It was a miracle in the history of warfare that 1,200 soldiers withstood a siege of 50,000 men and killed 37,000 of them in two hours of fighting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not just Magnum who is silent, within a week after the "Manantenina Massacre", the whole world knows what happened in Manantenina, so Lanfang was besieged by a new round of public opinion.

Westerners are standard only for state officials to set fires and not for ordinary people to light lamps, they can slaughter Indians with impunity, they can sell black slaves shamelessly, and find all kinds of necessary and justifiable excuses to justify it, if the Orientals want to do such things, then they will definitely be criticized by them.

In this round of public opinion turmoil, Lan Fang did not respond officially, but the "Daily News" sorted out all kinds of black history in the West since the beginning of the Age of Discovery, and published them all over the world, and even printed and gave away free magazines for free.

This public opinion turmoil also reflects a problem, that the Western society has finally begun to face up to the combat effectiveness of the Lanfang Army.

In fact, as early as the world war, the Foreign Legion, which was mainly composed of Chinese, had already shown this kind of combat effectiveness, but to be honest, it was not really taken seriously by Western countries. Even if the Foreign Legion turned into the Lanfang Army after the war, Western countries still did not pay much attention to the combat effectiveness of the Lanfang Army.

One thing must be named, although Lanfang and the Republic of China are two countries, Lanfang still inherits traditional Chinese culture, and the traditional Confucian culture of the Chinese, whether it is "royal Taoism" or "loyalty, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith", is to promote "being kind to others", and there has never been an idea about cultivating aggression.

It's like a seven-year-old child, even though he has a weapon in his hand that can destroy the world, no one will think that it is a threat, because it is one thing to have power, and it is another thing to use it wisely.

The "Manantenina Massacre" confirms at least one thing, when the Lanfang Army is under threat, the Lanfang Army can be as ruthless as Westerners, without the slightest mercy and bottom line, the Lanfang Army has modern weapons, and is very good at using them, when needed, the Lanfang Army will show determination and leave no room, and can even be described as "inhumane".

For Westerners, this is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing, today the Lanfang Army can massacre the Malagasy people in Manantenina, then tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or a certain day, when the Lanfang Army faces the Westerners, the Lanfang Army will not be soft at all.

This is the most important thing, and the Lanfang Army has this ability.

After the World War, many people thought that the Lanfang Army was the strongest army in the world, in fact, this point has always been controversial, because the Lanfang Army was not ruthless enough in many cases, but after the "Manantenina Massacre", the Lanfang Army has already established the title of "the world's first army", and no one dares to compete with it anymore.

Want to compete?

Very good, first send 1,200 people to slaughter 37,000 people to try, if the troops who carry out the order can not be soft, and can stand after the killing, then it can be regarded as having the qualification to compete with the Lanfang army.

Of course, Westerners are also good at one thing, if they can't eat grapes, they say that grapes are sour, they may not be able to prove that their army is stronger than Lan Fang's army, but at least they can prove that their mouth cannon is stronger than Lan Fang's.

As soon as Qin Zhiyuan went out in London, there were always countless protesting citizens on both sides of the road holding signs like "murderer" and "butcher" protesting against Qin Zhiyuan.

It's not bad, at least in Qin Zhiyuan's opinion.

Those who protested at least did not hold signs such as "The Sick Man of East Asia" and "Yellow-skinned Monkey", which made Qin Zhiyuan very pleased.

The prestige is really killed!

Britain is the number one power in the world, and although the name now seems a bit unworthy of the name, and a little less glamorous than the United States, at least the British think so.

In the face of the British who feel good about themselves, Qin Zhiyuan still attaches enough importance to it, so Qin Zhiyuan's delegation to visit the UK this time has more than 160 people, covering various fields such as economy, military, politics, culture, etc., and wants to have an all-round exchange with the British.

In the face of the rapid rise of Lan Fang, the British did not dare to be careless, the British raised the specifications of the reception of the Lan Fang delegation to the highest, no matter what Qin Zhiyuan wanted to do, even if it was a slip after dinner, he was accompanied by King George V or Prime Minister Lloyd George.

Speaking of Lloyd George is also a tragedy, during the world war, Lloyd George was pushed to the throne of British Prime Minister at the most dangerous time, but after leading Britain to victory, Lloyd George did not gain the prestige that matched the credit, but because of the imbalance in the post-war reconciliation of the interests of all parties, Lloyd George was criticized, and in the current British Senate and House of Representatives, there is no shortage of voices calling for Lloyd George to step down.

Fortunately, Lloyd George still has the trust of King George V, so at least for now, Lloyd George is no problem as Prime Minister, but it is foreseeable that Lloyd George will not be elected when the UK elections begin again in a year's time.

In the process of dealing with Lloyd George, Qin Zhiyuan still maintained enough respect for Lloyd George, which is much stronger than many British generals during the World War, at least Qin Zhiyuan did not talk about "dog cubs" like Haig.

Lloyd George obviously felt that Qin Zhiyuan's respect was useful, so Lloyd George and Qin Zhiyuan's personal relationship has progressed very quickly in the past few days, although the various cooperation negotiations between Britain and Lanfang have not yet reached any results, but this does not affect the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Lloyd George.

Therefore, Lloyd George and Qin Zhiyuan now talk more casually, less politicians and more frankness between friends.

"The Lanfang Army is in the limelight this time, doesn't your navy have an opinion? How do you balance the two? Lloyd George with a wine glass was interested.

Listen, it's all obvious that Lloyd George was puzzled by the military's problems.

Lloyd George was a politician who did not think about problems from the perspective of the navy or the army, but was accustomed to thinking from the perspective of the overall situation, so that the generals of the army would feel neglected when dealing with the problems of the navy or the army.

Qin Zhiyuan is different, Qin Zhiyuan himself is from the army, and he will consider the problem more from the perspective of the army, while Lan Fang's navy has developed from a bunch of submarines and destroyers to a huge navy with three battleships and six seaplane carriers, and the Lan Fang Navy has not yet had the strength to put forward more requirements, even if the existing equipment is digested, it is estimated that it will take several years.

The two battleships "Nagato" and "Mutsu", which Lan Fang acquired from Japan, have now been renamed "Vladivostok" and "Lan Fang", "Vladivostok" is the flagship of the Vladivostok fleet, and "Lan Fang" is the flagship of the Cam Ranh Bay fleet. Armed with 406 mm guns and with a displacement of 45,000 tons, these two battleships are currently the two most powerful battleships in the world, one class larger than the largest American battleship "Maryland" and about the same as the largest British battlecruiser "Hood".

"There is no need for balance, the relationship between them is coordinated by the military department, and there is a lawsuit that cannot be fought by me." Qin Zhiyuan thought about it, and handed over all the things that offended people to Qin Zhisheng, and acted as an arbiter himself.

The place where Qin Zhiyuan and Lloyd George spoke was the garden of Buckingham Palace, where Qin Zhiyuan and Jolie lived during their visit to the United Kingdom.

When he arrived in London, Qin Zhiyuan found that the air pollution level in Paris was quite good, and London was really serious.

In Paris, if there is a slight breeze on a sunny day, you can occasionally see the color of the sky, although it is always gray, but it is much better than London not seeing the sun all year round. In Qin Zhiyuan's view, living in London is like living in a fairyland, Nima doesn't say that he can't see his fingers, the car has to turn on the headlights when driving in broad daylight, and the speed is always not raised, not to mention the narrow and crooked streets of London, even if the streets are widened ten times, it is estimated that the car will not run 30 yards.

This also has benefits, at least a lot less car accidents.

Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan's favorite place to stay in London is the garden of Buckingham Palace, where there is a glass cover to block the intrusion of polluted air, and Qin De can still be a little cheerful here.

Today's Qin Zhiyuan is more sad, the Queen of England invited Julie to have afternoon tea, and Qin De handed it over to Qin Zhiyuan to bring, so even if Lloyd George visited, Qin Zhiyuan had to hold Qin De to receive him.

Lloyd George didn't feel any rudeness, and teased Qin De when they first met.

It's a pity that Qin De is not interested in the old man with elm bark on his face, and he is not even interested in perfunctory, which makes Lloyd George feel quite faceless.

Lloyd George is also well-informed, and he will definitely not be as knowledgeable as a child, so this does not affect the communication between Lloyd George and Qin Zhiyuan.

"Your navy already has two of the most powerful warships in the world, and there is one more under construction in France, which will be launched next year, and Lan Fang's newest two have already begun to lay keels, what else is there to dissatisfaction with?" Lloyd George's words are a bit rich.

Not long after the founding of Lanfang, he began to jointly develop the "Legion-class" battleship with France, and now two years have passed, and now it is finally time to harvest.

Lan Fang's "Legion-class" battleships are planned to be built four, two equipped for the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet, two for the Vladivostok Fleet, and one for the Ningbei Port Fleet, and if these four "Legion-class" battleships enter service, Lanfang will have eight battleships.

The most important thing is that Lan Fang's eight battleships, even the longest "Ningbei", have not been in service for more than ten years, and they are all cutting-edge warships.
