One side guards hurriedly promised to run toward the outside.
William II pondered for a while and then said, "Order my bodyguard to prepare a grand dinner immediately. On the evening, I will give a grand reception to Minister Wu Peifu and his entourage. All the military holiday generals will be present, and when the meeting is over, Little Mocky and Erpitz will accompany Minister Wu Peifu and don’t let him go back to the legation!"
A series of orders arrived.
Aside from schlieffen, although he is very old, his heart is also very clear. It seems that he is determined to borrow money from the Republic of China. Otherwise, he would not have summoned the Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer so urgently, and he would not have let the important officials stall Wu Peifu here. He even held a state banquet as an excuse. This is because he is afraid that Wu Peifu will inform Guofa as soon as he gets back. If the Chinese tiger gets the news from Wu Peifu, it will not open its mouth and kill a knife. The Chinese tiger is not a good man and a woman!
Soon Hollweg and Dietrich Grochini came to the palace and met William II.
Three people don’t know what positions will suddenly summon the three of them at the same time. Isn’t the military the Wu Peifu Minister’s Meeting today? Why did you suddenly summon them?
Several people came to the palace to meet William II and schlieffen. After the ceremony, Hollweg asked, "Are you in such a hurry to summon us?"
William II said, "There is one thing that needs to be handled immediately, that is, I intend to borrow money from the Republic of China. At today’s meeting, General Wu Peifu put forward many opinions on our preparations for war, and saw many shortcomings. However, if we want to improve our preparations for war, it is absolutely not enough to support the loan just by taking the current financial examination!"
Three people were surprised that William was in such a hurry to get a loan!
Glochini quickly asked, "Since we want a loan, we just entrust Andrew to negotiate with the Chinese Republic of China. Why don’t we come forward?"
William II shook his head and replied, "This loan involves a huge amount. I’m going to think less about the loan of the Republic of China of 200 million to 300 million pounds, and the first phase of the loan will also cost 100 million pounds. Where is this huge amount that Andrew can easily complete? Now Wu Peifu has been dragged into the conference room by me. I will immediately make Andrew meet with the Chinese tiger to make our demands, but this is only the first step. I hope that I can take advantage of Andrew’s deep connections in the Republic of China and take Zhang Yi off guard, but once we negotiate deeply. I just need you three to go out. Andrew, the Republic of China will cooperate with you. Holwig, you will leave Germany for the Republic of China and prepare your trip as soon as Andrew writes back! "
Three people ate a surprise, 300 million pounds, which is a huge sum of money! When it’s too big! Not ordinary people can handle it!
William II went on to say, "I should go to the Republic of China in person, but the situation is tense now. I can’t leave Hollweg for a long time. Please do everything. Although the Chinese tiger is very affectionate, it has always been uncompromising when it comes to national interests. Such a large loan will definitely make many demands. You must ask the empire to win back as many interests as possible!"
Holwig nodded and replied, "I’m white!" Do we really need such a large loan? Although the empire is short of financial resources, it still has room for manoeuvre and one breath to launch such a large loan to the Republic of China. Let alone whether the Chinese tiger can take it out, even if it can take it out, it will bring us great pressure to repay the loan in the future! "
William II shook his head bitterly and replied, "Hollweg, there’s nothing we can do about it. It turns out that our General Staff Department is too optimistic about the war. We think the battle can be ended in two years at most, but General Wu Peifu gave us a detailed analysis. I’m afraid the war can’t be ended in three or four years, and we have a deviation in our current war preparation. We must immediately correct and expand our material preparation. But where do we have so much money for material preparation? In a word, if you don’t want to eat bread during the Prime Minister’s war, you must get enough loans in exchange for enough war materials. There is no doubt! "
Hollweg asked, "That Minister Andrew is there …"
William II sink a way, "I have just sent an urgent message to Andrew, and now I’m afraid I’ve gone to the presidential palace or the government Council by bus. We need to wait for news, and I think Andrew will give me a message before dark! Dietford, if I can’t make it to the state banquet in time, I need you to come forward and stabilize Wu Peifu in person. We just want to make a time difference for Andrew to get enough time! "
Chapter one thousand one hundred and twenty Help
Having obtained the William II, Minister Andrew didn’t have any chance to prepare the newspaper. He just said that Andrew should meet with President Zhang Jian and Premier Tang Shaoyi for urgent communication on the loan. No matter how stressful it is, he must get a preliminary result before dark, and the loan amount should not be less than 100 million pounds!
Andrew was almost mad at William II. Is it so torturous? 100 million pounds. That’s 100 million pounds! Half a year’s fiscal revenue of the Republic of China is in it! Where is it so easy to get it? Even if the Chinese tiger is interested, it will take a long negotiation. I am afraid that it will be impossible to negotiate without a few months! You want me to do it in one day?
But William II’s order is a dead order, and it is not allowed to change the net at all.
Andrew looked depressed and had to hurry to call a car and take the counselor to the government Council. Such things need to be negotiated by Premier Tang Shaoyi at the first time and then communicated with Zhang Yi. Tang Shaoyi is the prime minister of the government and is in charge of all the daily affairs of the government. This is unavoidable.
It’s a coincidence that I met Tang Shaoyi smoothly. Today, Zhang Yi also came to Tang Shaoyi to discuss things. Because Andrew is too familiar with personal relationships and leverage, there is naturally not so much taboo. What’s worse, Zhang Yi is still the president.
At the same time, Andrew was overjoyed to see Zhang Yi and Tang Shaoyi. It’s good to make an appointment and solve the problem of saving himself from running errands. It depends on this action!
"General Jian Shaochuan, Prime Minister, you two can help! You can’t live!"
When Andrew came to China for more than ten years, he had been a minister for seven years. China’s words were too slippery, and he dumped the clown even more than China people!
Tang Shaoyi normal this guy already don’t know how much this trick from their own hands, baby, face is thicker than the wall can’t nai way "Andrew, what’s wrong with you we can communicate normally? You also have a tiger before you can be honest for a while … "
Andrew said in a hurry, "Prime Minister, this is a big splash, and everything is going to break the sky. You two must help, or we will really be finished in Germany!"
Tang Shaoyi was angry and funny and replied, "Tell me what the problem is?"
Andrew look at Zhang Yi Zhang Yi didn’t good the spirit way "Andrew, what do you think I’m doing? It’s not like you haven’t blackmailed me. What are you embarrassed to say? "
Andrew lamented and cried, "Is this the image I have in your mind?"
Tang Shaoyi laughed. "Are you still a gentleman in our hearts? How is that possible? You’re just a little bit better than the street. Ha ha ha … "
Andrew Nye said, "All right, let’s get down to business! Jian Shaochuan really has something big this time. Just now, we in William II sent an urgent request that I immediately make an appointment with you to formally request loan assistance from your government. You know that the situation in Europe is tense now, and our empire has invested a lot of wealth in preparation for the war. We have no more money. You can’t from ruin! "
Look at Tang Shaoyi Zhang Yi’s face slightly changed.
Tang Shaoyi also did not have just laughed attitude sink asked "loan? But I know that your country is richer than English. How is that possible? "
Andrew said with a wry smile, "Shaochuan has been able to occupy a favorable position in the future world political structure in the past ten years. We are willing to show an arms race in Britain, and a lot of money has been invested in preparations. Otherwise, your oil, coal, weapons and ammunition will continue to flow into Germany? How much does it cost? "
Tang Shaoyi nodded and asked, "It’s not difficult to get a loan. Before our two countries were always friendly, we received support from your country. Now that your country is in trouble, of course we are willing to help each other. It’s a matter of course!"
Andrew was just about to speak when Zhang Yi asked, "Andrew, how much loan will your country ask us this time?"
Andrew looked a little embarrassed and replied, "William gave me the bottom line of 300 million pounds!" "
Andrew closed his mouth tightly and waited for the storm to come!
Otherwise, Tang Shaoyi will be mad at first. He is a real miser. The loan of 120 million to tens of millions is 110 pounds. This amount is still within his tolerance. How can Tang Shaoyi not be mad if he wants to borrow 300 million pounds in one breath?
"Andrew, you greedy guy, why don’t you grab it? You conjure up 300 million pounds for me! Bastard! "
Tang Shaoyi’s face was livid and he couldn’t care less. It’s no wonder that Andrew looked embarrassed. This number is really dizzy! This figure is an astronomical figure. I haven’t heard of any two countries that will lend 300 million pounds!
