The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

After He Shen and others appeared in the capital of the Second Empire, the sun never set and other countries woke up.

But at this time, I realized that it was too late.

The day after He Shen arrived in Bailin, he officially presented his credentials to the Second Empire.

After receiving the credentials, Andrews assumed the status of Kaiser.

He was personally received at the City Palace.

Along the way, He Shen was full of curiosity about the emperor of the Second Empire.

Seeing the other party himself at this moment, he couldn't help but secretly observe.

Andrews is tall, handsome, and not angry.

He has a powerful aura of a king, and at first glance he is a king of great talent.

He Shen couldn't help but compare him with Emperor Qianlong, and found out.

The old Qianlong Emperor completely lost to this young man in aura, not to mention the vigor and self-confidence of the other party.

These are impossible to see in Emperor Qianlong, who has gradually become suspicious and suspicious in his late years.

Seeing that He Shen was distracted, Andrews smiled and said:

"Could it be that we didn't entertain well, didn't have a good rest with adults, and were not feeling well?"

He Shen woke up solemnly and quickly retracted his thoughts. 26

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, the foreign minister saw His Majesty's dragon body for the first time, and was taken by His Majesty's domineering, and he lost his temper for a while, and asked His Majesty to forgive his sins!"

Andrews laughed, and this guy followed Emperor Qianlong.

I haven't learned anything else, but I have learned the kung fu of sycophancy.

"Forgive you for your innocence, say, what is the so-called matter that your emperor sent you to my country?"

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, this guy He Shen looks quite honest.

Andrews wouldn't have taken it to heart because of such a trivial matter.

Compared with these, he was more concerned about the true intentions of Emperor Qianlong.

The purchase of arms is probably only a superficial intention, and Qianlong's real intentions are probably more than that.

Hearing Andrews's words, a hint of surprise flashed in He Shen's eyes.

He understood Andrews' question.

Sure enough, the world said no.

Kaiser Andrews was indeed a wise and intelligent man.

It is very difficult to deceive and conceal such a smart person!

"Well, we're hostile to the Wa Kingdom.

I heard that the Wa Kingdom had purchased a batch of arms from your country, and His Majesty the Emperor was very worried about this matter.

So they sent me over to find out the situation. "

Andrews nodded, as he expected.

The Celestial Empire must still be hoping to stop this deal and prevent the Japanese people from buying these weapons.

However, it is impossible for the Second Empire to agree to this request of the Celestial Empire.

Because it would ruin their business credibility.

If the Celestial Empire arrives before the Wa people and takes the lead in signing the contract.

Then the Second Empire, for its part, could refuse to sell arms to the Japanese.

But in fact, it was the Japanese people who took the lead in acting, and the Celestial Empire hurriedly sent people over to try to remedy it after the Japanese people succeeded.

The two are far apart in time, so for the Celestial Empire, they have long lost the opportunity.

Andrews had already rejected the Wa once five years earlier, and he had left the Celestial Empire for five years.

But the reaction speed of the Celestial Empire was too slow, and after such a long time, there was no movement at all.

So it's not anyone else that's causing the current situation, it's themselves.

"I'm sorry, but we have already signed an order with the Wa Kingdom, and the Empire has always been trustworthy in business.

So there's nothing we can do about it. "

Andrews came with a warm smile on his face, but the words he said made He Shen unable to laugh.

"Really, is there no room at all?" (read violent novels, just go to Feilu Novel Network!)

He Shen couldn't help but ask.

Andrews shook his head firmly, the matter of the credibility of the empire was not negotiable at all.

"But ......"

Seeing Heshen's disappointed expression, Bismarck on the side was afraid that the talks between the two sides would collapse.

So he hurriedly spoke: "We can give your country certain preferential treatment in other aspects." []

For example, open the more advanced Brandenburg-class battleships and sell them to your country. "

He Shen was stunned for a moment, and asked with a surprised face:

"I've heard that your country's Brandenburg-class battleships are in short supply, and the orders are already in place for five years.

Now that the Japanese have purchased warships, I am afraid that war between our two countries will soon break out.

In this case, we can't wait that long!"

The reason why the emperor sent Heshen over in a hurry was to catch up with the Japanese people.

Be the first to bring the warship home, so, this time they are coming for the ready-made battleship.

Battleships, which will have to wait several years for service, are not in their consideration.

"Don't worry, listen to me first!"

Bismarck saw that the other party had taken the bait, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The old god said:

"You want ready-made warships, we also have this, and the weapons and equipment are ready-made.

The run-in of the equipment has also been very perfect, if you drive it back, you can use it directly!"

"Oh, is there really such a ship?"

When He Shen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

If he could really buy such a warship, then the task of his trip would be basically completed.

"Yes, and it is our own equipment of five warships, all of which are very young and very well maintained, almost ninety percent new!"

"If you're interested, I can arrange for someone to take you there!"

Andrews finally spoke.

In fact, he wanted to talk to He Shen about other 530 things, such as the real purpose of Qianlong sending him over.

But since the topic has been diverted by Bismarck, let's settle this matter first!

After the first successful cooperation, there was more mutual trust between the two sides.

With such a foundation, it is easier to talk about other things.

Of course, Heshen was interested, although this was a battleship used by the German army.

Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a second-hand warship.

However, the other party said that these warships have not been in service for a long time, and they should not be the kind of old and dilapidated cheating goods.

So he decided to take a look, if it was new.

Then buy it, and even take the opportunity to bargain with the other party.

After all, the price of a second-hand warship can't be more expensive than a brand-new warship, right?

As for driving back to the Celestial Empire after buying it, who knows if it's new or old?

When the time comes, he will report according to the price of the new ship, as for the difference in the middle.

Then it will naturally go into his own pocket!

After quickly thinking through the whole operation process, He Shen couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

Five warships, each battleship is 100,000 pounds cheaper, that is 500,000 pounds, 1,600,000 taels of silver!

If you get the money, this trip to Europe will be worth it!
