"Whether it's called redemption or purchase, I hope the Western District can offer a price. The Saar Empire would be very grateful." Zhu Erdian said.

"Since it is not a redemption, the Western Special Zone is not obliged to sell these two pieces of land to Saar Kingdom. According to the commander-in-chief, unless the descendants of the two royal families pay for the purchase, we do not intend to sell it." Gu Weijun's words remained the same. Take your time.

"You..." Zhu Erdian really got a little angry.The strategic locations of these two places are important, and if they cannot be controlled by Saar, the consequences will be very serious.If the controlling party becomes an enemy of Saar, the western continent of Saar and the colonies in Asia can be easily cut off.Now Gu Weijun is pretending to be stupid, just not letting go to sell the place, which Zhu Erdian can't tolerate.

Without waiting for Zhu Erdian to say anything, Gu Weijun said with a smile: "Buying and selling is based on the voluntary basis of both parties. This is called free trade. If one of the parties buys and sells by force, it is no different from robbers. Especially between allies, such What he did is very hurtful, and once the friendship between the two parties is endangered, unpredictable situations may arise. I wonder if Mr. Minister agrees with this?"

There was a hidden threat in Gu Weijun's words, which made Zhu Erdian wake up instantly.In the past, the Saar Empire dominated the world, and the era when the Hualan government was submissive has passed.After the Xite army defeated the Raksha army and the Japanese army in a row and gained a large amount of territory, they were no longer that flabby army.Now the Western Special Zone has a geographical advantage, but the main force of the Saar Kingdom is attracted to the Western Continent.Once the two sides fall out, Zhaini, who is extremely important to the Saar Kingdom, will immediately be in danger of falling, which is absolutely not allowed by the Saar Kingdom.

"Naturally, the Saar Empire will not forcefully buy and sell its allies, but just express its concern about this matter." Zhu Erdian's tone softened a lot: "The Saar Empire also has a lot of cooperation with the Western Special Zone, such as weapons, clothes, food, etc. Wait, there are still a lot of common interests between us." Zhu Erdian's words belonged to diplomatic lingo, he meant that the Sa'er Kingdom and the Western Special Zone had frequent trade exchanges, and the two parties should have a cooperative relationship.The interests of the Allies should be more important, and the Western Special Zone should no longer send supplies to the Allies.

"Of course, the allied countries bought a lot of Hualan weapons, which can be regarded as our contribution to the cause of the allied countries. However, our factory has expanded greatly in recent years, and the output has been rising in a straight line. The purchase volume of the allies is only equivalent to It’s only one-third of our production.” Gu Weijun was tit-for-tat, he said that the products of the Western Special Zone were sold to the country of Saar, not because of the favor of the country of Saar to Hualan, but because of Hualan’s support for the country of Saar, and he was grateful The heart should be Saar, not Hualan.What's more, the output of industrial products in the Western Special Zone is very high, and the materials purchased by the Allied Powers only account for one-third, and the rest will naturally be sold to the Allied Powers, so the other side also has a lot of benefits.

Seeing Zhu Erdian and Gu Weijun sitting together with smiles on their faces, talking about some seemingly trivial things, Duan Ruiquan was a little confused.As a pure soldier, Duan Ruiquan found it difficult to understand these diplomatic lingoes, so he could only sit on a chair with a smile and be a qualified listener.

"I have another thing to do this time, which is to increase the cooperation with the Western Special Zone. The products of the Western Special Zone are very useful, which will greatly support our business, so our country intends to increase the purchase volume by three times. Of course, because The war is very fierce, and Saar has encountered some financial difficulties, so I hope that the Western Special Zone can subscribe for some war bonds." Zhu Erdian said: "These war bonds are five-year bonds, and the profit is very high, about one-tenth. "

Zhu Erdian's words seemed plain, but in fact they were very vicious.His meaning is very obvious, Saar country wants to buy all the products of the Western Special Zone, so that they have no products to sell to the Teutonic country.In addition, the Saar country hopes to use the war bond to completely pull the Western Special Zone into its own chariot.

Because although the war bond is extremely profitable, it has a fatal risk.Once the Saar Kingdom is defeated, these public bonds will be equivalent to waste paper, so if the Western Special Zone subscribes to the government bonds, it must fully support the Saar Kingdom, otherwise it may lose everything.

Gu Weijun raised his eyebrows slightly, not that he was not mentally prepared for this, but rather surprised.Because before that, Sun Baoqi sent him a pre-conditional plan that Saar might propose, including the issue of war debts.Gu Weijun was very surprised that the SAR government understood the thinking of the Saar people so much. He had to admire those government personnel with a fanatical work attitude, it was really amazing.

"I don't know how many war bonds Mr. Minister intends to issue in the Western Special Zone?" Gu Weijun asked.

"About 5000 million Saar pounds." Zhu Erdian thought for a while and said, in fact, the government has no idea of ​​issuing public bonds in the Western Special Region, after all, in their eyes, Hualan is a very poor place.But since he wanted to tie the Western Special Zone to his chariot, there must be enough common interests, so Zhu Erdian had the courage to say more and let Gu Weijun bargain.

Chapter 692 Express Your Position

"No problem. On behalf of the Western Special Administrative Region Government, I would like to express my position that all these bonds will be subscribed by the Special Region Government, but we still have one condition." What surprised Zhu Erdian was that Gu Weijun agreed to such a large amount of public debt without asking for instructions. .

Gu Weijun's approach is tantamount to confessing himself, saying that the western special zone exported supplies to the Allies just to make money.Subscribing for the war bonds of Saar Kingdom now proves the Western Special Zone's strong support for the Allied Powers, and is optimistic that the Allied Powers will win this war.Zhu Erdian felt very happy to receive such a guarantee from the Western District. As for the conditions, it is easy to say.

"As long as the conditions are not too excessive, the Sa'er government is willing to agree." Zhu Erdian said with a smile.

Gu Weijun waved his hand: "It's not an excessive condition. We just hope that your country will issue Huayuan War Bonds. It can be issued at a discounted price of 5000 million Saar pounds. We will definitely subscribe for it as soon as possible."

"No problem." In order to pull the Western District into his chariot, Zhu Erdian gritted his teeth and agreed.According to his knowledge level, the reason why the other party requested the issuance of Huayuan bonds was at most that they were worried that the value of the Saar pound would fluctuate due to the excessive consumption of national power, and there were no other problems.

In this era, it is estimated that this method is the idea of ​​most upper elites, but Zhao Shouhong's intention does not lie in this.To be precise, the issuance of Huayuan public bonds was Shen Ruoxue's idea, and she was the first to put forward this proposal.As a new currency, Huayuan is not issued by the central government, so it is difficult to gain international recognition.

If Huayuan cannot be recognized by the international community, it will have a considerable impact on the foreign trade of the Western Special Zone after the war.Because other countries do not recognize Huayuan, a large amount of foreign exchange must be reserved for foreign trade in the Western Special Zone for circulation.This will seriously restrict the flow of funds in the Western Special Zone, and at the same time give other countries a bargaining chip to deal with the Western Special Zone.

If Saar is willing to issue public bonds in the form of Huayuan in the Western Special Zone, it means that the world overlord has accepted the currency status of Huayuan.In the future, the Huayuan will become the world's currency in a grandiose manner and be recognized by all countries. The benefits of this may not be what those political elites can imagine today.

After getting Gu Weijun's affirmative answer, Zhu Erdian left excitedly, and he wanted to go back and report the matter to the government.Although Zhu Erdian agreed to the request of the Western Special Zone, he knew that instead of blaming him, the Sar government would give him generous rewards.Because after the issuance of war bonds, the Western Special Zone, like the White Eagle Country, can only be tied to the chariot of the Allied Powers and fully support the Allied Powers.

After Zhu Erdian left, Duan Ruiquan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Wei Jun is really brave. He even dared to confront the minister of Saar Kingdom. Duan admires it very much. It's just that you are a little hasty. 5000 million Saar pounds is not a small amount." , Is the Western Special Zone really rich enough to subscribe? I think even Shou Hong needs to weigh it.”

"It's only 5000 million Saar pounds, which is just a small amount. In fact, the general has given me the bottom line before. As long as the public debt issued by the Saar country does not exceed 5000 million Saar pounds, I have the right to accept it. Obviously Saar Er people are too conservative, they only issued [-] million Saar pounds in public bonds." Gu Weijun shrugged his shoulders.

"5000 million? A small amount? 4000 million?" Duan Ruiquan was speechless. Now that the war is going on, domestic industry and commerce are booming, and even the national tax revenue has improved a lot.Even so, the annual fiscal revenue of the Northern Territory government does not exceed 400 million Chinese yuan, which is equivalent to [-] million Saar pounds.

Listening to Gu Weijun's words, Duan Ruiquan only felt that there was something wrong with his ears.If it is as easy as Gu Weijun said for the Western Special Zone to subscribe for these bonds, the economic gap between the two sides will be too great.

"Come here this time, I just have something to ask Premier Duan for instructions, so please give me your instructions." While speaking, Gu Weijun took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Duan Ruiquan's desk.

Duan Ruiquan picked it up and saw that it was an application for the establishment of a province.He opened the first page and looked down slowly. The more Duan Ruiquan looked, the more frightened he became. At the end, he couldn't help exclaiming: "Western Special Zone will build Baikal, Northern Lia, Upper Ural, Lower Ural, and Central China. The seven provinces of Hualan, Caspian Sea, and Red Sea? The land area of ​​Hualan has increased to about 800 million square kilometers?"

Duan Ruiquan has been completely petrified. Although the land acquired by the Western Special Zone during the war is desolate and barren, or extremely underdeveloped and poor areas with no industrial foundation, such a large land is amazing enough.

"Is there any problem?" Gu Weijun looked at Duan Ruiquan with playful eyes, his stupid and dazed look made people want to laugh.Only at this time did Gu Weijun feel the true meaning of diplomacy. Diplomats can only call it diplomacy if they rely on strong economic and military power behind it.As the saying goes in the field of diplomacy: "What the soldiers can't get on the battlefield, never expect to get it from the negotiating table."

For this application, Duan Ruiquan naturally would not make it difficult.Now the Northern Territory Government and the Western Special Zone are no longer in the same class. People respect the central government's willingness to take this form, and Duan Ruiquan will not be so stupid as to oppose it.Now that Duan Ruiquan didn't want to fight against the Western Special Zone in the future, he could only secretly pray that Zhao Shouhong was only focused on expanding abroad and had no domestic ambitions.In this way, after he unifies the eastern region, he can still have a chance to develop.

Where is Zhao Shouhong, who shocked Duan Ruiquan?Of course he was in the Red Sea Province that he had just acquired.The territory of the Red Sea Province completely inherited the original Persian Empire, covering about 160 million square kilometers. It is connected to the Caspian Province in the north, the Zhaini Colony in the east, the Basra Province of the Ottoman Empire in the west, and the long coastline of the Red Sea in the south. .

In this era, the Red Sea has not yet been developed, and even the powers of the Western Continent have not realized its importance, but it will be a big deal in later generations.When the oil in the Middle East is fully developed, the Red Sea will become the lifeline of oil transportation, and the coast of the Red Sea Province will become the key to controlling this world energy channel.So Zhao Shouhong is willing to make arrangements in advance, occupy these key points first, and prepare for the future.

Standing on the balcony of a mansion in Tehran, Zhao Shouhong looked at the low-rise buildings full of earthy yellow and the mosque with the round roof and said: "This is an area with mixed religions and ethnic groups. Such a place is not good. Good management."

Chapter 693 Red Sea Autonomous Region

Ma Fuxiang, who was standing behind Zhao Shouhong, said with a smile: "With my Qingyuan Cavalry Division, I can suppress those mobs. Now that the Persian royal family is gone, they will have no spiritual leader, so there will be no problems."

Zhao Shouhong shook his head: "If you are in other places, your idea is very correct, but it doesn't apply here. Persianism is an aggressive religion, mainly because the area it formed has been the battle of the Four Wars since ancient times. Land, either they invade others or they are invaded by others. Therefore, Persian religion is different from other religions. Once the middle and senior imams of the religion issue a call for jihad, the cohesion will not be lower than that of the royal family."

"Of course I know that." Ma Fuxiang said with a chuckle, "Did the general forget that I am from the Yi nationality? The Yi nationality also believes in Persian religion, but our belief belongs to the relatively peaceful Shiite sect."

"I haven't forgotten, that's why I asked you to stay here." Zhao Shouhong patted Ma Fuxiang's shoulder with his hand, and pointed to the yellow sand-covered sky with the other hand and said, "On this vast land , with a population of 3000 million, who belong to Persians, Azerbaijanis, Kurds, Arabs, Bakhtiari, Luhr, Baluchi, Turkmans, etc. As for religion, there is Zoroastrianism , Catholicism, and of course Persianism has the largest number of people.”

"Yes, both ethnicity and religion here are very complicated." Ma Fuxiang nodded and said, "But you don't need to worry, at least the Persian region is dominated by Shiites, and these people seldom make trouble."

"We can't just focus on Persia." Zhao Shouhong said: "The Central Continent has a vast land, and there are many Sunnis among the Persians there. If we can't find the best way to rule, How can we control this land in the future."

"The commander-in-chief means..." Ma Fuxiang's eyes lit up when he heard it. As a soldier, what he hopes most is that his leader has ambitions.As long as the leader has ambitions, soldiers will have the opportunity to expand the territory of the country. This is what he hopes most.

"Our goal is to expand the living space of the Hualan nation. As long as it is considered beneficial to our nation, we must try our best to control it." Zhao Shouhong looked at Ma Fuxiang and smiled: "So I hope you can help me."

"I'll definitely do it well. I don't know what the commander-in-chief thinks we should do?" Ma Fuxiang asked.

Zhao Shouhong pointed to the Persians outside and said, "I plan to turn the Red Sea Province into a settlement of various ethnic groups in the Middle East. The living conditions here are good, and the desertification area is very small. It is no problem to support more than [-] million people."

"If the population density is too high, it will be even more difficult to deal with any problems." Ma Fuxiang frowned.

"So I plan to build the Red Sea Province into a Red Sea Autonomous Region. There is no need for the same political system as in China. It only needs to establish a political and religious regime based on Persian teachings." Zhao Shouhong pointed to Ma Fuxiang and said: "And the political and religious integration The one ruler is you."

"Me?" Ma Fuxiang quickly waved his hand: "General Commander, you praise me too much, how can I do a good job?"

"Does the Persian teaching of your Yi people tend to be Shiite?" Zhao Shouhong asked rhetorically.

"Of course." Ma Fuxiang nodded.

"That's it." Zhao Shouhong clapped his hands and said, "The Qingyuan Cavalry Division has since been cancelled, and the Xiongnu cavalry in the cavalry division will be exchanged with the Hun cavalry in the inner cavalry division. You will take these cavalry and Ma Hongkui to form the Red Sea Provincial Government. I will send at least 50 Iraqi immigrants from China to help you stabilize the situation here."

"The commander-in-chief means..." Ma Fuxiang asked again.

Zhao Shouhong said: "Just like when the Jin soldiers entered the pass, you and the entire Yi people will become the managers of the Arabs and Persians in the future. I will gradually transfer the entire Yi people here, and maybe in the future Bring over the Uyghurs who also believe in Persian religion. You have to work together to rule these middle mainlanders."

"Great, I will manage this place well." At this moment, Ma Fuxiang's excitement was beyond words, and he didn't know how to thank Zhao Shouhong for his trust.In the future, the Yi people and Uighurs will gradually move here, they will live a good life, and the ethnic and religious conflicts between Yihua and Uyghurs will no longer exist.

"This matter must be handled immediately, and there must be no delay. You should go back to China as soon as possible, and send out the cavalry to seek advice from imams from all over the Yi nationality. Explain the preferential conditions, and I believe they will agree. "The smile on Zhao Shouhong's face is getting bigger and bigger. As long as the Red Sea Province is established before the end of the war, the various ethnic groups in the central mainland, the Yi and Uighurs will be twisted together with the help of religion.

As long as the Western Special Administrative Region gives them enough favorable conditions, these people will turn to the Special Administrative Region. After the war, the Sargonians will put forward any excessive conditions, and they will offend all the peoples of the Central Mainland.At that time, there is no need to do it yourself, the ancestors of these future generations of terrorists will let the Saar people taste what it means to want to live and die.

Ma Fuxiang and Ma Hongkui ran downstairs quickly. They knew that time was running out and they couldn't delay for a moment. The work had to start immediately.Seeing the two riding on their horses and leading the guards around the street corner, Lin Juemin, the personal assistant who had been standing behind without speaking, turned around and said, "Can you do this?"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Shouhong asked.
