The clearance of the Baliem Valley lasted almost half a month. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huang Li and the others initially underestimated the duration of the purge and were not fully prepared, but in fact, when they arrived in the Baliem Valley, they learned that the Asmats here were not all gathered together, but scattered in all corners of the Baliem Valley, which greatly increased the difficulty of the purge.

However, there is no doubt about the advantages of hot weapons over primitive cold weapons, Huang Li and they spend most of their time on the road, and what they really use for combat is not long.

Considering that the aborigines were too brutal, Qin Zhiyuan instructed Lance to downplay the matter in the Daily News, no longer hyping up the matter, but to shift his attention to the withdrawal of troops from Europe.

The Foreign Legion fought in Europe for three years, from September 1916 to August 1919, and now it was finally time to withdraw from Europe.

The Bolsheviks and the coalition government signed a peace agreement in Paris, agreeing to end the war with the areas currently occupied as the armistice demarcation line.

In current Russia, the Bolsheviks occupy a vast territory north of Moscow, including St. Petersburg.

Yes, although it looks much smaller than the original Russia, the current Bolshevik-controlled area is still about 4 million square kilometers.

The coalition government controlled the remaining territory south and west of Moscow, and Kolchak controlled an even larger area, 10 million square kilometers.

Compare it with later maps of Russia, and you will find that there are nearly 3 million square kilometers missing, and those that are missing are the areas under Lanfang's control.

Although the peace agreement has been signed, Europe still has no sense of security, so Kolchak and Denikin and Yudenich also broke out contradictions, the interests within the coalition government can not be reconciled, so the land controlled by the coalition government is divided again, Kolchak occupies the territory west of Moscow, including most of Siberia, Denikin occupies the relatively developed areas south of Moscow, Yudenich is the worst, he lost almost all his troops in the civil war, and only got a pitiful land in Estonia and Latvia.

As a result, what is now Russia was dismembered into five parts, namely the Bolshevik Burussia, Kolchak's coalition government, Denikin's South Russia, Yudenich's Estonia, and the Northern Territory controlled by Lanfang.

It looks like Russia's civil war is largely over.

But everyone knows that this is over temporarily, and after a while, no matter whether either side feels that it has regained its strength, then the war will start again.

However, that has nothing to do with the Foreign Legion, which will be withdrawn from Russia in batches to the Far East along the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Yes, in the Far East, after the war stopped, some of the Foreign Legion chose to retire, and the remaining about 60,000 people will return to the Far East and will be stationed there from then on.

The ownership of the Far East is still undecided, and the Japanese, the British, and the Americans all demand that Lan Fang return the Northern Territory to the Republic of China.

Lan Fang asked for temporary trusteeship by Lan Fang under the pretext that the Republic of China had not yet formed a unified government, and the French were noncommittal about this.

Noncommittal?

That's not going to work!

France is an ally of Lan Fang, and the two countries must be aligned on the issue of territory.

So Ambassador Lu Zhengxiang went to the French Prime Minister's Office to meet with Clemenceau and wanted to communicate with Clemenceau on the Northern Territory matter.

"The main resistance came from the Japanese, and they had good reasons, if Lan Fang continued to control the Far East, it would be a great threat to Japan's security, and the British and Americans agreed with the Japanese, to be honest...... Your territory is now so big that even I can't help but be jealous. "Clemenceau's half-truth.

Lu Zhengxiang and Clemenceau are also acquaintances, because of the relationship between Lan Fang and France, the relationship between the two is also good, Clemenceau did not push back when facing Lu Zhengxiang, but pointed to the core of the problem.

If you look at the map, if Lanfang continues to keep the northern Xinjiang region, then Japan will be caught in the middle of Lanfang's north-south attack, and the Japanese will certainly have reason to express their dissatisfaction.

And the position of the Americans and the British is also understandable, because the Americans and the British now also have territorial disputes with Lanfang, regarding the American Philippines and British Malaya.

"No, no, no, in fact, this is not the case, Lan Fang has no ambition for Japan, Lan Fang just wants to seek justice for her ancestors, and does not mean to target Japan......" Lu Zhengxiang first stated his position.

Of course, Clemenceau will not believe Lu Zhengxiang's nonsense, and anyone will say high-sounding words. So Clemenceau just spread his hands and made a "helpless" gesture and asked Lu Zhengxiang to continue.

"In fact, the Japanese currently enjoy the vast majority of rights in the northeastern region of the Republic of China, if Lan Fang returns the Far East to the Republic of China...... So Mr. Prime Minister, you can imagine, who will ultimately control there? In my opinion, it is definitely not the Republic of China, because the Republic of China does not have that ability at present. "Lu Zhengxiang wants to bring disaster to the east.

In fact, now the Japanese do not call the British and Americans to see each other, the Japanese have seized a lot of rights from the Republic of China with the help of the world war, and these rights are exclusive, which will definitely affect the interests of the British and the Americans, the British and Americans are not unaware of this, but the two powers are the lesser of harms, when Japan and Lanfang are compared, the British and Americans obviously think that Lanfang is a greater threat, so they will stand on the side of the Japanese.

Well, if you compare the performance of the Lanfang army and the Japanese army in the world war, the two are indeed not on the same level.

"As for our territory, Mr. Prime Minister, a strong Lanfang is better than a strong Russia, and Lanfang is also what France wants, isn't it?" Lu Zhengxiang's grasp of the mentality of the French is still relatively accurate.

Truth be told, when Lan Fang began to rebel against the Dutch colonial government, almost everyone didn't realize that things would turn out like this.

Think about it, Lan Fang originally only occupied the Dutch East Indies, but almost in the blink of an eye, Papua New Guinea, which was entrusted to the Australians by the British, also became Lan Fang's territory, including the entire Solomon Islands, and now about 300 square kilometers of the Far East, Lan Fang's rise caught everyone off guard, so that it was terrifying.

Because of this, perhaps both the British and the Americans are now regretting their chests, knowing that the Dutch's performance was so unbearable, why should they leave such a large territory to Lan Fang......

The French may not regret this, but jealousy is certainly inevitable.

By the way, the Dutch, who had lost control of the East Indies, did not give up, and just a few days ago, the Queen of the Netherlands announced a shipbuilding plan to build eight battleships in three years and then return to Southeast Asia.

Hehe, what do you say about this plan, no matter whether the Dutch have enough financial resources to support this plan, even if it is completed, the Dutch may not be able to return to Southeast Asia as they wish.

Lan Fang was not idle after the founding of the country, and at present, in the shipyard of Marseille, the first "Legion-class" battleship has begun to lay keels, and the progress is much faster than that of the Dutch.

"You're right, I want Lan Fang to be strong, but I prefer that Qin can develop the country in another way, rather than in the aggressive way it is now. You must know that the current Lan Fang has caused unease among the British and Americans, and if it continues, I am afraid that the consequences will not be optimistic, so Lloyd George and Wilson both feel a certain degree of threat, which you must understand, especially Qin. Clemenceau knew who was in charge of the current Lan Fang, so he closely followed Qin Zhiyuan.

Clemenceau and Qin Zhiyuan did not deal with each other for a day or two, and Clemenceau knew Qin Zhiyuan very well.

In Clemenceau's mind, if Lanfang is not contained, then Lanfang's territory will continue to expand, and one day, Lanfang will endanger the interests of France.

Come to think of it, French Indochina is not far from Lan Fong.

"George, I don't think you need to worry about this, and neither do the British and the Americans. We are just a bunch of outcasts, a bunch of poor people abandoned by the motherland, so please understand the uneasiness of our group. Perhaps at present, Lan Fang is indeed full of aggression, but this is certainly not the norm, the world war has just ended, no one wants to provoke another war, and there are currently millions of people who depend on Qin to survive, and Qin is under great pressure...... So Georges, now is the time when Lanfang needs the friendship of France, and please believe that Lanfang will return the favor to France, just as we did in the world war. "Lu Zhengxiang is both soft and hard.

Lu Zhengxiang's words were pitiful, but in fact he was accusing the French of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and vaguely pointed out that if France does not support Lan Fang now, then Lan Fang will reconsider the relationship with France.

This must be taken seriously by the French.

Perhaps Lan Fang's threat to the Japanese would make the French feel uneasy, but if France lost Lan Fang as an ally because of the Japanese, then the result was indeed more than worth the loss, and Clemenceau did not have long to make the right choice.

France has already lost Russia, a traditional ally, and if it loses Lanfang again, then France will be alone.

Think about it, if Lan Fang had thrown himself into Britain or remained neutral, then France would now be isolated, the Americans would be the "own sons" of the British, the Japanese would be the "godsons" of the British, and what would France have?

Kolchak's coalition government?

Don't be funny!

So at the League of Nations meeting the next day, France immediately changed its tone and resolutely supported Lan Fang's temporary administration of the Far East until the Republic of China formed a unified government.

In this way, Lan Fang's situation has greatly improved.

The current France is not yet the France completely occupied by the Germans, the French are now the victors, and the victors who won the world war as the main force, the British and Americans may ignore Lan Fang's opinion, but the French opinion must be taken seriously.

Of course, in order to make the British willingly give up Japan, Qin Zhiyuan also has a back-up plan.

At the same time, the Corsica research institute finally received good news, and after the tireless efforts of the chemical research institute, polyamide fiber was finally born, the first synthetic fiber to appear in the world, with the once widely known name "nylon".
