In the history of China, there has never been a shortage of "good deeds" who are specifically fond of and good at "digging ancestral graves", and the same is true in the Celestial Empire. Ten years later, when millions of Red Army officers and soldiers of the Celestial Empire were fighting in the east and west for the peace of the motherland and world peace, and spilling their blood on the battlefield, there were many "good deeds" who had money in their pockets and had a lot of oil and water in their stomachs and dried stools for the sake of the peace of the motherland and world peace. In fact, it was a great conspiracy hatched privately between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government and the French government. They firmly believe that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom signed a secret agreement with the French government to betray Vietnam, in other words, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government secretly instructed France to do so in order to take revenge and clean up the disobedient Nguyen Phuc Dinh who "insisted on taking the road of independence".
Their reasoning was that after the landing of the overwhelmingly superior French army in Toulon, they only shouted joyfully and shouted fiercely, but in fact did not really fight hard. Moreover, the rumors that circulated in the local area at the beginning that the so-called French ** people were reckless, burning, killing, and looting all kinds of evil around Toulon, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of innocent civilians in the scourge of war are not entirely true. According to the research of these "good deeds", in fact, the vast majority of the more than 30,000 people who died at that time were useless soldiers in Vietnam. It is only because the Vietnamese soldiers are so poor that many of them are dressed indistinguishably from the common people, so they are mistaken for the dead people. It is precisely because of this that they are even more suspicious, because they do not believe that the French soldiers of that time could be so kind.
Another thing that excites them even more was that just after Ruyori's fleet had already been launched in Toulon. Although the Taiping government did not seem to have ceased warnings and protests on the surface, it secretly did not stop the supply of arms to France for a moment. Again, this is not the usual style of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government.
What are these "good deeds" with other intentions shouting for like this, more people in the Celestial Empire are bright-eyed. **Starter** Horn Ruma always has to call the ground, but this crop still has to be planted. In 1887, the Celestial Empire declassified most of the secret documents from twenty years earlier, including Annan.
Whether from the archives made public by the government of the Celestial Empire. Nor from France and the records and recollections of the parties involved do not contain any reference to any secret dealings between the two countries in relation to Annan. According to the archives of the French Imperial Government at that time. The huge compensation of 1 million taels of silver in Vietnam was a great diplomatic and military victory for the French Empire, and it was especially outstanding for the Empire's efficient intelligence system. It was they who enabled the Empire to fully grasp and take advantage of the contradictions between Nguyen Phuc Trần and his government, as well as the various weaknesses of Nguyen Phuc Dinh himself, and made the most precise time difference, so that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Government had no way to deal with it in a timely manner.
Don't say a gun. The asking price of a single Q bomb is enough for a family of three to stay at home without moving and live comfortably for a good day. In addition, the annex to the agreement between the parties also clearly stipulates that payment will be made first. Afterpaid. At the same time, the agreed penalty for breach of contract is even more staggering. The Celestial Empire is poor, and there are so many people in the Celestial Empire waiting to be fed. It doesn't matter which line is to pull money. Besides, no matter how bold and bullish the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government are, they will never dare to break the contract.
Of course, perhaps there is anything in the Vietnam issue that has really been annihilated, and that is only the two most direct parties at this time, Lin Haifeng and Napoleon Bonaparte, who are dumb and eat dumplings. However, from Lin Haifeng's face now, there is no hint of any invitation from Napoleon Bonaparte.
"Of course, we will not forget our previous promises. (3-q-Chinese-first-fa) will continue to do its best to help you and your empire build the most powerful armed force in Europe. Lin Haifeng refilled a pot of Q cigarettes and lit them slowly and methodically. Leaning back comfortably in the chair again, he took a sweet breath, then looked at Napoleon Bonaparte and smiled, "But...... As for the rest, take your time, take your time, because ...... Because it's not my business alone after all. ”
As a result of Lin Haifeng's trip, the specific provisions of the "Sino-French Comprehensive Military Cooperation Alliance" were the first to be released. French newspapers published and reprinted this historic news for the first time, and made public some of the terms. Immediately afterwards, the cooperation agreement between the government of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the government of the French Empire to jointly develop the latest ironclad warships on a large scale has burned the whole of France, which has been boiling over for a long time. In the words of the newspaper, from the initial verbal military mutual trust to the written military cooperation alliance, and then to such a large-scale actual military cooperation, it indicates that the friendship between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government and the French Empire has entered an unprecedented peak, and it has also led the whole world to a new era, and it is also a powerful guarantee for maintaining peace in Europe and Asia and even the world.
At the crowded press conference, important ministers of the French Imperial government took the stage one after another to show people the bright future of the empire. Among them, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Fulder, was particularly eye-catching, who described to the audience the various kinds of raw materials that would be required to build such a new type of ironclad warship, and told the people with a detailed count of how glorious this huge project was for the French Empire......
Encouraged by this exciting news, the French stock exchanges began to flourish even more than ever before. Driven by the strong momentum of steel, shipbuilding bonds and stocks, a stock is soaring, and it is really to the point that the people who hold stocks and bonds in their hands are so happy that they can't close their mouths, and those who were confused and shorted in the early stage, and now they have become naked, are beating their chests and feet, and they want to live and die. In those days, the large headlines that appeared most often on the front pages of almost all French newspapers were often either the Chinese "cow" or the Chinese "hair", and almost everyone could casually pronounce the fairly standard Chinese pronunciation of these two characters. The major bankers concentrated in Paris are not to be outdone, and a few days ago Q just wanted to tighten the mouth of the money bag Q, and now they are also loosening and sending it again. As a result, people who are staking land, staking estates, or staking whatever they can, are eager to cash in and then crowd into the exchange. And this vigorous "revolution of speculation" in France undoubtedly continued to add fuel to the fire of speculation that had not yet been extinguished by the surrounding powers.
Of course, there will be no shortage of scolding for this kind of military cooperation between China and France. These scolds are heard in France, and even more so outside, especially in England. But what is strange is that the scolding on the other side of the strait is actually all from various tabloids, and those big newspapers that the government can control and semi-control are either saying something innocuous or simply pretending to be deaf and dumb. In this scolding, a London tabloid scolded particularly harshly, "This is the shameful submission of so-called democracy to **, this is the regression of human civilization, and this is the loss of humanity." Both the East and the West, both governments that once started with the so-called Great People's Revolution, will lead the people of the world into a terrible dark abyss. ”
There was also an article in the newspaper, which was very painful, "I was very reluctant, but very regretful, to see the fact that a man who had been enslaved and oppressed by the colonizers, and finally changed his nation with his great power, quickly forgot his bloody past...... I can't believe that the bright red blood of revolutionaries always flows in vain......"
When Lin Haifeng saw this article, signed by Friedrich von Engels, in a room of the Celestial Empire's legation in France, sitting opposite him was the reporter of the Seine Times that he wanted to see so much but was afraid to see for some reason, and his great guest Carlos, who respected him the most, that is, the light in his heart, the great intellectual giant, Karl Marx.
The guest who was under forty years old was tall, and his originally clear face looked thinner because of the fact that Hu Q had become less numerous, perhaps because of the habit of writing for many years and malnutrition, which had caused his shoulders to bend slightly prematurely. But in his bright eyes, sunken into their sockets, radiated a radiant of wisdom, alertness, and confidence.
From the disguised guest in front of him, Lin Haifeng almost didn't see the portrait he was once very familiar with and the shadow of the great man in the photo. While he was extremely pleased with the strength of his European station in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
Looking at this great standard-bearer and fighter who not only had to fight against political and ideological opponents, but also against the harsh environment and difficult conditions, Lin Haifeng couldn't help but start cursing viciously in his stomach again.
In fact, he himself knew that such a curse was completely wronged by Aihua.
After Ai Hua learned that His Royal Highness's good friend in London was in dire straits, in order to support His Royal Highness's distant good friend, Ai Hua sent someone to send money directly to the door in a hurry, but unfortunately the other party did not accept the money from unknown sources at all. In desperation, he had no choice but to send people to repeatedly beg His Highness, a stubborn good friend, to write a column for the newspaper he founded. What he didn't expect was that His Highness's friends were extremely disgusted with the gray color of his newspaper, and obviously did not want to be with him, so he remained unmoved. Even when Ai Hua later continued to send people to simply identify themselves, His Highness's good friend still smiled kindly, "You have already helped me a lot. Now that I am living well, I sincerely thank your government for me, and the Chinese people after the war need your help even more. "At this point, what else can Aihua do? He can only sigh, it is really like things gather and people are divided into groups!
