C3253 Mysterious old woman (2/2)
”Esteemed leader, I have come to find you precisely because I know that you have some secret communication channels with the people of Paris Commune …”
”All I hope for is to save more people from this fateful massacre. Even if it means a single life, it is still merciful!”
Xiao Letian frowned: ”You really gave me a hard question. Once I intervene, how much diplomatic pressure will I face?”
”What would Germany think? What would Thiers's Chinese government think? What do the kings and noblemen of Europe think of me? ”
”Do they treat me as an enemy? I have to think about this! ”
The old lady smiled, ”I don't care about that. These are all problems that you, as a politician, should solve …” I just want to save them. The more I save, the better! ”
”It can't be saved! Three hundred thousand National Guard s and three hundred thousand government troops, along with over three million poor citizens … With so many people, how many can you save? ”
Just as they were talking, the loud and clear voice of the soldiers sounded from the entrance of the tent: ”France's newly wedded First Division has already left for Sedai Island. The vanguard and the communal guards have started fighting with each other. The regular soldiers are firing their cannons! ”
”Listen up, the cannons are already firing! ”You don't know about military affairs. As long as both sides use their cannons in this war, it will prove irreconcilable!”
”Before this, General Trochu and the Commune had clashed, but the scale of the two sides had been restricted to shooting and cold weapons fighting … At that time there was no artillery, and today the cannon is firing! ”
”You wish for me to save her? I really don't have that capability! Besides, I can't save them either. What's the use of saving so many hundreds of people? ”
Then came the soldier's report, ”Report...” The Paris Commune began to counterattack! The artillery from the Montmartre plateau have begun firing! ”
The old lady stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Letian. ”Leader! I still have to save him, and you also have to save him! ”
”My God, why did you come to me? Isn't it better to go find Bismark? ” Xiao Letian was almost driven crazy by this woman.
”No, I am looking for you! Because you have the most convenient conditions... First of all, compared to the Chinese, the Paris Commune hates the German more! ”
”If Bismark comes forward to carry out a humanitarian rescue! Those proud Frenchmen will not appreciate it! ”
”Secondly, you have a secret connection with the Paris Commune. Through them, you can purchase the cultural relics that have been lost in the Yuan Ming Yuan as well as the antiques from Europe. Furthermore, Blanqui can also obtain the food, medicine, and other materials from you …”
”Since you guys are cooperating, then continue cooperating …” Those people will not be too resistant to it! ”
The old woman laughed, ”Third...” ”I know you have a close relationship with that bearded man in London. With him as an endorsement, the people of the commune will never disapprove of you …”
”You see, I don't know nothing about you! But I will not harm you, and I have no other requests... I just want to save people, do more to save people! ”
”You just said, we might not be able to save many people with our weak strength …” That's not a problem. Even if we can only save one person, our actions are not meaningless! ”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Muffled gunshots rang out from within the walls in the distance, causing the entire Paris City to shake. Xiao Letian's face darkened when he heard the gunshots.
”Why are you sticking your nose in me? ”I only have a few thousand people under my command, it's really not enough …”
”Even if I wanted to help, I wouldn't have the money... Since you asked me to help, how much are you prepared to pay? ”
