Molière and Bruce looked at each other, both of them completely seeing the astonishment in the other's eyes. They never would have thought that in this ignorant and sealed off Qing Dynasty, they actually knew who it was, and not just Xiao Letian, another one actually appeared.

Gong Cheng was right, the education of the citizens in Europe was getting higher and higher, free will of the citizens was rising, the middle class and the working class were beginning to covet the rights of the upper echelons, and France had always been the leader of the Europeans in this area.

There was no need to talk about the French Revolution of 1789, it was not just Louis XVI who was beheaded. At the same time, the absolute monarchy and feudal system that had ruled France for hundreds of years had been chopped off as well.

After the revolution, French politics was just like a swing between monarch and republican. Today, when the emperor took power, the parliament would be in power again tomorrow, and the trend of free thought was spreading more and more in France.

Such a society is very difficult to rule. Freedom and equality are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The people are no longer a string of numbers under the Emperor's rule. Everyone has their own thoughts and demands. Isn't that wishful thinking!

During this time, Molière had been thinking about the problem of casualty rate. He was unwilling to carry out the final battle and had always hoped to use explosions to surrender to the enemy in order to lower the casualty rate of Expeditionary forces.

It was foreseeable that every soldier who died in this battle would establish an additional enemy for the emperor's rule. If thousands of soldiers died in battle, the public opinion in France would attack the emperor with overwhelming force.

Napoleon had already poured a bucket of feces on Napoleon's reputation. If the anti-war waves in the country were to rise again, then the consequences would be unimaginable.

The French, you know, have always had a good habit of overthrowing emperors, even cutting them in the head when they get annoyed.

"Hehe, what a joke …" Since when had the brave French soldiers been afraid of death? In Crimea, we sacrificed a hundred thousand to defeat the Russian … In the wars between Africa and the indigenous peoples, our soldiers did not flinch... "

"And now you, the guide, have the audacity to laugh at the valor of the Legion? If you were not the messenger of England, I could throw you into the sea today and feed you to the fishes... "

How could the majesty of an emperor be lost on Major General Bruce? He berated loudly, but he was absolutely not the first to arrive, but this black skinny old man actually laughed towards the sky fearlessly.

"Hahaha …" You are the kind of person who acts tough on the inside but is weak on the inside. Only a tough mouth can be used to cook a duck … Aren't you afraid? Funny, why didn't you guys give the order for an all-out assault when you were so brave? Why didn't the Guotou Village send more troops? "Then why didn't Tyrant's Wharf forcefully take it over?"

Gong Cheng took out a folding fan and shook it arrogantly: "I know that you French people have been fighting all these years, but the dead have their skills too …" In Crimea, what you are dealing with is your nemesis, the Russian. Your citizens are not afraid of revenge, let alone a hundred thousand, it's fine even if you win and lose two hundred thousand … "

"Speaking of the colonial wars that you fought, the reason that they didn't raise any anti-war sentiment in the country is because you guys can obtain a lot of benefits from winning. Needless to say, six years ago, I led you guys into the Beijing, but in the end, you guys in France didn't make any money? "The profits are all over the place, there's no anti-war voices in the country …"

Gong Cheng looked at General Bruce with disdain, as if he was a scholar in the Qing Dynasty who was looking at a rude military man. "Look at this Naha Harbor, if you lose thousands of people here, the benefits you get will not be enough to fill the hole you owe us all …"

"The debt is still pretty good. First, Naha Harbor does not produce any food, second, does not produce any mineral resources, and third state treasury is also not filled. The only thing that is of any value is the location, but you, France, can't even protect your colonies in India anymore, and you still have the energy to snatch the Ryukyu? "

"Hehe, be careful that the Ryukyu gets it and India is lost too. Waiting to starve to death? "

"You!" Molière and Bruce growled as they stood up in anger. This was a slap in the face to them, and the person who slapped their face was Chinese. This was even more unbearable.

Molière sighed sorrowfully in his heart. He knew that everything Gong Cheng said was the truth.

Gong Banlun waved his fan, drank his wine, and looked at the beautiful scenery of the port. He could not be bothered to pay attention to the two angry Frenchmen, as he knew clearly in his heart that it was impossible to stop these Frenchmen from fighting.

After facing such a stalemate for a few minutes, Molière laughed lightly, the tense atmosphere dissipated. "Alright, I understand, Mr Gong should have a brilliant plan to offer it to us. I have previously researched it, your Chinese advisers just like to stimulate their employers first and then sell them off at a high price …"

With a "pa" sound, the opened fan was closed and Gong Cheng slapped his thigh. It's good to talk to someone who knows what he's doing... Let's talk about the price first? "

No matter what, Bruce was a general, he was not used to this kind of face, so he sat down angrily: "Price? You only have money left in your eyes... "A fellow who can even sell his own country, hehe …"

Hearing the general's sneer, Gong Banlun did not get angry. Instead, he cupped his hands and laughed, "Haha, you're courteous. "If you were to say that in history, the country was sold for so much, and it was so exciting, I'm probably the only one. Hahaha …"

How shameless, Bruce could do nothing against such a shameless person. In the end, he turned his head and simply didn't look at him again.

Gong Banlun ignored him and started to discuss with Molière in a low voice, "My asking price isn't high, but you have to give me French citizenship. I think we should have an apartment in downtown Paris, and according to the monthly salary that the British gave me, your French embassy would also hire me as their adviser.

"It's not expensive, I'm not expensive at all. How about you give me 10,000 pounds a month? Sigh … What's with your face? We have discussions, we have discussions! If it wasn't 10,000 silver coins, then it would be fine. Even if it was too little, it would still cost him a lot to sell his country! "Shameless is a type of investment …"

"His Excellency the Special Envoy, if you hire a staff officer like me, you won't be at a disadvantage. Isn't it just 10,000 yuan a month? There's no need to talk about that anymore, I'll help you get this Ryukyu … "

Gong Banlun's shamelessness caused Molière to be completely speechless, this was the first time he saw someone selling a country with such righteousness, what was the difference between this and a business? Even a businessman would have to be shameless. This person simply didn't have anything, and the thing he had on his neck was a black hole.

"Wait …" "Wait a moment, I agree to your conditions on principle, but I want to listen to your plan first. If it's feasible, let alone ten thousand silver coins, even if it's ten thousand gold coins, I would still dare to agree to it …"

With a "pa" sound, Gong Cheng slapped his thigh, following that, the wet water ghost appeared again. "Water dog, you must work harder, so that you can quickly return to that tyrant and contact Minister Jin. Tell him that I, Gong Banlun, am going to negotiate with Ryukyu, and bring him peace …"

"Ah …" The water dog used a Thousand Hit and turned its head like a sharp arrow, disappearing into the sea.

"His Excellency the Special Envoy, we will be watching the performance of your French Fleet tomorrow. Divide this latest batch of firearms quickly, and blast open the doors for me tomorrow. We will need to bring out the craziest of momentum, even if the sky is going to collapse. We must blow up the morale of Liuzhu Military and Civilians …"

"Tomorrow, we will bombard them for a day. However, the day after tomorrow, you all better not take action. You all better rest for a day and then let these people be at a loss. The day after, it will be the third day. "At that time, I will have to rely on my glib tongue …"

"What?" Negotiation? " Bruce suddenly turned his head, and almost lost his spine, "We lost two battleships, and the number of casualties reached a thousand, and in the end you came to negotiate? Did my soldiers die in vain? "

"His Excellency the Special Envoy, don't forget the mission given to us by His Majesty. It's a punishment, a journey for revenge, not some bullsh * t diplomatic agreement!"

"Ai ai ai …" Why are you so angry? I'm not done yet... " Gong Cheng smiled mischievously as he waved his fan at the general.

"Who said we are going to negotiate? We are just using the name of a negotiation to lure the high officials of the Ryukyu over … You think there's going to be a ceremony just to sign the agreement? We'll have to go ashore if there's a ceremony, won't we? When King Shang Tai and the other civil and military officials appear, let's throw a toast as the number … "

Gong Cheng stretched out his index finger and thumb, forming a circle in front of him before suddenly tightening it, as if he was holding onto the enemy's neck.

"The big shots have all been captured, what are we afraid of after this little flea? I have also let you guys know that I have already arranged many spies in Ryukyu. They are all martial arts experts, and the more chaotic the situation, the more they can perform … We have to learn from Sun Wukong and dig our way into the stomach of Princess Iron Fan to stir up trouble! "

Molière and Bruce were both dumbstruck, and Bruce in particular, actually subconsciously replied, "Eh? It was indeed possible … "Right now, the biggest threat to us from the Ryukyu is our cannons and trenches. If we can avoid these defensive positions and directly open fire at the center, with our French Army's land combat abilities, fighting these new troops will not be a problem …"

"The shore defense cannon cannot bomb the city, the trench will become a decoration, we have control over the Ryukyu's subjects, and the new army will return to the city center from all directions, but at that time it will become our defense, they will attack …"

"The tall and big Shouli City can provide us with sufficient defense. There are cannons at sea to support the bombing, and we also have hostages …"

Bruce and Molière were really convinced this time, this Gong Banlun really had a plan.

"My lords, do you understand? You have to believe that I, Gong Cheng, can bring you all to attack and break the Beijing. Ha ha-ha, how satisfying would it be if there was another big fire? "I didn't see enough last time …"

"Look, I, Gong Banlun am about to exterminate the second nation. Where should the next country be chosen? North Korea or Japan? "
