"Oh? Can France sell us a battleship? Has your experiment on armored ships made any progress?" King Shang Tai was such a child, he actually made the predictions from Xiao Letian's mouth obvious.
The corners of Molière's eyes twitched, and a wave of emotion surged in his heart: "Oh God, how could these Asian monkeys know about the technological progress in Europe? And the progress in military technology?"
"This Xiao Letian is indeed a monster. Such words can only come from Xiao Letian's mouth. This man is the biggest threat to European civilization. He cannot be left here. This devil must not be left here..."
Thinking of this, Molière smiled lightly and politely said to King Shangtai, "Your Majesty is wise. Indeed, as you said, France is at the forefront of the world in research on ironclad ships. In 1849, we in France had already built a steam-powered ship." The ironclad Napoleon also served in the Crimean War..."
"Oh? Then why are all sail warships sent to attack Ryukyu this time? Could it be that there is a problem with the construction process of French ironclads?" King Shangtai asked casually, while his eyes continued to move with the red crowd.
Molière secretly cursed, it wasn't those bastards in Paris who had blocked the navy's funds and were afraid that the expansion of the navy would cause enmity with the British. Otherwise, how could there not be even a single steam ironclad in the entire Indian colony?
If I have a more powerful armored warship, I can approach and shoot against the threat of coastal defense batteries. Then our landing force will be able to receive stronger and more accurate fire support. Why should we bother with this kind of trouble? The machinations of the mind.
However, he cursed in his heart. Now is the most critical moment of the whole scam. The chain must not be broken at this time. Molière smiled and said, "Your Majesty, of course the most powerful weapons must be placed where they are needed most. Now France's national interests lie in Europe, North America, and India, not in Asia..."
"It is precisely because Asia is on the edge of France's national interests that we do not have to send the most powerful fleet. It is precisely because of this that we have the strength to sign a peace agreement. This war is just a battle of punishment. If it were not for Xiao If Lotte insults the dignity of the French Emperor, then this war will never happen..."
"Sincerity, this is our sincerity in France. Do you still doubt us now?"
Molière's exquisite acting skills successfully eliminated the last doubt in King Shantai's mind. At this time, the French Red Army, which was rolling forward, was getting closer and closer. General Bruce was only fifty meters away from King Shantai.
Gong Cheng was also nervous now. His palms were all sweaty, and his eyes were darting around. The five warships at the farthest sea now looked like their gun doors were closed, but he knew that the artillery in the firing deck had been loaded long ago. Ammunition was obtained and the most experienced shooters were already in position.
Look at the three red phalanxes rolling forward in front of them. Three hundred veterans who have participated in desert jungle combat are already ready to fight. Although there is no ammunition, you don't have to rely on bullets to kill. Bayonets can also be used.
There are more than a hundred Shimazu warriors around the viewing platform who are nominally here to protect the Ryukyu monarchs, but no one knows that Gong Cheng has already paid a high price to instigate Shimazu Dairo. Even if he does not instigate Shimazu Dairo, he still has to consider it. Consider the interests of the Satsuma Domain.
Three nooses have been put around King Shangtai's neck, and this is not enough. Gong Cheng has another noose in his hand, which is the integrated Manchu and Qing secret talks.
Among the crowd of common people watching the ceremony, Sun Ximei, Chang Sanhao, Stubborn Donkey, etc. were talking secretly. Now they are disguised as ordinary Ryukyu people and are crowding in the crowd waiting for an opportunity. Although they don't know what role they can play, they can spread some rumors. , killing people, setting fires, etc., we can't do without them.
The four nooses have now begun to tighten the buckles, and all opportunities for King Shang Tai to escape have been blocked. Gong Cheng used his superb acting skills to give Ryukyu monarchs and ministers an illusory sense of security, and now this scam has finally reached its conclusion. .
Major General Bruce was only more than forty meters away from King Shangtai. At this time, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more tense. Gong Cheng looked at the young king coldly and found that King Shangtai's expression became unnaturally stiff.
"Shop Manager Fan... you haven't answered my question directly yet. If this contract is really signed successfully, will you give me the 30% tap I want or not? In front of His Majesty, you'd better Tell me the truth..."
What a shame, what a shame. Gong Cheng knew that when people use their consciousness to judge dangerous situations, this consciousness is often the most accurate. Now that King Shang Tai smells danger, he must interrupt this consciousness.
Sure enough, when Gong Cheng's bargaining sound reached King Shangtai's ears, the young king was suddenly interrupted, and his keen consciousness suddenly dissipated.
It was already too late. Even the Great Luo Immortal might not be able to reverse the situation. Major General Bruce had already led the team to the edge of the viewing platform.
"Long live the Emperor of France..." Bruce shouted, and three hundred soldiers held the gun in front of their chests and shouted in unison, "Long live...Long live...Long live..."
Molière also stood up from his chair and shouted with fanatical eyes, "Long live the Emperor of France...Long live...Long live..."
The long live sound is the order for action. When the third long live sound sounded, the tea bowl in Gong Cheng's hand fell to the ground with a clatter. The old man's hands were shaking like chicken feet.
Major General Bruce, who was under the viewing platform, suddenly pulled out a sword with his sword in his hand, and pointed the long sword directly at King Shangtai on the viewing platform, "French warriors...charge..."
After giving the order, the one hundred red-coated soldiers at the head suddenly shouted "Kill..." With a roar that shook the earth, the soldiers rushed towards the viewing platform feverishly.
"The first phalanx captures King Shang Tai alive... the second phalanx blocks the Imperial Guards... the third phalanx seizes the pier..." General Bruce roared and followed the wave of people onto the viewing platform.
"Protect...protect..." Cai Mao raised his leg and kicked Molière, but he didn't expect that Molière was so agile and could easily avoid it. He jumped to the side of the cameraman and looked at the Ryukyu monarchs and ministers with a sneer, like Like a cat playing with a mouse.
"Damn French guy, damn Gong Cheng... you are shameless..." Cai Mao stood in front of King Shang Tai like a tiger, holding the revolver tightly in his hand, raised his hand and fired three shots.
The three red-clothed French soldiers at the front fell to the ground as if they had been electrocuted. However, there were too many French soldiers rushing up, and their speed was too fast. The bayonets flashed, and the French soldiers on the flanks had bayonets. He stabbed General Cai Mao's wrist, and the pistol fell to the ground with a clatter.
This mutiny happened so fast. Except for Molière and Gong Cheng, who knew the details in advance, no one in the audience expected that the French would be so shameless, and their brains froze for a moment.
Jin Changsen and Lin Yuanmiao couldn't say a word with trembling lips, and their hands were shaking like chaff. At this time, it was old shopkeeper Fan Lian who had experienced the storm and reacted quickly. He grabbed Gong Cheng's shoulder, actually took out a pistol from his arms and put it on his head.
"Gong Banlun...go to hell, you old bastard...you betrayed the Ryukyu Kingdom after all..." After saying this, the angry old shopkeeper was about to pull the trigger, but at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed towards him and kicked him. On Fan Yan's ribs.
With a snap, the gun rang out. But the bullet grazed Gong Cheng's ear and flew into the sky. Gong Cheng was rescued by Shimazu Dalang who arrived.
"Fuck... feed the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf... The Prime Minister has forgiven you Japanese, and now you dare to betray..." Cai Mao covered his bloody wrist, he was cursing, and he was using his body to protect King Shang Tai.
Shimazu's face was covered by the devil's mask, and no one knew his expression, but the traitor finally bowed to King Shangtai, "Your Majesty... the French are going to arrest them alive. Please don't resist." Already…”
Gong Cheng hid beside Shimazu Dalang. At this time, several Japanese samurai and his hard-core men, water dogs, came to protect him. The old man yelled crazily, "Hahaha... now you know who I am, Gong Cheng, right? You want to plot against me, you are still very young..."
"I just love to buy the country. I sold the Manchus and then sold you Ryukyus... What can you do? What can you do to me? In this world, the strong are respected, and the Westerners are the bosses... Do you accept it? If you don't accept it, I'll bite you. me……"
"Ah ha ha ha... Special envoy, I have delivered King Shang Tai to you as promised. The rest of the drama is up to you..."
Bruce rushed onto the stage and nodded to Gong Cheng, "You are very good. No wonder the British will give you a high salary... Don't worry, France's promise will be fulfilled... Now, all French warriors, capture these resisters alive, This is our hostage..."
The French have torn apart all the disguises. Now everyone understands that the strategy used by the French is exactly the same as the Spanish's method of annihilating the ancient Inca country, which relied on deception and kidnapping.
"Liar, Gong Cheng, you are a liar... Didn't you say you only want money? Didn't you say you just wanted to deal with Xiao Letian? Where is your promise? You liar..." Jin Changsen woke up like a dream, like a mad tiger He also rushed over, but he couldn't get close to Gong Cheng at this time.
The water dog raised his leg and kicked him in the chest. Old Man Jin was kicked back wherever he came from. Jin Changsen knelt on the ground and vomited out the sour water in his stomach.
"You...you lied to me...didn't you say...you said you would only deal with Xiao Letian? Didn't you say you only wanted money? I hate you so much, I'm so ruthless. Why should I believe you..."
Gong Cheng took out a fan from his sleeves and shook it arrogantly, "My lords, what Jin Changsen said is right. We have actually been in contact for a long time, but Jin Changsen is too stupid. In order to snatch that power from Xiao Letian, Don't hesitate to ally with me, an old liar..."
"Hahaha, Jin Changsen, do you think you have ever lied to me? I said that I would praise you as the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom afterwards, but you don't look at yourself in the mirror? Is there that piece of wormwood on your ancestral grave? You It’s also worthy of…”
Gong Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, thank you for helping me, and thank you for revealing so many details about Ryukyu to me. You are my great hero..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Yuanmiao rushed forward like crazy, grabbed Jin Changsen's collar and opened his bow from left to right, crying loudly while beating him.
"Shameless pig and dog... Are you a beast... Back then you took refuge with the Japanese, and now you have taken refuge with the old traitor. Do you still want to take refuge with the French?"
"Why didn't the Prime Minister kill you back then... Why didn't you die..." The slap was extremely loud, and Jin Changsen was too embarrassed to even parry.
