What does a breakdown in negotiations mean?
For the outside world, they obviously cannot realize what this rupture means, but for Zhu Xianhai, all this is actually exactly what he wants.

The time for the negotiating table is over!
What is the remaining question?
It's about war!

When and for what reason is a war started?
War has always been an art. If you want to win a war, what should you fight for first?
Certainly a diplomatic victory.

Just when the Argentine envoy flung his sleeves away angrily, bursts of hearty laughter were being heard in Zhu Xianhai's office.The ambassador of the French Empire, Lesseps Bonaparte, is here to meet with Zhu Xianhai—they are not only "relatives", but also old friends.From the day he became the representative in South China, Lesseb Bonaparte regarded this place as an opportunity.

In fact, it is not only his personal opportunity, but also an opportunity for France.

In just three years, France's investment in Nanhua has exceeded 10 billion francs. It can be said that France is now the largest creditor of Nanhua, which also allows France to take the initiative to deepen its relationship with Nanhua.So at the beginning of the year, Napoleon III made a decision to upgrade the representative office to an embassy, ​​and Lesseb Bonaparte became the French ambassador to South China.

After the attendant brought the tea, but just took a sip of the green tea in the cup, Lesseb Bonaparte raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"The taste of this tea seems to be a bit special..."

"This is brewed from Shanxi tea. How about it, Lesseb, what do you think of the taste?"

Zhu Xianhai said.

The Shanxi he mentioned does not refer to Chile, but Araucania. As early as many years ago, he established tea gardens there, hired tea farmers from Fujian and other places, and planted tea trees there. Now there are already tea trees there. Shanxi tea not only supplies Nanhua, but also exports to Mexico and other places.

Reseb smiled and said:

"The taste of this tea is very unique. I think it's a good tea... I think this place has become a rich land in your hands. It will be even richer in the future, right? As far as I know, in the past In the past few years, the amount of South American beef and mutton sold in the European market has increased fivefold, and will double again in the next two years." He paused, half-jokingly said:

"I have to admit that you have the richest land and the largest pasture in the world, and Europe cannot do without all of this? I heard that Argentina sent a special envoy to Nanhua. They should be protesting your pampas grassland. The expansion of it!"

"Protest? Hehe, if protest is useful, why do we need the army? This world has always been based on strength, isn't it?"

Zhu Xianhai said to Lei Sebu with a smile.

"In the past few years, with the help of the French financial community, we have built more than 5000 kilometers of railways, of which 3000 kilometers are in the Pampas grasslands. Of course, this is also to export meat, wheat and other goods to Europe. All kinds of agricultural products, which also means that we have unprecedented control over the grassland!"

Zhu Xianhai said with a smile:

"So, if there is a conflict, I believe we must be the final winners, my friend, what do you think?"

"We believe that you will definitely be the final winner. Neither I nor Paris have ever doubted this."

Lesseb said seriously.

"But you should also notice that many big landowners in Argentina are British."

This is true. After Argentina's independence, the Argentine government adopted a policy of relying on Britain. During his reign, Britain was not only Argentina's main trading partner and creditor country, although Britain invaded and occupied the Malvinas Islands in 1833.However, British investment and real estate in Argentina continued to increase. According to statistics, as early as 1840, among the 193 large landowners in Buenos Aires Province, 1/4 were British.Now this proportion has increased even further.

"After the outbreak of war, the British will most likely not stand by!"

Regarding Lei Sebu's reminder, Zhu Xianhai was silent for a moment, and then said,

"Actually, I want to know more now, which side will Paris stand on?"

"Paris will always stand by Nanhua's side, after all, we are a family!"

What family?

Shit, aren't you still doing it for profit?

Aren't you already envious of the Argentines who turned to the UK? In the past, they meddled in Paraguay, but now they support Nanhua. To put it bluntly, it's all for profit.

"Well, thanks,"

Looking at Lei Sebu, Zhu Xianhai tried again.

"Recently, we have noticed that European countries are extremely angry at Argentina's atrocities in Paraguay. If this country disappears from the world, it may be a good thing, what do you think?"

"This idea is very good, but you must know that the British are definitely not happy about it. After all, there are many British expatriate farms there."

What Lei Sebu seemed to say casually made Zhu Xianhai frown.Of course he knew what Lesseb's words meant.

To put it bluntly, the British want to turn South America into their raw material origin and commodity dumping place, and so do the French!
Now the farm mentioned by Lesseb is actually what the French want to get. It has always been the same between countries, and the benefits come first.

"I think that after the war, the provinces of Argentina will definitely carry out post-war reconstruction. During the post-war reconstruction process, foreign capital, especially capital from friendly countries, is absolutely welcome. I believe there will be With the capital and technology of France, the economies of the provinces can be quickly restored."

This is simply nonsense!
For Zhu Xianhai, who has long regarded Argentina as a part of Nanhua, or wanted revenge, he would tolerate others getting involved in Argentina, but now he doesn't mind saying that, because he knows very well that after more than a year, it seems that The prosperous French Empire will be defeated by Prussia, and then in the French royal palace, the German Empire will be established, but what about the French Empire?It has since become history.

It's just a country doomed to destruction.

Now it is enough to fool them to stand on their side. As for the French who want to replace the British and become the big landlords in Argentina, do they have that fate?
Of course, for Nanhua, this will also be an opportunity - France will definitely increase its investment and loans to Nanhua after seeing the investment opportunities with huge financial resources.

Isn't it good to use French money to carry out this war?
The money borrowed based on ability can be repaid, or not repaid...
