C3053 Last transaction (1/2)
Blanqui's face turned red and then black, ”So you were trying to convince me to surrender? Then there was nothing to say. Surrender was impossible! France must fight to the last man! ”
Xiao Letian looked at Blanqui with a helpless expression. He suddenly let out a long sigh, ”I knew you would say that. It's just like this, with that inflexible mind and that unchanging mind! ”
”Because we love our country!” Blanqui said excitedly.
”Good, good, good …” You're patriotic, you're patriotic, but who loves you? ”
”In the France, all of you working class have to work the most, get the lowest remuneration, and can't even get rid of your basic hunger …”
”And the fellows who are high and mighty? They own land, factories, capital... They were extravagantly enjoying the France's anointed blood, but what did they do? ”
”The one who is enjoying the most is the first one to surrender! Sigh … ”You're all patriots, who loves you?!”
Blanqui stared straight at Xiao Letian, and said with a determined gaze: ”I do not need you as a lobbyist! Without nations and nations, there would be no us! I don't care what others do, but we must have our own set rules! ”
”I secretly smuggled art from my home country. This has already tortured my soul. I couldn't sleep all night. This is already my bottom line. Don't say anymore, I definitely won't listen to any of your nonsense!”
Of course, Xiao Letian did not sincerely want to advise these people and point the way for them.
Towards this first proletarian regime in the history of mankind, Xiao Letian actually held deep sympathy and pity in his heart. He even felt pity for their final failure!
However, when he saw these people having dealings with them with his own eyes, he realized that all the tragedies were predestined!
Xiao Letian didn't waste his breath and said with a sneer, ”Since it's like this, there's nothing much to talk about. You want the materials, but I'm prepared to stop the trade …”
”How about this, I'll give you one last chance …” We will make our last large-scale transaction. After we finish this, I will seal off the Shabelle Gate and will never speak to you again! ”
”I went by sea, upstream along the Seine, and brought in six steamboat supplies, including food, cotton, medical supplies, including coal … These are all materials that you guys urgently need to get through the winter! ”
”This is the last batch of goods. I even spent a lot to get them from the hands of the British and the Dutch! Do you want it? ”
”How many?” Blanqui asked anxiously.
Xiao Letian passed over a list, which was densely packed with materials in French.
There weren't that many of these ships. They were like a drop in the bucket for all of Paris. However, they were at the lowest rations they could get during the war.
These resources could let the defence Self Guard in Paris last for at least another one and a half months. Previously, the commune had already stored up a large amount of resources, so it should be able to last for around one and a half months to two months.
With these six ships, National Guard would be able to survive the winter!
Who could guess what would happen next spring? Maybe Gan Bida's army had doubled in size, maybe Britain's official diplomatic intervention, maybe a huge earthquake had destroyed all of Berlin …
Who could say for sure that there would be a war!
With a ”pa” sound, Blanqui closed the list and asked with his eyes closed: ”How much do you want? ”How do we settle this?”
”Awesome!” At this moment, Xiao Letian was like a big shot in the martial arts world as he downed a glass of whiskey, ”Tuileries' Palace, Louvre …” I can take any treasure from these two palaces! ”
