Everyone, as long as they are willing to invest, we can give generous returns! The vast territory and abundant resources of Ukraine, Belarus, and the Transcaucasus are our footnotes! Do you understand what I mean?" Ruprecht said.
