Molière and Bruce glanced at each other, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes, they never thought that in the ignorant and closed Manchu Qing country in their impressions, there were really people who understood, and there was not only Xiao Letian, but now there was another one.

Gong Cheng is right, Europe is now more and more educated, free civic will is beginning to rise, the middle class and the working class are beginning to covet the rights of the top, and France has always been the first in Europe in this regard.

Needless to say, the French Revolution of 1789 was not only decapitated by Louis XVI, but also by the absolute monarchy and feudalism that had ruled France for hundreds of years.

Although there was a continuous restoration of the Napoleonic family in the later period, the spirit of freedom has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, since the Revolution in France, the government is the monarch and the republic back and forth, today the emperor came to power, tomorrow the parliament is in power again, the liberal trend of thought in France is increasingly widespread.

Such a society is very difficult to rule, the concept of freedom and equality is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the people are no longer a string of numbers under the rule of the emperor, everyone has their own thoughts and demands, you want to encourage them to die?

Molière had been thinking about the casualty rate all this time, he was reluctant to fight a decisive battle, and he always hoped to use bombing to subjugate the enemy, in order to reduce the casualty rate of the expeditionary force.

It is foreseeable that every soldier who died in this battle would set up an additional family of enemies for the emperor's rule, and if a few thousand soldiers were really killed, then public opinion in France would be overwhelming against the emperor.

Napoleon III's popularity has now poured on Xiao Lotian, and if the anti-war wave in the country rises again at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

You must know that the French have always had a good habit of overthrowing the emperor, and even cut off the emperor's head when they are in a hurry.

"Hehe, ridiculous...... When did the brave French soldiers ever be greedy for life and afraid of death? In Crimea, we did not hesitate to sacrifice 100,000 in order to defeat the Russians...... In the war between Africa and the natives, our soldiers did not flinch in the slightest......"

"Now you lead the way, how dare you mock the bravery of the French legions, and if you were not an envoy to England, I would have thrown you into the sea to-day to feed the fish......

How could Major General Bruce fall into the emperor's majesty, he scolded loudly, but he never arrived first, this black and thin old man actually looked up to the sky and smiled without fear.

"Hahaha...... It's a person like you, and a boiled duck is left with a hard mouth...... You're not afraid? Funny, you're so brave, why don't you give the whole army an assault? Why don't you increase the number of troops in Kunigami Village? Why don't you forcibly capture Naha Pier?"

Gong Cheng took out a folding fan and shook it arrogantly, "I know that you French have been fighting for years, but dead people are also skillful...... In Crimea, you are dealing with the Russians, who have been enemies for generations, and your people are all committed to revenge, not to mention the death of 100,000, as long as you die 200,000 in victory, it is no problem......"

"Let's talk about the colonial wars you fought, and they didn't cause domestic anti-war sentiments, that is because you can get a lot of benefits if you win, needless to say, I took you to attack the city of Beijing six years ago, and in the end you France didn't make any money......?

Gong Cheng's eyes were full of disdain when he looked at Major General Bruce, just like a Manchu literati looked at the rude warriors with disdain, "Look at this Naha Port again, if you die thousands of people here, I'm afraid the benefits you get won't be able to make up for the big hole you owe......"

"The account is still very easy to calculate, Naha Port does not produce grain first, no mineral deposits second, and the third national treasury is not full, so you can't grab much money at all...... The only thing that has some value is the geographical location here, but you France can't even keep that little colony in India now, and you still have the spirit to grab the Ryukyus?"

"Hehe, be careful that the Ryukyus grab it, India has also lost it, what is the use of getting a lonely Naba hanging overseas at that time?

"You..." Molière and Bruce all stood up angrily with a low roar, this is Chi Guoguo's slap in the face, and the person who hit the face is still a Chinese, which is even more unbearable.

But anger could not solve any problems, Molière sighed sadly in his heart, he knew that what Gong Cheng said was all the truth.

Gong Banlun shook his fan, drank a little wine, looked at the beautiful scenery of the port, and didn't bother to deal with the two angry Frenchmen, he knew very well in his heart that this group of French people was now riding a tiger, and they would never dare to make another enemy.

After a few minutes of stalemate, Molière smiled faintly, and the tense atmosphere was dissipated, "Okay, I understand, Mr. Gong should have a clever plan to dedicate to us, I have studied before, you Chinese strategists just like to stimulate employers first, and then sell them for a high price......"

With a snap, the open folding fan was closed, and Gong Cheng slapped his thigh, "Smart, the envoy is smart... It's a pleasure to talk to someone who understands...... Let's talk about the price first?"

Anyway, Bruce is also a general, and he is very uncomfortable with this kind of businessman-like face, so he sat down angrily, "The price......? A guy who can even sell it in his own country, hehe......"

Listening to the general's sneer, Gong Banlun not only did not get angry, but gave up his hand, "Haha, polite, thank you for the compliment...... If you want to say that this history has betrayed the country so big and so wonderful, I'm afraid I'm the only one, hahaha......"

Shameless, Bruce was completely helpless in the face of such a shameless person, and finally turned his head and simply didn't look at him.

Gong Banlun ignored him, and began to discuss with Molière in a whisper, "My asking price is not high, you have to give me French citizenship, you must have an apartment in downtown Paris, and then according to the monthly salary given to me by the British, your French embassy also invited me to be a staff officer, and I can be regarded as finding an extra way back for myself by entrusting the two countries......"

"It's not expensive, I'm really not expensive, how about you give me 10,000 pounds a month......?" What kind of face do you have? Yes, let's discuss... If you don't have 10,000 silver coins, you can't do it any less, and it will cost you to sell the country... Shamelessness is also an investment......"

"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, if you hire a staff officer like me, you really don't suffer a loss, isn't it 10,000 yuan a month, I can think of a way for you to make millions of dollars in China...... Needless to say, I'll help you take down this Ryukyu ......"

Gong Banlun's shamelessness made Molière completely speechless, this was the first time he had seen such a righteous betrayal of the country, what was the difference between this and doing business? Even a businessman had to have a face, this person simply had nothing, and what he had on his neck was a black hole.

"Wait...... You wait a minute, I have agreed to your conditions in principle, but I will listen to your plan first, if it is feasible, let alone 10,000 silver coins, even if it is 10,000 pounds, I dare to promise you......"

With a snap, Gong Cheng slapped his thigh, and then the wet water ghost appeared again, "Water dog, you work harder, hurry up and lurk back to Naha, and contact Jin Shangshu first, just say that I, Gong Banlun, want to negotiate with the Ryukyu Kingdom, and I will send him peace......"

"Huh......" The water dog fell a thousand times, turned his head like a sharp arrow, and his figure did not enter the sea.

"Your Excellency Envoy, tomorrow I will see the performance of your French fleet, this latest batch of arms will be divided up quickly, and tomorrow I will be bombed openly, and I will have the craziest momentum, even if I blow up the sky, it doesn't matter, I must blow up the morale of the Ryukyu army and civilians......"

"Tomorrow you bomb indiscriminately for a day, and then the day after tomorrow you don't do it, give me a weird rest day, and then let this group of people scratch their heads, and when the day after tomorrow is the third day, I can log in as an envoy middleman...... When the time comes, it's going to depend on my incorruptible tongue......"

"What?negotiation?" Bruce turned his head sharply, almost injuring his own tendons, "We lost two ships, and the number of casualties reached a thousand, and finally you came to negotiate?

"Your Excellency, don't forget the mission given to us, which is a journey of punishment and revenge, not a diplomatic agreement of bullshit..."

"Oops...... Why are you so angry? I haven't finished yet......" Gong Cheng smiled and fanned the general.

"Who said we were going to negotiate? We're just luring out all the high-ranking officials of the Ryukyus in the name of negotiations...... You think, there must be a ceremony to sign the agreement, right? If there is a ceremony, we have to go ashore, right? When King Shangtai and those civil and military officials have appeared, let's throw the cup......

Gong Cheng's index fingers and thumbs of both hands were opened, forming a circle and then tightening suddenly, as if he was stuck in the neck of an enemy.

"The big guys have been caught, what are we afraid of the remaining little fleas? And I will give you a thorough explanation, I have already arranged a lot of detailed works in Ryukyu, all of them are martial arts masters, and the more chaotic the scene, the more they can perform...... We have to learn from Sun Wukong, and we have to get into the belly of the Iron Fan Princess to stir up the wind and rain..."

Molière and Bruce were dumbfounded, especially Bruce, who subconsciously answered, "Hey, it's really feasible...... Now the biggest threat to us in the Ryukyus is the batteries and the trenches everywhere, and if we can avoid these defensive positions and fire directly in the center, with the land combat capabilities of our French soldiers, it will not be a problem to fight these new armies......"

"The coastal defense batteries will not be able to bombard the city, and the trenches will become decorations at that time, and if we control the Ryukyu monarchs, those new troops will definitely return to the city center from all directions, but by then it will become our defense, and they will attack......"

"The tall Shuri Castle can provide us with sufficient defense, and there are artillery at sea to support the bombardment, plus we still have hostages in our hands......"

Bruce and Molière are really convinced this time, this Gong Banlun really has a set, this is a traitorous professional?

"Two French lords, have you figured it out? Believe me, Gong Cheng, I can lead you to break through the city of Beijing, can't you capture a Shuri castle? Hahaha, when the time comes, it will be more enjoyable to have another fire? I haven't seen enough of it last time......

"Look, I, Gong Banlun, am about to destroy the second country, oh, it's really lonely...... Where will the next country be chosen? North Korea or Japan?"
