2819 King of Belgium

Xiao Letian sneered and looked at the direction of Leopold II's departure. "The intelligence from the foundation showed that Belgium had sent four expeditions to the Central African Congo River Basin... Is he really interested in geography? Let's go back, this is to explore the next step of colonization!"

"Belgium is too weak. It is a country that split from the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Its founded for a short time and its industrial foundation was poor. The only thing that flourished was that they inherited the financial industry and ocean trade in the Netherlands."

"Leopold II is very ambitious. When you were negotiating with me just now, you asked the Chinese market about the trade volume of diamonds, sands, rubber, spices, ivory, wood and other commodities..."

"He has something in his words. His subtext is very clear. He just wants to tell me that Belgium is also a potential supplier of these resources!"

"Where are these resources? Belgium is not produced locally, but it is still in black Africa! I think it is in the Congo River Basin!"

"Look at the high-sounding words he said when he was chatting with us, such as humanitarianism, international rescue, and peaceful development in Africa... It seems that he is the savior of the people of China and Africa!"

"But after all, he still wants African resources!"

"I guess in a few years he might use the excuse of abolitionism to annex the land in the Congo River Basin, because now the colonies of Britain, France and other countries have occupied all the coastlines, and if he wants to develop, he can only move inland!"

"Focus on him. This person's colonial methods are different from those of Britain and France, and our methods are also different. They are very research-oriented... Of course, as long as he does not harm the interests of our Chinese people, it doesn't matter if we maintain a friendly relationship!"

"You must remember that if you deal more with these small European countries, there will be benefits in the future!"

Luo Huo, who was standing by, asked in confusion, "What are the uses of these small countries? So is there enough commercial interests for us to get stuck in our teeth? These small countries do not have a strong army..."

Sima Yun smiled, "Of course there are benefits. Although these small countries do not have strong strength, they have a great reputation! There is also culture!"

"Due to religion, history, blood ties and other relationships, these countries have had close relationships with powerful countries such as Britain, France, Germany and Austria for thousands of years. There are conflicts and intimate cooperation!"

"Doing good deals with these countries is not about them being able to help us fight. In the final analysis, it is about them helping us make breakthroughs in diplomatic occasions!"

"Sometimes, the reasoning at the negotiating table is not about the size of the country... Is the Pope's area small? If it's really a negotiation, do you see if the Pope says something? "

Xiao Letian nodded, "That's right, these royal nobles are all relatives who are tied to relatives and relationships. One or two small countries cannot fight against Britain and France, but with more countries speaking, even the Queen of England will give in!"

"A more critical point is that these countries can help us seek many technological breakthroughs! You should know that Britain, France and other countries are self-refined in technology!"

"They will never give the Chinese people the best technology. They will try their best to hide the latest technology!"

"And these small countries with extremely close culture and blood relationships from them do not have such barriers. They can even get the latest technology from the people!"

"If the big powers don't sell us the latest technology, we can find these small European countries to sell it! Sometimes it's easier to get to the destination by taking detours..."

"It's like a decisive battle that is about to break out. If we don't leave the Prussian command, then Besmai will definitely try his best to keep us away from the battlefield..."

"But we withdrew from Belgium, which is nominally a cultivation, but we are watching the fighter's opportunity! Once the Emperor really retreats to Ardennes Province, we will have the opportunity to join the war!"

"So! It's not a bad thing to take detours occasionally in life... After leaving, the people who should be sent away are also sent away. Let's go back to have a meal. I'm not worse than those in Germany..."

Wang Huaiyuan shook his head, "Forget it, I still can't get used to the smell of beer, so you should enjoy it..."

Hahaha... A group of soldiers surrounded the top leaders of the Chinese clan and were slowly walking on the country roads in Belgium.

In this era, the Chinese have become European stars! The consecutive victories on the battlefield have allowed the Chinese to wipe out the impression of Asians' cowardice and won the respect of Europeans.

Coupled with the series of reports on the Oriental Chinese, which had been invested heavily, the favorable impression of ordinary people has deepened!

And countries like Belgium that have no conflict with the Chinese will not stop Xiao Letian's propaganda. As a result, even border towns like Sunny have heard of various legends about the Chinese.

Xiao Letian and the others were welcomed by many local residents along the way. Women hid behind the vines and peeked at these young and handsome Oriental soldiers, while men took off their hats and bowed to the head of state!

The people naturally have awe of big shots, and the officials in front of them with golden stars shining all over the place are said to have a title and are all top Asian nobles, which makes the people even more awe.

Xiao Letian was only one thousand guards by his side at the moment. At the beginning, the town of Sinni was still a little frightened when he saw the thousands of blood-filled oriental warriors.

But after a few days together, they were completely relieved!

I have never seen such a disciplined army. Even if I walk on the street on vacation, there will be two people in a row, three in a row, and the military appearance is absolutely meticulous!

Moreover, the purchasing power of these soldiers is even higher than that of European soldiers. No matter what goods are in the town, these Chinese soldiers do not care about the price when purchasing them.

In just a few days, the town of Sinni temporarily formed a temporary market for these thousand Chinese people. People in the surrounding villages spontaneously brought their own treasures to sell here.

Xiao Letian and his group walked to the city wall and looked at the long stalls around the ancient city gate hole. They walked and walked, and Xiao Letian even found two bottles of dusty century-old red wine.

Although it is not a good wine from a well-known winery, the honest farmer swears with God that these two bottles of wine were definitely brewed and stored by his grandfather, and have a history of more than 30 years.

Xiao Letian held the dusty red wine bottle with both hands, raised it over his head and shouted at Luo Huo behind him, "I have two bottles of good wine, you are responsible for buying sausages, eat grilled sausages with red wine tonight..."

"How much does the boss cost?"

"Oh... Dear sir... I've been red wine for thirty years... I... want at least one hundred francs!"

"No problem! Pay... Next time you have such good wine, you can also deliver it to me!"

The farmer did not expect that the head of the East would be so kind and quickly agreed, "Sir, I'll go home now, I should be able to find it..."

It was getting late, and Xiao Letian and his party purchased the ingredients for dinner themselves, and they didn't need the soldiers to help them carry them. They all went to the marshal-level generals, but they walked on the bustling streets one by one. Not far away, the sound of accordion and acoustic guitar began to sound...
