C270 Mill Negotiation

Pierre could only treat Xiao Letian's recruitment as a joke. Although the conditions for the negotiations in the mill were simple, it was also the first time that an Eastern politician was negotiating with an official in French territory. It was definitely of great historical importance.

"Mr. Pierre, your analysis is very accurate. I am shocked by your talent. "I am the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the creator of the Qing Empire's Western Studies, and one of the people in charge of the industrialization of the Qing Empire, Xiao Letian …"

Pierre had never heard of Xiao Letian before. Actually, in the whole of Europe, not many people had heard of him, the east was too far away, the telegraph line did not cover the whole world right now, and the news was still spread by sea. At that time, the European people was also very isolated.

Seeing the blank look in Pierre's eyes, Xiao Letian knew that Pierre did not understand him at all and could only nod in acknowledgement to Dragon Lord. Only then did Dragon Lord take off the leather postman bag he was carrying.

When the whole piece of the jade carving of the Ryukyu's Prime Minister Seal was taken out, the whole mill was covered in a layer of emerald light, Pierre's eyes almost fell out.

"Oh God! Is this a big chunk of green glass? "

"F * ck!" Xiao Letian nearly choked on his anger, "Look carefully, there is such a treasure in this glass? Was there such a warm feeling in his hands? "This is jade, a top-grade jade from the old pit, a top-grade jade that the royal family of Myanmar once owned …"

Jade was a gem that was still unfamiliar to Europeans nowadays. In fact, even in Asia, it was only in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties that people began to pay attention to it. It was not until the middle of the Qing dynasty that people began to admire it in the mainstream society, and it was normal for Pierre to have never seen such a gem.

Although Pierre had never seen jade before, he was still an knowledgeable person. An outstanding intelligence officer must have a good eye for value, because under Xiao Letian's simple introduction, he finally understood the value of this gem, and at the same time, believed in Xiao Letian's identity.

The Prime Minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, should be the number one official under the King. In Europe, she should be considered a high official that was at the Prime Minister level, and should be able to sign important agreements on behalf of the country. Pierre could only sigh in her heart. Thankfully, he was quick to call off the chase, or else a diplomatic disaster would have happened.

"Prime Minister, please forgive our previous rudeness, but as a French official, I would also like to take the liberty to remind you that as the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, it is inappropriate for you to choose this method of smuggling into Europe … Of course, I have no right to blame you. From now on, I hope that you can go to Paris with me.

When Xiao Letian heard the words "King of France", his eyebrows twitched slightly. He thought to himself, "I am not an idiot, other people do not know about Napoleon III, how could I, a transcender, not know about him?"

Louis. Napoleon. Bonaparte, the nephew of Napoleon the First, was a true ambitious man who, in the name of his uncle, began to confuse the French peasants before he came to power. He even wrote a book called "On the Eradication of Poverty," which fooled the peasants into supporting him.

After that, he became the vanguard of suppression in the French Revolution. After killing countless people in the February Revolution, he became the President of the Republic of France, hugged the Pope and sent troops to Rome to assist him in destroying the Roman Republic.

It was also with the support of the Pope that Napoleon III founded the Second Empire of the France in 1852.

This Napoleon III was definitely a war maniac and ambitious person. During his 18 years of reign, France had never stopped. They joined forces to declare war on Russia, fought a battle on the Crimean War, and then declared war on the Second Opium War with Britain. They even declared war on the Austria and travelled to Italy.

This was not the end. In 1862 he sent his army to explore Mexico, until the arrogant Napoleon III declared war on Prussia in 1870. The Franco-Prussian War ended his political career, and 18 years of rule brought the Prussian to an end. Napoleon III, who was released after the defeat, died in England.

Xiao Letian kept sneering in his heart, f * ck, you want me to see this madman? I am not stupid, this is the period when Napoleon's power is at its peak, the arrogant him might even dare to imprison Xiao Letian in Paris.

shook his head when he thought of this, "No no no, Mister Pierre, you are wrong, we chose to sneak into Europe, but were also forced by the rudeness of the French army. I think you should know that when we entered the port from the Sinai Peninsula, we were targeted by the French navy, army and intelligence agencies … "

"I would understand if it was a simple manoeuvre, but the French army indiscriminately fired their cannons at me. This is a serious violation of diplomatic principles, who gave you the authority to shoot at me? When did the Ryukyu Kingdom start fighting with France? "

Hearing this, Pierre hurriedly explained, "This is a misunderstanding, an absolute misunderstanding. The frigate seahorse is just trying to inspect temporarily and they do not know your identity. If they knew that you are a statesman from the East, they would definitely give you the courtesy you deserve … "As far as I know, it was your merchant ship that attempted to escape, thus forcing the warship to open fire …"

"Hahaha …" There is no sincerity in speaking thus, Mr. Pierre. Now that we are both speaking the same words, none of us has any evidence, is there? "That's why I insist on my judgment. Unless you bring out any evidence, as long as you can prove that Hippopotamus gave me good intentions, I will take back what you've said …"

Pierre frowned at once, thinking that this was really an old politician who put unreasonable things on his head. Where can I find evidence for you? Aren't you just being shameless!

"Prime Minister, why don't we stop at the right and wrong in the past? I'm not here to fight you. I just want to invite you to Paris to meet with our government. Please remember, I'm not accusing you of sinking the battleship Hippopotamus. "

"No, no, dear Major, until the Government of France has made her attitude towards me clear, I will absolutely not go to Paris with you. Please remember, I am the Prime Minister of a Kingdom, although weak, but I am equal to France in international law. I will absolutely not accept any disrespectful actions from France …"

Pierre finally understood that Xiao Letian did not want to go to Paris no matter what. But he still couldn't use forced methods, so he could only smile apologetically.

Without the consent of the His Majesty the King, we cannot allow our esteemed guests to cross the border. To tell you the truth, there are close to a thousand cavalrymen advancing towards the east in the north. I believe it won't be long before the encirclement is completed, you won't be able to leave this place.

"Alright, Prime Minister, you'd better make it clear. How exactly are you going to agree to go to Paris?"

Xiao Letian thought for a while. "I heard that the southeastern direction of this place is the famous city Besanthus, and that the rest of us will be resting there, you can send someone to Paris to deliver the letter, I need a letter personally written by His Majesty, I need an official invitation, and that is my condition. Otherwise, you can choose to bring my corpse to Paris …"

Xiao Letian's tone of voice was abnormally forceful, and did not allow Pierre to refute him at all. He looked at Xiao Letian, who had a resolute gaze, and opened his mouth twice, wanting to say something.

"Okay, I will send some people back to Paris, but we will be responsible for all the security work you do in Besanthus. You are the first politician to visit Europe, we have to ensure your safety …"

After obtaining Xiao Letian's consent, Pierre turned around and left the mill to arrange some work for the guards. However, before he left, he gave Xiao Letian a good look. Before he left, he glanced at Ping Er and Fang Guan with his peach blossom eyes, of course, Hu Niu was an exception.

As soon as Pierre left, Hu Niu jumped up. "This shameless bastard, you pervert … "I, I, I, I … I'll shoot him …"

When Xiao Letian heard this, he hurriedly advised her "Stop messing around, this is what the French are like, men and women are like this. In their values, love is just like the necessities of life, like bread and water. "They are very daring in their love affairs. No one would joke about showing love in public, and no one would yell and kill them. They think that is a matter of course …"

"Pah pah pah …" Master is spouting nonsense again, men and women flirting in public are shameless! " This time, even Ping Er and Fang Guan could not bear to listen anymore, and kept spitting at him.

Xiao Letian laughed bitterly, he was unable to explain the meaning of "free love" to the girls. The values of the French and the Chinese were on completely different worlds, he could not communicate at all.

Ten minutes after Pierre left, the French soldiers started to gather at the mill. However, this time, the rifles were carried on their backs, they showed their full good will.

"Respected Prime Minister, Madam, and your followers, please come on board … As for my old rival, Mr. Paul, please come with us. Your mission has failed, I will treat you to coffee … "

A few Rangers s gave their horses to Xiao Letian and the others, then took out their pistols and pointed it at Paul and the others, ready to attack.

"Stop! Paul is my friend, you can't just casually capture him … " Xiao Letian's reprimand was useless, the French soldiers did not listen to him.

Pierre smiled and said, "Prime Minister, your diplomatic immunity is limited to your group, it does not include these Prussian. Please forgive me for being unable to do it …"

There were more than 20 guns and rifles, and all of their muzzles were aimed at Paul and his subordinates. This Prussian soldier who accompanied Xiao Letian throughout the entire Mediterranean smiled bitterly and saluted Xiao Letian with his military salute.

"Prime Minister, goodbye. My mission was not completed, this is the result I deserve …"

"Bullshit!" Dragon Lord, make your move … " Xiao Letian roared, and several Chinese guards attacked at the same time. Their pistols and short blades flashed like magic, and in a blink of an eye, all six military officers, including Pierre, were under's control.

At this time, none of the Europeans had ever seen Chinese martial arts. This kind of strange fighting technique was the most suitable for close combat. Before Pierre could even react, Dragon Lord's short blade had already reached his throat, chilled him to the bone.

"From the time I entered Hong Kong, Paul was my mercenary. The person who kidnapped me did not give me face! Is this the sincerity of you French people? I don't care how tense your relationship with Prussia is, your reasons are not good enough for me... "

Pierre never thought that the Chinese would suddenly attack him. Was this still the people who were said to have declined? The ruthlessness of this outfit was not any less than that of the Europeans.

"Calm down, everyone calm down …" French soldiers, listen to my orders and put down your weapons. Pierre turned his head and looked at Xiao Letian in disbelief, "I don't know what you are thinking, but I just want to remind you that as a politician, your actions are very irrational.

Xiao Letian did not reply him, and inwardly sighed, "Without Paul's help, how could I have escaped? Isn't this just a dream? You arrogant emperors, go and play by yourselves. "

"Señor Pierre, it would be better for you to consult Paris. Your rank is not high enough to command me. You have done even more wrong!"
