Li Zhen said: "Britain established its foundation in India and used India as a stronghold. On the one hand, it did business aggressively and on the other hand, it continued to expand its territory. But now, huge bottlenecks have appeared, such as the ban on opium in China, and the impact on Britain The financial impact is very large. For example, because France also has a certain power on the peninsula, the UK wants to continue to expand but is unable to do so. Another example is that China's weapons are developing rapidly, but the UK has not improved much."
Li Zhen said with a smile: "I can help solve any problems that Britain encounters in India, or problems that Britain encounters."
Gobard asked: "What the president means is opium trafficking in China."
"Of course not." Li Zhen shook his head categorically and said: "The British themselves have banned things like opium. Don't I understand the dangers of opium? However, this does not mean that other countries do not want it. For example, the people in the north do not want it." Russia, or the distant United States, or even South America, Australia and other places, there are many indigenous people in these places, why not give it a try."
Gobard said: "President, don't worry, we will realize these."
Li Zhen added: "As for weapons, you should know about the machine guns used by soldiers in our army. They are definitely the most powerful weapons at present. I believe you are curious about such a lethal weapon and want to take it back to the UK for research. No. Relationship, we can still cooperate."
When Gobard heard this, his breathing quickened.
When it comes to weapons, it's not a simple matter.
If the technology mastered by Li Zhen can be brought over, it will definitely be a great achievement.
Gobard said: "What conditions does the president want?"
Li Zhen said: "I want sovereignty in Vietnam."
Gobard immediately said: "This is difficult to handle. The president should understand that it is not just me and the British who want to carve up the interests of Vietnam, but eight countries. Even if I agree, the other countries will not agree. Take France. For sure, they will not agree."
After finishing speaking, Gobard stared at Li Zhen with burning eyes, paying attention to the changes in Li Zhen's expression.
Li Zhen was amused that the old guy came to find out more about him.
Li Zhen said: "Your Excellency is wrong. This matter is actually very easy. The next time we discuss the formation of the Vietnamese government, you have clearly stated that you support me, while other countries are acting based on the face of the United Kingdom. As long as you support it, everything will be fine." They dare not insist on it. Take France for example. French envoy Frankfort has no independent opinion and French commander Rahel is timid. As long as you support me in taking charge of Vietnam, they will not dare to object. What do you think?"
Gobard nodded, but he was already in a dilemma.
After a while, Gobard made his decision.
Gobard said: "President, I have decided not to trade with you."
"Oh, why." Li Zhen asked disappointedly.
Gobard smiled coldly and said: "The president only used a little machine gun technology to take over the country of Vietnam. Once you control Vietnam, it is equivalent to planting a nail on the peninsula, which will affect the situation on the peninsula at any time. , whether it is the west of Vietnam, the east of Vietnam, or the south of Vietnam, they will all be affected by the radiation of the president."
Li Zhen said: "The area controlled by the British is India and the surrounding areas of India. If I control Vietnam, will it have any impact on the UK? I don't think it will. We can still cooperate."
"Seek the skin of a tiger, don't do it."
"Have you thought it through, Your Excellency?"
"I have considered it very clearly. Cooperating with someone like the President is absolutely useless. If I am sold, I may have to help others make money. I will never do such a thing."
Li Zhen laughed loudly and said: "Praise, praise, you think highly of Mr. Li too much."
Gobard said seriously: "Originally, I wanted the commanders and envoys from the eight countries to come and persuade the President. Now it seems that this plan must be cancelled. Once implemented, I am afraid that it will not be us who persuade the President, but the President. Persuade.”
"Farewell."
After finishing speaking, Gobard stood up and left.
Li Zhen had a pensive expression on his face, thinking that this old guy was too cautious.
If we can't take Gobard, what should we do?
Li Zhen thought about the solution, a smile quickly appeared on his face, and he thought of the solution.
After Gobard returned, he said angrily in front of everyone: "Li Zhen is too difficult to deal with. This guy is as cunning as a fox. He even persuaded me to cooperate with him in order to make me betray him."
"Your Excellency, Li Zhen also persuaded you." Lankfur asked.
Gobard asked: "He persuaded you."
Lankfurt replied: "When I talked with Li Zhen, Li Zhen persuaded me to cooperate with him, but I did not agree. Li Zhen is a fierce tiger. Cooperating with Li Zhen is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. I dare not accept his conditions." ."
Gobard said: "Your Excellency is smart, and it is very dangerous to cooperate with Li Zhen."
After a pause, Gobard said: "Next, we cancel the arrangement to persuade Li Zhen. Let's discuss it first, and then start negotiating the formation of the Vietnamese government again. This matter cannot be delayed and must be resolved as soon as possible."
Everyone discussed the formation of the Vietnamese government, and then dispersed and returned to their homes.
Two days later, in the main hall.
People from various countries gathered together to discuss the formation of a Vietnamese government.
Li Zhen was wearing a military uniform and had an extraordinary bearing. He took the lead and said: "Today, we are once again discussing the formation of the Vietnamese government. Let me say one thing first. The formation of the Vietnamese government must listen to the opinions of Vietnamese holders. Ruan Lele, as the princess of Vietnam , she is the heir to Vietnam, and her words are authoritative. Now, Ruan Lele has entrusted me with full authority to handle Vietnam's affairs, so I should make the decision."
"I disagree."
Gobard stood up and retorted loudly.
Gobard said: "As for the formation of Vietnam, according to the provisions of the treaty, it was agreed upon by the nine countries."
Li Zhen smiled and said: "I am acting in accordance with the nine-nation treaty. The formation of the Vietnamese government is led by China, which I represent, and the countries represented here only assist me, which is equivalent to acting as a staff. Isn't this discussed by the nine nations together? Is it?"
Gobard was so angry that he objected loudly.
He looked at Lankfurt, Ma Hui and others, and kept signaling with his eyes to let these people stand up and refute.
A smile appeared on Li Zhen's lips, and he said unhurriedly: "Sir Gobard, those who are righteous will get many help, while those who are ungrateful will receive little help. Your method of dividing the people is unpopular, and no one supports you." After a pause, Li Zhen looked at Lankfurt and asked: "Your Excellency Lankfurt, what do you think should be done about the formation of the Vietnamese government? Just say, don't worry."
"I support the president," Lankfurt said.
"ah,."
Gobard was stunned for a moment, with an incredible expression on his face.
Frankfurt had never cooperated with Li Zhen, so why did he suddenly change his mind and support Li Zhen?
