Seeing Schneider's reaction, Yan Chujie couldn't help asking: "You also said in the previous meeting that Qian Tiandun talked to you about issuing war bonds. Didn't you take the opportunity to find out about his financial situation at that time? ?”

Schneider shrugged and said, "I only know that the military budget provided by your Ministry of National Defense to special operations divisions has always been sufficient, but it is not convenient for me to ask about his personal financial situation in person. Even if I do, he may not tell me."

This explanation is quite reasonable. Schneider and Qian Tiandun don't have much contact, let alone have many personal friendships. Naturally, it is inconvenient to inquire about these personal privacy.

Of course, with the resources Schneider has, if he wants to investigate someone's property with peace of mind, it's not difficult, it just depends on how interested he is.

"It shouldn't be a big problem to work hard for the amount of fundraising you ask for, but there are several prerequisites that must be met." Now that the military has made an offer, Schneider is ready to put forward his own conditions in due course.

Yan Chujie was not surprised by this. Since he intends to use the channels of the financial sector to raise military expenses, he must realize that this task is not a free service, and the military must pay certain conditions for it.

I heard Schneider say: "First, starting from the preparatory period for the issuance of war bonds, all expenses incurred during the period should be borne by the military. Haihan Bank, as the issuer of the bonds, will deduct them when they are delivered to the military. associated costs."

Yan Chujie asked: "What items are included in this fee, and what is the approximate proportion?"

Schneider explained: "Including the printing cost of the bond, the issuance fee, the advertising fee, the difference between the issue price and the bond face value, and other items. It is estimated to be around 8% to 10% of the total."

Yan Chujie frowned and said, "The distribution fee is so high!"

Schneider said: "This is only an estimated amount. Of course, I will try to reduce the cost as much as possible. After all, this is a war bond with a special nature. I don't want to make money from the military."

Yan Chujie snorted, feeling somewhat disapproving.Although he is not a financial professional, he can roughly imagine that the issuance fee mentioned by Schneider is just a deliberately high price to leave room for bargaining, and the actual operation should be lower than this amount.

Schneider continued: "Secondly, considering the huge amount of bonds, it may not be enough to rely solely on traditional issuance channels, and they will be sold separately to specific targets. The transaction conditions at that time may be different from those of the public sale. Don't ask too much at that time, and leave enough room for Haihan Bank to operate."

This time Yan Chujie didn't question it, and agreed decisively.The number of war bonds issued is huge, and it may be difficult to achieve the sales target by relying on ordinary people to subscribe. It is still necessary to have some big buyers to subscribe.

If you expect the interest groups behind these buyers to subscribe for bonds purely out of patriotism, or to look at the face of a certain high-ranking official, then you must be thinking too much.Without enough incentives, no one will easily invest in bonds with low returns and long return periods.

Yan Chujie is also well aware of this situation. If the military's supervision of the bond issuance process is too strict, leaving Schneider with no room for maneuver, then the matter will probably fail.It's better to turn a blind eye and close one eye, not to interfere with Haihan Bank's practice, as long as there is enough money to be transferred to the account of the Ministry of Defense.

Schneider then put forward the next condition: "The last item is not necessary, but I still hope that the Ministry of Defense can provide some positions, or opportunities for promotion. In this way, I will have more exchange conditions, which can be used in the process of selling bonds middle."

Yan Chujie said solemnly: "You should be clear that seniority is very important in the military. Even if you are one of your own, you have to start as a low-level officer. There will be no such thing as airborne."

Schneider said: "Rules are dead, but people are alive. Besides, even if someone is recommended to you, it must be an active military officer. You can check it yourself. If it suits you, you can use it. If it doesn't suit you, you can reject it."

Seeing that Yan Chujie was still a little hesitant, Schneider continued: "Old Yan, I mentioned this condition to you for work. If you think it's inappropriate, then pretend that I didn't say it. But let me tell you the truth, there were several times before. Every big family has mentioned to me that if there is a suitable opportunity, they are willing to make donations to help their children have a good future in the army."

In the previous meeting, Schneider had actually mentioned this matter, but the tacit consent of the participants was to appoint some people with meritorious fundraising as local administrative officials in the new colony in the future, but no one connected this matter with the military.

Yan Chujie was silent for a while before saying: "I will not make any promises to you about this condition. If such a situation happens, the Ministry of National Defense will consider a special case. But whether it can be done or not depends on the specific situation of the person involved. If you want to go to the sky in one step Anything, that's definitely not possible."

In fact, the Haihan army is not monolithic, and there are some special considerations for the children of the crossing people and senior generals to join the army.And the wealthy and powerful clans among the people will also have certain advantages in sending their children to develop in the army.

This kind of matter is handled by the people below, Yan Chujie can pretend not to see it, but if he is asked to do it or make some promises, then he will definitely not be happy, lest the people below follow suit in the future, making it even more difficult to control .

However, Schneider was already very satisfied with getting such an answer. He didn't have a clear candidate at the moment, but he just wanted to win some more conditions from Yan Chujie, so that it would be easier to operate in the future.

After the executive committee made a decision, various departments began to follow up and implement it separately.And from this stage on, the news that Haihan planned to launch a new round of military operations in the South China Sea also spread like wildfire, becoming a hot topic in the streets and alleys.

In September 1656, on the 21st anniversary of the defeat of the Spanish fleet and the attack on Victory Harbor, the Haihan Times published a special issue with the headline "Today, 21 Years Later, Have We Achieved Complete Victory?" "

In addition to reviewing the fierce battle that took place in the sea near Shengli Harbor 21 years ago, the article also explains to readers the history of Haihan's gradual expansion of its sphere of influence in the South China Sea since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Among them, there are not only the memory of the soldiers who died in the battle, but also the glorious achievements in various battles, and the various benefits obtained from these occupied areas after the war.

So does the edge of Haihan's territory stop here?The answer is of course no.The article believes that outside the existing national borders, there are still a large number of unowned lands to be developed, and at the same time, there are enemies secretly ready to move.For the development of the country, Haihan should make full use of its military power, continue to expand its territory in the direction of the South China Sea, and attack hostile forces.
