In front of the Palace of Versailles, Louis XVI, who was watching the plane, received a report from a servant.

The Duke of Richelieu and Talleyrand had arrived at Versailles to see the King and Prince Charles.

And I hope that Daming's Guan shopkeeper and Chu shopkeeper can also stay for a while.

The things they want to discuss with the king and the prince have something to do with the two treasurers of the Ming Dynasty.

I hope to meet the king and prince and then discuss it with them live.

These requirements are somewhat strange.

However, the Duke of Richelieu and Talleyrand's visit together must be the most important foreign-related matter in France.

Louis XVI was more indecisive and accepted it without much thought.

Let Chu and Guan go to the rest room to rest, and he and the queen took the prince to see the Duke of Richelieu and Talleyrand.

After the salute, Talleyrand handed over a report.

Then he carefully explained the patent dispute between Zhu Jingyuan and Bernoulli.

It was clearly pointed out that Daming had the technology early, but it was kept secret and not announced, and when someone developed it and wanted to come to France to apply for a patent, he jumped out to grab the ownership of the patent.

also pointed out Zhu Jingyuan's selfish intention of using the influence of Prince Shire to serve the Ming Dynasty and his personal interests.

Louis XVI was not too surprised, and nodded as a matter of course:

"This Great Food Prince really didn't have the same kind heart, and put so many nominal No. 1 on Charles.

"No wonder the aircraft they just applied for a patent is already so mature and stable, it turned out to be made a long time ago."

Queen Mary took Prince Charles' hand and said with emotion:

"My poor Charles, deceived by the cunning Ming......

Prince Charles was completely stunned, feeling that his perception had been turned upside down.

Talleyrand told himself that Zhu Jingyuan had never regarded himself as a friend, and that he had only been using himself from beginning to end.

[To tell the truth, I've been using @

"What does Prince Daishi's snatching of the Bernoulli family's patents have to do with him giving me the first plane?

"Even if he didn't give me the plane, his patenting behavior was in accordance with the norms!

"Even if he is preemptively registering a patent for a flying machine, it is understandable commercial competition.

"Business is business, politics is politics, but none of them have anything to do with our friendship.

"Prince Dashi, Shopkeeper Chu, Shopkeeper Guan, they didn't ask me to help them snatch patents.

"No matter what happens to your patents, it has nothing to do with the flying machine that Prince Daishoku gave me.

"It's always been France...... No, it's the first full-fledged flying machine in all of Tessie!"

The Duke of Richelieu couldn't open his mouth anymore.

Talleyrand then reminded again from a different angle:

"Prince Dashi made an airplane a year ago, and he got Daming's flying patent.

"But until now, it wasn't until I knew that Bernoulli's plane was going to succeed that I applied for a patent.

"It's only now that I remember to give you this plane in the name of Tessie's first plane."

Prince Charles responded again without hesitation:

"Even if Da Ming made the plane a year ago, what does this have to do with Tessie's first plane belonging to me?

"When my best friend decided to promote the plane to Tessie, he immediately thought of me.

"This proves once again the strong and pure friendship that exists between us!

"So don't slander His Royal Highness Prince Daishi!

"Otherwise, it will slander me!"

The Duke of Richelieu sensed despair.

The crown prince of his own country has been brainwashed by that hateful Prince of Daming.

They have built their own set of logics that can maintain the self-consistent logic of the relationship between them.

No matter how others persuade him, he will interpret it in the way that is most beneficial to Prince Daishi.

And this interpretation is barely logical.

If Prince Dashi and Prince Charles are just ordinary people, if national interests are completely put aside, this can indeed be regarded as a very sincere friendship.

But unfortunately not.

This makes it difficult to tell him apart.

So much so that both Louis XVI and Queen Mary felt a little convinced.

Mary asked Prince Charles thoughtfully:

"My Charles, didn't the Prince of Great Food ask you to do anything for him? Didn't you mention the demands of the country and interests?"

Prince Charles immediately said as a matter of course:

"No, he didn't ask for any benefits from me, only some advice on his private life. ….

"He discussed with me what kind of clothes look good, what kind of image is suitable for what kind of clothes, and told me that obesity is unhealthy.

"We never discussed anything national, not even any commercial practices.

"There is only a personal friendship between us, a purely personal friendship."

The Duke of Richelieu was still thinking about how to explain it.

Talleyrand, however, has already given up:

"Your Highness Charles, I'm sorry for over-speculating on Prince Daishi's relationship with you.

"Then we're not going to talk about personal relations now, let's talk about matters of national interest.

"Which party should we award a French patent for flying machines?"

Louis XVI thought about Talleyrand's previous introduction, and immediately fell into a hesitation.

Prince Charles didn't think much about it and spoke directly:

"Does this still need to be discussed? For me, of course...... It's for His Royal Highness the Great Prince.

"What Prince Daishi did was in accordance with the procedure, and we should follow the procedure.

"This is in line with procedural justice and can also avoid conflict between France and the Ming Dynasty.

"Only the Dutch from Switzerland suffered.

"Besides, the key to the ability of an airplane to fly is to have enough power, no one has succeeded in the past but the engine is not good.

"According to you, that Bernoulli used an engine smuggled from the Ming Dynasty to succeed.

"He's the one who sleekly steals other people's trade secrets!

"We in France do not have the ability to make a suitable aircraft engine, and the patent for a flying machine should have belonged to Prince Dashi.

"And Daming's engine is the best, so he can successfully make a flying machine."

The key to the aircraft is power, which is the information provided by Guan Zhengping.

Guan Zhengping didn't say a few words in total, and didn't say a word about asking Prince Charles to help apply for a patent.

As for reminding him that the core of the aircraft is the engine, in fact, there is no targeting.

It is just to explain the reason for the invention of the airplane in a simple and crude way.

The Duke of Richelieu listened to Prince Charles' words, and instinctively wanted to remind him that this was to protect the interests of the Ming Dynasty!

Although the Great Eclipse Prince did not make any requests to Prince Shire, he actually got the desired effect.

It also allowed Prince Charles to defend him without any psychological pressure, and made Prince Charles think that this was a symbol of friendship.

When anyone can say that the choice is reasonable, he did not hesitate to choose Zhu Jingyuan.

The Duke of Richelieu finally held back, and now questioning the friendship between Zhu Jingyuan and Charles would only make Charles hostile to him.

He must not be allowed to participate in this matter, and let the king educate the children and wait, and now he must get down to business.

The Duke of Richelieu looked at Louis XVI and seriously popularized the role and significance of aircraft in military and industrial affairs.

The difference between patents in the hands of their own country and small countries and those in the hands of the Ming Dynasty is carefully explained.

Even in line with Zhu Jingyuan's considerations, the Duke of Richelieu also thought of a way to be a patent troll.

After a great truth, the Duke of Richelieu reminded in a concluding manner:

"All in all, the patent for the flying machine is very important, and if France chooses, it must not be completely in the hands of the Ming Dynasty." ….

Louis XVI asked rhetorically:

"However, as Charles said earlier, Prince Eater's actions are commercial and logically just.

"If we don't give them the patent, how should we deal with the contradictions between us and Daming?"

The Duke of Richelieu immediately said:

"Your Majesty, I didn't say that I wouldn't give Prince Da Shi a patent, but that it couldn't completely belong to Da Ming.

"I have discussed with His Excellency Talleyrand, and our attitude should be that Prince Dashi and Bernoulli have patents at the same time.

"Or either side doesn't have a patent.

"Because Monsieur Bernoulli had already built flying machines in France before Prince Da Shi applied for a patent.

"More than one person knows about the design, more than one person finishes the production, more than one person knows the progress.

"In this way, the aircraft itself loses its novelty in the legal sense and is a completely public thing.

"No one can directly apply for a patent for the aircraft itself, only for a specially modified specialty.

"This is the most beneficial outcome for France."

Louis XVI's direct instinctive rhetorical question:

"There are no patents on both sides, and it is impossible for Prince Dashi to accept it, and it is certainly impossible for Daming to accept it."

The Duke of Richelieu immediately said:

"Our proposal is procedural, in line with our patent law, and what is disclosed cannot be patented.

"If Da Ming and Prince Da Shi don't accept it, then both sides will take a step back, and both will have patents at the same time."

Louis XVI reacted:

"I see, this is Emperor Zhu Cihong's roof-lifting strategy, so let's do it.

"Charles, take the Duke of Richelieu and His Excellency Talleyrand and talk to the two treasurers of the Ming Dynasty.

"They should be able to

It's enough to represent the meaning of Prince Daishi."

Prince Charles listened to their discussion and gave a sarcastic assessment:

"Is it the ugliness of politics that you go against the order you insist on and complicate simple things for the sake of profit......?"

The Duke of Richelieu finally couldn't help but reply with two sentences:

"Your Highness is right, politics is like this, but we are not the only ones who are doing this.

"Prince Eat's act of choosing the right time to preemptively register a patent is no different from these.

"If Prince Dashi had come to France to apply for a patent directly after inventing the airplane, there would be no such thing as now."

Prince Charles said directly:

"No, even if they were to apply for a patent directly, you would have found a way to build a Bernoulli."

The Duke of Richelieu and Talleyrand were directly speechless.

The political consciousness of the Shire is not low, but it is not used in the right direction.

You should be on the side of the French!

Louis XVI next to him couldn't help but remind:

"Charles, you are an adult, don't be willful, for the benefit of France, according to the plan we discussed, go talk to the two treasurers of the Ming Dynasty."

Prince Charles was silent for a few seconds, and finally sighed softly.

took Duke Richelieu and Talleyrand to find Chu Yuqiang and Guan Zhengping.

Louis XVI watched the Prince of Charles leave, sighed and said to his wife:

"Charles trusts his dear friend so much that I am now very worried about what will happen to France when it is in his hands......

Queen Mary is more open-minded:

"I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing, even if it is a friendship that is used by the Ming, it is at least a nominal friendship.

"Other European royals and nobles don't have this opportunity yet.

"Da Ming is too powerful, and it is too dangerous to directly clash with it.

"With this mutually acknowledged friendship, many things can be resolved in relative peace and quiet."

Louis XVI was stunned for a few seconds, realizing that Queen Mary was telling the truth, but still worried:

"Knowing that it is a false friendship and using it is a completely different thing than not knowing that it is a false friendship and trusting it, are two completely different things......

Queen Mary said,

"I believe in the credibility of the Ming royal family, as long as they admit that it is friendship, then it is impossible to take the initiative to destroy it.

"And if Charles truly believes that it is friendship, he will not be able to destroy it on his own initiative.

"That way their friendship can last as long as possible."
