There were actually shouting negotiators among the French. This was a very bad thing in the eyes of Xiao Letian and Paul, because it proved that the enemy was no longer a group of ordinary soldiers. Senior French officials had taken control of the situation, and the situation had already Upgraded.
Not only that, in Xiao Letian's telescope, to their north, large pieces of smoke and dust were rising. Looking at the speed of the smoke, one could guess that a large number of cavalry must be coming for reinforcements, and the French had already guessed their escape route.
"Prime Minister, all plans must be changed. It is no longer realistic to go further north. This group of people is trying their best to press us to the southeast. Once the encirclement net from the north reaches our east, that is, we will be on the right track. Ahead, we will really become mice in a cage..."
Paul's pessimistic judgment is justified. After the initial chaos, the French encirclement and suppression forces, under the direct command of Pierre, have shown their due elite qualities.
After all, France is an old empire, and its rich talent base cannot be boasted. At this time, its national power is far superior to Prussia. To deal with such a country, it can only choose sneak attacks rather than direct conflicts.
What's more, with top intelligence personnel like Pierre on the job, Xiao Letian's escape route has been completely cut off.
At this time, Xiao Letian said nothing. His brain was nervously judging the situation. He would not give up easily. In his eyes, any Jedi would have a glimmer of hope.
It took a long time before Xiao Le finally said, "Mr. Paul, what should we do in your opinion?"
"I'm very sorry, Prime Minister. Now I can only advise you to surrender... No, no, no, the word surrender cannot be used for you. You are just revealing your true identity to the French government. With your status in East Asia, status, the French will not make things difficult for you. Once the conflict enters the diplomatic negotiation process, at least the safety of you and the guards can be guaranteed..."
Xiao Letian frowned and said, "No, if this happens, the French will never let me go to Prussia, and they will negotiate with Bismarck. In the end, my army will have no choice but to return home in despair. All my All plans will be ruined..."
"There is another big problem. If we surrender to the French, of course I will be able to obtain diplomatic immunity, and I will not even be held responsible for the sinking of the frigate. After all, they were the ones who fired the gun first... But what about you? Paul Sir, all the anger of the French will be vented on your heads, and you must know that the life and death of spies can never be seen in the light!"
Paul was moved by Xiao Letian's words. He said solemnly, "Thank you for your concern for us, but this is our fate. Since we have chosen to survive in the underground world, we have our own consciousness. For the benefit of Prussia, we Willing to give our own lives..."
Xiao Letian sighed and asked, "Do you have any other choices? Tell me..."
"If you are not willing to bow to the French, we will have no choice but to break out in the direction of Besançon, which borders Switzerland. If we can break out to Switzerland, a neutral country, we will naturally get the full support of Prussia, but can we A successful breakout, it’s hard to say..."
Xiao Letian thought carefully and suddenly smiled, "I feel like we have a third way out... Do you see the water mill in front? I am going to negotiate with these French people there. I always have a feeling that these French people seem to You have already guessed my identity."
Paul was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but after thinking about it, he figured it out. "I understand. It is true that in the chase just now, although these French people maintained pressure, they did not fire a single shot. They were very restrained. I think even if they don't Knowing your identity, they can also guess that you are a big shot..."
Xiao Letian and Paul chewed their ears for a long time, and then Paul shouted to the pursuing soldiers behind him in his skillful French: "French soldiers who are chasing us, find a general manager to come out... In the water mill ahead, a big shot from the East I want to negotiate with you..."
"Please stay calm. This negotiation involves the interests of France and is a very important diplomatic event. Please keep your soldiers back and keep a distance of 500 meters, so as not to cause misunderstanding between the two sides..."
Paul's shouting caused a commotion in the French camp far away, and there was a quarrel with the wind. Then the French soldiers stopped as expected, but the muzzles of the muskets were still aimed at Xiao Letian and the others.
The French are not that stupid, and it is impossible to listen to Paul and leave a distance of 500 meters, but the buffer of more than 200 meters is still a bit. About ten minutes later, a middle-aged man in a dirty suit walked towards the mill waving a white handkerchief.
"Damn it! It's Pierre... It's Pierre, the gold medal intelligence officer who has been refrigerated by the French Army Ministry for seven years. No wonder their containment is so accurate!" Paul has devoted his life to Prussia's intelligence career, and he has no knowledge of some internal affairs in France. He knew the secret too well.
"Prime Minister, I'm afraid we really won't be able to pass the test this time. Pierre is a very famous intelligence officer in France. He is best at finding hidden connections in the intricate intelligence network. If it weren't for his drunkenness and lust, he was kept in cold storage for seven years. , I think France’s intelligence level must have improved a lot..."
Xiao Letian was happy after hearing Pierre's story. He didn't expect that the French would become like this in this day and age? Oh, no, no, no, people call this romance, and that call the pursuit of perfect love, which is not the same meaning as the Chinese understand "lang".
The mill stored a lot of straw, and people sat nervously on it and looked out through the cracks in the wooden boards. Everyone's heart was in their throats, but they didn't expect Xiao Letian and Paul to still laugh.
Huniu glared at him fiercely, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?" After Xiao Letian briefly told him about Pierre's affair, the three women spat on the ground three times in succession.
"Bah, bah, bah...what a good thing, it's worth making fun of. None of these foreign devils are good!"
Just as he was cursing, the door of the mill was opened wide, and Pierre, holding a white handkerchief, was brought in by Mr. Long.
"Oh, my God! Are these three angels? Are these the oriental princesses from fairy tales?" Pierre was completely hopeless. When he entered the house, he saw Huniu and the three of them. , and at that moment he felt that his heart had stopped beating.
Xiao Letian was also dumbfounded. He never expected that this big-nosed Frenchman would actually leave him, the Eastern Prime Minister, alone. He strode up to Huniu first, knelt down on one knee and started talking nonsense.
"Beautiful angels, it was God's guidance that allowed me to see you. Can I kiss your hand? Please don't look at me with such surprise. I'm not a weirdo. I'm just impressed by your charm. Little lamb, please give me your deepest love..."
Paul was also dumbfounded. No wonder this Pierre had been hidden for seven years. He dared to seduce the engaged daughter of the general's family, and now he has attacked the family of the Eastern Prime Minister. Even Europeans can't stand this shameless person.
"Translate, translate for me quickly... What are you saying when you kneel in front of my wife like this?" Xiao Letian suddenly became angry. He was so familiar with the light in his big nose and eyes. When he was picking up girls in Houhai, , Xiao Letian is as vulgar as him.
Before Paul could translate, Huniu struck out like lightning, with a big slap in the face. Pierre's eyes were filled with stars. When he calmed down, he realized that a pistol had been pressed against his forehead.
"You big nose is so rude! You actually dare to talk nonsense to me, my aunt. Don't think that I can't be fooled because I don't know foreign languages. You have to take away those dirty eyes..."
Pierre was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. He kicked his legs several times and quickly avoided this hot-tempered beauty. He kept saying regretfully, "Why is this? I just want to express my most sincere love." Love, I have no ill intentions..."
Xiao Letian said coldly in English, "Mr. Pierre, you'd better stop playing tricks. That's my wife. Do you want to force me to duel with you? I'm afraid you are no match for me..."
Only then did Pierre finally wake up from his lustful state. He quickly stood up and bowed to Xiao Letian, "Please forgive me for my gaffe. I think you are the mysterious big shot from the East... No." No, no, you don’t need to introduce yourself to me, can you allow me to make a guess?”
"I have been hidden by the French intelligence agency for seven years. I don't know a lot of the latest information. I can only analyze it from the limited information I have come into contact with in the past two days... First of all, you are a Chinese. This is impossible. Doubtful, but at the same time, you don’t have Qing braids and you speak very fluent American English, which shows that you have been exposed to very good Western education..."
"Oh, I'm really sorry. I really don't know much Eastern intelligence. I can only make a bold assumption... You are Chinese but not from the Qing Dynasty, so your power should be in the colonies covered by the Han... Oh, yes Now, you can ask the feudal lord to go and look for it..."
"Since you have access to the Western civilized world, you cannot stay away from the ocean. There are only a few vassal states along the coast of the Qing Dynasty, such as Korea, Ryukyu, Vietnam and Japan... No, no, the Japanese no longer recognize it. The vassal state of the Qing Dynasty..."
"North Korea has always followed the same continental policy as the Qing Dynasty, so I have to exclude it, and then the only ones left are Ryukyu and Vietnam... Ah, Vietnam has always been under the actual control of our France, he has It can hardly be regarded as a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, it is more like a colony of our French..."
Having said this, Pierre bowed again and saluted Xiao Letian, "There is only one possibility. I guess you should be a big shot in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and I also know that there is a huge officer corps in Hamburg waiting for you, and that little Ryukyu man It is impossible for an island country to provide you with so many talents..."
"So, your power should have expanded to the entire Ryukyu Kingdom and part of the Qing Kingdom. Your first-level identity should be an official official of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and your second-level identity should be an opposition politician of the Qing Kingdom. Haha, I I think my guess should be 80% correct, what do you think?"
Pierre is also fluent in English. After this analysis, Xiao Letian and Paul were dumbfounded. This is simply a monster. He has been hidden in the snow for seven years and has not been exposed to the latest information. Only through this mission, he has only been exposed to the latest information. A piece of information can reveal Xiao Letian's true identity, which is terrifying.
"I really didn't expect that you, a lecherous Frenchman, are actually such a talented person... How about you consider working with me? How about I pay you a high salary?" Xiao Letian forgot about this big nose at that moment. Having just teased his wife, he actually rushed up and grabbed Pierre's hand.
"Think about it. France doesn't value you anyway. It's such a waste of resources for such a talented person to be willing to keep it in cold storage!"
