Chapter 1471 is tolerable or intolerable

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the press conference center shared by the Syrian Government Pacification Office and An Jiajun at the foot of Cuiping Mountain was in a warm atmosphere. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In response to the irresponsible remarks made by the French government and the colonial government of French Annam, the command of the An Jiajun resolutely held a press conference, and An Yi, who had not appeared in public for a long time, also attended the meeting, which aroused the popularity of Chinese and foreign reporters, and more than 200 reporters crowded the news center.

The meeting was presided over by Lieutenant General Li Zhide, director of the Organization Department of the General Political Department, who gave a brief account of the massacre of innocent Chinese citizens by the French army in French Annan, and then relayed the full text of the press conference between the French Government and the French Annan Government, and then invited An Yi, leader of the An Jiajun, to speak.

An Yi looked into the microphone, his eyes swept over the faces of the familiar or unfamiliar Chinese and foreign reporters in the audience, and his expression was unusually serious.

"As we all know, France is the main signatory and permanent member of the League of Nations, which is an international organization whose purpose is to guarantee international peace, promote international cooperation and safeguard the rights and interests of mankind, and bears the responsibility and obligation to uphold international justice and justice. Today, however, we regret to see that such a so-called country upholding justice has obviously deviated in its attitude towards the massacre of civilians by its own army, and it seems that as long as a country has the strength and the support of guns, it can do whatever it wants, and it will not be blamed for making mistakes.

"Well, since France says so, let's take a look at what civilized things France, a civilized country, has done. In the Middle Ages, France was a small country because many of its territories were owned by the British. The two British dynasties at that time, the Normandy and the Anjou, were feudal lords from France, and thus owned a large number of territories in mainland France. Although successive French kings tried their best to deprive the British crown of their possessions in France, the British crown still occupied a large amount of land in France. As a result, the Hundred Years' War broke out between England and France, and France was almost destroyed by the British, which led to the emergence of heroes such as Joan of Arc. But such a hero, the hero who saved the whole of France, was betrayed by the French, who burned a singing and weeping girl alive in the square of the city of Rouen, and threw her ashes into the Seine. When she died, she was not even twenty years old, which may be the so-called axiom and justice in the bones of the French.

"After the Hundred Years' War, the French government launched the Religious Wars in order to solve the obstruction of the central power by the local aristocracy and religion. When Henry, Prince of Navarre, son of Antony, the son of the Protestant leader, married Princess Margaret, and a large number of Protestants rushed to Paris, with the connivance of the French government, the Protestants were slaughtered in a brutal manner, with merchants killing their rivals, elders being killed by juniors who tried to take over the property, and men and women who had changed their minds killing their partners, as long as the slain was a Protestant. Law and order were gone, and the perpetrators acted recklessly, and tens of thousands of Protestants were killed overnight, known as the 'St. Bartholomew Massacre'. Subsequently, many cities across the country followed suit, and about 100,000 Protestants died under the butcher's knife, perhaps this was also a reasonable and legal means for the French.

"After the dark ages, we are fortunate to see that at the end of the eighteenth century, the slogans of liberty, equality, and fraternity from Paris resounded throughout Europe and the world, and the world-famous French Revolution began a stormy process, which proclaimed the values of freedom, equality, democracy, and human rights with an unparalleled force. The national independence revolution in Germany and other countries. It can be said that the French pioneered the world and deserves the respect of all people in the world. ”

Speaking of this, An Yi took a deep breath: "I am still shocked that the Declaration of Human Rights was put forward a hundred and fifty years ago, and its first paragraph reads, 'As far as rights are concerned, all men are born free and equal, and always have been.'" Nothing can be established except for social distinctions which arise in the public interest', and paragraph 2 'The purpose of any political union is to protect the natural and unshakable rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression', and paragraph 3 'The whole principle of sovereignty rests chiefly on the people. No group, no individual, may exercise rights not expressly granted by sovereignty';...... Paragraph 17, 'Private property is sacrosanct except when it is manifestly necessary for a lawfully recognized public necessity and on conditions of fair and advance compensation, no one shall be deprived of his property'.

"Fellow journalists, friends with conscience, morality, perseverance and a sense of justice, ask yourself, has France done all this in French Annan now? The colonial regime did not give any power to its citizens, and the people under its rule did not know what freedom and equality were, and not only could they be deprived of their property at any time, but they could not even maintain even a minimum of life. And what could be more saddish, ironically, when the government of the first country in the world to issue the Declaration of Human Rights was the result of this?

"Well, let's look at what the countries that have issued the Declaration of Human Rights have done to be fair and just. In the early days, France attempted to use Brazil as its colony, and invaded Rio de Janeiro and Saint-Louis twice, but due to the vigilance and deterrence of France by Portugal and Spain, the French invasion in both places and Florida in North America failed. Beginning in the 17th century, France established Quebec City in North America, and it became a fur-trading colony, known as present-day Canada. Later, France extended its influence to the St. Lawrence River Valley. As its influence grew, France used these new territories for trade. By the early eighteenth century, French colonies in North America had reached as far as Louisiana and the Mississippi River. In addition, it made huge profits from the African slave trade in the Americas. At the same time as the expansion of North America, the French established the first slave trading post in Senegal in West Africa, and the French East India Company also established trading tours in the East, such as Kindernagar, Bangladesh, and Puducherry, India, mainly engaged in opium smuggling.

"In the mid-eighteenth century, a series of conflicts unfolded between France and England, including the War of the Austrian Succession, the Seven Years' War, the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolution, and so on. France was forced to cede its colonies in India due to its defeat in the War of the Austrian Succession, and lost most of its colonies in the New World in the Seven Years' War, but its mediation during the American Revolutionary War allowed her to recover some of its colonies in the Americas. In addition, after the outbreak of the French Revolution at the end of the eighteenth century, Napoleon's gradual seizure of power accelerated France's foreign aggression and expansion.

After the end of the Napoleonic Wars, many French colonies were assigned to the British, notably French Guiana on the north coast of South America, and trading posts in Senegal, West Africa. In the early 19th century, France invaded Algeria and attempted to colonize Mexico as a protectorate, but in the Sino-French War, France was able to obtain colonies in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from the Chinese government.

After the Sino-French War, France's colonial rule in Southeast Asia was ensured, and French Annam was established, and it later began to expand its influence in North Africa, establishing a sphere of influence in Tunisia and Libya. In Central Africa, France gradually brought under its control Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Benin, Niger, Chad, the Central African Republic, and the Republic of the Congo, as well as the narrow coast of East Africa around Djibouti. At the same time, France established colonies in the South Pacific, including New Caledonia, the islands around French Polynesia, and the New Highbury Islands. This vast colonial empire reached its peak after the war in Europe. It received the territories of the former Ottoman Turkish Empire, as well as German-owned Cameroon and Togo, and later established French West Africa in West Africa.

"What did you discover from this series of events? Ridiculous! A country that claims to be fair, just, and democratic has launched wars of aggression everywhere and wantonly slaughtered the people of other countries! This shows that France has never been just, nor does it pay attention to democracy, human rights and freedoms, it only pays lip service to these things, but its essence is to rely on the guns in its hands to oppress and enslave the people of all countries in the world everywhere, wishing that the whole world is their slaves, and only France is the master, and this is the truest and ugliest face of the aggressor. ”

The audience whispered, many Chinese reporters, usually just feel that the great powers are extremely powerful, but they don't know how this strength came about, at this moment listening to An Yi's narration, this is to understand that the original from Britain, France, the United States, Japan, Russia and other countries after the Opium War to invade China is not accidental, let alone to help China quickly embark on the road of prosperity and strength, the idea of wanting to quickly improve the industrial base by becoming a colony of the great powers and then embark on the road of national rejuvenation is extremely naïve and ridiculous, the essence of colonialism is plunder, Absolutely not to bring liberal democratic power to the people of the colonies, but only to the repressive rule of terror and ruthless killing.

The French reporters got up several times to protest An Yi's sharp anti-French remarks, but in the end they all sat down in frustration, because An Yi's statements were irrefutable facts and there was nothing to attack.

"Let's take another look at how the French invaded and ruled Annam. After the Sino-British Opium War, the French invaded Da Nang for the first time in February 1843 and made a comeback in 1845 under a contract with China, the suzerainty of Annam, to obtain some rights for France in Annam. At the time, the French press praised this adventure as 'for the honor of the country'.

In 1858, China was forced to sign the Treaty of Tientsin under the guns of Britain and France, and France used this as a basis for a formal invasion of Annam, landing in Da Nang in 1858 and occupying Saigon in February 1859. In 1860, the Second Opium War broke out, the British and French forces occupied Beijing, the capital of China, and the control of Annam weakened, so France increased its aggression against Annam, and in 1862, the "Saigon Draft" was passed, occupying the three eastern provinces of Cochinchina, and then in July 1863, Cambodia, a subject country of China, was coerced and lured to sign a treaty, officially penetrating its tentacles into Cambodia.

"In 1868, a merchant group entered the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau from the Red River Plain, and then from Yunnan to Hankou via the Yangtze River, obtaining the most valuable information on the waterway connecting Yunnan with the Red River in Tokyo. China's Taiping Rebellion further weakened the Qing government's control over Annam, but the French Colonel Garnier, a French colonel who advocated aggression, was killed by our Black Flag Army in 1873, delaying the French conquest of Tokyo by ten years. In 1882, the French captured Hanoi and then Nam Dinh, but the French commander was again killed by the Black Flag Army. In 1883, Kube led a powerful expeditionary force to Annam for the third time, at this time it happened that the king of Annam died, and there was a dynastic crisis in the Hue court, Kube obtained the de jure initiative by attacking the Hue court, and then attacked Hanoi, and on August 25 of that year, he signed the "Armand Entente" aimed at turning the Hue court into its colony, but this move was strongly opposed by the suzerainty China, and the Chinese government pointed out: Annam is a subject state of China, and China has all rights and interests in Annam, as a local government, Any treaty signed by Annan with France is null and void. Subsequently, the Qing court increased its troops on a large scale, and the two sides fought for several years, and the flames of war burned from Annam to Fujian and Taiwan in China. The Ferry Cabinet fell. Sadly, however, the Chinese government did not know about the great changes that had taken place in France, thousands of miles away, and instead of taking advantage of the victory, it signed the Second Treaty of Tientsin with France, and gradually lost its rights and interests in Annam. In October 1887, the French government issued a series of decrees to form a federation of Cambodia, Cochinchina, Annam and Tokyo, and the highest executive body of the federation appointed a civilian governor with jurisdiction over five ministers: the commander of the garrison, the commander of the navy, the chief of general affairs, the director of justice, and the director of the customs monopoly. At the same time, there was an ambush governor in Cochinchina, a general garrison officer in Annam and Tokyo, and a general garrison officer in Cambodia. However, it must be noted that from the beginning to the end, China did not relinquish its suzerainty over Annam.

"Paul. After he became governor-general, he unified the various departments of the civil service, reorganized the administration of Tokyo, and organized a government in the newly occupied Laos, and Laos, one of China's vassals, became an 'autonomous protectorate' under the administration of the supreme garrison responsible to the governor of Annam. In Annam, there was a hierarchy of the court and officials, but at the same time there was an administrative apparatus established by France, and the real management power was actually in the hands of the French garrison. During the First World War, France forcibly conscripted 100,000 Annamites to serve in the European army, because they received the influence of freedom and democracy in France, and launched an uprising after returning home, but the uprising failed, nearly 40,000 Annamite died under the butcher's knife of the colonial government, and the king of Annam, the Restoration Emperor, and his father were exiled to Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean.

"In the late twenties, a large-scale armed uprising was launched in Annam, and the French once again wielded their butcher's knives and slaughtered tens of thousands of Annamite people, and the heads of revolutionaries who resisted Annam's tyranny were hung on the heads of the cities of Annam. At the same time, the colonial government imposed strict regulations that any action, even a march with bare hands, would be stopped by force, and massacres had become the favorite deterrent of the French who claimed to be only democratic......"

"I protest...... General An, the massacre you are talking about is not such a thing at all....... You are pure slander! A French journalist stood up with a red face.

An Yi smiled faintly, instructed the staff, and took out a thick stack of photos, which were all taken secretly by Xu Ziliang in the past 20 years, and many French soldiers were shocked by the rape, murder, and live burial of the people of Annan, one of the photos, a Chinese girl raised her head, pulling the leg of a French soldier, as if she was pouring out something, and the pit next to her was already full of people, and the following text was narrated like this, 'Uncle, wait a minute, please bury me shallower, okay?' Otherwise, I'm afraid my parents won't find me,' and many Chinese reporters turned red in their eyes and glared angrily at the French reporters.

The French reporter looked at one photo after another, and his face turned from white to blue, and then from blue to gray, and then he sat down weakly in his seat.

"Do you know why the territory of French Annam is so large, and now with the addition of ethnic minorities such as the Jing, Chinese, Khmer, and Lao, the population is less than 20 million? The island of Java, which is much smaller than that, has 50 million people. This is all a good thing done by the French colonists! Now we understand what is going on in France, which has always proclaimed justice, right? ”

"Protect the people of Annam!"

"Expelling the odious French colonial regime!"

"Take back all China's rights and interests in Annam!"

"Protect all the descendants of the Chinese nation, including the Chinese, the Jing, and the old!"

"General An, you must uphold justice and justice for the Chinese!"

“......”

An Yi stood up, waved his hand, and waited for the audience to be quiet before he said with a solemn face: "Now it is up to the Hue National Independent Government, they truly represent the true will of the people of Annam!" I can say here that if they need me, I can always help them...... But if even the Annan people themselves are not willing to help themselves, I can't help it! After all, I, An Yi, don't disdain to be an aggressor in other people's mouths.

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you all seen the progress, civilization and prosperity of Syria? Here, high-rise buildings are lined up, modern factories are lined up one after another, trams, buses, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles shuttle back and forth on the streets, almost every street is full of shops, urban residents have basically popularized electric lights, telephones, and radios, and as long as they wish, they can eat meat for meals, and every household in the countryside has access to electric lights, and they have listened to the radio installed by the Syrian government in every household, and they can also eat two or three meals of meat in a week, and their material and spiritual civilizations have been fully satisfied. I thought that it had already reached a standard of living that only advanced European countries could achieve. Including Belarusians, Chinese, Jews and people from Europe and the United States, they live in harmony and help each other on an equal footing.

"I, An Yi, can pat my chest and say, with the profits made from these industries now, I can do nothing, and I can live like a king, and I don't have to go to the muddy waters of Annan at all! However, seeing the suffering of my compatriots and the shattering of the old mountains and rivers of the motherland, I only care about my personal enjoyment, how can I bear it? Whenever I see the photos of people being oppressed and slaughtered, I wonder why there is such an ugly colonial government in the world, and why can't these people who originally belonged to China really enjoy freedom, peace and democracy? Why should the people of Annam be poor and hungry all their lives, instead of living a life of abundance and food like the people under my rule?

"Now, all the decision-making power is in the hands of the Hue Provisional Government, because they represent the interests of the people of Annam and continue the legitimate rule of our Qing Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, Han Dynasty and Qin Dynasty over Annam. If they choose China, then I will not shirk my righteousness, shoulder the heavy responsibility entrusted to me by history, and bravely shoulder the burden. On the contrary, I will continue to be my rich man, entertain my wife and children, and be at ease, so as to avoid a large number of casualties among the officers and soldiers of my Anjia Army due to the battle. ”

The foreign reporters in the audience were in an uproar, and the British reporter Dale Horan stood up: "General An, once the Hue Provisional Government chooses to return to China, does it mean that Your Excellency's government will declare war on the French Republic?" And then declare war on the British Empire, an ally of the French Republic? ”

An Yi looked serious: "Declaration of war? No! Never! It seems to me that it is not a war at all, but a just cause of liberation! As a Chinese, is there anything wrong with saving your people from the persecution of colonialism and allowing everyone to live a good life? The Syrian government will never declare war on France, because the French people are innocent, and the hateful are only politicians and those colonists who suck the blood from Annam. Of course, it is too early to talk about this, after all, the decision is in the hands of the national government of Hue. ”

French journalist Miss Jeanne looked eager: "General An, Annan's rights and interests belong to France, which is an important part of the Versailles system and a conventional norm for international relations. ”

"The Versailles system?"

An Yi pretended to be puzzled: "Does this international norm exist?" I remember that Austria, an independent state recognized by the Versailles system, has been annexed by Germany, right? Now it seems that Germany is about to reasonably and legally incorporate the Sudetenland region of Slovak in the Czech Republic into German territory!

Also, the Versailles Treaty seems to have confirmed China's territorial sovereignty integrity, but when Japan invaded Northeast China, why didn't anyone mention the Versailles system? Later, Japan attacked North China, Shanghai, and Zhejiang, and no one did anything about Japan, which destroyed the Versailles system. By the way, just today, the Dutch army on the island of Java has surrendered, and nearly two million square kilometers of land in the entire Lanyin Islands have been taken by Japan. ”

An Yi's counterattack made Miss Jenny speechless, and also made the European and American reporters at the press conference shut up all of a sudden, only the Chinese reporters applauded vigorously, and their palms were red and numb, and they didn't notice it.

At this moment, the stirring hearts of China are burning, and the flames gathered are enough to incinerate all the forces in the world that dare to stop them.
