"Your Excellency Lopunov, you should understand that if you don't get certain benefits, Da Zhou will not make peace with the Rus State at all, after all, the war was started by your Rus' State first."

Louis XVIII looked at Lopunov with a very sincere look in his eyes.

Lopunov was obviously unimpressed, and said: "Your Majesty, Dear King of France, I think you are a little worried. The Great Zhou is actually very far away from our Rus' homeland, and without the help of that damn Warat, the Great Zhou would not have been able to launch an attack on the Rus' at all.

The long supply line is the biggest factor restricting the Great Zhou, as long as our Rus' Kingdom is willing to sit down and negotiate with the Great Zhou, I believe that the Great Zhou Emperor will be extremely happy.

Please believe me, in this war, the Great Zhou did not get any benefits, so the benefits were all taken away by Wara, land, gold, silver and jewelry, and of course, the mineral resources of the Far East, all of which were obtained by Wara.

So I think that after the Great Zhou Emperor knew about this, he was afraid that he would not feel comfortable in his heart.

As long as there is good intentions, I think the Great Zhou Emperor will be willing to sit down and negotiate with us.

Of course, this also requires the help of the French Empire.

Your Majesty, as you know, our Rus' Kingdom has no diplomatic relations with the Great Zhou, and as the most staunch ally of the Rus' Kingdom, I think that Your Majesty the King will not refuse to help us! ”

"Of course!" Louis XVIII shrugged his shoulders and said, "The French Empire has always been the staunchest ally of the Rus' country, and as the king of France, I will definitely not watch the Rus' country continue like this." ”

Saying this, Louis XVIII scolded Alexander II and Lopunov half to death. If the request of the Rus' state is agreed and the armistice negotiations between the Rus' state and the Great Zhou are arranged, the French Empire may end up in a thankless end.

After all, if the Rus' state did not concede even the slightest benefit, then Da Zhou would most likely refuse to negotiate an armistice.

But if Louis XVIII does not agree to make a deal, then maybe Lopunov will leave Paris tomorrow and go to London, the capital of England, to seek help from England, which is not what Louis XVIII wants to see.

It would be a terrible thing for France to end up in the arms of England, so Louis XVIII had to accede to the Rus' request.

Of course, even if he agreed, Louis XVIII had to give Lopnov a precautionary shot in advance, "Our French Empire is only trying to broker an armistice between your country and Da Zhou, as for the final result, I don't dare to guarantee that all this still needs the efforts of Your Excellency Lopnov." ”

"Of course!" Lopunov nodded, "Thank you for your help, the Rus' country is grateful." ”

"So be it!" After thinking about it, Louis XVIII said: "Last year, our French Empire and the Great Zhou formally established diplomatic relations, and now we need to send an ambassador to the Great Zhou to be stationed in the Great Zhou, it is estimated that we will leave for the Great Zhou in the next few days, if Your Excellency Lopnov is willing, you can go to the Great Zhou with this envoy to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou, I don't know what Your Excellency thinks?" ”

"It couldn't be better!" Lopunov was excited. You know, the Warats are now harassing the settlements of the Rus' state in Western Siberia every day, which can be described as very annoying. The Great Zhou did not sign an armistice agreement with the Rus' State for a day, but he was afraid that the Warats would not stop harassing the Rus' State for a day.

Therefore, signing an armistice agreement with Da Zhou as soon as possible is Lopunov's top priority.

Seeing that Lopnov agreed, Louis XVIII immediately ordered the chamberlain at the Palace of Versailles to call Pierre, the newly appointed French diplomatic ambassador to Da Zhou, and asked him to discuss the specific details.

Pierre has been back and forth many times, and it can be said that among the officials in France, he knows the most about Da Zhou. So naturally, Pierre became the best choice for the French ambassador to Da Zhou.

Although many officials of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs are very yearning for the rich Great Zhou, they have dug through their minds to persuade the bigwigs above to send them to the Great Zhou.

But the customs of the Great Zhou are different from those of Europe, if they cause trouble in the Great Zhou, or commit taboos that should not be committed, then the result will be bad.

Therefore, even though the competition for the candidate for ambassador to Da Zhou is very fierce, Pierre, who has been between Da Zhou and France for many years, has become the best choice for the French ambassador to Da Zhou.

"What kind of country is Da Zhou?" As soon as he saw Pierre, Lopunov asked.

For the rich Great Zhou, Lopnov has also heard about it for a long time, saying that he doesn't want to see the exotic customs of the Great Zhou earlier, which is false.

"It was a civilized, rich country!" Pierre's words were full of wistfulness, and he finally added: "Richer and more civilized than any other country in Europe!" ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Lopnov said sourly.

"You'll know when you get to Da Zhou!" Pierre smirked disappreciatively.

Just as many Chinese people in later generations were slightly inferior in the face of Europe and the United States, Pierre was also slightly inferior in the face of the Great Zhou.

Pierre envied the wealth of the Great Zhou, and even more envied the civilization of the Great Zhou.

Compared with the Great Zhou, Europe at this time can be said to be a barbaric land.

Perhaps, Europe's industry is very advanced, but in terms of political system, Europe is very backward.

As early as more than 1,000 years ago, the Great Zhou began to implement the civil system, but in today's Europe, it is still the aristocracy that is in charge.

And the aristocracy itself is actually not as good as later generations boasted, in this era, they are synonymous with barbarism in the minds of ordinary people.

This is also the reason why so many experts and scholars from major European academies are willing to travel thousands of miles to Dazhou.

Because in the Great Zhou, they really felt the civility and politeness there.

"The Great Zhou is not only rich and civilized, but also the people there behave elegantly, and their words and deeds are indescribably beautiful. And they are also very disciplined in dealing with people, and their clothes are also very gorgeous, especially in the south of the Great Zhou, the scenery is picturesque, and they only stay there for a few days, and they have the idea of being willing to stay there for the rest of their lives. ”

When describing the Great Zhou, Pierre's eyes were shining, as if he were in heaven.

"Are you exaggerating that much?" "Is it more beautiful than Paris?" ”

Paris is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, which is why Lopnov asked this question.

Pierre pursed his lips disapprovingly and said, "Paris is placed in Da Zhou, just like a small county town. ”<
