When night fell, the North Navy camp located on the clearing ground between the castle and the beach, bursts of meat, oil and seasonings were mixed with indescribable aromas, causing the French soldiers who were gnawing bread on the castle and drinking fish soup to swallow their saliva.

At the same time, a grand welcome dinner also began in the local governor's office. When Deng Fei and a group of Northern Navy officers entered the hall in gorgeous and well-made military dresses, the French people present were stunned, especially the governor's wife, whose face changed suddenly.

The reason she was nervous was that at the beginning of the French Revolution in 1789, revolutionaries composed of citizens called themselves "sans-culottes", that is, "people who do not wear tight shorts."

Yes, the trousers of this year are just like jeans from the 19th century, and are only worn by the lower class of society. The tops of the nobles are embroidered dresses with lace cuffs; knee-length leggings should be worn on the lower body, usually dark gray or black, and long stockings and short boots and shoes with heels. If a nobleman wears a pair of almost transparent, snow-white and dazzling silk shorts, he will definitely be the star in social occasions and the dazzling ones.

This kind of French dress influenced Europe throughout the 18th century. No matter which country the nobles in the country, they must have this dress and fluent French.

When they landed in the daytime, although Deng Fei and the others were in similar costumes, the French thought it was the other party's work clothes, but they did not expect that the same would be true when they were in the formal occasion.

The trousers that everyone in Beihai Town wore, which had a long foot-length legs without tucking their mouths, looked straight and crisp, and they looked very neat and neat with the top and black leather shoes on their feet. However, in the eyes of the nobles, it was still a clothing for inferior people, which made many people immediately think of the people who attacked the Bastille.

After Deng Fei gave the kiss again, the governor's wife pointed at the medal on the other party's chest with a fan and asked curiously: "Lieutenant General, I noticed that you and your officers had those long squares hanging on the chest. Is it a decoration?"

The Governor's wife, who changed into evening gown, was wearing a white evening gown dotted with vines and flowers. Her snow-white shoulders, shiny hair and brooch necklace were shining. Deng Fei also felt a little dizzy with her completely exposed breasts and spine.

"La belle personne!" It was really charming. For a moment, he felt that if Zhao Xin came too, he might have to have something to do with this woman.

"Medals are simplified." Deng Fei said that, and then he pulled over the battalion commander of the Special Forces Battalion, and briefly explained under the curious eyes of the French people, what is a rank mark and a military service mark. In addition, there are rank marks and decoration marks.

In Europe this year, there have been no medals, and officers will hang the medals above their left chest; if they are senior generals, they will be wearing metal armor, which will definitely block the shooting of a lead bullet.

Elu has experienced many battles over the years and is considered a cruel person, but he has never experienced this scene! Especially when a group of women with plump breasts surrounded him, his dark cheeks soon turned red and purple like drinking too much. The strong perfume and powder around him were almost breathless. At this moment, he wanted to turn around and escape from the Governor's Mansion and eat a big pot with his subordinates.

Because some guests had not arrived yet, before the dinner began, everyone went to the living room to sit for a while, and the natives dressed in French servants were walking through the crowd with wine. The French were surrounded by Deng Fei and the Governor, quietly listening to them chatting about some stories about Beihai Town, and exaggerating from time to time. Erlu, Jiao Xun, Huang Chengji and others were all sitting on the sofa, looking at everything here with curious eyes. Of course, they couldn't understand French at all.

At present, except for Deng Fei, the French level of the other people in the mission is limited to saying hello. Not to mention the various fancy abuses of verb conjugation and grammatical rules, the small tongue sound alone makes them feel overwhelmed.

Governor Leclerc said: "Lever-General, what do you think of the riot that happened in Europe? I heard from Count La Peruz that you know very well about the situation in Europe."

"My opinion is that the situation in your country is about to fall into an uncontrollable situation. Conspiracy, betrayal, internal strife, murder, and even massacre will bring about France, oh, what I mean is the complete destruction of the upper class, and then..."

Speaking of this, he shrugged and spread his hands.

"Ahem! Gentlemen, don't talk to me about those villains on such a wonderful night. Maybe I don't know anything, but what they do is to destroy order! His Majesty the King is so kind and moral, but look at what the so-called "National Council" did? They canceled the franchise of the East India Company, and soon local governance will become chaotic and the good situation will no longer exist! And the British, hum~~"

After hearing the complaint of the governor's wife, Deng Fei quickly answered: "You are right! Now the British and our enemies, the Qing regime, have cooperated with them to provide them with a lot of military aid. In addition, they have also sold a large amount of opium produced in Mawa to Guangzhou, and we have long wanted to deal with them!"

After hearing this, the French people present smiled on their faces. For the French, as long as the British were defeated, everyone would like to hear it. As they were talking, the housekeeper came to report that several late-arriving princes also arrived, so he announced that the dinner began, and everyone walked towards the restaurant.

Speaking of which, before leaving, Zhao Xin held a special symposium with everyone and explained many habits such as Europeans to avoid making jokes.

Regarding eating, Zhao Xin said this to everyone: "Why do you guys, if you can use knives and forks, then use them. If you can't use them, bring your own chopsticks. We don't need to follow those Europeans. We should know that this time they are asking us. Don't be confused by their gorgeous tableware and pomp. Even if those knives and forks are made of gold and silver, they are still knives and forks. Our ancestors were eliminated more than three thousand years ago! Those Europeans were complacent and thought it was civilization. They asked me to say that chopsticks are the peak of human dietary tools! Not to mention the distance, whether they were their kings or nobles, they grabbed them from the bowl with their hands more than a hundred years ago, and at most they had a spoon to drink soup. In general, the significance of European banquets is greater than the connotation. Filling the stomach is secondary, and socializing is the core."

For the general public in Beihai Town, "King Zhao" is right no matter what he says; in view of this, Zhao Xin rarely expressed his opinions publicly. However, his words to the members of the mission still worked. When everyone, including Elu and Jiao Xun, saw that the sides of the dining plate on their positions were filled with various knife and fork, decisively took out a small light blue box from their top pockets, and after opening it, they were divided into two pairs of chopsticks.

Then, when they saw the Seris picking up the creamy snacks with chopsticks as if no one was around, both the French and indigenous princes and the indigenous servants serving them almost fell out of their plates.

Governor Leclerc was just surprised and regained his expression and chose to ignore it. Compared to the strange Seris who used two wooden sticks to eat, he was more concerned about how much support Beihai Town could give him. The Governor's wife continued to chat with Deng Fei at the dinner table and discussed the domestic situation. It can be seen that she was very interested in the Lieutenant General who spoke fluent French.

"Freedom and equality, gentlemen, these are all lies. Although I personally love freedom and equality, Rousseau actually said, "The flower of freedom must be continuously irrigated with the blood of a tyrant." What a terrible thing this is! Will people become happier after the revolution? No, I think the opposite is true."

"Yes, "Theory of Social Contracts." Deng Fei said lightly: "But Madam, France is indeed time to need change. Social contradictions have intensified to the peak. If the king does not act, the emerging bourgeoisie will seize power. In order to ensure their revolution, that is, to implement the republic to the end, they will definitely attack the king and the nobles."

"God! This is too terrible." The Governor's wife shrugged and then began to concentrate on dealing with the buttery dessert on the plate.

It was briefly agreed that Deng Fei and his friends visited the local governance for two days, and then asked the Governor and the Governor's wife to visit the Thor for a while, and then the two sides started a five-day negotiation and negotiation.

Zhao Xin let the Qing Dynasty be the first pawn and created a territory for Beihai Town in northern India and West Bengal. The purpose was nothing more than to disrupt the expansion of the British East India Company and prevent the British from dominating the South Asian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. In this way, it was necessary to unite the French and the Mysore Kingdom, which was dedicated to fighting the British.

If French India continues to have the ability to cause trouble for the British, the 3.0 version of the French East India Company cannot go bankrupt, and local governance cannot be lost. To achieve this goal, the king, as the spokesperson of the Catholic Church and the representative of the nobles, cannot die, at least his youngest son cannot die; otherwise, the French East India Company, which was labeled as a counter-revolutionary group, will definitely go bankrupt next year!

You should know that Louis XVIII, who inherited the throne in another time and space, is still the Earl of Provence. He is now 37 years old and fled to Brussels last year. If Beihai Town wants to establish a relationship with him, he is really not capable, and the other party may not buy it.

But Louis Charles, who was only seven years old, would be different! If the child could be placed under the control of Beihai Town, Zhao Xin would have an excuse to interfere in the issue of ownership of Louisiana in the future.

For Governor Leclerc, he is more concerned about the situation in India now, and he is completely unable to deal with it in the face of the British's aggressiveness.

Two years ago, the third "British-Mysore War" broke out. Before the war began, the Governor of Cornwallis formed an anti-Mysore alliance with Marata and Hyderabad, increasing the enthusiasm of the two sides to participate in the war based on the territory and reparations of Mysore. The troops of the British East India Company divided into three groups to attack Mysore, Hyderabad and Marata also launched an attack, and the two sides exchanged fire at the same time on the Kanatic, Malabar and Deccan Plateau.

After realizing that it was impossible to continue to resist, Tip Sudan chose to negotiate with Cornwalis last spring. Just last month, the Kingdom of Mysore reached the Treaty of Selinga Patan, where Mysore ceded half of the territory to Hyderabad, the Maratha Alliance and the British East India Company, and had to pay more than 3 million pounds of compensation. Tip's two sons were also sent to Kolkata as hostages.

On the other hand, although they formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Mysore to fight against Britain, due to the signing of the Paris Treaty in 1785, they could only provide military personnel training to the Kingdom of Mysore and guide the construction of weapons workshops, or send "volunteer" personnel, and could not provide official large-scale assistance.

Deng Fei keenly felt from the introductions of Leclerc and other French people that in fact, the British East India Company was also facing considerable military pressure, so they took the initiative.

Although the British destroyed local governance and weakened France's influence in India as early as the Seven Years War, with the end of the North American War of Independence, Mysore, Hyderabad and Marathas collaborated with the French again. Faced with France's repeated interruption of Britain's colonial plan in India, the British of course had to take the initiative first.

Since both Britain and France adopted the practice of hiring natives to join soldiers locally, the British East India Company's army performed very mediocrely on the front battlefield, and could not determine the outcome by strength like conventional military wars. Instead, it intervened in Indian political affairs with diplomacy and sought rationality for war annexation, and then determined the outcome by combining political conspiracy with military actions.

So on June 28, 1792, Deng Fei signed a secret agreement on behalf of the town of Beihai and Leclerc, the governor of French East India. Because Louis XVI is now under house arrest and the governor cannot obtain formal authorization, he can only use the form of a memorandum.

The two parties agreed in the agreement that Beihai Town would send 1,000 "volunteers" to provide military training to the Kingdom of Mysore with the assistance and cooperation of the French East India Company. As for whether Beihai Town would sell arms to the Kingdom of Mysore, it has nothing to do with the French.

The two sides also agreed: First, the North Navy will provide maritime and land support when local governance is attacked by the British, and the French East India Company will pay remuneration based on the number of artillery on the heads and ships; Second, during the visit to France, the mission of the North Sea Town will assist in rescuing King Louis XVI and his family with the support of Leclerc and Peter and others; Third, the North Sea Town will rescue the imprisoned Governor Leclerc and his wife's family members and bring them back to local governance; Fourth, in exchange, the French East India Company will withdraw its trade office in Guangzhou, and all subsequent purchases will be converted to cooperate with the North Sea Town Trade Department.
