After spending a few days in France, Carlo's visit successfully concluded.
Despite some decline in its industrial development, France's economy remains strong. Under the precondition that Spain will not align with Germany, the French are willing to invest more in Spain.
After discussions between the two governments, Carlo secured a loan of 500 million francs from France.
Among this, 100 million francs come from the French Government, as a reward for Spain remaining neutral or leaning towards France. This loan is interest-free, and Spain only needs to repay it within five years without any additional conditions.
The remaining 400 million franc loan originates entirely from French private banks and consortia, but they are also low-interest loans.
The repayment period for these low-interest loans is longer, and the Spanish Government only needs to repay them within ten years.
