The first big thing Charles de Gaulle did after he came to power was to buy centrifuges from the Ming Dynasty and then build the first uranium enrichment factory in Gaul to build an atomic bomb. ◇↓◇↓ Xiao◇↓

Originally, their first atomic bomb was slowly saved by reactor production plutonium, and this was the one that accelerated the progress after Charles de Gaulle came to power. Before Charles de Gaulle came to power, they actually had only one production reactor, which could produce up to 12 kilograms of plutonium per year. After Charles de Gaulle came to power, in order to make atomic bombs, they built two larger-scale production reactors to meet the requirements. Their first gas diffusion uranium enrichment factory was actually not completed until 65 years, and they did not obtain the first batch of weapon-grade uranium in sixties.

But now there is no need to be so troublesome.

Directly recharge centrifuge to uranium enrichment plant.

In order to equip their Awesome nuclear submarine with sufficient number of nuclear bombs in the shortest time, Charles de Gaulle decided to take a two-pronged approach, while continuing to build a plutonium production reactor, while purchasing centrifuges from the Ming Dynasty, building the first large uranium enrichment factory in Gallic, and striving to explode Gaul's first nuclear bomb before 1960.

As for the lack of funds...

This is simple, and selling land, didn’t Yang Feng have long been thinking about St. Martin Island?

Then I can just sell it to him. Anyway, the Americans have stabbed Gaul several times, and they are still placing arms to the Algerian guerrillas through the Italians. He knows this very well. In order to prevent Yang Feng from getting Saint Martin, the promised aid was given less than half. This time, it was just a lesson for them to know that Gaul was a completely independent country. What the Gauls wanted to do was not needed to ask the United States for approval.

"St. Martin is not worth much money, I think you should be very clear about this. Besides, it is not very useful to ask for it. Can I really deploy the bomber there?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

St. Martin is not enough, he is now thinking about another better place.

"His Excellency, what do you mean?"

Pierre asked in confusion.

"Your foreign debt is very high, right?"

Yang Feng asked again.

Pierre nodded awkwardly. Of course, the three billion US dollars of foreign debt was high, and many of these foreign debts were about to expire.

"How many are there in the Ming Empire Bank here?"

"800 million US dollars."

"Give me New Caledonia. Then the $800 million debt is written off, and of course, it must include St. Martin."

Yang Feng said.

Pierre gasped.

“But there is nickel ore.”

He swallowed and said.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Who wants a place without a mine? It's just a island with less than 20,000 square kilometers, with a total population of tens of thousands on it. If there is no resource, do you think it is worth 600 tons of gold? Of course, even if it belongs to the Ming Dynasty, your Gaul company's assets will definitely remain unmoved. The nickel ore that belongs to them is theirs, but the mining rights in other places are given to my people."

Yang Feng said.

Eighty-billion US dollars is not a small amount, and it is a huge amount of wealth at this time. The huge amount of foreign exchange reserves in most countries may not necessarily have these. In fact, if a country can have more than 800 million US dollars in foreign exchange reserves at this time, it must be a decent big country. There are only a lot of billions of dollars in just one hundred billions. It is like a miracle like the Ming Dynasty, and Britain’s foreign exchange reserves are less than 3 billion!

"But, Mr. Head, we need funds now."

Pierre said.

What he means is that even if you forgive this part of the debt, there will be no real change in our current situation. After all, all the things we borrowed from you before have spent. Now the fiscal deficit of 12,000 francs is the most urgent thing to solve, and this requires new funds to be injected.

"I'll lend you another 500 million dragon yuan!"

Yang Feng waved his hand and said.

These dragon yuan are enough to buy 10,000 centrifuges.

"Okay, I'll report to the country right away."

Pierre said goodbye quickly with a heartbeat.

"Go and let Imperial Bank put another set of printing lines!"

After he left, Yang Feng said to Hu Hao.

Although everyone understands this kind of money printing game, as long as the money printed by Yang Feng can buy something satisfactory, they can lend the Gaul people 500 million dragon yuan banknotes, and then they can use these money to buy the centrifuge they need from the Ming Dynasty. In this sense, these 500 million dragon yuan banknotes are equivalent to the 500 tons of gold it represents.

New Caledonia is a good place. In addition to having 25% of the world's nickel ore reserves, it is more important to build military bases to scare the kangaroos. One day, the Kangaroos will probably have to worry when they sleep.

However, this matter depends on whether Charles de Gaulle has such courage. After all, the area of ​​this island is relatively large, 18,000 square kilometers. Even if there is no other truly valuable except nickel ore, the area alone is also very visually impactful. If it weren't for people like Charles de Gaulle's rule, others would probably not even have to think about it.

But this is not the place, and it is not worth 800 million US dollars, like a deserted island on the sea without any resources. Not to mention 800 million US dollars, no one cares about 80 million US dollars. It is precisely because of the resources that are worth this price. Everyone is familiar with it. Before the time comes to ignore the interests of their relationship, Head Yang will not be the sucker.

Besides, this transaction itself is beneficial to Gaul. Although the New Caledonian nickel ore was discovered in the 1960s, even if it was replaced by the Ming Dynasty, the interests of the Gaul nickel ore enterprises there could still be guaranteed. There is nothing to doubt about this. The European companies in the Ming Dynasty can prove this. Head Yang has always had a good record in this regard, so the Gallic capital community will not worry about anything.

At most, the Gaul government reduces taxes every year.

But New Caledonia itself has only mining industry and has no smelting capacity. All the mined ores are transported to Europe for smelting, so Gaul cannot collect much taxes from those miners a year. There is only a population of 300,000 to modern times. At this time, it is estimated that it is 100,000, and half of them are the Karnaks, that is, the indigenous people, and the number of white people is probably only 300,000 to 50,000.

It can be said that as long as Charles De Gaulle has the courage to withstand the pressure of public opinion, the deal will definitely be successful.

Once New Caledonia is obtained and then Western Australia is taken down, the kangaroo will completely fall into the pocket of the head of state.

As for the rest, it is very simple. Chinese immigrate to Australia on a large scale, striving to spend decades to dye the continent yellow. Of course, it is not Western Australia. Western Australia has many mineral resources but not many land suitable for living, just the southwest corner, but East Australia is different. The entire southeast coast is full of wet fertile land. Not to mention that it is easy to support 30 to 50 million people, and it will not be too much immigrant in the future. It is only 20 million.

If the white man dares to object, then tighten the noose.

They would know how to do it, just share the rich land with them, not to steal them.

Yang Feng's proposal gave Charles De Gaulle a headache. This is a good deal, but it is indeed a good deal. New Caledonia is not worth 800 million US dollars at all. No matter how they count, they have made a profit, not to mention that there is a loan of 500 million yuan.

This loan is of great significance to him, whose fiscal deficit is as high as 120 billion francs. At this time, the exchange rate of the francs to the US dollar was 490 to 1, which means that their fiscal deficit was 2.4 billion US dollars, while the 500 million dragon yuan was 6.25 billion US dollars, which means that Yang Feng solved more than a quarter of the fiscal deficit for him at once.

More importantly, this huge sum of money is enough for him to maintain the military expenditure of the Algerian War in the short term. Of course, he cannot really buy 10,000 centrifuges. Buy one or two thousand units first. It is justified that he will introduce patents to produce them by himself. Besides, Yang Feng's factory cannot produce so many centrifuges in a short term, so that most loans can be used as military expenditure. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty's arms production is more popular with the military, so that he can repay the military that brought him to power.

The 800 million US dollars of debt that was also exempted was equivalent to more than one-quarter of Gaul's foreign debt, and foreign debt did not mature at once. After exempting this part, it gave him enough room to move around and there was no need to worry about debt problems in a short period of time.

In short, the biggest annoyance he is currently facing is solved immediately.

Of course, New Caledonia is indeed very important. It is one of the world's most important nickel ore suppliers, and it is the largest territory in Gaul in the Pacific Ocean. But then again, if not, who would have bought it for a huge sum of 800 million US dollars?

Eighty-million dollars are enough to build four Claymonsoe-class aircraft carriers.

It can be said that selling is absolutely cost-effective simply in terms of interests. The only problem is that it will cause harm to his reputation. After all, selling land just now will be ridiculed. There are many people watching him now, especially since his coming from the right way, there are many people waiting to find an opportunity to knock him off. However, as long as the military still supports him, these people will not be able to make any trouble.

So after thinking about it, De Gaulle decided to leave this matter to the parliament for research. As for what he could do, he was to work hard to push the parliament to agree.

But this is not easy. The politicians are very troublesome, and the Americans must stop it. Yang Feng's goal is obviously aimed at Australia. The United States' current strategy is to support the kangaroos to restrain Yang Feng. If this guy really gets New Caledonia, it will pose a fatal threat to Australia. It would be strange if the United States does not try its best to stop it. After all, the United States is not without people in the Gaul Parliament.

In short, even if he wanted to sell, he would have to work hard, but he also added one to Yang Feng's offer.
Chapter completed!
