Although he said that, Huang Sheng didn't want much about the land in northern Canada, and if it weren't for Huo Shan's insistence, he wouldn't want this wild land. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because in Huang Sheng's view, if the development is in the future, the input and output here are not proportional at all.

If you have that money, it is better to invest in the development of the South Seas and the American Territory, and I believe that the same investment in the American Territory and northern Canada will definitely be more beneficial to the development of the Huo Jiajun than the former.

Of course, the reason why Huang Sheng has this idea is also limited by the limitations of the times, only Huo Shan, a person from later generations, will know what kind of rich resources are buried under this seemingly wild land in northern Canada.

After listening to Huang Sheng's words, Gwena pondered slightly, then raised his head and said, "It is absolutely impossible to be north of the 66th parallel of north latitude, but we are willing to sell all the islands north of the 66th parallel of Canada to you, including Baffin Island!"

"Minister Gwyner, are you kidding us?" said this, Huang Sheng's words were already filled with anger, "Who else can survive in the Arctic Circle except for the Eskimos, and who else will go back there on Baffin Island and Queen Elizabeth Islands except for the occasional visit by expeditions." And the islands don't belong to Canada!"

"If I buy them with airship technology and flame bomb production technology, and 20 million pounds, I will become the biggest laughing stock in the world!"

Looking at the angry look on Huang Sheng's face, Gwener's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment. The conditions just now are indeed a bit excessive. As long as it's a person in a normal mind. I wouldn't spend so much money on this place that looks big but has little value.

In modern times, within the Arctic Circle. Just like the Antarctic continent, it is a forbidden area for humans.

At the beginning, US Secretary of State William Henry Seward bought Alaska, which was several times stronger than the land within the Arctic Circle that Gwener just mentioned, for $7.2 million, and was ridiculed by Americans and countries around the world for decades. Even now, he hasn't taken off the hat of 'Seward's Fridge'.

It is conceivable that if Huang Sheng and Huo Jiajun really bought 20 million pounds north of the Arctic Circle that Gwener said just now, what would they have to be ridiculed for.

"Mr. Prime Minister. Since we can't get along, we might as well take a step back, and the north of the 65th parallel can be sold to you!"

The British cabinet and military, already preoccupied by the Egyptian war, have given Gwina a death order. In any case, it is necessary to get the Chinese airships and flame bombs. So Gwener was reluctant to let the talks fall apart.

"No, I can't. Sixty-five degrees north latitude is no different from before, sixty-one degrees north latitude, sell it to us north of sixty-one degrees north latitude!"

"No ......!"

After an hour of tug-of-war, a compromise was finally reached, and a document of the Sino-British-Canadian Agreement was concocted.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Chinese People's Army bought from the British all the land and islands north of the 65th parallel north of Canada at the cost of airship manufacturing technology and fire bomb production technology, as well as 20 million pounds. Plus the entire Yukon! has a land area of 2.4 million ordinary kilometers.

Looking at this agreement, Gwiner couldn't help but smile. Although the land area seems to be a lot, it does not contribute a pound to the British tax.

And the Arctic islands like Baffin Island and the Elizabeth Islands are not strictly British colonies, and they do not belong to any one country.

It was worth it to trade a 2.4 million square kilometre area, but with a population of 50,000, and covered in ice and snow for most of the year, for two much-needed military technologies for Britain and a huge sum of 20 million pounds.

"Hey!" Huang Sheng looked at the signed conditions, and sighed secretly in his heart, he really couldn't understand why Huo Shan had to buy these places, these places had no value at all, and no matter how much land there was, it was useless.

And Gviner, who saw the expression on his face, was a little happier in his heart.

"Minister Gweiner, because of the economic crisis and the war with the Americans, we can't pay you 20 million pounds now!" Looking at Gweiner's gloomy face, Huang Sheng hurriedly said what Huo Shan had explained to himself.

"We are willing to repay 20 million with weapons and equipment!"

Hearing this, the look on Gviner's face improved slightly.

"We are willing to pay for 200 airships, 5,000 rounds of fire charges, 500,000 new rifles, 500 machine guns and 300 artillery pieces, and enough ammunition!"

After hearing this, Gviner's face showed a look of thought, he knew that because of the lack of preparation in the early stage, coupled with the defeat of several wars, the domestic weapons and ammunition that were now taking advantage of India's abundant manpower to expand the army on a large scale were not sufficient.

Moreover, in order to be able to enter the battlefield as soon as possible, purchasing ready-made airships and flame bombs from the Chinese People's Army was originally one of the purposes of his visit.

"Mr. Prime Minister, 200 airships, 5,000 rounds of flame bombs, I can promise now, you can use them to repay the 20 million, but whether the remaining weapons are also possible, I need to ask the country for instructions!"

"Yes, I'm looking forward to good news from Minister Gwiner!"

Hearing this, Gwener stood up and said goodbye, this time the purpose of his visit had been achieved, and he had to send a telegram to the cabinet, so after politely declining Huang Sheng's invitation to have lunch together, he left in a hurry.

"Alas!" Looking at Gviner's back, after sighing deeply, Huang Sheng returned to his desk and did it, looking at the treaty he had just signed in his hand, after a little silence, he picked up the phone on the table, dialed a number, and said, "Come here!"

"Prime Minister, you call me!" Huang Zhongliang, who had just replaced Tang Shaoyi as the secretary general of the Secretariat of the Prime Minister's Office, pushed the door and walked in.

As one of the first batch of law graduates from National Taiwan University, it has been almost four years since I entered the government internship. Although he is young, he has rich experience in politics and is very talented himself, so he was promoted after Tang Shaoyi was promoted.

"Hmm!" After agreeing, Huang Sheng handed over the telegram in his hand, "Zhongliang, send this telegram to the telegram room, Samsung encrypt it, and send it to Yap Island!"

"Yes, Prime Minister, I'll do it!" Huang Zhongliang took the telegram and walked outside, but he paused just as he was about to go out.

After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth, turned his head to Huang Sheng, who was looking down and didn't know what to think, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, my mother asked me to invite you to dinner at home in the evening, ...... Do you have time for the evening?"

"Huh?" Huang Sheng was stunned when he heard this.

Then he smiled and nodded, "I know, if there is no too urgent matter tonight, I will pass!"

"I know, then I'll call my mother first!" After saying with a happy face, Huang Zhongliang immediately closed the door and ran out.

Listening to the footsteps in the distance, Huang Sheng shook his head with a hint of helplessness on his face.

Huang Sheng has a total of three younger brothers, two younger sisters, Huang Zhongliang is the second son of his youngest brother Huang Yi, and one of the most outstanding children of the third generation of the Huang family. I didn't rely on my own relationship in the middle. Relying on his own ability to achieve his current position, it also made Huang Sheng like it a little.

However, for the snobbish third brother and sister, Huang Sheng didn't like it very much.

"Forget it, I don't want these mortal chores anymore!"

The formation of government in the provinces of the North American Territory, the reform of the government structure, the formation of the People's Party, and the formation of a new state are all important matters that cannot be delayed.

Recently, Huang Sheng has been so busy that he rarely returns home. If it weren't for the fact that his youngest brother Huang Yi hadn't seen him since he came to Ma Chen three months ago, Huang Sheng would never have wasted his precious time at night doing anything to socialize.

Yingzhou Province, Yap Island

Just when Huo Shan was walking in the yard with the pregnant Helen, Huo Feng hurriedly ran in from outside with a telegram in his hand.

Since Huo Shan stayed on Yap Island because of Helen's pregnancy, Huo Feng also moved his own naval headquarters. Anyway, there is a radio on the island, and he commands the same everywhere.

And after Huo Shan saw that the Huo Jiajun Navy was out of training now, and there were no combat missions, it was up to him.

"Young Master, the telegram I just received from Ma Chen ......!" After seeing the situation in the courtyard clearly, Huo Feng suddenly closed his mouth.

"I'll look for you later!" After seeing Helen nodding, Huo Shan ordered: "Mother Wu, send the young grandmother back to the room!"

"Yes, young master!"

After seeing the two of them enter the main house, Huo Shan turned around and beckoned to Huo Feng, "You come in with me!"

Walking into the study, Huo Feng immediately handed over the telegram he had just received from his briefcase to Huo Shan, "Young master, the British have compromised!"

"Really, I'll take a look!" After taking it and reading the ten lines at a glance, Huo Shan's face showed a hint of satisfaction.

"It's a pity that they only got the Yukon and north of the sixty-fifth parallel, the British are too greedy!"

Listening to Huo Feng's complaints, Huo Shan put the finished telegram on the table, "Okay, the British are not stupid, can he sell us a good place?"

"It's beyond my expectations to have such a big harvest this time. (To be continued.) )u
