Chapter 1937 Pocket Small Country

Liechtenstein was a close ally of Austria. At that time, Grand Duke John II also participated in the 1866 Pakatan Harapan War as an ally.

However, the Principality only sent an army of 80 people, and they were struggling on the road. Before they reached the battlefield, the Austrian army was defeated in the Battle of Sadovar.

The army in Liechtenstein was rescued due to its slow movements and delayed the opportunity to fight, and the country was able to maintain independence. Soon afterwards, John II, who was still in fear, announced the disbandment of the army, retaining only a small number of police officers, and declared permanent neutrality, and the neutral policy has been maintained until now.

After the end of the P-April-Austrian War, the Principality of Liechtenstein declared independence, but due to the special relationship between the Liechtenstein family and Austria, Liechtenstein was still attached to Austria. Before World War I, Liechtenstein's relationship with Austria was closer than that with Switzerland. Even before the outbreak of World War II, successive dukes basically lived in Vienna, the capital of Austria, rather than in the Vaduz Castle in Liechtenstein.

John II reigned for 71 years and was a wise monarch in Liechtenstein's history. In 1921, Liechtenstein made a major revision of the original constitution and declared that the state system was a constitutional monarchy based on parliament, and the head of state was hereditary.

The parliament is elected every four years, and the law can only take effect only if approved by the duke. The ZF includes the prime minister, deputy prime minister and three committee members, appointed by the duke according to the recommendations of the parliament, for a term of four years.

However, John II was introverted and never married for life. In 1929, after the old and virtuous Grand Duke passed away, his brother Franz de Paula ascended the throne, later called Franz I, and remained neutral until the spring of 1938 when he was incorporated into the Great German Empire in Austria. Franz I, 84, announced his abdication and nominated his 31-year-old cousin, Franz Joseph II as his successor.

After Franz Joseph II ascended the throne, he moved the royal family from Vienna to Liechtenstein, the first monarch to live in his country in more than 200 years.

However, not long after his succession, World War II broke out, and the neutral policy that Liechtenstein had always pursued allowed the country to escape the catastrophe.

Of course, the reason is also considered by ZZ. Nacui is obviously unwilling to commit crimes against Switzerland for invading this small country. After all, Switzerland's military products are urgently needed by Germany, and they can also provide certain conveniences to the Third Reich in terms of finance.

In short, during World War II, Liechtenstein's economy continued to develop, and among the people who fled from Germany and Austria were both intellectuals and capitalists. They brought knowledge and funds, laying the foundation for the great industrial development of Liechtenstein.

After World War II, thanks to the ideal low tax rate environment, permanent neutral status and perfect central geographical location, Liechtenstein attracted many companies to register in the country, and the financial services industry rose rapidly and became the country's second largest economic pillar.

As another financial center adjacent to Switzerland, Liechtenstein has attracted many customers with its sustainable and stable office, complete legal guarantees and high-quality services.

Yang Cheng's European holding company is registered in Liechtenstein.

However, he hasn't been there yet. When he has the opportunity, he is planning to rent the following Chitenstein to travel across the country.

Yes, this small European country can be rented out as a whole.

In the end, he did not agree to help William. The castle was enough to satisfy its fantasy. It was unnecessary to buy too much. In fact, if it weren't for the ancient castle of Beihai Manor that had been renovated many times, Yang Cheng would have invested a lot of money after taking over, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to live in the castle.

Of course, if it is the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany or the Vaduz Castle in Liechtenstein, Yang Cheng will definitely be willing to pay for this money. After all, the castles in mainland Europe have a more beautiful scenery and more historical significance.

I thought about it and asked Old John to arrange it directly, and then hugged his wife and fell asleep.

The next morning, while the family was having authentic country breakfast, Old John came over and said, "It's all arranged, and a Middle Eastern prince happened to have an appointment for a week-long rental plan starting from next Monday.

But because the domestic affairs are about to cancel the reservation, I discussed it with them and sublet it to us as soon as the original price."

Yang Cheng nodded and said, "Where is the price?"

"70,000 US dollars a night, 490,000 US dollars a week~"

“Yes~”

Yang Sen said curiously, "What did you rent?"

Yang Cheng smiled and explained, "I had a sudden idea last night and was going to visit Liechtenstein. I happened to hear that they had a project for renting a country, so I thought about trying it out. I didn't expect that my luck was pretty good. If I scheduled a normal schedule, I would have to wait for at least half a year~"

Yang Sen is also very interested. After all, he has done renting a car, renting a house, renting a plane, or renting a yacht, but he has never rented a country. "We will go together then~"

"Of course, you can bring up to 150 groups. If you have friends, you can call them~"

"Forget it, let's play by our own family. It's boring to call outsiders~"

"Okay~ Grandpa and grandpa will go together by then~"

Liu Muqian was eating authentic fried dough sticks, and there were traces of soy milk left on his mouth.

"Go~Go, it's really fresh to rent a country."

...

In this way, after spending a pretty lively Spring Festival in China, the Yang family took the Xinyuanshan to Switzerland and took a bus to Liechtenstein here. This country is too small and there is no place to build an airport.

Liechtenstein has decided to rent the entire country from 2011 and clearly priced at $70,000 a night.

This country, which is so small that it has no sense of existence, is located in the Rhine Valley in the Alps. It is adjacent to Switzerland with the Rhine as its border on the west, and on the east, it is bounded by mountains and Austria that belong to the Alps.

Only about one-third of the area on the west side of the country is located in flat river valleys, and most of the rest are mountainous. The only natural lake is Gampriner Seele, which was caused by the erosion of the flooded Rhine River more than 80 years ago.

Some people say that Liechtenstein can be described as "one country, one street". He went abroad after getting in a car and having a cigarette.

Indeed, the total area is only 160.5 square kilometers, 26 kilometers long from north to south, and an average width of 6 kilometers from east to west. It is one of the smallest countries in Europe.

If you drive along its border line, it will only take more than half an hour to complete the transfer.

The population is even smaller and it is speechless, with a total of only 32,000, and one-third of them are from the migrant population of neighboring countries. It is hard to imagine that such a small area and sparsely populated area is an independent sovereign state.

Liechtenstein has not joined the EU, so it has never had any sense of existence in Europe. It is also the only country whose official language is German but has no borders with Germany.

However, although the land is small and the population is sparse, it has an extremely high level of national income. Foreign relations are completely entrusted to Swiss agents, and the currency is also in use by Swiss francs.

Because there is no sense of existence, the country has always been calm and there is no trouble of war.

But in 2007, a Swiss army lost its way due to a storm and accidentally ran to their country, "military invasion" without warning. Then, the arrogant nations ZF became angry: We have always been in a good way and live our own lives in peace. No matter how you say it, you come over and hit me without saying anything?

It's too bad to play by the rules.

However, in the end, both sides discovered that this was actually just a misunderstanding caused by the storm. The country sent troops to participate in the war seriously. As mentioned earlier, the funny thing was that they sent a total of 80 people, but 81 people came back. Not only were they all unscathed, but they also brought back an Italian soldier friend, who had no sense of existence even when fighting.

However, it is such a country that even fights like a soy sauce. Since 2011, it has decided to take out yourself and rent it out. Anyone can rent the entire country as long as they give them money, at a price of 70,000 US dollars per night, and can also bring a group of 150 people. During this period, 110 JCs across the country can be dispatched by you. Of course, you don’t expect to be a mighty person here. The role of JC is at most to provide you with some travel information.

Of course, Liechtenstein was not rented out because it was poor. In fact, this country with a per capita GDP of up to 60,000 euros is quite rich. It once ranked first in the world and has a very low crime rate. In other words, any citizen in this country whose economy is above the middle level can realize his dream of becoming the "real" master of this country by spending his own income for a year.

Entering the Liechtenstein border, a person in charge will soon come to greet you. As a temporary "owner" of the country, you will first get a symbolic key at the parliamentary ceremony.

Immediately afterwards, the person in charge told Yang Cheng that tonight, the prince of Liechtenstein will host the Yang family in the Vaduz Castle. Before that, their family will take a royal carriage and travel at home in the "domestic".

It will never make you bored for a whole week. It is winter now. You can also go skiing and sledding in the Alps. You can stay in the Vaduz Castle every night, enjoying a big meal while tasting the fine red wine from the royal private wine cellar, overlooking the country.

It is said that the Vaduz Castle is not open to the public, and only tourists who enjoy the rental business can enter the castle and appreciate this temple-level treasure house. It is said that the treasures collected in the castle are richer than those of the British royal family.

I had a good rest on the plane and it was not tiring to travel. After arriving in Liechtenstein, I attended a "authorization" ceremony that made me feel a little embarrassed. They took a carriage and walked on the streets of Vaduz. There were almost no high-rise buildings here. The buildings along the street were very distinctive, and each building was different.

However, although the carriage in the middle of winter is covered, it is still a little cold. After all, it is located in a valley and there is still unmelted snow on the street.
