In mid-October, the new Governor-General of French Indochina, Charles Mangin, arrived in Saigon and began his years as Governor-General.
Speaking of which, the position of Governor of French Indochina can be regarded as a high-risk position in the French colonies. In the past three or four years, Mangin has been the third candidate for Governor.
After arriving in Saigon, like the previous two governors, the first port Man King wanted to visit was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Lan Fong.
France and Lan Fang have indeed terminated their alliance, but this does not mean that the relationship between France and Lan Fang has broken down. After all, the two sides still have some connections. If Manjing wants to be more comfortable in this position, he must be with Lan Fang.
Build a good relationship with Fang.
Mangin did have a bad reputation as a general, but this does not mean that Mangin is a fool. In fact, it is as difficult to get ahead in the French military as it is in French politics. Even if Mangin is a butcher, he is also smart.
Butcher, otherwise there would be no matter who is on stage, Manjing will always be reused.
However, Lanfang's visit to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not give Manking much confidence. Lanfang rejected some of Manking's requests, especially regarding the lease period of Cam Ranh Bay. Lanfang's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that there was no room for negotiation.
When Bastian was the governor of French Indochina, Lanfang leased Cam Ranh Bay from the French; during Lyautey's administration, the lease agreement was further deepened, and the surrounding 100 square meters of land, including Cam Ranh Bay, was Lan Fang.
Lan Fang is preparing to build a huge military industrial base including affiliated factories in Cam Ranh Bay.
There are many restrictions on the military industrial base. If it is a civilian base, then there is still something to be done around Cam Ranh Bay. The emergence of a large base will greatly promote the economic development of the area around Cam Ranh Bay. The military base does not have any restrictions due to its closed nature.
possible.
With the advancement of Cam Ranh Bay port construction, this originally unnoticed port has become more and more important, especially the arrival of battleships, which has further enhanced the status of Cam Ranh Bay.
If Cam Ranh Bay can be recovered during his term of office, it will become the biggest shining point of Manjing's term.
Of course, Manjing didn't expect that Lanfang would give up this natural military port where he had invested a lot of manpower and material resources when he first arrived. Manjing just wanted to test the waters, but he didn't expect Lanfang's reaction to be so violent.
Lan Fang sent Man Jing's gift directly out of the country without even keeping any food. It was really a shame and a great humiliation.
After leaving Coconut City, Manking turned around and went to Lion City, which was the seat of the British Governor-General in Malaya. This choice was not very friendly to Lan Fang.
It is expected. Since France gave up its alliance with Lanfang, it will definitely look for a new ally. Although Britain is not the best choice, it has a long-term cooperative relationship and the experience of the world war.
Fighting side by side, Britain is barely one of France's best potential allies now.
But the most regrettable thing is that in the current world, the United Kingdom is the country most targeting France. In order to achieve a balance on the European continent, the United Kingdom has given up the friendship of fighting side by side in the world war and began to curb the rise of France. I am afraid that Mangin
My trip to the Lion City still didn’t go as planned.
It is still unknown what progress Manking made in the Lion City. After returning to Saigon, Manking made a bold decision to abolish three of the six existing divisions in Indochina, leaving only two stationed in Siam.
Annam Division, and a defense force stationed in Saigon.
Manking's intention was to completely remove the Lan Fang imprint from the French Indochina Army, because among the existing troops, too many Annamites were inclined to Lan Fang, which Manking could not accept.
This intention was good, but Mangin's mistake was to act too hastily. Mangin had just taken over French Indochina and had not yet established his footing before he started to implement such a big move. If he took too big a step, he could easily break his eggs.
After Mangin announced that he would disband the army, at the end of October, a riot broke out in the 5th French Indochina Division stationed in Loei Province and quickly spread to nearby Kiao La Sin Province.
Loi Yi Province is located in the French-controlled center of Siam. The terrain of this province is flat and it is one of the main rice-producing areas in Siam. The rebellion that originally broke out in Loi Yi Province was not difficult to deal with, but it spread to Kao Laksin
After the house was opened, a spark instantly turned into a prairie fire.
The northwest of Kiao Laxin Prefecture is a mountainous area. This is a rare mountainous terrain within the territory controlled by the French government. It is not easy to find the rebels who have been broken into pieces in the mountains. At this moment, Manking made a fool of himself.
While deploying his troops, Manking openly announced that all soldiers involved in the rebellion would be hanged.
This decision aroused a fierce reaction from the Annan people. Not only did the previous rebellion not subside, but the French First Division of Indochina, which went to perform the suppression mission, also rebelled. For a time, the rebellion area spread rapidly, not only
It is limited to Siam, and has spread to Laos along the Savannakhet region, and has a tendency to spread to Annan.
At this level, no one would believe it if there was no Lan Fang planning behind it.
The French government's reaction was still fierce. Millerand would ask the new Lanfang ambassador to France every day when he would arrive in Paris. While he could not get a definite answer, Millerand's patience finally ran out.
In early November, Millerand informed the Corsica local government on behalf of the French government that the French government would send formal tax officials to the Corsica region.
The dispatch of tax officers indicates that the French government can no longer tolerate the high degree of autonomy in the Corsica region and is prepared to use force to take back control of the Corsica region.
Lanfang's reaction, or rather Corsica's reaction, was much more violent than Millerand had imagined.
Paris has entered deep winter in November. This year's winter is not as cold as during the World War, but the temperature is also unbearable. Although it is afternoon, there are not many people on the street. Occasionally, someone will pass by on the street.
They all bundled up tightly with their coats and hats, and kept cursing the damn weather.
Randy Sissi is not in a good mood today. As a special adviser to the French President, Randy Sissi owns a house on Avenue de Clichy near the Moulin Rouge. This is definitely something worth celebrating. If the weather is sunny,
, Randy Sisi would prepare some wine and snacks and invite his neighbors to his home, but today, Randy Sisi really had no such interest.
Then, I leave everything to you. In front of the door of No. 145 Clichy Street, a gentleman wearing a tuxedo, a trench coat, and a top hat was saying goodbye to Randy Sisi.
I tried my best to make Randy Xixi, who was only wearing a cotton vest, look sad and tried to force out a smile, but in the end he failed.
You just need to say something at the appropriate time, and you don't even have to agree. As long as you don't object, Mr. Will will be your loyal friend. The gentleman wearing a top hat raised his hat to signal, and then turned around
After blowing the whistle, a car that had been waiting at the corner of the street came over immediately.
Mr. Will is a banker who works for the Dutch Consortium. He is a big shot to Randy Sisi. It should be exciting to have the friendship of such a big shot, but from Randy Sisi's face, it is really...
I don't see much excitement in it.
Watching the car go away and turning the corner, Randy Xixi's wife Jesse Isaacs walked out of the house, put a windbreaker on Xixi with a blue background and said with a sad face: I said you can't give up this
What's the matter? Mr. Will is indeed very powerful, but compared to United Oil, who do you think Mr. Will is?
You don't understand what's going on here, go back and make your dinner. Randy Xixi didn't want to discuss this issue with his wife, and looked very impatient.
Damn it, you're crazy. Jesse Isaac wiped his hands on his apron and looked at Randy Sisi with worried eyes.
Dear, don't worry, of course I know that Mr. Renault is powerful, and we have no intention of targeting Mr. Renault, but this kind of thing is like Randy Sisi was explaining when a violent explosion suddenly came from the corner of the street.
Randy's complexion suddenly changed. He quickly ran to the door and looked out through the fence door. The location of the explosion was exactly the corner where the car had just turned.
Take a look and see what you will face. Are we going to live in endless fear from now on? Jesse Isaac has collapsed in front of the door. The violent explosion made Jesse Isaac lose his mind.
Calm down, the more we need to calm down at this time, Randy Xixi was sweating profusely, and his windbreaker had fallen to the ground without even realizing it.
Hello, are you okay? A voice suddenly sounded not far away.
Randy Xixi turned around and looked over. It was a strange young man: Who are you? Randy Xixi felt something was wrong.
You don't need to know who I am, Mr. Landissi, right? The young man grinned, his white teeth a bit dazzling.
Yes, I am, who are you? Randy Xixi barely stood still, his hands holding the fence gate showing blue veins.
You don't need to know who I am, Mr. Randy, I'm here to send greetings from Lanfang. The young man said, suddenly taking out a pistol from his arms.
Bah bah bah bah
Although it was a pistol, it still had enough lethality when shot at close range. Randy Sisi was shot three times in the chest, and the last three shots were placed on the head. The entire head was completely changed beyond recognition.
Ah Jesse Isaacs screamed loud enough to be heard half way down the street.
Damn it, shut up and the violent young man had no intention of stopping, he pointed the gun at Jesse Isaacs and pulled the trigger.
The clicking sound of the tower's bullets running out was particularly pleasant to Jesse Isaac's ears.
Walk around. A car braked suddenly and stopped in front of Randy's house. There was an anxious voice urging in the car.
Hey, live well, your life is hard-earned. The young man didn't have time to change bullets, so he smiled at Jesse Isaacs, turned around and got in the car.
