When his subordinates brought the news of Minister Hua Ruohan's visit, Guo Ye was chatting with Prince Gong in the mansion.

When King Gong heard the news of the arrival of the American Minister Hua Ruohan, he was stunned and looked at Guo Ye suspiciously.

Guo Ye smiled faintly and replied: "Lord Wang, look, my backhand has arrived, this is our reinforcement, haha, whether it can be done or not depends on them." ”

King Gong was overjoyed when he heard this, and exclaimed: "Haha, Guo Ye, when did you establish such a deep friendship with the American minister?" In the future, diplomacy with the Americans will all be on your shoulders! ”

Guo Ye smiled: "Okay, Lord Wang, now is not the time to talk about this, let's welcome people in first." ”

The two men welcomed Warren and Colt in.

Hua Ruohan laughed and said, "Dear Guo, this time I breathed a sigh of relief for you!" ”

Guo Ye smiled: "What's the matter, Mr. Hua Ruohan?" ”

When Guo Ye's standard English came out, it immediately aroused Colt's strong interest, and it was surprising that the young Oriental in front of him had fluent English! This is very rare in the conservative and closed old China!

Hua Ruohan replied: "Do you know that just before I came to you, I had directly approached Ergin and Gro, and directly lodged a solemn protest with them, but you are our Americans' most honorable friend, they want to kill you, that is delusional, as friends, we Americans will never agree!" ”

Prince Gong on the side? Shocked when he heard this, since the note came out, he has basically been with Guo Ye all the time. There is no separation at all. That is to say. This Hua Ruohan didn't get Guo Ye's request at all, so he went directly to the door! It can be imagined what status Guo Ye has in their hearts!

Guo Ye didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "Hehe, then I have to thank Mr. Hua Ruohan for his kindness, why, they didn't trouble you, right?" ”

Hua Ruohan replied: "Of course they will not accept my protest and directly refuse me. However, when I showed the hole cards I had prepared, they lost their temper when they landed, and it was really exciting to see the overlords of the two worlds suffering in my hands! Ahaha......"

Yixin hurriedly asked: "Hole cards, what hole cards?" ”

Hua Ruohan smiled mysteriously and replied, "I told the two of them that if they insist on killing Guo Ye, then sell the rifles and artillery produced in the United States to Guo Ye." As long as Guo Ye gets a large amount of arms, he will clean up their coalition army of more than 10,000 people. Isn't that hand-to-hand? I know very well that in the Tongxian area, Guo Ye only led an army of more than 1,000 people equipped with firearms, plus some traditional cavalry, and he had already defeated the British and French forces! ”

Yixin was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Good! Good! Mr. Hua Ruohan, you are worthy of being a good friend of our Great Qing Kingdom, this king thank you, these weapons, you see, when will you be able to provide them to our court? ”

Hua Ruohan smiled embarrassedly, and said unnaturally: "Lord, this question is not easy to answer now, I only made this decision to protect Guo Ye, our government has received huge diplomatic pressure from Britain and France, that is, before the war is completely over, our arms cannot be delivered to your country again, this, please forgive me......"

Prince Gong's face turned dark, what a shame, this guy is actually making fun of Lao Tzu!

Guo Ye on the side saw that it was not good, and hurriedly smiled: "Lord Wang, this matter can be let go first, what we need to do now is to let Britain and France withdraw their troops, as for the matter of arms, we will talk about it later, we will always get it!" ”

Yixin's face was a little ugly, and he sighed and replied: "Guo Ye, since this is the case, this king will not disturb the conversation between you, and wait for this king to entertain Mr. Minister well." ”

Guo Ye hurriedly said: "Okay, then I'll send it to the prince!" ”

After sending Yixin away and Guo Ye came back again, Hua Ruohan completely opened the conversation, after all, with Prince Gong by his side, some in-depth cooperation is inconvenient to talk.

Hua Ruohan said anxiously: "Guo Ye, come, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Colt, the most famous arms dealer in our United States and a famous ordnance expert!" Mr. Colt, this is the General Guo Ye I mentioned to you! ”

Guo Ye stretched out his hand and shook Colt, and said with a smile: "Dear Mr. Colt, welcome to China, I have been famous for the Colt pistol you developed for a long time, haha!" ”

Colt was shocked, the Colt pistol is his proud work, and it is also the proudest product of his life, so that he has gained fame and fortune, I didn't expect this Chinese general to know the Colt pistol!

Colt hurriedly asked: "General Guo Ye, hello, you also know my Colt revolver?" ”

Guo Ye laughed and said, "Mr. Colt, do you know why I was promoted from a soldier to a general in just one year? ”

Colt shook his head blankly, and even Hua Ruohan looked at it, wanting to ask what was going on.

At this time, Nie Sheng, who was standing on the side, said proudly: "Because when we were at Dagukou, our lord saw the Colt pistol of Lord Shi Rongchun, the commander of Zhili at that time, dismantled the pistol for him in an instant, and then repaired the fault inside, and finally quickly assembled, and a shot broke our clothesline nearly 100 steps away. ”

Colt blinked his eyes vigorously, shook his head, and replied: "If there are people in the United States who can quickly disassemble and assemble Colt pistols, I also believe that in China, it is simply impossible, because this kind of gun has never been sold publicly in China, and there will be no more than fifty Colt pistols in the whole of China!" You were just a soldier at the time, how could you be so familiar with a Colt pistol? ”

Guo Ye smiled: "What, Mr. Colt doesn't believe it? I wonder if you have a Colt pistol with you now? ”

Colt hesitated, took out a revolver from his bosom, and said, "This is my latest improved Colt revolver......"

Guo Ye took it and said: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a revolver that you improved in 1855, well, this pistol, what should be on the market, the US Guard is not estimated to be equipped on a large scale......

Saying this, Guo Ye's hand had already moved, and in the blink of an eye, almost in the blink of an eye, a new Colt pistol had become a pile of parts!

Guo Ye smiled: "Haha, Mr. Colt is worthy of being an expert in pistols, this gun is quite well maintained, let me disassemble it, and save a lot of effort......"
