"Protest? Your Excellency, Minister, you have confused me. Is there any issue worth protesting between China and France?" Emperor Yang said to Bi Sheng inexplicably. Ordinarily he should not take this job, but considering that Xue Fucheng may
He couldn't be as shameless as him, so Emperor Yang decided to take action personally, and also to have some fun for himself. After all, teasing the French is also a very interesting thing.
"Your Majesty, your ** troops landed in the French protectorate Annan without the permission of the French government. This is unacceptable to us. The Chinese ** troops must immediately stop this behavior that affects the relations between the two countries." Bi Shengyi said righteously.
, He may have dared to say the word aggression in front of Xue Fucheng, but he did not have the courage in front of Yang Feng. Talking to an emperor and talking to an elected prime minister are not at the same level at all. This is also
The important reason why Yang Feng took this job.
"Your Excellency, Minister, I think you are making a fuss. First of all, regarding the relationship between your country and Annan, we all know that His Majesty King Annan has publicly announced that he will no longer recognize the treaty you signed before. Of course, regarding whether the protected country has the right to terminate the protection with the suzerain country
There is no international precedent for this. However, the treaty between you does not prohibit them from doing so. Therefore, this is a complex legal issue. Before this issue is resolved, whether France will continue to have suzerainty over Vietnam remains unclear.
Professionals are needed to conduct research, and it is difficult for us to discuss it clearly in a short time here. Besides, this is a matter between both of you and has nothing to do with China, so we do not need to waste time on this issue.
But the problem now is that there has been a war between you two in Hue, and as far as I know it is still fiercely fighting. In this case, I must provide protection for my people. This is what I must fulfill as their monarch.
Responsibility, and this is also an international practice." Yang Feng said seriously.
This is indeed a common practice at this time, but it is a great power against a small country. It is not a common practice for a great power to land in the protectorate of another great power to protect its overseas Chinese.
"Your Majesty, the French army has the ability to protect the safety of all foreign nationals in Hue." Bi Sheng said hurriedly.
"Your Excellency, Minister, what you said is a bit exaggerated. The telegram just sent by our Consul General in Hue also stated that four overseas Chinese from your country were unfortunately killed in the explosion caused by the Vietnamese army's shelling of your army's artillery position. This shows that your *
The * team is in Hue and actually cannot even protect your own nationals, so how can we protect Chinese nationals?" Yang Feng said lightly.
"Huh!?" Bi Sheng really didn't know that the blown-out gun barrels and boxed shells had indeed hit a French trading house, causing four deaths and six injuries in the business. There were also women and children among them.
"Your Majesty, since it is a war, there will inevitably be casualties." However, he knew that Yang Feng would not lie to him, so he said bravely.
"Mr. Minister, aren't your words contradictory? You said that your army has the ability to protect nationals from all over the world, but now you admit that casualties are inevitable in war. Maybe a few civilian deaths are normal in your opinion, but to me,
The innocent death of any subject is an unforgivable thing. It is my dereliction of duty as the emperor, so I must take all possible means to ensure the safety of life and property of every Chinese expatriate, including using the army." Yang Feng.
said.
"Your Majesty, what if the situation in Hue is calm?" Bi Sheng decided not to dwell on this issue. The Chinese have landed and will definitely not withdraw their troops. Now we must figure out the next step.
"Of course, as long as peace is restored in Vietnam and the safety of our nationals is guaranteed, I will certainly not continue to keep the army there." Emperor Yang told him with certainty.
With his reply, Bi Sheng had nothing to say. It seems that His Majesty the Emperor would not go back on his words, but he did not notice that Emperor Yang was talking about Vietnam and not Annan.
Looking at the back of this guy leaving, Emperor Yang smiled happily. When the troops protecting the overseas Chinese arrive in Hue, what else can't happen? For example, the French army attacks the Chinese soldiers, or the French army shells and bullets fall on China.
The consulate and the Chinese expatriates unfortunately died in the war. All in all, as long as the army openly arrived there, the next step would be nothing more than playing in Wicker Lake. He has a century of experience in doing this, and maybe a Beibu Gulf would also be good.
At this moment, after learning the news that the Chinese escort troops had landed, Colonel Philip could no longer care about the impact. He had already suffered more than a thousand casualties and escapes. At this speed, there would be absolutely no chance before the Chinese arrived.
Anyone who hopes to break into the royal city doesn't care about the impact. This guy used the poison gas bombs he carried. He also had two surviving mortars in his hand. He replaced them with mustard gas shells and fired directly at the fort.
On fire.
"Damn, these French people are so shameless!" Looking at the clouds of yellow poisonous mist rising around him, Chen Hu hurriedly put on a gas mask on his face and put on polyethylene protective clothing urgently. His soldiers
They also took out a full set of protective equipment. This is standard equipment for Chinese soldiers and must be carried wherever they fight. However, they were dumbfounded that they did not protect the Vietnamese.
"Retreat, retreat to the palace!" Chen Hu wore a gas mask and shouted at the clan member next to him. He was afraid that he wouldn't hear and made a walking gesture at the same time. In fact, needless to say, these people also collapsed in an instant. The gas bomb
At this time, his evil reputation has almost become a myth. These Vietnamese people have heard of it even if they are ill-informed, and the French army also used it against Huang Huatan before, but it is difficult for people to hide in the jungle sporadically to be effective.
That's all.
Looking at the poisonous mist permeating the fort, Colonel Philip nodded with satisfaction, and then signaled his men to start attacking. He did not notice that the three-story building of the People's Bank five hundred meters away from the battlefield, including the Tomorrow Daily and the People's
Including the radio station, reporters from several countries were setting up the latest color cameras to take pictures!
"Oh my god, they are using mustard gas. Are these French guys crazy? They just signed the Beijing Convention!" a German reporter exclaimed.
"Maybe their commander feels that if he doesn't use this kind of thing, he won't be able to break through the palace in his lifetime, right?" An Italian reporter said with a smile on his face, the poor performance of the French army in this battle has already
They became the laughing stock of them, and even British reporters couldn't help but laugh at these fools. Although the British army fought equally miserably in South Africa, at least it was in a battle with white people, and it was very early for the Boers to be able to fight.
It's famous, but what's going on? The French Army, which had several times the advantage, was beaten to pieces by a group of monkeys. It is estimated that this time the label of shame of the great powers has finally been replaced by someone.
The broadcasting studio of the Annan Station of the People's Radio was in this building. Just when the French used poison gas bombs, the news began to be broadcast through the transmitter, and then the people's radio stations in various places began to relay it around the world.
How long did it take for distant Europe to know that the French, who had just signed the Beijing Convention, violated the convention in Vietnam? Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain... Each of these contracting countries immediately stood up and righteously condemned the atrocities committed by the French army.
Poor Colonel Philip would vomit blood if he heard these sounds.
It's still atrocities. Now it's us who are being slaughtered like dogs, okay?
The current French army is indeed being slaughtered like dogs. The French soldiers, whose morale was boosted by the gas bombs, think that now those hateful monkeys on the opposite side should lie like dogs being whipped by whips under the devastation of mustard gas.
The people on the ground were wailing and struggling to death, so they completely relaxed their vigilance. They swarmed up one by one with full of hatred, preparing to cross the small bridge, blow open the city gate, and rush in to kick Ruan Fucichao's ass.
Unfortunately, just when nearly a thousand soldiers all rushed to the moat, scrambling to rush over, the fort, which was still shrouded in poisonous gas, suddenly fired guns and countless bullets roared in. The French army was caught off guard and instantly became a massacre.
The enemy fell, and the rest were stunned by this sudden blow. After reacting, the remaining French army collapsed again.
"Asshole, who can tell me why this is?" Looking at the men in front of him who were running back desperately, Colonel Philip roared angrily and madly. He really didn't understand what happened today and why he couldn't fight no matter how hard he tried.
Don't open this wall.
The poor performance of the French army once again became the laughing stock of reporters from various countries. One guy even bet on whether the French could defeat the Vietnamese. Unfortunately, no one bet with him. Judging from the current situation, it is hard to say.
"Hey, look what's going on over there!" Suddenly a reporter exclaimed. The reporters who were laughing at the French with great interest immediately followed his gaze and saw that at a French trading house in the north of the city, there was a thick layer of thick smoke.
Smoke is rising along with the firelight.
"Oh my God, poor Mr. Hollande!" A reporter couldn't help but mourn for the owner of the house. However, his words suddenly reminded the reporters that Hollande is a grain merchant who has always made money by exploiting Vietnamese people.
Yes, I have provoked countless hatreds on weekdays. Obviously, today is a very suitable day to complain and seek revenge, especially when the French army suffered heavy losses and the situation was very bad. Moreover, there were also a large number of Vietnamese troops defeated, and there were even many
For those who have not joined any party so far, in a city without restrictions, it may be difficult for them to resist the temptation of money.
As if to verify their guesses, sporadic gunshots were heard from the direction of Hue Industrial Bank, and the real chaos in the city finally began. (To be continued...)
