240 Unpaid Diplomatic Debt
The enemy's enemy is his own friend, so what if the enemy does not have obvious enemies? Then spend money to support one.
Didn’t Russia invest a huge amount of funds in Xinjiang now in Aguber? This military madman from Central Asia and the Han Dynasty has now controlled most parts of Xinjiang, and the Qing government has not yet made any free moves to deal with him.
There is also the October Revolution in the Soviet Union in his previous life. If Lenin had not had the financial support of the German emperor, he would not have been able to support such a huge revolution. Isn’t this an investment from the German emperor?
After the end of World War I, why could Hitler quickly recover his economy after he came to power? If there was no financial support from the United States, it would be impossible to think about it.
Even the Marshall Plan after World War II erased Germany's reparations from World War II and added large amounts of investment to bring about the miracle of the West German economy.
Xiao Letian rubbed his temples in pain. He really couldn't explain to his brothers the various things that happened in his previous life. Such war investments that were so big that they could affect the human process were simply not something that these people who were influenced by Confucian culture since childhood could understand.
After a long time, Xiao Letian spoke slowly, "Brothers, you should be very clear that the world is even more chaotic than the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. No country or nation can survive in this world in isolation. If the Chinese nation wants to survive and not be bullied, it is impossible to rely on self-improvement alone..."
"We can't live our lives behind closed doors. We must take the initiative to participate in the changes in the world. We must find countless allies. Joining the Zongli is the only choice..."
"Why did I choose the United States and Germany? Because I know that these two countries are important countries that can influence the world pattern in the future, and are also the birthplace of countless new technologies. Our investment of more than 10 million US dollars is an astronomical figure in our Lotte Foreign Company, but it is a small pitiful sum in our nation!"
Xiao Letian was a little excited. He stood up and walked around the room. "We are wiping the butt for the stupid foreign policy of the Qing Dynasty. We are trying our best to attract allies for China. We are tying up the teeth to handle diplomacy and trying our best to win more and more allies!"
"What is more than five million taels of silver for the Qing Dynasty? It's a big deal! It's enough to scan the brick cracks in the warehouses of those corrupt officials. If the Qing Dynasty could provide some moral support, or even provide millions of taels of silver in the process of German national rejuvenation, this favor would be great..."
"No need to say that far away, just for this kind of kindness is enough to break the technical barriers woven by Britain and France. The Germans cannot pay back their principal, they can pay it back with technology, and we can easily get all kinds of high-tech technologies..."
"Tell you the truth, I have long been interested in a famous German gun, that is Mauser! This is a rifle that is better than Spencer, and it is the king of the future battlefield! And Germany's shipbuilding technology, you can't even imagine how deep the industrial foundation Germany has. Its talent reserve is something we dare not imagine..."
"I don't tell you another piece of information. Just this year, Swedish scientist Nobel officially settled in Hamburg, Germany with his patented nitroglycerin technology. This will bring revolutionary changes to human industry and military. If China wants to get it, it must find a way from the Germans..."
Xiao Letian took three or four deep breaths, finally calming down his emotions. He returned to his usual calmness and said in an unquestionable tone.
"I know what you are thinking! Aren't you afraid of the money being useless? Aren't you afraid of the Germans losing money? I can tell you with certainty that this is impossible..."
"First of all, I believe in the credibility of the German nation. This stubborn nation has very strict self-discipline. They rarely do treason... In addition, the most important point is that we can help Germany and also help Germany's generational enemy France. If the Pessimmon dares to betray, don't blame me for being rude..."
This is Xiao Letian's background. He understands all the secret war plans and national strategies of Germany. If Xiao Letian spread these things, the blow to Germany will undoubtedly be fatal. The smart Bosme could not put the country's destiny on the edge of a dangerous cliff for this little money.
Xiao Letian's good intentions finally moved all the elites under his command. They looked at each other and stood up almost at the same time. "Since lord wants a big bet, then we can only follow us, five million taels of silver, brothers, can you earn it for the lord!"
Fan Jian was also excited at this time, "Okay, okay, there was Lu Buwei who invested in Yiren, and now there was Xiao Letian who invested in Germany. Since ancient times, investing in a country has been a top deal in the eyes of merchants. If I fight, I don't believe that I can make money with my husband's plan. I can't make five million taels a year? Do it!"
After unifying his thoughts, Xiao Letian began to formulate a specific plan for three companies to enter Germany. "This time I will send three companies to Germany with Yonas. In name, they are volunteer soldiers convened by Yonas in Ryukyu and China, but your real identity is student soldiers..."
"For the past six months, our new army has been popularizing English. I want to pick out three hundred foreign-speaking people from it, form three companies, and escort Yonas back to Europe..."
"I only give you two tasks, one is to learn, the other is to establish authority... Learn Germany's advanced army tactics, command skills and the application of various new technologies..."
"It is very dangerous to establish authority. I need you to try your best to participate in the battle. In the upcoming Pakatan Harapan War, you will show the might of the Chinese, and fight to the point that the entire European military will be impressed by us, so that they will know what kind of soldiers I, Xiao Letian, are carrying!"
This is what Xiao Letian said while biting his back teeth. The cruel murderous aura made the veterans around him shudder.
"The army alone is three hundred, going deep into the strange European continent, and exerting our might in the melee of foreigners! Hahaha... It's so satisfying, so delicious, how can this battle be missing me, Xiao Hexin!"
"And I, Sima Jack!"
"I, Luo Huo, cannot be missing. I am the first musket and magic disciple. Who will I go if I don't?"
Xiao Letian didn't know that affectionate touch, and his eyes suddenly turned red. "This mission is a life-threatening death. I can only tell you one thing. Even if the entire army is destroyed, it cannot lose the majesty of our new army... Take away the biggest Xiao-character silence flag. When the residual flag rises... you will all die there!"
Suddenly, Xiao Letian's emotions collapsed and tears surged like a spring. "I'm sorry, brothers are really sorry... Woo woo woo woo woo woo we have no other choice..."
"This is a time when a group of wolves are scattered. The Qing Dynasty has knelt down in front of the global powers. Now all the great powers look down on us and call us sick husbands in East Asia! We are paying off our debts for those bastards!"
