The Rise of the Empire

"Everyone is bearish on silver now, and with the influx of indemnities, the price of silver will probably be lower. If you are bullish, it is the opposite of the general trend, and we don't have enough capital to influence the Japanese market." When Countess La said this, the originally sluggish aura rose again! In this regard, she is an expert and cannot allow others to question her decision easily!

　　 "Do you know how much the Japanese war cost?" Ruprecht asked rhetorically.

　　 "Uh..." Neither Princess Mary nor the Countess could answer this question. How much did the Japanese spend on this war? I guess the Japanese don’t know this thing, right? Even if there is an estimate, it is top secret! How can ordinary people know?

　　 Ruprecht is also not clear. In history, this thing had N numbers. The Japanese government announced it was more than 200 million yen, and the Japanese private estimated it was 233 million yen. And if you carefully deduct how much of Japan’s war fund reserves and temporary appropriations are saved by Japan, and how much is borrowed, it will be endless!

　　 But one thing Ruprecht can be sure of is that Japan spent more money in this war than in history! For nothing else, just to deal with the Toshima incident, the Japanese government spent 2.5 million pounds on the bright side! Among them, 1.5 million pounds is to pay compensation to Germany, and 1 million pounds is to make up for the gap in naval combat power.

　　 If you count the losses caused by the German fleet's break-through achievements and the Japanese military expenditures in North Korea in a few months, then the price is even greater! After all, the cost of the army stationed abroad is the same as running water. Because of Ruprecht, the Japanese stayed overseas for a few months, saying that the whole incident cost Japan 6 million pounds. Not too much! How much is 6 million pounds in yen? 50 million yen is out!

It’s not over yet. If this is the case, the Japanese government can still make a lot of money by pushing the Qing army to death. However, because of the relationship between the Blue Legion and the armored cruiser Mainz, Japan Suddenly, his military expenses have been saved up a lot! The Blue Army and the Russian army contained at least half of the Japanese army, which slowed the progress of the Japanese war in Liaodong. And the Beiyang Fleet joined by the Mainz was dying of the Japanese! Spelled out nearly half of Japan's navy...

　　 The Japanese are really poor this time. Although Ruprecht can't have an exact estimate of how much Japanese military expenditures have been spent on, it is proved to be verifiable how much Japanese war money has reserved! But 160 million yen, after such a toss, the loophole will be even greater! The message came from Roosevelt, and the Japanese issued another war bond, the amount reached about 100 million yen! The subscription of this bond is not good. Some Americans still have doubts about the outcome of the war. The Qing country is certainly vulnerable, but if Russia and Germany support the Qing country, what is the difference between the Japanese winning and losing?

　　 And the news from the UK shows that the Japanese ordered two Centurion class battleships in the UK this time! Centurion! Although the performance of the second-class battleship is not bad, in terms of tonnage, it is undoubtedly worse than the two first-class battleships that Japan bought at the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War in history! The Japanese are out of money! Otherwise, you will not buy 2 2nd class battleships!

　　 Ruprecht may not be very good at finance, but the arms market is clear! If you do this yourself, if you can still make a mistake, then you might as well find a piece of tofu and kill it! According to Ruprecht's estimation, the pre-war reserve of the Japanese government should have been exhausted! Now it's all about borrowing money to fight!

"If the Japanese really only had 160 million yen in war cost reserves, they would have overspend it now, about 30 million yen. For every month of delay, Japan's foreign debt will rise by at least 15 million yen!" Many aspects of intelligence, as well as the consumption of the Russian Army and the Blue Army in the northeast, Ruprecht's uncle, Prince Leopold, gave Ruprecht a valuation!

"I rub, the Japanese have suffered a terrible loss! Even the Liaodong Peninsula has not been dealt with now. If both Liaodong and Shandong Peninsulas are destroyed as in history, it will take at least half a year! This famine will bring down 120 million less Around the yen!" Ruprecht probably forgot about it, he was happy!

　　In this case, in order to make up for the shortfall, even if the Japanese obtain a large amount of silver from the Qing country, they must first change it into foreign currency to repay the loan. The bonds issued by the Japanese in the United Kingdom and the United States are in British pounds and U.S. dollars! You have to change the silver to the currency of the country before you can pay it back! If this happens, there will be errors in the estimation of silver in Japan. For example, it was originally thought that 50 million taels of silver might flow in, but now suddenly it has changed to 20 million taels, then there will be a price difference! If someone adds to the flames, the impact will be even greater!

　　 What’s even more frightening is that Ruprecht, who caused the Japanese to spend a large amount of money, does not intend to stop! Who is Ruprecht? If you can't find it, you will be counted as a loser! Since the decrease in the inflow of silver in Japan will help you make money! Then let it flow in less! The so-called increase in revenue and expenditure, Ruprecht has already caused the flow of funds in Japan to bleed, so it is inevitable to block the source again!

　　 The Japanese still want to get 200 million taels of silver from the Shimonoseki Treaty? Want to get another 30 million taels of silver through the redemption fee? What do you think? Have the Japanese asked about the attitude of Russia, Germany and France? Do you know what people think? For the future post-war situation~www.NovelMTL.com~Russia and Germany have already thought about it. The Japanese cannot get too much benefit from the Qing, otherwise, the rich Japanese businessmen will definitely become the enemy of Russia and Germany. And if the Qing country is too weak, to whom did German arms sell...

　　In history, when the Three Kingdoms interfered in the Liaoning Province, Japan was the weakest. The British made it clear that they had 120,000 tons of warships in the Far East! 4 ironclad ships, the Japanese navy dare to jump? Tens of thousands of Russian troops have begun to deploy to the Far East. Could the Japanese navy be facing Russia after fighting the Beiyang? Isn't that looking for death? The key to the Japanese getting the redemption fee is the tacit approval of the Three Kingdoms. To put it bluntly, let Japan spit out even Taiwan, and it doesn't matter if the compensation is cut in half! The British will not guarantee safety to the Japanese!

"The compensation received by the Japanese government cannot exceed 150 million taels of silver! And it cannot obtain any territory from the Qing country." This is a condition negotiated by representatives of Russia and Germany when they met in private, and in return, some German products Tariffs were lower when entering Russia. The Russian food sector also allows German companies to intervene to a limited extent.

　　 With such a consensus, Ruprecht is already very affirmed that the significance of Japan's victory in this war is very limited! Even economically, he will bear a huge burden because of the war! The Japanese are weak, and the British must pay a higher price if they want to use this chess piece. This is of great significance to Germany and Ruprecht. There will be a Boer War, Ruprecht. Now we are ready to bleed Britain!
