Interest-free loans, which sound very good, are actually harboring evil intentions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The interest-free loan provided by Lanfang must be conditional on the coalition government relinquishing its sovereignty over Lake Baikal and at the same time purchasing relevant supplies from Lanfang, so that the loan of one billion Lanfang coins can be realized.

Of course, this condition is very harsh, not to mention the issue of sovereignty, let's just say that there are many twists and turns to make a fuss about this purchase of materials.

Lan Fang is currently changing clothes, from rifles to airplanes, almost all of them are gradually changing, so where are the weapons that have been replaced?

Qin Zhiyuan is ready to let the coalition government be this "pick-up man".

Kolchak really doesn't want it, even if Kolchak's coalition government doesn't want it, Qin Zhiyuan has a place to deal with these surplus materials, whether it is the Republic of China or North Africa, or Australia, they all urgently need military supplies, as long as they are used, it doesn't matter how good the condition is, basically how much there is.

This is a standard seller's market, so Qin Zhiyuan is not worried at all.

Of course, Kolchak was not willing to let Qin Zhiyuan slaughter him, so when the negotiations restarted, Kolchak proposed that the one billion interest-free loan must be turned into free aid, and then Kolchak's coalition government would accept Lanfang's conditions.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

This is the current state of Kolchak.

Although the "Armistice Agreement" has been signed, the war may be rekindled at any time, and Kolchak must make a choice, whether to safeguard Russia's interests or to ensure the existence of a coalition government.

Strictly speaking, this is not a multiple-choice question at all.

Only with a coalition government can there be Russia's interests, and without a coalition government, who will guarantee Russia's interests?

It seemed that accepting Lan Fang's conditions was Kolchak's only option.

Of course, there are variables, and the only variable lies with the British.

At the beginning of the negotiations, Kolchak invited the British to attend the negotiations.

Not to be outdone, Qin Zhiyuan also invited the French to attend the negotiations, so during the entire negotiation period, the British representative Andrew Kennedy and the French representative Aiden Wild became puppeteers, and they hardly put forward any constructive suggestions, and could only dwell on some trivial issues.

The French must be on the united front with Qin Zhiyuan, and the British have the intention to target Lan Fang, but they are unable to do so.

Just a few days ago, the British and their servant army had been driven out of Sarawak and retreated to the Malay Peninsula, which also marked the complete failure of the British attempt to return to Sarawak, and the last bit of British dominance in Lanfang Wanghai was shattered.

Of course, the British still think that it is Kalimantan, not Wanghai.

But so what?

Whether it was Kalimantan or Wanghai, the British had no control over the land that originally belonged to Malaya, and had to allow the Sarawak government to be formed.

If you look at it globally, the strength of the British is indeed very strong, but in Southeast Asia, whether they admit it or not, the British have lost their advantage.

The British still had a large fleet, but at the same time they had a huge colony to maintain, and it was impossible for the British to use all their strength in Sarawak, which was not in the overall interest of the British.

Of course, although the British are powerless in Sarawak, they still have to go down, and they still have to block Lan Fang, and at this point, Andrew has done a good job.

"If the coalition government has no objection, Lan Fang has no problem wanting to own the whole of Lake Baikal, but the aid of one billion Lan Fang yuan is beyond the scope of the "Armistice Agreement", and it also violates our agreement not to interfere in Russia's internal affairs, so this proposal cannot become a reality." In the third negotiation, Andrew finally made the British opinion clear.

After the Foreign Legion withdrew from Russia, Britain, France, the United States, and Lanfang had an agreement, similar to the "Arms Embargo Agreement" for the Republic of China, in which all parties agreed not to provide arms assistance to any side of Russia, so as to end the chaos in Russia as soon as possible.

There is no official text of this "Agreement", it is only a verbal agreement, and the binding force on all parties is extremely limited.

Of course, if Kolchak also agreed to import some military supplies from the British, then everyone would be happy.

After the World War, Britain also had a large number of troops recovered, and there was now a large amount of surplus weapons and ammunition waiting to be bought in Britain, and it would be nice if some of them could be thrown to Kolchak now.

Even if the British did not sell Kolchak those accumulated military supplies and re-produced them for Kolchak, the British were cost-effective, and now that the world war has just ended, the military industrial sectors of various countries are in a state of overcapacity, and there are orders that are already thankful, and it is a luxury to have more requirements.

Kolchak understood what Andrew meant, but did not give an answer right away.

Kolchak was weighing the pros and cons, and he wanted Lanfang's and the British, so if the French made similar demands, would the coalition government buy it or not?

It's impossible not to buy it, but if it does, what will the coalition government pay back?

If the mineral resources controlled by the coalition government are repaid, it is definitely worth considering how much control the coalition government can have over the areas under its control.

"Kenny, there's nothing wrong with that, if both Lanfang and the coalition government are willing to settle this dispute with a billion Lanfang dollars, then it's not bad, at least the peace between the coalition government and Lanfang's northern region can be maintained." The French representative, Aiden Wild, wanted to broker the deal, and only if the deal became a fait accompli would the French have something to do.

"Speaking of Northern Territory, Your Majesty the Honorable King, I wonder when Lan Fang will return the 2.6 million square kilometers of Siberian land to the Republic of China?" Andrew suddenly provoked the legal premise for the existence of the Northern Territory.

Lan Fang sent troops to Vladivostok under the banner of seeking justice for the Republic of China, so that she could win the approval of the British and French.

But this kind of thing is that Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou and never returned.

"When you return India to the Mughals, we will return the Northern Frontier to the Republic of China." Qin Zhiyuan was not polite, and directly blocked it back with a word.

The Mughals, which existed before India fell into colonial rule, and now the last emperor, Bahadur Shah II, estimated that the bones were about to turn into slag, and it is estimated that even the descendants of the Mughal dynasty no longer existed, and even if the British wanted to return India to the Mughals, they could not find anyone to return.

Of course, the British didn't want to give India back to the Mughals, so Andrew was very adamant: "What are you kidding? The Mughal dynasty has been down for more than 150 years and is no longer there! ”

Then this is easy to say, Qin Zhiyuan's attitude is also extremely resolute: "Hmm, I also want to return the Northern Territory to the Qing Empire, but the Qing Empire no longer exists!" ”

"Although the Qing Empire is gone, they still have the inheritance of the People's State, and it is the same for the Republic of China." Andrew doesn't feel like this is a double standard, and it's really justified.

"Although the Mughal Empire no longer exists, there are still princes in India, and it is the same to return India to them." Qin Zhiyuan didn't talk nonsense, grabbed a handle and didn't let go.

Speaking carefully, even if Lan Fang gave up the Northern Frontier Region, there would not be much of a problem, after all, Japan is no longer a hidden danger now, and the strategic position of the Northern Frontier Region is constantly declining, that is, because of the huge territorial area, Qin Zhiyuan is reluctant to give up.

Relatively speaking, it was absolutely impossible for the British to abandon India.

India's value to Britain cannot be overemphasized, and there is a saying in Britain that India is the brightest jewel in the king's crown. In fact, this is not enough to describe the importance of India to the United Kingdom, strictly speaking, India should be the pedestal of the crown.

In the world war, although the Indians did not make much meritorious service, the more than one million Indian soldiers sent still gave the British enough confidence, if there were not so many Indians engaged in auxiliary work, the British would never have ended the world war so easily as now.

"The issue of India is not the subject of our negotiations, so there is no room for discussion on this issue." Andrew didn't want Qin Zhiyuan to talk about India.

"Then the issue of the Northern Territory is not on the agenda of today, and it is equally inappropriate to discuss it here." Qin Zhiyuan will not follow Andrew's train of thought.

"Let's go back to Lake Baikal—" Kolchak's expression was bitter, but he also had to accept the reality: "We can accept Lan Fang's conditions, and Lake Baikal - can henceforth be called the 'North Sea', but one thing to be sure is that if our fishermen want to engage in fishing or other activities in the North Sea, Lan Fang cannot interfere. ”

Kolchak was trying to gain some power for the Russians.

What else?

Although this is Omsk, among all the people who participated in the meeting, I am afraid that what Kolchak said was the most weightless, although he did not want to admit it, Kolchak still had to face reality.

"Yes, but at the same time, if you want to build any water facilities on the rivers that flow into the North Sea, you also need to get the permission of the Lanfang government." Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to be entangled in the details, and tried his best to clear the hidden dangers for the future.

"Well, as you wish-" Kolchak's expression was really bitter, and at this moment, Kolchak really realized what it means to be "a weak country without diplomacy."
