Chapter 773: Joint Troops
Of course, it is not so simple to send troops to China, there are a lot of affairs to be coordinated, although China is poor and weak, but after all, it is still an empire, a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, not to mention not dead yet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Spanish Prime Minister Ramon and England Prime Minister Duke Bill all came to Paris to discuss countermeasures with French Prime Minister Gramont.
"Duke Bit, how do you think we should deal with it this time?"
The three of them had just sat down in the conference room when Duke Gramont asked.
Duke Bit said hatefully: "Duke Gramont, this Chinese will not remember to eat, last time we burned the Old Summer Palace, it seems that the lesson for them is not deep enough, this time we must give them a more ruthless one!" We Europa people cannot let the Chinese insult wantonly, one Europa person is more precious than a thousand Chinese! ”
"Not bad!"
Duke Ramón shouted, "Our Spanish military adviser Gonzalez will soon die in vain, and if you want the Chinese to compensate, without three or five million taels of silver, this matter will definitely not be over!" Be sure to give the Chinese some color and see! ”
Gramont nodded and said, "Yes, it's just that how do we force the Chinese to surrender?" Is it because of the killing and wounding of the Spaniards and the French? I'm afraid that the crime is not enough, after all, they will say that it is a mistake, they are just at war with Japan, no one would have thought that there would be citizens of Britain, France and Spain among them, it is a big deal to lose some silver, three or five million taels, that is not to think about it, it is absolutely impossible to give so much, the Chinese are not so confused, that Guo Ye is not easy to mess with, he is very proficient in international affairs, we can't get over. ”
Duke Bit said in a dark voice: "This is not enough, but there is also Japan!" The Chinese caused Japan to pay the price of thousands of casualties in one breath because of the accidental bombing of artillery shells, and also extorted more than one million taels of silver from the Japanese, which no country can tolerate! They are naked aggression! ”
"Well, did Japan declare war on the Chinese, and it was still fighting on its own territory, the Japanese could fire artillery anywhere in their own territory, no one could interfere, who let their Chinese missions run to Japanese soil?" They deserve it, and as friends, we must stand up and uphold justice for Japan! Didn't the Chinese general squeeze Japan with hundreds of Chinese and American casualties to squeeze 1 million taels of silver, let's return the favor in the other way, the Japanese casualties were no less than 4,000, let's demand compensation from China according to 6,000 people, the same demand, 500 taels per person, hum, how much silver is in total? ”
Ramon sneered.
6,000 casualties, one person claims 500 taels, that's 30 million taels! Thirty million taels of silver!
"Moreover, if we wantonly insult France, England and Spain, we will also claim compensation from the Chinese, and each country will pay one million taels of silver!" That's the price China has to pay! ”
Ramon seems to be very proud of the idea he came up with, 30 million taels of silver, plus 3 million taels of silver, a total of 33 million taels of silver! That's enough for three countries to make a fortune!
The three of them all had **** smiles on their faces, and their eyes were shining, as if the compensation had already been paid.
"Haha!"
Gramont laughed and said, "Yes, that's it, three million taels of silver!" We can't leave the Japanese in vain, leave them 100,000 taels, and the rest will be all for us to pay for the game! ”
The three countries divided more than 30 million taels of silver equally, which is a lot of money, even if it is the current England, the annual fiscal income is only tens of millions of pounds, more than 10 million taels of silver, and it can definitely top the financial income of England for a month, which is an astronomical amount!
"And that arrogant Chinese general, that kid is even more special than Guo Ye, the Chinese government must hand over this person and let our three countries deal with it!"
Duke Bit said fiercely, there is no other reason, the insult that He Tengjiao added to Brown is too great, and indirectly insults the whole of England, it is tolerable, absolutely unbearable!
"Duke Bit, this matter, I see that this is settled, but the Chinese will definitely not give in easily, that Guo Ye has always been tough, and China is now in civil strife, the elites of the various departments are no longer held back by the traitorous party, they can fight at any time, we can't easily look at it, if we want to come, we must use the power of thunder to directly suppress China, so that they feel irresistible pressure!"
Duke Ramon said in a deep voice.
"That's nature!"
Duke Bit raised his voice, "To send troops, naturally there must be enough military pressure for the Chinese to submit, we must exclude a strong enough military force, and our three countries can determine the share of the compensation due according to the proportion of the military forces dispatched!" ”
"In proportion to the troops?"
Gramont and Ramon were slightly dissatisfied, because the British Empire had the strongest military power in Asia, and the amount of reparations was determined according to the proportion of troops dispatched, so it was naturally England who took advantage.
"Duke Bit, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Granmon narrowed his eyes and replied in a deep voice.
"What's inappropriate?"
Bit said with a smile: "In this matter, naturally whoever has the most strength will get more benefits, don't you want to share the benefits if you don't send troops?" Where is such a beautiful thing? And in order to strengthen our presence, I suggest that the Netherlands and Prussia could be added to the mix......"
"Prussia?"
Gramondon's face sank, and he replied, "Duke Pit, forget it, Prussia?" We don't need them yet, is there any other country in the world that can cope with the military pressure of our three countries? A weak China is just that! Okay, according to your opinion, according to the proportion of troops, if we want to have the certainty of success, we must dispatch more than 30,000 troops, I suggest that our three countries can each send 10,000 troops, and then warships......"
"Duke Gramont, 30,000 troops want to take China? Have you forgotten how many troops we used in the last big war? At that time, that Guo Ye had just debuted, and the troops we used had already exceeded 30,000, and this time you also used 30,000 people, you can't help but look down on China too much, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, I thought that the army must be more than 50,000 people, less than 50,000 people, I'm afraid it's very hanging......",
Gramont was shocked, thinking about it, at that time, Guo Ye was only a general soldier in Baoding Town, with no more than 3,000 troops, and the cavalry of the helper Seng Greenqin caused great pressure on the British and French forces, let alone now? That Guo Ye has become the governor of Liangjiang, and his troops are said to have reached 50,000! (To be continued.) )
