"Your Excellency, there is a guest outside who asks to be seen, and he is holding your autograph. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Baptiste put down the newspaper he was looking at in front of him, "Guest? He didn't seem to have any doubts, this guest was not an uninvited guest, it was something he expected, "Please let him in." ”

Wearing a black cloak and led by his entourage, he walked into the living room of French Prime Minister Baptiste, and the person who came took off his hat, revealing curly black hair and dark eyes, he bowed to Baptiste, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, long time no see." ”

"Sit down, my old friend," Baptiste said, holding out his hand to invite someone to sit down, "I had already guessed that you would come to me soon, so are you ready?" Ready to give me another gift? I am still ready to stand firmly on the side of France right away," he took a sip of tea, "this time your country does not have to choose, after all, France and Germany are on the same side this time, and I believe that as long as your country agrees, then the three countries together will definitely leave the Congo River valley behind." ”

Baptiste's tone was full of enthusiasm, yes, if there is China's support, then of course there can be a lot of power to oppress the British side, but obviously, Baptiste's wish was disappointed, and the Chinese who specifically contacted Baptiste slowly shook his head, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, this time we are not ready to support France's proposal." ”

"So what do you want to do?" Baptiste's face narrowed coldly, and Mu Ran said.

"We hope that your country will support China's proposal," said the visitor, who did not change in the slightest, still with a humble and gentle smile on his face, "China will put forward a proposal to resolve the Congo River basin dispute, and we hope that the Prime Minister will support it." ”

After listening to the visitor's narration, Baptiste raised his eyebrows quietly, "Your country has a great appetite, if your country wants a colony in Africa, I don't think it's an impossible thing, your country's courage has always been great, but you want the Congo River valley so suddenly, I'm sorry, France will not transfer the land here to China, even if Britain agrees, France will never agree!" ”

"Your country will not be able to get the Congo River, I can guarantee this, it is not that China wants to get in the way, but the actual situation is that Britain will definitely occupy the favorable situation of this dispute resolution decision in the end, which is determined by the national strength of the empire on which the sun never sets, no matter how we struggle, it will be him who will decide everything in the end, although these words sound very discouraged, but they are indeed true."

"The reason for this is that because the countries are not united, and they cannot be united without unity, they will be completely suppressed by the British, but what if several of our countries are united, of course, we cannot form a military alliance, because our two countries were still hostile not long ago, and there are many contradictions between countries, and there are huge contradictions between your country and Germany, but this does not prevent the formation of a temporary alliance between our three countries, The purpose of this alliance is to confront Britain in this Berlin conference and to gain more benefits in Africa, oh God, are you going to prevaricate me again by settling the dispute over the Congo River basin, if it were not for the partition of Africa, I am sure you would not have come to Berlin easily. ”

"You're absolutely right," Baptiste apparently thought of the humiliating loss of his premiership because of British interference, but it was only about dignity, not profit, "but it is obviously impossible to easily seize the Congo River valley, which was originally in the hands of the French, for such a reason." I can't explain to the people, of course, the people are just a high-sounding excuse, but if you obey your country so rashly, I'm sorry, the people will not know that because of the British hope to get more land in Africa, and therefore give up the land in the Congo River Valley, they will only know that the incompetent government has once again bowed its head to foreigners, speaking of which, I envy China, "After so many years of exchanges, Baptiste has a very good understanding of China's political system and state system. There is indeed a bit of envy in the words, "There is no need to consider the voice of the people, you can concentrate all your strength to do all the big things you want to do." ”

"Therefore, the issue of the Congo River basin is not impossible to discuss," Baptiste was originally a little unhappy, after all, the Chinese so directly asked themselves to withdraw from the Congo River basin contention, which is obviously contempt for the French prime minister, but it is indeed as the Chinese say, it is indeed a very difficult thing to force Britain to occupy the Congo River, if there are other interests, of course, you can give up, "What can your country give in exchange?" Baptiste crossed Erlang's legs and looked at the visitor with a smile, "If there is a big enough reason, I will seriously consider it." ”

"Of course, we will not let your country withdraw in vain," the visitor obviously understood Baptiste's character in need of interests, and was not surprised by Baptiste's question, "Of course, I want to emphasize again first, even with our support, your country will not be able to get the Congo River Basin, so the Congo River is not ceded by your country to China, so what we need most is your country's statement and support, not to say the price of buying the Congo River basin, please understand this, so, we are ready," He took a letter from his bosom, "This is the sincerity of our Chinese side, please take a look." ”

Baptiste took the letter, opened it, and couldn't help but freeze a little, the night light shone on his face, and his expression was a little hideous, "Is your country going to an all-out war with Britain?" Baptiste read the letter and muttered, "You want to say that China will help Egypt to achieve local national self-determination under French administration?" This is only a false and empty promise, and it is impossible for your country to deploy real forces in Africa to help France. Of course, yes, Egypt is a very important place, and France needs it very much! ”

"Sometimes the biggest international support is not military support, but diplomatic affirmation, which shows that China is on your side."

"This hole in space," Baptiste put down the letter, his expression calmly replied, "it will be of limited help to France." (To be continued.) )
