During the entire Franco-Prussian War, the siege of Paris was a turning point for the Chinese. Before Paris siege, the Chinese strategy was to continue attacking, attacking, and then attack!

Although the number of people was small, they participated in the most important battles and achieved impressive results in each battle. Xiao Letian's purpose was very clear, which was to make the reputation of the Chinese people in this war and try to expand the results so that the final spoils would be divided.

In the era of crowds of wolves, your kindness must be exposed a little bit of fangs. I dare not say that it is afraid of Britain, France and other countries, but at least they must let them know that you are not easy to bully!

If you dare to start a war against the Chinese, maybe you will achieve the final victory, but you must remember that the Chinese will definitely fight you and tear off the biggest piece of flesh and blood on your body.

Even if you win in the end, you have to pay a heavy price, which is to turn your military adventure into a very likely deal to lose money.

Only in this way can the Chinese people obtain space for peaceful development!

After the end of the Battle of Sedang, Xiao Letian's strategy was adjusted, and it was enough to establish his authority. Not to mention the reputation of the army, the Zhiyuan naval battle that almost died together had already shocked the whole world.

The great military achievements made the whole of Europe stunned. At this time, Xiao Letian adjusted his strategy. He knew very well that too much was not enough. After all, he was Asian and was not in the same cultural circle as Europe. He would not treat you as his own person.

Excessive killing will have a counterproductive effect. It is one thing for one's own people to close their doors and fight too hard. Sometimes it will trigger a rebound in European national sentiment.

So since the siege of Paris, the Chinese have become depressed and guarded a Chapelle Gate and did not participate in any military operations. Of course, this city gate has become an area that many parties avoid, and the Chinese have actually started business here.

What business do you do? It is the most basic food smuggling!

The value of food in the war is more expensive than gold, and you even have money, but you have no place to buy it, because there are no people who can smuggle into Paris. At the critical moment when the Pudong army sieges, no force has such great energy except for the Chinese who can make a small hole.

After all, Beismai turned a blind eye to Xiao Letian's behavior. He knew that the rise of the Chinese people was too short of money, and the two had chatted in private.

The biggest difficulty facing the rise of the Chinese people is actually the problem of funds. Why did the Chinese sacrifice their lives and shed their blood in the European war and so many people died to cooperate with the rise of Prussia?

They were very honest, and they wanted to get the benefits after victory! The two sides were a cooperative relationship, and Xiao Letian threw all the betting chips on Prussia.

If you win, the Chinese will share a large piece of meat. Perhaps the initial industrialization start-up capital will be enough. If Prussia loses, the Chinese will also face huge international pressure. It is hard to say whether they can survive!

Knowing that Xiao Letian is not easy, and considering the in-depth cooperation between the two countries in the future, the Chinese smuggling business started quietly.

But there is one bottom line that Xiao Letian dare not touch, that is arms!

You Chinese smuggle some food, clothes, coal, and medical products, but don’t touch the arms. If you send an extra bullet to the city, maybe the life of the General Army on the battlefield is the battlefield!

The smuggling of the Shapele Gate has become a semi-public secret. At the beginning, it was the antique smuggling of Eugene and Andrew, which is actually a try.

Then Blankey's representative began to contact the Chinese people, hoping to buy some scarce supplies in the city directly, but the price offered by the Chinese people made people take a breath of air conditioning.

A bag of flour was only more than ten francs before the war. Now the Chinese people want 200 francs when they open their mouths, and only golden francs are needed.

In the past, I could buy a large bag of 50 francs, but now I don’t have a bargaining price for 800 francs, so I can’t guarantee the quantity!

The coal was even fried to 20,000 francs per truck, and the firewood cost 8,000 francs per truck, including cotton and clothing for winter, which surged by more than twenty times.

This is taking advantage of the situation, but Blankey and others have no choice at all. This is a monopoly smuggling business!

In just over two months, the funds flowing to the Chinese in Paris had exceeded 10 million gold francs, and all of them were cash and gold coins and not even a single piece of paper money.

Although Paris is very rich, after the destruction of war, a large amount of wealth is consumed. There are not many gold coins in the money market, and more are paper money guaranteed by the gold standard.

But the Chinese people only need cash and gold coins and not a single piece of paper money. Ten million gold coins have already searched the liquidity of the currency in Paris!

Why did the commune's material coordination department look so ugly during this period? The rich people in Paris have been searched several times, and almost all gold and silverware have been confiscated.

These gold, silver and precious metals are actually used to purchase materials from the Chinese!

But it is not enough, far from enough. The birth of paper money is a milestone in the history of human currency. Since the emergence of paper money under the gold and silver standard system, the big part of the currency circulation market is paper money.

Both the public and the businessman like to use this kind of paper money that is valuable and easy to carry, and give up the direct use of gold and silver currency.

There are few gold and silver coins in the circulation market, but as a result, the Chinese blackmailed them, the existing currency is even scarce!

In the end, Blankey and others had no choice but to compete for business with Eugene and Andrew. Aren't you selling cultural relics?

We can buy it, and it is sold in an organized manner!

Not to mention that this is really a way out. The Chinese people don’t want paper money but want antiques and cultural relics, especially cultural relics lost to Europe by China. The price of taking away one item is higher than buying it directly in currency.

It was from that day that the commune's material coordination department began to loot the rich again and again, and they did not even miss the displays in the house and the oil paintings on the wall.

Even Renaissance statues in the garden were pushed down and moved away!

Blankey and others are also senior intellectuals. How can they not feel sorry for the situation like this? But it is useless to feel sorry for it. Current affairs are difficult, they can’t watch millions of Parisian people starve to death!

But when will it be the end if it continues to plunder like this? Even if Paris is a treasure house, it cannot withstand such consumption of water. Just when Blankey and others were anxious, the Chinese people sent an invitation to have a secret talk.

Blankey made up his mind that this negotiation must use strong words to modify the transaction rules and must seek more resources!

In the dark night, the carriage made a series of ruts in the snow, making a creaking sound. Blankey, who was resting, kept organizing language, studying the personalities of Sima Yun and Luo Huo, attempting to create a breakthrough in negotiations.

But after he arrived at the Chinese camp, he found that the troops along the way were useless!
