86_86661 "Good! It's so bold! It's the first time I've heard such a wonderful statement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć "Nguyen Shu seemed to be greatly touched.
Pan Peizhu said to Chen Zhong with a smile: "Our Mr. Nguyen once shouldered the mission of uniting the Qing Dynasty to resist France, experienced the tragic era of China and Vietnam jointly resisting foreign aggression, and at the same time felt the influence of "Western civilization", and advocated learning the advanced technology of "foreigners" to fight against "foreigners".
As an oriental intellectual with outstanding talents, Mr. Ruan was an extremely elegant envoy, who had close contacts with people from all walks of life in China and Japanese friends in China, chanting poems and singing harmony, talking about scriptures and history, and witnessing the inheritance and exchange of traditional oriental civilization in troubled times.
However, Mr. Ruan used a show of talent to save the country, but he suffered huge blows again and again, and failed many times, which made us understand that only by relying on extreme armed forces can we achieve the freedom of national rights, civil rights, and the prosperity of the people's livelihood. ā
"Yes, you two are right, a gentle way to save the country will not work in front of the great powers, and it is always yourself who will be hurt in the end. Therefore, we must use guns and cannons to fight those robbers, and fight for freedom and justice at the cost of blood! Chen Zhong looked at Nguyen Shu and Peng Peizhu, who had been defeated and fought for Vietnam repeatedly, and felt infinite sympathy and emotion in his heart.
So, Chen Zhong asked, "Two gentlemen, how have you prepared recently?" ā
"Lord Wang, we are here to discuss this matter with you today. Now, our organization is developing very well and we have recruited a lot of like-minded friends in China. We have also developed an army, and the equipment of a division sent by the prince has also been sent to the country one after another, and these are not problems. We have considered that if we want our contingent to continue to grow, we also need to train our own military command talents, but we cannot set up a military academy under our current conditions, so we would like to negotiate with the prince whether we can leave some places for us in your military academy, so that our contingent will have professional military command personnel to participate in it one after another. I wonder if this request can be approved by the prince? Peng Peizhu said with anticipation.
Chen Zhongdao: "Our military academy is also under construction, and the number of places is limited, but it should be no problem to commission a part of it for you." Recently, we have expanded the original Hainan Army School and renovated it into a comprehensive South China Sea Army Command College. ā
When Pan Peizhu and Nguyen Shu heard Chen Zhong's words, they were very happy, because with the support of the king of Hainan, Vietnam would not be far from success.
The Hainan Military Academy mentioned by Chen Zhong was originally a relatively simple school for cultivating military talents, and its curriculum and teaching were relatively simple.
The South China Sea Army Command College, which has now been expanded, has introduced the essence of famous military academies in the West, added many departments, added many hardware facilities, and expanded its scale.
The main disciplines are the Department of Infantry, the Department of Artillery, the Department of Engineers, the Department of Logistics, the Department of Organization, the Department of Heavy Troops, and the Department of Military Police. The enrollment quota of the school is 650 students.
The Southern Naval Academy's institutional setup consists of six departments: organization, education, training, management, medicine, and supplies.
When Chen Zhong was talking with Ruan Shu and Peng Peizhu about being excited, the guard officer came to report: "My lord, Mr. Victor, the envoy of France, I have an urgent matter to ask for an appointment. ā
Chen Zhong said, "Let them in." The king received them in this West Garden Hall. ā
The guard officer hesitated, glanced at Peng Peizhu and them, and said, "Lord Wang, are they avoiding it?" ā
"Why avoid it?! Do you need to avoid meeting friends on the king's turf?! What a joke! Chen Zhong said.
Ruan Shu looked at Peng Peizhu and said, "Is this really not too good, I think we should avoid it." ā
Chen Zhong waved his hand and said, "There's no need, this king has always done things above board, why should he dodge in front of the French?" Let him in. ā
The guard invited Victor in, who did not know Ruan Shu and them, and although he knew their names, he had never seen a real person.
The first thing Victor said when he saw Chen Zhong: "Your Excellency the King of Hainan, we are looking for our country's staff Gerry and others, and later, from many sources, I learned that you were brought to Hainan by your Hainan King, so today, I came to your Hainan to ask the King of Hainan to return Gerry to us." ā
Chen Zhong sneered: "Mr. Ambassador, do you know what kind of tone you are using to talk to this king? This king can order someone to throw you out now! ā
Victor shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your Excellency the King of Hainan, I have no intention of disrespecting you, but I would like to ask the King of Hainan to hand over the missing persons of our country to us." ā
Chen Zhong sneered and said, "This kind of talk is basically okay, but, one thing, where did you know this news?" Isn't it, what the Japanese told you? ā
Victor hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Excellency the King of Hainan, nothing can escape your eyes, you are so smart." I can never fool you in front of you, yes, it was the Japanese military who passed it on to us. Please leave them to me. ā
Chen Zhong stood up and said with a sneer: "Mr. Ambassador, you will definitely be disappointed, I can't let you take them." ā
Victor's eyes widened in surprise and said, "Your Excellency the King of Hainan, what do you mean by this?" Are you trying to go against us French? ā
Chen Zhong walked up to Victor and said, "Mr. Ambassador, this king wants to ask you, if our people come to your country and kill people, what will you do?" ā
Victor looked at Chen Zhong suspiciously: "Deal with it according to the laws of our country!" ā
"Then I'll tell you that Gerry has broken the law and injured people in my country, and I have arrested them and imprisoned them!"
Victor stood up and said, "Your Excellency the King of Hainan, you have to think about it carefully, are you playing with fire?" Do you know the consequences of doing so? ā
Chen Zhong looked at Victor coldly and said, "Mr. Ambassador, do you know the consequences of threatening this king?" An hour ago, the Japanese envoy had just left, and three people came, two of whom stayed in Hainan forever, and one who had no right hand forever, how do you want to leave? ā
Victor looked at Chen Zhong in horror and said, "You are simply a tyrant!" You're going to pay for it! ā
Chen Zhong laughed and said, "Come on! See which one is easier to chop off from the hand of our French ambassador or the hand of the Japanese ambassador! ā
Victor immediately stood up and said with a forced smile: "Your Excellency the King of Hainan, I'm just joking, you are so humorous!" āć
