The French Prime Minister once again exchanged views with the President and Speaker, and after reaching an agreement, he said: "If the mainland is gone, then we have indeed lost. This is acceptable, but what if there is no war between France and Germany within ten years?
Wang Jiuling said: "There are two options. First, we will return everything to you after ten years; second, you can also relax this period to twenty or thirty years. If there is no war, I will return everything."
Here it is, of course if you mortgage the colony to us, then we will also manage that land at that time."
The French Prime Minister said: "I think if there is no war, at least interest must be paid. We cannot end up working in vain!"
Wang Jiuling said: "Is there such a thing as interest in gambling? The test of whether you can win or not is your character. If you win, you win. If you lose, you lose. It's that simple!"
The three French giants discussed it, and finally the French Prime Minister said: "Mr. General, after our discussion, you are not sure that your mineral resources are real, so 10 billion US dollars is too much. We decided to bet 5 billion US dollars.
What do you think about it here?"
Wang Jiuling shrugged and said: "Of course, I don't care! What about your payment method?"
French PM says: 'We will pay you within a year'
Wang Jiuling said: "No, I can only accept to pay at least 60% first, and the rest will be paid in the next two months, or you can mortgage the colony to us, and of course all the resources above must also be handed over to us.
We, I think Madagascar is very good? You can use it as collateral."
The French President said: "Your Majesty General, we will pay you within one year, which means that if you lose, you can pay us within one year. Isn't this great?"
Wang Jiuling said: "No need. If you can't accept it, we will gamble less. Anyway, you must give me all your money within two months."
The three French giants looked at each other. This Chinese guy is really stubborn.
The French Speaker said: "If we meet your request, then what is your payment method?"
Wang Jiuling said: "If your country bets five billion U.S. dollars, then I will either pay you all with money, or I will mine the mineral deposits on that piece of paper for free for fifteen years, but I guess I will give it to you directly.
Five billion U.S. dollars plus your five billion U.S. dollars, a total of ten billion U.S. dollars in cash for you."
The French Speaker said: "We have no way to withdraw so much cash in two months, so we will stop here today, and we will continue at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Now I need to discuss it with our parliament!"
Wang Jiuling said: "Yes, but I hope that after the next negotiation, the contract will be drafted and signed directly!"
The French immediately summoned all members of the parliament for an emergency discussion meeting in the afternoon. Wang Jiuling was not stupid, so the French could not deceive Wang Jiuling as a fool. Now it was not Wang Jiuling who begged the French, but the French who hoped that Wang Jiuling would not change his mind and ask for help.
Otherwise, if there is no signed contract, no one will recognize it, even if you want to use force.
But now the whole world is discussing that Wang Jiuling is actually a fool. Newspapers about the negotiations quickly made headlines. Now the newspaper office has specially prepared a group of people to wait for the news of the negotiations to be reported to the company and start printing immediately.
The eyes of the whole world are now focused on Paris. Now everyone knows Wang Jiuling's name. It is just a synonym for fool. People in many countries are jealous of the French because they have encountered such a big fool like Wang Jiuling.
Especially in Shanghai's public concessions, people from several countries look up and down, but the Japanese are nervous. If Wang Jiuling gets five billion US dollars, the most dangerous people will be the Japanese. Wang Jiuling's famous name has been imprinted on it.
In the bone marrow of every Japanese
Japanese Ambassador Matsuoka Yosuke went to meet with the ambassadors of Britain, France and the United States, hoping to stop France's bet with Wang Jiuling and to express its interests. However, it did not work, especially France. The French government had already taken the initiative to negotiate. If France gives up now,
, that is equivalent to the French government admitting its incompetence and thinking that it will really be destroyed by Germany in two months. After that, the French will still have a foothold in the world, so even if some people in France know that they should not give Qian Wang Jiuling, but
The more important thing is the money. As for the rise of China, this is not a matter of France alone. If the most powerful countries in the world cannot stop the rise of China, then what can France do?
, the French know that everyone is unanimous on the issue of dealing with China, but apart from China, everyone is the enemy, so France cannot let other countries watch the joke. In any case, these billions of dollars have been earned.
Wang Jiuling felt that France was likely to give them a colony as a mortgage, so he immediately telegraphed Huang Peiyao and asked him to immediately expand his troops into a group army. He was appointed commander-in-chief of the group army and had three armies under his jurisdiction. His military rank was still that of major general.
But with the rank of general, the same goes for his subordinates! In addition, Sun Chuanling's side also expanded into a group army like him.
After Huang Peiyao, Sun Chuanling and others received the news, they were so happy that they didn't sleep well all night. General! Commanding 100,000 troops. A year ago, they came here as battalion and company commanders. Happiness came too quickly. It is indeed very rewarding to work with the regiment commander.
future
The two of them had been with Wang Jiuling for so long that they knew the temper they had forgotten, so they began intense army expansion training. Many of the wrong officers had gone to Chahar to fight the Japanese with real swords and guns. They were people who had seen blood, so
The Xikang Army's combat effectiveness will definitely not be reduced if it establishes two armies.
However, Wang Jiuling later sent a telegram to them, asking them to train troops for mountain warfare, especially in environments like the rainforests of Southeast Asia. Wang Jiuling also initially proposed French Indochina, but he was worried that the French would be wary, so he said he wanted Madagascar.
, in fact, it is an island, but the geographical environment is very good, it would be good to bring it over, but it is too far from the country, and the cost of transporting people there will be very high.
...and when the British government learned that Wang Jiuling wanted Madagascar, the British could not accept it. Although China is not strong, hidden dangers must be nipped in the bud. If such fertile land as Madagascar is given to Wang Jiuling, then there will be
Thousands of Chinese came to open up wasteland, and then they were only separated from Africa by a strait. It was too dangerous for Africa. Moreover, if China becomes stronger one day and Madagascar is strategically located, the Chinese can run rampant in the Indian Ocean. Then
How else can Britain guarantee the crown of India on the Queen's head?
Therefore, the British firmly disagree with the French giving any colony in Africa to the Chinese, otherwise the British will send troops to occupy it.
The French government held an urgent discussion the next morning and discussed the British opinions. The British did not agree to colonies in Africa, and the Americans naturally would not agree to colonies in the Americas. After much deliberation, there was only French India in Asia.
China, but naturally not all of it will be given to Wang Jiuling...
