C3195 a gang of blackmailers (2/2)
”That's up to you guys. We'll use force to block the water …”
Just as Xiang Ying angered the French councilor to the point that he almost jumped out of his skin, inside's office in Versailles, the Director Wang and the Head of the Guards were also discussing about the situation in Paris City.
”You gave the order for Xiang Ying to save Blanqui? Is there a need for this... ”Cough, cough …” Director Wang took out a handkerchief and coughed lightly.
Xiao Letian hurriedly pressed his cigarette into the ashtray. ”Open the window wider, Director Wang needs some fresh air …” I did not specially ask Xiang Ying to marry someone to save them to begin with, since they are all from the same route, I might as well take a look … ”
”If you happen to meet him, you should help him. If you don't, then let's leave it to fate!”
Director Wang loosened a button on his shirt, breathed in the fresh air, and said worriedly, ”You sure are playing with fire …” If you get too involved with the matters of the Paris Commune, it will lead to a series of unnecessary troubles! ”
”There have already been several reminders and intelligence from Prime Minister Bismark. All of the major families in Europe are wary of us as we get closer to the Paris Commune …”
”The Führer! Was it worth it to become enemies with the capitalists of Europe as a whole for the sake of cultural relics? Paris Commune is the archenemy of the capitalist consortium! ”
Xiao Letian was silent for a moment, ”I know everything that you have said, but I still have to do this matter … ”Actually, Bismark also approved of my actions, but when he's facing the entire European capitalist power, he seems to be even more cowardly than us …”
”Don't think that I sincerely want to save Paris Commune. That organization is just a fleeting flower … ”Don't always think that I'm doing this for cultural relics. In fact, my greedy face is just finding an excuse for my actions!”
”Right now, the most important thing for us to do is to extort money from the France! Thiers is about to be elected President, we have to extort even more francs from him! ”
”Our industrialization needs money! Deposit... ”It's not like you didn't read the telegram from home. My father-in-law is already very anxious right now!”
”We can't even pay the interest of the War bond if we don't return with a large sum of money!”
Xiao Letian pointed at the land and sky of the France outside the window. ”You will never be able to imagine how many precious metals the European world managed to collect after the The Age of Great Navigation opened its doors!”
”That's gold and silver in tons! France, as the most powerful country in Europe, is second only to Britain in terms of overall national power. This is a gold mine! ”
”Just by scraping off a little bit of the oil, it'll be enough for us to pass the next ten years!”
”Why are you squeezing out their oil? He had to let them have internal strife, let them fight the civil war with everything they had... The more brutal the French civil war in Paris, the more they want our support! ”
”They hope for our weapons, our Mercenaries, our diplomatic support … Even if we don't use any of these, they would still want us to leave this land as soon as possible, so that they can shut their doors! ”
”Don't you understand? The more bloody the Paris Civil War, the more money we can extort! ”
”Bismark understood this logic a long time ago, but he had his own difficulties … After all, he does not dare to directly support the Paris Commune, he is a statesman in Europe. If he let the capitalists label him as pro-left, he would not be able to work anymore! ”
”I had to, the dirty work could only be done by us, to give the Paris Commune a bit of support … ”Let them resist a little more fiercely. Only in this way can the French civil war escalate!”
