Napoleon Bonaparte was delighted that he did not expect that he and his French Empire would be so lofty and sacred in the eyes of the other party, and for many years, except for those close ministers around him, he had never heard anyone praise him so highly. However, to his chagrin, he agreed to the request of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom forwarded by Bourblon, so he urgently summoned the Russian minister to solemnly warn and threaten the damned Russian Tsar Alexander II that if he refused to return all the lands of his closest friend the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which he occupied, the French Empire would also tear up the armistice clause on Crimea that had been signed, and the consequences of the war would be borne by Russia unilaterally. As a result, the Russian succumbed, and at that time, he was quite proud, thinking that he had not only made a great contribution to the free world and was worthy of his friends, but that he was the boss of the European continent and that he had to be listened to.

But it was only now that Napoleon Bonaparte understood that after a long time of trouble, it turned out that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government at that time brought him, the boss, out to support the faΓ§ade, not only to get back the territory, but also to hide such a big burden in private.

However, frustration to frustration, Napoleon Bonaparte was a very self-extricating person, and when he led Lin Haifeng back to the ElysΓ©e Palace, he was completely relieved, after all, after tossing for a long time, his original intention was not entirely on the peasant. The two of them humbly drank for a while the freshly brewed Chinese tea that Lin Haifeng brought to him this time, and smoked two bottles of fine Chinese cigarettes that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom friends had given to him in boxes and boxes for the cabinet members of the Imperial Government, and Napoleon Bonaparte's conversation came up again.

"You Chinese are very wise and skillful," Napoleon Bonaparte picked up the delicately gilded cigarette cartridge on the table in front of him, played with it in his hand for a while, and admired it with a heartfelt expression, "But." After all, your family background is still too thin, and the territory is so vast, hehe......"

After all, Napoleon-Bonaparte was not too interested in the rapid development of the Taiping government in recent years, which Bourblon had analyzed. ::Shou-Fa 3*q* Chinese:: A huge land devastated after the war, with no foundation for heavy industry, let alone an extensive talent pool, relying only on a few supermen to start from scratch. Even in the last thirty or twenty years, at best, they could have reached the situation of other empires in their infancy, which meant that they had to devote all their energy and money to the economy.

Seeing Lin Haifeng take the pipe in his mouth and look at him intently, waiting to hear what he was going to say, Napoleon Bonaparte put down the cigarette holder in his hand, "And we are different." We already have a certain strength. In fact, if you think about it now, your great disarmament is still remarkable, and if you want to completely eradicate poverty, it is obviously not possible to just sit there and shout some doctrine, and you must put it into practical action. Hehe, I just learned a Chinese word from you last night. Learn from each other's strengths and be concise. It's also incisive. ”

"What do you mean?" Lin Haifeng seemed to be a little confused.

"Quite simply, if our two governments could join hands closely on all fronts...... "Napoleon Bonaparte looked at Lin Haifeng." In other words, you only need to bury your head in construction, and leave the rest to us to take care of, so that not only will no one dare to disturb you, but we can also be as stable as Mount Tai in Europe. ”

Lin Haifeng seemed to be even more confused, so confused that he forgot to take a puff of his pipe, "Isn't that the case now?" As long as we sign a military alliance treaty, we can rest assured that we can boldly go ahead and engage in construction. ”

"Oh...... My good brother. It's far from that simple. Napoleon Bonaparte tugged at his heart and shook his head again and again. Military alliances are necessary, but they are not the only ones. Think about it, if my warriors had no money in their pockets and no food in their stomachs, what could they really do? Nothing. $3$q$Chinese$First$发$ In other words, in addition to receiving a large amount of technical support from you, we also need you to help us get out of the economic disadvantage. Of course, my brother, don't get me wrong, I don't mean now, but anytime. ”

"Yes...... But after all, we still have limited financial resources," Lin Haifeng sighed in embarrassment as he looked at the tobacco in his pipe that was about to burn out.

"Hehe, that's what to say," said Napoleon Bonaparte, opening his cigarette in a happy mood, taking out a cigarette and lighting it, "You are so numerous and so large that even a rich government would be absolutely inconspicuous if it scattered its money over such a large territory." But once you use it in a centralized manner, it's not ordinary. Not only is it unusual, but it's also greatly, quite unusual. For example, as long as you are willing to pay, you will not only be able to directly eliminate all the difficulties we are currently experiencing, but will also push the French economy to a new level, so that France can lead the trend of the world. ”

"Is it enough?" Lin Haifeng took a puff of his pipe, which was no longer smoking, and looked at the arrogant Napoleon Bonaparte and asked a little puzzled.

"Enough, enough, my good brother, you do have a bit of a ...... in the financial industry Hehehe...... As long as the mutual trust between the two countries is high, many times there is no need for cash. In other words, if you wish, my French bank will even give you a large loan, or an installment payment, etc. Of course, your country may not need the money," said Napoleon Bonaparte, "in any case, if you can help us to get rid of what we have stockpiled here." ”

"Seriously, I'm really a complete layman about the economy," Lin Haifeng knocked out the ash of his pipe, "The people in our government are the same, they are most concerned about the price, whether the things are good or not, and whether they are cheap or not." Hahaha...... I am used to small business, and I can't wait to shop around when I buy a green onion. ”

"In fact, you and your government have seen and felt that the quality of our products is like the blood that flows in the veins of our French. That's absolutely impeccable. As for the price, of course, we must ensure that the mainland is stable for a period of time. You don't know, my brother, that whatever it is, as long as the price drops, it's hard to stop it," Napoleon Bonaparte gestured with his hands outstretched. "Therefore, there must be a long-term stable price in order to maintain the prosperity of France."

Speaking of which, Napoleon Bonaparte also seemed to feel that he was a little too selfish, so he quickly smiled again, "Of course, I know that." You may be the most important person in your government, but you will not get any benefits in your government. That stupid and cute Bourblon was right not to give you a gift, and even if he gave it to you, you wouldn't be able to take it. But as a good brother, I will not treat you badly, money, treasures, and even my beautiful palaces. As long as you like, I will give you whatever you want. Feel relieved. Only three of us know what we are saying today. One is you, one is me, and the other is ...... Hahaha...... It's God. ”

Looking at Napoleon Bonaparte's radiant appearance, Lin Haifeng also laughed. After laughing, Lin Haifeng shook his head gently, "I, like you, am not a person who loves money, we toss and turn here and again, not because the people are rich and the country is strong." So ......"

What a wise man Napoleon Bonaparte. As soon as Lin Haifeng said this, he smelled the peculiar smell. So he quickly cut off Lin Haifeng's words and tactfully reminded him of his "good brother": "My brother, although it is the first time we have gotten together, the close cooperation between us is by no means once or twice. Do you really stand by while our people here are struggling in the abyss of even more misery? ”

Seeing Napoleon-Bonaparte's anxious look, Lin Haifeng nodded and smiled, of course he knew what the other party really wanted to say. In order to invite him to Paris, the Napoleon Bonaparte in front of him can be said to have made a bloody investment. Not to mention the intimidation of that Alexander II and so on with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, in his words, he also made a "loss-making" business in Vietnam, which was that he sent Ruyori's fleet to Vietnam. It turned out that the reason why Ruyori's fleet dared to land in the port of Toulon in Vietnam and "fight" in spite of the repeated warnings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government was actually for another reason. The murder of many missionaries in Vietnam and the expulsion of the diaspora could not have made Napoleon Bonaparte, the overlord of the European continent, angry. But even so, he had no way to do it, because in order to help his vassal clear out the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Red Army troops of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had already appeared in northern Vietnam. In the face of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a valuable ally, or simply for the greater imperial good, Napoleon Bonaparte had to swallow his anger for the time being.

But at this time, Ruan Fuying, who didn't know the depths, was playing ghost tricks with the sect master who had a great favor for him. Seeing that the Manchu bandits in the north were wiped out by the Red Army of the Celestial Empire not long after, Nguyen Phuc Dinh's heart was both happy and frightened. The happy side naturally doesn't need to be said, what he is afraid of is that it is easy to send Shennan to God, if the tens of thousands of Heavenly Dynasty Red Army troops from the Yunnan overseer Chen Zongyang are "lying" on his territory for a long time, then he will not be able to sleep and eat?

Therefore, after only a moment of joy, and before he even had time to think about the "most solemn celebration banquet" promised to the soldiers of the Celestial Empire by patting his chest and stomping his feet at the beginning, Nguyen Phuc Dinh instructed a group of henchmen to gather local ruffians and hooligans to bring villains, and began to harass the garrisons of the Celestial Empire who had just prepared to rest day and night. Finally, in order to avoid greater contradictions and conflicts with the local people, and more importantly, to maintain the image of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, Yang Xiuqing and Shi Dakai instructed Chen Zongyang to withdraw all the Red Army troops stationed in Vietnam to Yunnan.

So, there was a great opportunity for Napoleon Bonaparte to find a face for himself, and to bring with him that bastard scoundrel who helped educate his good brothers.
