Rodman came to Qilu Bank again.

"Mr. Rodman, we meet again."

After the two of them sat down, Kong Youlin smiled.

"Mr. Kong, I wonder if the loan contract has been drawn up?"

Rodman asked impatiently.

Kong Youlin nodded and replied: "It has been drawn up, this is the document I drafted, the document in Chinese and English, you can take a look at it......"

Saying this, Kong Youlin handed over the document.

Rodman hurriedly took it, and it was really not bad, it was all according to Kong Youlin's promise!

"Thank you, thank you so much, Mr. Kong, you have earned the friendship of our Transvaal Republic, you have earned the respect of our Boers!"

Rodman said eagerly, "Mr. Kong, I have already reported to our president the proposal for the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and our president is very willing to establish diplomatic relations with your country, send envoys to each other, and enhance the friendship and exchanges between your two countries!" ”

Kong Youlin smiled: "Okay, great, Dong Qin, go and invite our Mr. Supervisor over!" ”

It didn't take long for Jiang Shenghua to walk in.

"Mr. Rodman, this is the one I mentioned to you, Mr. Jiang Shenghua, the supervisor of our Qilu Bank, this is the original chief of guard of our Emperor Majesty, and he has a close relationship with His Majesty the Emperor! Mr. Jiang, this is Mr. Rodman, the Minister of Finance of the Transvaal Republic. ”

Kong Youlin introduced.

Rodman didn't dare to slack off, although Jiang Shenghua's identity was not so prominent, but it was very important, the chief of the guard of the emperor of the Chinese Empire, this is the most trusted person around the emperor!

"Mr. Jiang, welcome to the Transvaal, and I would like to extend a welcome to you on behalf of our Mr. President! Please also convey our greetings to Your Majesty! ”

Jiang Shenghua smiled: "Thank you!" Mr. Rodman, I would like to ask for your kind attention in the future......"

"Mr. Jiang, our Transvaal Republic intends to establish diplomatic relations with your country and send envoys to each other, but we have never had any contact with your country, I heard Mr. Kong say, you were originally a person from the side of His Majesty the Emperor of your country, we would like to ask you to mediate for us, if the two countries can establish close diplomatic relations, we are very grateful!"

Jiang Shenghua nodded and replied: "This matter is not difficult, although I have left His Majesty the Emperor now, I can contact our Majesty at any time, and our Prime Minister Mr. Guo Bochen is also familiar with me and has established diplomatic relations, I think it is a matter of course!" ”

Rodman was overjoyed, since Jiang Shenghua said so, there was naturally no problem.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Kong, on behalf of our president, Mr. Martinas, I would like to extend an invitation to the two of you, and invite you to attend the contract signing ceremony of the Presidential Palace and the celebratory dinner that follows!"

Kong Youlin and Jiang Shenghua immediately agreed to meet Martinas, this Martinas is not an ordinary person, he is the eldest son of Andreas Pretorius, the legendary leader of the Boers, and inherited all the prestige left by his father!

In the evening of the same day, Kong Youlin signed a loan agreement with Rodman at the Presidential Palace on behalf of Qilu Bank, and then attended a grand dinner!

"Mr. Kong, Mr. Jiang, you have won the respect of all our Boer compatriots! On behalf of all the Boers, I thank you! ”

Martinas said to the two men with his glass.

Jiang Shenghua took a sip of the wine glass, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Martinas, I have a question that I don't know if I should ask you?" ”

Martinas was stunned and said, "What's the problem? Mr. Jiang has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it! ”

Jiang Shenghua said in a deep voice: "Mr. President, I know that you are the president of two republics, and at the same time, your father is also a legendary leader among the entire Boer people, and his reputation and prestige are even higher than the prestige of His Majesty the Emperor of our Chinese Empire in the empire, but why should your country and the Orange Free State be divided into each other?" Could it be that a strong, united Boer state would be more beneficial to the Boers? You can unite and resist the aggression and oppression of the strong! ”

Martinas's face darkened when he heard this, and he said astringently: "Mr. Jiang, it's not as simple as you imagined, the Boers have always admired freedom, and neither Orange nor the Transvaal want the two republics to merge together, even if I make great efforts, I can't mend the rift in ......them."

"Mr. President, there is no country where the people do not advocate freedom, but the interests of the nation are above all else, and the interests of a free nation are guaranteed, and the interests of the individual can be more secured! Isn't this the case in our Chinese Empire? It turned out that under the rule of the Qing Empire, the Chinese were like scattered sand, in the face of the invasion of a strong enemy, they were powerless to resist, it was our Emperor His Majesty, with his genius, turned the tide and united the nation and the people again, now the Chinese Empire is already an existence that the Western powers dare not easily provoke, only the people are united, only the unity of the country, can burst out the most powerful force to protect their compatriots! ”

Jiang Shenghua replied in a deep voice.

Martinas frowned and replied, "Mr. Jiang, I understand what you said, but Orange and the Transvaal are not willing to merge, so what can I do?" ”

Jiang Shenghua smiled faintly and replied: "War, sometimes, the leader of the nation must take out an iron-blooded wrist to complete the unification of the city, just think of our majesty, just think of the king of Prussia and the iron-blooded prime minister Mr. Bismarck, they all use their own iron-blooded wrists to complete the unification of the nation, sometimes, for the interests of the nation, the temporary sword soldiers and bloodshed are worth it!" ”

Martinas was shocked, he didn't expect Jiang Shenghua to give such a suggestion to himself!

Kryuger on the side was dissatisfied: "Mr. Jiang, this question is not as simple as you imagined, and it will not benefit anyone to let the Boers fall into a war, it will only cheapen our enemies!" Is the blood and sacrifice of the Boers what you would like to see? ”

Jiang Shenghua smiled slightly and replied: "I'm sorry, General Kryuger, please forgive me for being abrupt, it would be best to complete the unification of the two republics without going through sword soldiers, but aren't you facing a dilemma now?" You know, your country's enemy, the English, is an extremely powerful opponent, even our Chinese Empire can't stand up to it, the title of the empire on which the sun never sets is by no means in vain, with such a neighbor as an opponent, if your country still can't concentrate all its forces, then I'm afraid that it won't be long before your country will fall into the enslavement of the British, is this what you want to see? Striving for peace is for the happiness of the Boers now, and for reunification is for the well-being of future generations of the Boers for decades or even centuries to come......"
