Chapter 402: The Franc Crisis

Lang Son as the gateway to northern Vietnam, the status is very important, decades ago the squadron and the French in northern Vietnam to fight, as a result of the Manchu Qing fought an undefeated and humiliating war, let the French steal Vietnam, but it can also be seen that the French are indeed limited in military strength, even bullying the Manchu Qing is difficult.

Since then, France has indeed been very concerned about the Sino-Vietnamese border, and has made some efforts to operate, but since the end of World War I, France has become more and more worried about the security of Vietnam, the reason is very simple, that is, China has risen, and Vietnam is different from other places, it is connected to China's mountains and rivers, and has land borders.

Although China's navy cannot deter the French, but the army and air force can definitely give the French a headache, you must know that in World War I, the Chinese and French armies once fought side by side, the French are still very clear about China's combat effectiveness, although now France is known as the world's first army power, but the French really do not have the courage to confront the Chinese at China's doorstep!

But there are some things that the French can't dodge if they want to, and now that China is fighting for sovereignty with all its might, will it want to reclaim its former sphere of influence in the next step? You must know that Vietnam is a vassal country of China, and the French grabbed it by force, and now it is not the turn of the Chinese to grab it back!

In particular, the Battle of Northern Burma made the French even more frightened, they frequently increased troops in northern Vietnam, and strictly defended various passes, that is, they were worried that China would suddenly launch an attack on Vietnam, but with the end of the Washington Conference, the French also relaxed a lot, even if the Chinese were bold, they would not ignore the agreement between the powers, and always maintain a temporary peace first.

However, the French completely miscalculated, and at dawn on this day, an earth-shattering loud noise shocked all the French colonial troops who were still dreaming, and they were completely stunned by the sudden sound of artillery, and they did not know what was wrong, and the legal person ran out of the barracks in confusion, and without even having time to put on clothes, they saw that their positions were completely shrouded in artillery fire, and the violent explosion destroyed most of the French fortifications!

Seeing this scene, the first thought of the French is that the Chinese launched a surprise attack on France, you must know that in addition to the Chinese who can launch an attack of this scale in North Vietnam, can there be other countries, these judges have blown up their lungs, the Chinese are too despicable, everyone just finished a meeting in Washington, a lot of treaties were signed, you China also took back all the privileges, why did you turn your face so quickly and did not recognize people.

Of course, in addition to anger, there is more panic, if China really launches an attack, can they stop it, but now they don't care about anything, the short and fierce shelling has passed, and there are already some short figures outside the position, constantly jumping, are rushing towards the French position on the heights.

The French soldiers didn't care about anything, all entered the position, and began to fight back fiercely, France as an old power, there are still some family backgrounds, France has established a lot of permanent fortifications around Lang Son, there are a surprising number of machine guns hidden under the reinforced concrete, and there are a lot of rapid-fire guns, these fire points did not lose much in the shelling, and all of them were fired at this time!

The dense rain of bullets hit the Vietnamese in the charge, and in an instant these monkeys were killed hundreds of people, stumps and broken legs were all over the ground, and the sound of parents screaming was even more miserable, the Vietnamese team was still a little dense, after the machine gun swept over, many people would be beaten into a sieve, life was like artemisia grass, death became the main theme on the battlefield, and the Vietnamese offensive was suppressed.

Lu Rongting had been watching the battle from the rear, and when he saw the attacks of these Vietnamese, he couldn't help but shake his head. …,

Although they have undergone rigorous training, these Vietnamese monkeys obviously do not meet the standards of the squadron, and they have no actual combat experience, they should have been in the midst of the shelling, they quickly seized the position, who knew that the speed of these monkeys was too slow, and it gave the French a chance to fight back, and also caused heavy losses, if the squadron was afraid that it would have rushed to the position.

However, Lu Rongting was not distressed about these Vietnamese monkeys at all, and immediately said to Ruan Aiguo: "Mr. Ruan, it is inevitable that the war will be sacrificed, I hope your army can show courage and perseverance, otherwise it will not be so easy to drive away the French!" ”

Nguyen Aiguo was also full of blood at this time, looking very excited, this is the first battle of the Vietnam National Liberation League, if it fails, in fact, it does not seem that it is too incompetent, China will not continue to support itself, and it is even more distant to overthrow the rule of the French.

Nguyen Ai Ai immediately asked the staff officer to give an order to all the Vietnamese soldiers to carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and to take Lang Son, and at the same time, Nguyen Ai Ai asked all the members of the Liberation Alliance to form a supervisory team, and anyone who dared to retreat would be killed.

In this way, the Vietnamese finally mustered up the courage and rushed to the French position again, this time the Vietnamese also threw all their artillery into the fortification, you must know that their artillery is not much, especially the number of shells is not very sufficient, and now it is equivalent to taking out all the money.

With the cover of artillery and machine guns, the Vietnamese also showed their bloody nature, regardless of the fact that they rushed towards the French position wave after wave, as if it was a tide, completely ignoring the sacrifice, anyway, the forward is to die, and the backward will be killed by the supervision team, so they simply die in front of the battle, especially Nguyen Aiguo also borrowed the methods of Soviet Russia and set up political training personnel in the army to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.

This arrangement of the area is effective, after the initial panic, the Vietnamese gradually adapted to the rhythm of the war, the tactical actions learned in the past also know how to perform, the number of casualties is also constantly decreasing, and finally the Vietnamese rushed to the first position, until this time the French also figured out, it turned out that it was not the Chinese who attacked them, but those Vietnamese monkeys, but the French also knew in their hearts that the Vietnamese decided that it was impossible to have such a strong force, nor would they have so much heavy firepower, It must be the Chinese who are playing ghosts!

But no matter what, it is still necessary to beat these monkeys first, and soon the two sides fell into anxiety, and there were white-knuckle battles in many places on the battlefield, the Vietnamese don't look short, but there is also a ruthlessness, especially these soldiers are the most staunch Vietnamese nationalists, they strictly follow the discipline, three people formed a battle group, and the French began to fight fiercely, and more and more people fell on the ground.

However, the Vietnamese are still in a steady stream at this time, and the French are a little lacking in stamina, they did not expect a war at all, so the large army is still in the rear has not been transferred, and now the French are one less dead, and what is even more fatal is that the French troops stationed in Lang Son are not only French, but also a large number of Vietnamese, these are all French recruited troops, after all, the colony is so big, you can't rely on the French alone.

Originally, the imaginary enemy of France was the Chinese, and there was no problem in using these servant troops at this time, but when fighting with the Vietnamese, it was inevitable that there would be problems with the use of these Vietnamese soldiers, and these servant troops had long been tired of the control of the French, so they also did not contribute to the work, and when they saw the Vietnamese army on the opposite side rushing up, they took the initiative to retreat.

Even some Vietnamese soldiers will take the initiative to sneak attack the judges who manage them, Nguyen Aiguo can become the father of Vietnam in later generations, his ability is still good, he has long tried his best to buy and influence these Vietnamese soldiers who follow France, and now he has finally seen the effect! …,

The French not only faced the attack of the frontal Vietnamese army, but also had to guard against the mutiny of the servant army, and the situation became more and more difficult, and the forward positions were lost one after another, so they could only retreat to the most core area of Lang Son, relying on the already dense firepower to protect themselves, and at the same time sent telegrams to the Hanoi side one after another, asking the French government to come forward and negotiate with the Chinese to strongly protest China's attack on Vietnam!

Qiao Yu, who was far away in Beijing, had already received a report from Lang Son at this time, and at this time, the French minister submitted a protest to the Chinese side, and he was still in a good mood for this Qiao Yu.

"Minister Gu, in the past, we used to protest and condemn, but now we are being protested by others, this feeling is good!"

Gu Weijun was also full of smiles, "Prime Minister, the French are indeed very worried now, if they lose the three Indochinese countries, it will be even worse for the bad French economy, I am afraid that the French will not be able to hold on!" ”

"Prime Minister, I don't think France can just fall like this, after all, France is on the European continent, and it can still restrain Britain, and with France, the rival, the cooperation between China and Germany can go deeper!" Jiang Baili reminded on the side that Jiang Baili's vision is now very different from the original, and he sees it more far-reaching, the game of great powers is like this, it is necessary to suppress it, but also not to destroy the balance, only fighting without breaking is the best result, and there is no benefit to a blind showdown.

"Brother Baili reminds us that Minister Gu, you tell France that we don't know what is going on in Vietnam at all, and China will not intervene in the affairs between Vietnam and France, we hope that the French will solve the war problem as soon as possible and ensure the security of China's border areas, and if necessary, China is willing to act as a mediator to help France restore peace in Indochina!"

China has played a game for the French to ask three questions, and under the banner of maintaining peace to coordinate the relationship between France and the colonies, where will France agree, does this not show that the Chinese want to meddle in Vietnamese affairs, you must know that Vietnam is now a French colony!

Therefore, France categorically rejected China's proposal, and at the same time France asked China to strictly abide by neutrality and not support the weapons of Vietnamese rioters, and China did not hesitate to agree to the French, but it is not inevitable to do it secretly, you must know that China produced weapons for France during World War I, and now there are still a lot of stocks, France only paid liquidated damages, and now China has taken it out, just to be able to arm the Vietnamese, and the Vietnamese use French weapons to attack France, which has nothing to do with China at all!

The conflict in Vietnam spread to Europe as soon as possible, the franc instantly depreciated by three percent, and it was still falling, and the French government immediately panicked, they repeatedly expressed their strong stance to resolutely suppress the uprising in Vietnam, while doing their best to ensure the stability of the franc, but at this time France has lost the qualification to play chess, they can only be played with in applause!
