I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner

Chapter 219 The Arrival of Prussia.

On the sunny third day, Prussian Marshal Dennis Hartmann finally arrived in Yan State and got the opportunity to have a formal meeting with Qin Ruihua.

When he stepped into the palace.

He respectfully performed a standard etiquette towards Qin Ruihua: "Your Majesty, on behalf of our country's supreme leader, I would like to extend my most sincere greetings to you!"

"May you and your country prosper and enjoy long-lasting peace and stability!"

Qin Ruihua nodded slightly to indicate his response, and then went straight to the point and asked, "I wonder why Marshal Hartmann has come all the way here?"

Marshal Hartmann took a deep breath and replied solemnly: "To be honest, Your Majesty."

"Our country earnestly hopes to establish a solid military alliance with your country."

"Of course, in addition to us, another important ally of ours, Italy, is also involved."

Hearing this, Qin Ruihua could not help but frown: "How dare you, Prussia, form a military alliance with Italy? Have you forgotten the painful experience of being severely betrayed by them last time?"

Faced with Qin Ruihua's sharp questioning, Marshal Hartmann's face flashed with embarrassment, but he quickly regained his composure and explained helplessly: "Your Majesty Yanwu."

"Now our country really has no choice. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks of our proposal?"

Qin Ruihua did not express his opinion immediately. Instead, he remained silent for a moment and then slowly said, "Let's put the matter of the military alliance aside for now."

"I guess Marshal Hartmann's visit today is probably not just for this matter, right?"

As expected, Marshal Hartmann immediately spoke up: "As Your Majesty said, our country does have other important requests."

"Due to the tense domestic situation and lack of resources, I came here this time to purchase a large number of urgently needed supplies from your country."

"But given our country's current poor financial situation, I hope to be able to buy on credit first..."

At the end of his speech, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he seemed to find it difficult to continue.

When Qin Ruihua heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed and thought that this was really a tricky problem!

However, he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and said as calmly as possible: "Your Excellency Marshal, your request is a bit unreasonable."

"But since you've brought it up, why not tell me the details?"

Marshal Dennis Hartmann responded: "Your Majesty Yanwu, our country needs two million tons of fuel oil. Five million tons of steel. One hundred thousand tons of resources such as rubber."

Qin Ruihua couldn't help but gasp when he heard that the amount of resources required was so huge.

"Your Excellency Marshal, your country's move is simply asking for too much!"

"You should be aware that many countries do not necessarily have such abundant reserves."

"Excuse me, why do you think we can come up with these resources?"

Marshal Hartmann smiled slightly and responded: "This is indeed a resource that is extremely scarce in our country at present."

"However, given the actual situation in your country, if it is really impossible to provide it, I will naturally not force you to do so."

Qin Ruihua stared at the other party with sharp eyes and questioned: "Don't forget that you are now purchasing on credit."

"Maybe I can infer that you are planning to take action against European countries."

"But if your action fails, won't we end up losing everything?"

The Marshal was slightly startled, then showed a look of surprise and asked, "Your Majesty Yanwu actually knew about this?"

Qin Ruihua snorted and said, "Look at the situation in your country, and compare it with the situation in European countries. You can still guess some clues."

Marshal Hartmann was silent for a moment, then asked again: "I wonder if His Majesty Yanwu is willing to lend us a hand?"

Qin Ruihua answered without hesitation: "I have just made it very clear. If you fail in the end, won't we suffer a huge loss?"

"So I'm afraid it's not easy to help with this."

Marshal Hartmann responded: "I wonder how His Majesty Yanwu can agree to this? We are willing to do our best wherever we can."

Qin Ruihua frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "If you want me to agree, it's not impossible. However..."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "If your country finally returns victorious, not only will we have to return the money intact, including the principal and interest, but we will also have to add some additional terms."

"No problem." Marshal Hartmann replied.

Qin Ruihua raised his lips slightly and continued, "If your country loses the war, you must send all your scientists, top students, and technical elites to our country."

"In this case, there is no need to pay off the debt. After all, your country was already unable to pay it back then. It is nothing more than a blank bill that cannot be cashed."

Marshal Hartmann's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly retorted: "Your Majesty Yanwu's move is a bit too harsh."

"If our country really loses by then, without this group of scientists and technical talents, our country may never have a chance to regain its former glory."

At this moment, Qin Ruihua showed a contemptuous smile on his face: "Your Excellency Marshal, wait until you are really faced with that kind of situation."

“Do you think your country still has the ability to retain these elite talents?”

"I'm afraid that by then all countries will flock here to compete for these precious resources."

Marshal Hartmann did not get angry at these words, but responded calmly: "I must discuss this matter carefully with the leader."

Qin Ruihua couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this: "Could it be that His Excellency Marshal lacks confidence in his own country?"

"If you can successfully defeat the European countries, it will be easy for you to repay this debt in the future."

Marshal Hartmann straightened up and said with a firm look: "Of course, I have absolute trust in my country."

"The final victory will belong to our great country of Prussia."

"However, such an important matter cannot be decided by me alone. I must discuss it with the leader before I can make a final decision."

After that, Qin Ruihua waved his hand and said indifferently: "If that's the case, then you can go back and discuss it properly."

"Someone, give Marshal Hartmann a ride."

After Marshal Hartmann left, he immediately sent an urgent telegram to the country, eagerly awaiting the leader's instructions and opinions.
