Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Ta Bulisibojue's age was twice that of Xiao Letian, so the road he walked on was way more than these youngsters, and the amount of salt she had to eat was more than what everyone else had to eat. Under his glib tongue, not only did Xiao Letian waver, even the surrounding New Army officers swayed.

What was a natural bargaining expert? This was a true negotiating expert, what Old Count was showing off was not sophistry, he was just honestly showing Xiao Letian the reality of Europe.

I will lay out all of the difficulties that you, Xiao Letian, is about to face, and all of my analyses can provide you with evidence. Old Count knows that you, Xiao Letian, are a part of Europe, so I won't lie to you.

Sometimes, negotiations are not as full of surprises and uncertainties as they are after art has been processed in movies and TV shows, and they are full of deceit. In truth, in most cases, negotiations were about facts and reason. When both sides revealed their trump cards, it was obvious who was stronger and who was weaker. Naturally, the conflict could be resolved at the negotiating table.

He clearly told Xiao Letian, you have already taken advantage of me. If we continue to fight, not only will you not be able to take away the benefits that you have obtained, you would also have to spit out a portion of it. This is not alarmist, I have given you very realistic examples.

Old Count looked at Xiao Letian expectantly, he could see that Xiao Letian's heart was shaken, and decided to try even harder, "Look at the soldiers beside you, with such a high casualty rate, even if you surrender, it would not be shameful, furthermore it is not surrender, it is just sending you away, your dignity will not be harmed in the slightest."

"Think about it, look at those brothers who are injured and wailing. As a qualified commander, you should take responsibility for them!"

These words were like a heavy hammer that fiercely smashed onto Xiao Letian's ribs, causing his originally unstable heart to sway even more. This time, even Jonas felt that something was amiss.

"Mr. Xiao …" He subconsciously wanted to stop Xiao Letian. As a high-ranking Prussian official, he knew the importance of this place, but he couldn't say it out loud.

The Chinese and the young men of the Hamburg recruit Camp had suffered enough casualties. They were human beings and not gods, and they had no obligation to complete missions that could only be done by God.

Jonas wanted to say something, but she hesitated, the Chinese officers were also shaken. Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun closed their eyes slightly, recalling their brothers who had died along the way. Their voices and smiles were still echoing in their heads, but looking at the survivors beside them, they had nothing to say.

Just as Old Count felt that the negotiations were going to be extremely successful, suddenly, a heavy cough came from behind Xiao Letian. I was wondering, did the blood flag rise up for nothing? We've been fighting all this way because we're doing business? "

The one who spoke was actually the Dragon Lord, he was a tyrant in the north, he did not know anything about diplomacy and politics, he did not know how to compromise, in his eyes, the outcome of the battle was as clear as the outcome of the war.

Dragon Lord turned around to look at the tattered banner, and said with incomparable grief, "How many people died under this banner? "I don't know how to calculate it, but I know that we've been fighting since the start. None of us has ever thought of retreating …"

"I'm a boor and I don't understand much. I don't even understand half of what you're talking about, but I do know that without real strength, all negotiations are nonsense …"

Dragon Lord's words were like a thunderclap that resounded in the hearts of Xiao Letian and the surrounding officers. Everyone was stunned, no one expected that the Dragon Lord who rarely spoke would actually say such a thing.

"I, Xiang Shaolong, am born in the Green Forest, and cannot play around with you guys. However, I know one thing. "These few years, we've seemed to be flourishing, and even I feel that we've been conceited. But now that I've come to Europa, I can finally understand it …"

"What the f * * k is our family business? How are we going to compete with Europe? "Don't forget that we knocked on the Prussian door with millions of silver taels. How could we have forgotten our duty after one or two spectacular matches?"

"What would they think if we backed down today, even if Prussia didn't say anything on the surface? "They will think that we Chinese are not sincere about our alliance at all. We are just a bunch of profiteers who came to Europe to take advantage of them. The little bit of respect they have for us, I'm afraid, will disappear …"

Aiya! Xiao Letian's eyes immediately lit up. He looked at Dragon Lord as if he had seen a ghost.

Ta Bulisibojue was sensitive to the abnormality, but he could not understand the Chinese language. At this time, he anxiously shouted at Jonas, "What is he saying? "What is the identity of this Chinese man?" But how could Jonas translate this for him? He was also moved by Dragon Lord's words.

Xiao Letian really wanted to slap himself twice. He felt ashamed of his previous thoughts of retreating. What Dragon Lord said was not wrong at all. If everyone listened to Ta Bulisibojue's words and withdrew from the battle, they would really be tricked.

, William I, Lao Maoqi and the two other princes, Karl, would definitely lose face in the eyes of the Prussian upper echelons. So much so that all the higher aristocrats would feel a deep disappointment in themselves.

They would treat Xiao Letian as an unscrupulous merchant that had met with benefits from both sides. A crack would appear in their alliance with Xiao Letian, or perhaps it couldn't be called a crack, it could only be said to be a crack in their relationship, from the realm where they could possibly become brothers, and finally retreat back to the realm where they could use each other.

This was the conspiracy that the Old Count was plotting. Not only did he want this plateau, he also wanted to destroy the close relationship between Xiao Letian and Prussia.

No one would have thought that the Dragon Lord would have such a venomous side to it, "During this trip to Europa, I have really broadened my horizons. Look at their railway, those trains, telegraph line s and countless of factory camps. Oh, and the shipyards on the beach... I finally understand. If we were to compare ourselves with others, would that small strength be enough? "

"Pah …" Master has always been scolding Qing Dynasty for being arrogant. I think we should be a little arrogant today too. We are so weak, but what are we relying on to form an alliance with a strong warrior? "It's not a business negotiation or calculation, it's a matter of relying on the fact that the other party is in the most difficult spot and has passed the test. It's my duty to give him a push …"

"They used our actions to move others and let them know that we Chinese are allies that they can rely on, and not petty people who are here to take advantage of them … Don't you all understand this little bit of logic? It seems to me that you all have been blinded by this little bit of bloodlust on the battlefield! "

Speaking till here, Dragon Lord looked straight into Xiao Letian's eyes, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Master, don't forget, Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun and the three brats, you have kidnapped the future Crown Prince of Prussia! "It must be known that this country belongs to the crown prince sooner or later …"

Alright, now that things had gotten to this point, there was no need for further nonsense. Xiao Letian suddenly straightened his clothes and gave Dragon Lord a military salute.

"Thank you! "Thank you for reminding me …" With that, Xiao Letian turned and looked at Ta Bulisibojue, and politely smiled: "Thank you for your advice, but we will not withdraw, this is a battlefield, not a market, we do not want to make a deal!"

Old Count's expression changed immediately, at the same time, brigade commander Peng Ka who was beside him bellowed out, "Foolish Chinese, you are courting death, don't think that just because you have Ah Lan and the others as hostages, I will show mercy …"

"Old Count raised his hand to stop Peng Ka from cursing." Mr. Xiao, please calm down. I don't know what kind of conditions the Prussian has given you, but I can guarantee that we, the Austria, will be able to give them … "

"What do you want!?" Weapons and equipment, latest technology, excellent education... Other than being unable to provide you with battleships, does our Austria have anything else? "

"No no no, even in terms of navigation, we can help you. With the Habsburg's network in Europe, as long as we say the word, we can do whatever you want with the battleship blueprints, and we can do whatever you want with the shipbuilders. Our Austria's background is beyond your imagination …"

"Enough! Count, please go back. You don't know what the Chinese really want, and I guess you don't want to know either. On account of your painstaking efforts, I'll give you one last sentence! "

"Prussia will win the war! Do you think I'm talking nonsense? Hehe, you are wrong, maybe you nobles do not even know where the gap between your two countries lies! "

"Who can win in a confrontation between a completely industrialized country and a semi-industrialized country? A country that has successfully mobilized its nationalist forces against a country that was still ruled by aristocratic politics during the feudal era, who would lose? "

"Old Count, go back and think about it!" With that, Xiao Letian turned his head and left. He even grabbed onto Dragon Lord's wrist and said softly, "Thank you for reminding me, let's go back to my home country. I'll give you a National Arts Library so that you can be the instructor.

Ta Bulisibojue looked at Xiao Letian's back figure in a daze, his heart was in a mess, "How could it be like this, is this Xiao Letian really a Chinese? Why does he know everything! "

"That's right, Prussia's industrialization was much more thorough than Austria's. Moreover, Bismark was continuously pushing up the nationalism, making the people of the country feel very low about war. The Austria wouldn't dare to imagine that the efficiency of mobilization for war would be so low. But? But how can Xiao Letian understand all of these things? "

Old Count stared coldly at Xiao Letian's back figure, and in the end, fiercely turned his horse and said, "Go, prepare for the ultimate attack, this Xiao Letian will definitely become a figure that will give the entire Europe a headache in the future …" "For God's sake, even if we fail the mission, we will kill this Chinese!"
