Make France Great Again - Chapter 864

“However, those guys may have forgotten! Colonies will not obey the first-come-first-served rule, and sometimes it is easier for latecomers to gain the support of the natives than for early ones, just like the British Kingdom did!

I was right! Captain Grandi! ”

Jerome Patterson’s teasing about the Kingdom of Great Britain made Grandi a little annoyed.

Now that people were on the eaves, Captain Grandi had to suppress the anger in his heart and said calmly to Jerome Paterson: “Your Excellency Governor, what we are discussing now is that if there is a conflict with the Kingdom of Portugal during the occupation of the land, What should be done!”

Jerome Patterson “seemed” to realize that the topic he had just strayed from, he hurriedly smiled “apologetically” to Captain Grandi and said, “Look at me! Why have you gone off topic again! Really Somewhat sorry!

Didn’t you just ask what to do? My suggestion to you is to use legal means to safeguard our own rights! ”

“The means of the law?” Captain Grandi looked at Jerome Patterson in disbelief. He really could not have imagined that this word came from the mouth of a colonial governor.

At this time, he really wanted to ask Jerome Paterson aloud, which set of laws he was talking about, the laws of the French Empire, the laws of the Kingdom of Portugal, or the laws of the natives living on this land. .

“Yes! Legal means!” Jerome Patterson nodded and repeated it again.

“Your Excellency the Governor, please forgive my stupidity!” Captain Grandi bluntly asked Jerome Patterson, “Which law are you talking about? We have no shortage of laws here!”

“Of course it’s in accordance with the land transfer law signed by our government and local residents!” Jerome Paterson said confidently to Captain Grandi.

Captain Grandi immediately realized that Jerome Patterson wanted to rely on the means of controlling the land, so as to turn this area into the territory of France, “But the Kingdom of Portugal will definitely not admit that we, together with the indigenous inhabitants The signed agreement!”

“They have to disagree!” Jerome Patterson showed a contemptuous smile on his face, “Mr. Grandi, I’m afraid you forgot! France has the most elite troops in the entire world!

If you are blocked by the Portuguese, please tell them for me!

If Portugal thought their armies could defeat France, they didn’t have to abide by the agreement.

Otherwise, they have to follow our rules!

This is not the back garden of Portugal, they can do whatever they want! ”

Captain Grandi was silent for a moment, then nodded to Jerome Paterson and said seriously, “I understand!”

When Captain Grandi finished speaking, the whole room fell silent again.

Standing in a position where Jerome Patterson and Captain Lalandi could not see, Rastigne, who had waited for a long time, immediately understood that it was time for him to appear after hearing that there was no further communication inside the door.

So, Rastigne stepped forward and appeared at the door of the room, walked step by step to Jerome Patterson and Captain Grandy, handed the quill to Captain Grandy, and opened it for Captain Grandy at the same time. ink bottle.

“Thank you!” Captain Grandi said politely to Rastigne, then signed his name on the last page of the document with a quill dipped in ink, and pushed the document back to Jérôme. in front of Paterson.

Jerome Patterson, who took the document, showed a satisfied smile on his face. He put the document in his drawer, stretched out his hand and said to Captain Grandi, “Mr. Grandi, you have made a correct decision. s Choice!”

“Thank you for your kindness! I made such an extremely correct choice!” Captain Grandi replied with a sneer on Jerome Paterson’s face.

“Mr. Grandi, I think you can treat me a little more kindly! After all, I’m your boss now!” Jerome Patterson spread his hands and said helplessly to Captain Grandi.

“Your Excellency the Governor! If you are forced to sign a treaty that you do not want to sign, I don’t think you will have a good face!” Captain Grandi said coldly to Jerome Patterson,

“Then in terms of money, can your attitude change a little bit!

Know that I hire you and your team to do things for me with a salary of 30,000 francs a year, a price that few people in Africa can do. “Jerome Patterson shrugged his shoulders and said slyly.

Captain Grandi responded noncommittally, “Your Excellency Governor, the annual salary of 30,000 francs is indeed not a condition that ordinary forces can afford! Such generous conditions, let alone us, even Mr. Livingstone, I am afraid that it will be slightly think about it!”

“Right! I have a question I want to ask you, I don’t know it’s inconvenient for you to answer!” Jerome Patterson said to Captain Grandy?

“Go ahead!” said Captain Grandy.

“In April of this year, what is the reason for you to leave Livingstone!” Jerome Patterson asked Captain Grandy, and then added: “If it’s inconvenient, you don’t need to answer!”

“There is nothing inconvenient!” Captain Grandi said to Jerome Patterson in a sullen tone: “Because in April today, Livingston and I had a disagreement, so I left the team he led. Team, build the right team by yourself!”

“What difference?” Jerome Paterson asked again.

“I think the next step for the team should continue to explore along the “Congo River” and strive for more development.

And Livingstone believes that the next step for the team should not continue to walk along the “Congo River”!

In this way, the two of us have a disagreement on the issue of the route! There was a hint of reproach in Captain Grandi’s tone, and Jerome Patterson said: “Because neither of us could convince the other, the team fell into a stalemate.

In order to prevent the team from falling apart due to arguments, and also to keep Livingstone from being embarrassed, I voluntarily quit the scientific expedition team in Livingstone and concentrated on building my own team! ”

[PS: The Congo River here is actually the Ornway River in Gabon. 】

“So that’s how it is!” Jerome Patterson nodded and praised Captain Grandy with a thumbs up: “Mr. Grandy, you are really an excellent person!”

“Overwhelmed!” Captain Grandi responded to Jerome Patterson with a reserved smile on his face.

Then, Jerome Patterson asked Captain Grandi when he could leave.

“Your Excellency! Originally, I planned to appear in a few days, but now it seems that I will have to wait for a while!” Grandy said to Jerome Bonaparte.

“Why is this?” Jerome Patterson asked suspiciously.

“Because your people are going to join our team, I need to train them!” Captain Grandy replied bluntly to Jerome Bonaparte.

“The people I send to you will be excellent soldiers in the barracks. They shouldn’t need to train any more!” Jerome Patterson said to Captain Grandi.

Captain Grandi shook his head and responded to Jerome Patterson: “Your Excellency Governor, even the best soldiers need training!

The place we are going to go is different from the battlefield. The battlefield is about frontal fighting, and all the dangers come from the enemy’s rifles and artillery.

But it is different there. We not only have to face the slave trade teams and hostile indigenous people on the face of various forces, but also learn to fight against the environment there!

There is a risk of death if you are not careful!

Even in Livingstone’s team, senior expedition members died in the jungle.

So we have to be fully prepared! ”

“Okay! Just do as you say!” Jerome Bonaparte said to Grandy, and then asked again: “However, I want to know! How long will it take you to set off? !”

“If it’s fast, it will take three or four weeks. If it’s slow, it will take two or three months!” Captain Grandy responded to Jerome Patterson: “It all depends on your placement in my team. The learning ability of Chinese soldiers!”

“I understand!” Jerome Patterson rushed to Grandi with a serious face: “I will select a group of soldiers with excellent learning ability to study, and I hope you can teach him survival skills well! ”

“That’s natural!”

The next morning, UU read www. uukanshu.com Captain Grandi, who lives in the Governor’s Palace, is awakened by Rastigne.

Sleepy, he yawned and asked Rastigne, “What’s the matter?”

“Your Excellency the Governor asked me to inform you that he has prepared soldiers for you.” Rastigne said to Captain Grandi with a blank expression.

“Okay! I see, I’ll be there in a while!” Captain Grandi yawned again and replied to Jerome Patterson.

After a while, Captain Grandi got dressed and walked out of the room, and saw Rastigne in the corridor.

“Come with me, please!” Rastigne said briefly and left.

Captain Grandi followed Rastigne in a carriage, and the carriage carried Captain Grandi to the barracks.

Captain Grandi, who entered the barracks, immediately felt a long-lost intimacy. At this moment, he seemed to return to eight years ago, when he was serving in India…

“What’s the matter? Mr. Grandi!”

At this moment, Rastigne’s voice broke Captain Grandi’s memory.

“No! Nothing!”

Captain Grandi shook his head and followed Rastigne to move forward, and soon they came to Jerome Patterson. Jerome Patterson introduced Grandi to what he must do and follow. people around them.

“This is Major Mirabo Plenkovic. He will be the captain of the **** team for this scientific expedition!” Jerome Patterson pointed at Mirabo Plenkovic and said.

Mirapo Plenkovich saluted Grandi in a humble manner, and Grandi also returned a salute to Mirabo Plenkovy.
