The current international environment of the German Empire was indeed quite bad.
They were almost surrounded by the allied countries in central Europe. Even though the Germanic Empire was very strong, especially in terms of military strength, it was the top in the world.
However, the upper echelons of the Germanic Empire were also extremely cautious about the upcoming war.
This was also the reason why the upper echelons of the Germanic Empire placed their hopes on a quick victory.
The Germanic Empire could not afford to delay. They had to defeat the enemy quickly. Only in this way could they win. If they dragged on for too long, they would definitely be the ones to fail.
As the envoy of the Germanic Empire, Minister Harhausen was very clear about the current situation of the Germanic Empire.
If the Yan Huang Kingdom could become an ally of the Germanic Empire and develop and become powerful. In that case, this would be very helpful to the Germanic Empire.
"General, is this your idea or your father's idea?”Minister Harhausen asked.
"Minister, this is what I mean.”Yuan Kewen replied.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Minister Harhausen's eyes, and he didn't even want to continue the discussion.
If it was Big Head Yuan's idea, then there was naturally a high possibility of success.
But if it was Yuan Kewen, then forget it.
After all, Yuan Kewen was only twenty-one, not even twenty-two. He was too young. In the Beiyang faction, they were also considered juniors. They did not have much say and could not influence the policies of the entire Beiyang government.
Yuan Kewen knew what Minister Harhausen was thinking when he saw his expression.
"Minister, although I'm only an infantry division commander, I don't have my own territory. However, I believe that everything will change very soon. Once my infantry division has formed a fighting force, I will start fighting for territory. If the Germanic Empire can support me, then my voice in the Beiyang faction will also increase.
My father was very close to the Sun Never Sets. Many people in the Beiyang faction were very close to the East Asian people.
Whether it was the people of Sun Never Sets or the Japanese, they were all enemies of the Germanic people.
Besides, my father is already old and his health is not good. Perhaps, I will soon have the opportunity to inherit Beiyang.
Once I control Beiyang. Then, this should be a good thing for the Germanic Empire!”
Yuan Kewen continued to explain his point of view.
In order to take advantage of the Germans, he had spent a lot of effort.
Minister Harhausen didn't say anything, as if he was considering Yuan Kewen's words.
Big Head Yuan had many children, but there were basically no outstanding heirs.
But now, it seemed that the second son of the Yuan family, Yuan Kewen, was very ambitious!
For the German Empire, this seemed to be worth investing in.
If Yuan Kewen could really inherit the Beiyang Group and control the entire Yanhuang Kingdom. Then, the German Empire might be able to get an ally in the Far East.
If a war broke out in the future, the Yan Huang Empire could attack the Russians from the Far East and pose a threat to the colonies of the Sun Never Sets in Asia. Then, this would undoubtedly greatly ease the pressure on the German Empire.
This would undoubtedly be of great help to the German Empire in winning the war in the future.
"General, how much loan do you need?”Minister Harhausen asked.
Yuan Kewen couldn't help but laugh. He knew that the German people were tempted.
"One billion German Empire Mark!" Yuan Kewen said.
"One billion Empire Mark? God! This is impossible!" Minister Harhausen shook his head repeatedly.
One had to know that in this era, one billion German Mark was an astronomical figure. This was equivalent to 200 million taels of silver, equivalent to 50 million pounds.
The German Empire's financial income last year was only 1.6 billion marks.
Yuan Kewen was really asking for an exorbitant price!
"Minister, I will use all these loans to purchase your country's machinery. I plan to build a steel factory, a machinery factory, a chemical factory, a non-metallic smelting factory, a large arsenal, and related factories. All the necessary equipment was imported from the Germanic Empire. All the technical personnel needed were also hired from the Germanic Empire.
This could also play a certain role in promoting the economy of the Germanic Empire.
Besides, it's not like we're not going to return it. Ten years later, I will repay this loan with interest. Moreover, he was using Mark to repay it!”
Yuan Kewen continued.
"General, do you have enough land to build so many factories? Do you have enough resources?" Minister Harhausen asked.
"Minister, my target is the northeast region. When my troops have formed a fighting force, I will find an opportunity to take down the northeast region. With the resources there, as well as the factories and mines that your country has helped me build. I believe that the industry will be able to develop very quickly.”Yuan Kewen said.
"The East Asian people have great ambitions for your northeast.”Minister Harhausen reminded him.
"I believe that after I go to the northeast, the East Asians can forget about attacking the northeast!”Yuan Kewen was very confident.
"Alright, Your Excellency General, I need to report to the country and let the country decide!”replied Minister Harhausen.
Yuan Kewen nodded, expressing his understanding.
Harrison was just a diplomat.
Such a major event naturally had to be decided by the upper echelons of the Germanic Empire.
