When the parliamentarian heard this, he was also a little stunned, he carefully prepared two trump cards, but he didn't expect them to be easily disintegrated by Xu Jichao, and he had the intention to mess around again, such as not recognizing the [Treaty of Nebuchu] or the Republic of Lanfang, but think about it, forget it, first, Xu Jichao has already said that if you want to ask for information about the [Treaty of Nebuchu] or the Republic of Lanfang, you can go to East China** The Consulate in France; Second, this is the French Parliament after all, and whether it is a debate, a challenge, or a mess, there must be a bottom line, and there can be no indefinite chaos.

However, although he plans to stop fighting, Xu Jichao doesn't plan to let him go, after all, he just messed around and annoyed Xu Jichao a little, and if he doesn't fight back, let them know that they are not easy to mess with, and let the councillors play freely, although he said that he has made full preparations, but who knows what kind of demon moth will come out next, this one is still a bit of a bottom line, but what if there is another person who has no bottom line!

So Xu Jichao said: "Sir, I want to ask you a question, in 1871, France and Germany signed the [Frankfurt Peace Treaty], stipulating that the Alsace-Lorraine region of France would be ceded to Germany. ”

After Xu Jichao finished speaking, the councilor's face suddenly swollen red, but he couldn't say a word. The Frankfurt Peace Treaty was the second peace treaty signed between France and Germany after the Franco-Prussian War, after France and Prussia signed the draft of the Treaty of Versailles, but it triggered a popular uprising in Paris and established the Paris Commune and was annulled. As a result, the Prussian army invaded Paris, and King Wilhelm I of Prussia was officially crowned Emperor of the German Empire at Versailles, France, completing the unification of Germany. and signed the [Frankfurt Peace Treaty] with the new French ** on the basic terms of the draft Treaty of Versailles, but the conditions were more stringent, the indemnity was increased from 200 million francs to 5 billion francs, and most of Alsace-Lorraine was ceded.

The Franco-Prussian War was an eternal pain in the hearts of the French, and the Alsace-Lorraine region, in the eyes of the French, was of course still French territory, but it was only occupied by Germany, so the parliamentarian could not answer Xu Jichao's question at all, because if he denied that the Alsace-Lorraine region belonged to Germany, then it would be contrary to the theory of the validity of the international treaty he said earlier, and he could not recognize the Alsace-Lorraine region as German territory on the spot, so he could only sit down with his head bowed, hoping to get under the table.

However, Xu Jichao mentioned the Franco-Prussian War, which also angered some French parliamentarians, who ignored their own people's nonsense, and thought that Xu Jichao deliberately mentioned the Franco-Prussian War to humiliate France, so they also lost their minds a little, and a parliamentarian did not wait for the speaker to be named, stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "East China ** claims to love peace and oppose colonization and aggression, but after the end of the war, it demanded a large amount of reparations from the defeated countries, what is this not banditry?"

After he finished speaking, the speaker shook his head again and again, what kind of question is this asking, and the payment of war reparations by the defeated country to the victorious country is a matter of course, and is it worth taking it out? Even if East China prides itself on loving peace and opposing colonialism and aggression, this does not mean that it is time to ask for war reparations.

Sure enough, Xu Jichao said with a smile: "This is a very interesting question for Mr., there was a war on our own land and we suffered huge losses, and at the same time, in order to resist aggression and regain lost territory, we also spent a lot of manpower and material resources, shouldn't these expenses be compensated by the country that launched the war and launched the invasion?"

In fact, after asking this question, the congressman also regretted it, because he also knew that this was not a good question, but Xu Jichao's answer still made him very embarrassed, so his mind was hot, and he didn't care about the consequences, and said: "Mr. Xu, I think that you and the East China ** you represent are not qualified to represent China, China's only legitimate ** is the Qing State**, and East China ** is just a rebellious force, it is ......"

"Mr. Pierno, your statement has gone too far. Before the member could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the Speaker, "As a member of Parliament, you are no longer worthy of this honor, so I don't think you should stay here any longer, so please resign." ”

Now there are two regimes in China, this is a well-known thing, although legally speaking, the Qing court is indeed the only legal ** in China, and it is not wrong to say that East China ** is a rebellion of the Qing court, but these situations cannot be put on the table. After all, in this era, strength is still king, and now the strength of East China has far exceeded that of the Qing court, and it has been replaced by a matter of recent years, no country will deny the existence of East China because the Qing court has a legal advantage;

And this parliamentarian tore this fig leaf all at once, and it was not only East China ** who was embarrassed, but also France, because this visit was invited by France **, so that if it is not handled well, it will cause a major diplomatic incident, if it is to the Qing court, it doesn't matter, anyway, the Qing court is useless, how big a wave can it afford, but East China ** is different, although the speaker also has no good impression of East China**, but he still knows East China** It is a country that must not be taken lightly, so the decision was made on the spot to expel the parliamentarians who had spoken.

The councillor was stunned for a moment, and then his mind was a little clear, and he knew that he had committed a diplomatic taboo, so he only left the council hall with his head bowed.

Then the speaker bowed to Xu Jichao again and said: "I'm sorry Mr. Xu, I deeply regret that such a thing happened, but please believe that Mr. Pierno's speech only represents his own person, and does not represent the French parliament and **, and we do not hold any position on China's internal affairs." ”

Xu Jichao nodded and said, "Mr. Speaker, although Councilor Pierno's speech does not represent the opinion of the parliament, I think there should still be some people who have the same thoughts as him, so I still hope to be able to reply here." ”

The speaker also smiled bitterly, and could only signal for Xu Jichao to speak.

Xu Jichao said: "In fact, to a certain extent, Pierno's statement is not wrong, because before we returned to China, the ruler of China was indeed the Qing State**, and ruled China for more than 250 years, and after we returned to China, it was also under the rule of the Qing State for a time, so it makes sense to call us a rebellion of the Qing State." But I think whether a ** rule has legitimacy, no longer in the order and length of the reign, but in whether this ** can safeguard the interests of the country, protect the safety of the people, in our China, there is an ancient saying, called 'the world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world.'" Those who benefit from the world will gain the world, and those who are good at the benefits of the world will lose the world." In the past 60 years, the Chunguo has been defeated in many wars abroad, so that it has ceded land and paid reparations, lost power and humiliated the country; internally, it is greedy for power, incompetent in governing the country, does not want to make progress, and refuses to encourage reform in governance. I think this reason, France should be the most understandable, Bi Jing France also has a similar experience to China, and it is after several revolutions and changes that the current French Republic is here. In short, if the Qing country cannot make the country strong and stable, and the people rich and safe, then it is up to us to do it. Of course, if we can't do it, it means that we are not qualified to rule China, and it is a matter of course that we will be replaced by a more capable and qualified emerging ** in the future. ”

After Xu Jichao finished speaking, there was a silence in the parliament hall at first, but then there was a round of applause, although most parliamentarians did not have a good impression of East China, but they agreed with the truth in Xu Jichao's words, the French Revolution was the transformation of France from the feudal Bourbon dynasty to the modern capitalist republic, the Napoleonic era that Chinese are most familiar with and relish, is part of the French Revolution. Although there is still a certain amount of controversy among scholars in various countries about the historical significance of the French Revolution, and some people believe that this revolution is too radical, the mainstream view in France is still positive about this revolution.

Although historically speaking, the French Revolution ended in 1830 after the establishment of the July Dynasty, but the aftermath affected France for nearly 40 years, a total of more than 80 years, and during this period, France established three republics, two empires, and countless small dynasties or small eras, and even the Bourbon dynasty was restored several times, and in the republican system, It was not until 1870 that the current French Third Republic was established as a formal republican system in France. Therefore, if you want to talk about the jurisprudence of rule, you can't talk about it at all in France. In addition, Xu Jichao's comparison of China with France obviously also agrees with the French Revolution, which makes many parliamentarians feel better.

However, the speaker was relieved to see the applause, it seems that Congressman Pierno's speech did not have much impact on the speech questions, of course, this is also due to Xu Jichao's last speech resonated with the parliamentarians, and resolved a crisis invisibly. At this time, the speaker didn't care about what to embarrass Xu Jichao, so he took advantage of the current atmosphere to hurriedly announce the end of the speech, and everyone left.
