Chapter 494 Counterattack, take three (third update, please subscribe)
There is always a time when the flame is extinguished, and when passion is also burned out.

Finally, when everything was over, Eugenie, who was sore and limp, sat on the soft chair and lay there lazily, looking at Zhu Xianhai with flushed cheeks, and said with her red lips lightly.

"I must be crazy!"

She could find no reason other than this one.

"Perhaps, this is the magic power of love!"

Looking at him affectionately, Eugenie seemed to understand why so many noble ladies are addicted to their lover's love like opium. This feeling is like opium, which not only sinks people, but also fascinates them.

"Indeed, it always has a fascination to sink in."

After helping her button the back of her skirt, Zhu Xianhai picked up a cigar, and afterward a cigarette... It was indeed a pleasure.

Enjoying a cigar, looking at the blushing queen, Zhu Xianhai said.

"It seems that I should thank you."

Everything came as a bit of a surprise.What good news did Eugenie bring?
It's good news from the east - Liu Kunpeng and others have been released!

Now Nanhua's fleet is still sailing in the Pacific Ocean, but Manqing has already given up.Of course, it's not because they realize their mistakes, but because they realize that foreigners can't be messed with!

After Liu Kunpeng and the others were arrested, it caused a stir among foreigners in Haizhou and other places. At this time, the British and French fleets that were negotiating the religious case in Tianjin had not yet left Dagu. At first, those foreign devils had no intention of intervening.However, after the news that Nanhua sent an airship to France to participate in the war came out, the French Far East Fleet in Dagu and the French minister blatantly intervened.

"While the armies of their allies fight for France, the armies of France also have a duty to protect the citizens of their allies."

Ever since, the French envoy again made representations to the Prime Minister's Office, and the French fleet sailed directly to Haizhou, with the intention of being ready to shell at any time.Under the pressure of foreigners, the Prime Minister's Office, which had vowed to "kill all the traitors", immediately gave full play to the characteristics of "I am a Daqing"-counsel when you are counseled!
Immediately admitted the counsel, not only released Liu Kunpeng and other "foreigners" and compensated for the losses, but even Liu Kunpeng signed the "Nanqing Commercial and Navigation Treaty" on behalf of Nanhua and Zongli Yamen, which contained 29 articles.There are two main contents, that is, to recognize the same trade treatment between South China and Western powers and to grant South China the right to consular jurisdiction.The treaty is valid for 10 years, and if no revision is proposed within half a year, it will be automatically extended for 10 years.

In other words, "My Taqing", who originally wanted to seek prestige from Nanhua, was not only persuaded, but also lost money by stealing chickens and losing money.

Although it was not Nanhua's naval guns that made "My Taqing" persuaded, but French naval guns, but one thing is certain, from then on, in the eyes of "Tarqing", not only Nanhua and France have become one ally and became a member of the "Oceans".

"It's really worthy of the treaty!"

Originally, Zhu Xianhai thought that there must be a profound lesson before the "clearing of the treaty" would compromise, but he never thought that everything would be so simple.The French just sent the fleet to Haizhou, and the problem was actually solved.

"No, dear, this is what we should..."

Suddenly, an explosion from the air interrupted Eugenie's words, and the sound of the cannon made her face change suddenly.

"How is this going?"

Zhu Xianhai's face also became a little unnatural, the sound of cannon...could it be a war?

That guy from Bismarck betrayed their agreement!
As they hurried out of the carriage and onto the platform, de Montauban hurried to report.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, he, he...he ordered a full-scale counterattack!"

"what!"

There was only one thought left in Zhu Xianhai's mind - what a fool!
What the hell is Napoleon III trying to do?Is he preparing to be buried with the Second Empire?
This guy, are you sorry for me?
Are you worthy of the soldiers who died in Nanhua?
When thinking about this in his heart, Zhu Xianhai's mood was extremely complicated, not because he was trapped here now!

It was because he believed that Napoleon III did not have the courage to counterattack at all.Who gave him such courage?
"What does he want to do? Does he want everyone to be buried with him?"

Eugenie said angrily.

But when she saw Zhu Xianhai, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He...will stay in Paris for a few more days!

……

"Your Majesty, the guards have launched a counterattack!"

Amidst the rumble of cannons, Alexander said to Napoleon III.

"Your Majesty, after tonight, you will definitely become one of the greatest emperors in French history."

If it weren't for being the illegitimate son of Emperor Napoleon I, Alexander would even want to boast that Napoleon's achievements had surpassed Napoleon's.

"The war is finally coming to an end."

Napoleon III said while looking at the night sky that was constantly illuminated by artillery fire in the distance.

"Alexander, is this the last resort?"

"Your Majesty, maybe we can't get anything from Prussia, but the glory of repelling the Prussian army belongs to you, not Nanhua or any other marshal!"

Napoleon's name is synonymous with victory. He will never fail. Once he fails, he will lose everything. Napoleon III naturally has a clear understanding of this. The reason is that the victory or defeat of overseas wars will not have any impact on the political situation in Paris.

But if the war takes place in Europe, any failure may shake his throne. His throne, like Napoleon's, was built on the sand, and only victory can consolidate the throne.

"Your Majesty, the public does not understand loyalty and sympathy, nor justice. They never show mercy to the losers, but beg for the victors. The losers will lose all glory and dignity. In any case, the world will always remember that you broke the The siege of the Prussian army, and you saved France..."

Is it salvation?

Napoleon III sighed helplessly, he knew what would happen if he failed, everything about him would be wiped out and reduced to an unquestionable shame.

Even now he was getting a taste of what it was like to be a loser—the Queen hadn't written back to him for days.

Even if he wrote one affectionate letter after another, so what?

The queen ignored him at all.For the queen, he is just a loser.

Even now Napoleon III remembers the contempt in the empress' eyes when he first returned to Paris, even his empress looked down on losers.

Everyone favors winners over losers, just like his niece and son-in-law. When he came to Paris, he was warmly welcomed by the people of Paris. That kind of enthusiasm can even be said to be unprecedented.

Even the queen...has a lot of favor for him!
Thinking of this, Napoleon III's heart was full of desire for victory.He needs a victory, he needs a victory to tell the Parisians, to tell France.

He—His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon III—is the real winner.

He, His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon III, is the savior of France.

By then, the Parisians will surely be cheering for his victory.Of course, the noble ladies in Paris will also care about casting admiring glances at him once. As the winner, he will surely reap all the honors.

Of course, at that time, his queen will return to his side.

"After our attack, the Prussians will retreat!"

"Your Majesty, Bismarck knows better than anyone else that this is their only chance to end the war decently, and what Your Majesty needs is victory, and as for the spoils..."

Alexander was silent for a while, then said.

"The spoils of Waterloo are nothing more than the crown! Your Majesty! The loser has nothing! Therefore, Emperor Napoleon lost everything in the end, and your Majesty, all you need is victory..."
