Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

The French have also been very depressed lately, and in the first few months they were happy that Russia had finally chosen France over Germany, but after a few days of complacency, the Russians showed signs of repentance. God knows how the Germans operated, and God knows what the German prince said to the Russians. This time, the attitude of the Russians was very resolute, either the battleship was bought by Spain, or Russia bought it back by itself, and it must not fall into the hands of the Japanese anyway!

It is true that the French are in control of the money bags of the Russians, but it does not mean that the Russians cannot raise money from other channels, and the control is mutual, the Russians need the French francs, and it is also necessary to ensure that a strong Russia poses a threat to Germany. The French were well aware that the bayonets of the Russians were vital to the safety of France, and that as long as Russia was present, even if relations between Russia and Germany were good, France would be safe, after all, Russia could not sit idly by and watch Germany enter Paris again.

And the point is that the first wave of loans has already been delivered to the Russians. Even if the Russians repent, can the French take back the francs that they ate into the stomach of Russia? What do you think!

Former French Ambassador to Russia. Sánchez succeeded in ruining Ruprecht's business, and was later rewarded at home and returned to China to become the French Foreign Ministry's deputy minister. As a result, the dude sat in his office in Paris for a few days, and before he had anything to do with the enthusiastic female secretary, he was forced to come to Germany to talk to the Russians about it. In Sanchez, even if something unexpected, his relationship with Robanov should be not bad, after all, he gave him the benefit of 500,000 francs.

As a result, the Russian foreign minister did not give Sanchez a good face at all. As if it was not Sanchez who gave him the benefit, but took 500,000 francs from him! Well, now is not the time to dwell on these things, it is important to get down to business first.

"It is unacceptable for your country to buy back these two warships. This is a violation of the agreement we once made with each other. However, in order to guarantee the interests of your country in the Far East, we can do our best to support the Spaniards in the purchase of these two warships, and we can provide the Spaniards with special loans. And the interest rate is very low. Now the Spaniards are suppressing uprisings in the West Indies and the Philippines. Moreover, the United States and Britain are not friendly to them, and they will not refuse aid from us. "Sanchez came up with a plan for France.

The French had squeezed Germany out of the Russian naval market at such a high cost, and now how could they give up with a little setback? The Russians did not need German battleships very urgently, after all, as long as these two battleships did not fall into the hands of the Japanese, then the situation in the Far East was still within an acceptable range, so the end result was that everyone took a step back, France provided loans to Spain, and Russia continued to buy French warships!

"We will fully support your country in buying these two warships, and we can provide you with low-interest loans. We are on the same page as your country on the position of preventing Japan from acquiring these two warships, and Russia and France will become your country's friends. The day after the meeting between the representatives of Russia and France, Lobanov approached Sevela and expressed his goodwill to him, and the French government contacted the Spanish government directly, promising to provide him with financial support.

At the same time, intelligence about the activities of the Americans behind the scenes had already reached the ears of the Spaniards. An atmosphere of rain is about to come and the wind is blowing over the country. As a declining empire, the Philippines and the West Indies were among the few remaining colonies of the Spaniards. On the one hand, it is the last fig leaf of the empire, and on the other hand, it can also bring some benefits to Spain, which cannot be easily abandoned, both politically and economically. And when Russia and France expressed their support for Spain, Spain, which was full of confidence, decided to buy both warships in response to possible military action by the United States!

The Spaniard was unexpectedly hit on the head by this package. The Russians announced that they were withdrawing from the bid, and that Russia and France would provide financial support. Evera immediately felt full of confidence, and in order to completely overwhelm his opponents, the Spaniards raised the price tag for the two ships to 900,000 pounds!

Although 900,000 pounds is already 200,000 pounds higher than the 700,000 pounds proposed by Prince Ruprecht! When converted into silver, it is about 1.3 million taels! But this price is still very cheap for a warship of this class. And after learning that the Americans had intervened in this matter, the vigilance of the Spanish team in the United States was greatly increased! If before the two sides were only hostile. Then now in the hearts of the Spaniards, the United States and Spain can already be regarded as enemies! I don't know when to fight!

Historically, Fuji and Yashima, what a garbage thing, the 12-inch L40 terrace gun, which still uses non-hardened armor, the defense indicators are garbage, and the defense area is even more garbage in the garbage. The amount of firepower projection is simply on the same level as that of Munich-class armored cruisers. Just such a commodity costs more than 1 million pounds. What is there to complain about when the Spaniards paid £900,000 for two warships that far surpass Fujiba?

"We've reported this to the president, and it will take some time for the official document to arrive, and the points you mentioned will be described in detail in the document." Roosevelt said as he looked at the young and somewhat unspeakable rival in front of him.

"Good. When you sign it, the fate of these two ships has already been decided. Ruprecht said with a smile.

"Are you so sure that the Japanese can come up with a high price?" Wilson had a natural hostility towards the prince, who had always been confident. The other party was too arrogant, and his arbitrariness, arrogance and methods made the university professor very dissatisfied.

"Britain and Japan are closer than you can imagine, and if I exclude my personal factors, the Japanese would have won without you." The prince said.

"You seem to have a natural aversion to Japan and England." Hay said.

"My hatred for Japan stems from my knowledge of Japan as a nation. And my resentment with the British is because of each other's conflicting interests and what they do. Before the Sino-Japanese War, I didn't really hate the British. The current Britain is to give the king of the old era, and the whole world is under the control of Britain, which makes the emerging countries very dissatisfied. The prince said.

"You are prejudice, a prejudice based on hegemony." Hay said with some dissatisfaction.

"Say whatever you want! Believe me, in 3 years, you will definitely hate Britain more than I do! Believe it or not! I bet £10,000 and if you win I'll give you £10,000. If I win, you can give me $1. How's that, dare to bet? The prince said with a sense of relief that he had never felt before.

"As you wish." Hay said with a calm face.
