Not long after, Gobard, Ma Hui, Rawell and others joined forces to enter Li Zhen's camp.

Li Zhen waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, his eyes stayed on Rayel's body for a moment, and then fell on Gobad's body, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gobad, the lineup of the Eight-Nation Alliance's attack on Vietnam this time is really strong." There are nearly 10,000 troops in the army of the Eight Nations, and many of the people who lead the troops are familiar faces who have dealt with me before. ”

There was a hint of banter in his tone.

Gobard smirked, his face dark, this time the defeat had lost all his face!

Lady's face was hot and embarrassed.

The same was true of Adams, the commander of the British army, who had said he would never stay in China, but now he came again.

And, this time again, it failed!

Fairy and Adams both suffered big losses at the hands of Li Zhen and were tossed to death by Li Zhen. Now, when the two of them saw Li Zhen again, they saw Li Zhen when the army was defeated, and they had mixed feelings in their hearts, saying how uncomfortable they were, how uncomfortable they were, and they couldn't wait to dig a hole in the ground. Fortunately, Gobard knew the embarrassment of the two, and interjected: "President, we are here this time to ask the President to send troops to help attack Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong in Vietnam and get rid of this scourge." ”

"Alas, it's difficult!"

Li Zhen sighed lightly, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Seeing this, Gobard secretly cursed the old fox in his heart, knowing that Li Zhen was waiting for him to answer.

Adams and Rewell looked at each other, and both thought to themselves that Gobard had been planted.

Li Zhen's appearance is definitely about to open his mouth.

Gobard knew Li Zhen's thoughts, but he had no choice, so he could only continue to ask: "President, if you have anything difficult, just say it, let's discuss it." If you can help, you will do your best. ”

Li Zhen had a helpless expression and sighed: "Since entering Vietnam, the domestic food and money can't keep up!" Nowadays, the army is short of food, and the soldiers eat one meal a day, and they are so hungry that their faces are yellow and thin, and they are all tightening their stomachs to live. Moreover, the soldiers of the army have not been paid for two months. Now the brothers are holding on, and I don't know when, the army may disperse, and then withdraw to Guangxi. ”

Li Zhen frowned, and his face was bitter, as if he was really facing a desperate situation.

"Shameless, shameless!" Gobard cursed in his heart.

His eyes were rolling slightly, and he muttered in his heart: "The soldiers of your army are all red-faced, raising their heads and chests, talking and laughing, where does it seem that they lack food and clothing, and where do they seem to be about to collapse?" ”

Shameless!

No matter how much resentment Gobard has in his heart, he can only hide it.

With a smile on his face, he said, "President, how much food do you need?" ”

A look of joy appeared on Li Zhen's face, and he said, "This time, I brought a brigade of soldiers, about three thousand people. According to the calculation of one pound of grain a day for a soldier, three thousand pounds of food are needed a day. Calculated that 100,000 catties of grain are needed a month. I estimate that it will be difficult to win this attack on Vietnam in one month, or two or three months, to say the least. Let's take it as three months. 300,000 catties of grain are needed. Therefore, Mr. Gobard and gentlemen from various countries need to raise 300,000 catties of food support. ”

When Gobard heard this, his old face suddenly pulled down, and it was as black as the bottom of a pot.

To raise so much food, it was completely their funding for Li Zhen to attack Vietnam, which was too ruthless!

Besides, 300,000 catties of grain is not a small amount.

When Hell saw Gobard's black face, he secretly thought in his heart that this was not much, and it could be regarded as Li Zhen's kindness. I think that when he and Adams were in Shanghai, they were extorted millions of silver by Li Zhen, Li Zhen was called ruthless! They are suffering words! Now it is only 300,000 catties of grain, which is a good situation.

Earl and Adams were sour and unpleasant.

Li Zhen then continued: "In addition to food, there is also the salary of the soldiers of the army. Because they are going abroad to fight, the soldiers will not come without a large amount of financial subsidies. After all, once you die, no one wants to stay in a foreign land. Therefore I gave one of the soldiers a hundred taels of silver a month. There were 3,000 men in the army, and it took 300,000 taels of silver for a month. According to the calculation of three months, rounding up, it is simply one million taels of silver. ”

He wrenched his fingers and said with a smile: "In total, 300,000 catties of grain and 1 million taels of silver, what do you think?" ”

"No way!" The French envoy Frankfurt had a black face and flatly refused.

The corners of the American envoy Ma Hui's mouth twitched, and he shook his head again and again: "President, this data is too much. ”

Gobard had a dark face and said coldly: "President, if you want to gather 300,000 catties of grain, you are already a lion's mouth." Now you have offered another million taels of silver for the soldiers' salaries, which is simply blackmail. We are here to ask you sincerely, and we sincerely ask for your help. But the president opened his mouth indiscriminately, which is obviously insincere! ”

Stopsilin said: "There is not so much food, and there is not so much money!" ”

The envoys and commanders of the rest of the countries spoke out one after another against it.

Everyone despised Li Zhen very much, and secretly scolded Li Zhen in their hearts for being too ruthless, and such things were done.

Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, listen to me first!" ”

"You say!" Gobard snorted.

Li Zhen said unhurriedly: "First of all, how much is 300,000 catties of grain and 1 million taels of silver? In fact, if you do the math, it's really not much! If you think about it, 300,000 catties of grain and 1 million taels of silver are not borne by one country, but shared among eight countries. In the end, a country only needs to raise more than 30,000 catties of grain and more than 100,000 taels of silver. This little money is a drop in the bucket for your country, even if the commanders themselves can take it, how? It's really not much! ”

"Secondly, what do you get in exchange for this little money? It's a great victory for the Eight Nations! ”

"We signed the Nine-Power Treaty to form an alliance. Now that the Eight Nations have been defeated by Xi Changzhen, it means that the combined army composed of the Eight Nations is not strong enough. Once this news spreads widely, it will be very detrimental to the reputation of the eight countries. People will say what kind of bullshit is this eight-nation army, it can't even beat a small Vietnam, it's useless! You're right? But after my army intervened, they defeated Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong, and the evaluations were different, and they must have said that the Nine Kingdoms were very powerful, and they didn't dare to provoke them! ”

"In the end, after defeating Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong, the country must be re-established. When the time comes, the new Vietnam will be formed together in the name of the Nine Nations. In this way, it shows the victory of the Nine Kingdoms, and it is good for you to easily turn over the defeat of the Eight Nations. It's good for you to send the news back to your home country! ”

Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Spending a little money can be exchanged for big benefits, in exchange for more benefits, why not?" Good for you, good for me. This is a win-win situation for both parties! ”
