Chapter 669 Choice (first update, please subscribe)
Apply for military school!
According to the private agreement reached between the two parties when sending the foreign students, the foreign students sent by Li Hefei can directly apply for the army and naval academies. In other words, their students can receive military education in Ming Dynasty.

Inadvertently, people's fate has changed.

In another world, Zhan Tianyou studied engineering, but now he decided to apply for the Army Military Academy. Why did he apply for the Military Academy?
Of course, Zhan Tianyou had his own ideas, but Liang Dunyan just looked him up seriously, and then asked.

"Decided?"

When he was about to ask this sentence, his tone seemed a little dignified.It seems that he already knows why he wants to do this, but he has to decide whether he really wants to choose this way.

Everyone has the freedom to choose.But you need to confirm it before choosing.

"Yes!"

Zhan Tianyou answered without hesitation, and when he answered these two words again, there was a smile and a certain relief on his face.

At this moment, he suddenly let go.The long-standing hesitation and confusion completely disappeared at this moment, and he understood what choice he should make.

"No regrets?"

Liang Dunyan looked at his junior and asked him again, as if he wanted to remind him that if you make this choice, you will never regret it.

"never!"

Zhan Tianyou said with a smile.

"Maybe this is the most correct choice I have made in my life, why should I regret it?"

"Now that you've decided, let's work hard!"

Liang Dunyan, who was a few years older than him, just entered the law department of Nanhua University last year, so he could understand Zhan Tianyou's choice.It takes a lot of courage to make this choice.

Being in the same family as Mr. Li, Liang Dunyan reminded him of his friend's decision.

"After being admitted to the military academy, remember to get in touch with the eldest son more during the holidays. After all, it will be more convenient in the future with the eldest son's support."

No matter where there are personnel, the same is true among this seemingly simple group of international students.

"Well, thank you brother, my brother has been taught."

Liang Dunyan smiled, then patted Zhan Tianyou on the shoulder and said.

"I'll celebrate you after you pass the exam."

Life is always so wonderful, everyone doesn't know what choice they will make, even for Zhan Tianyou himself, he doesn't know whether his choice is right or wrong.

But some roads always have to be walked.

When a butterfly flaps its wings, no one knows what kind of storm it will cause, but after flapping its wings, no force can stop it, until the storm happens...

……

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

In the Paris train station, the crowd is surging.

A tall Spaniard in a dark blue raincoat looked around the station.His sharp and angular face had a dignified expression, and soon, a person walked up to him.Then he brushed the loose hair on his forehead and walked towards the north end of the railway station.

The station was crowded with people, and people from all directions brushed past him and flocked to the various exits of the station.Passengers coming and going are in a hurry.

The Spaniard and his three colleagues were also on their way, because he also had something to do and an appointment to attend.

According to the plan in advance, he should go down the ramp, enter the platform, and then find the train bound for Vienna, starting from the rear car and counting forward to the fifth car.After getting in the car, count to the door of the third compartment in the car and knock twice on the door.If nothing goes wrong, someone will open the door and invite him in.

If all goes well, it means that all the preparatory work in the past two years will achieve the final victory at this time.In the past two years, in addition to how many ships came to Europe to negotiate issues, the parties also communicated through submarine telegrams, using coded telegrams across the Atlantic Ocean, and even sent private messengers.

All this finally has a result!

Who has been the busiest in Daming in the past two years?
It must be Zhu Guozhong. As the Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ming Dynasty, also known as the "Minister of Foreign Affairs" by outsiders, he came to Europe by boat again near the end of the year. However, he did not take the title of Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire. The identity arrived in Europe, but came to France under a pseudonym.

After arriving in Paris, he boarded the train to Vienna directly as planned.

Go through the station entrance, go down the ramp, and onto the platform of the station.Following Zhu Guozhong, he counted along the train... three, four, five, and under the left-hand window of the open door of the fifth carriage, there was a small blue circle.And this is a sign that the car is more elegant than the first class car - its compartment area is enlarged, and the equipment inside can be used to hold some kind of journey meeting, and it is guaranteed not to be spied by any outsiders, and the two ends of the car The wickets are protected by armed railway bouncers.

After entering the carriage, Zhu Guozhong's entourage looked at the ticket, and then entered another carriage, while Zhu Guozhong continued to walk forward along the aisle. When he reached the third door, he was at the door
Knocked up twice.

A calm and composed voice sounded from inside:
"Mr. Zhu, right? Please come in."

The chain on the door rang twice, followed by the sound of pulling the door.The door opened inward, and it was none other than Count Alexander Vanevsky, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Second Reich.

As soon as he saw Zhu Guozhong, he greeted him with a smile and said:
"Is this journey going well? You must have worked hard, please come in, my friend."

"Everything is going well."

Zhu Guozhong walked into this well-equipped compartment.

There is a table and two soft chairs inside, and the bed should be next door.There are two layers of velvet curtains on the windows, which dampen the noise of passers-by outside the car.On the table is a lamp with a tasseled shade.

Alexander said while motioning him to sit down.

"We will go to Vienna this time, and we will reach an agreement on the final issue. If everything goes well, we will sign a treaty there, the alliance treaty of the four countries!"

When he said these words, the tone of Count Alexander Vanevsky seemed a little excited. Since the funeral of the third emperor last year, they began to plan all this. Now, this treaty has finally reached the moment of final signing. How could he not be excited?

The signing of the treaty will not only secure his nephew to the throne, but also restore the French Empire to its former glory.Most importantly, he will also keep his personal glory and wealth.

"Unfortunately, this is not the Five Nations Alliance."

Zhu Guozhong shook his head regretfully.The "five countries" he was referring to included Italy, but because of differences between France and Italy, he was not even able to visit Italy.

Of course, the French have also tested the ideas of the Italians. Compared with North Africa, the Italians value Rome more.

"The Italians always want to occupy the Papal State, but France, as the most powerful Catholic country in the world, we must stand on the side of the Papal State, at least to a certain extent, and, in the future, with the liberation of the Holy City , we also need the support of the Papal State, so it is difficult for us to reach a consensus with Italy on this point, and if the consensus cannot be reached, the possibility of Italians joining the covenant is almost zero."

Shrugging helplessly, Alexander said.

"Sometimes, we have to make trade-offs, don't you think so?"

This is the biggest difference between Italy and France.Italy longed for Rome to achieve true unity, but what about France?As the largest Catholic country in the world, they are of course the protectors of the Papal State. To a certain extent, the Bonaparte family needs the Pope to endorse their crown.

This also means a conflict of interest between France and Italy.There are irreconcilable contradictions.

Shrugging his shoulders noncommittally, Zhu Guozhong said.

"In that case, let's exclude them completely! Have you drawn up the final plan?"

"This is the preliminary consensus we have reached. Of course, we still need to seek your opinion. Besides the consensus, there are still many details that need to be discussed. The most critical issue is..."

Looking up, Alexander looked directly at him and said.

"We hope that the Ming Empire will also join it, not just stay out of it, so we insist - if we act, the four countries should act at the same time!"
