The Greeks were pulled over, and Franz did not take it seriously at all. The protagonists of this war in the Near East were the Russians, and Austria only played soy sauce, at most throwing a few stones at the Ottoman Empire, which had fallen into the well.

Even if the two countries had already declared war, in fact the room for maneuver on both sides was very large, Austria only occupied their two subjects and stopped, and the contradictions were still under control.

The rotten Sultan government was actually very tolerable, but it had miscalculated its own strength before, and Austria needed this war again, so the two sides had come to this point.

Whether to beat the Ottomans to death or not, Franz is indifferent. With the support of Britain and France, the Ottoman Empire was able to keep the peninsula of Asia Minor.

As for the Greeks, Franz honestly did not expect anything from them.

The geographical location determines that they hug the thighs of the British, which is the best choice; The lack of strength also determined that the Ottomans only needed one hand to press them down.

If they had joined the alliance and declared war on the Ottoman Empire, then for the sake of political necessity, the responsible Franz and Nicholas I would definitely pull them along.

Even if they lose on the battlefield, they will not suffer in post-war negotiations.

Sneaking in, this is not an ally, it's good to win, Franz is trustworthy, the Austrian government will definitely support their demands, and the Russians will most likely fulfill their promises.

If you lose the war, cry yourself, it's all done by civilian armed forces, and it has nothing to do with the Greek government, and naturally it has nothing to do with Austria and Russia. Franz remembered that in history the Greeks lost, and they were beaten by the Ottoman Empire with a blue nose and swollen face.

Compared with the Greeks, Montenegro, another small Balkan country, or Negoro, has a much firmer position.

Bishop Danilo wanted neutrality, and Montenegro, a small country with a population of less than 200,000, waged three wars against the Ottoman Empire in 1821, 1829, and 1835 in an attempt to gain access to the sea in the south, but all failed.

Bishop Danilo was a pacifist who was not optimistic about the war, Montenegro was surrounded on all sides by the Ottoman Empire, and he was afraid that he would overturn if he could not wait for Russian reinforcements.

It is a pity that the pro-Russian people of Montenegro did not agree. Belligerence is a characteristic of all Balkan countries, and Montenegro is one of the best.

The Ottoman Empire had ruled the Balkans for hundreds of years, and still had not been able to conquer the Grand Duchy of Montenegro, and the Sultan government was tired of it.

A proposal was made to the Montenegrin government that the city of Shkod, an outlet to the Adriatic Sea and part of Herzegovina be given to Montenegro as long as they were willing to cease hostility with the Ottoman Empire and recognize the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire.

The hard-hearted Montenegrin people decisively rejected the temptation, preferring to secure these territories with their own hands rather than submit to the Ottoman Empire.

The power of hatred has penetrated into the marrow of every Montenegrin populace, and now that the opportunity has come, how could the Russians and Austria be absent from the simultaneous declaration of war on the Ottoman Empire?

You must know that in the Crimean War, the pro-Russian people of Montenegro were going to participate in the war.

It's just that Bishop Danilo saw the situation clearly, he believed that the Russians were too far away, and once the war broke out, Montenegro would be isolated and chose neutrality.

For this, Bishop Danilo was almost overthrown.

Now there was no need to worry about being isolated, they were not far from the Austrian province of Dalmatia, which was rejected by Bishop Danilo.

In order to be able to get married, Bishop Danilo made a compromise. He agreed to support the war, but in return he relinquished his bishopric position to someone else, crowning himself "Grand Duke of Montenegro and Burda".

As the traditional younger brother of the Russians, the Grand Duchy of Montenegro was still very well taken care of, and Russia came forward to communicate with Austria, which provided them with assistance.

Franz naturally would not refuse this small request of the Russians, isn't it weapons, equipment and strategic materials, as long as he is willing to give money and everything is negotiable.

At this time, the superiority of state-owned enterprises is reflected, and the government makes an administrative order, and enterprises start to produce strategic materials in advance.

Considering the ability of the Grand Duchy of Montenegro to pay, Franz also provided loan services very considerately to solve the urgent needs of customers.

There is no way to provide loan services, not to mention the Principality of Montenegro, even the Russians have a limited ability to pay.

Now they have not completed their internal reforms, and there is no way to compare the wealth that a feudal dynasty can amass with that of a capitalist country.

The tsarist government did not expect that Britain and France would intervene, and now the sea route is blocked, and the strategic materials hoarded on the coast of Ukraine can now only be transported by land. This obviously did not guarantee the needs of the front-line army, and could only be procured from Austria.

The military expenses of the labor expedition to the Balkan Peninsula were much higher than the historical war in the Crimea. Because of the corruption of the tsarist government, even if the Austrian government did not raise prices, prices are now rising.

Franz can't stop the Russian bureaucracy from getting rich, right?

In the end, of course, hello, hello, everyone, the only thing that has been hurt is the Russian central finance, anyway, their family can withstand the big business, and it is a big deal to take out loans without money.

The Austrian government is more than happy to take this business, and these loans are all directed, and they can only buy Austrian goods without having to come up with real money. Anyway, it is better to lend money to the Russians to pay than to make the Russians default on the payment.

Political loans were never simple, and there were commercial trade conditions attached, so that even if the Russian government could not repay the loans, the Austrian government would not lose money.

Austria has the strength to undertake this business only the central bank, otherwise the loan of hundreds of millions of dong will not be able to be taken out even by several major domestic commercial banks combined.

With Franz's order, the Austrian Central Bank started the printing press and collected the first payment in the shortest possible time.

The Russians borrowed 100 million guilders, the principality of Montenegro borrowed 5 million guilders, and the Greeks' request for a loan was vetoed by Franz.

The reason is that Austria cannot afford to provide them with material aid, there is no border on land, and they expect to deliver goods by sea, when the British do not exist?

Take real money out? This obviously does not exist, the Austrian government is not wronged, and in terms of the finances of the Greek government, can they be expected to pay back?

You must know that since the establishment of the Greek kingdom, their finances have been dependent on borrowing from the boss behind them, when have they ever paid off their debts?

After the completion of the loan with the Russians and the Principality of Montenegro, the money flowed into the Austrian market, stimulating the economic development of Austria.

Anyway, it's a time of war, it's normal for prices to rise, and as long as you don't play too much, there won't be big problems.

After the unification of South Germany, the market money capacity became larger, and the problem of inflation was easily solved.

As long as there is no outflow of funds, the issuance of additional currency is also a normal operation under the condition that the wealth created by the society increases, and it will not cause serious inflation.

As for the economic pain brought about by the return of the market to normal after the end of the war, aren't there still Russians to pay their debts? As long as there is real money flowing in, all crises can be solved.

By the way, we will take advantage of this opportunity to bring Austria and Russia closer to each other and use the benefits to strengthen the alliance between the two countries.

The French could influence the tsarist government by controlling Russian finance, and Austria did not have the strength to control Russian finance, but it was always possible to influence it, right?

Franz was very conscientious, and the interest rate on loans to allies was only 0.2% per month, and there were absolutely no unequal strings attached.

It just promoted economic exchanges between the allies, and anyway, Britain and France became enemies, and Austria didn't take their markets too much, right?

At this time, Britain and France had no chance to protest, and from the moment the navy blocked the door, they were the enemies of the tsarist government.
