Chapter 239: Let's Start with Vietnam!

To say that Bazin's body has been greatly tested along the way, his brain has never stopped, he just keeps thinking, how to take revenge!

That's right, Mexico's defeat, the hardships along the way, this is simply a great shame, if you don't take revenge on the American Empire, Bazin can be comfortable?

So how to retaliate?

Bazin easily thought of one thing, the emperor of the American Empire was a Chinese and a Qing national, and most of the soldiers he was attacked were Qing nationals!

Isn't that simple? I'm going to clear the country!

Yes, I can't beat the American Empire, but is it difficult to bully the Qing Kingdom?

The second YA movie war France bullied the Qing country fiercely, but that time, it really didn't get too many benefits, the British took the lion's head, and then the Americans, her fucking bastards came to pick up the cheap!

And then there's the colony.

I really want to say that after the Age of Discovery, the Western powers began to go out to colonize, that is, to find colonies, and in this regard, France is very sad.

You see, the old Spanish sea bandits, the place that people are looking for, the whole of America, the good places are all theirs, Mexico is the silver kingdom, Cuba is the pearl of the Caribbean...... Actually, in terms of natural endowments, Central America and South America are much better than North America, which is true, but you must also know that there is a word called the difference between the north and the south, that is, the south of the earth just can't develop, which is very strange, but it happens.

Spain is great, and then there are the British. These guys are taking up a good place. Isn't America the son of the British?

What about France?

Quebec. Although it's a bitter cold place, it's okay, but now people are clamoring to join Canada, and India also has a French colony, but then it was given to the British, no way. Everything else is a few inconspicuous places, what Suriname, Senegal...... How many people have heard of these places?

Originally, it was about colonies. The French are late, he is more inland, and then there are no good places now, and the good places are occupied by others.

And now, you see, we French have been beaten by that American Empire, and the emperor of this empire is you Qing people, right?

So shouldn't you Qingguo make some compensation? We French don't want much either, it's just ......

“…… 陛xià! We can make territorial claims to the Qing State! ”

That's what Bazin meant, he just wanted to transfer the defeat to the American Empire. Transferred to the victory against the Qing Kingdom!

Yes, that's what they think. The relationship between the American Empire and the Qing Kingdom is like the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom, hey, your son beat me, then I will go and beat Lao Tzu!

Or you, the old man, have to give me some compensation, right?

It's a bandit logic anyway, but this logic ......

"Hmm~" The fox in the Tuileries Palace nodded, Napoleon III felt that this Bazin still had some ability, and he was not an idiot.

Napoleon III was really tempted!

As the emperor of the French Empire, although Napoleon III has one belief, that is, his uncle Napoleon, yes, he believes in his uncle Napoleon I and learns from him everywhere, but Napoleon III is not an idiot.

Napoleon III knew the problem of France now, and now on the bright side of France, that is, the country is fighting everywhere, and it seems to be a little tired, but however, France's strength is still very strong, after all, it didn't lose much, and it lost the current one.

This defeat really had an impact on Napoleon III's rule, but it was not enough to remove him from power, and he still had a chance, as long as he led France to victory again, then he could recover the decline.

Foreign wars can also distract the people at home, and this is something that the rulers of the whole world know, and isn't that what the United States does?

So, Bazin's idea is very good, so to speak, and it is very desirable.

However, there is a problem here, how to attack this Qing country?

You know, on the surface, the Qing country is very bad, she will be convinced as soon as she is beaten, and she will immediately sign various treaties with you, but you must also see that if you want to really take down this country, or even more ruthlessly, destroy this Qing country.

France is not capable of this!

Not to mention France, even the current superpower Britain, even Britain plus France, it is not capable of this!

Because the Qing country was too big, the population was too large, and the British and European countries like France were too far away, they couldn't send too many soldiers over.

THIS IS A PARTICULARLY OBJECTIVE PROBLEM, AND IT CANNOT BE SOLVED NOW, BECAUSE THE SEA ROUTE IS TO GO THROUGH THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE TO THE INDIAN OCEAN, AND THEN PASS THROUGH INDIA, SO THAT WE CAN REACH THE QING COUNTRY!

You know, there is no way to go to the Pacific Ocean now, this is absolutely impossible, because it is too difficult, and you have to go to Cape Horn in South America.

In fact, this is also the reason why, every time the European powers go to the ancient countries of the East to fight, there are not many people, and they can achieve surprising victories, winning more with less, but in fact, it is impossible to win the entire war.

Moreover, the French have not fought with the Qing State alone, that is to say, Napoleon III has no bottom in his heart, what if he can't win this battle? It's hard for France to send more soldiers.

Another point is, how can this territorial claim be raised?

If an ordinary traveler saw this scene, it would be incredible that Napoleon III, the emperor of France, had a headache in order to make territorial claims to the Manchus.

But in fact, this is really the case, and this requirement is not easy, because people who really understand history, such as Li Mengyang, can understand the psychology of Napoleon III.

The reason is that although the Manchus are all bad, the Manchus are really unwilling to cut the land!

Judging from modern history, it is really a humiliation, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty signed countless treaties that humiliated the country. And the compensation for the cession of land. It's just a matter of routine.

But. If you take a closer look at this history, you will definitely be able to see that losing money is something that the Manchu Qing Dynasty thinks is okay, but cutting the land, this is really not good!

Yes, the Qing court actually didn't want to cede the land very, very much, because this was the land of the ancestors. He cut off the root that shook himself, so he really didn't want to.

But the problem is that subjectively the Qing court doesn't want to, it's a pity, Li Mengyang is very clear, in fact, these land cuts are all made by the Qing court itself!

Yes, blame you Manchu regimes. A lot of lost ground is actually because of ignorance. I don't know, I can't see it. And then it was lost.

Let's talk about France, everyone knows one word, the French Concession, this concession is on Chinese soil, it is simply a foreign country, in fact, it is no different from losing land, but how did this concession come about?

This concession was definitely not a territorial claim at the beginning, absolutely not, but it was because of ignorance, that is, because of their own reasons, they ceded sovereignty to the powers little by little!

These things in the concession can't be said for a few days and nights, anyway, when Li Mengyang watched this history, he really couldn't cry or laugh. However, the current Napoleon III did not know, what he did know was that the Manchus attached great importance to the matter of land.

Anyway, Qingguo is, it's okay to ask for money, but you want land?

No way!

Don't look at Britain and Tsarist Russia, but that's people, not you France, so what can you do?

Faced with this problem, in fact, General Bazin had already thought about it, and he had been thinking about it for more than a year.

I only heard him say: "Your Majesty! HOW DID YOU FORGET THAT WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF INDIA ZHI THAT! ”

"Huh?" AS SOON AS HE HEARD THE WORD INDIDIA, NAPOLEON III'S HEART IMMEDIATELY CAME ALIVE.

As soon as he saw that there was a score, he immediately continued: "Don't forget, just a few years ago, we conquered the southern part of Vietnam, which according to the treaty was already the land of the French Empire. And now, we can use this place as a springboard to first encroach on the whole of Vietnam, and then from Vietnam...... IT'S MUCH EASIER TO DO HERE, WHETHER YOU WANT TO ATTRIBUTE THE WHOLE OF INDIA TO THE TERRITORY OF THE EMPIRE, OR GO DIRECTLY TO THE QING STATE, YOU CAN MOVE WITH THE CAMERA! ”

THE SO-CALLED INDIA IS ACTUALLY THE INDOCHINA PENINSULA, THAT IS, THE EAST OF INDIA, LAOS, THAILAND, VIETNAM AND OTHER COUNTRIES, THESE COUNTRIES ARE ALL SMALL COUNTRIES, AND THE HAND OF THE BRITISH HAS NOT YET REACHED HERE.

In 1859, there was an emperor in Vietnam named Nguyen Phuc Thi, who engaged in a policy of suppressing Catholicism. Can Napoleon III endure this?

Immediately sent troops, and then soon fought Vietnam, the emperor was silent, and ceded the land and paid compensation. The current southern part of Vietnam is actually French, but at this time it is said that this Vietnam ......

"Good! That's it! "Napoleon III was very happy, but didn't Bazin over there finish speaking?

Yes, Bazin did not finish, but Napoleon III understood it all.

You must know that although there is an emperor in Vietnam now, he doesn't dare to say that he is the emperor on the Qing side, he is at most a vassal king, that is to say, Vietnam is now a vassal relationship with the Qing State, so. Now if France makes another territorial claim to Vietnam, what can Qing do?

That Qing country must be a dilemma, Vietnam is her little brother, and now the eldest brother is not good, but in Asia, we are still powerful, but the French are here, this ......

It is very contradictory that the Qing State will send troops or not, and if the Qing State sends troops, then the French will have an excuse.

Look, that son of your family beat me up, and now you are unreasonable and want to beat me too?

The French Emperor was not stupid, he could see that the American Empire might be more difficult to deal with, but it would be much easier to defeat the Qing Dynasty.

In addition, even if the Qing State did not send troops and pretended to be a turtle with a shrunken head, it would be fine, Vietnam just took it, and there were more colonies. In this way, the decline of his new defeat has also been alleviated.

And it just so happens that you can also use Vietnam, which borders on the Qing State, and uses this as a springboard, so won't you do whatever you want in the future? (To be continued......)
