If you don't take advantage of the fire to rob when you have the upper hand, do you have to wait until the time when you send people under the fence and then expect the mercy of others?

Man Jing must also understand this truth, but he definitely wouldn't have thought that Qin Zhiyuan's asking price would be so ruthless. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But this kind of thing, it was originally a matter of asking for money on the spot, Qin Zhiyuan had an offer, and Manjing was good at bargaining, but if the gap between the two was too big, it would inevitably collapse.

Qin Zhiyuan is not very worried about the collapse of the talks, Qin Zhiyuan has already contacted Pierre, who is the president of the French parliament, last night, and informed Lan Fang's bottom line, Lan Fang's bottom line is to let France take back its rights in Guangzhou, this issue has actually been considered by the French parliament, and it will not make it difficult for the French to accept.

After the end of the World War, the Republic of China proposed to France to revoke France's privileges in Guangzhou as one of the victorious powers, which was a legitimate demand of the Republic of China.

Not only to France, at that time, the Republic of China said to all countries that it wanted to take back the privileges granted to all countries in the pre-Qing era, although this was originally a reasonable request was rejected by Britain and the United States, but the French did discuss it, but did not form a unified opinion.

When Lanfang was founded, the relationship between the Republic of China and Lanfang at that time was not good, because of the Tianjin Port incident, the people of the Republic of China were very repulsive to Lanfang, although this impression was later reversed, but the Republic of China also lost the best opportunity to recover the country's rights and interests.

Lan Fang's request now is also objectively necessary.

Lanfang has been immigrating from the Republic of China for four years, in the past four years, at least 20 million people from the Republic of China have come to Lanfang, settled in Lanfang, and become a part of Lanfang, although the Beiyang government of the Republic of China is not satisfied with this, but still gritted its teeth and acquiesced to this fact, in both sense and reason, Lanfang should give back to the Republic of China, which is not only out of the needs of friendship between Lanfang and the Republic of China, but also the common appeal of those Lanfang people who immigrated from the Republic of China in Lanfang.

So even though Pierre felt that this condition was a bit excessive, Qin Zhiyuan still insisted.

And this insistence has gained the understanding of Foch and Sandy.

After staying in Lanfang for a long time, Foch and Sandy also have feelings for Lanfang, and they love the house and Wuma.

However, Manjing definitely didn't understand this, so even when Qin Zhiyuan and Manjing met for the fourth time, Qin Zhiyuan no longer asked to guarantee Lan Fang's interests in Syria, Manjing still refused.

"If this is your attitude, then please go back, I will not let my soldiers go to the battlefield without meaning, maybe you feel that this condition is too much, but is it not too much to let my soldiers go thousands of miles away from home and give their lives for a group of unrelated people?" Qin Zhiyuan was a little annoyed, Manjing's way of negotiating without oil and salt would not make any progress.

"What do you mean irrelevant? We can give you money, you can give you as much as you want, isn't that enough? "Manjing is still a "butcher" in his bones, and Manjing can't do this kind of detailed work like negotiation.

"Humph, money! Do you feel that you France is rich now? You can buy everything in the world, right? You can ask Alexander Millerand how much he is going to pay for the lives of the Lanfang soldiers, I declare in advance, 1,400 francs is impossible, if you think so, it is very good, you can first give me 20,000 French soldiers, I will buy their lives! "Qin Zhiyuan is generous, if you compete for financial resources, Qin Zhiyuan is really not afraid of anyone.

1400 francs, this is the pension of the Chinese workers who died in the last world war, for ordinary people in the Republic of China, this "price" is very good, but for Qin Zhiyuan, this price is indeed too little, Lan Fang no longer needs to sell the lives of soldiers in exchange for living space.

Even if it's 1400 francs, the French can't take it out now.

Before the world war, France had hundreds of years of accumulation and the support of colonies, so the French would pay such a high price, and now France's little money has been exhausted in the world war, and the debt owed to the Americans has not been paid off until now, and the French are really exhausted.

As for what Qin Zhiyuan said about "buying the lives of 20,000 French soldiers", this is even more nonsense, after the baptism of the world war, the anti-war sentiment in France is now rising, Alexander Millerand not to mention 20,000 people, even 2,000 Alexander Millerand can not be mobilized, otherwise Manjing would not come to ask Qin Zhiyuan, although the Iraqis can fight better than the Syrians, but compared with the French troops in the world war, it is still worse.

"But your condition is an insult to France, and France will never accept it." Mangin is categorical.

"Don't be so sure yet, it's not up to you to decide whether to accept it or not." Qin Zhiyuan was not impatient, glanced at Manjing, who was already angry, and sighed faintly: "I put forward this condition for the sake of our friendship, otherwise do you really think that your privileges in Guangzhou are justified?" Just ask Bastian and Leotei, what are you left of Asia without Lan Fang's friendship! ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Manjing's expression immediately changed: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"That's what you think it means!" Qin Zhiyuan did not back down.

When Bastian was the governor of French Indochina, Lan Fang drove out the British in Sarawak, and the British were driven back to the Malay Peninsula, and during the reign of Leotai, Lan Fang and the French overthrew the Siamese regime together, and by the way, they drove the British out of Siam.

Qin Zhiyuan meant to ask Manjing to be careful, otherwise not to mention France's privileges in Guangzhou, even French Indochina is estimated to be unable to preserve, and it will be a rout for France in Asia.

Man Jing is not stupid, Man Jing just looks stupid, after Qin Zhiyuan said this, Man Jing immediately understood what Qin Zhiyuan meant.

Of course, Manjing still doesn't know Qin Zhiyuan well enough, maybe Manjing never thought that Lan Fang would attack France.

This is also a bit too much to tear down the bridge.

However, the national interest is like this, and Manjing cannot blame Qin Zhiyuan from a moral height, because this French Indochina is not very righteous in the first place, and as for the privileges of France in Guangzhou, it is even more proof of imperialism.

Ah, of course, I don't think Manking thinks it's imperialism, or maybe Manking would be very proud of this kind of "imperialist" behavior.

Qin Zhiyuan is destined to be the one who breaks Manjing's pride, when Qin Zhiyuan and Manjing dealt with it for the first time, Qin Zhiyuan slapped Manjing in the face, that was under the premise that Manjing had his back against Niveler, and now Manjing, Qin Zhiyuan didn't take it to heart.

"You have to be careful, France never spares his enemies." After determining Qin Zhiyuan's meaning, Manjing immediately revealed his fierce appearance.

That's right, Manjing is such an image in Qin Zhiyuan's heart, it's really awkward to see Manjing pretending to be a diplomat.

"I never say anything like that, because my enemies are in hell, so I warn you, don't be on my blacklist, it will definitely not be pleasant." After Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, he didn't give Manjing a chance to say cruel words, and immediately served tea to the guests.

Like last time, Man Jing looked at Qin Zhiyuan viciously for a while as usual, and then left unwillingly.

That's right, what Qin Zhiyuan wants is this feeling of "you hate me very much, but you can't do anything about me".

Qin Zhiyuan is not worried about whether Manking will come back, at present, in the world, except for Lan Fang, no one will help France, the Americans and the British are all the way, and the British have been implementing the policy of containing France since the world war, and now they are supporters of Iraq, and it is impossible to help the French.

In the world war, the French and the British formed an alliance to withstand the frenzied attack of the Germans, and now the French have finally tasted the feeling of isolation, which is indeed uncomfortable, but the French are to blame.

Perhaps it was because Manjing had been mad by Qin Zhiyuan and was unable to complete the negotiation task, and when the French came to the Lanfang palace again, Foch became the representative of France.

Although Foch has lived in Lanfang for a long time, he is still a French citizen, Foch has no intention of joining Lanfang's nationality, and Qin Zhiyuan has no hard requirements, so the current situation is very interesting.

Coming to Qin Zhiyuan with Foch is Hank Becher, this is the current French ambassador to Lanfang, to say that the position of French ambassador to Lanfang is not easy to sit, it has only been a few years, and this position has changed several people.

After meeting Qin Zhiyuan, Foch went straight to the point and once again stated France's requirements.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't speak, it was Julie who spoke for Qin Zhiyuan: "Dad-"

As soon as Julie spoke, she was interrupted by Foch: "Lily, my good daughter, this is a national matter, please don't involve personal feelings-"

Hey, you're shouting "good girl" while saying you want to get things done, even Hank Beecher is stupid.

"Well, then, Mr. Ferdinand—shall I call you that?" Julie was still a little embarrassed.

"Yes—Your Highness." Foch was clearly not at ease either.

"Then our Lan Fang's request is-" Julie also said Qin Zhiyuan's request, dryly like an endorsement.

"Uh, that's impossible!" Foch enters the character relatively quickly, and then has a subconscious look back at Hank Beeccher's movements.

Hank Beecher immediately gestured, seeing that Foch couldn't fully comprehend, and added lip sync.

Foch suddenly realized: "Oh, we can compensate you in other ways, and if the Republic can help France again, then France will always remember our friendship." ”

That's right, if reinforcements are sent in the name of the Republic of China, then France has a step.

"Okay, then that's it, Dad, it's rare for you to come once, go see An Zhe, he just talked about you, saying that he hadn't seen you for a long time." Julie immediately digressed, grabbed the arm of the stubborn Foch and walked outside the study.

At the door of the study, Qin De in Mixia's arms had already stretched out his hands.

"Well, it's been a long time, it's only been a few days—Anzhe, let Grandpa hug you—" Foch was so happy that his beard was already cocked.

Only Qin Zhiyuan and Hank Beecher were left in the study, looking at the two of them, Qin Zhiyuan and Hank Beecher both felt a little fever on their faces.

It's so unreliable!
