"Isn't it abnormal that we didn't take advantage of the situation?" Emperor Yang suddenly asked his chief attendant.
"Your Majesty, if you tell the truth, it is indeed a bit abnormal." Attendant Yuan said honestly.
Not only is it abnormal, the reaction of China or Emperor Yang is simply inexplicable to the outside world. All countries are placing bets. It is completely unbelievable that a top-seeded player like him has not reacted at all. Even those The impatient brothers were all asking when Emperor Yang would come on stage, especially since Hamid II’s telegrams came almost eight times a day.
In recent years, His Majesty Hamid the Great has been making oil wealth while earning transfer fees, which can be said to be a huge source of wealth. With the money in hand, he has extended favors to the Turks and expanded his armaments. At the same time, he has brutally and bloody suppressed those who have always been He almost killed all the dishonest peoples, such as the Armenians, and the effect of purifying the country was extremely significant. Now the one million Ottoman troops are full of energy and waiting to join the war to take back Crimea and Egypt. Woolen cloth!
If he were not worried about Yang Feng's reaction, Hamid II would have decided to throw Yang Feng away and declare war on the Allies. Now in his opinion, this can no longer wait until the day lilies are cold.
"Oh, if that's the case, then let's follow the public opinion, take advantage of the situation, and order the troops of the Kunming Military Region and Saigon Military Region to mobilize to the borders of Laos and Khmer. At the same time, all the current domestic landing ships will be transferred to Cam Ranh Bay, Nanyang and Dongyang fleets. Our marine divisions are gathering towards Cam Ranh Bay." Emperor Yang thought for a while and said.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Yuan Shikai asked.
"It's very simple. Didn't the French want to sell us the protection rights of Laos and Khmer last time? This time I want them to give it to us." Yang Feng said with a grin.
The large-scale mobilization of the Chinese navy and army immediately scared the British and French into a cold sweat. In fact, at this time, as the first batch of British troops joined the Alpine front, they had temporarily curbed the German offensive. After all, the terrain there was too dangerous. It can be said that one man can stop ten thousand men from breaking through. Of course, this rule does not apply when there is a coagulated qi decoy bomb falling above the head.
The German army could only attack along a long and narrow passage, and the French army had previously blasted the Mont Seny tunnel. Before the tunnel was repaired, the German army could only use trucks to supply supplies along the road built by Napoleon. The supply capacity was severely restricted. Although the airships and coagulated bombs cleared the ground, they still advanced slowly. However, as a steady stream of British troops arrived later, it was not impossible for Britain and France to hold on to the Alps.
But if China joins the Allies at this time, then they really have no other choice but to surrender. Even if Chinese soldiers do not appear on the European battlefield, Spain, which has almost become Yang Feng's lackey, will join the war and cross the Pyrenees. , the Allied Powers had no point in continuing the war.
For a time, Britain, France, and Russia were all panicked, and they began to use all their magic to win over Yang Feng. First, they upgraded their diplomatic level to ambassadorial level, and then Italy and Portugal did the same. Of course, this was all false, and at most it only looked good. It will definitely not really impress Emperor Yang. He must show his sincerity with something tangible. Judging from his military deployment, it is obvious that the target is Khmer and Laos.
To be honest, the French government doesn't mind giving it to these two small countries at this time. Anyway, even if they win the European war, the Far East has become a memory for them. In this case, it is better to use it to bribe Yang Feng.
, As for domestic public opinion, this is easy to explain. Just sign a sales agreement with China casually. Anyway, it was mentioned last time. As for the money, you can give it if you want to, and if you don’t want to, that’s it.
Just write down a tacit number and be able to cope with domestic public opinion when the time comes.
But the question is, how can we guarantee that after Yang Feng got Khmer and Laos, he would eat it up and refuse to admit it? At that time, wouldn’t France have lost Khmer and Laos and continue to be ravaged?
What a joke? Emperor Yang was completely notorious in politics.
"Sign a treaty of peace and friendship between China and France? Your Excellency Ambassador, although we are all willing to take actions to continue to maintain peace and friendship between China and France, under the current situation, such a treaty is obviously inappropriate. If your country insists on this
I would consider this a treaty to be a question of our friendship!" Yang Feng said with a straight face. He really didn't expect the French to have such a request, but it wouldn't be surprising if he thought about it carefully.
If you offer Khmer and Laos with both hands, then turn around and China still joins the Allies to beat them, France will become a joke.
However, he would definitely not be able to sign such a treaty, but he could guarantee it to the French in another way, and he could continue to play out his script.
"Well, I understand your country's concerns very well, and I understand them very well. However, a peace and friendship treaty is completely unnecessary. I can use practical actions to reaffirm my friendship with the French people." Yang Feng thought for a while.
Said with a smile.
Lu Ban, the French ambassador to China, looked at him with some doubts, but Yang Feng did not continue speaking. Instead, he motioned to Attendant Yuan beside him. The chief attendant immediately invited Lu Ban out, and then went to his room.
The office then said: "Your Excellency Ambassador, in order to express your Majesty's friendship to the French people, we can sell a new type of du gas to France. This new type of du gas is very powerful. Once used on the battlefield, I can guarantee that you will not only be able to easily
By holding on to the Alps, we might even be able to counterattack and invade Italy."
Lu Ban's eyes almost popped out of his head. In fact, Yang Feng asked Yuan Shichang to continue talking with him. This had already made him guess that Yang Feng might be preparing to sell a new type of weapon to France, but he did not expect that there would be
This is not a pie in the sky, it should be a good thing that gold cakes fall from the sky.
Defending the Alps is what the whole of France, and even the entire Allies, dreams of.
"Don't you believe it, Your Excellency Ambassador? But if you don't believe it, we can't do experiments on you. This kind of poison is so powerful that it can only be truly demonstrated on the battlefield. I can give you a batch to test on the battlefield.
But the quantity will not be very large. In fact, we have just developed this kind of du gas, and the current output is very small." Yuan Shikai said.
What Emperor Yang gave the French to reverse the situation was simple, shalin.
Mustard gas and Lewis gas were already widespread on the battlefield at this time. All countries were equipped with complete protective measures, but the effect was getting worse and worse. More importantly, the soldiers were very familiar with these things. The iconic poison
As soon as the fog appears and the pungent smell is smelled, everyone can find maximum protection in the shortest time.
But it's different when it comes to shalin. This thing has no color, and has a fruity smell at most. And it doesn't form an obvious poisonous mist like mustard gas. It's very concealable, and its power is not comparable to that of mustard gas. With this
Such a large-scale killer weapon, the French should have no problem if they want to block the German offensive. More importantly, with the current technical level of various countries, it is definitely impossible to produce this kind of thing, which means that the supply is controlled at
In China's hands, if it needs them to have an advantage on the battlefield, it will give them more points. If it needs them to suffer a defeat, it will temporarily break it off and control it like a puppet.
The French naturally dream of such a good thing. Although Emperor Yang has shown his hatred of evil spirits every day in recent years, everyone knows that he was the one who unleashed the most ferocious devil in the history of war. Since it was him who did it,
Of course, they are all good things. Soon a cargo airship carried a hundred shrapnel shells fired by 150 mortars to Singapore, and then they were urgently loaded onto a British cruiser and sent to Singapore as quickly as possible.
Europe, and at the same time, Sino-French negotiations on the transfer of protection rights for Laos and Khmer were also launched in Beijing.
At this time, the combined fleet composed of the Austro-Hungarian Navy and the Greek Navy had also blocked the outside of the Taranto military port. The Italian Navy did not dare to go out to fight due to lack of strength, so it could only ask for help from the British and French fleets in the Port of Toulon, but
The French firmly refused to send out their four precious Guba-class battleships to rescue the Italians. At this time, the French were already hurt by the idiots, and they had no interest in caring about the lives of these guys.
Besides, even if their four Guba-class ships are gone, it is difficult to have a chance of winning. The naval battle between Britain and Germany has proved the quality of those Swedish battleships. It is obvious that whether they are Guba-class or Dante-class, one-on-one
They can't beat the Kunlun class in a single fight, and now it's 8 to 8. What's more, the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Navy's combined force class is more than that of the Kunlun class. Those 356mm cannons are simply not something that French and Italian battleships can compete with, unless the British
If four to six more battleships are mobilized, otherwise the French fleet will never rescue the Italians. Besides, how easy is it to deal with the mysterious ultra-long-range torpedoes of the Austro-Hungarian Navy?
The British understand this very well. After all, after Greece joined the war, the balance of power in the Mediterranean has been reversed. And based on the performance of the Italians, even they don't want to care about the life and death of these guys. As for deploying battleships from the mainland, that is definitely not possible.
The German Kiel Canal has been opened to navigation, which means that they can transfer six battleships from the Baltic Sea to the North Sea at any time. The 23 battleships and battle cruisers will face the British 28. The strength comparison has been
It is very dangerous. How can the British dare to move battleships to the Mediterranean again? Once they leave, the German High Seas Fleet will definitely rush out of Wilhelmshaven and cut off shipping to Europe, forcing the British Home Fleet to fight decisively.
As for the Italians, they have no choice but to let them serve as a presence fleet in Taranto. Anyway, there is a torpedo array outside and there is no need to worry about the Oshi fleet getting in. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
