539 Oppression of the League of Nations

On 16 April, the National League of Nations accepted the proposal of the Great Empire of Vietnam and convened a meeting of all the member states of the National Alliance, at which Prime Minister Le Sai Xun, representative of the Great Empire of Vietnam, made a report on "The Paracel Islands have been the territory of the Great Empire of Vietnam since ancient times." At the end of the report, he strongly condemned the Chinese Empire's barbaric occupation of Da Nang and Quang An An Hai provinces and demanded that the National Alliance put an end to China's barbaric aggression.

This Le Thi Hun is the prime minister who was arrested with Nguyen Phuc Zhao, he was originally loyal to Nguyen Phuc Zhao, and later Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao launched a coup d'Γ©tat, and Le Shih Xun suddenly changed his flag and was loyal to Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao.

After Li Shixun finished his speech, Sa Zhenbing, a representative of China, immediately stood up and refuted: "The Xisha Islands have been our Chinese territory since ancient times. ”

Sa Zhenbing uses English when he speaks, in fact, in this case, Sa Zhenbing should use Chinese, but there is no way, there are too few Chinese translations, there are as many as 53 member states, and there are more than 30 languages used, so I can only speak English as much as possible, so it is easier to translate.

Li Shixun sneered, "Mr. Sa Zhenbing, you said that the Xisha Islands are the territory of your Huaxia Empire, what evidence do you have?" ”

Sa Zhenbing's expression darkened, if you want to talk about evidence, the Chinese Empire has indeed found a lot of evidence, but these evidences are in Dayu City, not in London at all, Sa Zhenbing had no choice but to say: "The evidence is all in our country, if you want to see it, I can show it to you at the next General Assembly." ”

Everyone was helpless at that time, the Chinese Empire was too far away from Britain, and it took more than a month to travel by boat.

Le Shixun smirked, "Mr. Sa Zhenbing, you don't have any evidence, but we have, respected representatives of various member states, now, allow me to show you the evidence that the Paracel Islands have been the territory of our great Vietnamese empire since ancient times. ”

Two Vietnamese people came over carrying a delicate wooden box, Le Shixun leaned over to open the wooden box, took out a glass photo frame from it, and said: "This picture frame contains the edict of the Emperor Bao Dai of Vietnam, which says that the Xisha Islands are the territory of our great Vietnamese empire. ”

Sa Zhenbing was immediately furious, "Mr. Li Shixun, this kind of evidence is meaningless, if our Flying Emperor makes an edict saying that your Vietnamese Empire is Chinese territory, will your entire territory belong to our Chinese Empire?" While Sa Zhenbing was speaking, several Vietnamese people had already shown the picture frame to the delegates of various countries.

Li Shixun glanced at Sa Zhenbing, did not argue, but continued to take out a pair of glass photo frames, and said: "This is the edict of Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty, the edict states that the 'Xisha Islands will be given to the Kingdom of Vietnam', as we all know, the Xisha Islands have always belonged to the Qing State before, and after the Qing State signed a treaty with the Chinese Empire, the Xisha Islands belonged to the Chinese Empire, and now we can prove that the Xisha Islands do not belong to the Qing State at all." ”

Sa Zhenbing frowned instantly, how could Emperor Jiaqing issue such an edict, he looked at the so-called edict with cold eyes, and suddenly found that the paper of the edict was white, Emperor Jiaqing has been more than a hundred years away from now, how can the paper be white?

This so-called edict was shamelessly forged by the Vietnamese!

Sa Zhenbing laughed angrily, when you Vietnamese people forge it, can't you fake it more realistically, can't you find an antique dealer to make the paper old?

Sa Zhenbing reprimanded angrily: "This edict is fake, it is a shameless forgery, if it is really the edict of Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Kingdom, why is there no trace of old paper at all?" ”

Sa Tran Bing's reasonable words were criticized by Connasings, the French representative of France, the rotating chairman of the League of Nations: "Mr. Sa Tran Bing, if you say that the Paracel Islands belong to the Chinese Empire, then please show evidence, and if you do not have evidence, please do not slander the evidence of the Great Vietnamese Empire." ”

Sa Zhenbing said angrily: "How can I slander Vietnam's evidence, I just sue everyone, their evidence cannot be trusted at all." ”

"I see that Mr. Sa Zhenbing is a little excited, why don't you go out and calm down first, how about it?"

Sa Zhenbing was even more furious, this rotating chairman actually wanted to drive the representative of the Huaxia Empire out of the hall!

Sa Zhen snorted coldly, stopped talking, Li Shixun showed more than a dozen pieces of evidence in the same way, and then said: "Respected representatives of various countries, my evidence has been presented, and now I formally submit to the representatives of various countries the "Proposal on the Withdrawal of the Huaxia Empire from the Territory of the Great Vietnamese Empire and the Return of the Xisha Islands", hoping that everyone will vote in favor." ”

Connasings took over, "Alright, let's go into an hour's recess, and in an hour, we'll have a vote on the Paracel Islands." ”

The representatives of various countries left the conference hall one after another to discuss privately, but in fact, only Sa Zhenbing and his subordinates were really discussing, and people from other countries went to drink coffee.

An hour later, when the crowd returned to the chamber, Connesings said aloud, "Now let's start voting!" ”

In this era, there is no electronic voting machine, and the voting process is carried by the teller holding the ballot box to the representatives of various countries, and the representatives of each country put the votes into the voting box, and the voting is by secret ballot, and then the votes are counted after the votes, and there are three boxes on the ballots, for, against, and abstaining.

The representatives of the first 52 member states all cast their ballots, and the tellers finally walked up to Sa Zhenbing and handed over the ballot box.

I saw Sa Zhenbing stand up, raise the ballot in his hand high, and said loudly: "The Xisha Islands are the territory of our Chinese Empire, and this matter cannot be ignored, so I boycott this vote!" ”

After Sa Zhenbing finished speaking, he moved his hands, directly tore up the ballot, and threw the confetti on the ground, Connasin shrugged his shoulders and said loudly: "Okay, one vote is invalid, now open the box and vote." ”

Just as the teller was about to open the box, Sa Zhenbing stood up and said angrily: "Respected representatives of various countries, this kind of vote is an insult to our Chinese Empire, as a representative of the Chinese Empire, I will never accept this kind of insult, and I will now leave the venue to protest." ”

Sa Zhenbing led his men to retreat, which drew snickering from the representatives of Great Britain, France, and Japan, while Li Shixun and Connasin laughed triumphantly, and the roll call ended quickly, and the final result of the vote was 46 votes in favor, two votes against, and four abstentions.

This secret ballot was subsequently abolished, because each major country had to see which countries were on their side and which countries were on their opposite side, and the subsequent votes were all secret ballots, and it was clear which country cast what vote.

In accordance with the rule that the minority of the League of Nations obeys the majority, the League of Nations adopted Resolution No. 1898001 of the League of Nations, which demanded that the Chinese Empire immediately withdraw its troops from Da Nang, Quang An and Ninh Hai, and recognize the Paracel Islands as the territory of the Great Empire of Vietnam.

This news was transmitted back to Huaxia by Sa Zhenbing, Lin Fei laughed on the spot when he saw this resolution, these Vietnamese are really interesting, they even thought of using the national alliance to suppress me, but in my Lin Fei's eyes, that national alliance is a fart, I joined the national alliance to fight for the interests of the Chinese Empire, I can use it to suppress other countries, other countries want to use it to suppress me, there is no door!

Lin Fei waved his hand and called Xiyun in, and ordered: "Convene a high-level military meeting, and I want to hear a report on the preparations for attacking Vietnam." ”

Soon, several major military giants of the Chinese Empire gathered together, including Liu Daming, deputy commander-in-chief of the navy, Li Mingming, chief of the general staff of the General Staff, Niu Dalong, commander of the First Group Army, and so on.

At the end of the seat sat a young man, his name is "Lin Gecheng", he used to be a top student at Harvard University in the United States, studying engineering, because of the Chinese Exclusion Act left the United States, returned to Nanyang, defected to Lin Fei, Lin Fei appointed him as the "captain of the air force", this air force, is Lin Fei's future air force, but unfortunately now the airship and aircraft have not been developed, but according to Lin Fei's idea of "preferring people to wait for equipment, not to let equipment wait for people", Lin Fei will inevitably build the personnel skeleton of the air force first.

Lin Fei first said: "The National Alliance Assembly has just voted to recognize the Paracel Islands as Vietnamese territory and demand that we withdraw from Da Nang, Quang An and Ninghai. ”

Liu Daming first said: "Report to Your Majesty, I have mobilized four Emperor-class cruisers, the Tang Zong ship, the Song Zu ship, the Chengzu ship, and the Ming Emperor ship, to the Sanya Military Port, and I have also mobilized four Leopard-class high-speed transport ships and twelve Giant Crocodile-class beach-grabbing landing craft, which can launch an attack on Vietnam at any time. ”

At this time, Lin Fei had four shipbuilding factories, Yanhuangcheng Shipyard, which was the factory with the strongest shipbuilding capacity, and could build four Emperor-class cruisers at the same time; Dayu City Shipyard, the ship-building capacity here is not weak, mainly because of the Spanish foundation, because of the proximity to the National Design Institute and Lin Fei, so it has undertaken a considerable amount of new warship research and development work.

The remaining two factories are the Surigao Shipyard and the Jakarta Shipyard, which are relatively low-tech, so they build civilian ships, but there are many parts and components for warships and civilian ships that are common, so these two factories also contributed a lot to the construction of warships.

With the cooperation of the four factories, Lin Fei now owns ten Emperor-class cruisers, including the Han Wu ship, the Qin Emperor ship (the Qin Emperor ship was sunk in the Battle of Semarang, and later Lin Fei retained the original name of the ship and rebuilt it), the Song Zu ship, the Tang Zong ship, the Han Wen ship, the Han Jing ship, the Ming Emperor ship, the Chengzu ship, and the two recently entered service Guangwu and Zhaolie Emperor ships.
