"Someone gave a loan to Soviet Russia?"

It is impossible to conceal the network of Yangzi Bank from the use of 100 million taels of loans in China, and Pan Xun has the ability to raise 100 million taels of loans for Soviet Russia, but he does not have the ability to cross the banking network of the Yangzi Bank Group. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

So it was quickly fed back to Yang Chao, and Chen Guangfu, who presided over Yangzi Bank, felt that this had a strong relationship with Yang Chao, and immediately fed back to Li Sidi, the president of Yangzi Foundation, and Li Sidi sent a report to Siberia.

"Interesting!"

After listening to Zhang Nian's report, Yang Chao gently closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

It is clear that this is someone who is provoking Soviet Russia.

Without investigating, he knew it was Pan Xun.

Soviet Russia is in dire need of funds, they have even done something to starve their own people, and there is nothing else to do.

War is a feast of attrition, and although it can create a huge market, it is ultimately a consumption of materials.

It doesn't matter if it's a country like China with excess industrial capacity, but for Soviet Russia, it's a matter of life and death.

A large number of their factories are used for the production of munitions, so what about the machinery and equipment needed for the industrial program?

In fact, Soviet Russia has already adjusted its policy and improved the conditions in the countryside, and ****** has slowly ended this year, although it is a few months later than in history, and millions more people have starved to death, but it is still over.

There are complicated games behind it, including the political game against Stalin, and Stahlin does not dare to play this crazy game of exchanging human lives for machinery and equipment.

But as the war continues, they will not be able to produce enough machinery and equipment on their own, and in fact, their industrial plans have been greatly delayed, and last year's plan was less than half completed, and if it continues, it is not certain that half of the plan will be completed this year.

Therefore, they can only increase their procurement from abroad, but purchasing from abroad requires funds.

Historically, the famine broke out in Soviet Russia because of the economic crisis in the West. Grain prices dropped sharply, and Soviet Russia not only did not increase the grain requisition quota, which led to a shortage of peasant rations, which can be said to be a double-edged knife. On the one hand, the international border crisis has provided convenience for the import of machinery and equipment from Soviet Russia, and many of the machinery and equipment that were originally blocked by Soviet Russia have also been exported to them, but the funds they need have increased significantly, and Stalin does not want to let go of this opportunity. Therefore, they began to oppress the domestic peasants and squeeze the industrialization funds from the peasants exponentially.

But if they can borrow money, who wants to raise money through such an unethical way, but unfortunately all the countries refused to lend to Soviet Russia, relying on the huge debts of the tsarist era to think that they were taking advantage of the cleverness, and at this time they were isolated from the international financial system.

At this time, Pan Xun provided them with a loan of 100 million taels, and also promised to obtain the follow-up management rights of the Tyumen oil field at a price of 1 billion taels, which would make Stalin crazy and make him think that he had obtained a chicken that laid golden eggs.

"Trouble!"

Think about it for a long time. Yang Chao found that Pan Xun had given himself a difficult problem to solve.

He can also propose to lend to Soviet Russia, providing a loan far beyond Pan Xun, and it is not impossible to give Soviet Russia a loan of 1 billion yuan, a loan of 10 billion yuan, but the problem is that in this way, Soviet Russia will think that the value of the Tyumen oil field is infinite, and its importance to China is incomparable. I won't give up anywhere.

Therefore, if Yang Chao also offered a loan, it would have intensified Soviet Russia's determination to carry the war to the end.

Yang Chao is not afraid of war, in fact, he is affected by the economic crisis, whether it is oil from the Tyumen oil fields. Or the iron ore mines in Tomsk, their importance to China has greatly decreased, and in the northeast there are more than a dozen steel mills that have stopped production, but not because of raw materials, but because of the market.

What Yang Chao was afraid of was that Pan Xun fooled Stalin's uneducated guys. will let those people play with the war, Yang Chao is not afraid that they will fight, it is a big deal to give up Siberia, take his wife back to Shandong to have another son, and he can fight back in World War II in the future.

The problem is that if they continue to fight, they will weaken Soviet Russia too much, their industrial plans will not be completed as planned, their human resources will be over-consumed, while their opponents, the Nazis, have stabilized the German economy step by step, and have begun to create one economic miracle after another, which will complete the preparation for war in the next four or five years.

Historically, the West has criticized Stalin's uselessness, and even influenced Russia to describe him as a tyrant, but it is a very simple truth, if Stalin's did not pay the price of starving tens of millions of people to death, so that Soviet Russia completed two five-year industrial plans, then when the Nazi army came in, what did Soviet Russia resist?

Yang Chao firmly believed that if it were not for the two five-year industrial plans that made Soviet Russia an industrial power, and if their industry was only the scale of the Tsarist era, they would definitely not be able to withstand the Nazi mechanized army group for a year.

For the Netherlands, Belgium and even France, the Nazi occupation of them was nothing more than a kind of colonial rule, but for the Russians, the Nazis were going to exterminate their race, and judging from the Nazis' systematic extermination of Jews and Gypsies, they really did such a horrific thing as exterminating the Russian nation.

At that time, it was not a matter of starving to death of 10 million or 20 million, but whether the Russian nation could exist on this planet, of course, this process of exchanging industrialization at the cost of starving people was quite cruel, but if it was a change of country, if before the Anti-Japanese War, China could starve 10 million people to death in exchange for surpassing Japan's national strength, do you see if people like bald guys and Sun Cannon will refuse?

From the perspective of human beings and people, Staling is cruel and inhumane, but from the perspective of national survival, his approach is correct, and may be the only correct one.

Of course, Yang Chao can't do this kind of thing, his heart hasn't been cold to that point.

And he looked further, he considered the question of how arrogant the Nazis would be after they conquered Soviet Russia, and whether they would attack China in the face of the world's condemnation.

Even if the Nazis would not attack China, Yang Chao still had to consider the balance in World War II.

Yang Chao never wanted to see the Nazis unify Europe, although from a national point of view, Hitler's goods were much stronger to his own people than Stalin's own people, but he was much more cruel to other citizens than Stalin, and it was definitely not a good thing to let such a commodity border with China.

Just as in the past a Russian empire was wanted to entrench itself in Siberia to buffer Soviet Russia, a strong Soviet Russia is now needed to cushion China and the totalitarian empires of Europe.

So Soviet Russia can no longer be weakened.

"Help me get the American ambassador."

Yang Chao thought about it, he still had to deal with this challenge, and asked Zhang Nian to arrange a meeting with the American ambassador. (To be continued.) )
