Chapter 403: Dolls
The depreciation of the franc was completely unexpected for the American and British capital, which had long been poised to make a move, and they hoped that there would be problems with the franc, but they hoped that there would be trouble in Europe, not in the Far East, a land that they could not control at all.
They have their hands and eyes in the sky, they know all kinds of information in more detail than the country, they have already detected some Chinese capital entering Europe, and the target seems to be France, and when they think of the conflict in Vietnam, these people immediately think of a terrible situation.
The Chinese have also seen through their methods, and the Chinese are doing the same thing, you have the Franco-German conflict in your hands, China also holds a good card, ready to play, the first generation of the largest financial empire in the United States Morgan Sr. has died before the First World War, his son Morgan Jr. continues to take charge of this huge empire, with the great opportunity of the First World War, Morgan Jr. continues to expand the family business, and the entire financial empire is becoming stronger and stronger!
When he guessed that China might want to intervene in the issue of Fa Lang, after careful consideration, little Morgan was not ready to fight hard with Chinese capital, on the contrary, little Morgan realized that this was a good opportunity to establish friendly and cooperative relations with Chinese capital forces!
You must know that China has the largest population in the world, in other words, China has the largest potential market, if you can cooperate with China's local consortium, it will be another huge advance for the Morgan family's business, and the Chinese do get a good card now, if the Chinese blindly pull the hind legs, shearing wool will not become so easy!
Therefore, Morgan Jr. immediately contacted the Chinese side through secret channels, hoping that the two sides could exchange information on financial issues, there is no doubt that this is an invitation to share benefits, Chinese capital is far less powerful than the European and American capital consortiums, and China's actions are just to drink some soup, since the United States wants to cooperate, China cannot ask for it.
Now in charge of the operation of European capital is Zhu Shunchang, he is the first batch of graduates of the Department of Finance of Chongqing Business School, although he is not very old, but he has already shown an amazing talent for finance, and Wei Ruolan valued him This time he was sent to Europe to take charge of himself, and after reaching a cooperation agreement with the Morgan consortium, it is a huge benefit to relatively weak Chinese capital, but Zhu Shunchang also kept in mind Wei Ruolan's instructions, and these treacherous international financiers must be vigilant enough, otherwise they will be sold!
After a brief discussion, both sides agreed that it was still necessary to raise the franc to a high position so as to facilitate the next move, and immediately the British and American governments expressed their stance one after another, severely condemning the war acts of the Vietnam National Liberation League, believing that they were a provocation to the post-war international system and an act of sabotaging peace!
The Chinese side also followed suit by announcing that it would strictly inspect all passages along the Sino-Vietnamese border to prevent any strategic materials from flowing into the hands of the Vietnamese!
This statement of China, the United States and Britain is an excellent signal for France, France can concentrate on dealing with the Vietnamese, France has mobilized more than 17,000 soldiers at this time, of which more than 12,000 are Vietnamese, in order to ensure the loyalty of these Vietnamese soldiers, the French government will all their families as hostages, as long as they do not fight the front line, these family members will be executed by France!
Relying on this cruel method, the French finally gained the temporary loyalty of the Vietnamese soldiers, and the French army quickly increased its strength to Lang Son, and at this time Nguyen Ai Ai and others were besieging the last few French strongholds in Lang Son, these areas they had been fighting for three days, because there was not enough supply of artillery shells, they paid more than 3,000 casualties, but still did not finally conquer, and now it has reached the most critical moment. …,
Ruan Aiguo and others have found Lu Rongting several times, hoping that China can send the air force to fight the main battle, although Ruan Aiguo does not know much about military affairs, but he also often reads Chinese newspapers, and knows that the Chinese air force is a force with strong combat effectiveness, especially at this moment of attack, the French strongholds are in high places, the terrain is dangerous, if you attack from the ground, the losses will definitely be very heavy, if you launch an air attack from the air force, you can easily break through the position of the French army, but China has never let go on this issue, which also makes Ruan Aiguo a little annoyed.
"Mr. Advisor, our battle is related to the overall situation, all the Vietnamese are watching us, as long as we win a big victory, we will be able to shake the colonial order of the French, now we urgently need the support of the Chinese Air Force, you must help!"
"Mr. Ruan, the Chinese Air Force is China's regular army, and we have not declared war with France, how can we send it to fight?"
"Mr. Advisor, if the Chinese Air Force can't be dispatched, then you might as well provide us with some planes, as long as we have planes, we can defeat the French!" This time it was Vo Xuan Sheng, the head of the Vietnamese army, who was also Nguyen Aiguo's most important associate and now held the post of commander-in-chief.
Lu Rongting frowned at this time, his eyelids raised slightly, and said: "There is no war between China and France, your current identity is a militia, an army organized by the Vietnamese spontaneously, and it is already China's greatest mercy that you can equip artillery, if you are allowed to equip it with an airplane, then it will not become a regular army, what will the world think of China, and how will you explain to the great powers, haven't you people considered China's situation?" ”
"Mr. Advisor, France's control of Vietnam is tantamount to a direct threat to China's security, and now we are using our own sacrifices to drive out the French, aren't we helping China, shouldn't China vigorously support us, shouldn't we bear some international pressure for our efforts?"
After Wu Chunsheng said these words, Lu Rongting's face instantly became gloomy, like a black pot bottom, these Vietnamese are really a group of white-eyed wolves that are not well raised, China contributes money, efforts, and weapons, although they are used as chess pieces, but these things are too bastards, they don't have any gratitude, but they are helping China, it is really shameless to the extreme!
Lu Rongting still didn't know that this group of beasts in later generations not only thought so, but also turned around and bit the Chinese, and played the game to the extreme, at this time Lu Rongting understood more and more that Qiao Yu repeatedly told not to have any pity for these Vietnamese, never expect these bastards to be grateful to Dade.
Lu Rongting's face was full of anger at this time, and Ruan Aiguo suddenly knew that his partner had said the wrong thing, so he immediately glared at Wu Chunsheng fiercely, and bowed to Lu Rongting again and again.
"Mr. Consultant, Chunsheng made a slip of the tongue for a while, please don't misunderstand, we are grateful for China's kindness as always, and we just hope that China can understand our difficulties!"
Lu Rongting waved his hand and said sharply, "What Wu Chunsheng said is not wrong at all, this is your mentality, I see that your war is still relatively smooth, the Chinese side can withdraw, and you will have a way to liberate Vietnam!" After Lu Rongting finished speaking, he left the reception room directly, leaving Ruan Aiguo and Wu Chunsheng there alone!
At this time, Wu Chunsheng's face was still full of anger, "Comrade patriot, China as a great power has no good intentions at all, we should get in touch with Soviet Russia, only Soviet Russia is really for the liberation of all mankind, and help is also the most selfless, I think we should ask Mr. Borodin as our adviser, and then ask Russian officers to command us to fight!" ”…,
"Comrade Wu Chunsheng, since you said that the country is a great power, then why is Russia not, and Russia is far away, if you want to liberate Vietnam, you can't do without the support of China, this is our base camp!"
Nguyen Aiguo still has to be more sober than Wu Xuan Sheng, if you want to liberate Vietnam, you can't do without China, and now Lu Rong Dinh has doubted their loyalty, and things have become very troublesome, the Vietnamese army is now short of bullets and shells, and the French reinforcements may hit Lang Son at any time, if China does not act quickly, I am afraid that this operation will be a complete failure.
Wu Chunsheng's mind also calmed down at this time, although he hated the Chinese from the bottom of his heart, but now there is no China, but relying on the Vietnamese really can't play ah!
"Patriotic comrade, if I personally lead the soldiers to attack, as long as we can take Lang Mountain, we will have a foothold, and we don't have to look at the faces of the Chinese!"
Ruan Aiguo thought about it again and again, so he had to nod his head in agreement, in fact, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to become a puppet controlled by China, Wu Xuan Sheng rushed towards the last three strongholds of the French with the most elite soldiers in the Vietnamese army, and Wu Xuan Sheng also brought the few mortars he had!
After a few days of musk fighting, Lang Son was already full of corpses at this time, both Vietnamese and French, all of them had no time to clean up, and the temperature here in Lang Son was very high, and there was an unpleasant smell of corpses on the battlefield, which pierced the nostrils, and this bad environment greatly affected both warring sides.
The only remaining French troops even have a feeling of returning to the unbearable First World War, fortunately, the French army has been informed at this time, the Chinese side did not participate in the war, they are only facing some Vietnamese militia, although the French will be skeptical, but reinforcements will soon arrive, these Vietnamese army's firepower is indeed not very sufficient, so they also have the courage to persevere!
A series of accurate shots on a hill killed three Vietnamese in an instant, one of them was also lifted off his head, and his brain flowed to the ground, Wu Chunsheng also felt a burst of fear at this time, as long as he deviated a little more, he would be finished, but at this time he couldn't care about being afraid, he could only try to cover his subordinates to attack with mortars, a series of six shells, fell into the French pillbox, and the pillbox was shrouded in the sound of explosions in an instant, and suddenly the pillbox was blown up, and the French inside were also killed instantly.
On this battlefield, life has finally become equal, whether it is the arrogant French colonialists, or these Vietnamese soldiers have to face death the same, no one can dodge, Wu Xuan Sheng conquered two strongholds in a row, and he was about to achieve the final victory, at this time there was a sudden roar in the sky, it turned out that the French plane finally rushed over, and the rapid fire of the airborne machine gun formed a fire snake, which just hit more than a dozen Vietnamese soldiers head-on to pieces, and the French Air Force entered the war, Finally secured the last stronghold.
Then a large number of French reinforcements marched into Lang Son and launched a counterattack against the Vietnamese, and just when victory was in sight, the Vietnamese were defeated! ),
