"I have to say, Prime Minister, although you are in charge of the Peace Palace, you are not an outstanding statesman, if you can understand the famous words of the emperor of your country, Louis XIV, which is the sentence, yes, that is, 'I am the country' If the Prime Minister understands my words, then you will not be so ridiculous to use these national interests to prevaricate me.

"I don't understand what you mean." The face of the person who came was darkened, and Baptiste felt a sudden shock, but he still endured the discomfort and said calmly.

"The interests of France can only be safeguarded when His Excellency the Prime Minister is in power, and if you are all out of power, how can you protect the interests of France? If the state has nothing to do with you, then his interests are nothing at all. We are only asking for a little technology and information that your country does not need right now, is your country willing to leave this thing there to collect dust, and not want to exchange it for some money? You must know that now the country that can have both money and lack of technology, and we are probably the only country that can look at your country's technology. Of course, maybe you can say that Japan, they need technology, but do they have the money? It's just a bunch of poor ghosts, and your country has lent a lot to Japan, so you should know their economic situation. ”

"Is your country willing to provide funds for the purchase of these things?" Baptiste keenly grasped this crucial point.

The visitor laughed silently, and he nodded, "Yes, of course we are willing to buy it, and if your country agrees to transfer these technologies, we can privately sign an agreement to buy this part of the technology for fifty million francs, Your Excellency, think about it," his words were low and very demagogic, "Your country only paid us fifty million in compensation, and secretly, there is no need to pay this part of the compensation at all, and all the prisoners of war can be brought back, the only damage in this war, It's just a little bit of the Suez Canal shares, and what does this count as compared to your country's reparations to Germany? Of course, this face must be given to China, we just ask for a little bit of shares, and a little bit of francs, if your country doesn't even pay compensation, then all countries will be suspicious, wonder if we have any insider trading, of course we have insider trading, but the so-called insider trading, can not be known to the world. ”

"It is impossible to hide this from everyone," said Baptiste coldly, "the military committee of the parliament cannot hide it, and the Admiralty is no different. ”

"Of course you can't hide it from them, of course you can't let your Excellency the Prime Minister bear this matter alone, what you need now is to quickly pass your country's green water naval plan, and then those materials and technologies will of course be useless, some useless things, I believe that whoever you say you want to sell to, the big guys will not have any opinions."

The meaning of the visitor is very clear, that is, he hopes that Baptiste will quickly pass this green water naval plan to abolish ocean-going warships, then of course he can smoothly sign a secret treaty, and of course there is no need to expect that the Chinese will sign a treaty for everyone to see, and if this secret treaty is not signed, the Chinese will not be able to end the war.

"So what do I get?" Baptiste said coldly, "According to your logic, sir, if there is no partisan interest, of course, there is no so-called national interest, according to this secret agreement, what can I get?" What does my party get? ”

The fish is finally hooked, if Baptiste does not enter the oil and salt, this matter may be delayed until the year of the monkey, although the Empress Dowager Cixi has never said anything, but the celebration of the fiftieth birthday must not be delayed, if it comes to the holy birthday month, the agreement negotiations have not ended, and the governors at all levels are only afraid that their faces are not good-looking, so they must hurry, the guest showed a knowing smile, "Of course, Mr. Prime Minister has benefits, quickly quell the adverse effects of the defeat of this war, Moreover, the war compensation for China has been minimized, which is a great credit, and at least it can save the cabinet of His Excellency the Prime Minister for one year. ”

"That was only a year, and my party is a minority in parliament, and it is impossible for me to remain in power in peacetime." Baptiste is very aware of his situation, if he does a good job in the Sino-French negotiations, it is impossible to continue to govern, but whoever stands on the highest administrative stage cannot retreat willingly, the power is so charming, like a frivolous and bewitching slut, people can't help but spend all their wealth and energy and even their lives chasing her. Baptiste is a temporary prime minister, but he is also ambitious, "If this thing is reached, and the secret agreement between us is exposed, I may even be guillotined for treason, don't think that our politics are enlightened, that's just our deceitful nonsense, you know very well that in any country, fighting political opponents is the most popular thing for anyone to do and do the most thoroughly." Promises are not a shilling in politics, but I would like to hear what China can get if it wants me to do it. ”

"Of course, in addition to the treaty, we will deal with this concession for you, and we will make you make a solemn statement, and then we will make concessions, indicating that it is your attitude that has affected the negotiations, and this is a very good opportunity to prove that Your Excellency Prime Minister is a leader who is very deterrent to China."

"What else?"

"We have already dealt with the textile industry before, although I am a little immodest, but for the textile industry, we can adjust our silk export prices to let them choose who to support, of course, if you need us to donate directly, this is also possible, but I am afraid that some people will find out the clues of this, which is very bad. And you should also be worried about this, Prime Minister, for fear of being taken advantage of by us. The visitor slowly said the attractive conditions of the Chinese side, "On the Suez Canal, we will fully cooperate with France, so that France can guarantee its influence in the Middle East." ”

"Will your country fall from England to us?" Baptiste said in surprise.

"Of course not, but we will never contradict your country as we have done before, and if you are willing to transfer at least ten percent of the canal shares to us, we can fully support your .....country in the Middle East," Baptiste said quickly, "It is impossible!" "Well, then only limited support can be maintained here, and this support will only be effective when you are in power." (To be continued.) )
