Chapter 31： succeed (1/2)
”Our plan is actually very reasonable. No one is willing to throw a lot of money into Africa, and no one has the ability to provide a large number of immigrants to the African colonies. Apart from the central government, we are the only one! Something unexpected.” Count Schelling said uneasyly.
”It is a normal reaction, or a common problem at the top. If we can get it easily, then we won't miss their good. If there are some twists and turns, we will realize how difficult it is that this is a natural thing. Then we owe favor. We need to make appropriate concessions in some areas next. Therefore, whether it is the Kaiser or the Prime Minister, even if they agree with our proposal, they will have a serious discussion.” Thoughtful.
”Then do you think our plan will be achieved?”
”It will be done! It may even be done before I return to Munich! This agreement is likely to be signed by the Prime Minister himself, and then handed over by his son!” The traveler said confidently!
”Isn't it?”
”As for the Wittelsbach family will always be the king, but Bismarck cannot always be the prime minister!” The traveler is once again proud of his identity advantage!
At the same time, in the Berlin Palace, Kaiser Friedrich III is discussing this matter with the Prime Minister. As the traversers expected, the African colonies are indeed a pit for the current Germany! A lot of money was invested, but there was no return! Sometimes the Kaiser wondered, what is the use of the colony he has worked so hard to obtain?
”In principle, the Bavarians did not do too much. The British, French, and Belgians all did the same. They handed over a large amount of land and minerals to private companies for operation, and only collected a certain amount of taxes and profits. If it is a company doing this, I will agree, but the other party has a government background! Will it affect the colonial policy of the empire? And they pay a fixed tax, although now we are accounted for Cheap, but in the future...” the colonial minister said worriedly.
”Then we reject their suggestion?” Herbert asked.
”At least one more favorable condition for the empire should be changed.” said the colonial minister.
”I think you have already contacted their representatives. Did they agree? If this agreement can be reached, we can reduce the deficit of the colony by at least 4 million marks each year. And if the Bavarian policy is successful, then The management of the empire in the African colonies is very meaningful!” There are some things that dad is inconvenient for, so Herbert must tell him.
”What about other companies in the empire, then what about Bavaria. Is this okay?” asked the silent Kaiser.
”If this is the case, we will also be responsible for local security work and infrastructure maintenance, and taxation may not even have 400,000 marks a year! Businessmen will never lose money, because a large amount of basic costs are borne by the empire. ”The colonial minister shook his head and said, ”What they want is semi-independent rights, and this right is what they pay more!”
”Then where are their profit points? They can't do business at a loss.” The Kaiser frowned and said.
