The Champs-Elysées in Paris is connected to the west of the Triumph Mén and the Place de la Concorde in the east. The book is updated in real time DU(5) 8.сΟm

Just at the west corner of the Place de la Concorde, this is a rare quiet section on the Champs-Elysées, and on the north street stands a three-storey building, which is very lively every day, and there are some young gentlemen and noble children who come and go, but it is clear that this is not the Pai duì frequented by the Parisian aristocracy, this is the headquarters of the Paris Jī Progressive Liberal Alliance.

The Liberal Alliance of the Jī Jin faction was a party that advocated a liberal economy and isolationist foreign policies, and in terms of colonial policy, out of the need to counter the current Jouferi cabinet, they also put forward their own political proposals, focusing on Africa, hoping to expand more colonies on the continent, and at the same time proposing to solve the problem of colonial confrontation through guò immigrants.

Of course, as the vanguard of the French political reforms, the Liberal Alliance advocated more industrial exports to solve the increasingly prominent economic crisis, and since 1982 has been the economic crisis that has emerged, the impact on France is particularly obvious, the steel industry with the construction of the railway bubble burst, the output value plummeted, and at the end of 1882 a large-scale strike movement broke out.

The year-long economic crisis caused the Jouferi cabinet to speed up its campaign against the colonies of Jiāo Tochina in the Far East, and at the same time made the Liberal Alliance, the party that proposed a series of strong reforms to French politics, the largest opposition party in France.

However, it is still not easy to achieve the political transition from the opposition party to the ruling party, and a very important factor in this is the political opportunity, and the current cabinet is a complete opportunist, who once seized on the scandal of the bribery case of the former cabinet of the Sarko cabinet to force the former cabinet to fall, thus gaining the opportunity to form a cabinet.

However, it seems that God is fair to everyone, and at this moment the chairman of the Liberty Alliance, Clay Méng, received a gift from God, two days ago, a package marked as coming from London, England was delivered to him, which is indeed a wonderful thing, at this time, the British Empire and the French Republic are still in competition, which makes him doubt how to use the contents of this package.

However, after weighing it again, the message contained in this package really made him refuse, and he decided to immediately start attacking the ruling Jouferi cabinet. The next day, the newspaper Pravda de Paris, published an illustrated report that immediately caused an uproar throughout Paris and even in France*.

In the morning, in the palace on the Champs-Élysées, the current Prime Minister Jo Ferri had a face on his face all day, while Foreign Minister Shameraku was also silent on the side, holding the Paris Pravda newspaper that had just been published today.

Today's Jī Jin faction's newspaper published several defeats of the French expeditionary force in the Battle of Jiāo in North Vietnam after the Ruferi cabinet came to power, of course, the Joffrey cabinet will not announce these defeats in any form, only victory is announced to the outside world, which is also the consistent practice of the ruling party, after all, no one likes to be slapped in the face.

However, the first artillery bombardment of Shanxi City and the river crossing battle of the 7th Brigade outside Xuanguang City, with a total of nearly 2,000 casualties, the loss of a large number of supplies, and the capture of many French soldiers, these news have never been announced or mentioned in any way, and the soldiers killed and wounded at the time of defeat are included in the missing persons. ⑤???? Read the latest chapters of the book

Obviously, for a republic, these practices are clearly beyond the scope of the powers granted to the cabinet by the constitution, but Ru Feili naturally knows that these news alone cannot cause fatal damage to his cabinet government, but it is just a matter of effort.

Now, the details of these two battles, the losses of the Jiāo battle, and the casualties of the soldiers have been carefully listed, and the casualties have been thoroughly studied, and a large number of the dead who have been included in the missing list by the French government have been listed, which is even more embarrassing to the Jouferi cabinet.

The report also cited interviews and photographs of foreign journalists, including photographs of hundreds of French prisoners of war at work, which apparently caused a great uproar in society, which was contrary to the French heroism that the cabinet had been promoting. ,

Ruferi immediately put Shameraku in charge and reinterpreted the defeat mentioned in this newspaper, the current war in northern Vietnam, after all, the French ** team has a perfect advantage, and the more important thing is how this "Pravda" got these news and photos, especially the photos......

"Dear Shameraku, I would like you to assemble a special investigation team to investigate the origin of these messages and photographs, lest anyone deliberately distort the interpretation of the Republic's efforts in Jiāo Toe China in Parliament" Ruferi quickly made a decision to deal with it.

Shameraku was obviously preoccupied, "I'm not worried about today's newspaper, but about tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, our Far East Fleet was attacked by unknown forces just last month, but it is very likely that the Qing fleet, which caused damage to 6 main warships in Saigon Port, if this news leaks, I think the Minister of the Navy will take the blame and resign."

The Minister of the Navy, Kreber, is an absolute hawk within the republicans, and has always advocated a large-scale expansion of the navy, as the feuding British Empire, the total tonnage of the French navy is now less than half of that of the other side, and the name of the second in the world is obviously a bit embroidered huā pillow, and more importantly, the overall strength of French industry is undoubtedly far from that of the British.

Since France was defeated by Germany in 1871, the overall development direction is more focused on rebuilding a huge army to counter the rise of the German Empire, so the pace of construction of the French navy is far behind the British, for this reason, at the beginning of his tenure, Kreber proposed a new 12 capital warships of the large naval plan, and got the approval of the cabinet, but the first point is to expand the colony of Jiāo Toe China, plunder more resources, so as to more favorable support for the large naval plan.

However, while the land war in Jiāo Zhichina was advancing all the way, the French Navy was full of bad luck, and it can even be said that it was defeated, which made the Minister of the Navy, Admiral Kreber, undoubtedly embarrassed, so he especially strengthened the combat effectiveness of the Far Eastern Jiāo Toe China Fleet and tried to defeat the enemy.

Soon, the hawkish general also came to the Bō Palace, he didn't care about today's newspaper, and he only learned about it after he came, but this red-eyed appearance that seemed to have not slept all night made Ru Feili also very surprised.

"General Kreber, you have also seen that this Senator Kréméng seems to be interested in our military operations in the Far East, and I hope that you will do your best to achieve several military victories at sea and on land to silence the noisy adults in the Senate" Joffrey looked very eagerly at the traditionally resolute Minister of the Navy, hoping for a definite assurance. The latest and fastest update of this book comes from du58.

However, Kreber's expression was very strange, he seemed to be trying hard to control his feelings, and then shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, you may be disappointed in your expectations for the navy, I just received a telegram from Saigon that the Far East Fleet was besieging the Chinese port of Keelung when it was attacking the Qing fleet."

As soon as these words came out, Ru Ferri and the foreign minister Shameraku were both taken aback, "This news...... When was it? ”

"I just received a telegram this morning, and if we calculate the time difference, it is estimated that there will be more accurate news tomorrow and the day after tomorrow...... Now we can only hope that Lieutenant General Guba can defeat the Qing ** team on land, in that case, we still have a chance to continue to obtain the Far East Jiāo Toe China."

The three powerful figures of the French Republic were staring at each other, and it was obvious that the situation in the Far East was about to change dramatically overnight, and the counterattack of the Jī Progressive faction was able to move so quickly, which made them feel a deep crisis. ——

The city of Beijing, the capital of the empire that was engaged in an inter-state war with France, was brewing a political storm that swept through the city for the same reason.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, it is not the Minister of Military Discipline who is discussing politics with the little emperor today, but Guangxu's biological father, Prince Alcohol Aixin Jueluo? Prince Yiyun and Li love Xinjueluo? Shi Duo, for the summons of the Queen Mother, the two iron-hat princes didn't know what they were doing in advance, and when they entered the palace and saw this posture, they figured out some flavors.

Since the change of the palace twenty years ago, after the Queen Mother took power, which of the big and small things in the court is missing the six princes, today the sun is out of the west, the Queen Mother did not let Prince Gong Yixin come, this thing can be figured out some flavors, plus the noisy war in the north of Vietnam, it seems that the Queen Mother is very dissatisfied with the handling of this affairs by the Military Aircraft Department. ,

Sure enough, after talking a little about idle things, Cixi changed her words, "Prince Alcohol, Prince Li, I have several excerpts here, all of them say that our Qing Dynasty's war in North Vietnam is too bad, isn't this all pointing to Prince Gong, saying that the Military Aircraft Department has made a mistake in employing people, and spends state-owned assets, our Qing Dynasty has been fighting in North Vietnam for almost two years, and the beginning of military salaries and ordnance has been used for tens of millions of taels, if the French are allowed to fight on the border of Guangxi."

The two iron-hat princes naturally understand that this matter is already a sure result, and the queen mother has been tired of Prince Gong's control of the military aircraft department and the prime minister's Yamén for more than 20 years, plus the yòu cause of this defeat, it seems that this major change in officialdom is inevitable Among these two princes, it is natural to respect Prince Alcohol, and Prince Li Shiduo has always had a reputation for generosity among the nobles.

This kind of generous words is also polite to say, if it is in the relatives and nobles, it is not a kind of gentleness, but no opinions, the kind that does what it says above, but his family is a hereditary iron hat king, and he has a background of marriage with the queen mother's family, and he is also powerful in this family.

And Prince Alcohol, that is Guangxu's father, and his wife is Cixi's sister, this kind of relationship, in exchange for others, has long been a powerful appearance, but although this prince is not a powerful figure, but for the art of power and strategy, it is also very thorough, and he follows the rules on weekdays and never exceeds the rules of the court.

Therefore, today Cixi will summon him to discuss such military affairs, you must know that this is to abolish the entire center of the empire at once, Prince Gong Yixun has been in power for the past 20 years, how many people have to be involved, that is, the relatives and nobles in the court, who has not been close to Prince Gong over the years

Now that the Queen Mother's mind has been decided, Prince Li Shiduo naturally will not have any objections, Prince Yiyun is a person who understands, and there is also a difference between the severity of this board, listening to the Queen Mother's meaning at this time, there is no way to understand whether this matter should be heavily responsible or lightly punished, although he belongs to the kind of low-key in the relatives, but this does not mean that he does not care about the government.

Although the war in northern Vietnam was newly defeated, but the military aircraft department was quite fruitful last year, and it was included in the Ryukyus, which can be regarded as the merit of opening up the territory, although the queen mother did not think much of this overseas enclave, but the scenery on the head of this name, that is the queen mother's favorite, plus a war with the Japanese country, a flying and domineering Japanese country also paid 1 million taels, which is a rare victory in the past, and the land of northern Vietnam, although there are big defeats, but there are also small victories, this has not been issued an edict to deal with those officials who are out of duty......

"Queen Mother, Prince Gong is walking with the Prime Minister at the Military Aircraft Department, and it is also quite hard work, if it is dealt with like this, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the courtiers, and the war situation in the north of Vietnam is now undecided, if the Military Discipline Department is in a big move, I am afraid of changes" After saying this, Prince Alcohol looked up at Cixi behind the curtain, which naturally did not see anything, he just made a statement.

Cixi is already in power now, and she doesn't have to deal with Prince Gong Yixun, but now the spearhead of the court is directly aimed at the Military Aircraft Department, and Yixin has controlled the Military Aircraft Department and the Prime Minister Yamén for more than 20 years.

This time, Huang Ren played the impeachment of Prince Gong, saying that he took power and accepted bribes, and was arrogant, originally these were small things, and the power of Prince Gong was not all released by her, the queen mother, and the silver he received, for Cixi, this is a trivial matter, as long as she handles the affairs of the queen mother, what kind of thing is it to receive some respects.

However, now is an opportunity to reshuffle the forces in the entire court, so that she, the queen mother, will have a more peaceful life, this is the key point in the key, as for the war in northern Vietnam and the impeachment of the courtiers, it is all a disguise, the guise of Chiguoguo, but the meaning of Prince Alcohol is also very clear, after all, the military aircraft department has made great achievements in the past two years......

There was silence behind the curtain for a long time, and Cixi said lazily: "Prince Alcohol, then you have to deal with this matter, Prince Gong's side, don't walk in military discipline and the Prime Minister's Yamén, other things are fine."

The next day, Prince Gong came out, saying that he was sick and in urgent need of recuperation, and asked him to resign as the chief minister of the military aircraft department and the prime minister.

Cixi responded to her own request for such an obedient person, and naturally praised her very politely, and rewarded some things in the palace, and immediately approved Prince Gong's request, and then ordered Prince Li Shiduo to serve as the chief minister of military aircraft, and at the same time selected the two red men in front of Cixi Xu Gengshen and Sun Yuwen of the Ministry of Industry to be on duty in the military aircraft department. ,

And the four heavenly kings under Prince Gong - Wu Yingdian University Shi Baojun, the Ministry of Officials Shangshu Li Hongzao, the Ministry of War Shangshu Jinglian, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Weng Tongxiao, to these people, Cixi was not polite at all, and directly issued an edict to exempt him from the military aircraft on duty, but there was no more disposal, after all, these people are all old ministers of the two dynasties, among which Li Hongzao and Weng Tongsu Ke are all in the name of the emperor.

And this time, the eye-catching thing is the appointment of the prime minister's minister of national affairs, which has always been done by the prince of the imperial court, but this time the prince of alcohol is unwilling to get involved in this affairs, so the imperial minister Yi Xuan, who often walks in front of Cixi in the palace, finally came to work, from a noble who manages the miscellaneous affairs of the palace to the important prime minister of the empire in one fell swoop.

The Queen Mother personally summoned Yi Xuan, so that he could not be lightly interrupted, and he had to discuss with Prince Alcohol, who had just jumped the dragon mén, was naturally grateful to Dade, and pointed to the sky to show some loyalty and so on to return to the county king's mansion, there was already a housekeeper to report, and dozens of adults had already sent people to send tribute, which made Yi Xuan, who had been walking in the inner court without any achievements, really feel the value of authority.

Take the gift list and look at it one by one, this is all the tribute sent by the relatives and nobles in the capital, the Beijing officials, I think they are all to seek some benefits, not enough of one of the gift lists but let it attract his attention again, but it is the tribute of Qin Kai, the governor of Guangdong, who came from afar, which makes him think of the young man who has a generous hand and a good smile, and a full house of handsome people, but this Qin governor does not despise himself at all, but he is very happy...... When the gift list was opened, the smiling face of the county prince became a little bigger. ——

Compared with the chūn style of the prince of the county, the feeling of the French major general Millet is best described in a modern word...... On one side is the sea, and on the other side is the flames.

After encountering an inexplicable attack, the flagship "Triumph" on which the French rear admiral was riding was not spared, and it is no wonder that the 4,700-ton ironclad ship in the port is the most eye-catching, if Miao Feng and 10 frogman attack teams can't even see this ship, it is absolutely blind.

After emergency repairs and emergency drainage, it has not been able to save the sinking speed of the "Triumph", which cannot be blamed on the French sailors' damage management technology is not in place, and the blame is to blame Miao Feng of the attack group, in the daytime battle, he can analyze the French warships one by one, and this large-tonnage ironclad ship has undoubtedly become his primary target.

This time, he personally pushed the sL-1 heavy underwater bomb from underwater, and personally installed it next to the power plant in the stern of the Triumph, even if he didn't sink the ship, it would be necessary to blow up the ship Obviously, he succeeded in doing it, the diameter of the bilge torn by the explosion reached 3 meters wide, and the turbulent sea water filled the rear cabin in just five minutes, and the hull was unbalanced and capsized from the road guide.

When they entered the port, they found anchor mines laid by the French and merchant ships anchored in the channel as barricades, but it would be a big joke to use these against them, but this thing would affect the final assault of their own fleet...... After the raid, he immediately passed the news on to the 601 ship.

Unexpectedly, Chen Mo of the 601 ship was obviously even crazier than his own, and he swaggered directly to the port channel, and then threw an anchor mine from the ship like an egg, and then slipped out and waited for the main force to assemble.
