The events in the basement of Norodom Palace shocked the world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Saigon is not Tokyo, this city known as the "Paris of the East" has a well-developed media industry, and Norodom Palace has always been the object of media attention, so it was not the French side that first discovered the anomaly of Norodom Palace, but a reporter from the New York Times in the United States first discovered the anomaly of Norodom Palace.

Liu Shuangxi and their efficiency is very high, only half an hour, Liu Shuangxi and they completed the task, and then about 30 large and small boxes were carried onto the pre-prepared car, from Norodom Palace all the way to the dock unimpeded, even the car with the boxes were on a British flag freighter, and then disappeared without a trace.

It's really shameless, and when it comes, you have to throw a black pot at the British.

By the time the report got from the colonial barracks, it was already an hour later.

In full view of the media around the world, the French carried out more than 60 corpses from Norodom Palace and stacked them neatly on the lawn in front of Norodom Palace.

So the next day the whole world knew that the French had planted a big heel in Saigon, the old French colonial nest in the Far East.

This is tantamount to a slap in the face of Mangin and the French government.

Before Mangin could speak harshly, he was dismissed by the French government on the spot, and at the same time, the French government said that it would investigate this matter to the end, and France would not tolerate it no matter who or country was involved. The French government even regarded this incident as an act of war, and once the relevant responsible persons were identified, the French government would not hesitate to fight in order to protect the honor of the French government.

In fact, everyone, including the French government, knew that the Lanfang people did this, although the last ship was flying the British flag, although the vehicles were from a wealthy American businessman.

But what about knowing?

Even the British had to choose a defensive position in the face of Lan Fang's strength in Asia, and the French could only tolerate Lan Fang in the face of it.

The reason for this incident is that the French do not act first, and they do not save them when they see death, but they fall into the ground, so don't blame the Lanfang government for not giving face to the French, even if the French are trying to find a way back, they can only find opportunities after the Cairo Conference, after all, in the Cairo Conference, France and Lanfang still have common interests to defend.

Of course, not everyone has the big picture in mind.

Someone in the French parliament suggested that they should join forces with the British to launch a counterattack against Lanfang in Asia, otherwise sooner or later, France would lose French Indochina.

Lan Fang's strength in this incident is really shocking, especially in Saigon, Lan Fang's agents showed their infiltration ability is simply a leisurely walk, Lan Fang people have arrested the person responsible for the accident in public many times, and even stripped people naked and hung on the cross on the pier in full view, Saigon has simply become the backyard of Lan Fang people, which is unacceptable to many French people.

However, what some people didn't expect was that I am afraid that everyone ignored a problem, the current French Congress is not the previous French Congress, and the current speaker of the Congress is Pierre Foch, which is Qin Zhiyuan's eldest brother, so the congressman who put forward this proposal took the initiative to resign the next day, and then there was no more, and no one raised similar issues again.

Lan Fang's strength is not only reflected in the fact that he dares to act against the French, but also to the extent that the French suffer a loss, and the French have to take the initiative to show goodwill.

Just three days after the "Norodom Palace" incident, Paul Renaud, the minister of the French colony who was attending a meeting in Cairo, left Cairo and urgently went to Lanfang to meet Qin Zhiyuan.

Paul Renault, although this man is also surnamed Renault, but he has nothing to do with Louis Renault, Paul Renault is a lawyer, a long-time member of the French Parliament, after the World War, Paul Renault first served in the Ministry of Finance during the presidency of de Chanell, and after Millerand became president, Paul Renault served as Minister of the Colonies.

Paul Reynaud is representing France at the Cairo Conference and will be France's next Governor General in French Indochina.

From Bastian to Leothai to Mantin, the experience of these governors fully shows that if you want to not make a mistake in the position of governor of French Indochina, then you must have a good relationship with Lan Fang, so it is reasonable and reasonable that Paul Renaud must first go to Qin Zhiyuan to "worship the dock", compared to the Cairo Conference is really not very important.

When Paul Renault arrived in Lanfang, it was already early July, and Qin Zhiyuan received Paul Renaud at the Lanfang Palace.

"Your Majesty, you have really made us very passive in doing so, and I believe that Mr. Millerand has already telegraphed to you, and Your Majesty sincerely hopes that if there is another similar incident, we can take the initiative to communicate, so that we can solve the problem in a way that is acceptable to all of us." In the face of Qin Zhiyuan, Paul Renault did not talk nonsense and expressed his suggestions straightforwardly.

The current degree of scientific and technological development is still slightly insufficient, and it is unrealistic for Qin Zhiyuan to talk to Millerand on the phone, but it is no problem to contact him by telegram.

Millerand did communicate with Qin Zhiyuan about this matter by telegram, Millerand and Qin Zhiyuan have the same opinion, this matter Lan Fang and France are at fault, France is at fault first, and Lan Fang's subsequent retaliation is too intense, so Lan Fang wants to give the French government some compensation, and this matter has been revealed.

However, since this incident has happened, it is worthless that it cannot happen, and Qin Zhiyuan and Millerand both intend to sign a memorandum to determine the future behavior of Lan Fang and France, and avoid similar incidents from happening again as much as possible.

An important task of Paul Renault's trip is to sign this memorandum with Lan Fang, and it is estimated that Paul Renault got a lot of advice from Pierre and them before leaving, so Paul Renault was very polite when he saw Qin Zhiyuan again.

"Of course, I also hope that Lanfang and France were once brothers, and I really regret that this happened. We have precedents for cooperation in many areas, and even some major achievements related to military security, we will share them with France, and if the French government wants to get information about helicopters, there is no need to take this approach, which is the most stupid choice, and it is the darkness and greed of some people that cause this result. Qin Zhiyuan was not polite, and directly threw the pot to the French government.

What Qin Zhiyuan said used to be true, Lan Fang and France do cooperate in many aspects, and the military cooperation is even closer, transport aircraft, oxygen torpedoes, corpsion-class battleships, and even radars, these things Lan Fang has shared with France to a certain extent after they were developed.

The reason why it is said to be "once" is because those things happened when Lan Fang and France were still allies, and the current situation is of course different, since France dissolved the alliance with Lan Fang, Lan Fang has closed the door to France for military cooperation, otherwise the French would not have taken risks this time.

"You are right, Your Majesty also hopes that a new page will be opened in our relations, Lanfang and France should maintain friendly relations, and I must explain to you that when the French Congress discussed the dissolution of the alliance with Lanfang, His Majesty voted against it." Paul Renault ignored Qin Zhiyuan's accusations, and the topic changed quickly.

Lawyer, and politician at the same time, both professions must be shameless enough, Paul Renault has two positions, and the degree of shamelessness is the same as Qin Zhiyuan's.

"That's good, now let's talk about the transfer of information." Qin Zhiyuan also moved in, and the pace was faster than Paul Renault.

"Transfer-" Paul Renault blinked his little eyes with an innocent expression.

"Yes, it's a transfer, do you want to get Lanfang's technology in helicopters without paying anything?" Qin Zhiyuan is also innocent.

To say that Paul Renault's appearance is still very distinctive, especially Paul Renault has a mustache similar to Hitler, which impresses Qin Zhiyuan. Of course, when you look at it this way, in fact, Paul Reynaud still pretends to be innocent, to paraphrase a 21st century Internet phrase: a little stupid and cute.

Qin Zhiyuan is not bad, Qin Zhiyuan has experienced a lot of similar business negotiations, so when it comes to pretending to be stupid, Qin Zhiyuan is also a good player.

"Uh--Your Majesty thinks that the innocent lives in the basement of the Norodom Palace have represented the contribution of France, and Your Majesty must do something for those innocent people--They all have families, but now they are all in tatters, and the French government has done a lot to appease the families of those innocent lives, and you cannot ignore all this, Your Majesty." Paul Reynaud didn't want to pay, not a single child.

"How can it be innocent? All I can say is that no one is innocent in this matter, and if anyone is innocent, our poor pilot who just crashed and then innocently broke his neck is innocent. No one after that is innocent, because they are already involved in the incident, so no one is immune. Qin Zhiyuan insisted that if he didn't peel off the skin of the French, he would be sorry for the efforts of Lanfang's scientific research workers and the two pilots who sacrificed.

"So—Your Majesty, how much do you think you need?" Paul Renault knows Qin Zhiyuan's character, if he doesn't give something, it would be wishful thinking to take something from Qin Zhiyuan.

"A billion Lanfang coins!" Qin Zhiyuan's lion opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, you know, that can't be." Paul Renaud fainted.

"That's because you don't understand the value of helicopters, let me tell you this, this is an invention that can change the world, whether in the military field or in the civilian field, it has a very wide range of applications, and the price is not high, relative to the market for helicopters." Qin Zhiyuan did not budge.

Compared to the value of the helicopter, the price of a billion Lanfang coins is indeed not high, and it is even very favorable.

It's a pity that the French don't think so, the French always do, they resist all new things, they never invest in new things, and then they always spend a lot of money to buy ready-made technology.
