The purpose of the Admiralty of the Chinese Empire is to understand it, but it is one thing to understand, and what it is going to do is another thing." 2.

His purpose was to purchase the blueprints of No. 1, so as to increase his country's naval strength and work hard to resist German military pressure in the future, and in order to accomplish this, he had to find a way to get the Admiralty to agree, or to get the Admiralty to agree.

Looking down at this, Bobby looked at Frank in front of him, and then asked a question that he found funny, that is, what Li He liked.

This question is really difficult for Frank to answer, although he has been in Beijing for a long time and has dealt with the personnel of the Imperial Admiralty, but they don't know what Li He, the minister of the Imperial Admiralty, likes.

However, Frank still understood what Bobby meant, that is, Bobby was going to bribe the Secretary of the Navy.

A very risky plan, Frank, who thought of this, looked at Bobby in front of him, then shook his head and said: "I'm afraid not, this empire is easy to say anything, but it is very strict about corruption." Any official who dares to accept fifty taels of silver will only have death. ”

Frank is telling the truth, this point has also been heard of by Bobby in Vietnam, but he still does not give up, after all, this is the most direct and effective method, no matter what, he doesn't believe that he will put the funds bigger, this Li and he will not take the bait, of course, this matter, I still need to ask Paris for instructions, otherwise, if I use the money privately, it will be myself who will not be able to eat and walk around.

Paris, Palace of Versailles. President Lubet was staring at a map of Germany, especially where the German High Seas Fleet was stationed, and sometimes, once he looked at it, it was more than ten minutes.

As the president of France, Lubet is responsible for the security of France, responsible for his own country, and his purpose is to bring France into a state of prosperity and prosperity during his term of office, but now, this original, romantic country is suffering from a powerful threat from a country in the northwest, this hateful country, is Germany.

Germany's military has been advancing by leaps and bounds in recent years. His navy, in particular, has multiplied several times compared to a few years ago.

In the past, Germany's fleet was concentrated in one port, so that if they joined forces with Britain, they could block it anywhere, but now it can't be done, now Germany, Japan also has a Far Eastern fleet, this fleet, although not as good as the German home fleet, but its strength, is also one of the best, a total of three battleships, five armored cruisers, large and small more than 30 warships.

Hey, it's hard to be president, and it's even harder to be the president of France, this is the most intimate sentence that Lube got during his presidency.

Now, the German warships Kaiser Wilhelm III and IV have begun to be launched again, which is bad news for France in every sense of the word.

In the future, these two battleships will come out in the native fleet of Germany or in the Far Eastern Fleet in Asia. All have a bad impression of France.

Here, the fleet that affects one's own country, and in Asia, the Far Eastern fleet, no matter where it is, suffers.

Now, the only thing that can reverse this situation is to find the first power in Eastern Asia, the Holy Chinese Empire, so that they can buy the design of the No. 1 battleship, that is, the battleship Kaiser Wilhelm, where they can buy it, and then let France build some of it itself, so that they can replace some of the old warships in France now, so as to bring fresh blood to the navy.

After this matter was formed in Lubey's heart, he began to let his henchman, that is, Bobby, the governor of French Vietnam, handle this matter, and now, so many days have passed, but Bobby in Beijing has not given him any news, which makes Lube somewhat worried in his heart.

But worrying is useless, after all, Bobby has not given himself any news.

Knock knock knock........ The crisp sound of high heels sounded, and Lube looked up to see his secretary actually walking in with a grin.

The smile of these beauties can make Lubé forget the troubles in his heart for a while every time, so as to devote himself to the gentle township, but this time, Lubé doesn't seem to be in the mood for this at all, he thinks about one thing, Bobby's news, therefore, for the secretary who came in. Lube just looked at it, then closed his eyes

"President, His Excellency Bobby, Governor General of French Vietnam, has sent a secret telegram from the capital." A sweet voice sounded, and Lu Bei, who had closed his eyes, immediately opened his eyes, glanced at the secretary in front of him, and then quickly took the telegram in the secretary's hand.

Requesting access to the purchase funds, what's going on? Seeing the first line of the message, Luber suddenly looked at the secretary in front of him with a puzzled expression, hoping to get the situation from the secretary, but he was disappointed, the secretary obviously couldn't give him any answer, there was no way, Lubei could only look at it patiently.

It turned out that this was the case, the Admiralty did not agree, and Bobby hoped to use a certain amount of money to open up the relationship between the Admiralty and the Admiralty, so that he could successfully take the No. 1 drawing.

Now, it can only be like this, after all, if part of the money is compared with the No. 1 design drawing, in Lube's eyes, the design drawing is obviously much more important, immediately, Lubei picked up the secretary next to him and kissed it, and then said with a smile: "Baby, call back to Governor Bobby, I don't want to hear how much money was spent, I just want a result, that is, the No. 1 design drawing, and, again, tell me, no matter what method I use, I just want the design drawing." Tell him that if he can't complete the mission this time, he won't come back, just stay in Beijing. ”

This is a vicious one, staying in Beijing, that is, obviously not letting Bobby serve as the governor of Vietnam, but from then on, he will live in Beijing for the rest of his life, and he has completely become a part of the abandonment of France, of course, if Bobby does not want to become a forgotten part, then there is only one way, that is, to get the No. 1 design as soon as possible, and when the time comes, it will be delicious and spicy, whatever you want, and France will be able to meet these anyway.

However, the premise of all this is to see if Bobby can complete the task, and if he can't complete it, then get out.
