Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Hua Ruohan immediately took his good friend Colt, the owner of the American Colt Firearms Company, to the capital!

However, as soon as he arrived in the capital, Hua Ruohan received this list. Britain and France demanded that the Qing government investigate Liu Ye and execute him!

Colt was annoyed at that time. Liu Ye's rifle had absolutely huge value in the war and was more promising than the revolver he developed. He had already earned tens of millions of dollars just by relying on the revolver. If he could get the production patent of this rifle, he would definitely become the richest man in the world. Such an opportunity must not be missed!

Traditional virtues, the British and the French are not good people, we must not let their conspiracy succeed!

Hua Ruohan was already filled with anger. Colt had already given its clear answer. Liu Ye's rifle would definitely shine in the history of world wars. Absolutely. As long as they obtained this patent and Liu Ye's firearms patents in the future, Colt's development would enter another stage and surpass all arms companies in the world!

Colt will definitely become the most powerful military company in the world, no doubt about it. As long as a cooperation agreement can be successfully reached with Liu Ye, Colt will give Hua Ruohan 3% of Colt's shares as a reward!

With 3% of the stock, Colt is now worth millions of dollars, and its future development will be even more brilliant. 3% is equivalent to property worth hundreds of thousands or even millions!

Hua Ruohan was already overjoyed. Whether for himself or his country, he had to bring Liu Ye and reach a cooperation agreement! He had to!

However, just after arriving in Beijing, the British and French came to hit him hard and wanted to execute Liu Ye! Once Liu Ye died, all his dreams would be shattered!

How could Hua Ruohan accept this situation? Damn Elgin, damn Gro, I will never let you go!

Hua Ruohan was filled with anger and did not even have time to see Liu Ye. He broke straight into the mansion where Elgin and Gro lived.

Elgin and Gro were dumbfounded when they saw the furious Hua Ruohan. Now not only the Chinese did not allow Liu Ye to be killed, but even the Americans were involved. It seemed that if they insisted, Hua Ruohan would fight them to the death!

Elgin's temper immediately subsided, and he replied, "Mr. Hua Ruohan, I wonder what kind of cooperation you have with Liu Ye. Could it be that the friendship between our three countries is no match for Liu Ye? Our hatred for Liu Ye is not easily resolved!"

Hua Ruohan snorted angrily. This Elgin was always two-faced. "Britain-US friendship?" That's a nice way to put it! Now that the North and South have started fighting, not only are Britain and France not helping the US government, they're actually backing the rebels. This is intolerable! Don't think you can fool everyone by openly declaring neutrality!

Hua Ruohan replied, "Mr. Elgin, our cooperation with General Liu Ye is still confidential. This is our national secret. I cannot give you a clear answer. If you want to know, you can call our President Lincoln. I think he can give you a satisfactory answer."

President Lincoln?

Elgin's face immediately fell. Although his status was not low, he was still far from having a direct conversation with President Lincoln. He was just a small minister to the Qing Dynasty. If he wanted to ask Lincoln questions, at least the bigwigs at the ministerial level or above in the British Empire had that right!

Ge Luo snorted coldly, "Mr. Hua Ruohan, if you don't give us a clear answer, how can you expect us to withdraw this note? Diplomatic affairs are no joke! Please go back."

Hua Ruohan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Why? Mr. Ge Luo, it seems that you are determined to do it your own way?"

Gro said proudly: "We, the French Empire, don't need you Americans to point fingers at us when we do something!"

Hua Ruohan retorted sharply, "Unfortunately, this matter is closely related to our American interests! We will never give in. Also, do you think that if you force the Qing government, it will give in? That's a joke. They are not fools. If you kill Liu Ye, who will guarantee their safety? How can I let you have your way?"

Ge Luo's expression changed, and he said coldly, "Don't worry, Hua Ruohan, those people in the Qing government are not as smart as you think. As long as we increase the intensity of oppression and send troops to the northern frontier, we will definitely be able to force them to make concessions!"

Hua Ruohan's face turned pale, and he said bitterly, "In that case, don't blame us for being ruthless. According to our contract with the Qing government, we still have at least 10,000 rifles and 100 artillery pieces waiting to be delivered. Within five days, we will hand over all of this munitions to Liu Ye. Humph, Liu Ye, with a group of Qing soldiers equipped with swords and spears, has already made you busy. Once you equip them with sophisticated firearms, I want to see how you, with just over 10,000 soldiers, can resist the Qing army equipped with a large number of muskets and artillery! Remember, their general is Liu Ye, not Senggelinqin!"

"you……"

Elgin and Gros were so angry at Hua Ruohan that their lungs were about to explode. This guy was too bad and had ruined traditional virtues. Once Liu Ye's Qing army was equipped with foreign guns and cannons, and Liu Ye was added to the mix, it would definitely be enough to give the British and French forces a hard time. Even if they could win, it would be a miserable victory. I'm afraid that there would be few people left in the British and French army who could return to Europe alive!

Take the fire out of the cauldron!

But this was an arms contract between the United States and the Qing government, signed long ago. So what? Just now, Gro said the United States had no right to interfere with the French Empire, but now he's trying to force the United States to reject the deal? How is that possible? Are Americans that easy to bully?

Elgin and Gros were completely out of temper. They were afraid that the idea they had worked so hard to come up with to deal with Liu Ye would be aborted!

Hua Ruohan saw that the two men had lost their previous arrogance and said calmly, "Okay, I'm just being selfish. As long as you don't make things difficult for Liu Ye, you can do whatever you want. As for your negotiations, I won't interfere. Harmony brings wealth. We Americans just want to make money. As for the rest, hehe..."

Elgin and Gros were discouraged. Now they had no choice but to give up this dream. Once John Walsh was angered, the British and French forces would be in trouble. John Walsh must be dealt with if they have the chance in the future!

"Goodbye, both of you!"

Hua Ruohan looked at the two people who had fallen silent, bowed, and floated away.
