The German Empire and the Gallic Empire are feuding. The two sides have been grudges for a long time. Especially now, the relationship has become tense. All because of the rise of the German Empire. The two sides already have deep grudges. They are afraid that the rise of the German Empire will threaten them. The atmosphere between the two sides is very tense. He was so nervous that he even attracted the current overlord, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. The Empire was also afraid that the strong rise of Germany would threaten its position as the overlord, so it kept moving to win over some empires to prepare to form the Allied Powers.
The Dongyi people are dogs raised when the sun never sets. Even if they cannot get benefits in the Northeast region, it is not bad to cause some trouble for the Sha'e Empire and the Dongyi people. Their Germanic Empire is developing rapidly, and they will naturally not make more money. miss.
Xu Luowu's heart was as clear as a mirror. Dao Mier planned to ask the Northeast Governor's Palace to borrow the money. If he couldn't pay it back, he could justifiably go to the Qing court to collect the debt. After all, the Northeast Governor's Palace belonged to the Qing court.
"Consul Daumir, you will prepare the loan contract in three days, and I will bring my father over. As for the purchased weapons, I hope Consul Daumil can deliver them as scheduled."
Daumir showed a smile and nodded slightly.
"Mr. Xu, don't worry. Since you have paid, the weapons will naturally be delivered as scheduled. As for the 20 million loan, I will also report it to the empire. This requires the empire's consent to proceed, but you can rest assured that I will Do your best to get the empire to release this loan.”
Granting this loan will bring no harm to the German Empire, and the empire will definitely agree to it.
Leave the consulate.
Xu Luowu got on a new-style carriage. Simply put, it was the sedan of a car, but it had no engine and was pulled by horses.
He returned to the Governor's Mansion again to discuss with his father.
After Xu Shichang learned about it, he showed a solemn expression.
"Luowu, do you know what it means to lend money to me as the governor? The German Empire will definitely add things to the contract that are unfavorable to our Yan country's territory. These Western countries have always coveted our Yan country and want to carve up our Yan country. , a year later, they will definitely use this as an excuse to attack the court."
Xu Shichang looked at him solemnly and said seriously.
"Luowu, although your father is called a ransom fox in the court, he is absolutely unambiguous in terms of national justice. If you can't afford to pay back the 20 million in one year, the German Empire will definitely find the Governor of the Northeast. If the government cedes land, or agrees to their conditions, not only me, but our entire Xu family will be sinners of the Yan Kingdom."
"We, the descendants of the Xu family, will all be called traitors, and we will be sinners through the ages."
Xu Luowu didn't show any worry, with a confident smile on his lips.
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely return the 20 million to the German Empire within a year."
Xu Shichang still looked at him solemnly, and sighed after seeing the determination in his handsome eyes.
"Since you are so sure, then dad will bet on the reputation of our Xu family. Of course, my reputation is not important. The most important thing is that the Germans must not be allowed to occupy our Yan Kingdom's territory."
Seeing his sincere eyes, Xu Luowu was deeply moved in his heart.
"Dad, don't worry, I will never let the Germans occupy an inch of our Yan country's land. Not just the Germans, but any country!"
Xu Shichang nodded happily.
"Luo Wu, I am very proud to have a son like you. The people we should be most wary of are the Dongyi people. These people are just beasts and ambitious."
Xu Luowu's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Dad, I understand what these Dongyi people have done in the Northeast. Sooner or later, I will make them come back with their capital and profits."
Xu Shichang nodded. He didn't even dare to think about getting his capital back with profits. After all, the country's power was too weak. He just hoped that most of his compatriots would not be bullied.
"Luowu, why do you need so many factories and production lines? Although these German machines and equipment are good, we lack raw materials and technology. They will never transfer the technology to us, especially those factory production lines. You can use them. what?"
He understands the military factory. Once they get the raw materials or have a certain foundation, they can imitate their weapons and make their own weapons. But why are there so many production lines in this ordinary factory? He was very puzzled.
"Dad, how much is this? We are still too poor now. If we want to develop, we need money. There are still too few production lines. This is just the early stage. In half a year, I am going to lend money to the Germans again. I want one billion." loan."
Xu Shichang was startled by his words and looked at him dumbfounded, his eyes full of disbelief. A loan of one billion yuan, this much money is enough for the German people to develop for a year, right?
"Luowu, the Germans won't agree to this much money."
Xu Luowu raised his lips.
"Not necessarily, maybe they won't give me that much loan, but I can borrow it in installments. As long as they see my potential and feel that I can bring them enough benefits, I believe he will still be willing to lend to me. In the first year, I only need a loan of 100 million. As time goes by, Germania needs to develop rapidly. As long as it is beneficial, they will agree."
Xu Shichang frowned, showing deep worry. He was very surprised why Xu Luowu was so confident that the Germans would lend him so much money.
Naturally, Xu Luowu would not explain the reason. These foreigners all want to gain benefits from the Yan Kingdom and squeeze the last drop of blood from the Yan Kingdom people. Most of them will choose some puppets in the Yan Kingdom to seize the Yan Kingdom's wealth and resources, especially in the Qing court. After complete disintegration.
As long as he shows great potential in a year and successfully deceives the Germans into believing that he will be obedient, they will definitely give him loans to support him.
In particular, the relationship between the Germans, the Gauls, the sun never sets and other countries has become increasingly tense. They need allies and support, which can be used as the basis for negotiations.
According to the course of history, a war will break out between the Allied Powers and the Entente Powers in less than five years at most.
More importantly, Xu Luowu knew that the German Empire, which was an axis power of the Allied Powers, would be defeated. The Germans were not afraid of him defaulting on their debts because they had strong military force. Once they became a defeated country, they would not be able to take care of themselves, so how could they deter him.
Of course, he would not default on the debt, otherwise other countries would even come forward for the Germans, but they would just delay the repayment.
A strange phenomenon in later generations is that when you borrow tens or even millions from a bank, you feel anxious and uneasy, lest you fail to pay back the loan. If the loan is hundreds of millions or more than one billion, then the bank will be in constant panic, fearing that you will collapse and be unable to repay, and will continue to give you loans to help you regain your glory. Otherwise, they will waste so much money. .
Xu Luowu is also preparing to lure the Germans in step by step. When the time comes, the Germans will never watch him fall, otherwise their investment will be in vain.
