Xianfeng fell ill, the result of the diagnosis of the imperial doctor was that the mind was depressed, the kidney essence was lost, and the body was already extremely deficient, and if it continued like this, I am afraid that it was not optimistic, this time period was in the afternoon, and Paris on the other side of the continent was still in the morning.

In the Elysée Palace in Paris, the French Emperor Napoleon III was receiving the plenipotentiary envoy to Indochina, Lieutenant General Genui, and after reaching an agreement with Wang Feng to divide Vietnam, Genui was full of joy at first, but what happened next left him dumbfounded.

A large number of refugees from the north poured into South Vietnam, not only brought huge trouble to the Nguyen Dynasty, but also greatly affected the interests of France.

In the past, when such a thing happened, France could have negotiated with the Nguyen Dynasty and the Vietnamese central government could settle it, but now there is no one to negotiate with, and France's power in Indochina is limited, and it will not be able to quell the local turmoil in the foreseeable next few years.

Originally, Genui had the intention of dragging Wang Feng in northern Vietnam, because he was familiar with the history of China and Vietnam, and the entry of the Central Plains Dynasty into Vietnam in successive dynasties had no good results, although he knew that Wang Feng could not devote all his energy to northern Vietnam, but no matter what, it was a little bit to be able to drag a little, and the strength of the Democratic Alliance, especially the comprehensive support for the Republic of Lan Phuong, made him feel afraid.

At present, in Borneo, since the 500 members of the Democratic Alliance Army landed on the island with a large number of weapons and equipment, the Dutch, who had been arrogant for a while, have died down, although the Dutch have several thousand people in Borneo, but on the one hand. On artillery the Dutch did not have an advantage, on the other hand. What if you hit the small one and provoke the old one?

Lan Fang has released news that the Democratic Alliance and the Republic of Lan Fang are about to sign a military alliance treaty!

What is a military alliance. That is, one side participates in the war, and the other side must also participate in the war, with Lan Fang's strength, it is impossible to fight with the Democratic Alliance Army, but once Lan Fang is invaded, the Democratic Alliance Army has the obligation to participate in the war, obviously, this is a protective measure for Lan Fang.

With the strength of the Dutch in Southeast Asia, they simply did not have the courage to provoke the Democratic Alliance. Since there are many Chinese-inhabited areas in Southeast Asia, including the Indochina Peninsula, if Du Xue Lanfang asks for help from the Democratic Alliance and the Democratic Alliance does not hesitate to provide support, it is conceivable that the Chinese countries in Southeast Asia will blossom everywhere and become China's overseas satellite countries.

Genui's calculations were good, but he never expected that the NLD forces would brazenly massacre and drive out the people of northern Vietnam in the face of the international community. Women are also forcibly detained, and a policy of vacating cages for birds is enforced.

Don't think twice about it, when Chinese immigrants arrive, central and northern Vietnam will no longer be a mess. With its abundant resources, it will become the treasury of the NLD army, but the rest of Indochina, which is part of the French sphere of influence, will be flooded with refugees. It's a de facto mess, and Reshi Yi feels cheated. So he returned home to explain the situation to Napoleon III and asked for more troops to control the situation.

Listening to Genui's narration, I also realized that the problems of the Indochina Peninsula and the situation in the Far East were very serious. But Napoleon III still had a confident expression, as if everything was under his control.

Napoleon III had just turned fifty, with two straight mustaches, knee-length black shiny leather boots, white leggings, a golden belt, a French generalissimo uniform with gold on a black background, a sash draped diagonally, and a white feather on his back.

"This man is not simple!" After listening, Napoleon III muttered: "But he doesn't know how to forbear, and at the same time offends many opponents, at present, under the rush of Britain and Portugal, there have been British, Portuguese, Spain, Netherlands, Russia and Opple agreed to form a joint fleet to expedition to the Far East, of which Russia will also send an army, and you know the situation in the Far East better than me, do you say that our country is going to send troops to the war?" ”

Genui didn't dare to slack off, thought about it, and then asked: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I can understand that West and Holland are participating in the war, the Netherlands has really felt the threat of the Democratic Alliance, and Spain occupies the Philippines, and there are a large number of Chinese living in the Philippines, he is worried that the Democratic Alliance will reach out to the Philippines in the future and gradually drive out the Spanish forces, and the Russians are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, this is a special product to take advantage of the fire to rob, but why did Op participate in the war?" These two countries have no interests in the Far East. ”

Napoleon III said: "Britain will send a mixed fleet led by the battleship Gladun, the battleship Prince Albert, the cruiser Yuriales and the cruiser Terrible, while Spain will send a fleet led by the Arapars and the Aragon, and the rest of the Netherlands and Portugal, although they are weaker at sea, are also doing their best, such a strong lineup, I am afraid that the navy of the Democratic Alliance will not be able to destroy the fledgling navy?"

Therefore, Op saw that it was profitable and decided to wade into this troubled water, but Sardinia refused the request to cooperate in the battle, hmph, Cavour, this old fellow, smart one, confused for a while, did he really regard Wang Feng as his son-in-law? When the war is over, he will suffer!

However, Sardinia is a small country, it doesn't matter if you join or not, in fact, I think that it is okay for France to send troops to the war, I don't believe that under such a strong lineup of the coalition army, that Wang Feng can still resist it, although this person is very politically talented, but the backing of politics is force, and the world ultimately has to rely on fists to speak! ”

Napoleon III waved his arms and squeezed his fist violently, looking strong and powerful!

Genui didn't immediately join in, although he couldn't wait to call Wang Feng in front of him and whip him hard!

"Huh?" Napoleon III noticed Genui's expression and couldn't help but wonder: "Do you have a different opinion? Once the coalition forces are formed, there will be nearly 100 warships of all sizes bound for the Far East, plus the warships of various countries stranded in the Far East, what are you worried about with such a lineup? ”

Genui bowed slightly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, although I am also worried about the serious consequences of the Democratic Alliance's dominance in the Far East, Wang Feng once put forward the idea of building a multipolar world, and I deeply agree with this.

Your Majesty, please forgive me for telling the truth, although since you ascended the throne, France has made great progress in all aspects, but the history of being blockaded by European countries led by Britain for a long time has made our French national strength still very short compared with Britain. ”

Napoleon III fell into silence, and nodded bitterly for a long time: "Since I ascended the throne, the starting point of my foreign policy has been not to anger Britain, and the Crimean War was dominated by Britain, although our French army was more numerous than the British army.

The robbery of the Far Eastern colonies is also picking up the corners that others look down on, but am I really willing to do this? It's not that you can't mess with the UK? That Wang Feng was able to put forward the idea of building a multipolar world, obviously a great person, and before Britain showed signs of decline, building a multipolar world was also in the best interests of our France.

But do you mean that we should sit back and watch? Are you crazy? Have you ever thought about the consequences of a coalition victory? If we don't get involved, after the war, I'm afraid that even the Indochina Peninsula will be carved up, and the vast market in China will not have anything to do with us France! ”

"Your Majesty, please listen to me." Genui said unhurriedly: "The strength of the Democratic Alliance is very strong, each of his soldiers is not inferior to the British and French soldiers, and even his artillery and infantry coordination tactics are more perfect, and he is more advanced in the army's infantry equipment, I say this, you may not be able to accept it, but it is true."

I once saw the Democratic Alliance army attacking Guangzhou in the city of Guangzhou in China, and I was deeply impressed by the rows of fierce artillery fire and the nearly 100,000 soldiers in the rear, and I remember that Wang Feng once asked me how his soldiers compared with France, which is known as the number one army in Europe, and I did not answer him at that time, but I had to admit that the French army would not necessarily be the opponent of the Democratic Alliance army when fighting with the same number of people. ”

Saying that, Genui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's hard to accept, isn't it?" I don't want to believe it, but as a lieutenant general who has commanded dozens of wars, you should believe that I can't be mistaken, especially since the Democratic Alliance Army is equipped with a very light infantry smoothbore gun, which can be carried by two people, and the shells fired have a great curvature, and can hit more than a thousand meters at most, which is much more useful than the grenadiers in our army, I specially listened to it, its name is mortar, the principle is not complicated, we should also vigorously develop this equipment, of course, this is a later story, I will continue to tell you.

The army of the Democratic Alliance is close to 300,000, even though his navy is weak, but he has an absolute advantage on land, and the coalition fleet is ashore, and it is impossible for him to be his opponent, including the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qing State and the army sent by Russia, at most they can only fight and lose.

A defeat for both sides would be the best outcome for France, but the facts will not change by our will, and the battle may not be over, that is, the limited naval forces of the NLD forces will be destroyed, and then the coalition forces will suffer a big loss in landing, and in the case of not being able to destroy the NLD army, it may be possible to sign an armistice agreement with the NLD forces. ”

"Hmm~~" Napoleon III kept brushing his mustache for a long time before saying: "According to your meaning, don't send troops?" ”

"Nope! To send! "Genui cut the railroad.

Napoleon III cast a puzzled look.

Genui explained: "If France does not join the coalition, although it will not become a public enemy of Europe, but the diplomatic achievements of His Majesty since his accession to the throne will be lost, Sardinia is a small country, it is nothing if he does not participate, but France must participate, but how to participate must not be reckless."

Your Majesty can find an excuse to postpone the dispatch of troops for a period of time, not to act with the coalition forces, temporarily stationed in Da Nang, Vietnam, and wait for changes, if the situation of both sides really appears, we can cooperate with the Nguyen Dynasty to launch an attack on the Democratic Alliance forces from the south to the north, and if the two sides fail, this army can also be used to calm the chaos in the Indochina Peninsula.
