The cooperation between Lan Fang and the coalition government is premised on the coalition government's renunciation of sovereignty in the North Sea. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was precisely because of the coalition government's commitment to give up sovereignty in the North Sea that there was a loan and material support provided by Lan Fang, and if it weren't for this, Qin Zhiyuan would not have been interested in wading into this muddy water.

Counting the pre-war loans, as well as the additional parts during the war, the coalition government now owes Lanfang 1.6 billion yuan, and if it is to be repaid by resources, it is estimated that it should be enough to cut down all the forests in the territory of the coalition government.

So when the coalition government offered a loan again, Qin Zhiyuan hesitated: "What will happen if we don't lend to them?" ”

"If you don't lend it, it will push Kolchak into the arms of the British, who are now supporting Denikin, and if Kolchak is added, the situation is very unfavorable for Northern Krai. Kolchak's hands are indeed tight, and the defeat of Red Russia did not bring much benefit to Kolchak, but because of the civilians in Red Russia, the burden of the coalition government is even heavier. Lu Zhengxiang is well aware of the predicament of the coalition government, and is more inclined to give the coalition government appropriate help.

"Then give it to them, at least there is a coalition government between Northern Territory and White Russia, and the British forces cannot penetrate Northern Territory for the time being." Qin Zhiyuan immediately made the most beneficial choice for Lan Fang.

The loan to Kolchak was not directly given money, but that Kolchak was allowed to use the money to purchase materials, such as food and textiles, in Lanfang. And because of the choice of specific materials, the price is often much more expensive than the normal price, which can be regarded as another layer for the Lanfang government.

When it comes time to repay, because the coalition government can only come up with primary raw materials such as mineral resources and trees, the price will be lowered a lot, in short, this back and forth, the loan of 400 million yuan will play a role of at least 500 million, if you do not consider the repayment ability of the coalition government, this is a good thing for Lanfang, after all, Lanfang's grain production is getting higher and higher, and there is still a lot of surplus, and taking out a part of the support for the coalition government can also reduce storage costs.

"Lao Chen applied for the establishment of a navy in the Beihai, and the report hit Antonio, which made Antonio suppress, and Lao Chen handed me the report again, which seemed to be a little dissatisfied." Qin Zhisheng and Chen Kangjian are old friends, and their relationship is much closer than that of Lu Zhengxiang and Chen Kangjian, so they are more casual in their titles.

Although Beihai is an inland lake, the area is quite large, with a width of 27 to 80 kilometers and a length of 636 kilometers.

"What do you mean?" Qin Zhiyuan first solicited opinions.

"There's no need, the North Sea doesn't look small, in fact, it's the most economical to use aircraft to cruise, as for the navy or anything, it's not necessary at all, a few patrol boats are enough to deter those Russians. Besides, our funds are not rich, and the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet and Vladivostok Fleet above the Navy are originally too many monks and too little porridge, and now there are Marines to intervene in the sideways, Antonio already feels stretched thin, and will definitely not agree to Chen Kangjian's application. Qin Zhisheng did not agree to the establishment of a new navy, mainly because of financial problems.

"The Navy already has a lot of funds, and your Air Force and Army are also gold-swallowing monsters, you complain about the lack of funds, look at how much the government has funding?" Lu Zhengxiang was also dissatisfied, and seized the opportunity to start crying poor.

"Don't talk to me about this, our high budget has nothing to do with your government, it is all directly transferred from Your Majesty's account, and it has nothing to do with your government how much Your Majesty is willing to give us." Qin Zhisheng immediately began to taunt Lu Zhengxiang.

At the beginning of the founding of Lanfang, the government had no money to spare, so the military expenditure has always been the personal responsibility of Qin Zhiyuan, which is also a tradition of Lanfang, after all, from the first day of the establishment of the Foreign Legion, it was Qin Zhiyuan who was raising military expenses, which also objectively guaranteed the absolute loyalty of the Lanfang army to Qin Zhiyuan.

Although Qin Zhiyuan himself is rich, but as the size of the army grows larger and larger, this pressure is still not small, and the Lanfang government is not willing to bear all the military expenses by Qin Zhiyuan privately, which causes Lu Zhengxiang to speak in front of Qin Zhisheng and these soldiers are not enough, so the Lanfang government has borne part of the proportion of military spending since last year.

Of course, limited to the current financial situation of the Lanfang government, this proportion is still quite small, and it is limited to be stronger than none at all.

This is enough, with this premise, Lu Zhengxiang can confidently argue with Qin Zhisheng: "Nonsense, since last year, the government has begun to bear part of the military spending, and this proportion will be more and more." ”

Well, it's really more and more, but the growth rate is really limited, and by next year, the proportion of military spending borne by the Lanfang government will be about five percent.

"Don't put gold on your faces, and when you bear more than half of the burden, you will say such things." Qin Zhisheng knew that the proportion of the Lanfang government's capital contribution, at this growth rate, it was expected that in 20 years, the proportion of military spending borne by the Lanfang government would reach more than half.

"Okay, okay, one of you defense ministers and one prime minister made our imperial meeting like a vegetable market, is it interesting?" Qin Zhiyuan really had a headache, and he couldn't offend any of the two people in front of him.

"Uh, Your Majesty, I beg your pardon for being rude." Lu Zhengxiang immediately apologized in a fake way, and looked at Qin Zhisheng's eyes full of fake friendliness.

Qin Zhisheng didn't bother to pretend at all, snorted twice as an apology, and then sat down and began to think about his little Jiujiu.

"Speaking of loans, you can take out a loan, the conditions are the same as before, and ask Eugenage when their wood can be cut, and if there is difficulty, we will send someone to cut it." Qin Zhiyuan is very dissatisfied with the efficiency of the coalition government, the same thing, in Lanfang, it will only take you for at least half a year.

Speaking of trees, in fact, the northern Xinjiang region is also rich in forest resources, but Qin Zhiyuan's opinion is that the forests in the northern region should be preserved as a protected area, so the timber needed for Lanfang's development will be imported from the joint government. Timber is really not worth much in this year, except for Qin Zhiyuan, no one has the awareness of protecting the environment, so the coalition government does not set any restrictions on the export of timber, which is convenient for Lanfang to operate.

"It is estimated that Eugenage will not agree, including the Russians, the British and Americans all see us as overwhelming, and they don't treat our people very well, and even the Republic of China now has remarks that are unfavorable to us." What Lu Zhengxiang said in his mouth was not to be seen, but his expression was very proud.

It's also a skill to be able to make people unwelcome, and it is precisely because of the strength that people are afraid that there will be such an unwelcome appearance, otherwise you look at the Italians, they are very popular everywhere they go.

"What's going on in the Republic of China?" Qin Zhiyuan is still very concerned about the Republic of China.

Not to mention the alliance between Lan Fang and the Republic of China, just talking about Qin Zhiyuan's Chinese background, it will not make Qin Zhiyuan ignore everything that happened in the Republic of China.

In fact, in the current Republic of China, Lan Fang's reputation is still very good.

Since Lanfang's grain reached self-sufficiency, Lanfang began to export grain to the Republic of China, the price is basically cheap, and it is also directly supplied to Lanfang's consulates in major cities in the Republic of China.

Just this one thing, it is already a Buddha in ten thousand families, and it has won the praise of the people of the Republic of China, which completely covers up the fact that Lan Fang is supporting the Beiyang government to launch a united war. So now that he heard that there were unfavorable remarks against Lan Fang in the Republic of China, Qin Zhiyuan was still puzzled.

"It's still KMT's gang, now in KMT's control area, our northern Xinjiang region has become an example of Lanfang's invasion of the Republic of China, KMT requires us to return the northern Xinjiang region to the Republic of China, and at the same time, there are also Goryeo, Yingzhou, Nanhai and other regions, KMT claims that they have sovereignty over the above areas, and we are all illegally occupied." The mockery on Lu Zhengxiang's face was hard to hide.

"Those people are grasshoppers after the autumn and can't stumble for a few days, don't worry about them, sovereign, even if we return those areas to them, can they hold it?" Qin Zhisheng was disdainful in his words, and his eyes were a little cold.

"Didn't Zhang Yuting propose to buy weapons a few days ago? Sell it to him, half price, as much as you want. Qin Zhiyuan was also ruthless, wanting to sweep KMT into the pile of old papers as soon as possible.

The current Beiyang government is basically dominated by Zhang Yuting's troops. Zhang Yuting knows Lan Fang's strength very well, so he is very close to Lan Fang, and the relationship is quite close, the army in Zhang Yuting's hands is basically trained by Lan Fang's instructors, and most of the weapons are supported by Lan Fang.

The current situation of the Republic of China is very unfavorable to KMT, the troops of the Beiyang government have already crossed the Yangtze River, and if there is no miracle, it is estimated that KMT will not last long.

Perhaps it was precisely because the end was approaching that KMT fought desperately to slander Lan Fang and the Beiyang government in exchange for popular support.

However, this is doomed to be in vain, KMT does not have the ability to wage a people's war, and even if it wins the support of the people, KMT will not win.

What Zhang Yuting wanted to buy was tanks and artillery, and with the support of Lan Fang, Zhang Yuting had established a basic military industry outside the Guan, including machine guns, which could be produced in Zhang Yuting's factory, which not only did not make Zhang Yuting win a more independent status, but made Zhang Yuting more dependent on Lan Fang.

The industrial field is different from other fields, and the dependence on technology is stronger, Lan Fang has established a complete military industry because of the recruitment of enough engineers from France and Germany, but the Republic of China is different, Zhang Yuting's arsenal has basically all the engineers hired from Lan Fang, and it is impossible for Zhang Yuting to get rid of Lan Fang's influence before Zhang Yuting cultivates his own team of technicians.

Even if he cultivates his own team of technicians, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Zhang Yuting to get rid of Lan Fang's influence, the technology is endless, and if he can produce machine guns, he wants to produce tanks, and it is estimated that when the tank production line is launched, the aircraft production line will be put on the agenda.

When Zhang Yuting can build his own plane, God knows what strange things Lan Fang will come up with. (To be continued.) )
