"General Commander, your request is too outrageous, let Tsarist Russia cede the whole of Eastern Siberia? That Alexander II will be burned with you, they will never succumb to pressure, even if we are completely on your side, they will have absolutely no chance of giving in! ”

Gro exaggerated, he knew deep down that the Russians had the most primitive desire for land, and for even a little bit of land they could fight a duel with anyone or any country, let alone millions of square kilometers of land, which was simply impossible!

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about it, it's not up to the Russians to have the final say now, after the spring of next year, we will have 300,000 troops in Eastern Siberia, but we want to see what Alexander II can do!" Is it true that he has sent out a nationwide army to fight us? If that is the case, our Chinese People's Army is willing to accompany us, and in this land of East Asia, no army is our opponent! ”

Zhang Chunping replied proudly.

Yes, Zhang Chunping has such confidence, after this war, the first, second, third, seventh and cavalry corps, a total of five corps have undergone a huge test, all the new armies in the five legions have all grown up, as long as the scale of army recruitment is expanded, it is completely possible to expand the main force of the Chinese People's Army to more than 300,000 again in a short period of time, and it is also an elite division, even if the Russian army comes, it will be the same result, that is, it will return! Without more than half a million troops, do not have the illusion of being able to gain the upper hand in this war!

However, did the Tsarist Empire have so many elites? The answer is undoubtedly no, the Russian army does have a million troops, but only five or six hundred thousand of them can be regarded as elite, equipped with complete firearms and equipment, and the other second-line armies do not even have muskets, they can only use sabers or even spears to make up the numbers, and then mobilize 500,000 elite soldiers from Eastern Europe, it is impossible to think about it, but the materials consumed can consume Tsarist Russia to death!

Gro is in trouble now, if he really wants to help the Chinese Empire occupy Eastern Siberia, then France and Tsarist Russia will have a mortal enmity, a mortal enmity that does not share the sky......

"What? Mr. Minister, have questions? Lao Tzu didn't let you use a single gun, but just asked your government to issue a telegram to support our Chinese Empire to recover Eastern Siberia, is it so difficult? You know, Lao Tzu even handed over the heavy machine gun weapons installed in the Chinese People's Army to you! If you don't want to do it, let's just shoot it off! ”

Zhang Chunping said coldly.

"This, General Chief, I need to ask our Emperor for instructions, after all, it involves the major interests of a third country, and I must obtain the authorization of His Majesty the Emperor!"

Gro replied with difficulty.

Zhang Chunping nodded and replied: "Mr. Gro, you have to think about it, I will only start this negotiation, after this village there will be no such shop, at this time, is the interests of your country important or the interests of Tsarist Russia?" Even if Tsarist Russia loses Eastern Siberia, they still have vast lands in Central Siberia and Western Siberia, although there are a lot of these lands, they are only a quarter of their territory, but if you lose the war with Prussia, it may be that the whole territory will fall, the greedy and arrogant Prussians will even occupy your Paris, and all the French people will be under the enslavement of the German nation! ”

Zhang Chunping flickered on the side, for the French, not to mention being enslaved by the German nation, even if they lose France's hegemonic position in Europe, they will never be able to tolerate it!

Gro gritted his teeth and replied, "General Chief, you must always give me space and time to think, this matter is really embarrassing......

Now Gro is not Zhang Chunping stumped at all, Guo Songtao on the side shook his head, just in confusion, this Zhang Chunping should have been a stinky and hard stone, when he first met him, it was because he couldn't get along with his boss and colleagues, and was driven out of Shandong's green battalion system, now it's okay, this guy is good at dancing with long sleeves, doing things left and right, and he is completely a different person, especially in foreign affairs, often talking about those foreigners who are dizzy, it's really incredible.

In the end, Gro still consulted Napoleon III, who was far away in Paris, and obtained Napoleon III's authorization.

For the current Napoleon III, a large number of heavy machine guns are the most important, now the French Empire is not safe, who cares about the life and death of the Russian Empire, you know, the Prussian army's combat power is getting stronger and stronger, the more than 2,000 heavy machine guns for the French army, is a nightmare, a real nightmare, now several military fortresses on the Franco-Prussian border are completely guarded by the heavy machine gun battalions of the Prussian army, surrounded by wind and rain, the French army can not rush through at all, if a real war breaks out, the French army can only be beaten passively!

Napoleon readily agreed to the terms, the interest on the loan? It's not a big deal, it's a big deal to use the future taxes of several banks as a deduction; Sell an old heavy machine gun as a new one? It's not a thing, as long as it can be used normally, is there a difference between the old and the new? Even if it's all old, it can give me three or four thousand, and it can still crush the Prussian army on the battlefield! As for standing on the side of the Chinese Empire in future negotiations, this is undoubtedly confirmed, isn't it just waving the flag and shouting, how can this be, is it possible that Tsarist Russia still dares to bite itself at this time, if the Chinese People's Army really defeats the Russian army, then the Russian army will suddenly lose 300,000 elite troops, who will be afraid of them?

No matter which condition can cause substantial damage to France, with a small loss in exchange for the most needed heavy machine gun firepower today, that is really earned! As long as he defeats Prussia and protects France's hegemony on the European continent, whatever, it's a big deal to get it back in the future!

Napoleon III had no opinions, and Gro naturally had no other opinions, and signed a supplementary treaty with Zhang Chunping very happily and formed a new cooperation.

However, the French were happy, but the Prussians were quite dissatisfied, such contracts and arms deals could not be concealed from Prussian intelligence officers, and soon Kaiser Wilhelm II summoned Shi Dakai, who was stationed in Berlin, to express to Shi Dakai that he was dissatisfied with the early completion of the arms deal with the French by the Chinese Empire!

"Dear Monsieur Marquis, I would like to express my grave dissatisfaction and protest against this behavior of your country, when there is a tension between the French and the French, you are going to sell large-scale heavy machine gun weapons to France in advance, and you are treating your old friend like this!"
