C3208 Xiang Yings Threat (2/2)
They'll all be sold to the courtesan courtyard!
The maidservants in the corner of the hall did not dare approach the officials and hurriedly walked over with skirts in hand. They smiled coquettishly as they poured wine for the Chinese delegation. Their huge chests were even deliberately rubbing against the officials.
Yi Suobeila had finally woken up. She had been immersed in the Philippines that Xiang Ying had just introduced to her, and she was even more afraid of the hell-like battle scene that Xiang Ying had described.
In the past in the palace, his officials were all very romantic when introducing the war, full of fairy tales of countless knights fighting for their lives.
And today, the Chinese general had taught her an important lesson, allowing her to understand the reality of the Philippine colonies. She also understood her own strength, as well as Xiao Letian's determination to occupy the Philippines.
”Mr. Xiang, I assume that the Führer did not send you here just to scare me out of my hatred? As you say, I will not be able to start a war until I am reinstated. ”
”Then it wouldn't do you any good to intimidate me … ”All those who have nothing to do with this will leave, I want to have a private chat with the general!”
The difficult negotiations had finally reached their final moment, and the most secretive transaction was about to begin!
All of the servants and maids left the stage, leaving only Su Shan by the Queen's side and the translator sent by Prussia. The four of them started the secret negotiations.
The Queen looked around to make sure that there was no longer a fifth person left in the huge dining hall before she said, ”Let's be honest with our leader, what suggestions do you have for us?”
”Your Majesty, I believe you understand my analysis just now … ”The Philippines right now is just a weak spot for you. Keeping it would be losing money every year. Of course, losing it would be a matter of no face!”
”As for the matter of military revenge, I can tell you clearly... ”Imrealistic, impossible!”
”Do you know how much military expenditure it takes to send a Expeditionary forces that can defeat us? Let me give you an example. The French fleet that ambushed the Ryukyu used the garrison troops in the Indian Ocean … ”
”And that failed expedition spent sixteen million francs on Napoleon III!”
”16 million, and this is from India... What if they were transferred from Europe? What if it's three times bigger? ”
”You don't have to be that surprised. The Chinese are no longer the Chinese when the French ambushed us. Our military strength has already erupted!”
”How are you going to deal with a ship like that? You have to know that you don't have a single main battleship in Southeast Asia! ”
”My dear Queen, you do not have ten times the military power of the French Expeditionary Force. Do you still want to win this battle in the Philippines?”
”Would you be willing to pay a hundred and sixty million francs for an expedition to East Asia?” ”Haha, even if you are willing, do you still have that much money in Spain?”
”Let go! ”It's better if you let go!”
”Even if you win in a short time, we will still engage in a long guerrilla war. When the time comes, we will still have a strong army. At the very least, our annual military expenditure will be 30 to 40 million francs!”
”That is a bottomless pit! A bottomless pit … ”Bottomless Pit …”
