And didn’t the crown prince just say that? Although everyone can’t talk about friendship, they can still talk about business now, right? Then let’s talk about business first! As for military issues, how do you say it? The Finns are very clear that the Russians will definitely not have time to touch Finland in a short period of time, so this matter can be discussed slowly in the future. However, no matter what, Ruprecht’s analysis of the future war between Finland and Russia just made the Finns very alert! The Russian threat is still hanging high above the Finns’ heads like a sword of Damochris, so they have to open one eye to guard against Russian attacks when they sleep! In fact, after Finland’s independence in history, although the two countries have signed a non-aggression treaty, the Finns are very clear about the Russian threat, so the war preparations have not stopped. And this plane is still the case!

"We need your country to provide some loans, and in return, we can open the domestic market." Starberg hesitated for a moment and still called economic aid a loan. After all, the Bavarian crown prince on the opposite side was already very disgusted with the so-called aid. As for opening up the domestic market, this is definitely not possible for a country of France at the level. After all, being too open will lead to shocks from domestic companies. However, for a country with a population of less than 4 million, an underdeveloped industry, and a poor agriculture, it doesn't matter if it is open. Otherwise, what else can be done? Thinking about establishing a complete industrial system by yourself? Thinking too much!

Of course, the so-called opening cannot be achieved in one step. How much opening and what conditions are, it depends on how much help Germany is willing to provide. Whether it is a business deal, you can always bargain!

"The Empire can provide interest-free loans worth 300 million marks. In return, I hope that the two countries can sign a fuel procurement contract, and we guarantee that the price of fuel provided to your country is not higher than 10% of the world's average crude oil price," said the Crown Prince.

"Is it settled with Mark? In addition, is your country planning to monopolize my country's fuel market?" Starberg asked. In fact, Germany had just finished the war. Although the currency value fell due to the help of Americans, it was still relatively weak after all. If Starberg could use the US dollar as the denomination standard. Of course, in fact, the gap is not very big. After all, everyone is a gold standard country now, and they will never issue money randomly in peace. After this period of turbulence, the value of Mark will return to normal levels, which is completely different from the era when everyone prints money after the collapse of the gold standard system.

As for Germany's fuel supply, what do you say? Does Finland itself use much oil in a year? After all, the population is not large. The price requirement does not exceed 10% of the world's average crude oil price. After all, the Germans provide interest-free loans. You always have to let the Germans earn back the interest rate difference, right? But this price is much more expensive than that of American crude oil, because the price of American crude oil is lower than the international average!

Otherwise, the Americans have great natural resources. Before the Second World War, the price of a gallon in the United States was only 17 cents! The price of coal-based oil in the Germans was more than ten times! In this plane, although Germany has the Baku oil field and the oil fields from the Mesopotamia Basin, it is really hard to say that it competes with the Americans in terms of price.

For Starberg, if possible, he naturally hopes to have more choices. If Finland asks the United States for a loan at this time, he will probably get some back. If Finland buys American oil, it may be cheaper. In other words, the demand put forward by Ruprecht just now may not have any economic advantages, but what about saying? This world cannot just look at money!

The economic conditions proposed by the Germans cannot be said to be pitfalls, at most, Finland earns less. After all, the United States is about to face a war, and there may be problems with oil supply. What? Maybe some people say that the US oil production of tens of millions of tons is not enough? Don’t understand, brother! In fact, in the Second World War, the United States also restricted the use of fuel by the people. For example, the Americans once stipulated that during the war, the speed of American civilian cars should not exceed 40 miles! Although at this time, the Americans would not care as much as in the Second World War, but also, the current US oil supply is not as perverted as in the Second World War. So, if you don’t say anything else, the fuel price will definitely rise!

"You think this is OK? We signed a coal supply contract to replace fuel supply." Starberg wanted to struggle for a while.

"Are you stupid?" Ruprecht even said nothing and put the second half of Starberg back with his eyes. Because Germany does not have to sign any treaty with Finland at all, Finland's coal can only be supplied by Germany! After all, the entire Europe, whether it is the Ruhr area of ​​Germany or the Donetsk coal mines under Austro-Hungary control, are very competitive! The British Welsh white coal quality is indeed good, but unfortunately, such excellent coal must be expensive. Generally, except for warships with strict requirements on coal use, there is actually not much difference between what coal burned! So unless Finland cannot get by with the money, the import of bulk coal mines can only be imported from Germany!

"Well, we hope the loan amount can be increased to 400 million, and I hope the term of the fuel supply contract between the two parties is 5 years. We can ensure that during this period, the amount of imported foreign fuel will not exceed 20% of the total." Starberg said.

"10 years! This is our requirement. The loan amount will be increased to 450 million yuan, and it will be cleared in three years. The loan term will be 15 years. If you agree, you can get the first batch of 100 million mark loans within 3 months!" Ruprecht said.

In just a few minutes, the two sides fought another round. Starberg thought clearly that from now on, five years later, the war between the United States and Japan in the Far East can end, and after the war is over, the price of crude oil in the United States will drop. At this time, Finland can naturally choose between the United States and Germany, two crude oil producers.

What about Ruprecht? Naturally, he also knew Starberg's idea, so he added 10 years to this period! This seems to have only asked Finland to buy fuel for a few more years, but in fact he has his own considerations. The reason is very simple. After 10 years, the Russian civil war will end, and it is estimated that the first five-year plan will be implemented! The crown prince understood the horror of the Soviet Union on the scale of industrial scale in later generations.
