Chapter 476: Chapter 389 The Secret War Between the British and the French

Marquess Wellesley felt like he had a clump of mud stuck in his chest and had to take a deep breath before he nodded and said,

"Yes, we've encountered a few challenges in the Far East, but the East India Company has already reinforced its troops on a large scale. The natives of Mysore will soon be punished."

"So you've come to bring me the good news of the invincibility of the British Army." Talleyrand exaggerated his expression, "It seems we have nothing to discuss regarding the Far East then. Oh, I offer my early congratulations to His Majesty the King of England on his splendid victory!"

Wellesley, looking at Talleyrand's punchable face, really wanted to drop a "Just you wait and see" and storm off.

However, he immediately remembered the special issue of £1.7 million in bonds that the East India Company had just issued last week. This money was specifically for resolving the Mysore issue—according to the current exchange rate, that was a whopping sum of over 42 million livres.
