Chapter 364 A fish has been hooked
In the middle of the quiet Louvre Hall, Master Li, accompanied by French President Lube, stood in front of the beautiful statue of Venus with a broken arm and a broken arm.
Behind her, Luo Sanniang's cheeks were crimson with Fang Xianqi, because the statue with broken arms in front of her was semi-naked, handsome face, well-proportioned figure, especially the eye-catching towering room, and the clothes that faded to the hips all made the traditional oriental beauty's auricle astringent.
"Sister, why don't these foreigners wear clothes?" Luo Sanniang lowered her voice, leaned on Fang Xianqi's shoulder, and asked quietly, "And those paintings on the wall are all undressed. Is it possible that when they are drawn..."
"Probably." Fang Xianqi was also slightly astringent. I don't know why the whisper in her ear made her mind a scene of the painter's writing, ** dancing in groups, especially when she thought that these days Li Mo often let her two sisters accompany her at the same time, and she couldn't help but blush on her cheeks.
Fortunately, her father also stayed abroad, so she could accept some Western culture, and her face gradually returned to white. However, when she saw the burning eyes of Master Li staring at the statue in front of her, her cheeks couldn't help blushing.
"How can this dead man stare at him without blinking? Does he like foreign women? Why don't you discuss it with your sisters to see if there is a suitable one to hold his heart?
Mrs. Fang's beautiful eyes are shy, but it's a pity that Master Li doesn't know the thoughts of the two beautiful girls behind her, otherwise she would be excited to spray nosebleeds.
Everyone knew that while Master Li supported his arm and pretended to appreciate it, he was thinking about how to get this thing home. You know, the Venus statue is one of the treasures of the three major town halls of the Louvre. If you take it back, you can stand in the middle of the fountain just built at the gate of Xinhua Garden and watch her take a shower every day.
How cool!
Unfortunately, after thinking about it, I couldn't find a way to get a few tons of Venus back unconsciously. I had to sigh and wait to see if I could find the legendary light kung fu master and give the Mona Lisa's smile back to the young master to play.
"Mr. Li Mo, this is our treasure of France, which is..."
"The treasure of France?" Before the accompanying staff of the Louvre explained, Li Mo pretended to be surprised and pointed to the statue of Venus and said, "Isn't this Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty in Greek mythology? Legend has it that Zeus married her to the ugly god of fire because of love, but she fell in love with Ares, the god of war, and gave birth to a little god of love. Finally, she helped Prince Paris of Troy abduct Helen, the wife of Menelao, the king of Sparta, and the most beautiful woman in Greece, which caused the ten-year war of the Greeks' expedition to Troy.
"I remember my teacher once told me that this statue was found on the island of Milos in Greece. It's a pity that she was so perfect, but she lost her arms because of the war."
Master Li's merciless words made the commentator's face red and white, but it was not so simple to listen to President Lube and other entourage. Perhaps at this moment, many Venus stories that Europeans did not know could be accepted to spread to the Far East, but the conflict against this statue, and the conflict It caused the broken arms, but not many people knew about it!
Especially the reporters next to them, who were accompanied by the whole process, opened their mouths in astonishment. Before entering the Louvre, they wanted to take the opportunity to see the jokes of the whimsical young emperor who was on an equal footing with France, but they didn't expect that the other party even had Greek myths and stories. They are all right, and they even know the past of the Venus statue!
A young emperor from the Far East, half a earth, can tell the twists and turns that Europeans rarely know. In addition to showing that he has a deep study of Europe, he can't find a second reason to explain it.
"But why does an emperor of the Far East study the history of Europe like this?" Lu Bei and others looked at Li Mo, who was sorry for the statue, and suddenly brushed a cold wind.
"Dear Emperor, your teacher must be an erudite. This statue of Venus was indeed unearthed from Greece, but we found it so that it was not in the dust, so that the whole of Europe can appreciate the appearance of the goddess, so our France is worthy of the title of owner." President Lubei put aside the gloom in his heart and said with a smile.
Li Mo looked at the stubborn old man beside him, who was born in a peasant family, but enthusiastically supported the French colonial expansion, and smiled and said, "Your Excellency President is very reasonable, but I still have a pity. What a beautiful goddess if her arms are still there."
"Yes, I also look forward to it, but in that case, I will lose my greatest charm." President Lube touched his beard and said, "Mr. Li Mo, don't you think it's better to be disabled sometimes?"
Li Mo didn't know what the old man meant. The lip line at the corners of his mouth bent down and said decisively, "I don't think, maybe I'm a perfectionist, so I prefer to see a perfect statue of a goddess, and I hope my country can be complete!"
President Lube narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect Li Mo to react so quickly. He waved his hand to let the reporters stop recording before laughing and said, "That's very simple. If you can't sell that battleship to Germany, I think France is very willing to help you keep the country intact!"
Li Mo's footsteps stopped slightly. After this sentence was said from the mouth of the French president, even Tang Shaoyi and Yan Fu next to him were breathing abnormally. The other party's meaning was already obvious. As long as the technology of the new battleship is not handed over to Germany, France will immediately withdraw from the southeast and support the unification of Xinhua!
This is a great **, and the cost is small. Maybe everyone will agree immediately when they hear it, but Li Mo suddenly frowned.
When did the Frenchman talk so well?!
Li Mo is not a fool who can be easily fooled by freedom and Mingzuo's appearance. If he really believes in the whole set of things, he could easily promote the republican system with his strength at the beginning, so that he would not force the respected Mr. Sun to go to Guangxi as a teacher.
No matter what era and system France implements, it is not a respectable partner. On the one hand, it has established a so-called free cloak since the Revolution, but in essence, it has carried out unjust colonial wars in Africa and the Far East. Even after being defeated by Germany, it still spares no effort to push it. If it weren't for bad luck, maybe even Britain would fall into its hands.
He claims to be free and pays attention to cooking, but the first Eight-Nation Alliance killed no fewer Chinese than other countries. What makes Li Mo look down on is that even when he was the most difficult in World War I and World War II and needed allies the most, he never pretended to be Chinese and cruelly used China. Child labor is famous all over the world.
Even in later generations, he is not much better than the United States. There was a civil war and massacre in Africa. There was no shadow of France in that time. Compared with Uncle Sam, who liked to fight directly with his bare arms, this kind of elegant bayonet was more disgusting!
Now, he did not mention that he needed the battleship, but proposed to retreat from the southeast as long as he did not give the battleship to Germany and support his unification, which obviously had a strong sense of conspiracy.
No country can block the Chinese ship, an epoch-making battleship**. Even Britain has secretly sent special envoys to contact itself, hoping to pass the artillery retreat technology. France has no reason not to need it, and now they never mention it. There is only one reason!
They have reached the threshold, and have even produced a sample gun!
This is very likely. His withdrawal technology was also made by the French Moa under his own inducement. Before Moa was recruited, he had discussed it with several French mechanics. Historically, Miss 75 in France was also secretly equipped in the past few years, so they are very likely to have reached the threshold. .
Although I don't like it, no one can deny that France in the early 20th century was an era of ideological explosion. There were many technologies that affected future generations, such as submarines and Miss 75, which were first made by France, especially aviation technology, which once led the world. There are a large number of people from France in its own academy. Scientists, if it hadn't been for the technology leak later, maybe France would be the only owner of the dreadnought now!
To be honest, Lu Bei did give a very attractive condition. If you don't consider the future, or just for the sake of stability and stability, then this condition can't be rejected, but the problem is that whether you are reincarnated or not, this war in Europe cannot be avoided, because it is the product of the intensification of contradictions in various countries. There is nothing to stop it.
It can be seen from the fact that President Lube would rather give up the southeast and prevent Germany from getting battleship technology that the depth of the conflict between France and Germany is irreconcilable at all!
In fact, Li Mo doesn't like Germany. In fact, Germany is not much better than France, but the problem is that before he came here, Britain and France had too many world resources. Even if it was a small Italy, the colony he spent several years to work hard was not comparable to, not to mention that there was a Ruo behind them. If the looming United States chooses to stand on the side of Britain and France, why should it take over the colonies and resources in their hands and establish a world order of its own in the future?!
It is inevitable to choose Germany, not only because you can rely on Germany to contain polar bears in Europe, but also because if you abandon Germany, you can only follow Britain, France and other countries for a lifetime, unless you continue to wait for the second torrent, but you will encounter the threat of the United States, so from the day of his reincarnation, I never thought of fighting all the time!
Besides, it is not France that determines the fate of the Far East now, but the United Kingdom, Miss France, separated from the Strait of France! Let's continue to worry about Germany!
Thinking of this, Li Mo's lips gradually hardened. He turned his head and looked at Lu Bei with an old peasant face, and suddenly smiled at him: "Dear Mr. President, your proposal makes me very excited, but do you think France has the power to prevent the reunification of my country? But in order to show my sincerity, I am willing to agree to this condition.
"Really?!"
Lu Bei almost exclaimed. Although Li Mo's words were a little harsh and despised France's determination, he had no time to think about it at this time, but he had just opened his mouth and was ready to continue talking, and was blocked by Li Mo.
"Wait, dear Mr. President, please let me finish my words. Before I promise your goodwill, I have an additional condition, that is, your country will immediately withdraw your loan assistance to Russia, stop supporting Nicholas II, and make a public statement to support me and give up Russia, because I don't want to have an enemy to help me. People's friends!"
"This is impossible!"
President Lube and other entourage immediately sank their faces. It is impossible for France to accept Li Mo's condition. Not to mention what happens once France withdraws the loan and stops supporting the Russian parliament, it is impossible for France to give up the natural ally Nicholas II, just to deal with the increasingly ambitious Germany. !
If France really makes this statement, I'm afraid that Russia will immediately turn back to Germany. In that case, the Russian-French relations established for more than a decade will be completely regressed, and the goal of joining hands with Russia to deal with Germany will be completely ruined. It may also face revenge from Germany and Russia, and even take the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. It may affect Italy!
France must not take such a move. France is not Britain, and it has no strength to go against the whole of Europe!
President Lube looked at Li Mo's firm eyes and seemed to understand why this young guy could cross the Far East, because his eyes were so sharp that he saw through the embarrassing situation of France at a glance!
He is too familiar with Europe!
"Mr. Li Mo, I don't think we can reach an agreement this time. Why don't we continue to visit?" The corners of Lu Bei's mouth crooked: "By the way, the Oriental Pavilion of the Louvre has just been built. Are you interested in visiting it? There are many exquisite works of art from the East!"
Oriental Hall!
The corners of Li Mo's mouth suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley, and the faces of Yan Fu and others next to him suddenly became unnatural. These Frenchmen are really rampant! โโ
On the other side of the beautiful Lake Leman in France, several fishing enthusiasts threw hooks at Lake Neiva in their mouth. The perennial white snow on the top of the Alpine mountain in the distance brought vitality to the big lake and raised countless people living here.
In the distance, the small city of Neiva loomed from time to time. In the lush green of the continuous mountains, the red roof and white snow appeared together and stood by the lake. It even makes people wonder whether they have walked into a beautiful picture.
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Vladimir took a deep breath, as if he wanted to keep the peace and tranquility in his heart forever. However, after several deep breaths in a row, he found that he still could not dispel the persistence in his heart, so he had to shake his head with a wry smile and walked to a fisherman in a remote place.
"Dear Xue, how is today's harvest?"
Vladimir walked to the angler and greeted him with a smile, and Xue's body in his mouth was slightly shocked. It seemed that he did not expect him to come at this time, and a different light suddenly flashed in his black eyes.
"Very good."
In Vladimir's greetings, Xue smiled and shook the fish basket in the heavy water, and then got up and held his outstretched hand fiercely.
Looking at Xue, who is in his forties and full of Eastern elegance, Vladimir doesn't know what it's like in his heart.
From the standpoint of a friend, the oriental man in front of him is his lifesaver. He took himself out of the gloomy prison behind the high wall. He also funded himself to set up the first newspaper in Germany. He also provided funds to return to his motherland full of corruption and evil to mobilize those prolific orders. Class workers, go and tell them their truth.
This person, who owns too much oriental elegance, seems to have endless wisdom. Being with him is like talking with a knowledgeable Confucian.
But it is also this person, which makes him feel a little uneasy, because this person comes from the Far East and the country that has just come out of war. What he doesn't understand most is that he still doesn't know why he wants to fund himself, although he once expressed great interest in his political opinions and has become his real The first listener, but at the thought of the young man who rose in the Far East and was still across the shore of the lake, he somehow always felt palpitated.
But he has no choice. Nicholas II is still searching for him everywhere. His political opinions are not appreciated by those nobles. More importantly, he lacks enough funds. Although he has been shouting for the proletariat, in the final analysis, he can only be an eternal cry for the lack of money.
If you want to realize your dream, you must have enough funds, but this person has something urgently needed!
"Dear Vladimir, what's the matter with you today?" Xue smiled and patted the grass beside him: "It's very clean here."
Vladimir was not polite and sat next to him: "Xue, I don't like to go around. I want to borrow money from you today."
"Loan?" Xue gently held the fishing rod and looked at the buoy. There was a faint smile in his eyes, but there was the opposite surprise on his face. He asked curiously, "Vladimir, although we are friends, I am not a banker. If you really need a loan, I happen to know some bankers in Neva. Maybe they I'm willing to help you."
"No." Vladimir shook his head: "Xue, I don't want to lie to you. I have contacted some bankers, but they all rejected me, but I'm about to go back to China. I urgently need a sum of money, so I came to you for help."
"return to China? Why? Nicholas II can be wanted for you everywhere. Aren't you afraid?
Vladimir smiled and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of. I just want to see a few friends."
"Do you need a lot of money to see your friends?" Xue smiled sneeringly from the bottom of his heart. He didn't dare to compliment the emperor's focused guy. He really didn't know why the emperor spent so much energy and money on him.
But he also has to admit that this person does have his own charm. Although he is an idiot in economic terms, his political opinions can really attract many people. In particular, his speech is still very inciting. Not to mention in Russia, even Germany and France have a Some of his followers.
And it was because he played the role of his follower that he was close to him and gained a trace of trust. All right." After thinking about it, Xue turned his head and said, "I can lend you some, but you know, I'm a businessman, so."
Hearing that the other party was relieved, Vladimir also breathed a sigh of relief and immediately promised, "Xue, don't worry, I won't let your investment be unprofitless."
"Investment?!"
"Ha ha." Xue heard a strangeness in Vladimir's words and blinked: "Mr. Vladimir, what I have done to you is not a business investment. We are friends and comrades with the same political views!"
"Yes, comrade!" Vladimir laughed dryly, but he didn't think so in his heart. He didn't believe that there would be someone in the world who would help people for no reason. Even if he always listened carefully every time he explained his political opinions and put forward a lot of opinions and opinions, he was not really his own person after all!
Seeing that he didn't talk for a long time, Xue knew that this guy had something to say and smiled, "Vladimir, what else do you have to do?"
Vladimir looked at Xue Qing's black eyes. After a while, he slowly turned his eyes to the calm mirror-like lake, and suddenly asked, "Xue, the emperor of your country is visiting France. I want to meet him. Can you recommend him?"
This sentence made Xue's heart tremble. He quickly pinched the fishing rod to hide his inner tension, but his face still had a relaxed expression and shook his head: "Mr. Vladimir, I said that like you, I am a dissent. I believe that Li Mo is definitely not willing to see me, and I don't want to go. See him, because I don't have a common language with him at all!"
Vladimir was stunned for a moment and took a deep breath: "That's a pity. I wanted to contact Li Mo and work together to drive the evil and cruel Nicholas II out of the stage!"
After listening to his words, Xue shook his head with a smile and put the fishing rod at his feet: "Vladimir, you are the most determined revolutionary I have ever seen, so I am willing to be your believer, but one thing you forgot!"
Xue smiled, pointed to the calm lake and said, "Don't you think there is something special about the lake here?" Without waiting for the other party to speak, he immediately asked himself and replied, "It comes from the ice peak. It is cold and clear, just like a huge mirror, so that people living around can see themselves clearly.
Through the mirror, Switzerland can clearly see its status and accurately position it as a permanently neutral country. Because this policy allows this small country, which is at the strategic thrust of Europe, to cultivate, it is gradually becoming the most famous city in Europe, and has won many rich European businessmen and celebrities. Favored.
So you also need to make good use of this mirror to see yourself clearly. As a revolutionary, you can't always rely on external forces. As you once said, you should inspire the power of those proletarians. Only when they wake up can your ideals be realized!"
"What should I do?" Xue's words aroused Vladimir's deep thought, and he couldn't help blurt out.
Xue Gang was about to say the idea he had already planned in his heart, but when he got to his mouth, he suddenly stopped. He glanced at the other party and then changed his words: "I don't know. Like you, I'm also pursuing this road, but I know another thing through my friends in China!"
"What's the matter?"
"The war between Li Mo and Nicholas II is inevitable!"
Looking at Vladimir, who gradually fell into meditation, Xue smiled and turned his head. At this time, the fishing rod in his hand suddenly trembled slightly, and a fish was hooked!
