Chapter 498 Counterattack, take three

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The flames will eventually go out, and the passion will burn out.

Finally, when everything was over, Eugenie, who was so weak and sore all over, sat on a soft chair, lying there lazily, looking at Zhu Xianhai with blushing cheeks, and said softly with her red lips.

"I must be crazy!"

Apart from this reason, she couldn't find any reason.

"Perhaps, this is the magic of love!"

Looking at him affectionately, Eugenie seemed to understand why so many ladies were addicted to their lovers' love like opium. This feeling was like opium, not only addictive, but also fascinating.

"Indeed, it always has the charm that makes people fall into it."

After helping her button the back of her skirt, Zhu Xianhai picked up a cigar and then a cigarette... It was indeed a pleasure.

Enjoying a cigar and looking at the blushing queen, Zhu Xianhai said.

"It seems that I should thank you."

Everything came as a surprise. What was the good news Eugenie brought?

It's good news coming from the east - Liu Kunpeng and others have been released!

Now Nanhua's fleet is still sailing in the Pacific, but the Manchus and Qing Dynasties have given in. Of course, it's not because they realize their mistake, but because they realize that foreigners cannot be messed with!

After Liu Kunpeng and the others were arrested, it caused a stir among foreigners in Haizhou and other places. At this time, the British and French fleets that were negotiating for Tianjin's education had not yet left Dagu. At first, those foreign devils had no intention of intervening. However,

After the news came out that Nanhua sent an airship to France to participate in the war, the French Far East Fleet in Dagu and the French Minister openly intervened.

"While the armies of allies fight for France, the armies of France also have a duty to protect the citizens of their allies."

As a result, the French minister once again made representations to the Prime Minister's Yamen, and the French fleet sailed directly to Haizhou, apparently ready for bombardment at any time. Under pressure from foreigners, the Prime Minister's Yamen, who had originally vowed to "kill the rebels," immediately

It gives full play to the characteristics of "I am a Tatar" - be a coward when you are cowardly!

He immediately gave in and not only released Liu Kunpeng and other "foreigners" and compensated for the losses, Liu Kunpeng even signed the "Southern Qing Commerce and Navigation Treaty" with the Prime Minister's Yamen on behalf of Nanhua, which contained 29 articles in total. The main content of the treaty

There are two items, namely, recognition of the same trade treatment of South China as that of Western powers and granting consular jurisdiction to South China. The treaty is valid for 10 years. If no amendment is proposed for half a year, it will be automatically extended for 10 years.

In other words, "I, the Taqing", who originally wanted to gain prestige from Nan Hua, not only gave up, but also lost a lot of money and lost a lot of money.

Although it was not Nanhua's naval guns that frightened the "Tatars", but the French naval guns, one thing that is certain is that from then on, in the eyes of the "Tatars", not only Nanhua and France became one ally

, and also became a member of the "foreigns".

"You are indeed a treaty clear!"

Initially, Zhu Xianhai thought that he would have to learn a profound lesson and "clear the treaty" before he would compromise, but he never thought that everything would be so simple. The French just sent the fleet to Haizhou, and the problem was solved.

"No, dear, this is what we should..."

Suddenly, an explosion came from the air, interrupting Eugenie's words. The sound of the gun made her expression suddenly change.

"How is this going?"

Zhu Xianhai's expression also became a little unnatural. The sound of cannons...could a war have begun?

That guy Bismarck betrayed their agreement!

As they hurried out of the carriage and onto the platform, de Montauban hurriedly reported.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he, he...he ordered a full-scale counterattack!"

"What!"

There was only one thought left in Zhu Xianhai's mind - what a fool!

What did Napoleon III want to do? Is he preparing to bury the Second Empire with him?

Is this guy worthy of me?

Is it worthy of the soldiers who died in Nanhua?

When he was thinking this in his heart, Zhu Xianhai's mood was extremely complicated, not because he was trapped here now!

But because he believed that Napoleon III simply did not have the courage to counterattack. Who gave him such courage?

"What does he want to do? Does he want everyone to be buried with him?"

Eugenie said angrily.

But when she saw Zhu Xianhai, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He... would stay in Paris for a few more days!



"Your Majesty, the Guards have launched a counterattack!"

Amid the rumble of cannons, Alexander said to Napoleon III.

"Your Majesty, after tonight, you will definitely become one of the greatest emperors in French history."

If it weren't for the fact that he was the illegitimate son of Emperor Napoleon I, Alexander would even want to boast that Napoleon's achievements had surpassed Napoleon's.

"The war is finally over."

Napoleon III looked at the night sky in the distance that was constantly illuminated by artillery fire and said.

"Alexander, is this the last resort?"

"Your Majesty, maybe we can't get anything from Prussia, but the glory of defeating the Prussian army belongs to you, not Nanhua or any other marshal!"

Napoleon's name is equated with victory. He will never fail. Once he fails, he will lose everything. Napoleon III naturally has a clear understanding of this. This is also the reason why he has been "making close friends and attacking far away" for so many years.

The reason is that the victory or defeat of overseas wars will not have any impact on the political situation in Paris.

But if the war occurs in Europe, any defeat may shake his throne. His throne, like Napoleon's, was built on the beach. Only victory can consolidate the throne.

"Your Majesty, the public does not understand loyalty and sympathy, nor does it understand justice. They have no mercy for the losers and beg for mercy for the winners. The losers will lose all glory and dignity. No matter what, the world will eventually remember that it was you who broke the

It was you who saved France from the siege of the Prussian army..."

Is it salvation?

Napoleon III sighed helplessly. He knew what would happen if he failed. Everything about him would be wiped out and reduced to unquestionable shame.

Even now he has experienced the feeling of being a loser - the queen has not replied to him for several days.

Even if he writes affectionate letters one after another, so what?

The queen ignored him at all. To the queen, he was just a loser.

Even to this day, Napoleon III still remembers the contempt in the queen's eyes when he first returned to Paris. Even his queen could not look down on a loser.

Everyone prefers the winner to the loser, just like his niece-in-law. When he came to Paris, he was warmly welcomed by the Paris people. The enthusiasm could even be said to be unprecedented.

Even the queen... also favored him!

Thinking of this, Napoleon III's heart was filled with the desire for victory. He needed a victory, and he needed to use a victory to tell the Parisians and France.

He, His Majesty Emperor Napoleon III, is the real winner.

He, His Majesty Emperor Napoleon III, is the savior of France.

By that time, Parisians will definitely cheer for his victory. Of course, the ladies of Paris will also care to cast their admiring glances at him. As the winner, he will surely reap all these honors.

Of course, by that time, his queen will return to him.

"After our army attacks, the Prussians will retreat!"

"Your Majesty, Bismarck knows better than anyone else that this is their only chance to end the war decently, and what your Majesty needs is victory. As for the spoils of war..."

Alexander was silent for a while, and then said.

"The spoils of Waterloo are only the crown! Your Majesty! The loser has nothing! Therefore, Emperor Napoleon finally lost everything, and Your Majesty, all you need is victory..."
