St. Petersburg, since the eastern Prussia battle ended, does not feel better in the Tsar government day of vortex center. 圣彼得堡,自从东普鲁士会战结束后,处于漩涡中心的沙皇政府日子就不好过了。 Although the frontline military officer takes the rap, Alexander II understands, causes the reason that the Russian force routs truly, is not the direction issue of military officers. 尽管前线的将领背了黑锅,亚历山大二世还是明白,真正导致俄军大败的原因,不是将领们的指挥问题。 The order that without that fights a battle to force a quick decision together perhaps, the eastern Prussia battle is still continuing. According to the initial strategy, the Russian force only needs to holding with Prussian, depends upon the sea advantage attack to win. 如果没有那一道速战速决的命令,或许东普鲁士会战还在继续。按照最初的战略,俄军只需要和普鲁士人对持,依靠海上优势进攻获得胜利。 The attack and defense are completely not a concept, if the Russian force uses the defensive strategy, will not defeat absolutely such quickly. Sudden increasing troops of Prussian, they most also throw several defense lines. 进攻和防守完全不是一个概念,如果俄军采用防守战略,绝对不会败得这么快。普鲁士人的突然增兵,他们最多也就丢几道防线。 „Money” becomes the chief criminal of this battle failure, next is the Russian Empire bad transportation, again is the Tsar government corruption service department, finally is this „decisive battle command”. “钱”成为了这次会战失败的罪魁祸首,其次是俄罗斯帝国糟糕的交通,再次是沙皇政府腐败的官僚系统,最后才是这道“决战令”。 Secretary of war Hera Medd reports saying: „ Your majesty, we have conducted the mobilization, the frontline military lost, in can supplement the full strength over the next two months. 陆军大臣赫拉梅德汇报道:“陛下,我们已经进行了动员,前线的兵力损失,在未来两个月就可以补充满员。 The weaponry of loss, the domestic military enterprise is preparing day and night rushing a job, the insufficient part we have benefitted the order to Austria and ensure will equip the army before next year beginning of the spring. ” 损失的武器装备,国内军工企业正在准备昼夜赶工,不足部分我们已经向奥地利订购,确保会在明年开春前装备到部队。” Hera Medd neglected the matter of holding responsible wisely, the frontline main military officer, although takes the rap, had not removed from office and accountability, was ordered to redeem oneself through good works. 赫拉梅德非常明智的忽略了追究责任的事情,前线的主要军官虽然背了黑锅,并没有被撤职、问责,都被勒令戴罪立功。 Generally speaking, their performance pass an examination. These military officers are the Russia person's biggest harvest in the Near East war, is the elite of Russian force. 总体上来说,他们的表现还是及格的。这些军官是俄国人在近东战争中最大的收获,是俄军的精英。 Now must go to war, the matter of getting rid of one's capable subordinates, astute Alexander II naturally cannot do. 现在还要打仗,自毁长城的事情,精明的亚历山大二世自然不会干。 „The issue of money, right?” “还是钱的问题,对么？” Alexander II helpless asking, can listen from his tone, „money” the issue does not present 1-2 times. 亚历山大二世无奈的问道,从他的语气中就可以听出来,“钱”的问题已经不是出现1-2了。 Secretary of war Hera Medd's affirmative reply: „Yes! We have fallen behind too many payment for goods, the enterprises of many cooperation also therefore were bogged down in difficulties fund. Now they request, first pays the debt, will organize to produce.” 陆军大臣赫拉梅德肯定的回答道:“是的！我们已经拖欠了太多的货款,不少合作的企业也因此陷入了资金困境。现在他们要求,先支付欠款,才会组织生产。” The Tsar government owes enterprise money that is the common matter, but like these owes the ruthless situation time, is actually happened rare. 沙皇政府欠企业钱那是常有的事情,只不过像这一次欠得这么狠的情况,却是少有发生。 The capitalists are not the fools, knows that the finance of Tsar government has problems, naturally cannot continue the buy on credit. 资本家们不是傻子,知道沙皇政府的财政出了问题,自然不会继续赊欠了。 The officials in this aspect Tsarist Russia and they are the ally, the enterprise cannot make money, works as the sales commission with what to them? 这方面沙俄的官员和他们是盟友,企业赚不到钱,拿什么给他们当回扣呢？ Not is only the military enterprise, the cooperative enterprise that any Tsar government, piles up large debts now. 不光是军工企业,凡是沙皇政府的合作企业,现在都积压了大量的债务。 These issues are not solved, Russian Empire does not need to consider that next year war, will concede defeat directly considers as finished. 这些问题不解决,俄罗斯帝国也不用考虑明年的战事,直接低头认输算了。 Asking that Alexander II anticipates: „What Ministry of Finance has to plan, solution present crisis?” 亚历山大二世期待的问道:“财政部有什么计划,解决现在的危机？” A First Lord of the Treasury Kristanval face thin and pale reply: „Solution has two types: First, levies a war tax again ; Second, borrows the foreign loan.” 财政大臣克里斯坦瓦尔一脸憔悴的回答道:“解决方案有两种:其一、再征收一次战争税;其二、借外债。” Does not have the issue debentures, not to loan internally, this explained without doubt: The credibility of Tsar government has crashed, the domestic finance also had the problem. 没有发行债券、没有对内借款,这无疑是说明了:沙皇政府的信誉已经崩盘,国内的金融也出现了问题。 In fact, when the Russian force just seized the eastern Prussia area, some also many people favor them, Ministry of Finance took this opportunity to sell a number of bonds. 实际上,在俄军刚刚占领东普鲁士地区的时候,外界还有不少人看好他们,财政部利用这个机会卖了一批债券。 Then did not have then, now their bond again nobody will ask. First Lord of the Treasury is indefinite, can these bonds cash. 然后就没有然后了,现在他们的债券再次无人问津。连财政大臣本人都不确定,这些债券能不能够兑付。 The war commits suicide the beast, Russia is one to capitalism excessive feudalism empire, the fund that can assemble is limited. 战争是吞金兽,俄罗斯是一个正在向资本主义过度的封建帝国,能够调集的资金非常有限。 Naturally this was not equal to that they did not have money, just the astute financiers, installed at this time poorly, has not drawn a Tsar government meaning slightly. 当然这并不等于他们就没钱了,只不过精明的金融家们,这个时候纷纷装穷,丝毫没有拉沙皇政府一把的意思。 Alexander II sneered was saying: „Can't the domestic financial circle try to find the solution? As far as I know, in their hands also holds the foreign loan of many countries in Europe!” 亚历山大二世冷笑着说:“难道国内的金融界就不能想想办法了？据我所知,他们手中还持有欧洲不少国家的外债吧！” Does not have the problem, the Tsar government to loan to the foreign bank, the Russia bank makes loans in the overseas, this is the normal financial activity. 没有毛病,沙皇政府向国外银行借款,俄国的银行在海外放贷,这都是正常的金融活动。 What is not only normal is these banks is not willing to lend money to the Tsar government. 唯一不正常的是这些银行不愿意借钱给沙皇政府。 Naturally, this is not the issue of bank, what are more is all previous Tsar plays too ruthlessly, had taking advantage without matter also happened a lot, everyone is not willing to continue to be swindled. 当然,这不全是银行的问题,更多的还是历届沙皇玩得太狠,有借无还的事情发生得多了,大家不愿意继续上当。 This topic caught, now the government finance collapses, the domestic bank does not dare to loan is also excusable. 这个话题卡住了,现在政府财政崩溃,国内银行不敢借款也是情有可原。 Sees unmanned reply, Alexander II has not continued this topic. He knows to the bureaucrat: Some things can be done, actually cannot say, otherwise is very easy to leave the political opponent handle. 见无人回答,亚历山大二世没有继续这个话题。他知道对官僚来说:有些事情可以做,却不能够说,不然很容易留给政敌把柄。 „How many funds can raise?” “能够筹集多少资金？” First Lord of the Treasury Kristanval thinks saying: „ Preliminary estimate, can levy 86 million rubles war taxes. As for seeking for the foreign bank loans, the specific amount is unable to determine. 财政大臣克里斯坦瓦尔想了想说:“初步估计,可以征收8600万卢布的战争税。至于寻找外国银行贷款,具体数额无法确定。 This must look at that we can put out many collateral, political factor, needs to consider all the factors. ” 这要看我们能拿出多少抵押品,还有政治上的因素,也需要综合考虑进去。” „86 million rubles” seem like astronomical figures, in fact also insufficiently repays the debt of enterprise, in the war is completely futile attempt. “8600万卢布”看起来是一笔天文数字,实际上还不够偿还企业的债务,在战争中完全是杯水车薪。 This is not the ruble is not valuable, the key is the war is too expensive, a day wipes out several hundred tons shell, that elementary operation eo. 这不是卢布不值钱,关键是战争太费钱,一天打掉数百吨炮弹,那只是基本操作。 In fact this is economical, 500,000-600,000 armies battle in the frontline, even if consumes 5 rounds of bullets each person every day, that is still 3 million rounds. 实际上这已经非常节省了,500,000-600,000军队在前线作战,就算是每人每天消耗五发子弹,那也是三百万发。 So many armies, how the average every day saves again, at least must make several thousand rounds of shells. 这么多军队,平均下来每天再怎么省,至少也要打出几千发炮弹。 The ammunition expenditure of light most foundation, several hundred thousand rubles did not have every day. In addition various logistical materials consumptions, several million rubles expenses must have every day. 光最基础的弹药消耗,每天几十万卢布都没了。再加上各项后勤物资消耗,每天几百万卢布的开销怎么也是少不了的。 After all the commodity cost in battlefield, is not the cost price. Many strategic resources, transport from the rear area to the frontline Russian force hand , the price had risen several times. 毕竟战场上的物资成本,可不是成本价。很多战略物资,从后方运送到前线俄军手中,价格就已经翻上了几倍。 Alexander II is frowning to ask: „Said that what you prepare to mortgage, how much money can borrow?” 亚历山大二世皱着眉头问:“说吧,你们准备抵押什么,能够借多少钱？” Alexander II is uncomfortable the feeling of this being separated control, what a pity the reality makes him not have to choose, can't deliver submissively the European hegemony? 亚历山大二世非常不爽这种脱离掌控的感觉,可惜现实让他没得选择,总不能把欧陆霸权拱手送出去吧？ even/including small the Prussia kingdom does not handle, perhaps the international standing of Russia must from most peak, falls to UK , France Austria after all of a sudden, cannot do well can also arrange behind Prussian. 连小小的普鲁士王国都搞不定,俄罗斯的国际地位恐怕要从最顶端,一下子落到英法奥以后,搞不好还会排在普鲁士人后面。 The most political incomes in the Near East war obtaining, will put to the running water in this failure. 近东战争中取得的大部分政治收益,都会在这次失败中付诸流水。 First Lord of the Treasury Kristanval chose without hesitation played the rubber ball: „ This must look at the negotiation result, now is not we give anything, but must look at the opposite party to want anything. 财政大臣克里斯坦瓦尔毫不犹豫的选择了踢皮球:“这要看谈判结果了,现在不是我们给什么,而是要看对方想要什么。 Can contact several countries, chooses as far as possible to we most advantageous condition, this aspect Ministry of Foreign Affairs is specialized. ” 可以多接触几个国家,尽可能选择对我们最有利的条件,这方面外交部才是专业的。” Foreign minister Clarence Ivanov stared Kristanval one ruthlessly, this is clearly cheating. 外交大臣克拉伦斯-伊万诺夫狠狠的瞪了克里斯坦瓦尔一眼,这分明就是在坑人。 The international loan is not always good to borrow , without the loan of supplemental condition perhaps to exist, what a pity the Tsar government cannot borrow. 国际贷款从来都不好借,没有附加条件的贷款或许存在,可惜沙皇政府借不到。 Once signed the additional treaty of harm national interest, Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the object of taking the rap, Clarence's mood instantaneously is not good. 一旦签订了损害国家利益的附加条约,外交部就是背黑锅的对象,克拉伦斯的心情瞬间不好了。 „ Your majesty, the present unmet need is too big, has the strength provides this loan such several in the world, our choices almost do not exist. “陛下,现在的资金缺口太大,全世界有实力提供这笔贷款的就那么几家,我们的选择余地几乎是不存在。 If must depend on the international loan solution financial crisis, perhaps we must pay the big price, can borrow money. 如果要靠国际贷款解决财政危机,我们恐怕要付出大代价,才能够借到钱。 Was inferior that we try to find the solution internally, big Russian Empire, but also is insufficient the even/including hundreds of millions rubles, cannot collect. ” 不如我们在国内想想办法,偌大的俄罗斯帝国,还不至于连几亿卢布,都筹集不起来。” Clarence's standpoint is obvious, best do not lend money. This time unmet need is really big, even if taking advantage of bringing in money in the future still. 克拉伦斯的立场非常明显,最好还是不要去借钱了。这次的资金缺口实在是太大,就算是借来了钱未来也还不起。 Now they can take to work as the collateral the chip is not many, besides the national territory of length and breadth, Clarence does not think that also other thing, can the mortgage loan have so many money to come. 现在他们能够拿出来当抵押品的筹码不多,除了广袤的国土外,克拉伦斯不认为还别的东西,能够抵押贷款出这么多钱来。 Repudiating a debt is not easy, but there is a loan of mortgage to be different. Now has the strength to the donor who they provide the loan, no fruit cake, others must take away the collateral when the time comes, can't fight a war? 赖账不还容易,可是有抵押的贷款不一样。现在有实力给他们提供贷款的金主,没有一个软柿子,到时候人家要收走抵押品,总不能打一仗吧？ This obviously is not possible, if there are the money of fighting a war, they have repaid a debt. The war in fact is the most luxurious toy, does not suit the poor person to play. 这显然是不可能的,如果有打一仗的钱,他们早就还债了。战争实际上是最奢侈的玩具,不适合穷人玩儿。 Feels embarrassed with it when the time comes, might as well throw off the table to consider as finished ahead of time. The government does not have money, finds the rich person to want. The first time was not did in any case, the ancestor remained was experienced. 与其到时候为难,不如提前掀翻桌子算了。政府没钱,就找有钱的人要。反正也不是第一次干了,祖宗留下来的有经验。 Doing a ticket is big, not only can at one stroke the debt crisis, perhaps can also select toward belt-bag. The pig has raised very much fat, now can kill. 干一票大的,不但可以一举解决债务危机,没准还可以往腰包里塞点儿。猪已经养得很肥了,现在可以杀了。 Alexander II nods, this perhaps is not the best choice, is actually the choice of most suitable Tsar government. 亚历山大二世点了点头,这或许不是最好的选择,却是最适合沙皇政府的选择。 Under the tacit understanding of Tsar senior government officials, the Jew started unlucky. The upper-level goal is only the Jewish finance capitalist, but the Jew of middle and lower level also met with a disaster. 在沙皇政府高层的默契下,犹太人开始倒霉了。上层的目标只是犹太金融资本家,但是中下层的犹太人同样遭了殃。 The aristocrats naturally cannot let up this getting rich opportunity, the reformist, is the conservative faction, on this issue, standpoint unprecedented consistency. 贵族们自然不会放过这个发财的机会,无论是改革派,还是保守派,在这个问题上,立场都空前的一致。
