The first major thing de Gaulle did after coming to power was to buy centrifuges from Daming, and then build the first uranium enrichment plant in Gaul to make atomic bombs.

Originally, their first atomic bomb in history was slowly saved up from the production of plutonium from reactors, and this was accelerated after de Gaulle came to power, before de Gaulle came to power, they actually only had one production reactor, which could produce up to twelve kilograms of plutonium per year. When de Gaulle came to power, two larger-scale production reactors were built in succession to make the atomic bomb, and their first gaseous diffusion uranium enrichment plant was actually not built until six or five years, and the first batch of weapons-grade uranium was not obtained until six or seven years.

But now it doesn't have to be that much trouble.

Direct stack centrifuge on uranium enrichment plant.

In order to equip their Dreadnought nuclear submarine with a sufficient number of nuclear bombs in the shortest possible time, de Gaulle decided to continue to build a plutonium production reactor while buying centrifuges from the Ming Dynasty to build Gaul's first large-scale uranium enrichment plant, and strive to explode Gaul's first nuclear bomb before 60 years.

As for the lack of funding......

This is simple, selling land, didn't Yang Feng have long been thinking about St. Martin?

Then simply sell it to him, anyway, the people of the United States have stabbed Gaul several times, and they are still giving arms to the Algerian guerrillas through the Italians, which he also knows very well, and even in order to prevent Yang Feng from getting St. Martin, the promised aid was only given less than half. This time also happened to teach them a lesson, let them know that Gaul is a completely independent country, and what the Gauls want to do, they don't need to ask for the approval of the United States.

"St. Maarten is not worth a few bucks. I think you should be well aware of that. Besides, I don't have much use there. Can I really deploy bombers there? ”

Yang Feng said with a smile.

St. Maarten wasn't enough, he now had another better place in mind.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?"

Pierre asked, confused.

"Your foreign debt is high, isn't it?"

Yang Feng asked again.

Pierre nodded awkwardly, three billion dollars of foreign debt is of course high, and many of these foreign debts are due soon.

"How many of them are from the Ming Imperial Bank?"

"Eight hundred million dollars."

"Give me New Caledonia, and write off the $800 million debt, including St. Maarten, of course."

Yang Feng said.

Pierre gasped.

"But there's nickel there."

He swallowed and said.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Who wants a place where there is no mine? The island, which is less than 20,000 square kilometers, adds up to tens of thousands of people. Do you think it's worth 600 tons of gold if you don't have any resources? Of course, even if it belongs to the Ming Dynasty, your Gallic company's assets there will definitely not move, and the nickel ore that belongs to them is still theirs, but the mining rights in other places are just given to my people. ”

Yang Feng said.

800 million US dollars is not a small amount, at this time it is a huge amount of wealth, so huge that the foreign exchange reserves of most countries do not necessarily have these, in fact, at this time the country can have more than 800 million US dollars of foreign exchange reserves, then it has to be a decent big country, but hundreds of millions of them are piled up. Like Daming, which exceeds 10 billion, it is a miracle, and Britain's foreign exchange reserves are less than 3 billion!

"But. Your Excellency, we are in dire need of funds now. ”

Pierre said.

What he means is that even if you forgive this part of the debt, it will not really make any difference to our current situation, after all, we have spent everything we borrowed from you, and now the fiscal deficit of 1200 billion francs is the most urgent need to solve, and this needs to be injected with new funds.

"I'll lend you another 500 million dragon dollars!"

Yang Feng said with a wave of his hand.

These dragon yuan are enough to buy 10,000 centrifuges.

"Okay, I'll report back to China right away."

Pierre hurriedly took his leave.

"Go, let the Imperial Bank put on another printing line!"

After he left, Yang Feng said to Hu Hao.

Although everyone understands this game of printing money, as long as Yang Fengyin's banknotes can make people buy something satisfactory, they can lend the Gauls 500 million dragon dollar bills, and then they can use these banknotes to buy the centrifuges they need from the Ming Dynasty, in this sense, these 500 million dragon dollar bills are equivalent to the 500 tons of gold it itself represents.

New Caledonia is a good place, in addition to having 25% of the world's nickel ore reserves, more importantly, you can build a military base to scare the kangaroos.

However, this matter depends on whether de Gaulle has this kind of courage, after all, the area of this island is relatively large, 18,000 square kilometers, even if there is no other really valuable thing except nickel ore, but the area alone is also very visually impactful, if it is not for people like de Gaulle to govern, others may not even have to think about it.

But it's not such a place, it's not worth 800 million US dollars, like the kind of sea desert island without any resources, let alone 800 million US dollars, 80 million is not rare, it is precisely because of resources that it is worth this price, everyone is familiar with it, and it is not yet time to disregard interests for the sake of feelings, and Yang Yuantou will not be the wronged leader.

Besides, the deal itself is beneficial to Gaul, although the New Caledonian nickel mine was discovered in the sixties of the last century, but even if it is replaced by the Ming rule, the interests of the Gallic nickel mining enterprises there can still be guaranteed, there is nothing to doubt about this, those European companies in the Ming Dynasty can prove this, Yang Fuhrer has always had a good record in this regard, so the Gallic capital community will not worry about anything.

At most, the Gallic government reduces taxes every year.

But New Caledonia itself only has a mining industry, without any smelting capacity, and all the mined ore is shipped to Europe for smelting, so Gaul can't collect much tax from those miners a year, and there is only 300,000 people in modern times, and it is estimated that there are 100,000 at this time, and half of them are Kanaks, that is, natives, and the number of whites is probably only 30,000 or 50,000.

It can be said that as long as de Gaulle has the courage to resist the pressure of public opinion, then this deal will definitely succeed.

Once New Caledonia is in its hands and then Western Australia is taken, the kangaroo will completely fall into the pocket of the Führer.

As for the rest, it's very simple, the Chinese immigrated to Australia on a large scale, striving to spend decades dyeing this continent yellow, of course not Western Australia, Western Australia has many mineral resources but not much land suitable for habitation, and it is also a point in the southwest corner, but Dongao is different, the entire southeast coast is full of moist fertile land, not to mention that it is very easy to feed 35 million people, and there will be no more immigrants in the future, just 20 million meanings.

If the whites dare to object, then tighten the noose.

They will know what to do, just share the rich land with them, and not rob them.

Yang Feng's proposal gave de Gaulle a real headache, this is a good deal, it is indeed a good deal, New Caledonia is not worth 800 million US dollars at all, no matter how you calculate it, they have made a bargain, not to mention that there is a loan of 500 million dragon dollars.

This loan is of great significance to him, whose fiscal deficit is as high as 1200 billion francs, and the exchange rate of francs against the US dollar at this time is 490 to 1, that is to say, their fiscal deficit is 2.4 billion US dollars, and 500 million dragon dollars is 625 million US dollars, which is equivalent to Yang Feng solving more than a quarter of his financial deficit at once.

More importantly, this huge amount of money in hand is enough for him to maintain the military expenses of the Algerian war in the short term, of course he can't really buy 10,000 centrifuges, buy one or two thousand to make do with it first, and then introduce patents to produce their own is the right reason, and Yang Feng's factory is impossible to produce so many centrifuges at once in a short period of time, so that most of the loans can be used for military expenses, anyway, the Ming production of arms is more popular with the military, so that he can repay the military who put him on power.

The same $800 million in debt forgiveness was equivalent to more than a quarter of Gaul's foreign debt, which was not due all at once, and the forgiveness of this part gave him enough room to maneuver without having to worry about the debt problem in a short time.

In short, the biggest annoyance he is currently facing is solved at once.

Of course, New Caledonia is important, it is one of the world's major suppliers of nickel ore and the largest territory of Gaul in the Pacific, but then again, if it weren't, who would have bought it for a whopping $800 million?

$800 million is enough to build four Clemenceau-class aircraft carriers.

It can be said that purely from the perspective of interests, it is absolutely cost-effective to sell, the only problem is that it will cause damage to his reputation, after all, he has just come to power and sold land, which will be ridiculed anyway, and there are many people staring at him now, especially his coming to power is not right, and there are many people waiting to find an opportunity to knock him down, but as long as the military is still supporting him, these people can't afford to make any waves.

So after thinking about it, de Gaulle decided to submit the matter to the parliament for study, and all he could do was to try to get the parliament to agree.

But it's not easy, those politicians' rip-offs are very troublesome, and the people of the United States must stop it, Yang Feng's goal is aimed at Australia at a glance, and the current strategy of the United States is to support the kangaroos to contain Yang Feng, if this guy really gets New Caledonia, it will pose a mortal threat to Australia, and it would be strange if the United States did not go all out to stop it, in the end, the United States is not without people in the Gaul Congress.

In short, even if he wanted to sell, he would need to work hard, but he also added one to Yang Feng's offer.

Qing bomb, he asked Yang Feng for Qing bomb technology, especially miniaturization technology. (To be continued.) )
