Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

The leaders of the Gaul National Congress, François Faure and the second commander, Charles Floquet, all looked serious.

They subconsciously believed that Mikhail wanted the Gaul Navy to assist the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy and fight against the Eastern Empire Navy when the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Eastern Empire went to war in the future.

However, they do not want to be involved in this war from the bottom of their hearts.

Even though Gaul and the Tsarist Russian Empire were allies, they didn't want their troops to fight for the Tsarist Russian Empire.

Aren't the so-called allies just to be used?

However, they were also worried about rejecting the Russian Empire. When war breaks out with the Germanic Empire in the future, if the Tsarist Russian Empire also stands idly by [then how will they deal with it?

Both François Faure and Charles Floquet began to actively use their brains on "073", trying to find ways to deal with Mikhail.

"Your Majesty the Tsar, as you said, behind the Orientals is the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. It is precisely because of the strong support of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. Therefore, the Orientals will develop rapidly and have the courage to use force against you. But If we intervene, the people on whom the sun never sets will definitely intervene. Although our navy is strong, if compared with the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets, there is undoubtedly a very big gap.

Therefore, we cannot be directly involved in this war. Of course, we can do our best to help the Tsarist Empire and hold back the imperial navy where the sun never sets!"

François Faure said.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Tsar. Our main enemy is the Germanic Empire. In order to strengthen the defense against the Germanic people, "we have already tilted most of our military expenditure to the army."

"Jorflo also said.

Mikhail's complexion was a bit unsightly, as if he thought the Gauls were trying to shirk on purpose.

After a while, Mikhail made a new request.

"Since Gaul is unwilling to directly dispatch a fleet to help us in view of its own interests, can Gaul help us in other ways?" Mikhail asked

Both François Faure and Charles Floquet breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really afraid that this would affect the alliance between Gaul and the Tsarist Russian Empire. Once there is a crack in the alliance between the two sides, it will be a big trouble.

Fortunately, Mikhail still has to make new demands, so there is still room for redemption.

"Your Majesty the Tsar, if there is anything else that needs our help, we will do our best! After all, we are allies!" François Faure said with a smile on his face.

As long as Gaul is not allowed to help the Tsarist Russian Empire to fight, everything is easy to talk about.

"Your Excellency, the Empire is in the process of infrastructure construction and industrialization. However, the funding gap is very large. We hope to obtain a large low-interest loan from Gaul!" Mikhail said.

Gaul is also known as a usury country. Their investment in the financial field has exceeded their investment in industry. Of course, this also brought huge benefits to the Gaul Kingdom, and it also made the Gaul Kingdom happy.

Tsarist Russia's loan from Gaul will undoubtedly obtain a large amount of funds, which will bring the infrastructure construction and industrialization of the Tsarist Empire to a higher level.

Of course, the money has to be paid back. However, it is up to the Russian Empire to decide when it will return.

It is completely possible to wait until the Germans invade the northern part of Gaul and return to the city of Barley. At that time, the franc was like waste paper. The Tsarist Russian Empire can be regarded as the Gaul country for prostitutes.

At that time, no matter how dissatisfied the Gauls are. However, they wanted to gain the support of the Tsarist Empire, and even waited for the Tsarist Empire to save them, so naturally they could only pinch their noses and admit it.

Both François Faure and Charles Floquet believed that this was not a problem, and immediately stated that they could provide a low-interest loan to the Tsarist Empire.

After all, low-interest loans also have interest.

Gaul can also make a fortune from this loan, it's just a matter of earning more or less.

After bargaining between the two parties, an agreement was reached. Gaul will provide a low-interest loan of five billion francs to the Russian Empire. The maximum loan period is twenty years. Of course, the Russian Empire could repay the loan in advance. Moreover, the currency for repayment shall be agreed upon by both parties as francs.

The Gauls are very satisfied with this, which will further enhance the status of the franc in the international currency.

They never imagined that one day the franc would depreciate like waste paper..

Five billion francs, equivalent to 200 million pounds, 1.8 billion rubles. In this day and age, that's a lot of money.

After the Tsarist Russian Empire received this loan, all aspects of construction can be greatly improved.

Subsequently, Mikhail put forward a new request.

"In the future, once the Empire goes to war with the Eastern Empire, then the Imperial Navy will inevitably need to rush from Europe to the Far East to fight a decisive battle with the Eastern Imperial Navy. The distance will be thousands of miles away, spanning more than half of the world, and this will cause great damage to the Imperial Navy. , has seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Navy. If a decisive battle with the Orientals is under such conditions, it will undoubtedly be very difficult for the Empire to win. Therefore, the Empire hopes that the Gaul Kingdom can lease three ports to the Empire as a The empire's overseas military bases. The empire can guarantee that it will never expand to the colonies of Gaul. We are only planning to use these military bases to provide supplies, docks, and maintenance of warships for the imperial navy!" Mikhail continued Said.

François Faure and Charles Floquet frowned tightly again, it seemed that Mikhail's request made them very embarrassed.

Gaul also has vast colonies overseas. However, most of Gaul's colonies are relatively barren 1.5, either desert or rainforest, completely incomparable with the overseas colonies where the sun never sets.

But even so, the Gauls attach great importance to their overseas colonies, for fear that once they agree to lease the port to the Tsarist Russian Empire, they will be beaten by meat buns.

However, they have already refused to send the navy to assist the Russian Empire in dealing with the Orientals.

If you reject the Tsarist Russian Empire again on this issue, you don't need to think about it. This will definitely offend the Tsarist Russian Empire, and will cause a huge crack in the alliance between the Gaul Kingdom and the Tsarist Russian Empire. Even, it will affect the future war with the Germanic Empire. In that case, it would be the most unfavorable for Gaul.

After all, the future war with the Germanic Empire is directly related to the life and death of Gao Zhanguo. .
