"As a friend, I hope you can live longer. As the Queen of Rose, I hope you die early... not too early, just die at the end of our covenant. Of course, maybe I will do it with my own hands by then. Kill you." No matter what she said, Angelina at least meant it.
Xiao Chen was very pleased.
"I'm glad that we are friends, and I accept your blessing." Xiao Chen said, "But if we become enemies again in the future, I will be willing to die in your hands... But let's talk about the things at hand. When I say there is no time, I don’t mean my life, but the current situation is very urgent.”
"Oh? I thought you were in control of the situation." Angelina said.
"If I had such great ability, I wouldn't have to rush here." Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, "I am just a governor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Yanyun County is only a county of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You are the Queen of Ross, I am not the emperor of Zhou Dynasty either."
"Then I really overestimated you. In that case, why don't I just cooperate with Emperor Zhou?" Angelina smiled.
"If you are willing, I can take you to see him now. If he knows that you are coming, he will even drive to see you in person." Xiao Chen said lightly.
"Okay, stop joking, let's get down to business." Angelina kept interrupting, but then bit back, "What exactly do you mean by a tense situation? What does it have to do with our Rose?"
"I have a hunch that at the earliest half a year or at the latest a year, our Yanyun County will face war. The best case scenario is to face an attack from one side, and the worst case scenario is to face a flanking attack from both sides." Xiao Chen said.
"Your premonition?" Angelina said to herself, I didn't know you could tell fortunes.
"Maybe it's because I have a stronger sense of crisis?" Xiao Chen said, "I already thought about it last night. This is one of the conditions for me to resurrect you..."
"One?" Angelina sneered.
"I think I have said it clearly enough. First, I am using real money to buy your warship. This is my concession. Second, I have told you my intention to buy the warship. This is my concession. sincerity; thirdly, if the situation in Yanyun changes dramatically, cooperation between you and me will be impossible. This is my worry." Xiao Chen said.
"If I agree to sell you a battleship, then your next condition is to buy our armaments, right?" Angelina said, "Muskets, artillery..."
"You are wrong, my dear, I only want your battleship. In fact, the battleship you sell to me does not need to be equipped with any artillery. This may not make it too difficult for you. Of course, in terms of price, you must also Make some concessions.”
"Did I hear you correctly? You only want battleships, not artillery?" Angelina was really surprised.
"I hope you will start thinking about this now. I need to get these battleships in the shortest possible time. If possible, give me at least fifty to one hundred ships before the end of this year. I still need time to let me The soldiers are familiar with battleships..." Xiao Chen said.
"You know it's impossible to do it so fast!" Angelina shouted, "I need to discuss it with my ministers and generals when I go back, and they will definitely not agree to what I do."
"Maybe I haven't explained it clearly, or you haven't understood it yet." Xiao Chen frowned, "If you can't deliver these battleships to me before the end of this year, I will have to reconsider our cooperative relationship. , because I cannot face the huge pressure from three aspects alone, so I can only change my strategy!"
"Are you threatening me?" Angelina's eyes widened.
"It's not about whether you are listening to me or not!" Xiao Chen clapped his hands angrily, "Now I have to stand on four boats to find stability in the turbulent currents. If I step on nothing, not only will I die, These four ships are all going to sink, and even if they don’t sink, they will still be riddled with holes!”
What doesn't Xiao Chen know about Angelina's little thoughts?
She probably just wanted to wait for her to start a war with the Japanese, which would inevitably involve the Great Zhou Dynasty, plus the northern tribes. With the melee between all parties, the northern border would inevitably be in chaos. Then she could take the opportunity to advance by water and carry out a large-scale Going south, sweeping across the North Sea, East China Sea and even the entire northern border.
You think so beautifully!
Do you think I, Xiao Chen, am a child? I will never let such a thing happen, then the only choice will be to be forced to give up Gao Juli, and form a military alliance with Japan, with the support of the Zhou Dynasty, to fight against you Ross with all its strength!
So before you send troops to go south, maybe we will go north first!
Because I, Xiao Chen, will never let the war spread to my northern territory. I can only be forced to actively defend and launch proactive attacks! At that time, I will definitely contact all the countries in the West to attack you together. I also have friends in the West, let me tell you!
Aren't you Ross awesome? I want to see how awesome you are!
Can it withstand attacks from the east, west, south and west?
Of course I don't want to do this, but if you are still so stubborn and playing intrigue with me, I will have to do this.
Now I'll give you one day to think about it carefully, and give me a definite answer tomorrow.
But don't worry, I will still help you resurrect, because I will stick to my word and I will definitely do what I say, but I am not as fickle and fickle as you!
After that, he left Angelina behind and walked out directly.
He also wanted to meet someone, Xu Haiming.
Of course, we couldn't meet directly, we had to take a roundabout way, so we sent someone to find out in advance that Wang Anbang was not in the official office, so we came here in high spirits.
When the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs saw Mr. Xiao coming in person, they did not dare to neglect him. After all, this man's reputation has never been very good.
Please come in quickly and have a good tea. Zhang Wu, the doctor of the Ministry of official affairs, came to accompany you attentively. After greeting you, I carefully asked Mr. Xiao, who has insulted our official department. I don’t know what advice you have?
"I want to talk to Mr. Wang Anbang about something. Haha, is it just a coincidence that I came here or is Mr. Wang deliberately avoiding me?" Xiao Chen was unkind as soon as he opened his mouth.
"How come Mr. Wang is hiding from you, Mr. Xiao?" Zhang Wu said with a smile, "You have to go out on official business. Besides, you didn't send anyone to inform you before you came. We, the masters, didn't know you were coming, right?"
"I'm in a hurry, but I can't wait! Since Mr. Wang is not here, who is in charge of your affairs now?" Xiao Chen looked like he was taking matters into his own hands.
"Uh...it's Xu Haiming, Minister Xu." Zhang Wu said hurriedly.
"Xu Haiming?" Xiao Chen frowned when he heard the name, "Why is he still in the staff department?"
"Yes, yes." Zhang Wuxin said, isn't this nonsense? Xu Haiming is our Minister of Civil Affairs. If he is not in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he can still be in the Ministry of War?
Everyone knows that you have a problem with Mr. Xu... Amitabha, please don't fight with him again.
"Call him here." Xiao Chen said carelessly.
