After Guo Xing'a set the general direction, Tan Shaoguang personally designed a plan for Li Zhi to comprehensively attack Vietnam, codenamed Operation Daiyu. The reason why Tan Shaoguang gave such a code name is because of the slender terrain of Vietnam, which is somewhat like the specialty of the Yellow and Bohai Seas, and the Manchurians prefer to eat hairtail fish. According to the general cooking method of hairtail, the hairtail needs to be cut into several sections, which is also in line with the goal of this operation.

In order to ensure the suddenness of the Ribbon Fish operation, the Manchurian Navy did not begin to clean up the remaining French fleet off the coast of Vietnam on a large scale, nor did it obviously assemble ships along the coast of Vietnam, but let the transport ships that ceded territory to the southern Han stay in the vicinity of Singapore and Mersing Harbor. Li Zhi also sent sappers to Thailand, making the appearance of assisting the Thai government in repairing the road so that the Manchurian army could attack in the future. The commander of the French army, Poliier, was really confused by these actions of the Manchurian army, and he repeatedly urged Lieutenant General Miller, the commander-in-chief of the French army, to complete the defensive deployment in Laos and Cambodia as soon as possible.

Porier did have a strong need, and if Li Zhi went around his flank and gave him a moment, the French army in Vietnam would be completely finished. However, Miller had a hard time meeting Pourier's demands, because the situation in Laos and Cambodia was complicated, and it was not up to the French to take up the defenses. The Qing Dynasty, which has always been ignorant, does not know the situation in Laos and Cambodia, and Guoxinga, who has always relied on the golden finger to live, is also habitually taken for granted, but Miller can't be like them! The French army in Laos and Cambodia has not yet reached the level of being a word, and strictly speaking, the country of Laos does not exist at all.

Cambodia became a French protectorate in the third year of Tongzhi, and the French army had many rights in Cambodia, but the Cambodian Phnom Penh dynasty still existed, and they also had a government and an army. France has always wanted to make Cambodia their colony, but they haven't succeeded! Moreover, the attitude of the Khmer royal family has always been very ambiguous, and they are also one of the alliances of the Qing Dynasty, and they have secretly received a lot of Manchurian aid. When the French were strong, they only dared to make some small moves, and they did not have the courage to do it with a clear sword and a gun, but if the Manchurian army pressed the border, Cambodia's attitude was not necessarily. Miller wanted the French army to enter Cambodia in a big way and deploy defenses throughout Cambodia, and the first one had to fight with the Cambodian army.

The situation in Cambodia is very difficult for Miller, and the situation in Laos is even more dire, because no one knows where Laos is except for Gohinga's insistence that there is such a country as Laos. In the land that Gohinga considers to be Laos, there are currently three countries, namely Vientiane, Luang Prabang and Champasak. They also paid tribute to the Qing Dynasty, but that was more than 100 years ago, and now it is really a subject country of Thailand. When Zhiyuan provoked Southeast Asia, they also accepted assistance from Manchuria and joined the Great Qing vassal alliance, but because of Goxinga's stubbornness, they only had one place in Laos. And these babies, who listen to the words of the Thai boss very much, have always acted under the command of Thailand.

The clever Thais, fearing that Manchuria thought they had ambitions, had always controlled these three small countries in the form of remote control, and had never claimed them as his subjects in East Asia. But Thailand has always regarded these subject countries as dead, and when Vietnam expanded, the reason why it offended Thailand, which does not border with them, was because of these treasures. The French also have a certain amount of influence in these three small states, but they want to enter their territory to set up defenses, but there is no door. The national defense strength of the three small countries can be negligible, but they cannot ignore Thailand, which has a whole army and military force. The Manchurians didn't kill them, the Thais fought first, and they couldn't stand it either.

After Miller explained his plight to Pourier, Poirier expressed his understanding, and all Pourier could do was understand. Feng Zicai in the north has already divided his troops into two routes and began to move south, Feng Zicai and Zheng Yong are storming Taiyuan all the way, and He Huan and Liu Yongfu are besieging Xuanguang all the way. According to the analysis of the troops and equipment of both sides, the French army can hold out for half a month at most, and there is absolutely no possibility of holding the fortress and launching a counterattack. Japanese-style equipment, in the eyes of the Manchurian Army, is second-class equipment, but in the eyes of the French, it has a cross-era advanced nature, and the French army cannot bear it at all. Artillery, which the French had previously relied on, was now almost a joke, in a completely abused position, and if it weren't for the poor math of the Qing soldiers, the French defense line would have collapsed by now.

"Your Excellency Commander, our fleet has just discovered something unusual, please take a look at this information immediately!" Li Shibis, who succeeded him, had been leading the French Far East Fleet to garrison Da Nang, but they had to retreat in the harbor because the Manchurian fleet was traveling to and from the South China Sea. However, Li Shibis did not dare to relax the monitoring of the situation in the open sea, and then a French patrol boat noticed something unusual.

"The difference in the number of Manchurian transports to the South Seas?" Pourier looked at the information for a long time, but he didn't find the main point, after all, he was not a professional admiral.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander! The Manchurians had previously used a large number of transport ships to transport people and supplies to their new southern territories and to return to Manchuria with the products of the South Seas. However, according to the statistics of our patrol boats, more than 200 transport ships did not return with their transport fleet, but their whereabouts are unknown. This is a very unusual thing, the Manchurians are now very busy with sea transport lines, two hundred transport ships is a very large number, and the whereabouts of these ships are definitely a very dangerous signal! "Li Shibis is very careful now, and he no longer has the contempt for the Chinese in the past. And it has to be said that Goshinga's covert methods are not very good, and the French mathematics is really good.

"You mean......" Porrière thought of a terrible possibility.

"Yes, they may have concentrated these transport ships in Singapore, Pontianak and other ports to form a military transport fleet. A transport fleet of this size can transport more than two divisions and all their equipment and supplies at one time. Unless the plan of the Manchurians was to attack the British Australia, we would definitely be in very great danger. "Li Shibis originally planned to land in China, so his landing battle is very familiar.

"Our fleet, can be ......" Pollier immediately opened the map, and then he found himself tragic.

European fleets have always been unscrupulous in East Asia, and their fleets have always been victors, so they have never paid much attention to the coastal defense of their colonies. Moreover, the French army had been entrenched in southern Vietnam for a long time, and they did not occupy the whole of Vietnam for a long time, and the coastal defense was even more rudimentary. Vietnam's coastline was so long that the French did not know where to defend it, even if they wanted to. If the Manchurian Army launched a landing operation against Vietnam, the French army would not be able to prevent it at all, and could only watch the landing of others. After the Manchurian army landed, there was no need to fight this battle, the French army had been divided and surrounded, and there was nothing to fight.

"We have been keeping an eye on the Sanya base of the Manchurian Army on Hainan Island, but we have forgotten the powerful Nanyang Fleet in the south, if they attack us in the north, our Far East Fleet will only be able to buy you a maximum of two days!" Li Shipis was very pessimistic, the French Far East Fleet was too rudimentary, and it was no match for the Manchurian South Sea Fleet.

"We have been deceived by the trickery of the Manchurians, who have been operating in Thailand, but whose aim is to attack from the sea. The Manchurian army of the brigade entered Thailand from Malaya, and then attacked us from Laos and Cambodia, and it would take at least a month or more to move, and it was very difficult to replenish supplies. But if we attack from the sea, they will be able to appear in front of us in a few days, and it will be very easy to resupply. We really shouldn't ignore that! Porrier suddenly felt very tired, he could no longer save his army.

The French army could not mobilize the Vietnamese people to stand with them against the Chinese, they could only rely on themselves, but they could not rely on themselves. The only things that the French army could get supplies in Vietnam were raw materials such as food and coal, medicines, weapons and ammunition, etc., all of which needed to rely on supplies from the French mainland. Now that the Strait of Malacca is completely blocked, the Vietnamese French army can only get a little supply from Burma from the direction of Laos, which is not only scarce in quantity, but also very unstable. The French army was already besieged by the enemy, and Pourier did not need to think about how to hold Vietnam, because it was doomed to be hopeless, and what he had to do was to protect the more than 50,000 French troops in Vietnam.

After reporting his situation in detail to Paris, Pourier was instructed to preserve his strength as much as possible, so what Pourier had to do was to join Miller in Burma as soon as possible. There is no way out in the direction of Cambodia, and all Poriya can count on is to enter Myanmar through the three states of Laos. The military strength of the three states of Laos is very weak, and there is no need to worry about them at all, so the Thai army stationed in the three states of Laos is a little scratching its head, but if the French army only crosses the border at high speed, the Thai army will definitely not be able to stop them. So Pourier quickly made a plan to assemble all the French troops in Hue, and then all enter Laos and flee to Burma with all their might. The plan was made, and Pourier still had a bunch of people who couldn't settle down, and that was poor Lesbians.

"Let's go together!" Pourier advised the Far Eastern Fleet to abandon all its warships and retreat with them to Burma by land.

"Thank you for your favor, but the warriors will not give up their weapons, and I can't give up the whole fleet!" Lesbian had his sense of honor.

"Stay in Vietnam......" Borier was a little unbearable, and the Far Eastern Fleet stayed in Vietnam, and there was only a dead end except surrender.

"We'll have a way!" Li Shibis also has his own escape route, and he may not be able to escape, but he still wants to try.

"Okay!" Pourier did not persuade much.

After the order was delivered, the French army quickly abandoned the cities of Tuyen Quang, Taiyuan, and Shanxi on the northern front, and even the big cities of Saigon in the south also withdrew, and all concentrated on the Hue line to break through to Laos. Li Shibis also set sail and prepared to go to the route he had planned.

"Commander, discover the Manchurian fleet, the scale is very huge, and there are more than ten main warships!" As a result, as soon as they went to sea, the French army encountered a big guy.
