But no matter how much the French ministers tried their best, Baron Bertula remained unmoved and did not make any concessions in the negotiation treaty, not even one of the 60 million livres in compensation was reduced.

Copper.

The entire negotiation lasted for nearly two hours. Baron Bertula and all the ministers were a little thirsty, but the progress of the negotiation made no progress at all.

In the end, when both sides were almost speechless, Louis XV announced the end of the meeting with a gloomy face and sent someone to send Baron Bertula back to the British embassy and consulate.

As the footsteps of Baron Bertula gradually disappeared in the corridor, the Apollo Hall also fell into a period of silence, the silence before the storm.

The ministers all lowered their heads tightly, not even daring to take a breath, silently waiting for His Majesty the King's instructions.

Louis XV glanced around at the ministers in the audience, and asked with uneasiness:

"Everyone, what do you think?"

The king's voice echoed in the throne room, but for a long time no minister came forward to offer advice. After all, no one was sure that they could get a better treaty from Baron Bertula.

Just when Louis XV was disappointed and ready to announce the end of the meeting, the Duke of Aiguillon suddenly stood up:

"I have an idea that may be able to properly resolve this matter, but I don't know if it's appropriate to bring it up."

Louis XV's eyes suddenly brightened. At this critical moment, he didn't care at all about the Duke Aiguillon's offense against His Royal Highness, and immediately allowed him to raise it in public.

The Duke of Aiguillon stood out of the queue, glanced at the expressionless Duke of Choiseul with his peripheral vision, and suggested loudly:

"Ahem, actually, my uncle, the Duke of Richelieu, has a good personal relationship with the British ambassador. My uncle had discussed the Anglo-French non-aggression treaty with Baron Bertula very early on, and the two sides had a very happy discussion about it.
