Because of the intervention of the East China Autonomous Political Axe, all the previous preparations of the Six Nations Bank came to naught, and the four banks collectively protested against the East China Autonomous Political Axe.

The Bank of Four Powers accused the East China Autonomous Axe of misappropriating commercial loans to Beiyang Axe, and threatened the East China Autonomous Axe that if they did not stop the loan negotiations with Beiyang Axe, then they would cancel the previous loan and demand that the East China Autonomous Axe return the amount of the loan that had been advanced.

The protests of the banks of the four countries were in an uproar, and the East China Autonomous Government actually borrowed a huge sum of 80 million pounds from these four banks, which can scare people half to death.

Previously, the loan of Huadong Group was not publicized, so basically no one in China knew about it.

Even Yuan Shikai, who knew about it, only thought that the East China Autonomous Government had brought twenty or thirty million pounds with him, but he didn't expect to borrow so much money, which made Yuan Shikai very depressed.

Why did he take advantage of the fire to rob his borrowers, while the East China Autonomous Government could borrow money smoothly?

In Hangzhou, Xia Jun was not afraid of the protests issued by the Four Nations Bank.

Xia Jun immediately released a statement.

"The loans of the banks of the four countries are, firstly, not the loans of our East China Autonomous Government, but the loans of the East China Group, which are purely commercial loans. Second, the East China Autonomous Government has never misappropriated this part of the loan, and the banks of the four countries have not limited the use of the loan in the loan agreement. Third, the loan of the East China Autonomous Political Axe and the Beiyang Political Axe belong to China's internal affairs, and foreign countries have no right to interfere in their internal affairs. Fourth, the loan agreement signed between the four banks and the East China Group stipulates that if the bank defaults, it will refuse to return the funds. Fifth, if the banks of the four countries are sincere in soliciting loans to China, as long as the conditions are suitable, the East China Autonomous Government and the Beiyang Government will consider giving them priority. ”

This statement issued by the East China Autonomous Political Axe made the banks of the four countries very deflated, because they looked like they were brain-dead, and they were simply commercial loans, but they insisted on political loans.

As to whether or not there is any misappropriation of this loan, there is no need to embezzle it at all, because they have just learned from the German bank not long ago that the Germans have identified a loan of 400 million marks for the aid of the East China Autonomous Axe, and they have learned from some American banks that are not in Asia that they have also obtained a loan of $60 million from them with various patents for the East China Group.

In any case, even if people want to embezzle, they will not appropriate them.

While the banks of the four countries were discussing countermeasures, Xia Jun also began indirect negotiations with Germany, and this time Xia Jun threw out mortar technology.

Xia Jun intended to exchange the drawings of the U-29 for some German battleship manufacturing technology, as well as the withdrawal of the German banks in the Four Nations Bank.

Between 1900 and 1912, Germany's maritime power continued to grow, making them one of the few naval powers in the world, but the Germans were well aware that they were far from being rivals to the British naval power.

How can we quickly increase the strength of the navy?

Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany with his confidant general, Admiral Elfred exhausted his brains, and they thought of submarines.

In this era, due to the lack of submarine detection and anti-submarine means, submarines have strong combat effectiveness in the ocean, and Germany can be said to be the country that attaches great importance to submarines in the world.

Germany has coveted the submarine technology in the hands of the East China Autonomous Political Axe for a long time, and when it learned that the East China Autonomous Political Axe was willing to exchange technology for technology, it readily agreed.

As for the interests of German banks in China, Germany could no longer take care of so much, and the naval arms race between Germany and Britain was intensifying.

The Germans built one battleship, and the British built two, in order to outwhelm the German navy in numbers.

Negotiations between the two sides were quickly reached, and the Germans were willing to exchange some advanced shipbuilding technology for the drawings of the U-29, and at the same time force the German banks to withdraw from the alliance of the banks of the Six Nations.

…… The situation soon outgrew the expectations of the banks of the six countries, and the German banks abruptly withdrew from the alliance of the six banks because they were under pressure from the German political axe.

The German bank, which had withdrawn from the alliance, was soon invited by the East China Autonomous Political Axe to participate in the loan negotiations with the Beiyang Political Axe, and strictly speaking, the negotiations had already been reached.

Xia Jun's East China Autonomous Axe was willing to make a long-term loan to Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Political Axe at a 4%, 2% rebate and a price to be repaid in 63 years, and the Beiyang Political Axe was collateralized by the taxes and customs duties of the four central provinces. The taxes of the four provinces have been deposited into the Bank of East China, and then the Bank of East China will deduct the interest and hand it over to the Beiyang political axe.

The German banks were brought in to ask them to lend to Beiyang Zhengaxe according to this condition, and Xia Jun didn't want to get into too much confusion.

After all, the central and local governments, once unified in the future, Xia Jun has nowhere to find anyone to go, it is better to let the gringos lend money, although in the future in the consideration of the credibility of the political axe, he still has to pay it back, but at least he does not have to occupy his funds.

Germany's Deutsch-Hua Bank withdrew from the alliance, which instantly shattered the alliance of the six banks, and then the Bank of Belgium and the Bank of Daosheng also asked to unilaterally join the negotiations.

Since the Bank of Belgium had previously negotiated a loan with the East China Autonomous Axe, and the two sides also had a little friendship, Xia Jun agreed.

After the Belgian banks joined, HSBC and Citibank also asked to join, and France's Crédit Agricole CIB also asked to join, and Xia Jun also asked them to participate.

said that the bank also wanted to intervene at this time, and Xia Jun also agreed. Xiao Yueben's money, don't want to go back if you borrow it, Xia Jun is also happy to see Beiyang Political Axe borrowing from Yueben.

Of course, the premise of this loan is that the conditions of the loan must be set by him.

At this time, the East China Autonomous Political Axe had already negotiated with the Beiyang Political Axe on the top conditions, and these banks were involved, and they no longer had the right to speak in formulating the conditions, and they only subscribed to the 30 million pounds loan.

Since the loan terms are okay, although the interest rate of 4% is not too high for a long-term loan, it is a loan that will not lose money after the guarantee of the East China Autonomous Political Axe, and the tax collateral of the four central provinces and the customs mortgage of the Beiyang Political Axe.

In order to compete for the amount of loans, all seven banks tried to negotiate for more.

In the end, these six banks negotiated with the East China Autonomous Government and the Beiyang Autonomous Government, and HSBC raised 6 million, Deutsch-Hua Bank raised 5 million, Amundi Crédit 5 million, Citibank 5 million, Russia's Daosheng Bank 3 million, Yueben Bank 3 million, and Belgian Bank 3 million, totaling 30 million pounds.

As for what the conditions, none of them.

The mortgage was staked in the Bank of East China, and at the same time, Yuan Shikai privately promised Xia Jun that the taxes of the Beiyang political axe would be deposited in the Bank of East China, which was definitely very profitable.

With the financial deposits of the Beiyang political axe, plus the financial deposits of the East China Autonomous political axe, the East China Bank will become the largest bank in China.

The East China Autonomous Government did not pay a penny in this negotiation, and sought many benefits.

In addition to getting the deposit of the Beiyang political axe, Yuan Shikai will also make the Fuxing coin the only legal tender, but the premise is that the Fuxing coin is revised and Xia Jun's avatar cannot be printed.

Xia Jun agreed to this condition, and replied to Yuan Shikai that he would cancel the avatar.

Yuan Shikai actually wanted to print his avatar, but the meaning of Xia Jun's words had vaguely revealed to him that the Fuxing Coin would not print his avatar, and it would be anyone's avatar.

…… The design of the second version of the Fuxing coin began soon, and in addition to the same anti-counterfeiting technology, the design requirements of this time are more exquisite.

The curtain has also come down on the borrowing of the Beiyang political axe, and under the intervention of the autonomous political axe in East China, foreign banks have not made any windfall profits in China.

The monopoly of foreign banks in China has been completely broken, and there will no longer be any four-, five-, or six-nation banks, and it will no longer be possible for these banks to form a monopoly because of the emergence of the autonomous political axe in East China, so competition will break out among them in the future.

…… Xia Jun also accelerated the construction of the army, Xia Jun set up a 'East China Special Forces' at the end of May, selected 500 people from the scouts and ordinary soldiers in the army, Xia Jun spent 10 million points, and equipped the special forces with a large number of advanced weapons.

From this moment on, this army became the most mysterious force in China. The East China Special Forces mainly carry out infiltration, sabotage, and decapitation operations behind enemy lines.

Wang Cheng, commander of the 06th Regiment of the First Division, was transferred out of the First Division and served as the deputy commander of the East China Special Forces.

The commander-in-chief was personally served by Xia Jun.

At the same time, Xia Jun purchased the M4 Sherman medium tank produced the most in the United States during World War II from the system, although the M4 Sherman heavy tank is not as good as the German and Soviet tanks in terms of armor, but it is reliable, the German tank basically has to go into the factory for overhaul once after driving 1000 kilometers, and the M4 can continue to fight as long as it is regularly maintained.

Because an M4 medium tank is a thing of World War II, the price is as high as 500,000 points, and Xia Jun exchanged 100 for this, mainly for training armored soldiers, and also to deal with the combat of this book.

The tanks of World War I could only cover the infantry and lacked the ability to fight in depth, and the tanks before World War II were basically not very mature.

Xia Jun basically didn't equip those tanks that were too poor, because the driving comfort of those tanks was so low, and the soldiers were simply guilty of sitting in them, and his tank factory was only for export.

Xia Jun used these 100 tanks to form the 'Tiger Assault Battalion', and the assault battalion, like the East China Special Forces, belonged to Xia Jun's direct command. The Tiger Assault Battalion was served by Zhang Yicheng, who performed extremely well among the second batch of cadets of the Army Academy of Xia Junhua Military University, while the commander of his 3rd Mixed Brigade was replaced by the deputy brigade commander.

Zhang Yicheng was suddenly removed as a brigade commander, and was transferred to be the commander of the 'Tiger Assault Battalion' by a piece of paper, which made Zhang Yicheng feel depressed.

As a result, Zhang Yicheng only realized how wrong he was after he arrived at the barracks to report, this Tiger Assault Battalion was actually equipped with combat vehicles.

This kind of chariot is invulnerable, can block the rain of bullets, and is definitely a sharp weapon in war.

Only then did Zhang Yicheng know the principal's hard work, although the military rank was reduced, the important surname of this Tiger Assault Battalion was obviously more important than that of the Third Mixed Brigade.

The 3rd Mixed Brigade is a garrison unit, which may not be able to go to the battlefield, and when it goes to the battlefield, it is also an auxiliary unit of the three infantry divisions, and this Tiger Assault Battalion is a unit that will inevitably be invested on the battlefield in the future, and it is the most elite army unit.

The soldiers of the Tiger Assault Battalion are all literate and can be said to be one of the units with the highest degree of Chinese proficiency in the whole army.
