When Chen Fang reported it to France.

The French side only learned that the news of their fleet was completely annihilated, and they learned almost the same thing before and after, so they naturally couldn't respond, and it could even be said that they hadn't come back to their senses, so it could be said that they were directly dumbfounded.

They are still thinking about getting Vietnam to send troops to harass China's southern provinces and create problems for China.

When the war begins, it is necessary to do whatever it takes.

It is necessary to start an all-out war and try to get China to surrender quickly, or to back down.

I didn't expect it.

They became the losing party.

In a week's time, his navy was completely annihilated in the Suez Canal, and it did not reach China at all, and it was still thousands of miles away, and it was wiped out.

There is not one left, and all the 100,000 troops have become drowned ghosts?

This is completely beyond the French** perception of China.

In their eyes, how can the Chinese have this ability?

Thousands of miles away, ambushing enemy troops?

This kind of ability, not many countries in the world can do it, the main thing is that this is already the best fleet of France at the moment.

This time.

Naturally, it is overwhelming.

French presidents Albert and Lebrun immediately convened a national military conference and summoned everyone they could, because it was beyond what they had originally envisioned for war.

They thought that their fleet might not be able to compete with the other party, because China also had a super fleet at this time, but they didn't expect that the defeat would be so miserable and so incomplete.

At this time, the president looked at everyone, and said in a jealous and angry voice: "Chiang has already called me, saying that if we continue to fight, then their fleet will reach our shores along the Suez Canal and bomb our interior. ”

“······”

“······”

The audience was silent, not because they were afraid, but because they didn't expect that everyone was blinded by this sudden news.

At this time, the original main battle faction all shut up.

Looking at the various aspects of the report.

I can't even believe it in my mind, I feel that it may be caused by some kind of bad weather, and I have all kinds of luck psychology.

The people of the Lord and the faction had already expected it, and had to stand up and say: "The strength of our navy is actually about the same as that of the Japanese navy, and Japan and China are neighbors, and they can reach the battlefield in half a day, but our army will have more than a month, and at this time, China has a fleet far beyond imagination, there is no need to fight such a war, they hold the Suez Canal, and our fleet will not be able to reach China at all, how do you say this battle will be fought?" ”

Others also said: "After three months, China will definitely compromise, this is true, their country's economic and comprehensive strength cannot allow them to have such a strong iteration ability, but the problem is that under the current situation, our army is not capable of resisting the other side for three months." ”

"Impossible."

The arrogant French soldiers were still angry and still disdainful, "This is impossible, our navy can't do it, we can fight a ground war, let Vietnam attack from the south, and disrupt their deployment." ”

"Yes, we can also cooperate with Japan, give up the so-called justice, and win this war first."

"We can also think of Britain asking for help, annihilating the opponent's fleet, and then send a large-scale army, as long as our army reaches the battlefield, there is still hope for victory."

"Even if the British side is not willing to help, we can transfer troops from Africa, anyway, as long as we enter the land, we will have a chance."

It's all angry words.,A brainless word.。。

The Lords and factions presented strong evidence, "This is undoubtedly a death sentence, and this command has made our subsequent negotiations passive." The Vietnamese army and the African army have no combat effectiveness at all, and even if they do, their combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the main force of the Japanese army, but the main force of the Japanese army has been completely annihilated by 400,000, you say, what is the point of the people we sent out? It's just a matter of death. ”

"As for asking for help from the British, do you think it is appropriate?"

"France went to England for a war in the Far East, and I didn't agree."

"Japan is a lesson for us, and we can't fight."

"Now the losses are still very small, stop the war, so that we will not be completely passive because of a small concession."

The voice of the Lord and the faction, which was justified and well-founded, took the lead for a while.

Although the main battle faction was angry and gritted their teeth, they were not fools in high positions, and it was clear from them that the annihilation of the navy this time represented a precursor to defeat.

The only thing that can be done is to talk about it, and not to fight anymore.

It is a shame to be defeated in World War I, but it is better than being mired in war and unable to extricate itself, so that the whole country is passive.

That's a stop-loss.

But the main battle faction still said angrily, "They have invaded our concession, even if they negotiate peace, they must be allowed to make concessions, and they cannot be cut unconditionally." ”

"yes, that's the bottom line."

Saying such a thing means that there is no confidence to fight.

French presidents Albert and Lebrun looked at this situation and knew and thoroughly understood that peace should be sued, and France has more colonies, and the whole country should not be put into passivity because of a concession.

Finally, after three hours of negotiations.

A consensus was reached.

Peace talks.

But peace talks must not make concessions, and must save the face of the French.

The news was also conveyed to Chen Fang's side.

France is willing to negotiate peace.

Chen Fang immediately relayed the news to Lao Jiang, "Chairman of the committee, they are willing to negotiate peacefully, haha, the French are scared." ”

"Good."

Lao Jiang was very happy, waved his hand, and said heroically: "I don't have to come forward in this matter anymore, let the general of the country talk about it, he can talk about it whatever he wants, haha, let him be responsible." ”

"Yes."

This time.

Chen contacted the French ambassador.

The French ambassador dared to delay, and went to Shanghai in person to meet Han Li.

This moment.

It was France that panicked, and the whole world was reporting during this time, and the news of France's defeat was reporting on the floating corpses on the Suez Canal, and the scene was not tragic.

More than 100,000 people?

The French ambassador was naturally a lot more humble at this time, sat down at the negotiation table, and said seriously: "General Han, our side is willing to let the concession realm, but according to the treaty, you must make concessions, because now in legal terms, the French concession is our French territory." ”

Han Li and Long Wenwen were all present.

Long Wen wanted to laugh, but he was defeated, and he was asked to compensate, isn't this a trouble? I want to say no.

Han Li stopped, knowing what the French wanted, they wanted face, face was the least valuable, what he wanted was Lizi, so he said directly: "We have already thought about the terms of the peace talks, we are willing to pay a ransom and redeem the lease, as for the price, let's calculate it based on the ten years of tax revenue in the French Concession, pay it all at once, no credit, what." ”

Get off the donkey down the slope, and give enough face.

The French ambassador was instantly shocked, "This, this, really?" ”

He has received a secret telegram from the French president, hoping for a quick solution, a quick end, but he cannot make concessions if the other side is too tough or does not take into account the feelings of France.

That would not be a peace talk, but a national war.

As a result, the other party gave such an answer that he was willing to take money to redeem the lease, which is a lot in the world, North America, Africa, which can be said to be very good.

The French ambassador couldn't believe that it would go so smoothly, "General Han, you are sure that you will use ten years of taxes to redeem the French Concession." ”

Han Li nodded seriously, "Yes, that's it. ”

"Then there are no other conditions?"

"No, not a single one, this lease is for your treaty port, you have been operating here for a hundred years, creating countless wealth, and now you deserve to harvest in advance, and take away ten years of taxes, and it is also reasonable, it can be regarded as a peaceful parting."

Han Li's gaze was determined and serious.

"Break up peacefully? Haha, okay, okay, I'll go back to life right away. ”

The French ambassador was overjoyed.

After immediately ending the negotiations, and after informing French Presidents Albert and Le Brun non-stop, they immediately received a reply, "The conditions are okay, but we must be allowed to take away all the staff members of the French Concession and their due property, and if they do not want to sell them, you are not allowed to take them away by force." ”

"Yes, these can be written clearly."

Han Li nodded in determination.

This moment.

Peace talks were reached.

The Sino-French war over the French Concession stopped in less than ten days.

The French Concession was redeemed by ransom.

It's a peaceful breakup.

Giving France enough face, China also demonstrated its sovereignty, showed its muscles, and showed off fiercely.

Both parties are satisfied.

Of course, there are some side effects. That is, let the whole world see clearly that the France of this era simply does not have the strong fighting ability of the Napoleonic era, and appeasement and compromise are synonymous with France in this era.

That's not wrong at all.

Germany and France have a feud, France ** in the case of having many overseas territories, still appeased, still compromised, France in this era. Only the pride of France remains, and there is no blood of France.

The Chinese side won all.

Han Lile saw Fan Erdi again, shook hands with him with a smile, and said goodbye, "Mr. Fan Erdi, you should be happy, you are a witness to history, you have witnessed, the end of the French Concession, witnessed, the advent of a new era." ”

“······”

Vandi was speechless.

The war was over in ten days, the greatest humiliation in the history of France, but he had been informed that France had lost 100,000 troops and almost the most powerful fleet in the country at this time.

Without the support of the fleet.

None of the French troops could reach China, so naturally they could not fight.

In the end, he was able to obtain ten years of tax revenue from the French Concession, which was already a perfect ending.

He looked at Han Li, saw Han Li stretched out his hand, and he also shook it together, and said helplessly: "You have won, congratulations on taking back your homeland, but I also hope that you can make Shanghai more prosperous and powerful, and don't waste our French people's century-old faith." ”

"Yes."

Han Li laughed.

The winds of change.

Ending this hundred years of shame.

Han Li's exploits had reached the peak again.
