Chapter 943
Under the treatment of the Ming Dynasty Medical Team, Zheng Sen's body recovered quickly. After learning that Zheng Sen was fine and just injured, Li Xiao also sent a telegram asking him if he wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty to recuperate.
Zheng Sen's reply to Li Xiao was that he would not return Russia until it was destroyed.
Li Xiao's reply to Zheng Sen was, I wish you success!
When Bismarck saw Zheng Sen again, he couldn't believe that this was the man who almost died half a month ago.
With the help of the nurse, Zheng Sen has been able to get out of bed and walk. His arm was fixed with a plaster and he is now sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
Looking around at the things in the room, Bismarck had to admit that the people of the Ming Dynasty were really luxurious. Even the sofas were flown in from the Ming Dynasty.
There is a strange-shaped tree slice on the table, which is brushed with tung oil and shiny. A red clay teapot is placed on it. After boiling water is boiled on it, the golden tea is poured into the pure white porcelain teacup.
in.
The whole action was smooth and fluid, full of a sense of ritual. It made Bismarck feel like he was just taking off his pants and farting.
The tea is golden, and you can tell it is good at first sight. Especially when set against the white porcelain, it looks even more golden.
"Please!" After finally completing all the steps, Zheng Sen made a gesture of invitation. Since Zheng Sen can also speak Prussian, communication between the two does not require the participation of the speaker, so there were only two people in the room.
Bismarck sat on the comfortable sofa and patted the armrest of the sofa. He picked up the cup of tea and imitated Zheng Sen and drank it in one gulp. It was a bit bitter when he first took it into his mouth, but the aftertaste was endlessly sweet.
Good stuff indeed!
"The Ming Dynasty is so powerful that even this thing can be transported thousands of miles away." Bismarck patted the armrest of the big leather sofa again, which sounded pitiful. As the Prime Minister of Prussia, he was the only one who had such a leather sofa in his office.
sofa.
These things were all transported thousands of miles by the Japanese people by sea. Not to mention how much the sofa cost, even the shipping fee was not a small amount.
Prussia was really devastated during the last war. Everywhere in the empire was short of money, so Bismarck naturally had to set an example and draw a clear line from these extravagant things.
"Haha! To be honest, these are just trivial details. Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the power of the Ming Dynasty is actually beyond your expectation. This time, I would like to sincerely invite the Prime Minister to visit the Ming Dynasty, how about it?" Zheng Sen shouted
He took a cup of tea and said to Bismarck with a smile.
"Hey...! I'm old, and it's hard for me to withstand the bumps along the way."
"It's okay, you can experience the Ming Dynasty's airship. Taking this thing, you can reach the capital of the Ming Dynasty from Magdegeburg in only half a month.
Taking an airship, there are no bumps along the way. Moreover, you can also enjoy the majesty of the mountains, rivers and sea." Zheng Sen pointed to the huge airship airbag in the distance outside.
"Half a month??" Bismarck felt that he had heard it wrong. According to the Japanese, it would take four months for the fastest ship to sail from Daming to Hamburg. For most ships, it would take half a year.
time.
But in other people's words, this is half a month. This time efficiency...!
"Oh, the last time the news of your assassination was sent back to Ming Dynasty, it was also sent back by airship?" Bismarck picked up another cup of tea.
"Oh, that's a telegram. If you send a telegram at this time, it will probably arrive in Daming tomorrow. I have a telegraph machine here. If you have anything you want me to send to Daming, I can do it for you.
At about this time tomorrow, you will be able to receive a reply from Daming."
"Tomorrow...!" Bismarck swallowed.
In any case, Prussia definitely did not have such technology.
"Mr. Zheng...!"
"You don't need to say anything, Prime Minister. Even if this transmitter is not top secret, no one here will use it if I give it to you. If there is some malfunction, no one in Prussia will repair it.
And..., there is no electricity in Prussia. The battery is dead, and you have nowhere to charge it."
"Oh, that's not true. I heard that the Ming Dynasty had something called a train, and we in Prussia also want to...!"
"Want a train?" Zheng Sen did not expect that Bismarck would actually put forward this condition.
"Theoretically, the train is not for sale, but you saved my life. I can convince the Generalissimo to sell the train to your country. No way, this is the bottom line. If your country hadn't saved my life, the train would not have been sold to you.
Yours."
Zheng Sen told the truth. Napoleon had requested several times. The Ming Dynasty did not sell trains to France, but this time Zheng Sen came to Europe. Li Xiao had given him permission to sell trains to European countries.
After all, this is also a matter of exporting to earn foreign exchange. Li Xiao is very interested in making money. After all, the army is about to change its equipment again. Not only are tanks not cheap, but they are also not cheap to use.
"Really?" Bismarck's eyes lit up. He actually did not expect that this condition would be agreed to by the Ming Dynasty. After all, the Ming Dynasty was not an ally of Prussia.
"Of course I mean it. I always mean what I say." Zheng Sen nodded solemnly.
"Now we can talk about sending troops to Russia. If Germany is willing to send troops to Russia, after the war, the Moscow Locomotive Factory can be allocated." Since Bismarck mentioned trains, Zheng Sen naturally wanted to do what he wanted.
"Really?" Bismarck's eyes lit up again.
If it really gets the locomotive factory, then Prussia only needs to buy the technology for laying railroad tracks from the Ming Dynasty. The price will be greatly reduced, making it much cheaper.
"More real than pearls!"
"However, this is not enough for us to send out a large army." At this time, Bismarck fully entered the role of prime minister, and he wanted to strive for as many benefits as possible for this dispatch.
"There are many treasures in the Russian Imperial Palace. You can take as much as you can. But there is a condition, that is, Prussia must send at least 150,000 troops."
"Royal jewels!" Bismarck needed to confirm again.
"Yes, royal jewels."
"Deal! Prussia will send at least 150,000 troops this time. We will send troops in February next year. If Poland does not agree, we can only use the sea route."
"The Poles are not a problem. If they are unwilling, they will be the enemies of the coalition this winter. If Poland refuses, then Ming will support Prussia's annexation of Poland.
However... you need to send troops to conquer the territory. Whoever conquers it will own the land."
Bismarck glanced at Zheng Sen. He didn't expect that although this boy was young, he could be so vicious. He took full advantage of the Ming Dynasty's strong national power!
