"Damn Russian bear!" Bourblon couldn't help but grunt through gritted teeth.

"The threat posed by the Russians to France on the European continent will be enormous. Therefore, this war in Crimea cannot be ended lightly. I suspect that your Government is considering making peace with the Russians in private, which is unwise. If you want to fight it, you can't get real benefits without strong means. As if he were there, Lin Haifeng talked to Burblon about the war that had been going on for two years, and many of the situations were even more detailed than Burbulblon, who could also get some information from the government.

"Of course, in this war, your country has invested more than 500,000 army troops, 1,000 artillery pieces, and more than 170 naval warships, and the consumption is huge, and it is inevitable to seek an armistice at the right time." Lin Haifeng said, and suddenly smiled, "The British have always been smart, this time they are in alliance with your country, claiming to have dispatched 160,000 troops, but the actual troops participating in the war are only 50,000. ”

Bourblon nodded helplessly, "yes, they just like that. To tell the truth, dear His Royal Highness King An, the cruel battlefield and the disease have caused huge losses to our army, and the emperor of our country is forced to negotiate peace in private. Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Haifeng and smiled, "Your Highness, your country's penicillin and tetanus injections are indeed high-quality products, and they are simply life-savers for wounded officers and soldiers on the battlefield, but unfortunately the number is too small." In fact, he still has nothing to say, whether in the French army or the British army, syphilis is rampant, and Yan zhòng weakens the combat effectiveness of the army. On this occasion, His Majesty the Emperor had ordered that he should receive more medical aid from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government in any case, and of course, the coveted military equipment.

"Hehe, Your Excellency also knows that these medicines were developed by our experts after years of painstaking efforts and a lot of money. Our family foundation is thin, and in order to have this kind of development, we are borrowing everywhere. Out of desperation, we sold out the right to operate the drug to Angel Firm. As you can see, Angel's boss is afraid that one day we will find their back, so he hid in your country. In fact, how can it be, our Celestial Empire has always been a talker, and we will never retort. Not only that, but we will always treat them as friends, and if anyone dares to bully them, the Celestial Empire will never let them go. ”

Lin Haifeng picked up his pipe, looked at Burblon and sighed, "Alas, if we weren't too poor at the beginning, we wouldn't be like this." It's said that a box of penicillin can sell for tens of pounds, but is that true? ”

Upon hearing this, Bourblon almost stopped crying, "Dozens of pounds? Heaven, my dear Highness, the normal price tag is thirty pounds, or is it out of stock. The black market is at least more than doubled, and on the black market in the UK, it costs at least 100 pounds, and even gold is not as valuable as it! ”

"What?" Lin Haifeng stared at Bourblon in disbelief, forgetting to light the pipe in his mouth with the match in his hand, until the fire burned his hand, he quickly threw it away, and shook his hand a few times, "This is not good, this is not good." He said a few bad things in a row.

"It's the nature of a businessman to make a profit." Bourblon grinned.

Lin Haifeng thought for a while, "In this way, the Celestial Empire will negotiate with Angel to stabilize the pricing of drugs in your country, and first ensure the procurement of government in your country." “

Bourblon sighed in his heart, it seemed that this was the only way out. It's expensive, but it's better than nothing.

"To congratulate Your Excellency on your ascension, I have prepared two gifts for Your Excellency." Lin Haifeng lit his pipe and looked at Burbulon with a smile.

"Don't dare to be!" Bourblon hurriedly arched his hand according to Chinese etiquette.

"First, the Celestial Empire agrees to establish a military partnership with your government to jointly develop a new type of ironclad steam warship, the hull of which will be built by your country, and finally all the firepower will be undertaken by the Celestial Empire. If your country does not have sufficient maritime power to deter a single qiē, it will be difficult for you to safeguard its existing interests. Lin Haifeng then stretched out a second finger, "Second, by the end of the year, the Celestial Empire can export 50 new howitzers, 100 mortars, and 10,000 short guns and rifles to your country to help your country arm a new legion." ”

Bourblon was stunned and subconsciously picked at his ears.

"What I said is true," Lin Haifeng smiled, "We Chinese are the most friends." Although we are in dire need of these equipment, we are willing to pay for the benefit of our friends. When Your Excellency arrives in Tianjing this time, you can sign a series of agreements with the Celestial Empire government. ”

"So, then, what else can we help you?" Bourblon was a little moved.

"Let's help each other." Lin Haifeng looked at the pipe in his hand, "The Russians are fully involved in our civil war, and they are desperate to use their forces, okay, we will use a qiē force to entangle them to the death in this land, and fight for your country to take the initiative on the battlefield." Your Excellency and Your Majesty the Emperor please make it clear that the Russians have no hope of victory, and that they have no longer a trained reserve army. In order to eliminate the threat it poses to your country in the future, you should take this opportunity to completely destroy its domestic economy and bring it to a stumbling back then. The battle can be fought slowly, or even while talking, don't be in a hurry. ”

Bourblon nodded, "Our Emperor would very much like to meet you in person for a better exchange of views. ”

"Hehe, I also want to meet your Emperor Xià, but there are still difficulties for the time being. If possible, I would be more than willing to visit your country in the middle of next year. Lin Haifeng smiled, smiling very sincerely.

"On behalf of our Emperor Xià, I look forward to your trip." Burbulon was also very sincere, and then smiled hehehe, "Our esteemed Emperor Xià also hopes that you can give him a calculation." ”

"Yes, then I'm really going to find a chance to meet the emperor of your country." Lin Haifeng smiled happily, "Your Majesty, the Emperor of your country, is a very accomplished monarch and a hero on the European continent. ”

Hearing the other party praise his Emperor Majesty like this, Bourblon was a little proud.

"Do you know Bismarck?" Lin Haifeng's topic changed suddenly, and he looked at Bourblon and added, "He should now be the Minister of Prussia to the German Federal Parliament?" ”

"I've heard of this man, it seems that he also has the nickname of a rogue councilor." Bourblon smiled, a little dismissive.

"This man is not an ordinary person." Lin Haifeng smiled, "The threat of your country on the European continent does not come from the already decaying Austria, Russia, Britain, and the future Prussia are the real enemies. We are a peace-loving people and never want anything from others. But we don't want to see our friends happen to them. ”

"Dear Highness, thank you very much for the reminder." Burbulon owed, "To tell you the truth, our domestic economy is not very good at present, and without strong material security, it is very difficult for the country to maintain a huge cause." So ......"

"That's why we need to distinguish between good friends and foes first." Lin Haifeng took over his words, "Your Excellency must know that while the British claim to be fighting with your country, they have not forgotten the plundering outside. Their new governor of Hong Kong, Pauling, forced our vassal state of Siam to sign the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of Commerce. The East is indeed a huge good market, and you can't just watch others seize it. ”

"Your Highness is so right, just where to start?" Burblon was a little frustrated, "The British are too shrewd. ”

"Let's start with India." Lin Haifeng put down his pipe and picked up his teacup, "Soon we will recover Liangguang and Yunnan, and we can join forces to seize the Indian market." In order to reduce costs, our two countries jointly formed a large company in Canton to compete with their East India Company. In addition, starting next year, our two countries will establish a steel sales alliance. If nothing else, your country's steel output will exceed 200,000 tons in the coming year, and the output can be increased as the converters are put into operation in the future. At that time, the steel production of your country alone will be able to withstand the sum of the British and American countries. That's a big opportunity! ”

Bourblon's mouth was wide open, and he couldn't close it for a long time.
