Xiao Letian's heart was moved, his heart had begun to waver, Count Tarbis was twice as old as Xiao Letian, he had walked more bridges than these young people had walked, and he had eaten more salt than everyone had eaten. Under his clever tongue, not only Xiao Lotian was shaken, but even the surrounding New Army officers were shaken.

What is a natural negotiator? This is a real negotiator, and the old earl is not a sophistry at all, he just candidly showed Xiao Lotian the reality of Europe.

I put all the difficulties that you Xiao Lotian is about to face in the same way, and all the analysis can provide you with evidence, the old earl knows that you Xiao Lotian is a European expert, then I don't lie to you, I'll tell you the truth.

Sometimes, negotiations are not as full of surprises and uncertainties as they are in film and television programs, and are full of deception. In fact, in most cases, negotiation is to lay out facts and reason, and when the hole cards of both sides are lit, it is clear who is strong and who is weak, and the conflict can naturally be resolved at the negotiation table.

Now the old earl is using Yangmou, and he clearly told Xiao Lotian that you have taken advantage of enough, if you continue to fight, I am afraid that the benefits you have already obtained will not only not be taken away but will also have to spit out a part, this is not alarmist, I gave you a very real example.

The old earl looked at Xiao Letian expectantly, he also saw that Xiao Letian's heart was shaken, and he decided to add more strength, "Look at the soldiers around you, such a large casualty rate, even if you surrender, there is no shame, not to mention that this is not a surrender, this is just a gift for you to leave here, and your dignity will not be hurt in the slightest......"

"Think about it, look at those wounded and wailing brothers, as a qualified commander, you should be responsible for them..."

This sentence hit Xiao Letian's soft underbelly like a heavy hammer, and his already unfirm heart swayed even more, and even Jonas felt abnormal this time.

"Mr. Xiao ......" He subconsciously wanted to dissuade Xiao Letian, as a high-ranking Prussian official, of course he knew the importance of the highlands behind him, but he really couldn't say the words.

These Chinese, as well as the boys in the Hamburg boot camp, have suffered enough casualties, they are human beings, not gods, and they are not obligated to complete tasks that only God can do.

Jonas stopped talking, the officers from China were also a little shaken, Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun closed their eyes slightly and recalled the brothers who died in battle along the way, their voices and smiles were still echoing in their heads, and at this time, looking at the survivors around them, they had nothing to say.

Just when the old earl felt that the negotiation was going to be a big success, suddenly Xiao Letian had a dull cough behind him...... I wondered, did the remnant blood flag rise in vain? We have fought all the way to this day, relying on business?"

It was no one else who spoke, it was actually Long Ye, this big man in the green forest of the north, still the temper of a hero in the green forest, he didn't know what diplomacy and politics were, and he didn't know what compromise was, in his eyes, victory and defeat were as clear as the Chu River Han realm.

Long Ye looked back at the broken recognition flag, and said with great sadness, "How many people died under this banner?" I can't count, but I only know that under this banner, we have been fighting from beginning to end, and none of us have ever thought of the word retreat......

"I'm a rough person, I don't understand the big truth, I don't even understand half of what you say, but I know at least one thing, if you don't have real strength in hand, then all negotiations are......"

Long Ye's words sounded like a thunderbolt in the hearts of Xiao Letian and the surrounding officers, and everyone was stunned, no one expected that Long Ye, who rarely spoke, would be able to say such a truth.

"I, Xiang Shaolong, am from the green forest, and I can't play with your twists and turns, but I know at least one thing that the most fearful thing about the green forest heroes is that they are exhausted, and they are afraid of the left and right, snakes and rats. We seem to have been quite prosperous in the past few years, and even I think we are very bullish, but when I came to Europa this time, I completely understood......"

"How can we compare ourselves with other Europe? Don't forget that we knocked on the door of Prussia with millions of taels of silver as a stepping stone, so why did we forget our duty after one or two games?"

"If we retreat today, even if Prussia doesn't say anything on the surface, what will they think in their hearts? They will think that our Chinese are not sincerely allied with them at all, that we are just a bunch of profiteers who have come to Europe to take advantage, and the little respect they have just established for us will probably disappear......"

Ah... This is really a word to wake up the person in the dream, Xiao Letian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Long Ye as if he had seen a ghost possessed.

Count Tablis sensitively noticed the abnormality, but he couldn't understand Chinese, at this time he anxiously shouted at Jonas, "What is he talking about? What is the identity of this Chinese?", but how could Jonas translate this for him, and he was also moved by Long Ye's words.

Xiao Lotian really wanted to give himself two mouths now, and he was ashamed of the idea of retreating just now. What Long Ye said was not wrong at all, if everyone listened to Count Tarbis and withdrew from the battle today, then they would really have been decided.

The image of his own group in the minds of the Prussian top will plummet, Bismarck and Wilhelm I, and Moltke the Elder, plus two Prince Karls...... So much so that all the high nobles will be deeply disappointed in themselves.

They will treat Xiao Letian as a profiteer from left to right, and there will be a rift in their alliance with Xiao Letian, perhaps not a rift, but only from the realm of possibly becoming a brotherhood, and finally retreating to the realm of mutual use.

This is the conspiracy that the old earl is hiding under the conspiracy, he not only wants to get this high ground, but he also wants to destroy the intimate relationship between Xiao Lotian and Prussia.

Long Ye's blow continued, and no one expected that Long Ye also had such a poisonous side, "This trip to Europa, I can be regarded as an eye-opener, look at the railway, those trains, telegraph lines and countless factories and barracks." Oh yes, and those shipyards by the sea...... I kind of understand, let's compare with others, is that little strength enough?"

"Phew...... Adults have always scolded the Manchu Yelang for being arrogant, I think we are also a little arrogant today, we are so weak and want to form an alliance with the strong, what do we rely on? It is not the same negotiation and calculation as doing business, but it is the obligation to push the ...... when others are the most difficult and their lives have reached the threshold."

"It depends on moving others with our actions, letting them know that our Chinese are allies that can be trusted, not villains who come to take advantage...... I think you're carried away by this bit of blood on the battlefield..."

Speaking of this, Master Long looked at Xiao Letian's eyes, and he suddenly whispered, "My lord, don't forget, Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun and Luo Huo, the three stinky boys, have kidnapped the future prince of Prussia in the Hamburg new barracks... You must know that sooner or later, this country will be the prince of the people......"

Okay, when it comes to this, there is no need to rap more, Xiao Letian suddenly straightened his clothes and saluted Long Ye with a military salute.

"Thank you... Thank you for waking me up......" After speaking, Xiao Lotian turned his head to look at Count Tarburis, and smiled very politely, "Thank you for your persuasion, but we will not retreat, this is a battlefield, not a vegetable market, we don't want to make a deal..."

The old earl's face changed suddenly, and at this time, the Brigadier Pengka beside him shouted angrily, "Stupid Chinese, you are looking for death, don't think that I will show mercy to Alan and them as hostages......"

The old earl raised his hand to stop Pengka's abuse, "Mr. Xiao, please calm down, I hope you will think about it carefully...... I don't know what kind of preferential terms the Prussians have given you, but I can guarantee that we in Austria will give us Austria what they give......"

"What do you want... Weaponry, the latest technology, excellent education...... What do we Austria want, except that we can't provide you with warships?"

"No, no, no, we can help you even in navigation, with the Habsburg connections in Europe, as long as we say a word, you can have what kind of battleship drawings you want, what kind of shipbuilders you want, our Austrian heritage is beyond your imagination......"

"Enough... Earl, please go back, you don't understand what we Chinese want, I guess you don't want to understand either, for the sake of your bitter heart, I will send you a final word..."

"In the battle of Prussia, Prussia will win... You think I'm talking nonsense? Hehe, you're wrong, maybe you nobles don't know where the gap between your two countries is..."

"Who can win against a fully industrialized country against a semi-industrialized country? Who will lose a country that has succeeded in mobilizing the forces of nationalism against a country that is still in the feudal era ruled by the aristocracy?"

"Old Earl, go back and think about it..."After speaking, Xiao Letian turned his head and left, and grabbed Long Ye's wrist and whispered, "Thank you for waking me up, wait to return to China, I will give you a national art hall and let you be the director, I don't believe it, I can't afford to support a north and south green forest leader?"

Count Tablis looked at Xiao Letian's back with a dull gaze, and his heart was like turning over the river and the sea, "How can this be, this Xiao Letian is really a Chinese?

"Yes, Prussia was much more industrialized than Austria, and Bismarck was vigorously promoting nationalism, and the war weariness of the people at home was very low, and the efficiency of war mobilization was unimaginable in Austria...... But how can Xiao Lotian understand all these things?"

The old earl stared at Xiao Letian's back with cold eyes, and finally turned the horse's head fiercely, "Go, prepare for a general attack immediately, this Xiao Lotian will definitely become a headache for the whole of Europe in the future...... For God's sake, even if our mission fails, we will kill this Chinese..."
