Chapter 326: , Decorated with gold shield and gilded shield

President Hidalgo said in amazement: "Let’s borrow money from him, and the money will be transferred in our hands and we will go back immediately. Then they took the interest of 150,000 in vain, and then we borrowed it from other places. We have to give them 30% of the money, and then we have to pay back the 30% of the money and interest? Hey, we are too..."
　　 "Your Excellency, you are mistaken. When I said that the three to seven is divided, it means that they take 70%, and we take 30%!" The wise man quickly corrected.
　　 "Ah?!" President Hidalgo was surprised, "They didn't do anything, so why are they taking so much!" あ七^八中文ヤ~⑧~1~ωωω.7\\8zw.còм
"Because the President, with all due respect, no government in the world has recognized your government. So no one will lend you money, if your government is now a government recognized by the whole world, and there is no Faced with the danger of national subjugation, your government can easily borrow money at such an interest rate. But now, if you do not cooperate with them, you cannot borrow money.
　　 Think about it, once you fail, everything that the Mexicans have is gone, and they become Spanish again. What a loss is this? Once you succeed, it is true that your country will bear a lot of debt, but if you don't, your country itself may not be able to continue to exist. It's like a person who waits for a serious illness, and there is only one medicine that can be treated. If he doesn't take it, he will die; but after taking this medicine, his skin will become as black as a black person. So does he eat? It's better to become black than to become a corpse.
　　 We can calculate that we are still about five million francs short, enough to buy weapons, train soldiers, and defeat the Spanish Expeditionary Army. In this way, we actually only need to borrow 17 million francs. The annual interest is only 2.55 million francs. In this way, even if it is paid off in ten years, the interest rate for ten years is only about 8.5 times. Now you go directly to those banks and see if they are willing to lend money to your government at this interest rate? Moreover, those Spaniards robbed of much more wealth from Mexico every year. So, my president, what else do you have to hesitate? "
　　 However, President Hidalgo is still a bit hesitant. He said that he still needs to think more about this issue.
But soon Hidalgo could no longer hesitate, because he obtained reliable information. The Spanish expeditionary force was ready to set off. There were as many as 30,000 in number, and they were all equipped with the latest weapons, namely rifled guns and rifled guns. And revolver and small melon.
　　President Hidalgo knows that it is impossible for the current Mexican army to fight such an expeditionary army. Therefore, he must immediately borrow money to expand the army to deal with the Spaniards who come to plough the fields.
Moreover, according to the size of the Spanish Expeditionary Force, borrowing only 5 million seems to be not enough. Therefore, President Hidalgo decided not to do it, and he did not stop. He simply borrowed 35 million francs in one breath. Kill the Spaniards with money. As for the future, if there is no present, where is the future?
　　 Soon, the Louisiana Development Bank announced that it had reached a loan agreement with the Republic of Mexico, and the Louisiana Development Bank would provide the Republic of Mexico with a loan of 2 million francs.
　　Almost everyone knows the relationship between the Louisiana Development Bank and the military-industrial complex, and they naturally know the relationship between the military-industrial complex and the French government. Therefore, this move of the Louisiana Development Bank is naturally seen by many people as an unclear statement by France. If the French really stand on the side of the Mexicans, few people will believe that the Spanish can still keep Mexico.
　　 So the number of banks willing to provide loans to the Hidalgo government suddenly increased. The government of the Republic of Mexico successfully obtained 35 million francs of loans from various banks, and then these loans were divided into three to seven in accordance with the agreement reached by the two parties before, and a large part of them quickly flowed into Luisian. In fact, the other half of the treasury of the National Development Bank was basically sent to the treasury of the Louisiana Development Bank and turned into various materials and sent to the "Mexico Government".
　　 With supplies in hand, President Hidalgo immediately gained confidence, and he began to reorganize the army with financial strength. In addition, after learning from the painful experience of the last victory, President Hidalgo also invited many French instructors from Louisiana to his army.
　　 More than a month later, the Spanish fleet arrived in Cuba. The soldiers went ashore to rest in Havana to prepare for the upcoming battle, and the reorganized "Mexican Government Army" seized the last time and strengthened training to deal with the immediate war.

　　 The Spanish expeditionary army rested in Cuba for a week, then boarded the ship again, crossed the Gulf of Mexico, and landed in Veracruz.
　　 In Veracruz, the expeditionary force was warmly welcomed by Spanish Governor Gomez in Mexico and other patriots who were truly loyal to Spain (most of them were from the Peninsula). General Franco, the commander of the Expeditionary Force, told everyone at the reception that he and his "loyal soldiers" would surely restore order in Mexico and completely eliminate the chaos.
　　 The Expeditionary Force stayed in Veracruz for another week to prepare various supplies and plan to attack Mexico City. A week later, the 30,000 expeditionary army left Veracruz and began to move in the direction of Mexico City. General Franco felt that he relied on his well-trained soldiers (although the training level of Spanish soldiers is a younger brother in Europe, but if compared with those militias in North America~EbookFREE.me~General Franco I feel that his soldiers can definitely be considered well-trained), as well as advanced weapons, and his learning of the most advanced French army tactics over the years, he should be able to defeat these mobs more easily.
　　 However, when he started to approach Mexico City with the army and saw the rebels, his confidence received a slap in the face.
"Damn! This is the position of the rebels? This...this TMD is the rebel?" General Franco's eyes widened angrily, "Trenches, barbed wire, minefields... this... where did they learn it from? Joseph defensive skills? Damn Frenchman, this must be a Frenchman's conspiracy!"
As soon as he saw the "Joseph Defense", General Franco felt his scalp numb. Although not long ago, the French army just showed how to break through Joseph's defense within a period of time, but that was the French army, Franco. The expeditionary army under his command has no such ability.
　　 However, General Franco thought that the "Joseph Defense" had a disadvantage, that it was quite expensive. Therefore, in the military circles of European countries, this kind of defense has another nickname called "Golden Shield". Those countries that are slightly poorer have produced low-profile and reduced versions of the "Joseph Defense" are often jokingly called "gilded shields" or even "brass shields."
"Maybe this one in front of you is a'gold-plated shield' or even a'brass shield'. It doesn't look like it, it must be a'golden shield'. It will take a dozen to know how well this thing is. Yes. However, even the'Gold Plated Shield' and the'Brass Shield' are not necessarily easy to fight..." General Franco thought.
