269 ??Pierre
There were actually shouting negotiators among the French, which 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 already controlled the situation and the situation had escalated.
Not only that, in Xiao Letian's telescope, in their north, there were smoke and dust rising. You can guess at the speed of the smoke and dust. A large number of cavalry must be coming to reinforce, and the French have guessed their abscond route.
"Prime Minister, all plans must be changed. It is no longer realistic to go north. These people are trying their best to push us to the southeast. Once the encirclement net in the north reaches our east, that is, right in front of our journey, we will really become rats in the cage..."
Paul's pessimistic judgment makes sense. After experiencing the initial chaos, the French encirclement forces have shown their due elite qualities under the direct command of Pierre.
After all, France is an old empire, and its rich talent background is not exaggerated. At this time, its national strength is far superior to Prussia. To deal with such a country, it can only choose to attack sneak attacks instead of head-on conflicts.
What's more, with top intelligence personnel like Pierre in charge, Xiao Letian and his team's retreat has been completely cut off.
At this time, Xiao Letian didn't say a word. His brain was nervously judging the situation. He would not give up easily. In his eyes, any Jedi would have a glimmer of vitality.
After a long time, Xiao Le Tian spoke, "Mr. Paul, what should we do with your opinion?"
"I'm very sorry, Prime Minister, now I can only recommend that you surrender... No, no, the word surrender cannot be used in you. You are just revealing your true identity to the French government. With your status in East Asia, the French will not make things difficult for you. Once the conflict enters the diplomatic negotiation process, it can at least ensure the safety of you and your guards..."
Xiao Letian frowned and said, "No, if this happens, the French will never let me go to Prussia. And they will negotiate with Pesme. My army can only return home in shame in the end, and all my 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. Even the frigate will not be held accountable for being bombed and sunk. After all, they are the ones who fired the fire first... But what about you? Mr. Paul, the anger of the French will be vented on your head. You must know that the life and death of spies will never be visible!"
Xiao Letian's words moved Paul. He said with a serious expression, "Thank you for your concern for us, but this is our destiny. Since we have chosen to survive in the underground world, we have our awareness. For the benefit of Prussia, we are willing to sacrifice our own lives..."
Xiao Letian sighed and asked a question and answer, "Do you have any other choices? Tell me..."
"If you are unwilling to bow your head to the French, we can only break through in the direction of Besançon, which borders Switzerland. If we can break through to Switzerland, a neutral country, we will naturally get the full support of Prussia, but it is hard to say whether we can successfully break through..."
Xiao Letian thought carefully and suddenly smiled, "I feel that we have a third way out... Have you seen 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 have guessed my identity."
Paul was a little stunned after hearing this, but then he thought it through, "I understand. Although these French people were under pressure in the pursuit just now, they didn't shoot a single shot. They were very restrained. I think even if they didn't know your identity, they could guess that you were a big man..."
Xiao Letian and Paul bit their ears for a long time, and then Paul shouted to the pursuers behind him in his skillful French, "French soldiers chasing over, find a general manager to come out... In the water mill ahead, a big man from the East wants to negotiate with you..."
"Please keep calm. This negotiation involves France's interests and is a very important diplomatic incident. Please ask your soldiers to retreat and keep a distance of 500 meters, so as not to cause misunderstandings between the two sides..."
Paul's shouting caused a commotion in the camp of the Fargo country. A quarrel came with the sound of the wind. Then the French soldiers stopped, but the muzzle of the musket was still aimed at Xiao Letian and the others.
The French were not that stupid. It was impossible to leave a distance of five hundred meters by Paul, but the buffering of more than two hundred meters was still a little bit. After about ten minutes, a middle-aged man in a dirty suit walked towards the mill with a white handkerchief.
"Damn it! It's Pierre... it's Pierre, the gold-medal intelligence officer who has been refrigerated for seven years in the French Army. No wonder their siege is so accurate!" Paul devoted his life to Prussian intelligence career, and he knew very well about some of the secrets inside France.
"Prime Minister, we may not be able to pass this time. Pierre is a very famous intelligence officer in France. He is best at finding hidden veins in the complex intelligence network. If he hadn't been refrigerated for seven years, I think France's intelligence level would have risen a lot..."
Xiao Letian was happy after listening to Pierre's story. Unexpectedly, the French had already become like this in this year? Oh, no, no, people call this romance, and it is called pursuing perfect love. It has no meaning to the Chinese people's understanding of romance.
The mill stored a lot of straw. People sat nervously on it and looked out through the wooden slit. Everyone's hearts were raised to their throats, but they didn't expect that Xiao Letian and Paul could still laugh.
Hu Niu 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 were so angry that they spat on the ground.
"Bao, babe, babe, babe... what a good thing, it's worth joking. None of these foreigners is good!"
Just as he was scolding, the door of the mill was wide open, and Pierre, who was holding the white handkerchief, was brought in by Master Long.
"Oh, my God! Are these three angels? Are these the Eastern princesses who came out of fairy tales?" Pierre was completely helpless. After entering the house, he saw the three of Hu Niu and the others. At that moment, he felt his heart stop beating.
Xiao Letian was also stunned. He never expected that this big-nosed Frenchman would put him, the Eastern Prime Minister, and strode to Hu Niu first, kneeled on one knee and started talking nonsense.
"Beautiful angels, God's guidance has allowed me to see you. Can I kiss your hand? Please don't look at me with such a surprised look. I am not a weirdo. I am just a little lamb impressed by your charm. I ask you to give me the deepest love..."
Paul was also stupid. No wonder Pierre was hidden for seven years. He dared to seduce his engaged daughter from the general's family, and now he is attacking the family of the Eastern Prime Minister. He is so thick-skinned that even Europeans can't stand it anymore.
"Translator, quickly translate for me... What did you say when you knelt in front of my wife?" 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 was as vulgar as him.
Before Paul could translate, Hu Niu saw a big slap in the face with a loud bang, and Pierre's eyes were filled with stars. When he calmed down, he found that a pistol had been pressed against his forehead.
"You big nose is so rude! You dare to talk nonsense to my aunt. Don't think I can cheat me if I don't know how to speak foreign languages. Your thief eyes have to be detained..."
Pierre sat on the ground in fear, kicked his legs several times and quickly avoided the hot-tempered beauty. He kept saying regretfully, "Why do you do this? I just want to express my most sincere love, I have no malice..."
Xiao Letian said coldly in English, "Mr. Pierre, you'd better stop making tricks. That's my wife. Do you want to force me to duel with you? I'm afraid you're not my opponent..."
It was not until this time that Pierre woke up from his lustful state. He quickly stood up and bowed to Xiao Letian. "Please forgive me for losing my composure. I think you are the mysterious big man from the East... No, no, you don't need to introduce yourself to me. Can you allow me to guess?"
"I have been hiding in the French intelligence agency for seven years. I don't know much of the latest information. I can only analyze it from the limited information I have been exposed to in the past two days... First of all, you are a Chinese, which is unquestionable, but at the same time you have not left the Qing Dynasty braids and have a 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 too much Eastern intelligence. I can only boldly assume... You are Chinese but not Qing, so your power should be in the colonies covered by the Han people... Oh, by the way, you are called vassal states and look for them..."
"Since you can get in touch with the Western civilization world, it is impossible for you to stay away from the ocean. There are only a few vassal states along the Qing Dynasty, including North Korea, Ryukyu, Vietnam and Japan... No, right? The Japanese no longer recognize that they are vassal states of the Qing Dynasty..."
"North Korea has always followed the same mainland policy as the Qing Dynasty, so I have to eliminate him, so there are only Ryukyu and Vietnam left... Ah, Vietnam has always been under the actual control of our France. It is difficult for him to be considered a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. It is more like a colony of our French..."
Speaking of this, Pierre bowed again to salute Xiao Letian. "There is only one possibility. I guess you should be a big figure in the Ryukyu Kingdom. And I also know that there is a huge army of officers waiting for you in Hamburg, and that small island country in Ryukyu cannot provide you with so many talents..."
"So, your power should have expanded to the entire territory of Ryukyu and part of the Qing Dynasty. Your first level of identity should be an official member of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and your second level of identity should be an opposition politician of the Qing Dynasty. Haha, I think my guess should be 80% correct, what do you think?"
Pierre's English is also fluent. After this analysis, Xiao Letian and Paul were both stunned. This is simply a monster. They were hiding for seven years and did not get in touch with the latest information. Through this mission, only by contacting only part of the information, they could dig out Xiao Letian's true identity. This is too terrifying.
"I really didn't expect that you, a lustful Frenchman, are really a talent... Otherwise, you think about having sex with me, how about I'll give you a high salary?" Xiao Letian forgot that moment that big nose had just teased his wife, and he rushed up and grabbed Pierre's hand.
"Think about it, France doesn't value you anyway. Such a talent is willing to keep it cold. It's really a waste of resources!"
