"Promise him!" These were the first words that Prime Minister Tony Blair said to Winston after the first meeting broke up.

"But the Prime Minister, an increase of two million gold francs at once is not a small amount!" Winston didn't think that the prime minister didn't want to do it, so he let him agree.

Although England is the global hegemon, and the Royal Bank of England is one of the top banking giants in Europe, it can take out 10 million gold francs at once, which is the first time since England was founded.

The Royal Bank of England has not lent a lot of money, but there are not many loans of more than one million gold francs, in fact, if you look at the history of the Royal Bank of England, you can find that there are not a few at all.

But now it is better not only to accept an interest-free loan of eight million gold francs, but also to pay an additional two million gold francs.

At this moment, the liquidity of the Royal Bank of England is almost gone.

The Royal Bank of England has money, but it didn't spend it that way before.

Prime Minister Tony Blair didn't care about this, he only knew that if he could pull the Rus' country to his side, then France would be just a clown jumping off the beam, and there would be no way to pose a threat to England in the future.

In Europe, apart from England, there are only three countries that really have influence on the real Europe: France, Rus' and Austria.

As a traditional power, although Austria has influence, its national strength is declining, and it can only affect the surrounding small countries and some countries in Eastern Europe, not to mention it.

In other words, if England fully supports the Rus' state, in fact, the Rus' country has the ability and conditions to compete with the French court.

Although the economy of the Rus' country is really high, the national strength of a country cannot only look at its economy.

Just like Russia in later generations, although the economy is very bad, no one will think that the economic powers of Britain, France, Germany and Japan are stronger than Russia.

The same is true of the current Rus' country, so in Prime Minister Tony Blair's view, as long as England can pull the Rus' country to its side, the Rus' country has the strength to compete with France. In this way, France has the constraints of the Rus' state, and England has enough space and time to maintain its global maritime supremacy.

Otherwise, because of the constraints of France, England will inevitably allocate a lot of energy and resources to fight France.

Besides, is England short of the ten million gold francs?

Perhaps for the Royal Bank of England, 10 million gold francs is a huge amount of money, but for England as a whole, 10 million gold francs is only a small amount, not even a dime.

The English Empire had numerous overseas colonies, and the output of these colonies alone allowed England to gain at least tens of millions of gold francs every year.

So for the 10 million gold francs, in fact, Blair himself did not feel anything.

Just because Blair doesn't feel it doesn't mean Winston doesn't feel it.

At this moment, Winston felt an incomparably painful pain.

10 million gold francs is almost emptying the liquidity of the Royal Bank of England, if something happens at this time, or if a big customer wants to withdraw money from the Royal Bank of England, I am afraid that the Royal Bank of England will be in big trouble.

Regarding Winston's grievances, Blair said directly: "Then you won't unite a few more banks?" ”

"Who would do such a thing in the next bank?" Winston smiled wryly.

The Royal Bank of England is different from other banks because the Royal Bank of England is not only a bank, but also holds the right to issue money in England, which means that the Royal Bank of England is in fact the central bank of England.

It is also for this reason that this loan from the Rus' country must be financed by the Royal Bank of England.

After all, a discerning person knows that this loan is actually a waste, who has the reason to invest money in it?

I'm only afraid of fools!

……

Eventually, Winston approved a loan of 10 million gold francs to the Rus' state.

However, Winston put forward his own requirements to Lopunov, that is, the previous loan of 8 million gold francs could be an unsecured interest-free loan, but the additional 2 million gold francs later must be secured by the Rus' state in kind.

Lopunov also understood that this was already Winston's bottom line, so after careful consideration, Lopunov decided to mortgage a large iron mine in the country and lend the two million gold francs.

The agreement between the two parties is formally signed, which is considered to be the official effect of the loan.

Hugo, the president of the Banque de France in Moscow, naturally did not know about this. The first to know about this was Louis XVIII, the Emperor of France, who lived in Paris.

Between France and England, there was only a narrow English Channel, and Louis XVIII naturally knew about it.

After all, it was a loan of 10 million gold francs, and it was naturally impossible for such a large amount of money to move without any rumors getting out.

Knowing this, Louis XVIII was furious and roared in the Palace of Versailles. On the one hand, he secretly scolded Hugo for not being able to do things, and on the other hand, he scolded Russ for his treachery.

But no matter how Louis XVIII scolded, things were already like this, and he had no chance of reversing it.

Louis XVIII urgently recalled Hugo and consulted with him about the next steps.

After all, because of the sudden defection of the Rus' state, the situation in France suddenly became worse, and they had to find a solution.

On the other hand, after reaching an agreement with the Rus' state, the last group of soldiers in the port of London to reinforce Tianzhu were personally sent off by Her Majesty the Queen, and the warships slowly sailed out of the dock and headed for Tianzhu.

After staying in London for a few days, Lopunov took the cashier's check of 8 million gold francs issued by the Royal Bank of England and sailed directly to Paris, the capital of France.

This time, Lopunov wants to earn back all the face that he and His Majesty Alexander II lost in Moscow, and he also wants to slap the French Emperor Louis XVIII in the face.

If it weren't for them, how could I lose so much face?

Thinking about the time when he was in Moscow before, he wagged his tail and begged for mercy in front of Hugo like a grandson every day, and Lopunov secretly hated it.

The day of Lopunov's arrival in Paris was the day after Hugo was recalled.

Here, before Hugo could discuss a solution with Louis XVIII, there Lopnov came to the door and dangled there with the cashier's note of the Royal Bank of England worth eight million gold francs, but he did not throw it in Hugo's face......
