When a new day came, Chen Yiming took Xiao Wuzi to the French Embassy again.

"I wonder what Mr. Lopnov is thinking?" After a brief greeting, Chen Yiming asked directly to the point.

"Chen, your Da Zhou's conditions are too harsh, I can't agree to it!" Without even thinking about it, Lopunov shook his head directly.

Hearing this, Chen Yiming smiled, "It seems that Mr. Lopunov has no sincerity in the peace talks, and the two sides have not even negotiated, so why do you say that my Da Zhou's conditions are too harsh?" We have not even put forward a formal condition now! ”

On the side, Pierre also said: "Your Excellency Lopunov, I have to advise you here. Mr. Chen is very right, now Da Zhou has refused without even putting forward a formal condition. If this is the case, there is no need for peace talks! ”

"You know, Lord Pierre!" Lopunov said helplessly, "I don't have any right to agree to the two aspects of land cutting and compensation, even if I do, our Emperor His Majesty will not agree."

Of course, if the Da Zhou side does not ask for land cession and compensation, I will do my best to let both sides see the hope of peace. ”

"As a defeated country, it was your Rus' country itself that asked for peace talks. If you don't pay a little price, Da Zhou will definitely not cease fighting, I hope you will understand this, Your Excellency Lopnov! ”

"Of course, I know it all too well!" "In addition to the land and compensation, I hope that Your Excellency Pierre will ask Da Zhou if there are any other requirements, and if the conditions are suitable, I will try my best to agree." ”

"......" glanced at Lopunov deeply, and Pierre said helplessly, "Okay, I will relay your meaning to Chen." ”

Looking at Chen Yiming, Pierre said apologetically: "His Excellency Luo Punov has made it clear to me that in addition to the two aspects of land cutting and compensation, if Da Zhou has other requirements, he will try his best to meet Da Zhou's wishes." ”

Chen Yiming smiled, "Mr. Pierre, do you think that in addition to land cession and compensation, there are other things in the Rus Kingdom that I need in Da Zhou?" ”

Pierre thought about it carefully, and it was indeed as Chen Yiming said, the Great Zhou was vast and had all kinds of mineral resources, and in other respects, the Rus' Kingdom really could not meet the needs of the Great Zhou.

"I have already told you about the actual situation of the Rus Kingdom before, Chen, is there really no other way?"

"It's not like there's no way, it's up to Lopunov to agree or not!" Chen Yiming said.

"What's the solution? Chen, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to persuade Lopunov. ”

"The solution is very simple, that is, for our reasons, we will bid one million taels of silver to buy three million square kilometers of land in Western Siberia of the Rus' state."

"Chen, you're not kidding, are you?" Listening to Chen Yiming's request, Pierre couldn't close his mouth in surprise. You must know that even the area of France itself is less than 600,000 square kilometers.

"Of course!" Chen Yiming waved his hand.

"Chen, I have to say, this request of your Da Zhou is really crazy, and Lopnov will definitely not agree."

"How do you know without asking?" Chen Yiming said disapprerovitically.

"Okay!" Pierre shrugged his shoulders and turned to Lopnov to relay Chen Yiming's words.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Pierre's relay, Lopunov did not burst into a rage, but lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to Pierre: "Your Excellency Pierre, the matter related to Da Zhou's purchase of our country's land can be negotiated. However, the price of buying three million land areas for one million taels of silver is too low, and I hope that Chen can mention the price, so that His Majesty the Emperor of our country can have the possibility of agreeing. ”

Pierre was already numb, he did not expect that Lopnov would actually agree to the request for the transfer of land.

How is this possible?

You know, that's three million square kilometers of land, which is more than five France.

After all, Kolopunov is willing to negotiate on this!

Relaying Lopunov's words, Chen Yiming said with a smile: "Western Siberia is deserted, the climate is extremely harsh, and the price of one million taels of silver is actually a loss for my Great Zhou.

Don't forget, I, Da Zhou, is the victor in this war. ”

"Chen, if it is two million taels of silver, I am sure to convince His Majesty the Emperor of our country, but the price of one million taels of silver, I really don't have this confidence."

Hearing this, Chen Yiming and Xiao Wuzi next to him glanced at each other, and they both saw the irrepressible excitement in each other's eyes.

However, Chen Yiming did not immediately agree, and said: "One million taels of silver is the intention of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and now His Excellency Luopunov's request, I can't agree to it in one go, I need to enter the palace to inform Your Majesty!" ”

"Of course!"

After sending Chen Yiming away, Pierre could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart, and asked directly to Lopunov: "Your Excellency Lopunov, do you really plan to sell the territory of your Rus' country?" ”

"Why not?" Lopunov shrugged his shoulders and said, "I know Your Excellency Pierre, you must think I'm crazy, don't you?" ”

Pierre nodded.

Seeing this, Lopunov smiled and said, "Then Your Excellency Pierre, what do you know about Western Siberia?" ”

When Lopnov asked this, Pierre really couldn't answer for a while.

"In fact, there is nothing in the whole of Western Siberia except the jungle," Lopunov continued. Endless jungle, more than eight months of winter a year, no minerals, no people, then nothing.

In fact, if Da Zhou is willing to buy the entire region of Western Siberia, I will agree. ”

"But will your Emperor agree?" Pierre asked.

"Why don't you agree?" "As long as the price is right, I think His Majesty the Emperor will agree." ”

Seeing that Pierre was still puzzled, Lopunov explained: "Your Excellency, you don't understand, in fact, our Rus' country is very short of money now, if I can facilitate this peace negotiation and get a sum of money for His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely give me a rich reward." ”

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, after Chen Yiming reported the content of today's negotiations, he asked Zhang Lingyang: "Your Majesty, Weichen still doesn't understand, why did the Rus Kingdom agree so easily?" ”

"What's not to understand?" Zhang Lingyang said disapprerovingly, "Western Siberia is of little use to the Rus' country, and the Rus' country is now very short of money, so it is natural to agree to sell the country!" ”

The reason why Zhang Lingyang is so sure is because in the previous life, the Rus' Kingdom sold Alaska in the Americas to the United States for 7.2 million US dollars.

You must know that now the Rus' country is a defeated country, and the country is very short of money, in this case, it is naturally willing to 'sell' its own land at a low price......
