After listening to Fisher's words, Balfour shook his head again and again, and said: "No, no, since Zhang Yi was forced to agree to the German Empire, it will be difficult to break the contract, unless there is a good reason, or to force Germany to take the initiative to make concessions, only in this way can this transaction be prevented, only the Empire will come forward, it is very difficult!" ”

Edward VII looked at Balfour and asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Balfour?" ”

Balfour said in a deep voice: "The old way, now it is not only the British Empire that wants to order planes, but also other powers, and we can only bring Germany into submission if we unite with other countries to exert pressure!" ”

"Joint pressure? How to exert joint pressure? ”

Edward and Fisher all looked at Belfort.

Balfour replied: "Yesterday there was a big misunderstanding between China and France, as the host, Your Majesty can invite all countries to the dinner in the name of the royal family, nominally in the middle of the reconciliation, contact the misunderstanding between China and France, so that the dignitaries of various countries will definitely arrive, just above the dinner, we suddenly made a difficulty, poked out the news, and put pressure on the Kaiser!" ”

Edward nodded and said, "Okay, just do what you want?" The coordination between the dignitaries of various countries is also up to Mr. Prime Minister......"

The next day, all the dignitaries of various countries received invitations from the British royal family, inviting them to attend the grand dinner on time, and also mediated the misunderstanding between China and France.

After Zhang Yi received the invitation, he smiled faintly and said: "Hehe, okay, the fish is hooked, Hongmen Banquet, it's a pity that Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng, Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, how do these characters match?" ”

Zhang Xiaohua on the side said with a smile: "I don't know if there is a show of Xiangzhuang Sword Dance." ”

A few people laughed.

Time passed quickly, with the arrival of the evening, dignitaries from various countries came to the palace successively to attend the dinner, Zhang Yi with Zhang Xiaohuai, Zhang Yihu and Wang Haonan also arrived.

A grand dinner for dozens of people kicked off at the palace, where Edward gave a speech, followed by a story about the misunderstanding between China and France. I hope that the two countries will be reconciled.

Zhang Yi and Lubé shook hands with each other under the attention of everyone, which can be regarded as turning hostility into friendship, but France's sullen loss can be regarded as a certainty, even if they want to get it back in the future, it is difficult!

Immediately afterwards, everyone exchanged pleasantries. Greet each other.

Towards the end of the dinner, Balfour made a gesture towards Nicholas II. Signaling Nicholas II to speak.

Nicholas II understood that this matter had already been communicated.

Nicholas II stood up, coughed, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, today is a very happy day, all friends are sincere and harmonious, but today I am going to sweep your interest!" ”

Everyone listened to it. Look at Nicholas II.

Nicholas II said in a loud voice: "Yesterday, President Zhang Yi officially announced to the dignitaries of various countries that he will sell planes to the world, and everyone knows it. Originally, His Majesty Edward was going to discuss this matter after the press, and everyone dispersed yesterday. However, this morning, I received definite information that yesterday evening, His Majesty Emperor Wilhelm II made a surprise visit to the Legation of the Republic of China. Exerted tremendous pressure on President Zhang Yi to force the Republic of China to sell fifty planes to the German Empire! Fifty planes, that's a third of the total number of planes sold, William, the most expensive emperor, I need a reasonable explanation from you. I think all of you here also need a reasonable explanation from you! ”

In an instant, the banquet hall fell silent, everyone looked at each other, Wilhelm II and Zhang Yi also changed their faces greatly, oh no, the news still leaked out!

Wilhelm II secretly cursed in his heart that he was unlucky, this Nicholas was simply a disaster. If you have a chance, you have to clean up a good meal in Tsarist Russia!

However, now that the news has been poked out, what else can be done in front of everyone's eyes?

Before Wilhelm II could speak, Lubé stood up first, good guy, eat fifty fighters in one go, the Republic of China has already beaten Japan to the ground with only twenty or thirty fighters, once the Germans are equipped with fifty fighters, then as neighbors, where can the French sleep?

Lubé shouted: "Your Excellency William II, Your Excellency Zhang Yi, I need you to give me a clear explanation, your deal will seriously threaten the homeland security of our France!" I am categorically against it! ”

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly, stretched out his hands towards Lu Bei, signaling that he could not do anything, and Wilhelm II on the side stood up and shouted: "Yes, our German Empire just wants the Republic of China to order fifty planes, if they still have surplus, Lao Tzu still wants to order eighty planes in one go!" What's the matter, this is a deal between us and the Republic of China, Lubé, what's in your way? If you have the ability, you can also come up with enough francs to purchase a hundred, and I have no opinion! ”

Eighty!

At this moment, even Edward and Balfour's faces have changed, damn it, didn't yesterday's intelligence say that there were fifty fights, damn it, fortunately I knew the news in advance, otherwise this loss would have been a big loss!

Fisher, who was on the side, also stood up and said: "His Majesty Wilhelm II, you are going to eat half of the number of fighters in one go, damn it, where do you let us buy a hundred planes?" ”

Wilhelm II said coldly: "I'm sorry, as for where you want to buy, it's not up to me, even if you go to Malaysia to buy, it has nothing to do with me!" ”

I'm going, Malaysia? Not to mention airplanes, it's just that can't even produce cannons!

Everyone present was pale, they were really angry with Wilhelm II, and they all stood up and accused Wilhelm II of ignoring international rules and trying to provoke a world war.

Can Wilhelm II say that in Iron Blood, he will not be able to withstand the attack of so many dignitaries present! Coryfin on the side was sweating like rain, his face was pale, it was too shocking!

At this time, Edward VII stood up, sighed and said: "Wilhelm, dear cousin, now that all countries are full of indignation against Germany, you still give way, even if you can order thirty planes, that is almost the most countries!" ”

Wilhelm II snorted coldly and did not speak, after all, he resisted hard, and the pressure was too great.

Balfour said suddenly: "Otherwise, let's do it this way, if Zhang Jianzhi can provide more planes, we can also be accommodating, what do you think?" ”

Everyone looked at Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that just one decision of mine would bring such a big dispute to the countries of the world, but my sin is ......"
