    "Loans must be guaranteed. We lend to the British because in addition to their tariff guarantee, we also have the credibility of the British royal crown. We lend to North America because they have enough resources, such as Minnesota's iron ore, and Afghanistan's  Coal mines in the Palachian mountains, oil in Pennsylvania, but what do you have? What can you guarantee? You don¡¯t have enough resources, and you don¡¯t have the credibility of the crown. You are just an elected republic, and you can only guarantee it?  It¡¯s just that little tariff revenue, but it¡¯s a bit ridiculous that you want to borrow 10 billion yuan for that little tariff guarantee. I guess I won¡¯t be able to see the date when you repay this loan in my lifetime.¡± ¡°Since Emperor Yang.  After deciding to help the Spaniards, they naturally took action immediately. So the manager of the People's Bank of China arrogantly said the above words to the French Minister of Finance who came to the door.  You won¡¯t be able to see the date when we pay off the compensation in your lifetime, okay?  But what he said is indeed right. Even the French Finance Minister knows that applying for a loan of 10 billion yuan is indeed a fantasy job. As the guy in front of me said, what can France do to guarantee it?  of?  The British can obtain the loan because of their friendship with Emperor Yang. The British Crown Prince and his wife are currently visiting China, and it is said that Edward VII is no longer prepared to do it because he feels that he has failed the British people in this war, so Crown Prince Victor will soon  As heir to the British throne, his nearly twenty-year friendship with Yang Feng was enough to secure any desired loan.  Needless to say about Russia, the relationship between Queen Alexandra and Yang Feng has long been known to everyone, not to mention that Russia also has resources. Even if it loses most of its land, the remaining land area of ??this country still reaches tens of millions of square kilometers.  , coal, iron ore, and various nonferrous metals are spread across the remaining land of this country.  They have a lot of value for Chinese capitalists to squeeze out.  The same is true in North America. Not to mention the iron ore in Minnesota alone is enough for them to borrow tens of billions of dollars, not to mention other things. There are good things in the Appalachian mountains, and they also have enough value.  For pressing.  But what does France have?  What can such a big land have? Without the iron ore in Lorraine, French steel plants will have to import iron ore from abroad, not to mention other oil and so on. What qualifications does France have to apply for a loan?  And it¡¯s still 10 billion yuan.  After all, you are asking others to take advantage of you at this time, and you must be qualified.  But without this loan, France would really not be able to survive. The German government has made it very clear that the first compensation must be paid off within one year, otherwise France must repay it by ceding land. Now France  The country is trying to sell iron, and even the rails are being ripped off to transport it to Germany. What's more, Germany is not the only one waiting to receive compensation.  "Your Excellency, Count, I hope you can take our past friendship into consideration and be tolerant on this matter. The French people will always remember your friendship." His Excellency, the French Finance Minister, said in a pleading tone.  "Your Excellency Minister, we are friends and we are very willing to help you get through this difficult time. But the problem is that I am just a manager. The People's Bank of China is not my property. I am only managing this bank for His Majesty the Emperor. I have no power and cannot  I made a loan without sufficient security because of my personal feelings. In that case, the chairman will remove me from my position and even send me to jail and strip me of my title. You probably don¡¯t know that the chairman of our People¡¯s Bank of China has just been replaced.¡± Manager.  He said with a embarrassed look on his face.  Yang Feng¡¯s concubines take turns serving as the chairman of the People¡¯s Bank of China. This year it happens to be the turn of the most feared Concubine Ye.     All right.  As soon as he heard this name, the French Finance Minister knew that there was no hope for this loan. Yang Feng's wives represented his different faces, and the queen represented his nobility, kindness, and kindness. In short, they were all imaginable virtues.  , but Concubine Ye represents his cruelty. As long as he sacrifices this wife, it means that he is ready to slaughter the lambs mercilessly. Anyway, no matter how heinous Concubine Ye is, His Majesty the Emperor  I won't have the heart to blame her. Is this called love?  "Humph, what credibility does a republic have?" Concubine Ye said with disdain while chatting with the princess with a group of ladies at a ball held for the Prince of Wales and his wife.  "Your Highness, what if it was a kingdom?" Princess Mary, who had actually accepted France's request, asked tentatively. At this time, the French were really desperate.  "Maybe the kingdom can consider it." Concubine Ye shrugged and said.  Her words quickly reached the ears of the French cabinet ministers and members of Congress. At this time, some members had publicly proposed the restoration of the monarchy, but their target was not Carlos of the Spanish Bourbon family.  Even if it doesn't change it, it's WesternThe French are more inclined to find a real Frenchman, and this Napoleon V is now in England.  ¡°If another Napoleon ascends the throne of France, it will undoubtedly be a provocation to the sentiments of the entire European people, especially for Germany, not to mention that his grandfather has indeed left a deep shadow in the hearts of the French people.  Therefore, the target of the French is Philippe, Duke of Orleans. Previously, this guy was kicked out by the French government because of the restoration. Later, he asked to return to France to participate in the war, but was rejected by the French government. He had to continue his travels abroad. Now he has traveled  Now that we are in Sweden, with him as the King of France, at least we don¡¯t have to worry about the feelings of European countries, nor the feelings of our own people. After all, the Orleans family has offended neither the European people nor the French people.  But when the French Congress publicly proposed to welcome back the Duke of Orleans and restore the Kingdom of France, it was opposed by the Spanish government. King Alfonso XIII of Spain publicly claimed that according to the order of succession to the throne, it was not the Orleans family's turn.  They pushed the original Philip I to be just the son of French King Louis XIII, while the Spanish royal family pushed Philip V to be the grandson of Louis XIV. According to the law of succession, it was clear who should go to the throne.  What's more, the Orleans family should actually be considered traitors to the Bourbon family. How could Louis XVI be pushed to the guillotine, and then how could the tragedy of Napoleon's wreaking havoc on Europe happen? As for him being guillotined himself, he simply deserved the misfortune.  How could the descendants of such a man qualify for the throne of France?  Of course, we in Spain are purely for justice and fairness, and we are definitely not coveting the throne of France. As the King of Spain, Alfonso XIII will definitely not become the King of France, but don¡¯t forget that we still have a branch of the Spanish Bourbon family.  Duke Carlos of Madrid is fully qualified to inherit the French throne. If the French government still insists on pushing the Duke of Orleans to the throne, then don't blame our Spanish army for asking for an explanation.  Although the Beijing Peace Treaty has been signed, it does not mean that we cannot start another war because of the issue of throne succession.  After issuing this threat, the Spanish government immediately took substantial action, not only regrouping the Pyrenees frontline troops that had begun to retreat, but also withdrawing the most elite Spanish troops from the North American battlefield, including the naval fleet.  The military port ran to wander outside Toulon.  Moreover, the Spanish also attracted an accomplice. The Spanish government obtained the support of the Savoy family in exchange for a reduction in part of the indemnity. The Italian government announced its support for the Spanish. If the Spanish government launched a war against France on the grounds of succession to the throne, then Italy was willing  Provide help, including military help.  At this time, it was not just Yang Feng and Yuan Shichang who saw what the Spaniards were thinking. The Germans also saw it. William absolutely did not want to see France and Spain merge. His goal was to slowly and gradually annex France in the future. If France  Together with Spain, not to mention the strength, even Yang Feng standing behind Spain is enough to restrain him.  So immediately the German government announced that the French throne could not be inherited by a Spaniard, and the Kaiser supported the Duke of Orleans as King of France. If Spain invaded France because of this, Germany would absolutely not accept it.  Europe, where the war had just subsided, suddenly became turbulent again. For a moment, people were in a trance and returned to the ancient Middle Ages. The poor French were almost crying at this time. Damn, we are our own king. We can let whoever we like be our king. Why?  Now we have no say. Isn¡¯t this bullying?  Of course, in fact, everyone is just bragging. Except for Spain, which still has some strength, the rest, including Germany, are absolutely incapable of launching another war. The ruins of his own home have not been cleaned up yet. I guess William is really  If he dared to do this, those German people would dare to stand up, kick him aside, and still fight him?  Are you crazy? We won't follow you anymore. Nearly 10 million casualties are not enough?  In this way, diplomacy becomes the only solution.  The changes in Europe will naturally alarm the Chinese Emperor. The peace-loving Emperor Yang naturally does not want his friends to fall into war over a trivial matter, so he decides to mediate the dispute over the succession of the French throne.  ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to get tense over such a trivial matter. I have a proposal here that you might as well consider.¡± He invited the envoys from the four countries to China, including France, to the palace and said.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
