When he relayed Ouyang Yun's threatening remarks to the participants, the French were all enraged, some shouted "I would rather be a road builder than compromise with the student army", others proposed to organize a ** to attract the attention of public opinion in the world, and some people scolded Angbos, thinking that he betrayed the country to seek glory and was a traitor hidden in the Far East...... The crowd vented their emotions excitedly, and gradually noticed the difference in the faces of Degu and Loulai and other high-level officials, they consciously kept their mouths shut and looked at Degu one after another.

Degu had already experienced a painful struggle in his heart, so he could keep a cool enough head at this moment. Facing everyone's eyes, he said calmly: "Gentlemen, please face the reality bravely!" We have been abandoned by our own country, and now there is a second way besides agreeing to the demands of the Chinese? This is the sad thing about being a slave of the dead country! ”

The expressions of the crowd became heavier and heavier, and they waited quietly for the following.

Seeing everyone's expressions in his eyes, Degu sighed in his heart, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said optimistically: "The situation is not as pessimistic as you imagined, we all know that the Chinese have not had a large fleet for nearly a hundred years since the Qing Dynasty's Beiyang Fleet was defeated in the Sino-Japanese naval battle with Japan, and the command and operation of a large fleet requires considerable experience accumulation. So for a certain period of time, the Pacific Fleet may be in our hands - everyone, pay attention to my words, I say maybe, not absolutely. In Chittagong, we have all witnessed the Chinese successfully launch our Richelieu in a very short period of time, and it is inferred that the Chinese should have begun planning to build a blue navy a long time ago. Of course, the command and operation of a large fleet is not just a matter of operating ships, which requires a matching command system and a complete set of command strategies, which is exactly what we can provide, so the Chinese will fight our ideas. Gentlemen, putting aside prejudices, the determination of the Chinese in building a blue navy is worthy of our admiration. Today, I went to the Zhuhai Military Port to witness the Americans taking about 40,000 cadets to the Philippine Islands, and there I was threatened by Ouyang Yun. I was very angry, but on the way back I thought about it and felt that this was not an opportunity for our Far Eastern Fleet to rise again—gentlemen, what is the greatest regret of our French navymen? We have the fourth most powerful fleet in the world, but we can't defend our country—it's a shame for every French navyman. Today, Ouyang Yun once said to me that in the future, if conditions permit, he will help us counterattack Europe. Gentlemen, this may be just his words, but for us it is the only chance to wash away the shame. If we really join the Pacific Fleet of the Cadet Army, we will definitely be disrupted, and this will not be conducive to our pursuit of control of this fleet. But one thing is certain, if the Cadet Army really wants to challenge the combined fleet of the Japanese, they can only rely on us to give strategic advice, and even need us to charge for them, and this will be our opportunity......"

What Degu said was basically the truth, so after he finished speaking, the people in the congregation saw hope, and their emotions gradually calmed down, and they began to calmly discuss the issues related to the Pacific Fleet of the Cadet Army.

"Pacific Fleet? Chinese really dare to think about it! Your Excellency Commander, the Chinese say they have three aircraft carriers, is this true? A brigadier general named Krako asked Degu.

"It's true, according to the information I have, the two aircraft carriers that the Americans helped them build have entered the combat sequence."

"Strange, why do the Chinese pay so much attention to aircraft carriers? In the current decisive naval battle, the battleships are the main force," another commodore joined the discussion, his name was Pox, the former captain of the battleship "Richelieu".

As the fourth largest naval power in the world before the start of World War II, the French Navy had only two aircraft carriers and as many as eleven battleships, which shows how obsessed the French were with battleships.

The French navy was in decay by this time, but even so, they were confident enough to evaluate the current situation of naval development and feel that what they believed in was the right one.

Krako continued: "In the construction of an ocean-going navy, the Chinese are now at the level of kindergartens, and I don't find it strange that they make ridiculous moves." Pox, we don't need to mind any of that. Anyway, we just need to be able to regain the command of our warship. The Cadet Army can be called a tiger on land, but when it comes to the sea, isn't it just how we play? ”

Krako's words aroused the reverie of the others, who forgot for a moment the humiliation of being forced to submit to the Cadet Army, and advised them on what they could do to quietly take over the command of the Pacific Fleet.

Degu was aware of this, and he reminded everyone: "You can have this idea, but don't show it." Gentlemen, please bear this in mind, we are now under the fence, and our fate is tied to the Pacific Fleet. Therefore, even if we finally take command of this fleet, it will only be if our own safety and the safety of the fleet are guaranteed. In fact, if Ouyang Yun is willing to hand over the supreme command to me, I don't mind helping them against the Japanese in the form of mercenaries. Of course, from what I know about him, he definitely wouldn't have that kind of courage. ”

In the face of naked threats, the French finally understood the times. At more than eleven o'clock, when Ouyang Yun received the relevant news, he sneered and said to Pan Meiren: "I'm sure that the French must be calculating how to control our fleet at this time. Hehe, just make them happy for a day or two. I hope that when the reorganization plan is issued, the French will not be too disappointed. ”

Ouyang Yun dared to use the French, so he naturally had the means to guard against them. He also has a clear understanding of the role of this French naval volunteer. Degu and Lu Lai would never have thought that Ouyang Yun would reuse them, but their field of activity was not in the Pacific Fleet, but in Chen Ce's naval headquarters.

The French overestimated themselves too much - they felt that without the Cadet Army, they would not be able to confront the Japanese Combined Fleet, but they did not know that the fate of the vast majority of them in the Pacific Fleet was actually a blue-collar team.

The French thought that the battleship was still the protagonist of naval warfare, but Ouyang Yun knew that the aircraft carrier was the real trump card in the future naval battle. Because of this conceptual gap, the role of the French in the Pacific Fleet is actually auxiliary. This is also the fundamental reason why Ouyang Yun is not afraid of them at all.

(Old poison: That's all for today, let's try to explode ten chapters next Monday, there are too many things involving the French, and it's annoying to check the information)
