Chapter 1038 Conditions

"We don't intend to hide some of the words we have, indeed! The Germans came to us to negotiate, but I can also tell you clearly that our Supreme Council of the United Government has not responded to this for the time being."

Yan Zhengqing, who was in charge of negotiating with Stalin and others, smiled and said to Stalin and others in front of him: "We have declared war with Japan, so Germany, as an allies of Japan, has a very small chance of alliance with us..."

But it was not entirely impossible. Churchill smiled bitterly in his heart and thought, if not for this, why should we go this trip?! The predecessor of the coalition government, the three eastern provinces, had some entangled ambiguous relationships with Germany.

At the same time, the wife of the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces is the princess of the German royal family. It is a lie to say that this is not a concern. Didn’t you see the coalition government even in a declaration of war, and did not clearly mention Germany and Italy?!

This is actually a manifestation of some ambiguous situations between them. In fact, Germany's declaration of war does not mention any word China.

What they explicitly mentioned was only the allies such as Britain and the United States. What was placed on the surface was only the United Kingdom and the United States. Even the exiled Charles de Gaulle was directly ignored.

"We absolutely believe in the coalition government about this." This is not the first time Hull has dealt with Yan Zhengqing. In fact, they have dealt a lot during the governments of the three eastern provinces.

"We are here this time to strengthen cooperation among our allies." Hulton paused and smiled: "Now that Britain has lost most of its industrial machinery and manpower in Canada, they urgently need manpower and machinery to help them rebuild their industrial production chain in Canada..."

Yan Zhengqing smiled and said nothing. He knew that this was the benefit given by the UK. The US must have acquiesced, otherwise these assets would definitely make domestic capital in the United States move.

And Canada is the backyard of the United States in some ways. Without their permission, who can develop on that land?!

"We also want to assist the UK in development. But now we have limited funds and cannot afford these investments~" Yan Zhengqing spread his hands and said.

Hull laughed and said, "Your Prime Minister doesn't have to worry about this. Congress has passed the proposal. The United States will provide a war loan to help allies build industrial chains."

"Of course, these loans will be exchanged for machinery and sent to your designated area..." Hull smiled and said to Yan Zhengqing: "The United States is now fully operational, but since it is arming our troops, it is not very manpower."

"In this regard, the coalition government has a huge advantage. China has just ended its local war, and your local people have hundreds of millions of people. I believe that enough people can be sent to Canada to help Britain build their industrial chain..."

"We in the Soviet Union also intend to strengthen cooperation with the coalition government. In Siberia, there are some resources that we cannot develop. But in the face of war, we urgently need to develop these resources, so we plan to work with the coalition government to mine and smel these iron ore, copper ore, etc.."

Stalin then smiled and said his conditions, which was true. Now the Soviet Union has just started war and has been annihilated hundreds of thousands of people. In order to cope with the battlefield, the majority of the Soviets have been armed and entered the army.

If the manpower is transferred away, the consequence is the decline in production capacity. However, the Soviet Union could not afford the decline in production capacity. Moreover, the Soviet Union's heavy industrial bases were basically in the first generation of Kiev.

Although the Soviet Union moved some of its machinery inwards, many factories still did not fully move in. This led to the fact that once those areas fell into the hands of the Germans, the Soviet Union would be in trouble.

"Hahaha... our conditions are still the same. We will give allies loans to help them build their own industrial chains." Hull smiled and said, "So, you don't have to worry about funds at all. As for management and production, you need to coordinate with each other."

Yan Zhengqing still looked like a smiling face, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart!

This is really a big deal. I took out resources and handed them over to China for development. There is no need to worry about funds or machinery. Basically, China can reap those resources by just using manpower.

"We hope that the mining period is ten years, and we each account for 50% of the annual output. As for the shares, we can make an assessment after the ten-year period is over. Or continue to cooperate. Or the resource owners will reclaim the mining rights through repurchase..."

Yan Zhengqing still nodded with a smile. The benefits of this agreement are generous. In addition to human resources, the coalition government almost made money in Canada, and the Soviet Union obtained a large amount of mineral resources.

At the same time, these resources can be mined for ten years, and investment can be recovered based on the assessment ten years later. Basically, this is a business that is stable and profitable.

Of course, this is also beneficial to the Soviet Union and the UK. Their population is indeed much smaller than that of China, which leads to a headache for this kind of mining task that requires a lot of manpower to operate.

It is impossible to mine it. But if the mining is done, the manpower and material resources are invested so much. Even if the United States provides machinery, mining and smelting still has to be done by itself.

The UK has been stuck on this issue for a long time, and Canada is not crowded. Most of the British troops have lost their homeland, and recruiting troops can only be completed from Canada.

The sparse population leads to a decline in production capacity in other industrial chains once soldiers are recruited. In this regard, the Soviet Union was even worse than the United Kingdom.

During the Civil War, they had caused great damage to the entire Soviet Union. Millions of people died in the Civil War, and a bunch of soldiers who had lost their jobs and combat capabilities were left behind.

These people cannot ignore them, but in some ways they are also the biggest burden on the Soviets. Now the war is on, and the enemy this time is even more terrifying than the last time.

Just as the war started, the Soviet army had already lost hundreds of thousands of troops. If they continued to fight, no one dared to say how much the loss would be.

To replenish the troops, we can only continuously draw young and strong people. This makes the just-in-the-breaking Soviet industry worsen. Of course, if they can cooperate with the coalition government, they will be able to obtain enough manpower to develop minerals, smelter and even produce weapons.

"We are also preparing to lend to China and provide machinery to expand your production capacity so that you can produce more weapons to support the Soviet battlefield." Hull smiled and said, "These loans are interest-free loans, and you can also use physical objects such as steel ingots, iron ore, copper ore, etc. to offset them."

By the way, Hull offered a price. At the same time, the officials around him also gave the payment prices of various minerals and materials. They said that these prices were not fixed, but would be readjusted as the market fluctuates.

At this time, Stalin and Churchill also reported the proven reserves, outputs and locations of several iron ores he planned to develop with the coalition government. Yan Zhengqing, the old fox, calculated that if the coalition government took over these minerals.

Even if you only pay the debt with minerals, you can pay off the loan from the United States in at most two and a half years. In other words, the remaining seven and a half years are net income from the coalition government.

Moreover, the repayment period given by the United States is twenty years, and if the war is not over, then you can apply for an extension. In other words, the loan is basically no different from that of free gifts.

Moreover, what Yan Zhengqing values ​​most is the workers who train in mines and factories. After they return to China, they can return to their old business and continue to work in factories.

These are all valuable talents! Allies give money, machines and resources, and can also help you train skilled workers. The benefits this gives are indeed very touching.

"This is indeed a good thing for mutual benefit, but these have to be discussed by the Supreme Committee of our coalition government." Yan Zhengqing put away the pen, and he recorded all the conditions proposed by Churchill and others just now in his notebook.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, which Yan Zhengqing has always believed in. Whenever he encounters things he thinks he should record, he will record them in his laptop.

After returning home in the evening, he reorganized and formed a set of his own opinions or solutions to be marked and archived. Therefore, his study room is always the largest area in his home, where countless books are placed and every bit of his records in his political and study tours over the years.

The ones that benefited the tigers were the notebooks of Yan Zhengqing. Even the tigers slaughtered Yan Zhengqing's study room as a key protection location, and there were special protections for mountain dogs around the study to prevent any possible accidental damage to the files inside.

"Okay, we will wait for your news." Churchill nodded with a smile and said, "By the way, when will Chairman Lin Sen and Commander-in-Chief Tu have time?! Please convey it to them, I hope to be able to host a banquet for them once."

Churchill planned to use his "banquet diplomacy" strategy, which was also the strategy he was best at. Through this strategy, he became a friend of Stalin and Roosevelt.

At the same time, he also did many things that could not be done at the negotiating table at the banquet. This time Churchill was full of confidence and felt that he could achieve diplomatic results in the banquet again.

"Prime Minister, I will convey this matter to the Commander-in-Chief and Chairman Lin. I believe they are happy to have a drink with you." Yan Zhengqing said with a smile: "Of course, I will notify you of the specific time."

The matter is almost done when it comes to this matter. The next specific cooperation method will be negotiated by the people below. As the main person in charge of the negotiation, they only need to listen to the report.
