C3234 You are beautiful, and your thoughts are beautiful as well!

The appetizer was over. The real meal was finally on stage. The topic had returned to the situation!

The three of them moved to the study room. They had long prepared hawthorn tea with a strong stomach and a low appetite. It was sweet and sour, just right for getting greasy!

"Since the leader has talked about this topic, I will be frank. The reason why I have come to visit you two is to discuss the withdrawal of our troops. This war is over, may I ask when will your troops be able to leave France?

Xiao Letian and Bismark smiled at each other, "Leave? It seems like our negotiations haven't ended yet, and we haven't gotten what we deserve. How could we withdraw our troops? "

"No, no, no, you will get what you want very soon …" Thiers said anxiously, "During my stay in Bordeaux, I have already coordinated many sides with each other. The war reparations that you requested would not be lacking by a single franc …"

"Two hundred and sixty million francs will be transferred to your established account in two months' time …"

Two hundred sixty million, that was the sum agreed upon in the armistice between the Interim Defence Government and Prussia.

Among them, Prussia received 200 million and Xiao Letian received 60 million. It was with this temporary ceasefire that the peace for the next few months came about.

Today, Thiers was extremely anxious to implement this treaty. His first mission was to get rid of these two great gods, and the occupying forces had to leave France first.

The third step was to rule over the entire to restore order.

It could be said that as long as the allied armies of China and Germany did not leave the France, then Thiers's governance would be criticized by the people, and his foundation would be unstable.

Two hundred sixty million francs was obviously a huge sum of money. At the moment, the France's treasury no longer had any money, and what Thiers had taken over was an empty country.

However, to the France's civilian capital, two hundred and sixty million was like a drizzle of rain. Before the elections, Thiers had already secretly negotiated with many of the capitalists.

The first thing he did after coming to power was to issue a batch of internal government bonds. This was the highest interest, and of course, he had the best credit. He would receive 400 million francs from the people.

Of that, 260 million was used as compensation towards the two great gods, while the remaining 140 million was used to pay for the army in the civil war. Thiers believed that this amount of money was enough for him to suppress the foreign forces and regroup his troops.

Four hundred million was a small amount of money to the capitalist classes who lent it to them. As long as you gave them high interest and used your country's credit as collateral, the money could be easily raised.

With money in his hands, along with the loyalty and loyalty of Paris garrison and Southern Regiment, and money and guns, Thiers finally came to negotiate with Bismark and Xiao Letian.

According to his calculations, two hundred and sixty million would have to be paid as compensation and sent away the occupying forces. The only thing left would be to suppress the Paris Commune and restore the prosperity of Paris.

After... Of course, he had other plans, and that would be nothing more than a walk in the park!

Thiers thought that he was very beautiful, really very beautiful, much more beautiful than him!

Looking at the President of France who was immersed in her narcissistic fantasy, Xiao Letian laughed like a flower and affectionately poured him a cup of hawthorn tea. "Dear President, you are so beautiful … "You wish for more!"

"Who told you two hundred and sixty million is enough?"

Thiers's face immediately darkened, "Could it be that you want to tear the contract? "This is something that will stir the anger of the masses …"

"No, no, no …" "Don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean to tear the treaty apart, but rather, this treaty was not a truce from the very beginning!"

"Please look carefully. The treaty clearly states that this is called the temporary armistice treaty …" It was just a temporary truce between Trochu and the others! "

"Would a real truce be so hasty? How many things ended without proper negotiation? "

"Haha, 260 million francs is not even enough to cover our military expenses. Do you still want us to withdraw our troops? "You're thinking too much!"

Thiers could not taste the sweetness of hawthorn fruit tea either. He put down the cup and said in a stern voice, "260 million francs, this is already an astronomical figure. It's almost 11 million pounds!"

"There has never been such a large amount of compensation in history. Is this not enough to fill your appetite?"

"Master Head of State, may I ask how much is the annual tax on Great Qing? Is there more than that? "

Xiao Letian looked at the agitated President and shook his head, "During the heyday of Great Qing, which is also the time of the dryad, one can earn fifty million silver taels a year.

"Your money is already equivalent to the's treasury of two years. It is indeed not small, not small at all …" "But it's still not enough, it's really not enough!"

Xiao Letian stretched out his hand and pressed down on the ground, "Don't be so agitated yet, let's not talk about how much money there is, we should talk about the specific terms that we have yet to discuss first!"

"The temporary truce didn't involve the Belgium's compensation limit. Yes, you didn't hear wrong, it's the Belgium … You must know that the French Emperor had sent cavalry to invade the Belgium! "

"So many people died. This is already a declaration of war. Belgian Army's team once accepted my command in Sai Dang. They are also participants in the war …"

"This should count, right? How much property did you destroy in the Belgium, and how many people did you kill?

"None of these temporary ceasefires!"

"Let's talk about the Chinese people again. The accounts have to be calculated, from the moment French Emperor sent the Expeditionary forces to attack Tyrant. How much damage did the whole of France's war effort do to the Chinese people? "Let's calculate clearly …"

"How many Chinese have we lost and how much wealth we have lost? We need to make up for that and the military expenditures that we have made …" Right … Also, you have to take into account the repair costs of the Zhiyuan Warship! "

"My Zhiyuan Warship finished all the cannonballs in the sea battle, so this is also money … Little money can't be ignored either! "

"There's always a total, and then there's still more..." Let's add a punitive fine! "

"Don't be angry, of course you'll be fined! You declared war in France. You are the one who initiated the war! You lost in the end, and your actions were spurned by the humans. In order to teach you a lesson, don't you have to pay!? "

"You have to pay a fine, or else you won't remember. What if you invade someone else in the future?"

"Haha, look, how many debts have we not settled?" Two hundred and sixty million is really enough? "

At this time, Bismark stroked his beard and said, "The leader doesn't count! We still have so many French prisoners on our hands, and if we want to release them, we'll have to pay for them! "
