Chapter 2426: Teaching two (1/2)
”After gaining the understanding and goodwill of the people, you can participate in the affairs of the country to a limited extent, such as some economic or trade activities. When we and the Swedish government cannot reach an agreement due to certain conditions, you should Stand up as a coordinating relationship between the two sides. In this regard, we will provide you with help.” Ruprecht said.
Even if it has won the favor of the people, the vase is still a vase, but a vase that makes people like it. If Gustaf V cannot play a certain role in the life of Sweden, then the salted fish will be salted fish after all, so In this regard, the German Empire needs to make some investments, so that the influence of Gustav V among the people will rise from a vase to someone who has a certain effect on the development of the country! Of course, it is best not to involve politics at the beginning, as this will make some people feel uneasy, but you still have to start economically at the beginning.
”Now there is just an opportunity. The United States is about to launch the Pacific War, and the United States will definitely restrict fuel exports. Therefore, Sweden is very likely to buy from us. You can participate in the negotiation when the time is right. ”Ruprecht said.
”For your help, I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the Swedish royal family.” Gustav V said. ”Then I want to know what to do next?”
”The next step? Continue to strengthen the power of the royal family. We have several big projects. The Swedish royal family can participate in it. One of the world Siemens companies is preparing to set up a company in Sweden. You can talk to Mr. Siemens about related matters in detail.” The crown prince said.
Although money is not a panacea, it is definitely impossible to have no money! Just like the first thing Ruprecht started to do was to make money, other things, whether it was building a navy or expanding an army, were all things going backwards! From 1890 to the present, except during the war, how to make money has always been the main line of the development of the Kingdom of Bavaria!
It is very difficult for the Swedish royal family to achieve a breakthrough in political power, but it is almost impossible to intervene in the army. However, if it is completely okay to set up businesses, the royal family of all countries will not be poor in this era, and in the war Afterwards, under the situation of waiting to be developed, as long as there are projects and funds, you can make money! This was the case in the golden age of capitalism in the 1920s. This is true whether it is the victorious country, Britain, the United States and France, or the defeated Germany. Of course, Italy is an exception...
With the technical help of German companies, it is not a problem for the Swedish royal family to start a company. Perhaps in other countries, an enterprise has limited influence over the country. (Krupp’s level is not counted.) But in Sweden, for a small country with a population of only 7 million, any enterprise of a slightly smaller scale will have a very large impact on Sweden’s finances and economy. After all, Ericsson still Without the rise, Saab and Volvo have not yet appeared, and the industrial scale is quite salty.
And if the Swedish royal family can seize this opportunity to invest in some key areas, then conservatively speaking, it can greatly increase the royal family’s assets. According to Dali, the royal family will play a very important role in Redan’s economic life. In a capitalist country, if you have a say in the economic field, it is equivalent to having a say in politics. How do you say it? That is, the economic base determines the superstructure!
Of course, this kind of cooperation is mutually beneficial. Does the Swedish royal family have obtained a lot of funds and economic say? At the same time, German companies can also use the relationship of the Swedish royal family to enter Sweden, thus binding the two economies together. When the economies of the two countries have reached the point where the German economy catches a cold, and the Swedish economy has to follow the cough, I am really not afraid that Sweden will not be on the side of Germany during the war for so long!
To be honest, in this era, economic aggression has become an important means for the expansion of a powerful country. When a country faces military and political oppression, it may fight back, but the sugar-coated cannonball of economic aggression cannot resist! Even sweet!
