The plan was determined, the general staff of the navy and the army, the chamberlain, and the intelligence agency personally in charge of the concubine Niangniang immediately cooperated with each other to start preparations, and the transfer of American mercenaries, the selection of domestic assault forces, the deployment of the main landing force for reinforcements and the naval fleet all took time to deal with. Fortunately, the Yazhou Military Port of the Navy's Nanyang Fleet was officially opened a year ago, and there are currently two Asterias-class armored cruisers Hai'an and Haixing, which have been built by the Jiangnan Shipyard and have only been in service for two months, and two Canglong-class cruisers Qinglong and Jiaolong, plus 12 small destroyers, which are enough to deal with the French Navy in Vietnam, and there is no need to increase the navy to attract their attention for the time being.

As for the landing ships, there are already four of them, and the army also has an infantry division on Hainan Island, which can be quickly reinforced when the time comes, and it is only more than 200 kilometers from the Yazhou military port to Da Nang, and the landing ships can arrive in less than 10 hours, and the French have only one regiment of land forces stationed in Da Nang, and they will definitely be transferred to Hue at that time, and the four landing ships will transport an infantry regiment to seize the beach, and it will be easy to seize Da Nang, as for the two old battleships and four protective cruisers of the French Navy in Saigon, Dare to go north, but it is also a dead end.

This plan is still hidden from the Congress, but the cabinet has already informed it, and since it is the intention of His Majesty the Emperor, Xue Fucheng and others will naturally not oppose it, including Foreign Minister Zhang Quan, who has just returned from Europe and has always been known for his moderate attitude.

He has successfully completed his task, China and Britain signed a new tariff agreement in London, and the Chinese tariff rate will be raised to no higher than the average of the tariffs of the seven major industrial countries in Europe, as for the British consular jurisdiction in China will be abolished together, in fact, the latter article was completely frightened by the horrific trial method of the Qing Dynasty government back then, and with the improvement of China's modern judicial system in recent years, this question can no longer be used as a reason, and there is no need to upset Emperor Yang for this trivial matter.

Zhang Quan, who has just returned from London. It is very clear that the strength of the French Navy at this time is to go all out to Asia to fight with China, and there is no hope of victory, and because of the Fashoda incident, coupled with the recent small moves of France in Nigeria, the British have absolutely no possibility to help them, let alone Germany, Italy and Austria, the only thing to watch out for is Russia, but now Russia also has no strength to start a war with China in Asia.

What the Tsar had to worry more about was that the Chinese Army had robbed him of the Far East, from Europe to Asia to the Americas. The huge empire that surrounds almost the entire planet needs to be guarded, and the power of this country has been dispersed to a terrible point, not to mention China, even the Ottomans have to be on the defensive, so why endure it.

However, the parliament cannot sue them for the time being, to be honest, Emperor Yang is very dissatisfied with the members of the parliament, perhaps because he habitually remembers the word Lao Cheng, regardless of the provinces or the people, the elected members are of a steady temperament. Those who lack an enterprising consciousness have little enthusiasm for expanding their territory and prefer to build the domestic economy well. When the chaos in Vietnam arises, even if they don't like to expand their territory at that time, they will not let go of that kind of good opportunity, after all, Vietnam has become an important dumping ground for Chinese commodities over the years. The capitalists were still looking forward to the complete expulsion of French goods from the market.

The French were unaware of Emperor Young's ambitions, and the news of Nigeria's large oil fields had already attracted their main attention, the thirst for oil. France even surpassed Germany, the Germans still have at least Guatemalan oil fields in their hands, although the production is not high but it is also an important adjustment, with the addition of the 50,000-ton giant oil tanker built by Young's shipyard for the Central American oil company, distance is no longer a factor restricting the transportation of crude oil, but the French do not have a single oil field in their hands, they have always been disconnected from the United States over the years, so that they have been excluded from Emperor Yang's club.

In this case, they covet Nigerian oil even more, and countless French investors regret the agreement signed with the British last year. To make up for its mistakes, the French government is secretly supplying arms to the chiefs of northern Nigeria while tricking them into standing up against the British.

The Germans targeted the chiefs of South Nigeria, this originally inconspicuous African land, the three great powers are engaged in a turbulent competition, in this case distant Vietnam, a protectorate that does not bring the most important wealth, naturally can not attract the attention of the French, originally they seized Vietnam, the goal is to infiltrate China from the land, but now this dragon in the north is no longer what they dare to provoke, can only carefully wait for Emperor Yang's claws to shoot out.

Just as he was preparing for war in Vietnam, Emperor Yang also encountered a small trouble, a small one, which he expected.

"What? Pesticide factory leaks? His Majesty the Emperor, who was accompanying the Empress in a newly opened royal orphanage, was stunned and said to Concubine Han who had come in a hurry.

"The pesticide factory in Sendai, Japan, had a large-scale chemical leak last night, which has caused a large number of Japanese deaths along the coast of Matsushima Bay, and it is estimated that the number will not be less than 1,000, and now a large number of Japanese have surrounded our factory to demand compensation, and there has just been a skirmish with the security guards stationed there, and our security guards have shot and killed more than a dozen Japanese." Caiyi said somewhat nervously, this is no longer an ordinary leak, this is an industrial disaster.

In fact, in recent years, there have been frequent fatal accidents in Monsanto, which is very common in the whole world, and thousands of people have to die in coal mines in the United States every year, but because Emperor Yang's benevolence set a relatively high standard of compensation for workers, he still took a lot of measures in Texas, and even limited the number of deaths to the person in charge there. But there are no such restrictions in Japan, and Emperor Yang does not care much about the lives of cheap Japanese workers, since the factory next to Matsushima Bay in Sendai has been in operation, and it is the first time that workers have died on this scale.

"What did the Japanese government do?" Emperor Yang hugged a child and said with a sneer, Monsanto Japan Branch is the most important high-tech introduction project of the Japanese government in recent years, and it can be said that it has provided meticulous care.

"The local police have gone to protect the factory, and a wing of the Japanese Army stationed in Sendai is rushing over, but these people are all local to Sendai, and I am afraid that among the dead are their relatives, and they may not be able to do their best." Caiyi said.

"It's really inexplicable to send someone to warn the public prestige of Saionji Temple, saying that if this matter is not handled well, it will affect my confidence in Japan's investment environment." Yang Feng sneered and said that he didn't believe that the Japanese government would let this worthless fart influence the Yang consortium's investment in them! Now the pitiful industry in this country is completely donated by Emperor Yang, so what qualifications do you have to negotiate with him.

However, what he didn't expect was that this time it was obvious that the Japanese did want to fight for some benefits for themselves, and there were too many dead people, and the toxic gas leaked not only killed more than 1,500 people, but also caused nearly 5,000 injuries, half of them were blind, and the grieving and angry Japanese people, despite the government's suppression, still refused to lift the siege of Monsanto, demanding compensation for the losses and bearing the cost of treatment for those injured, and there were many victims of workers in the factory. These people also joined the protests on strike, demanding better working conditions, basic safety protection, and even insurance.

Soon, as the incident unfolded, workers at several other factories in Japan, including the Young's consortium, showed signs of being ready to move, and even workers at the Young's shipyard Osaka cadmium plating factory began to strike in solidarity with their compatriots in the north, and also protested against the company's lack of concern for their health.

"What are you kidding, I invested in Japan because of the low labor cost you have, if it is according to American and European standards, then is it necessary for me to open a factory in Japan? Poisonous? Which industrial products are not toxic? I am in the UK, and the workers in Sweden are not disgusted with such factories, how did they get to Japan, but there are so many stinky problems? Could it be that the Japanese workers were more delicate than the British and Swedish workers?

You are a poor country, your people are poor, they didn't even have enough to eat before I opened the factory, now as far as I know, some workers who do a good job can own cars, you have to know how to be grateful, I have given you a good life, I want you to work well for me, not shouting about workers' rights there.

Work is dangerous, what work is not dangerous? Looking at the world, there are no dead people in any factory, and the little girl in the textile factory still has her scalp torn off! If the poor want to make money, they have to exchange their lives, don't be there all the time daydreaming, and the good days are used to stinky problems. Enraged, Emperor Yang reprimanded the Japanese minister to China, Komura Shoutaro, like a third grandson.

Frightened, Xiao Cun bowed and bowed his head to the ground, and apologized: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I've really caused you trouble, it's all our work that hasn't been done well, we will definitely deal with it properly, and we will definitely not let your business suffer losses."
