Everyone was in an uproar, including Zhu Erdian, the franc is no longer the most important currency in the world, but it is still not a cheap currency, compared with more than ten years ago, it has fallen a little, but the magnitude is not large, a dollar is about a little more than 3 francs, 2 million francs of military support, that is, more than a million silver dollars, 100,000 pounds, this is nothing, but 70 million francs of interest-free loans, but a weight that people cannot refuse.

Peig put a heavy weight on the scales, and the interest-free loan of 70 million francs was at least 20 million US dollars and 40 million silver dollars, although this money was a loan, it could be used directly.

Pei Ge looked at the state of the people around him with great satisfaction, to be honest, before Zhu Erdian prepared for this party, he had made sufficient preparations, France is dominated by the financial industry, different from the British industry and shipping industry, the financial industry is almost the lifeblood of France, although in China, the financial industry does not account for the main body, the British banks and the American banks are above him, but if China has a certain foundation, it is logical for France to enter.

The development of Nishiben Bank made him see the possibility of developing the financial industry in this barren China, there are too many Chinese people, even if one person and one franc, it is 450 million francs, although it seems unlikely to be established, but the development of the northwest makes them find that China has not always been so poor, they have hard-working people, once their hard work is developed, let alone 450 million, even more is possible.

It is a pity that it was not the French banks that discovered this, but the Northwest Bank, which, with the help of local advantages and huge funds, suddenly spread throughout China. Even the Banque de France, with its more advanced management and capital, will never be able to please the preconceived Northwest Bank, which is such a preconceived idea.

Since the method of head-to-head competition is not good, choose to start secretly. Driven by huge interests, he absolutely dares to violate the world's greatness, not to mention monopolizing the Chinese market. France operates according to the northwestern method, China can provide at least 400 million francs of deposits and more than 30% of fixed income every year, 120 million francs may not be a big deal for France, but for Peig himself. Including the banking syndicate in China, this is definitely a moving capital.

Because of this, France and Peg were the fastest to see the benefits and the quickest to communicate, coming up with a condition that Russia could not refuse.

Dunsowitz's eyes kept flashing, Mongolia is a barren land, but beyond Mongolia, the northwest is rich. The cloth taken from the British alone amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars a year, as well as other light and heavy industries. Especially that steel mill, as long as they get them, there will be a huge change in the heavy industry of Russia.

"How many years?" Dunsowitz finally asked temptingly.

Pei Ge laughed and said, "5 years, can't be more!" ”

For a 5-year loan, the usual interest rate is 4%. It is equivalent to giving 14 million francs directly, but it cannot be counted as such. Interest-free loans, especially loans at specific times. The military support is huge, as long as it is defeated, no amount of money can be grabbed, especially in rich places. As long as Mongolia is captured, with Mongolia as a bridgehead, and peeking into the northwest, it will be a real benefit.

France is mainly financial, and colonies in various parts of the world have also supported France a lot, which is also France paid off 5 billion gold francs in reparations in 2 years after the Franco-Prussian War, which frustrated Bismarck's idea of delaying the French generation, which was 1870, that is, 40 years ago. 5 billion gold francs is equivalent to 720 million taels of silver, which is a huge amount, but the bonds issued by France raised a total of 45 billion, 9 times the indemnity, and the huge wealth brought by the colonies and the wealth of the people allowed France to tide over the difficulties, and it took less than 5 years to turn over.

Dunsowitz is still hesitating, the ministers of several countries are all human spirits, seeing that the heart of the Russian minister has moved, the northwest geographical location, is really good, in the Chinese mainland, from the seaside, at least more than a thousand kilometers, in Europe, but also through guò railways and highways, etc., rapid advance, but in China, backward conditions and complicated distances, even if there is no obstruction, for the dispatch of the army is a nightmare, only Russia, they are separated from the northwest only by Mongolia, If the territory of Mongolia is promised to be handed over to him, 1.5 million square kilometers of land, as long as it is occupied, can face the northwest, which is much stronger than other countries, and the huge land and funds are enough for them to make a choice.

The ministers have not yet spoken, they need to communicate with the deep banking group, France's actions, as if in the banking group, set up a bright light, soon, simple communication is completed, under the signal of the banking group, the ministers of various countries have increased their weight, the Japanese minister Ijiin Hikoyoshi followed Peg and said: "Japan is not as strong as France, and there are not many financial supply loans, we will also give 2 million yen for military expenses!" ”

Dunsowitz knew that Japan had almost been hit by the destruction of the cotton war the year before, and that Japan was weak in its small size, and that 2 million was better than nothing, although it was not much. The American minister hesitated for a moment, did not follow along, and finally Zhu Erdian said in a deep voice: "800,000 pounds." ”

This money is not all state funds, a large part of it comes from the banking group, especially the 800,000 pounds sterling mentioned by Zhu Erdian, which is equivalent to 4 million US dollars, 8 million yen and silver dollars, which can definitely not be called small money, together, there are almost more than 13 million silver dollars of support and tens of millions of interest-free loans, this money is enough to support a large-scale war.

This is a lot of money, Russia has always been eyeing Mongolia, as a Russian minister, I have also heard the Far East talk about planning Mongolian independence, there are already Mongolian princes and living Buddhas, and Russia has been contacted, if there is such a comparison, it seems to be very cost-effective.

"Since everyone is so supportive, then I need to repay His Excellency the Tsar!" In fact, Dunsowitz has already recognized it, but as a diplomat, he does not have the ability and cannot have the ability to decide the Far East, so the tsar needs to make a decision himself, but as far as Dunsowitz understands the tsar, even if there are no funds, the temptation of Mongolia and the northwest alone is enough for the tsar to agree to send troops, not to mention millions of dollars in military spending and tens of millions of dollars in loans, basically, it is a business without capital.

"No problem, France will help to note the Tsar!" After Peg finished speaking, Zhu Erdian also followed suit, Britain and France are worthy of the European powers, even in a country like Russia, they also have considerable influence, Britain's powerful navy and France's huge funds are enough for Russia to make a lot of decisions, not to mention, there is a huge Mongolia.

In this way, the five countries agreed on the basic things, these money, for individuals, is a huge amount of money, but for a country, it is nothing, the key lies in the identification of Mongolia, Russia has the right to invade Mongolia, which is also unique to this era, just like the Paris Peace Conference a few years later, the powers that hold sovereignty can casually package the rights of other countries to another country, and will not care about sovereignty and democracy at all.

Although Mu Mo was excluded, he had been paying attention to the secret talks between the ministers of the five countries, and it was impossible for him to know the details, but at this time, the talks between the five countries excluded Germany, and it was certain that it was not the north-south peace talks and Yuan Shikai's loan, this matter, according to the previous agreement, they Germany and German banks could participate.

Since this is not the case, with a little thought, the answer can come out, they suspect that the relationship between Germany and the Northwest is not a day or two, and the Northwest has always been under his care because of various resources and the preservation of German-American foreign companies, and it seems that it is too obvious.

Mulmer has no regrets about this, the Far East has never been Germany's backyard, China only Shandong Germany has certain rights and interests, really let the northwest become independent, and even the rise of China, the loss is the interests of Britain and France, for Germany, do not care, but because of the rise of China, after attracting the intervention of Britain and France, their pressure in Europe will be a little less, from the United Kingdom, Britain and France, and even Russia are encircling Germany, too aggrieved, make good use of China, Maybe it's another Boer War.

Since it is not good for the northwest, Mu Mo continued to inquire, and after not much gain, he directly reminded the German Harpy that although Germany had set up a liaison office in Baotou, there was no direct call, and some things were to be avoided.

The radio waves crossed half the world, reached Germany, and then passed through Germany, and returned to China, Harpy received a telegram from Mumer and attached great importance to it, he was abroad, and he could only use the channels of Guò Germany and the United States to collect intelligence on the periphery, and it was Yang Yuanzhao in the northwest who really made the decision.

This crossed half the world, from Germany and was transmitted to Yang Yuanzhao's hands, the ministers of the five countries plus the bank group of the five countries, closed-door meetings, shielded the German ministers, it is estimated that it is for the northwest to discuss some kind of conspiracy, this looks so serious, Yang Yuanzhao also attaches great importance to it, and sent a large number of personnel to investigate, but unfortunately all the relevant personnel are very few, either the minister, or the senior management of the bank, he can't get any clues at all, Germany is also working hard, there is no news for the time being, I can only think about it, Staring at the huge map, Yang Yuanzhao carefully reminisced, but he didn't gain anything, what did these powers want to do.
