"Your Excellency, isn't this okay?"

Mountbatten said in embarrassment.

This question is very complicated, it is not a big deal to smoke the bald guy's face, after all, he has received benefits, the former stock broker is still a more practical person, so many hungry people are a threat to his rule in itself, and the hungry people can do anything, and if you operate it, it will not only be his face to become British aid to China, but it is also easy for Britain to gain the gratitude of the Chinese.

Transportation is not a problem, there are planes, there is no shortage of fuel, if it is not enough, use warships, anyway, Yang Feng will definitely not use it in vain, with this guy's boldness, there is no problem for the British government to take the opportunity to make a small fortune.

But the problem is, what will be the consequences of the influx of a large number of Chinese into Southeast Asia, this is difficult to predict, Yang Feng said that it was sent to Ambuna Island, as far as his fart is bigger, it can't accommodate a few people at all, this guy must be stuffed somewhere else, and he just controlled...

Lord Mountbatten suddenly smiled.

He's definitely going to West Borneo, that's his business!

"Your Excellency, our transportation forces are also very tight!"

He said.

"Isn't it just money, I'll pay for the freight, you make a price!"

Yang Feng said without hesitation.

"Well, I will report to London and try to get a lower price, after all, we are friends, and the people of China have just fought side by side with us, and at this time they have suffered such a disaster, and the people of Britain should also provide help as much as they can."

Lord Mountbatten said with a smile.

"Well, there's one more thing that needs the help of your government."

Yang Feng nodded and continued.

"Please."

"Loans."

"Loans?!"

Lord Mountbatten's eyes almost popped out, he was still thinking about getting money from Yang Feng, how could this be that Britain gave him money in a blink of an eye.

"Your Excellency, at the moment the whole of Europe is being rebuilt, and both our finances and the major banks are very tight."

He said as tactfully as he could.

"Listen to me! There are so many hungry people I need food to feed, the whole world is starving, the only place I can buy food is the rice country, and I am used to buying things. ”

Yang Feng said and took out a gold coin.

Then he smiled and took out another pound bill and said: "And this, too, those merchants want to, so do you want me to use this to pay the United States, or..."

He paused, swapped hands between the gold coins and the banknotes, took the bills and said, "Or do you want to change it to this?" ”

Mountbatten immediately understood what he meant, and the British government gave him a loan, and the Bank of England printed a lot of pound sterling notes for him, and he used these bills to buy grain from the grain merchants of the country, but when it came time to repay the loan, he repaid it in gold.

For the British government, it was to exchange banknotes for gold, and the banknotes were printed by the Bank of England, which was itself a pile of waste paper for the British government, but gold was what they craved the most.

For Yang Feng, there is no difference between buying grain with gold coins and buying grain with pound bills, it is the same, he has no loss.

The grain merchants of the United States do not mind collecting pound bills, they can use pound bills to buy all kinds of raw materials in Southeast Asia, they buy it with dollars or with pounds, it is the same, so they have no loss.

The Fed will suffer a little loss, because the circulation of the dollar in Southeast Asia will be somewhat blocked, and the people of Southeast Asia will suffer a little loss, because the pound banknotes they have in their hands will be at risk of depreciation.

But that's the British government's, and the Bank of England's gold reserves have increased.

"How much do you need to borrow?"

Lord Mountbatten immediately asked.

"It's hard to say, I don't know how many hungry people will be brought in, and secondly, I don't know how much they will eat, but I have to borrow 50 million pounds, right?"

Yang Feng said.

Well, that's one hundred and seventy-five tons of gold, a figure that makes Lord Mountbatten, who clearly knows that the Bank of England has only over a thousand tons of gold reserves, be careful, he really doesn't know where this guy got so much gold? Even if it is just like what he declared, the family has accumulated for hundreds of years to restore the country, it will not be such a loser!

"What about guarantees?" He said immediately.

"There is no guarantee, I am the guarantee, our friendship is the guarantee, and there is another point, this loan cannot be interested, in addition, I will give you as much gold as I spend in the end of this loan, and if I can't spend it in the end, I have to return it to you, of course, if it is not enough, maybe I will borrow some more."

"Your Excellency, this..."

"Your Excellency, the British government took sterling bills to buy one hundred and fifty tons of gold in the United States, do you think it can be bought? You've already received interest on this deal, and I wouldn't have made this deal with you if I hadn't been able to raise enough gold in a year. ”

Yang Feng said lightly.

Well, Lord Mountbatten shut up, it's the uncle who has gold this year.

"Please make a decision as soon as possible, those hungry people won't have to wait long."

After Yang Feng finished speaking very sincerely, he said goodbye and left, and after returning to the Raffles Hotel, he immediately asked Huang Yechun, who was accompanying him, to invite the merchants of the rice country who had been responsible for supplying grain to Ambuna Island, and the current grain of the Ming Empire was all dependent on external supply. Anyway, Yang Feng's gold is easy to come by, a gold coin can be exchanged for a lot, why do you have to work hard to grow it yourself, the farmland on the island is just a kind of agricultural demonstration garden nature, showing his agricultural technology to the outside world, he doesn't worry about any food security and the like, and if you can't buy it outside, it's a big deal to get it directly from there.

"Thomas, I need food, a lot of food."

Yang Feng said straight to the point.

"Your Excellency, I can get you as much as you want."

Thomas said with a smile, relying on the supply of food to the Ming Empire, he has had a very happy life for most of the past half a year, and now of course big business is welcome.

"Can you feed 10 million people?"

Thomas immediately gasped and said in disbelief: "Your Excellency, what do you want to do?" ”

"Disaster relief, I believe you also know the famine in China, those hungry people are my compatriots, even if they are not willing to accept my rule, but they are still my brothers and sisters, I can't watch tens of millions of people starve to death there, so I am ready to provide relief for them. According to the calculation of one kilogram of flour per person per day, 10 million people are 10,000 tons, and it will take almost five months in the autumn, that is, 1.5 million tons, plus the hungry people in other places also need relief, I need at least two million tons during this time, counting the future needs of the Ming Empire, you have to supply me at least three million tons of flour, cornmeal can also be. ”

"Your Excellency, disaster relief does not need so much, those hungry people can survive with two steamed buns a day, and after a large influx of your disaster relief food, there will be a series of chain effects, it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of tons are enough."

Thomas reminded him in a difficult tone.

Of course, he is not kind, but he can't get so much food at all, last year, the grain output of the rice country was more than 100 million tons, the vast majority of which was consumed in the country, after all, the rice country also has a population of nearly 150 million, plus the squandering of the soldiers of the rice countries around the world, the support to the allies, even if there is a little left, there is not much, three million tons, how much aid was given to the Soviet Union during the entire war? Isn't there only a million tons of wheat alone?

This guy opens his mouth for three million tons, this is the rhythm of sweeping away the grain in the market!

Well, he guessed right.

Yang Feng just wants to sweep away all the grain in the market, this guy is holding back a poisonous plan, he wants to artificially expand this worldwide famine, this thing is the best weapon that has been tested by countless practices, no weapon can be compared with the famine, even the killing effect of the atomic bomb may not be able to catch up with the famine, far from the British people in those years have the beloved Comrade Stalin, how many predecessors are the crystallization of wisdom.

The world is short of food, and some people must starve to death, and it was originally more than 10 million Chinese who were unlucky in history, but now he wants to pass on this great task of balancing the contradiction between world food supply and demand to others. Throwing money all over the world to buy grain, pumping out the grain on the market as much as possible, even if the excess is thrown into the sea, it will be purchased, and these grains will be used to relieve those hungry Chinese, and as bait will continue to pull Chinese to Southeast Asia, even if it will bring in 17.5 million people who were originally starving to death.

When the food supply in the market was tight to a certain extent, MacArthur's empty salary problem was hyped up through public opinion, so that the most unfortunate one of the disasters was passed on to the Japanese people.

For the sake of the stability of the country, the government and Congress of the United States can acquiesce to MacArthur to do this, but the people of the United States will not care whether the country is starving to death at this time, especially when their European allies are also running out of food, it goes without saying which side they want to save first, which is why the Congress of the United States does not dare to agree to provide food aid to the country, once the matter is big, the government of the United States can only sacrifice the country to appease the dissatisfaction of the domestic and European allies.

After all, at this time, if the government of the United States wants to sacrifice anyone, the Wa Kingdom is the highest priority.

Yang Feng is looking forward to the next few months, when the streets of Waguo will be as hungry as the newspapers in his hand.

And hunger will give rise to more unknown changes, and whatever changes there have not existed in history will be welcomed by the Führer.

For example, will the people of the Japanese kingdom be driven by hunger to rebel against the occupying forces in their land?

Hungry people are usually very aggressive.

So when there is turmoil in the Japanese country, will Comrade Stalin seize this opportunity to break out of the encirclement?

It's worth looking forward to!
