817 can't be forgotten
In mid-October, the new governor of French Indochina, Sulles Mantin, arrived in Saigon and began his years as governor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Speaking of which, the position of Governor of French Indochina is also considered a high-risk position in the French colonies, and in the last three or four years, Mangin has been the third candidate for Governor.
After arriving in Saigon, like the previous two governors, the first port to visit in Mangin was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lan Phuong.
France and Lan Fang have indeed dissolved their alliance, but this does not mean that the relationship between France and Lan Fang has broken down, after all, the two sides still have some origins, and if Man Jing wants to be comfortable in this position, he must have a good relationship with Lan Fang.
Manjing did have a bad reputation when he was a general, but this does not mean that Manjing is a fool, in fact, it is no less difficult to get out in the French military than in French politics, Manjing is a "smart butcher" even if he is a butcher, otherwise he will not be reused no matter who is on the stage.
However, Lan Fang's visit to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not give Manjing much confidence, and Lan Fang refused some of Manjing's requests, especially regarding the lease period of Cam Ranh Bay, and Lan Fang's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that there was no room for negotiation.
During Bastian's tenure as governor of French Indochina, Lan Fang leased Cam Ranh Bay from the French; During the reign of Leotay, this lend-lease agreement was further deepened, and the surrounding 100 square meters of land, including Cam Ranh Bay, were leased by Lan Fang, who was ready to build a huge military base in Cam Ranh Bay, including ancillary factories.
There are many restrictions on military bases, if it is a civilian base, then there is still something to do around Cam Ranh Bay, the emergence of a large base will greatly promote the economic development of the area around Cam Ranh Bay, and there is no possibility for military bases because of their own closedness.
With the advancement of the construction of Cam Ranh Bay port, this originally unnoticed port has become more and more important, especially the stationing of battleships, which has greatly improved the status of Cam Ranh Bay.
If Cam Ranh Bay can be recovered during his tenure, it will become the biggest shining point of Manjing's tenure.
Of course, Manjing didn't expect to be able to make Lan Fang give up this natural military port that had invested a lot of manpower and material resources when he first arrived, Manjing just wanted to test the tone, but he didn't expect Lan Fang's reaction to be so fierce.
Lan Fang directly sent Manjing "out of the country", and didn't even leave food, which was really a great shame.
Leaving Coconut City, Mangin turned around and went to the Lion City, the seat of the British Governor of Malaya, which was not very friendly to Lan Fang.
It is not surprising that since France has given up its alliance with Lanfang, it will definitely look for a new ally, although Britain is not the best choice, but because of its long-standing cooperative relationship and fighting side by side in the world war, Britain is barely one of France's best potential allies now.
But the most regrettable thing is that at present, Britain is the country most against France, in order to achieve the balance of the European continent, Britain has given up the friendship of fighting side by side in the world war, and began to curb the rise of France.
Upon his return to Saigon, Manking made the bold decision to cut three of the six existing divisions of Spell Indochina, leaving only two Annam divisions stationed in Siam and one garrison in Saigon.
Manjing's willingness was to completely wash away the brand of Lan Fang in the French Indochina army, because there were too many Annam people in the existing army who were inclined to Lan Fang, which was unacceptable to Manjing.
The intention was good, but Manjing's mistake was to rush it. Manjing had just entered French Indochina, and before his heels were firm, he began to carry out such a big move, and it was easy to pull the egg with too big a step.
At the end of October, after Mangin announced the withdrawal of troops, a riot broke out in the French Indochina 5th Division stationed in Loei Province, which quickly spread to the nearby province of Cho Lahsin.
Loei Nghi, located in the center of French control in Siam, is one of the main rice producing areas in Siam due to its flat terrain. The rebellion that broke out in Loei Province was not difficult to deal with, but after it spread to the province of Jiaolasin, the spark instantly became a prairie fire.
The northwestern part of the province is mountainous, which is one of the few mountainous terrains in the territory controlled by the French government, and it is not easy to find the rebels in the mountains. At this moment, Manjing made a stupid move, and at the same time as the troops were dispatched, Manjing openly announced that he would hang all the soldiers involved in the rebellion.
This decision provoked a fierce reaction from the Annamite people, not only did the previous rebellion not subside, but the 1st Division of French Indochina, which went to carry out the suppression mission, also rebelled, and for a time the rebellion area spread rapidly, not only in Siam, but also along the Savannakhet area to Laos, and there was a tendency to spread to Annam.
To this extent, if there is no Lan Fang's plan behind it, then no one will believe it.
The reaction of the French government was still fierce, and Millerand asked every day when the new Lanfang ambassador to France would arrive in Paris, and while he had not been able to answer for sure, Millerand's patience finally ran out.
Early November. On behalf of the French government, Millerand informed the local government of Corsica that the French government would send an official tax officer to the Corsica region.
The presence of a tax collector means that the French government can no longer tolerate the high degree of autonomy of Corsica, and is preparing to use force to regain control of Corsica.
Lanfang's reaction – or rather Corsica's – was much more drastic than Milleran had imagined.
Paris in November has entered the depths of winter, this winter is not as cold as during the World War, but the temperature is also unbearable, although it is afternoon, there are few people on the street, and occasionally people will pass by the street, and they are all wrapped in their coats and hats, and their mouths are still cursing the ghost weather.
Randy Sisi is not in a good mood today, as a special adviser to the French president, Randy Sisi owns a house on Clichy Avenue near the Moulin Rouge, which must be a cause for celebration, if the wind is good, Randy Sisi will prepare some wine and snacks and invite his neighbors to his home, but today, Randy Sisi is really not in this interest.
"Then I'll leave everything to you." In front of the door of 145 Chlicy Street, a gentleman in a tuxedo, trench coat, and top hat is bidding farewell to Randy Sissy.
"I'll try—" Randy Sissy, who was wearing only a cotton waistcoat, had a sad look on his face, trying to squeeze out a smile, but he couldn't.
"You just have to say something at the right time, and you don't even have to give your consent, as long as you don't object, Mr. Will will be your loyal friend." The gentleman in the top hat raised his hat in a gesture, then turned and whistled, and a car that had been waiting around the corner slid by.
Mr. Will, a banker who works for a Dutch consortium, is a big name for Randy Sisi, and it should be exciting to have a friendship with such a big man, but there really isn't much excitement on Randy Sisi's face.
Watching the car go away and turn the corner, Randy Sisi's wife, Jesse Isaac, came out of the house and put a trench coat on the blue bottom Sissy while her face was sad: "I said you can't give up on this?" Mr. Will is indeed powerful, but what do you think Mr. Will is relative to United Oil? ”
"You don't understand this, go back and cook your dinner." Randy Sissy didn't want to discuss this with his wife, and his expression was rather impatient.
"Damn it, you're crazy!" Jesse Isaac wiped his hands on his apron and looked at Randy Sissy with a worried gaze.
"Don't worry, my dear, of course I know that Mr. Renault is huge, and we don't mean to target Mr. Renault, but this kind of thing, it's like-" Randy Sisi was explaining when a violent explosion suddenly came from the corner of the street.
Randy Sissy's face changed dramatically, and he quickly ran to the door, looking out through the fence gate, and the location of the explosion was the corner of the street where the car had just turned.
"Look, see what you're going to face? Are we going to live in endless fear in the future? Jesse Isaac had collapsed in front of the door, and the explosion had caused Jesse Isaac to lose his mind.
"Calm down, the more times like this, the more we need to be calm!" Randy Sissy was sweating profusely, and his trench coat had fallen to the ground.
"Hey, are you okay?" A voice suddenly sounded not far away.
Randy Sissy turned his head to look at a strange young man, "Who are you?" "Randy Sisi is feeling a little bad.
"You don't need to know who I am, Mr. Randy Sissy, do you?" The young man grinned, his white teeth a little dazzling.
"Yes, I am, who are you?" Randy Sissey barely stood still, his hand gripped the fence door.
"You don't need to know who I am, Mr. Randy, I'm here to send a greeting from Lanfang." As he spoke, the young man suddenly pulled a pistol out of his bosom.
Woo - Woo Woo Woo!
Although it was a pistol, it still had enough lethality when shot at close range, and Randy Sissy was shot three times in the chest, the last three of which were all in the head, and the entire head was unrecognizable.
"Ahh
"Damn it, shut up!" The abusive young man had no intention of stopping, and the gun was aimed at Jesse Isaac and pulled the trigger.
"Tower!" The sound of running out of bullets was particularly pleasant to Jesse Isaac.
"Let's go!" A car stops in front of Randy's house with a hard brake, and an anxious voice in the car is urging.
"Hey, live well, your life is not easy to come by." The young man didn't have time to change the bullets, smiled at Jesse Isaac, turned around and got into the car.
Jesse Isaac will never forget that smile.
