Ye Shaolong's purpose is very clear, that is, to ship, of course, the more the better. The question now is how to convince Sterhao Ran to hand over the warship to himself.

Sure enough, when Ster Haoran heard Ye Shaolong mention the warship, he immediately fell silent. The only shortcoming of Yejiabao today is that there are no warships, and it can be said that this part of the sea is the only shortcoming of Yejiabao today.

It is also the most beneficial side of the foreigners to Yejiabao, once the Yejiabao army has warships and develops a navy at sea, it will inevitably pose a great threat to the foreigners.

And the Dutch state that has Ste Haoran in this negotiation will also be affected, although they hope that Yejiabao can defeat the Seven Nations Alliance this time.

But they actually wanted to take advantage of this to make the Yejiabao army suffer a heavy setback, after all, the cooperation was only temporary, and the Netherlands would still be Ye Shaolong's enemy in the future.

After thinking for a while, Stern Haoran shook his head very resolutely and said, "Dear Ye Shuai, we can't do anything about your request. There are only a few of our warships, and there is nothing extra for you to sell. ”

Stern Haoran replied very resolutely, which made Ye Shaolong unhappy in his heart, and even lowered his face: "Could it be that Mr. Haoran is really unwilling to take out a few warships?" You must know that the Seven-Nation Alliance will not only attack from land, they will inevitably attack us along with the navy. ”

"And on the sea, you should also know that at present, our Yejiabao army is blank on the sea. If the Seven-Nation Alliance attacks from the sea, we will definitely lose. Therefore, if you don't want the Seven-Nation Alliance to profit and grow bigger in this campaign, you should show some sincerity. ”

Ye Shaolong tried his best to persuade patiently, he didn't want a great opportunity to slip away from under his nose like this.

A hesitant look appeared on Stern Haoran's face, Ye Shaolong's words were reasonable, obviously if he didn't send a ship to Ye Shaolong, with Ye Jiabao's current sea strength, he would obviously not be able to resist the navy of the Seven Nations Alliance.

After weighing it again, Sterhao Ran spoke: "I can't be the master of this matter now, and I must wait until I go back and ask the marshal before I can decide." Please give me three days, and if you don't give me after three days, you will give Ye Shuai an answer. ”

When it comes to success or failure, St Haoran has no power to decide anything.

Ye Shaolong nodded understandingly: "Yes, if you agree, when you send the ship, please send the weapons and ammunition together." ”

Stern Haoran nodded affirmatively: "This is natural, then we have settled on it for the time being, please wait for my news." ”

Sterhao seemed to be in a hurry, and he was about to leave as soon as the matter was settled. Ye Shaolong wanted to keep him, entertain him, and pull his feelings by the way, but because Ster Haoran was anxious, he sent him away.

The Seven Nations Alliance was coming to attack him, and Ye Shaolong's heart was turbulent. I have always thought that Yejiabao is developing in a low-key manner, but I didn't expect to be targeted by foreigners.

Yejiabao has just improved a little, and he is about to face such a severe test. If it weren't for this luck, the Eight-Nation Coalition would have started infighting among themselves.

He had only learned the news of this first, if he was attacked by the Seven Nations Alliance without preparation. Yejiabao is bound to be more auspicious, and it is very likely that the good momentum of hard work will turn into ashes in an instant.

This matter cannot be underestimated, after Ye Shaolong sent away Ste Haoran, he immediately urgently convened all the generals in Yejiabao's army to discuss how to deal with it.

In the evening of the same day, all Yejiabao generals rushed to Yejiabao after taking the lead and gathered together.

Su Can was the farthest away from Tianjin City, so he was naturally the last to come. And with him came a**, the two of them suddenly received a summons from Ye Shaolong, and they didn't know what it was for?

Tie Tower, Li Chengke, Xiao Dashan, and several lieutenant generals in the army were all seated. Later, Su Can and ** also found a place to sit down by themselves.

Ye Shaolong, who was sitting on the first seat, swept his eyes over the people present one by one, coughed lightly and said, "Everyone is here." ”

Tie Ta was the first to respond: "It's here, Ye Shuai!" ”

Ye Shaolong nodded, was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "This time we hurriedly summoned everyone to come to the gathering, and we have a big event to announce. ”

Everyone here had all kinds of expressions, and some of them knew what was going on, but their faces were full of worry. Those who didn't know had a solemn face, and the entire hall was suddenly filled with a tense atmosphere.

After a little consideration, Ye Shaolong said bluntly: "In the morning, a foreigner came to Yejiabao, who claimed to be a Dutch businessman. The purpose of coming is to cooperate with ....... ”

Before Ye Shaolong's words were finished, Su Can suddenly stood up, pointed at Ye Shaolong and said angrily: "What is there to cooperate with those foreigners, you should come and kill one by one." ”

Su Can was so reckless, Ye Shaolong was not polite to him, he immediately threw it with a sharp look, and then said coldly: "Brother Su will listen to me first." ”

Li Chengke, who happened to be sitting next to him, stretched out his hand to pull him to sit down, and Ye Shaolong continued: "This person was sent by the Dutch side, and he represents the official. He brought us news that in the near future, the Eight-Nation Coalition will come to besiege us. ”

As soon as Ye Shaolong's words came out, there were bursts of whispers from below.

"Ahem!"

Coughing lightly twice to stop everyone's talk, Ye Shaolong continued: "This news is very reliable at present, and the Dutch representative who brought us the news means to cooperate with us. But there will not be a single soldier, only supplies and weapons and ammunition will be provided to us. ”

Su Can stood up again and said, "Why does that foreigner want to cooperate with us? ”

In order to save trouble, Ye Shaolong simply told everything at once.

Then, he asked everyone present: "The Seven Nations Alliance cannot be underestimated, if nothing else, at least tens of thousands of troops will come." And this does not include the navy at sea, if the sea power of the Seven-Nation Alliance is strong, it will be difficult for our Tianjin city to hold on. ”

While speaking, Ye Shaolong always looked at **, obviously, this part of the sea depends on **. Ye Shaolong naturally wanted to hear what he had to do to defuse the Seven Nations Alliance.

** Frowning and silent, his navy has not yet had time to be formed, but it is about to face such a challenge, it can be said that there is no hope of victory at all.

After thinking about it for a long time, ** sighed and replied: "Ye Shuai, now we want ships without ships, we want people without people, and there is no way to resist the fleet of the Seven Nations Alliance at sea." ”

Ye Shaolong naturally understood the plight of **, nodded and said: "I don't need you to beat the fleet of the Seven Nations Alliance, I just need you to be able to resist them until we repel the Seven Nations Alliance on land." ”
