The choice between life and death is very simple, but some words are still a little difficult to say, especially in front of the natives of the Qing Kingdom, which makes Bao Ling feel a little humiliated.

Yang Meng's old god looked at Bao Ling, although he had already said it a few times when he sent off the guest, but, looking at Bao Ling's attitude, he still didn't want to admit defeat lightly.

"Yang Butang, what I want to talk about next is my country's national policy and the pattern of Europe, in exchange for this, I wonder if I can get a copy of the draft contract?"

The desperate Bao Ling's eyes were a little red, and now his hope was still on the two million taels of silver, and in his opinion, what he was about to say was worth the price.

"National focus? Bite me and don't let go! Your national policy is clear without thinking about it, Bao Ling, the main department has already said that the war between the Qing Dynasty and England, the main department is looking forward to it.

As for the European situation, it is nothing more than the Anglo-French coalition forces, and even if Millican and Oros have the heart, it is impossible to participate in such a war in the near future.

Millican's domestic political situation was not stable, and there were contradictions with England, and it was impossible for Millican to send troops in a big way in a short period of time.

As for Oros, he has no power to fight again, and he can talk about it, but if he really fights, he doesn't have the financial resources! A small-scale war was not enough to conquer the Qing Dynasty, and if you want to send troops on a large scale, the risk of sea routes is too high, and Britain and France are not enough to support such a long supply line.

Without the participation of Oros in the near future, the scale of the war will be limited to a few tens of thousands, twenty thousand? Thirty thousand? Fifty thousand at most, and the time will be delayed for a long time.

Your so-called national policy will not do much for the main department. Five thousand gold pounds. An escape route. That's the price I'll give you.

For us, there is nothing that cannot be sold, but the principle of equal exchange must also be implemented, and you can't pay the price of a copy of the contract in exchange for 20 million taels of silver.

The cancellation of the previous treaty between the two countries and the return of Hong Kong Island may be worth half of the draft agreement, such a price. Did the Governor take it out? ”

After listening to Yang Butang's reply, a deep sense of powerlessness surged from the bottom of Bao Ling's heart again, life and death, crime and punishment, it seems that this Yang Butang has completely figured out his bottom limit.

"Ten thousand gold pounds!"

Bao Ling gave up, and he decided to give up, once the lost matter of the grass contract was revealed. He didn't even have a chance to go back to his homeland to explain, and those politicians wouldn't let him go.

"Only five thousand. Your intelligence is not worth 10,000, but you can escape from Hong Kong Island with some intelligence from the English mainland, and the information you have in your status is still very valuable in some countries in Europe.

As far as I know, your family is not on Hong Kong Island, in order to protect your family, you should also escape, otherwise after the matter of the draft agreement is exposed, your Baoling will be ruined. ”

In another time, Bao Ling may not be so impulsive, as long as Bao Ling sells the information, then his only way is to defect.

"The Empire has reached a consensus with France on the issue of the Qing Dynasty, and in the next year, the Empire will jointly send troops with France, with few troops, and the temptation will be the mainstay.

Palmerston's cabinet is also planning a bill to increase troops and military spending on China in the near future, but this will take time, and even if the cabinet forcibly passes Guò, the time will be postponed until the beginning of next year, and the war between the two countries will have a maximum of half a year.

I gave Yang Butang a construction to strengthen the defense of Guangzhou, although the Humen Fort can threaten a fleet, but if the time is chosen, the fleet can easily cross the Humen defense line and threaten Guangzhou! ”

As Yang Meng expected, the excited Bao Ling sold the English policy towards the Qing Dynasty at once, and the last sentence was particularly important to Yang Meng, in his opinion, the pincer defense line composed of Humen and Dawan Fort was solid enough, even if the fleet wanted to quickly pass through this defense line, it would have to pay a considerable price.

At present, the batteries at the mouth of the Pearl River, Humen and Dawan are the main forces, with more than 500 artillery pieces, and although the number of artillery pieces in other batteries has increased, they are mainly used to defend against small-scale fleets, and it is difficult to effectively kill and damage large-scale fleets with 100 guns.

Moreover, fixed batteries and moving ships also have certain disadvantages, and if the fleet casts smoke and the like on the river, it will also have a huge weakening effect on the accuracy of the shore defense artillery.

The two words of Baoling's timing made Yang Meng frightened, tailwind, high tide, I'm afraid it's the so-called timing, right? Quickly break through the Humen line and directly threaten Guangzhou, Ergin's upcoming fleet has thirty warships, and based on forty naval guns per ship, it is more than a thousand artillery pieces!

Once the fleet breaks through to the vicinity of Guangzhou, even if it can repel or destroy this fleet, Yang Meng's side will have to pay considerable casualties, a thousand artillery pieces are not a thousand foreign guns, solid bullets, flowering shells, grapeshot shells, even the new army in Yunnan may not be able to fight in such dense artillery fire.

Once Guangzhou was lost, the shipyards of the Five Nations would be in vain, and the warships could shell the city walls of Guangzhou on the river, and the unfamiliarity with naval battles made Yang Meng take it for granted.

"Nice information! Worth five thousand gold pounds, I wonder what Governor Pauling's plans are for the future? ”

With Baoling's information, Yang Meng turned the terrain of the Pearl River Estuary in his heart, the first line of Humen, Dawan, the first line of Dajisha, and the artillery group of Guangzhou Wharf, and the three-layer defense network formed in Yang Meng's heart.

The main battle site was set near the Guangzhou wharf, and an artillery group with mortars and shore defense artillery was formed enough to cover more than ten miles of the river, and the artillery batteries in the Humen and Dajisha areas were blocked, and even fifty or sixty warships were enough to deal with it.

"France, huh?"

Although Britain and France are old enemies, but Bowing still chose France as a foothold, which is a good choice for Belling, with Belling, the overseas governor of England, the French government interprets the policy of England, and has a fairly authoritative high staff, which is conducive to the cooperation between Britain and France. It is not in line with Yang Meng's interests.

"France? Are you sure? Aren't you afraid of falling victim to the cooperation between Britain and France? And as an Englishman. If you have defected to France. It will also be blinded everywhere.

This choice is up to you, France has a fleet to return home in the near future, and if you decide, I will arrange ships for you. ”

Today's Bao Ling's heart is wide open, no matter what Yang Meng says, he can leave an extremely deep impression on him, which is the so-called psychological suggestion.

"Yang Butang really knows the international relations between Europe and the United States, which country do you think I should go to?"

Bao Ling felt that Yang Butang's mention was very realistic, about the relationship between Britain and France. I understand it very thoroughly, it seems that France is not my ideal place!

"Germany!"

"Germany?"

"That's right! It is Germany, and now Germany is in the process of integration, and after the unification of Germany, it will try to seek hegemony in Europe, whether it is England or France, it is a potential enemy of Germany.

The Governor of Belling, as the overseas governor of England, had considerable knowledge of both England and France. With your qualifications, you can be a senior staff member of the German military. It's more than enough, and when you arrive in Germany, you might even be able to reunite with your family, taking advantage of the German military's connections.

After all, for Germany, your arrival is an intangible wealth, an extremely valuable asset, and the German military will pay a considerable price in order to cooperate with you. ”

Looking at the flash of joy on Bao Ling's face, Yang Meng knew that the goal had been achieved, but this was not enough for the blow to England, the government investment of the shipyards of the five countries, England would not give up lightly, Bao Ling is undoubtedly the best smoke bomb for Yang Meng, the pirates of unknown origin, the lost grass covenant, and the disappeared Bao Ling, aren't they the places where big sums of money go in tandem?

"Yang Butang has a very accurate grasp of the situation in Europe, I wonder if there are any German merchant ships returning to the mainland in the near future?"

With an accurate grasp of the situation, proficient diplomatic methods, profound military skills, and a cautious character, this Yang Butang is undoubtedly a headache for the empire for a period of time in the future.

"Yes! Moreover, it is a fleet that returns to Europe with French merchant ships, and the number of merchant ships is more than a dozen, and a fleet of this size will not be disturbed by pirates, and safety can be guaranteed.

But before you go, there is one thing that Governor Bouling has to do, after you are gone, the draft contract is lost, the whereabouts of large sums of money are unknown, and the politicians of your country are bound to put this responsibility on you, and if this happens, it is likely to endanger the safety of your family back home.

I know a few French journalists, and the Governor of Bowling can hand over the matter of the draft to them, and there must be natives on the island of Hong Kong who look like you.

Find two, one to board a French merchant ship, and the other to arrange for him to fall off a cliff or fall into the sea on Hong Kong Island, and after setting up this layer of fog, Governor Bowing can easily reach Germany, and the best result is to buy you time to rescue your family.

If it is arranged properly, the French newspapers will publish the inside information you have revealed, probably after you have rescued your family, so that the disappearance of your family can also be blamed on the politicians of your country, so that the Governor of Bowling can disappear quietly. ”

Put yourself in the shoes of others, this is the basic condition for winning trust, Yang Meng's plan to Bao Ling, everywhere is not for the sake of Bao Ling, Bao Ling's defection has been determined, even if he does not cooperate with the German military, five thousand gold pounds is enough to ensure his future food and clothing.

"Perfect plan!"

After hearing this, Bao Ling added the title of a vicious conspirator in front of Yang Butang's title, such a person is undoubtedly the biggest enemy of the empire, once Ergin's pace is blocked, the empire may not have the heart to track down his disappearance.

"The basics of politicians are just that! Governor Belling, do you need an interview with a French journalist from the Headquarters? ”

"Hong Kong Island needs time, give me five days!"

"Hmmm! In five days, the Franco-German fleet will depart, and on the fourth night I will arrange for a French correspondent to give you an exclusive interview, and I will put five thousand gold pounds on the German ship.

For your safety, I will hire a few German mercenaries to protect you, as for this fee, it should be a greeting between friends, I hope that after you serve Germany, we will have a chance to meet. ”

Doing this, with Andre's current ability, is a breeze, watching the scandal break out within the British government and help the British governor of Hong Kong defect, presumably Andre is also very much looking forward to it, after all, the matter of the draft contract was done by the three of them together, and Andre can't shirk the aftermath.

From this point of view, the funds invested by the English government should be more than 20 million, and among the sunken ships, there should be a draft contract worth 5 million, which is Yang Mengbai's wealth, as for Andre and Renres's dividends, it is nothing more than a cloud of smoke, this thing is a lot!

And Bao Ling can only choose to trust Yang Butang, now he has no way to retreat, defect to life, not to run away! With a stable defection route and a lot of wealth, Bao Ling has been completely immersed in evil thoughts, and this period of reflection and reflection has nothing to do with him, even if this person looks back later, the matter has already become a foregone conclusion, there is no conclusive evidence, Bao Ling jumped out, just looking for death!
