"Where did the wrongdoer come from?"

Guo Ye was stunned and said, "Chunfu, don't the Boers need arms?" Don't need coal? Don't need gunpowder? Don't need machinery? Don't they wear clothes and go bare? Our two million pounds to them, the product is naturally going to enter their country, I am afraid that an iron nail of the Transvaal Republic will use us! Can't we earn back that little bit of interest at two million pounds? ”

Forehead......

Rong Hong was almost choked to death by Guo Ye's words! What do the Boers of the Transvaal mean without clothes and bare-chested? That's too damaging to say......

However, it makes sense to think about it, not to mention two million pounds to smash out, even one million pounds to smash out, it is enough to get all the goods from the Boers to get a pass into the Transvaal. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Besides, two million pounds, such a large sum of money, they may really not be able to afford it, they can't afford to pay it back, isn't it just with our hearts? Then we will lease their land directly, and the development rights of the entire Deland Basin will be handed over to us, and we will pay them rent every year, hehe, 200,000 pounds a year, a lot, right? We will directly lease it for fifty years and one hundred years, and the entire gold mines in the Deland Basin will be within the scope of our concession at that time, and no one will be able to take it away, even if the Boers want to take it back, they will have to wait until the lease expires......"

Guo Ye's treacherous smile made everyone feel that his majesty had completely become bad, too bad, worse than a profiteer......

The establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries was quickly decided, and within a month, the document of the appointment of Jiang Shenghua as the first minister of the Chinese Empire to the Transvaal Republic also arrived, as well as the appointment of two diplomatic counselors and diplomatic attachés.

As Minister Plenipotentiary, Jiang Shenghua officially presented his credentials to Martinas, and the two formally established diplomatic relations, for which Martinas specially held a grand banquet as a celebration.

When Jiang Shenghua announced at the reception that the original loan of 300,000 pounds would be directly converted into the Chinese Empire's aid to the Transvaal Republic, the government elites of the Transvaal Republic were completely boiling, 300,000 pounds, this is nearly one-third of the Transvaal's annual financial revenue! A huge sum of money!

The politicians took turns to toast the envoys of the Chinese Empire, pushing the whole banquet to a climax!

"Mr. President, Commander Kryuger, I have reported to our Majesty about the situation in your country, and Your Majesty has given me a clear reply, he is deeply sympathetic to the situation your country is facing, and is willing to give your full support to the merger of the Transvaal with the Orange Free State, and we will do our best to support you as long as you wish!"

A few days later, Jiang Shenghua appeared at the presidential palace of the Transvaal Republic and made his proposal to Martinas again.

Martinas was stunned, not understanding what Jiang Shenghua meant, twice and three times, and proposed to himself to agree to the two countries of the Boers!

Of course, Martinas did not doubt Jiang Shenghua's intentions, after all, if the two countries were merged and reunified, it would be too helpful to the Boers.

"Mr. Minister, first of all, on behalf of the Boers, I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your kindness to you, but it is too difficult to unify the two republics, and we are faced with all kinds of problems......

"Actually, it's not so difficult, first, the Boers are Boers after all, you are of the same species, you are all one nation, there are no differences in culture and blood, in the words of our Chinese, this is called the same track of cars, the same text, and unification is the general trend!"

Jiang Shenghua said with a smile, "Second, I was unwilling to reunify, the first is because the Boers advocate freedom, have an unrestrained personality, and don't like to be constrained, in fact, there is another reason, that is, the strength of the two republics is equal, and after the merger, how to distribute various interests, this is the problem!" But now it is completely different, Mr. Martinas, you must know that the Chinese Empire is now standing behind the Transvaal Republic, and your country will have our strong support, unreserved support, and your country will be greatly strengthened, and then once again propose to merge the two governments, I think, the officials of the Orange Free State are not as tough as before, right? ”

"This ......"

Martinas was shocked, this matter, if the Chinese Empire is really willing to help with all its might, it will definitely have a very high probability of completing the unification, but this kind of thing, with the help of external forces, is a little inappropriate.

"Martinas, I think what Mr. Minister said is very reasonable, if the Chinese Empire fully supports us, then it will not be difficult for the Boers to unify!"

Kryugel said urgently.

Martinas said helplessly: "Kryuger, don't forget, now the life of the Boers is not very good, the Transvaal Republic is a little stronger, but the Boers in the Orange Free State are richer, they are not willing to suffer because the merger of the two countries is their interests, they have put forward very harsh economic requirements, we are now financially weak, and even the daily expenses need the help of the Chinese Empire, how can we have enough financial resources to unify the two countries together?" ”

Kryuger's face froze, Martinas said it well, this is a huge problem, how to unify without money? The Transvaal Republic is too poor, at the very least, the government is too poor, there is not enough revenue, everything is delusional!

"Money?"

Jiang Shenghua pouted and asked, "Do you estimate how much it will cost if your country merges with Orange?" ”

Martinas didn't speak to Krugel, and Rodman, the treasurer on the side, smiled bitterly: "Mr. Minister, this is not a small number, it is not a problem that can be solved by the 300,000 pounds that Qilu Bank took out, and that can only be dealt with, and the financial difficulties we are facing now ......"

"How much does that cost? There's a number, right? ”

Jiang Shenghua asked.

Rodman said in a deep voice: "If you want to merge the two countries smoothly, you need at least 1.5 million pounds, which is equivalent to our financial income for a year and a half, which is not at all something we can afford, and seriously exceeds our ability, I am afraid that if we don't wait for the merger of the two countries, the Transvaal will go bankrupt directly, you know, now our Transvaal Republic government has a fiscal deficit of 200,000 pounds every year, and the debt cannot be replaced, how can we complete the reunification?" ”

"This ......"

Jiang Shenghua's face was embarrassed, and he pondered for a long time before he said: "Mr. President, Mr. Rodman, I want to try this matter, I will make an invitation to our country and the bank in this regard, and see if they can provide such a sum of money to help you ......"
