Chapter 997: Uncooperative
Gobard said, "Speak, Great President! β
Li Zhen said: "Britain has established a base in India and used India as a stronghold, on the one hand, it is doing business on a large scale, and on the other hand, it is constantly expanding its territory. But by now, there has been a huge bottleneck. For example, the ban on opium in China had a great impact on British finances. Another example is that because France also has a certain amount of power on the peninsula, Britain wants to continue to expand, but it is powerless. Another example is the rapid development of China's weapons, but the United Kingdom has not improved much. β
Li Zhen said with a smile: "I can help solve the problems encountered by Britain in India, or the problems encountered by Britain." β
Gobard asked, "What does the president mean by selling opium in China?" β
"Of course not!" Li Zhen shook his head categorically and said: "The British themselves ban such things as opium, don't I understand the harm of opium?" However, that doesn't mean the rest of the countries don't want it. For example, Russia in the north, or the United States in the distance, or even South America, Australia and other places, there are many indigenous people in these places, why not try it? β
"Rest assured, President, we will make it happen," Gobard said. β
Li Zhen said again: "Speaking of weapons, Your Excellency should know that the machine guns used by the soldiers in our army are definitely the most powerful weapons at present. I believe that Your Excellency is curious about such a devastating weapon, and would like to bring it back to England to study. It's okay, we can still work together. β
When Gobard heard this, he even became short of breath.
When it comes to weapons, it's not a simple matter.
If you can take the technology mastered by Li Zhen, it will definitely be a great achievement.
Gobard said: "What does the president want? β
Li Zhen said: "I want the sovereign power of Vietnam!" β
Gobard immediately said: "This is very difficult, the president should understand that it is not only I, Britain, who want to divide the interests of Vietnam, but eight countries, and even if I agree, the rest will not agree." In the case of France, they will certainly not agree. β
After finishing speaking, Gobard stared at Li Zhen with burning eyes, paying attention to the change in Li Zhen's expression.
Li Zhen was amused in his heart, the old guy actually came to touch his bottom line.
Li Zhen said: "Your Excellency is wrong, this matter is actually very easy. The next time the formation of a Vietnamese government was discussed, Your Excellency made it clear that you supported me, while the rest of the countries acted according to the face of Britain, and as long as Your Excellency supported it, everything would be easy, and they did not dare to insist on it. Take France as an example, the French envoy Frankfurt has no opinion, and the French commander Rachel is timid and afraid, as long as Your Excellency supports me in ruling Vietnam, they will not dare to oppose it, what do you think? β
Gobard nodded, but was already in a dilemma.
After half a ring, Gobard made a decision, and Gobard said, "President, I have decided not to trade with you!" β
"Oh, why?" Li Zhen asked disappointedly.
Gobard smiled coldly and said, "The great president only used a little machine gun technology to take the country of Vietnam." Once you take control of Vietnam, it is equivalent to planting a nail in the peninsula, which will affect the situation on the peninsula at any time. Whether it is the west of Vietnam, or the east of Vietnam, or the south of Vietnam, it will be affected by the radiation of the president. β
Li Zhen said: "The area controlled by the British is India and its surroundings. I control Vietnam, does it have an impact on the British? I don't think it will matter, we can still work together. β
"Seek skin with the tiger, don't do it!"
"Have you thought it through?"
"I think about it very clearly, cooperating with someone like the president is absolutely harmful and not beneficial, and I am afraid that I will have to help the number of people if I am sold, I will never do such a thing."
Li Zhen laughed and said, "Lift, lift, Your Excellency thinks too highly of Li." β
Gobard said solemnly: "Originally, I wanted the commanders and envoys of the eight countries to persuade the president, but now it seems that this plan must be canceled. Once it is carried out, I am afraid that it will not be us who will persuade the president, but who will be persuaded by the president. β
"Farewell!"
With that, Gobard got up and left.
Li Zhen had a contemplative expression on his face, thinking that this old guy was too cautious.
What if you can't take Gobard?
Li Zhen thought about the solution, and a smile quickly appeared on his face, and he thought of a solution.
After Gobard went back, in front of everyone, he snorted angrily: "Li Zhen is too difficult, this guy is as cunning as a fox, and he also persuaded me to cooperate with him in turn, intending to make me turn against the water." β
"Your Excellency, did Li Zhen persuade you too?" Rankfurt asked.
Gobard asked, "Did he persuade you?" β
Rankford replied: "When I talked to Li Zhen, Li Zhen persuaded me to cooperate with him, but I did not agree. Li Zhen is a fierce tiger, and cooperating with Li Zhen is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, and I dare not accept his conditions. β
Gobard said: "Your Excellency is smart, and it is very dangerous to cooperate with Li Zhen. β
After a pause, Gobard said, "Next, we will cancel the arrangement to persuade Li Zhen. Let's discuss first, and then start to negotiate the formation of the Vietnamese government again. This matter cannot be delayed, and must be resolved as soon as possible. β
The people discussed the formation of a Vietnamese government, and then they dispersed and returned to their lodgings.
Two days later, in the main hall.
People from all over the world gathered to discuss the formation of a Vietnamese government.
Dressed in a military uniform and with an extraordinary bearing, Li Zhen took the lead in saying: "Today, we are once again discussing the formation of a Vietnamese government. Let me start by saying that the formation of the Vietnamese government must listen to the opinions of the Vietnamese holders. Nguyen Le LαΊ‘n, as the princess of Vietnam, she is the heir of Vietnam, and her words are authoritative. Now, Nguyen Le Le Le has entrusted me with full authority to handle the affairs of Vietnam, and it should be up to me to decide. β
"I disagree!"
Gobard stood up and retorted loudly.
"As for the formation of Vietnam, according to the provisions of the treaty, it was agreed by the nine countries together," Gobard said. β
Li Zhen said with a smile: "I acted in accordance with the Nine-Power Treaty, and the formation of the Vietnamese government was led by China, which I represented, and the countries represented here only assisted me, which was equivalent to acting as a staff officer." Isn't this something that the nine nations discussed together? β
Gobard was so angry that his face turned red and he spoke out against it.
His eyes looked at Rankfort, Ma Hui and others, and kept gesturing with his eyes, asking these people to stand up and refute.
The corners of Li Zhen's mouth hooked up a smile, and he said unhurriedly: "Your Excellency Gobard, those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. Your approach to dividing the people is unpopular, and no one supports you. After a pause, Li Zhen looked at Rankfort and asked, "Your Excellency Rankfort, what do you think should be done about the formation of the Vietnamese government?" Just say, don't worry. β
Rankfurt said: "I support the president!" β
"Ahh
Gobard was stunned for a moment, with an incredulous expression on his face.
Rankfurt didn't cooperate with Li Zhen, why did he suddenly change his mind and support Li Zhen?
