"If we start a full cooperation with the country of France, or even form an alliance with the country of France, will the Ying country and France agree? They will definitely put pressure on us and even use force.”
Tang Shaochuan, who was in charge of diplomacy, raised his doubts.
"The people of Ying and France will definitely be quite dissatisfied. However, with the situation in Europe becoming increasingly tense, they would not dare to rashly use force against us. China was no longer the same as it was a few years ago. At the very least, our military strength has greatly improved. Just our Beiyang Army alone has 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers. If necessary, they could further arm more troops. Whether it was the Ying people or the French, they had to consider how much losses they would suffer if the war fell into a protracted war. Also, would it create opportunities for the Chinese?
"Therefore, as long as we can withstand the pressure from the Ying and French, there won't be any problems.
Those powers were practically paper tigers. Other than the Japanese who are bent on destroying us and annexing us, the other superpowers are just putting on an act.
Besides, we're only asking for benefits from the people of Dé, not really forming an alliance with them. As long as they did not join the alliance, the Ying and French would focus on roping them in instead of using force to attack.
"Perhaps we can use this opportunity to obtain more benefits from the Ying and French. These two countries were both old and powerful countries, rich and imposing. If you can provide us with a large loan, many of our problems can be solved.”
Yuan Baocen revealed his analysis.
The seemingly whimsical plan that Yuan Baocen proposed shocked them greatly.
Even though these big shots of the Northern Warlords were greedy and cruel, they were also people with foresight. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten to his current position.
"Gong Bao, the plan Bao Cen mentioned seems to have a chance of success!”Xu Buwu was tempted.
There were problems everywhere in Huaxia. But in the end, they had no money. If he could get a large loan from the Great Powers, many problems would be easily solved.
"That's right! My lord. The situation in Europe had indeed reached the point where it could be triggered at any moment. If we can hint to the people of Dé and get a lot of benefits from them, it should not be a problem.”Tang Shaochuan agreed.
After all, they were not fools. If they could really get benefits from the great powers, it would be of great benefit to Beiyang and them.
"Since everyone thinks it's feasible, let's do it!”Yuan Shikai made his decision.
"However, Second Young Master, if the Chinese really took the bait, how much loan can we get from them?”Liang Yifu asked.
"If you take out a loan, you can at least get 500 million marks. If you are lucky, you can even get 1 billion marks. However, you must pay us in full within three years. Otherwise, once the war broke out, it would be impossible for the people of the country to fulfill their promise. In addition, he had to make it clear that when he repaid, he would still use Mark to repay.”
Yuan Baocen specifically mentioned this point.
"Why?" Yuan Shikai was puzzled.
Not only Yuan Shikai, but the other Beiyang bigwigs also couldn't understand. On the other hand, Liang Yifu seemed to have comprehended something.
Yuan Shikai and the Beiyang elders were all stunned. They had never thought that there would be such a good thing.
Liang Yifu finally understood Yuan Baocen's plan and couldn't help but praise.
Yuan Shikai and the others also understood.
"You bastard! Wear less, Winged Husband, you two are in charge of this plan. How much benefits you can get from the people of the country will depend on you. Anyway, I only have one request. Be it loans, industrial machinery, or firearms, I'll try my best to get as much as I can from the people of the country. Whether our Beiyang can soar to the sky depends on this time.”Yuan Shikai made up his mind.
"Yes, my lord." Tang Shaochuan and Liang Yifu replied.
Yuan Baocen also smiled. With Yuan Shikai's instructions and the Beiyang's big shots reaching an agreement, everything was ready to plot against the people of Dé. As long as the people of Dé took the bait, Beiyang would be able to get a lot of benefits.
