As an excellent diplomat, he naturally understood the need to be indifferent to emotions and anger, handle diplomatic relations well, and win more benefits for his country. .

It's just that the previous one was really too weak, and the weak country had no diplomacy. He tried his best to get a Dingyuan back ahead of time. This was still the army of will in the hostile forces of Gaul.

The contradiction between Gaul and the Army of Will is deep-rooted. Whether it is for hegemony or blood feud for generations, these two countries cannot become friends.

Previously, the army was willing to accept the various conditions given by the Qing Dynasty. Whether it was the opening of technology during shipbuilding and the beginning of absorbing students from the Qing Dynasty, they did a good job.

Only in the matter of putting back the warship, there is still hesitation.

Without the protection of the Army of Will, "Weiyuan" and "Zhenyuan" could not pass through the Strait of Gibraltar, which was closely guarded by the Gauls.Enter the Mediterranean Sea.

When Li Fengbao came to the Military Headquarters of the Willing Forces, he unexpectedly found Vardesi was waiting for him. Now Mao Qi has gradually aged, and his successor is Mr. Vardessi, who is called the Short Marshal. .

"Mr. Ambassador, I'm really sorry, the General Staff was so busy a while ago, and as a result, I haven't been able to meet you. Please forgive me." Vardesi said with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency, you are being too polite. It is a great honour to meet you."

When Li Fengbao returned respectfully, he naturally understood that the victory of the motherland against the Gaul navy gave him this treatment.

"The Chief of Staff is a little unwell. Let me talk to you today."

Wadsey's impression of Li Fengbao was very good, so he spoke.

Vadsi also has a nickname called "Fox". Because of his excellent character control ability, both the Kaiser and the old Maoqi attach great importance to this new star. Now he has gradually begun to take over the affairs of the General Staff Department. Up.

"It's the same with the general. I feel honored!"

Li Fengbao naturally knew the situation of the General Staff Headquarters of the Will Army. For him, it was not the key to whom he would talk to. The key was to send the two ironclad ships back.

"Gauls are always so greedy, they dare to invade the territory of your country, but our army of will is a neutral country and cannot give your country help, but I heard that you have defeated their fleet. This is too much. All right."

These words of Wadsey are polite and unnutritious, but they are straight to the subject.Everyone knows the minds of the soldiers of the will, but before that they just thought it was not worth their risk.

"We are deeply honored to care about the Director, but although our Qing Empire has won the airport victory, but the loss is also great, we urgently need the supplement of new warships, and we need a large number of technical personnel. I wonder if you can make Zhenyuan Hewei How about returning home?" I love novel network www.5ilrcxs.com

Li Fengbao disagreed with Vardesi's words in his heart, but he also understood the key points of his words, and could start to make conditions.

"Haha! Of course there is no problem with these. You are ready to receive those warships. As for the technicians, they can leave at any time, but you need to take them away. After all, this is designed to be a secret of our country."

Wadsey naturally agreed with pleasure that in order to maximize the development of the country’s shipbuilding industry, the Will Army’s cost to the Qing Empire could be said to have been very low, and it was about to approach the cost. Originally, the ship was afraid that the Qing Dynasty would lose the game. The war led to the technical disclosure of the Will Army.

Now that he can cause trouble to Gaul, he is naturally very happy, and believes that the conditions given will not be low. After Dingyuan's power has been shown, the Will Army is now starting to build larger ships and is in urgent need of money.

"No! No!" Your Excellency, you should know what I mean. The Gauls blocked the Mediterranean and our warships could not pass.So we hope that your country can send troops to send our warships back to the country. Of course, the 300,000 taels of silver promised before is still valid. We understand that the cost of your ships is already very low, so we will pay for the cost of escort."

Li Fengbao waved his hand again and again, and once again emphasized that the fleet needs escort.

"That's it..." Wadsey meditated, hoping to get more benefits.

"Your Excellency, your Gauls are hostile to your country. Now the Gaul cabinet has fallen. If these warships and personnel can quickly return to our country, then the Gaul plan in the Far East will inevitably go bankrupt, with hundreds of millions of enamels. Our goal is the same as hundreds of thousands of troops will be invested in vain, and that is to weaken the Gauls."

Naturally, Li Fengbao would not be fooled. Although the country has some money, the escort of 300,000 yuan is already a lot. After all, the money does not fall from the sky.

Wadsey continued to meditate, Yi did not speak, but his expression became more solemn.

"My lord! In this way, our Qing empire will build a large shipyard. You need to ask your country to rent some talents at the Tanterbury Shipyard." Saxony: Chief Engineer of Class Battleship, and 15 senior engineers in various fields. The lease term In five years, soldiers need a batch of equipment, and the rental fee and equipment cost are ten million taels of silver!"

Li Fengbao felt that time was almost up, and threw out Wang Guangxu's explanation.

This was especially instructed by Wang Guangxu. He could exchange the drawings for battleships, and the technical staff and the army were also cultivating in the country. However, after all, there is no shipbuilding experience in China. Even if the technology is mastered in theory, it will be raised from 2200 tons to build. 15,000-ton or even 20,000-ton warships still have a lot of problems. It may take more than ten years to solve these problems. Those people who have the will to make progress will be much faster.And made in China, not only can they bring technical personnel, but also can teach in universities, a few years later, a large number of talents in this field can be cultivated.

Moreover, it will take a few years for some desperate equipment to be manufactured in China. It will take too long, and it will take a few years to be eliminated by him with more advanced equipment. It is not worth the loss. It is better to buy it directly.

"Does your country want to build warships of more than 7,000 tons? Good! I agree to this condition!"

"But the grenade in your country...our military department is also very interested."

Wadsey was a little shocked. He never expected that people would have such a big heart. After careful consideration, he still agreed..
