Struggle in Russia

other way?

This question made Li Xiao secretly laugh, you guys are not willing to pay for it yourself, do you still expect others to generously donate money to help you pay the bill? I told you a long time ago that there is no such thing as being taken advantage of!

But Baugiani didn't believe it. He said: "Can the French government provide some loans?"

Li Xiao didn't laugh out loud because he knew how thieves these Hungarians were. Do you really think that the French are settled? But he is a fake Frenchman, and even if it is true, do you think the French government is a philanthropist, helping you Hungary for nothing if you are not relatives?

What's more, the Frenchman himself is a piece of shit, so there is no spare money to help you tide over the difficulties.

Li Xiao was very aware of the attitude of the French government, which was to obtain the maximum benefit with the minimum effort, and it was impossible to give any substantive support to the Hungarian Revolutionary Party. At most, it was verbal and spiritual support, and nothing else.

So he asked very bluntly: "Of course loans are possible, but it is impossible for the French government to give you loans directly. After all, our government has to take into account the relationship between Austria and Russia. At most, it will give you commercial loans through private channels." loan!"

Baojiani was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately said repeatedly: "Commercial loans are also available!"

Li Xiao immediately sneered and asked back: "You should be very clear about the rules of commercial loans. Merchants are all profit-seeking. Even if they give you a loan, the interest will be very high. And the most important point, what do you use as a guarantee?" ?”

Bajani was a little dazed, he hadn't thought about guarantees at all, but Szechenyi interjected: "Can't the French government provide guarantees for us?"

Li Xiao really can't laugh or cry, how could the French government guarantee you a bunch of chaotic countries with today and no tomorrow?

"Impossible!" Li Xiao denied immediately, "As I said, the French government will not come forward to help you directly, so there must be a guarantee that makes those businessmen tempted, otherwise it is impossible to give you loans!"

Bajani and Szechenyi fell into deep thought immediately. These two innocent children were really racking their brains to figure out what they could use as a guarantee.

Finally Baujani asked: "What security is needed for half of this loan?"

Li Xiao replied solemnly: "It's very simple, you can consider using Hungary's fixed assets or future taxes as a guarantee!"

Fixed assets? tax?

Bajani and Szechenyi immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, because Hungary can indeed provide both, but well, the problem is not small.

The first is fixed assets. Although the current Hungarian revolutionary government controls the whole of Hungary in name, it does not have any fixed assets under its name. Assets such as fields, real estate and mines across the country are all privately owned. They can't take other people's private property as collateral! The gang of political elites did not make a fuss about it.

As for taxation, it's not that this thing cannot be mortgaged, but it's really unpleasant to say it, and it always feels like a pawn. And if the money is not paid in the future, wouldn't the power of taxation fall into the hands of foreign businessmen? What a pain in the ass!

In fact, Li Xiao felt that Baojani and Szechenyi really thought too much. Even if they were willing to use taxes as collateral, no foreign bank or businessman would accept it.

The reason is very simple. The Hungarian revolutionary government is not a particularly credible government, and it will not be trusted at all if it is precarious. Any capitalist has to weigh the risks involved,

In case these goods go out of business, who will get the borrowed money?

In other words, even if Baojani and others are willing to mortgage taxes, no one dares to accept it. The risk is too great, and it is simply a gamble.

Of course, Baujani and his group themselves are not willing to mortgage taxes, which is too humiliating for them to accept. So from the moment he put forward this suggestion, Li Xiao knew that it was impossible for them to agree, and it was nothing more than letting them retreat in spite of the difficulties to dispel this wishful thinking.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

Obviously, the road of loans will not work, and no one will be willing to lend money to Hungary, so Bajani has to find other solutions.

Li Xiao sighed and said: "You are neither willing to raise donations from the whole people, nor can you give valuable collateral to obtain loans. There is only one way left. You can only pay taxes. You can consider collecting a special national defense tax or Issue patriotic bonds..."

Bajani and Szechenyi looked at each other and looked at each other again. Because the solution given by someone is still to scrape the ground, and still try to scrape oil from the people. To be honest, they are resisting.

But, obviously it is impossible for Li Xiao to offer more favorable conditions, so it is useless to ask someone. This made Baojani very frustrated, because he reported his hope before coming here, but who knew he would despair so soon.

"Thank you for your suggestion. We will consider it carefully. Thank you for your support for the Hungarian revolution. Goodbye!"

Seeing Bajani and Szechenyi leaving dejectedly, Li Xiao felt a little turbulent in his heart. Objectively speaking, he sympathized with Baujani and others, and sincerely hoped that they would succeed, but rationally told him that it was meaningless to really help them, because they were not mature and qualified revolutionaries, and it was impossible to lead the Hungarian revolution. win.

Why do you say that?

Because in Li Xiao's view, a truly mature revolutionist must have certain qualities. For example, there are clear and firm goals of the revolutionary program, the means and methods necessary to achieve the goals of the program, and finally, firm will and flexible wrists.

You look at Baojiani and others, do they have a clear and firm revolutionary goal? To be honest, the goals of Bajani, Szechenyi, Kossuth and others are not consistent at all. Bajani and others do not seek the true independence and autonomy of Hungary, they only want to seek a certain degree of autonomy, and they want to be a Hungarian Obedient citizen of the Boothburg family.

Kossuth, on the other hand, is much more radical. Not to mention that he is single-minded about independence, at least he is alienated from Austria and the Habsburg family. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will do big things to seek complete independence.

The goals of this group of people are not consistent at all. Naturally, there is no way to form a joint force, and they seem to be fighting independently, so you can see that they have many internal problems, all kinds of entanglements, and doing things on their own. There is no united revolutionary team. What a future!

This is actually not the most serious problem. What's worse is that these people are inexperienced, not to mention organizational skills, and there are a lot of problems in strategies and methods...
