The Third Reich: The Return of the King

It was only after the return of the envoy that Romaniya realized that he had been deceived, but by this time the agreement had been signed, and it was too late to regret it.

Moreover, their prisoners of war were still held in the hands of the German army, and if they dared to repent, these hundreds of thousands of people would not 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 sides was signed, and everything was over!

"How much money do we have in our treasury?"

Realizing that it was impossible to go back, Ferdinand I was ready to accept reality.

The Minister of Finance's brows were wrinkled into a Sichuan character, and he said to the king with a crying face: "Your Majesty, there is no money in our treasury anymore, and last year's fiscal revenue was used to expand armaments and pay your ransom, and now the treasury is empty!"

"What? No money?"

Hearing this, King Ferdinand I's face turned pale!

This news was like a bolt from the blue for him!

The treasury has no money, so how can he redeem his army?

"Go and ask the Hanseians if they can accept anything else in lieu of cash, we have a lot of grain, cattle and minerals in our country, and if they are willing to accept these things, we can ransom them with them!"

Romeni is a backward agricultural country, and the only thing that can be used is domestic agricultural products.

Hans has a large population and a well-developed industry, but agriculture is not very advanced, so they have always been a major exporter of grain to the countries of Eastern Europe, in addition to being the main buyer of various minerals exported by various countries!

Ferdinand I was a native of Hans, so he knew the situation in Hans very well, and the method he proposed was the only feasible way at present!

The news soon spread to Hamburg, Mainz had no intention of asking for cash from the Romanes, to be honest, the business network in North America is currently very profitable, General Motors and Johnson & Johnson are developing very rapidly, and the Essenkel Mobil oil company in the south is also gradually getting on the right track, these companies can bring him a lot of income every year, and he is not short of money now.

However, because of Hans's awkward geographical location, Hans was relatively lacking in mineral resources, and after Alsace and Lorraine were taken away by the Gauls, the situation became more serious, so Mainz set his sights on the nearby countries such as Jeke and Romene early.

The coal mines of Jieke, the oil and gas of Romania, etc., are all resources that he cares about!

Compared with the coal mines of Jieke, the oil of Romeniya is obviously more important to Hans at present, so Mainz has long been on the idea of the other party, and the reason why he does not release the prisoners in his hands is to wait for the other party to take the bait.

No, didn't the Romani Tooth take the bait?

After receiving the telegram of inquiry from Romania, Mainz was not ambiguous and directly told the Romanians that they wanted to obtain the right to mine the minerals around Ploiesti!

When this telegram reached King Faedi of Romanija, he immediately understood the Hanns' intentions!

"They're eyeing our oil!"

There are oil fields in the Ploiesti region, which is something that many people know about in Romani.

However, because the level of self-employment in Romeni is too backward and they cannot afford to buy foreign oil extraction equipment, they have not been able to extract oil themselves, although they know that there is oil here.

In addition, the importance of oil has not been taken seriously in this era, except for North America, which has become more and more important due to the booming development of automobiles, the value of oil in other regions is not well understood.

Moreover, this era is mainly based on coal fuel, oil is difficult to exploit, the cost is high, and coal has no economic benefits at all, and the use is not as wide as coal, so it is naturally not taken seriously!

Thinking of this, Ferdinand I still had some joy in his heart, if the Hanns valued their gold mines or coal mines, he might not be happy, but the Hanns fancy their oil fields, then it doesn't matter!

Thus, at the behest of King Ferdinand I, careful and comprehensive negotiations were soon held, and the Romanias authorized the transfer of the oil rights in the Ploiesti region to Hans, allowing them to exploit oil here for 50 years, and the oil they extracted was used to cover a debt of 150 million pounds for the first 20 years, and sold to Hans at market price for the next 30 years.

The license transfer agreement was soon signed, and the Germans were granted the rights to exploit the Ploiesti oil field for a period of 0 years.

And Ferdinand I also redeemed his army as he wished, which made both sides very satisfied, and even looked at each other a lot more pleasant.

King Ferdinand I, who was in a good mood, even proposed to invite Hans to invest in Romenija, build factories and mine minerals, and he also said that he would give Hans's investors some preferential treatment for the sake of his family.

Mainz did not turn down these invitations, but instead of investing in Romene industry, he prioritized investments in minerals and agriculture.

The two sides also signed a series of relevant agreements, stipulating that the mined minerals would be divided between the two sides, and after ten years of mining, the mines would be handed over to the government of Romenaija, which would be in their hands!

Both parties were also very satisfied with the agreement, and for Hans, within ten years they would be able to get the minerals they needed for their industry free of charge and steadily.

For the Romanija, they don't invest a penny, they can develop the minerals that their country was not able to develop for free, and they can also get half of the output from it, and these outputs can also be sold directly to Hans to earn foreign exchange, and after ten years, when the agreement expires, they can take over these mines that have been running for ten years, and all the profits will be their own, which is simply an empty glove white wolf!

King Ferdinand I probably wouldn't have been so happy if he knew what economic colonization was, but sometimes the more he knew, the more unhappy he became, and ignorance was a blessing!

After various agreements were reached with the Romanian side, Hans set off a wave of work in the country, and a large number of experienced workers were recruited and offered a stable job with a good salary.

With the completion of the agreement, low-priced agricultural products from Romeniya also entered Hanse's country, and the arrival of these agricultural products also lowered the price level in Hanse, which greatly reduced Hans's inflationary pressure.

However, because of the loss of the support of the military industry, there are still 4 million unemployed workers in Hans!

For a country with a total population of only 80 million, 4 million unemployed is a very scary number!

These unemployed workers roam the cities, putting great pressure on social order in various places.

In the first half of 1921 alone, there were thousands of murders, murders, and even mass disturbances in various places!

The occurrence of these things brought great social pressure to the government of the Weimar Republic!

In the face of this chaos, President Hindenburg summoned Mainz, commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, to the capital and told him in front of him: "We can't continue to do this, we must stabilize the situation as soon as possible!"

"What are you going to do?"

Mainz's expression is equally serious, social unrest can endanger the security and stability of a country, and even subvert the regime of a country, this kind of thing often happened in the disintegration of the woolly bear and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe 70 years later, and he remembers this vividly!

"Increase the number of troops and police, severely crack down on illegal and criminal activities in the country, and when necessary, use thunderous means!"

Mainz gasped, Hindenburg is going to crack down!_
