War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny
Chapter 74 Idiot Genius and Madman
But now, Adjani has a new mission.
The top brass of the Polish Nationalist Army received accurate information, and Archduke Franz Karl brought 7 million expected banknotes into Schönbrunn Palace.
The top management decided to let the Violet Knights take over the mission to find out and find Franz Karl's money.
This money was used to support the widows and their children of the victims of the Polish Uprising in 1830, to help them survive their difficulties, and to be reserved to fund the restoration of Poland.
Adjani's Violet Knights eliminated those who wanted to forget their past after getting married, and there were still twenty-three people. Six of them had special status and were temporarily unable to participate in the operation, and two others who were injured were also unable to participate.
Among the remaining members of the Order was a young girl she particularly liked, named Caroline.
But rather than using intelligence to deal with her opponents, she prefers to kill them physically. The vases and porcelain are Caroline's weapons, and they are very effective when used to hit people. However, each time they are used, a large amount of physical evidence will be left at the scene.
Caroline had no problem pretending to be a prostitute in a dark alley or working as a waitress in a noisy bar.
But it was too much for Caroline to wander around in the upper class and make excuses with the nobles.
In fact, Archduke Franz Karl welcomed him as long as he drank.
Adjani herself was very dissatisfied with the top management of the Polish Nationalist Army. Over the years, she and her sisters of the Violet Knights tried every means to raise funds for the Polish Nationalist Army.
They sometimes pretend to be a song and dance troupe, they can perform songs and dances, they can also rob homes, they can also deceive and deceive, and they can set up traps. It can be said that they do everything possible.
But those politicians and military officers who keep saying they want to restore the country are just enjoying the benefits brought by their good reputation. Some even use the funds of the restoration army to keep mistresses in Paris and live a life of luxury.
The war has ended five years ago. The senior officials have never thought about going to war with Russia. They just keep borrowing money from everywhere in the name of the Polish Restoration Army and letting those who are interested in restoring the country do dirty things for them.
These people have long forgotten the hatred between the country and the family, and have long forgotten those compatriots who are still digging potatoes in Siberia...
But Adjani still accepted this task, because these 7 million florins can allow the Polish people in exile to live a good life for a few years. As one of the leaders of the Polish Restoration Army, she will definitely speak at high-level meetings Give those poor people the rights they deserve.
The Polish Nationalist Army now has three thousand men in name, but it needs to work for the livelihood of 20,000 exiles.
Archduke Franz Karl, some people say he is an idiot, some say he is a genius, and now even more people say he is a hidden careerist.
However, people in Vienna generally believed that the Archduke was a madman. After all, a genius who is incomprehensible is a madman.
Archdeacon Franz would hunt for wild boars on the streets of Vienna with a shotgun. He could also silence a social elite under the gaze of tens of thousands of people. He would be despised by the homeless people on the street. To be worshiped by someone as proud as Lord Brooke.
Adjani had met Archduke Franz Karl several times. This man seemed to only care about wine and nothing else.
If so, it must be hunting. This kind of person would be an easy target for assassination because he would often break away from the team and go hunting in different places.
But it was not easy to get the money from Franz Karl. After all, stealing the Grand Duke's money and kidnapping an heir to the throne were two completely different things.
Moreover, the guards of Archduke Franz Karl will not be easily taken over.
Adjani has also heard some rumors about Archduke Franz Karl, that is, he used 3 million florins to earn 67 million in the United States (not US dollars, but converted into florins used in Austria) , and successfully escaped from the top.
Not only did it make a lot of speculators and bankers bankrupt, but it also gained the admiration of countless economists.
Afterwards, all 67 million in coins and precious metals were deposited in the Austrian Imperial Chartered Bank.
The Chartered Bank of the Austrian Empire is not a certain bank, but a financial freak created in a special period.
It performs many functions of a central bank, but it cannot be called a central bank. To be precise, it should be a monster that emerged after a compromise between a group of financiers hired by Austria and domestic bankers.
This 67 million in real money immediately boosted Austria's confidence in banks, so the run on banks did not last long in Austria.
Later, he used the expected money in exchange to go all out in the Austrian stock market with another Archduke Karl, and successfully bought the Austrian railway at the bottom.
Franz Carl bought the stock at one-third of its peak, and a week after the purchase the stock returned to its high price.
What Adjani admired most was not the Grand Duke's successful bargain hunting and making huge profits, but the Grand Duke's courage.
In the financial tsunami, no one wants to take the risk of depositing money in the bank.
Because most of the banks at this time were private, depositors would lose all their money if they failed.
And he was willing to take such a huge risk and put a huge fortune in the bank.
You must know that although Archduke Franz Karl is a member of the royal family, the royal family and the imperial government belong to two completely different concepts.
He can do many things with the money, spend time and money, and even buy everything he wants.
Adjani admired this spirit of taking risks and dedicating herself to the country. She couldn't help but think about how great it would be if the senior leaders of the Polish Nationalist Army also had this spirit.
In fact, what Adjani didn't know was that after the money was deposited in the Austrian Imperial Chartered Bank, a large number of creditors came to collect debts. However, the consistent attitude of the Austrian Imperial Chartered Bank was to first pay interest on a portion of the expected banknotes upon maturity. We’ll talk about what’s due later.
And these expected money will not be paid in one lump sum, but in batches within ten years.
It was precisely because Franz knew about this rogue operation of the Austrian Imperial Chartered Bank that he dared to deposit the money without any scruples, and was not afraid that someone would withdraw the money to save Prussia or France.
You must know that it was precisely because of this rogue approach that the Austrian Imperial Government was saved from bankruptcy and even killed a large number of creditors.
Now that the Austrian railway company has money and the backing of the royal family, it naturally resumes construction with great fanfare.
At this time, the construction of the three railways from Vienna to Dresden, Vienna to Graz, and Graz to Udine had been completed.
Among them, the railway to Dresden is the busiest railway in the entire Austrian Empire and even the entire German Zolls Union.
Railways have reduced transportation costs by 60%. The journey that used to take ten days now only takes half a day.
At this rate, the railway from Prague to Bayreuth in Bavaria and the railway from Udine to Venice will be completed next year.
As a result, Austria's German Northern Railway is basically completed, and the railway to Venice will further strengthen Austria's control over northern Italy.
