My Italian: Chapter 448 loan in italy

"Nani?"

Osawa Tehei, the Japanese ambassador to Italy, looked at Bacona in front of him, and asked Bacona in front of him with an uncertain face.

"Your Excellency Bacona, are you saying that your country is willing to provide loans to our country?"

Don't blame Ambassador Tehei Osawa for asking this question, because no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Italy to provide them with loans. You must know that the reputation of Italians for wanting money is not only known in European countries, but also in other places.

Now that the Italians are willing to provide them with loans, it feels a little weird no matter how you look at it.

Seeing the disbelieving expression on the Japanese ambassador's face, Bacona couldn't help thinking of his expression when he first heard the news, which was similar to the Japanese ambassador's.

"Your Excellency Tetsuhei Osawa, you heard me right. Our country is indeed willing to provide loans to your country, but the interest rate will be a little higher, and the annual interest rate is one cent. In addition, there are restrictions on the purchase of loans, which can only be used to purchase products from our country .”

Bacona’s answer surprised Tehei Osawa, because the loan interest rate was too high. Even if Japan borrowed money from the British Empire, the interest rate was only 7.5%, and the loan interest rate given by Italy was too high. Bar.

"Your Excellency Bacona, the loan interest rate offered by your country is too high, and our country will definitely not accept it."

"Ambassador Osawa, you should inform the government of your country first. In addition, the minimum loan for our country is 200 million lire, and the maximum term is ten years."

Seeing that the Italians were so persistent, Tehei Osawa could only send this request back to Tokyo.

Originally it was just a purchase of ships, but it turned out that there would be such a moth. Facing the news from Ambassador Tetsuhei Osawa, the Japanese government immediately summoned important ministers to discuss it.

"Gentlemen, this is the loan terms of the Italians, let's all take a look."

Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi, looking at the gathered ministers, distributed the Italian loan conditions to everyone present. This is the third time for Prime Minister Ito to form a cabinet to serve as prime minister. This time he is very anxious to serve as prime minister because the cabinet formation is very difficult. This time, the Lixian Zhengyouhui he created finally got the opportunity to form a cabinet, but the Lixian Zhengyouhui fell into disputes, which made him feel anxious.

After a while of flipping through, the Prime Minister Watanabe Kunitake immediately spoke. "Prime Minister, the interest on Italy's loans is too high. We should not borrow. According to my estimation, if you borrow Italy's minimum loan of 200 million lire, you will need to repay Italians 320 million lire in at least ten years. This is The interest rate is too high, it is not suitable for borrowing at all."

After Prime Minister Dazang opened his mouth, echoes were immediately drawn.

"That's right, the interest rate is too high. Everyone knows the financial situation of our country. I think it's better to forget the Italian money. It's not as good as the British."

After hearing such remarks, even the emperor sitting high on the throne showed an unsightly expression.

Seeing that the situation was about to fall into the voice of opposition, Ito Hirobumi slammed the table in front of him.

The loud noise startled the people present, and even Meiji couldn't maintain the emperor's majesty.

"Confused, you people only have this loan in your eyes, and you don't see the deep-seated things of this loan at all. Are you still an important minister of the empire, or a cabinet minister who can hold great power?"

In the face of Ito Hirobumi who was furious, whether it was Foreign Minister Aoki Shuzo, the Prime Minister Watanabe Kunitake, or Katsura Katsura who had served as the land minister for many years, or even others, were stunned by Ito Hirobumi's angry appearance. In their perception, this evergreen tree in the political arena has never been so angry.

"The prime minister may wish to speak out if he has something to say."

Seeing that this stalemate will not end well in the future, Haixiang Yamamoto Gonbei had no choice but to speak out to everyone.

For Yamamoto Gonbei's words, Ito Hirobumi gave a grateful look. None of these **** are worry-free, they are all waiting to make a fool of themselves, right?

Ito Hirobumi, who was originally only three points angry, now directly rose to eight points.

"The loan provided by the Italians this time is a loan with high interest on the surface, and it can only purchase Italian goods. It is not worth the loan. But everyone, don't you see that this is not just a loan. A loan? This is a guarantee from the Italians that they will not intervene in our struggle with Russia. I think that no one here wants Italy to be mixed in our struggle with Russia?"

In the face of Ito Hirobumi's words, who are the most important ministers present are stupid. Who wants to see an Italian suddenly appear next to the Russians when they are fighting the Russians with all their strength.

But why no one pointed it out, instead it is the problem of continuing to have too high interest rates. Some people really have ulterior motives and should be punished for their crimes.

Regardless of what other people are thinking now, but after Ito Hirobumi pointed out that the loan from the Italians was a goodwill, others can no longer pretend to be stupid.

"The Prime Minister is right. This loan is not just a simple loan, but a goodwill. I think that since the Italians say that the loan cannot be less than 200 million lire, then I can borrow as much as I want. Anyway, if the Italians don't want our country to go bankrupt, then it is impossible to favor the Russians, they can only help us."

"Asshole, borrow as much as you want, do you think you don't have to repay it, where does the collateral come from, and the interest of one cent per year, what do you use to repay it?"

Minister of Finance Watanabe Kunitake suddenly stood up and reprimanded these remarks. Although it sounds very tempting, these words are extremely harmful to finances. You can borrow as much money as you want, and don't you have to pay it back?

There is only so much government fiscal revenue every year, and the annual interest principal payment alone accounts for one-third of Japan's total fiscal revenue, which is a very high figure.

In fact, Japan’s finances are now more difficult than in history~www.mtlnovel.com~ The reason is simple. Japan failed to obtain 200 million taels of silver indemnity from the Qing Dynasty, and the war losses were even greater. Although it finally won North Korea with the help of the British, But Japan's finances are more difficult.

Of course, Japan's financial difficulties are not without solutions. In view of financial pressure, the Japanese government has mobilized millions of men and women to go abroad to work. So in the Far East, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and even the Americas and Europe, you can see these men and women working hard for Japan. Of course, the young girls in Japan are the easiest to see. These prostitutes who are encouraged by the government to dedicate themselves to the country, who can think of who will take her in when they are old and young.

"I think that since the Italians are willing to lend us money, it is better to ask for more. Three hundred million lire is a very suitable figure. I believe the Italians will give us a satisfactory result."

Having said this, Ito Hirobumi turned his head and said to the outsider. "Foreign Minister Aoki, I will leave it to you to negotiate with Italy."

"Don't dare, I will definitely not live up to the entrustment."

Aoki Shuzo hurriedly stood up and answered with a bow.
