On November 22, 1845, the Chinese fleet, guided by the warships of the French Navy, arrived at the port of Le Havre, located at the mouth of the Seine. The powerful fleet of four 'Western Zhou-class' warships and four 'Xia-class' cruisers amazed the high-ranking members of the French government and military who came to greet them. The main force of the French Navy is still the six 'Xia-class' cruisers purchased from China and the 'Orleans-class' cruisers copied by France itself. However, in front of the giant ships of the Chinese Navy, the 'Orleans-class' cruisers looked so unbearable.

"The Chinese's new warships are really terrifying. Perhaps the British also felt the horror of this kind of battleship, so they sent a fleet to show off their strength! "King Louis of the Kingdom of France. Philip I said. His eyes were full of envy when he looked at the 'Western Zhou-class' battleship. If France could have such a powerful warship, perhaps France would be able to challenge Britain's supremacy.

"Your Majesty, I think we should be able to get this kind of warship as well. The Spaniards have already purchased six such ships from the Chinese. If our financial resources allow, we can also buy from the Chinese. The Chinese should not refuse. Said the elderly prime minister of the government, Duke Dalmatia. Of course, he knew what role such a formidable warship could play in the improvement of France's naval strength.

"It would be better if the Chinese could transfer the drawings to us." Our technical level and shipbuilding industry are not at all worse than the Chinese! "Louis. Philip I said. He knew that if he bought directly from the Chinese Empire. It's definitely going to pay a high price. The Spaniards had no choice but to buy it from the Chinese Empire. But France is different. As long as there are design drawings and the relevant processes are solved, you can build it yourself. In this case, you will save a lot of money. Although the French were much more financially powerful than the Kingdom of Spain, they also had more money to spend, and if they could save a little more, they would be able to build more warships.

"陛xià. The government will negotiate with the Chinese. Given the relationship between our two countries, I don't think the Chinese will refuse our request! Said the Duke of Dalmatia. Although the Chinese Empire was strong, the Chinese Empire still needed a strong ally. France is undoubtedly the most suitable ally. On this basis, it was only natural that the Chinese Empire and France should help each other.

"Hmmm! Let's go, the Chinese emperor has disembarked, let's go up and greet you. But. Their emperor is really young. I really envy him for being able to rule such a powerful empire at this age. "Louis. Philip I said. He is now 73 years old. I don't know how long I will live. In comparison, Long Yufei, who is only thirty-six years old, is undoubtedly much younger. This made Louie. Philip I was envious.

Emperor Long Yufei took his concubine Amo Mi and walked down the gangway. On the pier, the French Foreign Minister, Count Molay, and the Imperial Chinese Ambassador to France, Guo Mingquan, were already waiting below. The envoys of China and France, as well as Spain, have been upgraded to ambassadors. But with other countries, it is still a minister. It can also be seen from this that China had much closer relations with France and the Kingdom of Spain.

"See Your Majesty!" Guo Mingquan, a major event in France, solemnly saluted Long Yu's flight. As ambassador to France. It's hard for him to get to see the Emperor. Now Long Yu flies to visit France, if he is good. Maybe it can be reused. It would be great if I could be repatriated. Although France was very prosperous, the industrialization process was higher than that of the Chinese Empire. However, Guo Mingquan still hopes to return to China to take up his post. This also fulfills the old saying, the moon is the hometown of Ming! Overseas wanderers always want to return to their homeland.

"Well, excuse me. Ambassador Guo has been very good over the years. Long Yufei said approvingly.

"Your Majesty, these are all things that a minister should do!" Long Yufei's praise made Guo Mingquan's whole body tremble with excitement. This is the praise of His Majesty the Emperor, and it can be glorified by the ancestors. Although it was hard to work in France, Guo Mingquan suddenly felt that it was completely worth it.

"Your Majesty, welcome to France." This was stated by the French Foreign Minister, Count Molay.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary." Long Yufei nodded and shook hands with Count Molay.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the King and His Excellency the Prime Minister are waiting for you over there." Count Morais said.

"Alright, let's get over it." Although the purpose of Long Yufei's trip was not Louie. Philip I. However, the current king is Louis. Philip I, of course, could not express his faux pas.

"Welcome, Great Emperor of China. I think that this French execution will definitely leave you with a good memory! "King Louis of France. Philip I said enthusiastically.

"Thank you for having me, Your Majesty. Please also visit WÈN China at the right time! Long Yufei said. However, he knew that this should not be a chance. Louis. Philip I is 73 years old and simply does not have a few years to live. Besides, China is too far from France, Louis. Philip I's health no longer allowed him to make long journeys.

"China is a great country, and I think there will be a day when it will happen." Louis. Philip I seemed to have some wistfulness.

Next, Long Yufei shook hands with the Prime Minister of the French government, the Duke of Dalmatia, and other senior government officials and military generals. Only then did they board the luxurious carriage carefully prepared by the French government, and under the protection of the French cuirassiers, they left the port and prepared to leave for Paris.

"Your Majesty, the cavalry of the French is really mighty." Amami looked at the tall and handsome French cavalry outside the window and couldn't help but admire.

"Humph! It's very powerful. However, they are just some useless guys. My soldiers, I can tear them apart lightly. Long Yufei said disdainfully. Although, in this era, the mobility of cavalry is still incomparable. However, with the advent of automatic weapons such as heavy machine guns, cavalry has ceased to be invincible. The Type 44 heavy machine guns of the Chinese army can deal a fatal blow to these cavalry. In addition, the Chinese Army's arsenal has been improving the Type 44 heavy machine gun, hoping to increase the rate of fire and range while reducing weight. In this way, the performance of the heavy machine gun can be maximized. In addition, the light squad machine gun is also under intense development and testing, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be able to equip the troops. At that time, the firepower of the Chinese army will be further enhanced. Long Yufei estimated that when fighting against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the machine gun of the squad would be able to be put into actual combat. This is also the reason why even though the Manchu Qing Dynasty was expanding its armaments with reckless force, Long Yufei was not worried at all. He did not believe that in the face of the powerful firepower of the Chinese army, those Manchurian troops could withstand it.

What's more, although the new army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty numbered more than one million, less than half of them were truly loyal to the Manchus. With the exception of the bannermen, as well as the Mongols and a few Han Chinese, most of the Manchu Qing army was forcibly conscripted. Such a force, once it loses the battle, will collapse. Perhaps, it only takes a few big victories to completely solve the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The convoy left the port and entered the city of Le Havre. As an important port city in western France, Le Havre is undoubtedly very prosperous. Although it is far from being comparable to Guangzhou, there are really not many cities in the Chinese Empire that can surpass Le Havre. However, Long Yufei believes that it will not be long before a large number of prosperous cities will appear in the Chinese Empire.

"Chinese, get out of France!". Damn yellow-skinned monkeys, you're not welcome here! ”。“ Executioners, barbarians, get out of the land of France! ”

Suddenly, from the streets on both sides, a large crowd poured out, holding signs and shouting loudly.

"What's going on? Has there been a revolution? Long Yufei looked at the angry Frenchmen outside through the window of the carriage and asked puzzled. The French have always been enthusiastic about revolution, as evidenced by previous history. However, today is the day when Long Yufei arrived in France, and these French people will not choose this day to revolutionize. In addition, although he can't understand French, Long Yufei can see from the expressions of those French people that these French people don't seem to be very friendly!

Amomi's face became a little unnatural. Although Amemi is a Thai princess, she is fluent in Chinese, English, and French.

"Amemi, what are they talking about? Translate to me, not a word will be missed! Long Yufei said.

"Your Majesty, they don't welcome us, let's get out of France." Amomi honestly translated.

Long Yufei's face suddenly became ugly.

"What are the French trying to do? Are you going to give me a dismount? Long Yufei said a little unhappily. As soon as he arrived in France, he was driven away, and he was completely slapped in the face! Such a thing would never have happened in the Chinese Empire.

"Your Majesty, it should be that the 'Yellow Peril' has been being preached everywhere in Europe recently!" Ammi explained.

"Humph! The French can't even control public opinion, and the country is hopeless. Long Yufei said. No wonder Charles. Bonaparte was able to recover. Louis. The July dynasty of Philip I was really incompetent.

In another carriage, Chinese Foreign Minister Lin Zihao was protesting to the French Foreign Secretary, Count Molay.

"Your Excellency, what the hell is going on? Isn't France welcoming us? This is a provocation to the Emperor of our country, and the Chinese Empire will protest against it! (To be continued......)
