Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 332 Loan Building
David Owen smiled and said:

"It's impossible to get an interest-free loan, but we can get a normal loan of 1 billion US dollars for national defense construction. We sell equipment at a 50% discount, which means it's 2 billion US dollars, and you can also enjoy joint security defense services."

Princess Ning Ping smiled and said:

"I'm sorry, sir! No matter how nice you say, we in the Republic of Borneo don't have the money to buy your stuff. We owe Kaiwu Company nearly 10 billion Borneo coins alone."

"It is estimated that after the entire construction is completed, it will cost more than 20 billion Borneo currency. We even embezzled part of it from Elizabeth's family. We are really short of money now."

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"Dear Princess Ning Ping! Don't worry about the company's loan. Take your time. The interest is a small matter."

"But Mr. Owen! The Eastern Europeans are much more generous than you. They are lending 10 billion rubles to the Republic of Borneo interest-free. Not only are they willing to help with infrastructure construction, they can also help station troops nearby to deal with their enemies."

David Owen quickly reminded kindly:

"Princess Ning Ping! Eastern Europeans are very ambitious. You should be alert to their idea of ​​stationing troops there."

Another member of parliament also kindly reminded:

"Count Zhang! We have a deep friendship. You have a penicillin factory in the United States, and now it basically occupies half of the penicillin market in the United States. The product is also very profitable. You made your fortune with it. Don't you believe in the United States!?"

"You are so close to the Philippine base. America is capable of maintaining order."

Princess Ning Ping said seriously, "They are all talking about being harsh.

"But! We in the Republic of Borneo already owe too much in loans, and now we can't even pay the interest. There is nothing we can do!"

"You guys chat slowly, I'm a little tired so I'll leave for a while."

As soon as she finished speaking, she left with a stern face.

Ha ha ha ha ha!
How dare you threaten my mother-in-law with words? Is this old man starting to lose his moral integrity? ?
How much money did I invest in that factory in my beautiful country? I really dare not give it up. Do you believe it?

Even Old Man Zhu and Wang Tiantian’s grandfather have been packed up and given to you!
The penicillin factory in the Republic of Borneo is about to be completed, and its scale will be larger than that of twenty penicillin factories in the United States.

Zhang Kaiwu pointed at the map on the wall and said seriously:

"Mr. Owen! We are a small neutral country!!! Eastern European big brothers just want to help them build their country and maintain order. Since they are willing to give them such a large interest-free loan, how could they do this?!"

"Besides! They have Palawan Island, which has a pretty good environment. There is fresh water and deep water bay on the island. Right now there are only a few people from Borneo on duty there."

"If there really is a security problem, we can lease Palawan to Eastern Europe to station troops there. The island is far away from them, so the security of Borneo should not be a problem."

David Owen and his companions looked at the map on the wall and were dumbfounded!
Zhang Kaiwu looked at the surprised congressman and continued with a smile:

"In the past few days, I see that the relationship between you and the Eastern European representatives is pretty good. It will be convenient for you all to get intimate with each other in the future."

"Everyone can supervise each other's discipline, rectify military discipline, and learn and improve! This way there will be no problem."

...............

This is such a huge problem!
You are just talking bullshit! ?

You rent out this island so that bases in Eastern Europe can sit side by side with our military bases, sharing a deepwater port! ?
If the Republic of Borneo really allows Eastern Europe to station troops next to the Philippines, that would be nose to nose and eye to eye.

The two families are at odds with each other. What if the warship has a traffic accident and can't stop the car? ?

Will the submarines meet every day and need to set off together?! ?
Will airports share the same radio station for dispatch in the future? Otherwise, what if a visiting plane hits another plane during takeoff?
This is absolute bullshit!

Is it because of the issue of Palawan that an Asian battlefield is being opened here?

David Owen could imagine that Eastern Europe would definitely pay a sky-high price for this base, and then happily build a small base.

Eastern Europe only needs to simply build a radar station and set up countless artillery batteries, and then every day the alarm will sound when the base is locked by the radar. It's so disgusting that it will make the United States sick to death.

If the United States wants to solve this problem, or if it changes its base, wouldn’t that be a sign of weakness to the enemy?!

But this is the largest aircraft and ammunition base in Southeast Asia. It took seven or eight years to build. How much money would it cost to move the location?

How much would it cost to rebuild a project from scratch! ?

Councillor David Owen and another councillor stared at Earl Zhang in amazement. They have been engaged in diplomatic career for five or six years, and they have never seen such a shameless and arrogant person!
A small Republic of Borneo actually dared to use the military base of the United States to directly threaten the powerful United States and demand an interest-free loan! ?

In the past, people were always polite to me wherever I went. Even if I had some opinions, I would keep them to myself and beg them to change their attitude.

They really met a ruthless person today. They were speechless for a long time.

………………

Zhang Kaiwu looked at the two congressmen's faces, some blue and some white, and the facial expressions were wonderful.

The eye drops have also been put in.

Feeling that the time was right, he took out two small pieces of paper with Arabic numerals written on them and handed them over, saying with a smile:

"This is a small gift. I recommend the deposit insurance business of our Kaiwu Bank to you. This is a VIP service that is compatible with your Citibank."

"Each account has a minimum deposit of one million US dollars in cash, and you only need a password to access the service, which is very convenient."

"The account number is on the top and the password is on the bottom. It saves a lot of trouble. Isn't it very convenient to use?!"

The two congressmen looked at the piece of paper in front of them, their faces turning blue and red.

Should I drink a toast or a penalty drink?
MP David Owen and another MP looked at each other, the thin piece of paper at hand.

I wanted to raise my hands, but they felt so heavy.

You can achieve financial freedom for your family by getting it, but after getting it, you will need help to speak well of others to get a loan.

When has the United States ever done such a thing? Apart from arms trade, it has never done such things, okay! ?

but!

If the aid funds are not agreed and the relationship continues to be hostile to the other side, this Earl Zhang really dares to change his status as a neutral country, turn to Eastern Europe in exchange for security, and let Eastern Europe build a base under his nose.

We are doing this for the safety of our beautiful country.

They looked at each other again, made up their minds, reached out together to take the note, and put it in their pockets.

The atmosphere became much better now. Zhang Kaiwu handed over a Cuban cigar and said seriously:

"It's not easy for us in the Republic of Borneo. It's not easy for a small country to survive. In fact, the loan is also for setting up factories and infrastructure construction. There is no other idea, and the money will not be spent on other things."

"We don't want Eastern Europe to station troops unless it is absolutely necessary. It's just that the Republic of Borneo is too poor. They have to borrow money to build infrastructure and do some small business."

"Just like Princess Ning Ping said, our basic policy is non-alignment. We are an underdeveloped country, and economic development is the most important thing."

The two congressmen also lit their cigars and said with a smile:

"If this is the case, we can discuss it and we can also consider introducing technology to you."

"But! If the situation develops seriously in the future, we really won't be able to control it."

Zhang Kaiwu understood what they meant, and they could only try their best to facilitate it, but if Eastern Europe insisted on stationing troops there.

I really don’t know what the United States will do for security issues! If things change in the future, they can’t make any promises.

Zhang Kaiwu said seriously:

"We are a peace-loving country in the Republic of Borneo. What we like most is to maintain world peace. We will not take sides at all."

"For example, we would never rent out the Palawan island if it is not necessary."

"Even if they stay to fish, it will be a good thing in the future. Even if we can't do business, we are still good friends."

The atmosphere was now better and everyone started celebrating again in the evening.

The representatives of the United States also felt the enthusiasm and began to join the dance.

………………Half a month later, the battle of the Yalu River began, and the negotiation of the loan for the Republic of Borneo finally came to an end.

Here in the Republic of Borneo, in front of everyone, we accepted loans from both the United States and Eastern Europe.

One is a 10-year interest-free loan of 10 billion U.S. dollars from the United States. Of course, there is not a penny in cash. All of this is paid for with infrastructure equipment, including a giant fertilizer plant and a large oil extraction plant equipment.

Ten years later, the loan was processed as normal, and Zhang Kaiwu noted that if necessary, early repayment could be made.

When the two congressmen saw that something was wrong, they sent another batch of cannons and various light weapons and equipment.

The 10 billion interest-free ruble loan from Eastern Europe for 30 years also contains no cash but various equipment, including a variety of basic factories.

Zhang Kaiwu also pointed out that these loans would be repaid slowly in the future, but some food and light industrial products could be provided to Eastern Europe.

Of course, this Eastern European loan did not come in cash. Zhang Kaiwu casually ordered a large number of agricultural machinery, various heavy vehicles, machine tools, crude oil extraction equipment, automobile production lines, and helicopter production lines.

Since he did not order any weapons and equipment production lines, the anxious Eastern European representatives really bought and sent weapons and equipment as much as they could.

If you buy a car, we will give you a Kashaqiu production line and a heavy artillery production line. If you buy a machine, we will give you a tank, an armed helicopter, and an AK production line.

This is a good tradition of Big Brother. It is so nice to new friends and always gives them weapons and equipment as gifts.

Zhang Kaiwu knew what Eastern Europe meant. Even if it could only cause some congestion in the Strait of Malacca and make European countries unhappy, it would be a good thing.

Although my people did not come in, my weapons and equipment did, which is also a victory.

Eastern Europe is not only sending it to the Republic of Borneo, it is also sending it to the Egyptian people, but now it can’t even send it out.

He sent numerous swallows and crows to Egypt to promote the products there.

We are also trying our best to send gifts to Seba, acting like the big brother of Eastern Europe.

The most outrageous thing is that Egypt later agreed to buy equipment worth two million US dollars, but Eastern Europe ended up giving away gifts worth more than three billion US dollars.

Planes, artillery, tanks...

Eastern Europe was really successful in this matter. The Egyptians did not know the seriousness of the matter. They knew that gifts were not so easy to take, and they got themselves into a lot of trouble. They were almost destroyed by the agents.

The people in the beautiful country actually have the same enthusiasm. Now they are working hard to send it to Dongba and to bring the freedom of the beautiful country to the whole world.

They turned East Pakistan into Bangladesh and caused East and West Pakistan to split, thus achieving their strategic goals.

The United States sent things to the Republic of Borneo only because it did not want Borneo to suddenly fall to Eastern Europe.

In the game between the big countries, how could that gift be so easy to get?!

The United States’ compromise this time is probably due to the Medan base.

Maybe they don't take the Republic of Borneo seriously, so as long as there are no troops stationed in Eastern Europe, everything can be negotiated.

Maybe the war is about to break out and there is no time to deal with this little shrimp in Borneo! ?

Or it could be due to Great Britain, or the country is in an economic downturn and wants to boost the economy, all of which are possible.

Zhang Kaiwu thought similarly. Maybe the United States really wanted to do this business. The reason was very simple. Kaiwu’s company was really rich.

Everything went smoothly, except that my beautiful mother-in-law's hands were shaking a little when she signed the mortgage agreement.

He was afraid that Zhang Kaiwu would lose his martial ethics in the future and instigate Jin Ling to cause trouble and Tong Ling to rebel, trying to shirk his responsibilities.

………………

There was a huge fight outside, but here in Borneo, there was peace and prosperity, and everyone was still smiling, as if they were all friends. No one knew what was going on over there.

Zhang Kaiwu also had a clear attitude. He made it clear about his civilian factory orders: I am using loans to build infrastructure and I am not leaning towards either of you. I will pay you back in the future.

It's all nonsense to say how worried he is about the war.

He really fought to the death, and Zhang Kaiwu was not afraid of anyone.

He now has millions of mercenaries, and the worst that can happen is guerrilla warfare in the jungle!

Given the complex environment in the Republic of Borneo, planes, cannons and aircraft carriers are of little use.

More than a dozen aircraft carriers and dozens of battleships of Great Britain are now parked in shipping companies, waiting to be dismantled as scrap metal.

Except for two ships left for Wang Yongfu and his team to train, the engines of the others were dismantled and equipped on cargo ships and tankers.

After the aiming technology of artillery and the bombing technology of airplanes were improved, these things were really useless and were just cannon targets.

The professional permanent forts that Zhang Kaiwu built all over Borneo were economical and free of charge. He didn't want to fight others, and the forts were much more useful than aircraft carriers.

With the help of those engineers, old battleships and 406mm main guns removed from old aircraft carriers have occupied all the main transportation routes of the Republic of Borneo and installed mechanical loading equipment.

Many people may not have any idea of ​​the power of this kind of fixed artillery. In fact, a fixed artillery fort was built in the Pacific Ocean in the past. There were only two guns on it. The United States sent two aircraft carrier fleets and bombed it for several months, but it still failed to level it.

In the end, I had to take a detour.

Under the absolute protective armor, nothing works.

This fort changed hands twice, both times through internal strife and rebellion, and was never taken down.

Otherwise, if it is hit by a 1.2-ton shell, the aircraft carrier will have to kneel down obediently.

The attack range is within 40 kilometers from the shore. Come and try to land. Even if an aircraft carrier comes, we will see if we can knock you down with a few cheap shells.

The spherical protective armor of those huge cannons is 1,000 millimeters thick, plus the armor on the fortifications.

In the future, the AK130, which has been praised so highly, will be used up in a naval gun battle. Even tickling it will not be enough.

Even if a nuclear bomb comes, it may not be able to destroy its position unless it is dropped directly into the artillery position.

These artillery positions are also the support of Wang Yongfu and his men. Whether it is the United States or Eastern Europe, if they really want to turn against us, without the artillery support of the aircraft carrier fleet, how many planes can you use to bomb here! ?
.....................

It is nonsense to say that the soldiers of the United States are good at fighting. An army that smokes flour wherever it goes and whose supply of flour is abundant, and an army that can be dragged down by the Indochina War, there is really nothing to be afraid of.

The United States is bragging that it is the best in the world, and everything else is bullshit.

The harvest in the warehouses in Peking in a single year, as well as so much "Coca-Cola" and those painkillers from the United States, made Zhang Kaiwu realize long ago that this was a bullshit army.

Even the Olympics takes advantage of lax drug testing to allow athletes to take drugs. Countries that want to win more gold medals really have nothing to be afraid of.

The same thing happened in Eastern Europe. Even an Indochina War could drag Eastern Europe down. An Eastern Europe that specializes in fighting frivolous wars is not scary.

There is only one condition for victory in the war in Eastern Europe, and that is you have to fight in the ice and snow, otherwise you will be beaten so badly that you don't know where to go.

To put it bluntly, they are all paper tigers that can be pierced with just one poke.

Moreover!
If the United States really called, he would immediately turn to Eastern Europe for help.

If the Eastern Europeans attacked, he would dare to immediately side with the United States.

Ha ha ha ha ha!
But there is no need to do that. Just sit and watch the clouds roll by, listen to the flowers bloom and fall, and let the tides rise and fall.

Doesn't it smell?

Nothing is more important than development. All he needs is time!

Zhang Kaiwu and Princess Ning Ping saw off the delegations of the two countries and gave them a large number of rich small gifts.

Especially the representatives from Eastern Europe, each of them carried two or three large boxes of cigarettes, as well as various alcoholic beverages and other things, almost overloading their plane.

The key point is that for the sake of those swallow girls who came here, they have suffered a lot.

One night of love means a hundred days of grace!
