Mary. Antonett, with a beautiful lady's round hat and a white scarf over her face, hid her eyes by drinking water, and in front of her, a tall Serris, dressed in a splendid gown, was babbling about something.

Around him, a large number of French nobles surrounded him, and everyone was discussing it enthusiastically.

"Queen, I think I'm a little sleepy, this envoy of Quang Nam will be entertained by you, I want to go and rest!"

Next to Queen Mary, Louis XVI, who had been restless for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak.

What kind of cocktail party, banquet and the like, is the French king hates the most, with these time, it is better to study one or two more strange locks, as for the aristocratic ladies who shuttle like flowers and butterflies at the banquet, Louis XVI is even more lazy to take a look.

His Majesty had no interest in women, and he was the only French king in the past who had no mercy.

You must know that in France now, how many lovers the king can have is a direct reflection of his personal ability and charm, but Louis XVI doesn't care, women or something, the most annoying!

"Alright! My Majesty, I think I can entertain this Seris for you, but I have a party with Madame Pollina....! Queen Mary tilted her head slightly, and did not even get up.

"Uhhhh Louis XVI knew what she meant by being a queen, and the party she spoke of was gambling, a boring game of poker, and Louis XVI shook his head.

"Okay! Although it has been a little difficult lately, I have 50,000 livres for you, my dear, and you can enjoy your happiness to the fullest! ”

At the hearing of the fifty thousand livres, Queen Mary finally smiled, and she stood up and made a curtsy bow to the king, while Louis XVI slipped away with relief.

"I don't agree with you, Mr. Zinedin, the Russians are rude and barbaric, they don't know what civilization is, if it weren't for the fact that Moscow is too remote and cold, I don't think they even have the qualifications to be an independent state, let alone a great power!" A blonde French aristocrat shook his head like a rattle.

When Ye Kai predicted that Russia would become an important power on the European continent just now, everyone expressed their disbelief.

In the eyes of these French aristocrats, Russia was remote and inhospitable, and they could not even mass-produce flintlock pistols, so they did not have the conditions to become a powerful country.

Ye Kai smiled and said, "Sir, in fact, you have just said that Russia is a necessary condition for Russia to become a great power, that is, barbarism and coldness.

Barbarism represents the Russian soldiers' tolerance for harsh conditions and the courage to charge on the battlefield, and sometimes barbarism and courage cannot be so clearly distinguished.

As for the cold, it is the most advantageous weapon for the Russians, because no matter what happens to them or how much trauma they suffer, they can retract into the cold bed and lick their wounds, and it is precisely these two points that make Russia strong. ”

There was a burst of applause, and the blonde nobleman wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth and didn't know where to refute, so he could only puff and puff angrily.

"Mr. Zinedin, it seems that you are very familiar with Europe, so from the perspective of Oriental Rao, who will become the hegemon in this world?"

Ye Kai turned his head to see that a young but gray-haired French nobleman was asking him questions.

"Sorry, who are you?" Ye Kai nodded in a friendly manner, the guy who asked the question had sharp eyes and a tall posture, and he was not easy to mess with at first glance.

So Ye Kai felt that he was better to be cautious, at this time, France was full of celebrities, and if he didn't do it, a few masters would come out, and he was dizzy with ease.

After all, Ye Kai doesn't know much about the history of Europe, he only knows some general historical trends, and he doesn't have a deep memory of the details, but Ye Kai looked at the height of this guy, well, it is estimated that there is about 1.75 meters, which can be ruled out as taking the emperor.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." The gray-haired nobleman bowed his head apologetically, "I'm Gilbert. Morality. Motil! ”

Ye Kai's pupils shrank, and he knew who he was, the famous Marquis Lafayette, a hero in the North American Revolutionary War, and a master who introduced the British into Yorktown.

There is a joke circulating in the military forums and post bars of later generations, the god emperor, understand Comrade Wang Jianguo, if there is no great sister, you see, the French are still in German.

Then someone replied: "If King Louis had not turned around and sent the Marquis de Lafayette and the French army to aid the United States, the cub who cut down the cherry tree would have been hanged by the lobster soldiers for treason, of course, this will not affect the Emperor and understand His Majesty's English, but the title is likely to be changed from Grand Commander to Governor!" ”

So on the Internet, His Majesty Louis XVI was promoted from foreign wine and health strengthening pills to Ah Mei, you see the father of the country, far above the cherry.

Of course, this is just a joke, but the Marquess of Lafayette is truly remarkable, and he was not yet 27 years old at the time of the Battle of Yorktown.

This battle directly affected the history of the entire North American continent, the British were no longer powerless to prevent the independence of North America, and it was one of the few moments of the French in the entire Seven Years' War.

Ye Kai really wanted the overlord to be British, but he couldn't do this, Britain and France had a feud for hundreds of years, and he had a brain to draw his brain, and the British would become the world hegemon in front of France.

So after thinking about it, Ye Kai coughed lightly, "From my perspective as Dongfang Rao, although I don't want to admit it, I still want to say that the future overlord of this world for hundreds of years belongs to you Europao."

If in Europa, which country has the best hope of becoming a world hegemon? It's none other than France and England.

It's just that in terms of difficulty, the road to world hegemony for the British is certainly easier, and the road to world hegemony is much more difficult for France. ”

Ye Kai felt that he was already very tactful, but the French people present all frowned, and the Marquis de Lafayette was no exception.

"Monsieur Zinedin, you are surrounded by valiant French soldiers, whose military qualities and fighting will are far superior to those of the Sequoia Army across the Channel!

And His Majesty George III only has tens of thousands of troops, the world is so big, can it be dominated by tens of thousands of troops? I wonder, why do you think so? ”

The Marquis de Lafayette was a little unconvinced, although the British had activated the-stirring stick on the European continent, but the French could really taste its power, it had to be after Napoleon was exiled twice.

At that time, the British gathered all the countries of Europe, and they forced France, which was so brilliant that it was about to ascend, into the dirt.

"It's simple, Lord Marquis, because the British don't need to maintain a large army at all, they only need tens of thousands of elites, and there are too many countries on this continent that they can exploit, such as Prussia in the Seven Years' War, Russia that is growing stronger, and even Austria that seems harmless.

The British only needed to prop up a middle power on the continent that could confront France, and the rest of the money would be used to develop the navy.

France, on the other hand, has no way to concentrate on developing its navy like the British, and geography determines that France needs to pay equal attention to both, which will undoubtedly greatly distract you, and without a sea power that can compete with the British, France will not be able to guarantee its overseas interests, and it will undoubtedly be very difficult to rely on its own territory to fight against the British who are colonies everywhere. ”

"Gentlemen, gentlemen, tonight is a dinner party to welcome the envoy of Zinedin, and perhaps I can open another salon for you to discuss, but tonight, let us jump!"

The delicate voice came, and everyone looked back, Queen Mary, dressed in a splendid court robe, did not know when she had come over, and as the current owner, His Majesty King Louis XVI had disappeared, and it seemed that he had long since left.

"His Majesty is a little unwell, and he has already gone back to rest early!" Queen Mary saw that everyone was looking at Louis XVI's empty seat, and she explained.

Ye Kai couldn't help but admire His Majesty the King, he slipped away without saying a word on such an occasion, leaving a delicate queen to enjoy the party with a group of sturdy men. Indescribable!

And he looked at the French nobles around him, apparently they had long been accustomed to it.
