C466 To the east and west?

To the east and west?

Just as Xiao Letian was at a loss about this, Pierre opened the door and rushed in. He did not say anything with his mouth tightly shut, and only used his back to push against the cabin door as he shook his head desperately at Xiao Letian.

After a long while, he finally whispered into Xiao Letian's ears, "Master, we can't go any further, we definitely can't go back to East Asia, the French want your life, the British are on both sides of the coin. Think about it, if Molière's fleet don't have any supplies, how would they dare to choose the siege tactic? The British are not involved in this! "

"The British always bet on both sides. In Europe, Prime Minister Derby bet on you, but the Asian Governor of England have never seen you in Europe. Their bet is still on the French!"

"Furthermore, there is a Russia on the north who is eyeing us covetously. Didn't you say before, Sir? The Russian's strategic goal is to head south, go south, and go further south. They want the warm land and ports to exist, and you are the greatest threat in their eyes! "

"I dare to believe that when the situation is at its worst, the one who stabbed the last blade cannot be the Qing Dynasty, it must be the Russian! I have an 80% chance of success! "

"The most important thing is that the people of East Asia have been disrupted by Molière's plan. Everyone thought that with your death, the only thing capable of forming the people's hearts and minds will be lost, and the Ryukyu itself will not be split apart. Would the royal family and the original ministers have second thoughts? What if there are a few capitulationists out there? "

Pierre was truly worthy of being a genius in intelligence. He had never been to East Asia, and all his analysis was based on the accumulation of information and the variables in intelligence today. This information was a mess in the eyes of outsiders, but in the mind of the Frenchman, it was as clear as a picture in the palm of his hand.

Pierre's previous accumulation of information was the basis of all his analyses. Who were the rulers and ministers of the Ryukyu Kingdom? What have you done? What kind of personality did he have? There was also the data of the French fleet, the weaving of the navy and army, and the personality of the commander.

It was a huge project, and people with small brains couldn't understand it, but for Pierre it was just appetizers.

Now, not only could Pierre say the name and personality of every high official in the Ryukyu, he also knew the temperament and temperament of every captain in the French expedition fleet, as well as the actual powers within the Qing Dynasty and the situation of the foreign diplomats in the East Crossing Folk Lane.

It was only with such a sufficient accumulation of basic information that he was able to accurately deduce and analyze the situation based on each variable. Just now on the deck, he was holding a beer bottle with one hand and the other hand was holding the railing as he wandered back and forth on the deck, looking like a useless drunkard from afar.

But all the Englishmen did not know that Pierre was actually doing the most precise calculation. He threw every variable on the roll into the sea of basic information stored in his head, over and over again trying to deduce the chain reaction that would follow.

Usually, after dozens of deductions, he would be able to come up with the most likely scenario. However, any piece of information was not isolated, and was instead a series of information combinations. One could imagine how big of a calculation it was.

The more detailed the deduction was, the more reliable the results would be. The title of Pierre's gold medal intelligence officer was not just for show, Xiao Letian once said in his heart that losing Pierre meant losing a whole army of France.

Today, Pierre once again showed off his heaven-defying methods. His analysis left everyone in the room dumbfounded.

"Prime Minister, I know where your hesitation lies. First, you don't want to be a deserter because you are afraid of being persecuted by your loved ones and friends who have stayed in East Asia. You stay in Europe and use your influence in the West to pressure the Qing Dynasty and France. Then, your family and friends will be safe and sound, because your deterrence is still there! "

"On the contrary, if you are arrested in East Asia and your own life cannot be saved, who else would you like to protect?"

"Second, you don't want to leave East Asia. You want to take a gamble because you are afraid that Prussia's protection will be unreliable. I understand your worry. You fear that you will end up being marginalized and lonely in the countryside of Europe. You will never be able to reach the heart of power …"

"Well, what I'm going to say is that you're wrong again. Americans, Prussian, even Britain, Austria, including a portion of the French, are you impressed by your power in East Asia? They admire your unyielding spirit and the wonderful knowledge that is hidden in your chest! "

"I am sure that in Bismark's eyes, your speculations about the future development of warships are even more important than your influence in East Asia. "When you were fighting in the Shiqiao uplands, you used your creative ability to create trenches. Your contribution was even greater than your contribution in the entire battle …"

"Do you know? Now someone has called you the Father of the modern trenches! "

Pierre shouted excitedly, "My lord, please don't be so pessimistic. You can still have your own career and achievements in Europe!"

"Third, I know that you are reluctant to part with your motherland. Your dream is to make your motherland stronger. You hope that China can quickly catch up with Europe and avoid a repeat of the tragedy from six years ago …"

"But, a temporary retreat does not mean permanent defeat? There is a saying in China called... Is it called 'The Curved Line Saves the Country'? In Europe, why can't we hide our strength and build up our strength? "

"If it doesn't work out, we can set up a Chinese government in Europe? To organize a Chinese government in exile, train the Mercenaries, build a big battleship, and accumulate all of your strength to fight back. At that time, you can also achieve the dream that you had in your heart! "

Crazy, is Pierre crazy today? In the end, the sounds became louder and louder. Xiao Hexin pounced on him and covered his mouth with one hand.

"You drunkard large nose, lower your voice. You have ears on the wall!" They crashed into the floor.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The English sailor's voice came from outside, "Mr Xiao …" I've already bought the fruit that you wanted. May I ask where I keep it? "

Xiao Hexin struggled up from the ground, opened the door and smiled: "Thank you, leave it to me!" The two sailors were still looking inside with shifty eyes when they saw Pierre, whose head had been knocked over.

"Oh, Mr. Pierre has had too much to drink. He's all right. You can just wash his face with cold water …" With that, he nodded his thanks and closed the door.

Pierre, who had also calmed down, got up from the floor and sat down on a chair. He lowered his voice and said, "All my analyses are here. I ask Your Excellency the Prime Minister to decide."

Xiao Letian painfully pressed his temples, he had no choice but to admit that Pierre was truly a talented intelligence officer. He could come up with such a plan in such a short amount of time, could it be that his brain only contained an eight core CPU? I wanted to tear his head off and see if he was a robot.

So tempting, Pierre's suggestion was really tempting. It could be said that it was the most effective way to deal with the current crisis and form an overseas government. It seemed that Mr. Sun from his previous life did not have much to do with this.

Xiao Letian had more conditions than Mr. Sun to save the country, not to mention that Xiao Letian himself was very rich, he did not need to gather funds from all over, but from the looks of Xiao Letian's contacts in the Western world, he could tell that after three years of lying low, he might be able to get a group of Iron-armored Ship and block the entrance of the Da Gu Kou.

Much less Xiao Letian who had his own army of officials, that was the biggest foundation for his future career.

The hesitating light in Xiao Letian's eyes allowed Hu Niu and Ping Er to understand what was going on. Before Xiao Letian could answer, Ping Er actually opened her mouth first. Mister Pierre, if we were to do as you say, can we save all the sisters who were left in Tanggu's mansion by Master? "

The large nose nodded his head sincerely, "Yes, no problem, as long as Prime Minister is in Europe, we can exert diplomatic pressure. Qing Dynasty does not dare to act rashly!"

"What about my father?" Hu Niu also opened his mouth to ask, and what he received in return was Pierre's nod, "No problem, Old Master Fan is a merchant, or a famous merchant from East Asia, any country will protect him …"

"Then what about Sister Fu Hui? And the Qing San Ye? " Hu Niu asked.

"This?" Pierre was speechless. After thinking for a long while, he lowered his head and said, "It depends on their choice. After all, it's not easy to get rid of that identity behind their backs!"

Everyone could see the conflict in Xiao Letian's heart, and in the end, even Xiao Hexin could not help but say, "Master, actually, this Prussian also hopes for you to return. Right now, the best choice is to return to Europe … We can make a comeback! "

"Rising again?" Xiao Letian was suddenly enraged: "Bullshit, why did you rise up again, how many people would I have died for nothing if I were to escape from Ryukyu?" How many people would die in the Great Qing? Those were the people raised by their parents! "It's not an animal!"

"Sir!" "Kindness does not control the righteousness of the troops, while the situation is better than the person. We have to survive first, and then we can think of a way to take revenge!" Xiao Hexin bellowed with red eyes.

Xiao Letian was so excited that the veins on his forehead bulged, but was unable to find an outlet to vent. In the end, he sat back down and painfully closed his eyes.

The warm wind from Sri Lanka could not dispel the coldness in Xiao Letian's heart. Walking to the east was a narrow escape, and walking to the west was a peaceful and joyous event. This choice was simply too difficult. Xiao Letian finally understood why being a great man was so hard.

Forget about Xiao Letian being conflicted in the Indian Ocean for now, the situation in the Ryukyu was already at its most critical point. After a day of work, a signing platform made out of bamboo and wood was built on the dock, which was more than two meters tall, and had a surface area of thirty square meters. Other than a table in the middle, the rest were all chairs.

The final version of the [Ryukyu Treaty] had already been finalized. Through Gong Cheng's connection, both sides no longer had any objections.

When the treaty was signed, the French navy and the new army of the Ryukyu needed to have a small parade. Although it was only a few hundred people in size, it was enough for the French to show off their might.

Everything was going according to Gong Cheng's script, the time to pack up the net finally arrived.
