"You!"

The green tendons on Gro's forehead jumped up, he was simply angry, these generals of the Chinese Empire were too presumptuous, too domineering, they were not as good as bandits!

Gro really wanted to throw off his sleeves and go straight back to his legation, but thankfully, he still retained the only shred of sobriety.

"No, you must not make a fuss, once you break up, the matter of heavy machine gun procurement will be even more hopeless, if Your Majesty knows that you have messed things up, don't say that the Minister of the Chinese Empire, even if it is a third-class secretary, it is a luxury......"

Gro put down his feet that had left the ground, looked at Guo Songtao, and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Prime Minister, I am the ambassador of the French Empire, and I am talking to you on behalf of the French Empire, and your subordinates treat me so rudely, which is a great disrespect to our French Empire, and I ask you to restrain the words and deeds of your subordinates!" ”

Guo Songtao shrugged, he was also very dissatisfied with what Ge Luo said just now, "Mr. Ge Luo, I'm sorry, I'm just the prime minister of the Government Council, and I don't have the power to intervene in the affairs of the military circles, the general in front of me is General Zhang Chunping, our acting army commander, he is not within my management, I can't help ...... you."

Forehead......

Gro's face has become a purple eggplant, aggrieved, too aggrieved, it's not Zhang Chunping's words that make people aggrieved, but the Zhang Chunping in front of him is aggrieved! This is Zhang Chunping, the chief of the army who he asked to meet with so hard, what is special, he didn't do any effort, and he offended the main lord first......

"God, can you leave a way for Lao Tzu to live?"

Gro was full of resentment, and kept cursing in his heart, it's too unlucky, how can this field come back, no matter what, if you want to complete the arms procurement case, you will definitely not be able to bypass this acting chief of the Lu Army, as the most prominent general of the army, in matters like military procurement, the voice is extremely heavy, and even has surpassed Guo Songtao, the prime minister!

"Ahem...... Ahh It turned out to be the respected General Commander, this, this, I'm really embarrassed, I was reckless just now, it was what I said that was not considered, please don't mind too much, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

Gro couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, and now he can only throw his old face aside, as long as he can satisfy the acting chief in front of him, he has to endure his special shame, even if he is really slapped in the face, after hitting the left, he still has to put his right face over, there is no way, who let himself be committed in the hands of others?

"Hmph, Mr. Gro, this is the Chinese Empire, not the French Empire, you have to pay attention to what you say, do business with that country, don't do business with which country, that's our freedom, and it's also our freedom to make a loud voice with which country, no one can interfere, no country can control the affairs of the Chinese Empire, understand? In other words, what is the purpose of your request to see the chief three or four times? Do you want me to give you an explanation? ”

Zhang Chunping is not as peaceful as Guo Songtao when he speaks, although his temper is not as irritable as Gao Qi, but he is also notoriously stubborn, and what he is best at is to fight a lawsuit, this mouth can bring the dead to life!

"No, no, no! General Chief, you misunderstood, you misunderstood! ”

Gro hurriedly defended: "I asked to see you, definitely not to ask you for an explanation, but to ask your country's opinion, can you speed up the delivery of heavy machine gun weapons to our French Empire, you also know that now Prussia has millions of soldiers on the Franco-Prussian border, and a large-scale war may break out between the two countries at any time, and even a war that affects the world pattern, Prussia has obtained your country's heavy machine gun weapons, which makes the combat power of the two countries unbalanced, as the ambassador of the Zhu Huaxia Empire, I'm under a lot of pressure in our country......"

"Speed up the delivery of heavy machine-gun weapons?"

Zhang Chunping found a seat and sat down, pinched his chin with his right hand, and thought, "What about this?" But it's not so convenient, you know, Lao Mao Zi launched a large-scale invasion of the Chinese Empire, mobilizing nearly 300,000 troops to invade Guanwai in one go, and our own heavy machine gun weapons are not enough, this problem is very ......tricky."

Gro's heart trembled, and he hurriedly pleaded: "General Chief, General Chief, please be sure to help, we, the monarchs of the French Empire, will remember the ...... of your great friendship."

Zhang Chunping slowly raised his head, glanced at Gro, and said lightly: "Mr. Gro, you must understand that if we sell a large number of heavy machine gun weapons to your country at this juncture, we will face strong diplomatic pressure from Prussia, and it will also seriously affect the cooperative relationship between our empire and the Prussian Empire, and our war with Tsarist Russia will also be affected by the reduction of heavy machine gun weapons." ”

Gro's heart moved, this Zhang Chunping didn't say anything to death, this shows that there is a door, the question is what kind of price he or the French Empire can pay, this Zhang Chunping is going to be sold at a price!

"General Commander, please rest assured, I think our empire will never embarrass your country, in return, the French Empire will stand firmly on your side in international affairs, especially this blatant invasion of the Tsarist Russian Empire, it is really a great condemnation of the world, we are willing to stand with your country, together to put pressure on Alexander II......."

Gro said hurriedly.

"Hmm,"

Zhang Chunping nodded and replied: "Mr. Gro, if you can understand the situation of our empire, this matter is not for me or Mr. Prime Minister to be in charge, we need to report to our Majesty, if we get a clear answer, we are willing to restart negotiations with your country to discuss the possibility of speeding up the delivery of heavy machine gun weapons......"

"Great, General Chief, you are a great friend of our French Empire!"

Gro suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, and patronized Zhang Chunping's sycophants, but he put Guo Songtao, the prime minister, aside, after all, Guo Songtao is the head of the government and the real second person under Guo Ye!

"Of course, hehe, Mr. Chancellor is also a great friend of our French Empire......"

Gro hurriedly added.

Guo Songtao's face was a little unsightly, and he replied lightly: "Okay, Mr. Gro, then you can go back and wait for my news, tomorrow at noon, I will inform you of the results of our discussion, come and send off guests!" ”
