"General Yang, now we can continue talking."

In the European courtyard of Lixiang Garden, after a glance at Andre, who had become much more calm in one day, Yang Meng stopped his fist and spoke casually after washing up.

"Talking? It's not that simple! Let's show your sincerity first! The cannon casting technicians sitting there. They nodded so that you have the capital to talk. This is the last chance. I hope you don't let me down!

Originally, I shouldn’t have seen you this time, but as a friend, I still have to take care of your face. If you can’t get a chance to step into Lixiang Garden today!”

The negotiation requirements are not about what it is. Yang Meng believed it in one day, but it was a bit unrealistic to take out the drawings of all French standard artillery drawings. It was not a good attitude to give discounts. Yang Meng was thinking now whether he should raise the price of France's Yunyan.

Some people just won’t die if they don’t want to the Yellow River!

"General Yang, what would you do if the negotiation fails?"

Andrei actually had some idea of ​​wanting the negotiation to break down. The military people had a very bad attitude towards him. If the price of the negotiations breaking down was acceptable, Andrei didn't mind and gave some eye drops to the old ghosts in the military.

"Yunyan at ten times the price, three months! All French merchants! This is the consequence of the breakdown of the negotiations and the trump card for my cooperation with you!"

After a while of silence, he touched Andre's vein, and then Yang Meng slowly gave a result. I guess the French envoy had a little unhappy with the military and wanted to embarrass them.

But this is an internal matter in France. Yang Meng would not let these people fight in the internal struggle and disrupt his own plans. This condition is impossible for France to accept, but for Andre, this is undoubtedly a good reason to raise his own value. Andrei, who is not in harmony with the military, is more useful to Yang Meng.

"I see!"

Nodded, Andre walked directly to the cannon casting technician, without any concealment, and handed everything to the cannon casting technician.

"Third Master, what they gave this time are new guns. There is a Napoleon gun that is good, and most of the others are howitzers, with only one drawing of a twelve-pound long cannon, the smallest is six pounds, and the largest one is thirty-two pounds, but the main material is bronze.

In addition to these, there is also a list of three-point bronze ingredients, which looks at the ratio of various metals. It is still very different."

The ratio of cast guns is similar in all countries. A new proportional cannon takes a long time to verify. Not to mention anything else, just one Napoleon cannon is worth the money.

"Hehe... these bastards are still playing tricks with me? Don't these French guys know that Yunnan is the largest copper factory in the Qing Dynasty? These people have been tricked by using these tricks!

Tell Andre that today we got the drawings and comparisons of the new sixty-eight-pound cannon, and there are some discussions. Without this, let him go back and play with it!"

No matter how harsh he said, the negotiations were still necessary. Finally, I squeezed Andre. If there was no drawing of the sixty-eight-pound cannon, Yang Meng would continue to talk.

Yang Meng leisurely entered the European-style building, but Andrey quickly rushed and headed straight to the dock. After more than three hours, it was already half an afternoon when Andrey came back.

"San Ye, there are three drawings of sixty-eight-pound cannons, and the proportion is correct!"

Sure enough, interests need to be squeezed. These drawings are nothing more than a reference for the artillery factory. A batch of copper cannons are made according to the old style to prepare for war needs. With these drawings as the foundation, the development of new cannons can free up more people.

"Let Andre come in!"

With enough posture and value, it is time to talk about serious business. It is enough to stretch it. If you stretch it too hard, it will easily break the cooperation intention that you have finally decided.

"General Yang!"

This time, there was an additional soldier in his fifties around Andre, but some of the things representing the military rank were removed.

"Tell me about your strategy for Annan! I can give you some advice."

Yang Meng's words were a little light. Andrei was already familiar with Yang Meng's attitude, but the French soldier behind him could not accept Yang Meng's a bit arrogant attitude.

"General Yang, right? Don't you have a strategy to pacify Annan in the short term? Our strategy is top secret and you have no right to know."

"What are you? I'm talking to Special Envoy Andre. Are you talking to you? Get out!"

If he asked for something to be polite to others, the French soldier seemed to not understand this. Judging from his age, his military rank must be not low. Playing with a French senior officer was also a pastime for Yang Meng.

"Irrecite! Do you know who I am?"

"It doesn't matter who you are! You are still in Lixiang Garden within ten minutes, so I will let my subordinates take you as a living target!

Come and prepare firearms. Ten minutes later, this is the living target!”

Yang Meng shouted, and the Yazi people immediately appeared in the hall, shooting the target alive. The Yazi people did too much, and without saying a word, these people started to load.

"General Yang, he is..."

Seeing this attitude, Andrei was also anxious. In the military, this was considered a middle-level member. He was killed in the Qing Dynasty, so the cooperation was ruined.

"It doesn't matter who he is. What matters is your government's decision. I believe that death of an old ghost will not affect our cooperation."

The cooperation between Yang Meng and France is cooperation between countries. As long as this trend is achieved, cooperation is inevitable. Not to mention the death of an old army or an admiral, France will also cover it up for him.

"Then you can do whatever you want!"

Yang Meng's words can be regarded as a reminder of Andrei, the government is the main force and the military is the auxiliary, and he and the people on the ship seem to have reversed this relationship.

"You dare!"

Being aimed at more than a dozen rifles, the old French soldier's hand was also pressed on the sword. As General Yang said, he was just a victim in the eyes of politicians, but he still didn't believe it. General Yang really dared to shoot himself.

"Do I dare? You will know in a while. From here to the gate of Lixiang Garden, a middle-aged man runs with all his strength, which takes at least five minutes. Now there are eight minutes left, so you can do it yourself!"

After picking up the pocket watch on the table and looking at it, Yang Meng gave the old French soldier a very accurate time.

"Andre, you..."

After Yang Meng said the time, Andre did not express anything. This means that Andre, a little boy, really regarded himself as a victim and cursed angrily. This old French soldier was also a life-threatening man. He turned around and ran away. Not to mention how embarrassed he was.

"Go out and urge him, don't be beaten to death!

Andre, you see, these are soldiers, just victims. They want to step on your head. It’s still a lot short of it!

You are the one who stands in front, and they can only be your adviser behind the scenes! The rhythm of negotiation is in your hands, not in their hands!

If you don’t know Annan’s strategy, ask them, and if they ignore it, they will suppress them with the general trend.”

After driving away the unruly man from the military, Yang Meng became a demon who traded with mortals and slowly guided Andre on a path of no return.

"General Yang, are these related to our negotiations?"

Although Andrei was driven away and he felt relieved, he was still a Frenchman after all, so he knew very well what he should and should not do.

"Of course there is! We are talking about political interests as the future of the two countries, and the military is concerned about military power. Although interests and war complement each other, most of the time, war can only harm interests.

Just like Annan, if France forces attack, not only will the losses be huge, but it may take three to five years or more to take Annan. What we are talking about now is to use political means to deter Annan, rather than using military power!

So tell me about your strategy for Annan!”

Andre's reaction was also within Yang Meng's expectations. It was just Yang Meng's unintentional behavior of planting willows. It was the best thing that would not be much of a loss for him. In this era, both China and abroad are the years of ambitious people. The united hearts of the people are the guarantee of the final success. Although conspiracies and tricks account for a lot of weight, this is not a decisive factor.

"I don't understand!"

Strategic matters are mainly military, and as a special envoy, Andre really does not have the qualifications to come into contact with this field.

"Then you go back and ask, this is very important. My previous words were prepared for the present."

If you don’t understand, this is the best answer. When facing the old fox of the military, Yang Meng was not sure to take out useful things from their mouths, but Andre was different. In military terms, he was far less experienced than the military. Even if the military reminded him, the starting points of both sides were different, and some things were not something Andre needed to care about.

"Wouldn't it be better to ask someone from the military to come and explain it?"

Andrei will not easily get involved in areas he is not familiar with. He will make mistakes if he speaks too much. He is also clear about this truth.

"Military? That old guy just now, he disrespects me too much. From now on, I will only talk to you alone!

We have a cooperative relationship, and I am not a slave to France, remember this!"

Yang Meng had a very good reason, and Andrei couldn't say anything else. Giving full respect to Lord Yang was the decision of the senior management, while the military was arrogant and could only let them stand aside.

"Okay! Let's continue to talk about Annan tomorrow. France wants to take action as soon as possible."

"Well! My idea is the same. The Yunnan-Vietnam Railway must be started as soon as possible. I'll wait for your reply tomorrow!"

When Andre left, Yang Meng frowned. It seemed that in addition to the old soldier in his fifties, there were also senior military officials in France. If we say it by age, the old soldier just now was at least a colonel or a brigade general. If he couldn't make it a military figure with a higher rank and a higher status than him, would a lieutenant general or a general?

With a large number of military figures coming, it seems that France still had a plan for the Qing Dynasty! A glimpse of it shows the whole leopard. This is the basic skill of politicians. When Yang Meng thinks about these things, he also feels turbulent.

After occupying Annan, as long as France's ambitions were not too exaggerated, Britain and France should go from opposition to cooperation, and the goal of enabling the two countries to work together was no other country except the Qing Dynasty.

After the cooperation, joining forces with England and Geely to strangle itself, it seems that it is the link of cooperation between Britain and France, and the interests are eternal, and this is international relations.

The French military was driven out with a gun, which was undoubtedly humiliation and shame. In the main cabin of the French warship, a group of French military figures were cursing Yang Meng! Andrei walked in with a stern look.

"Rampant natives! Andre, you can't give in!"

"But this indigenous person has a great effect on our Asian strategy, and concessions are only temporary!

Now, dear generals, let’s talk about your military’s peace strategy!”

After hearing Yang Meng's words, Andrei's self-confidence also increased. Facing the veteran generals of the military, his confidence was unprecedentedly solid.

"Andre, there are some things you should not interfere with. Let's talk about these things!"

"General, Lord Yang doesn't want to see anyone from the military. If you don't believe it, you can try it. Your rudeness angered this native. If you can't give me Annan strategy, then we can only return to our country!"
Chapter completed!
