There was no need to wait until the next day, and the embarrassing incident of Albert stumbling and falling down the steps of the Prime Minister's Yamen had spread all over the city, and Albert was shocked by the ownership of the Suez Canal shares, and everyone was surprised, and they were surprised to realize that this matter seemed to be a very important thing for the French. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Albert's left foot fell into a crushing fracture, and there are good things to do, the paper bridge victory, the Hue coup, and the three times Albert was frightened turned into a joke, "Guo Songtao three angry Albert" was quite lively for a while, Albert was ashamed, second, to recuperate from his injuries, and third, China has refused any form of official contact these days, and Albert's running around has no effect, so it is better to put it down first and hide in the embassy.

Although he hid in the embassy, he was not idle at all, at this time Albert's left foot was tightly tied, lying on the case and writing hard, he was writing a personal letter to French Prime Minister Jouferi, he first admitted his mistake, although he did not know that the Empress Dowager Cixi's true intention was that it was impossible to sell shares related to the interests of thousands of generations, but he admitted that the Chinese borrowed this transfer of Suez Canal shares and played proud and noble France.

"The Chinese are about to sign a memorandum with Britain on shares, I believe that by the time you receive this letter, this may have become a reality, with the support of the British, I believe that we cannot take the shares of the Suez Canal from the Chinese, then since the shares cannot be seized, we need to retaliate in other ways, yes, dear Prime Minister Zhuferi, although this retaliation is an inappropriate word from diplomatic means, but I am really angered by the Chinese, I have to say such drastic and potentially untimely words, the Chinese used the Suez Canal to involve our move in Beiqi, they can easily and calmly deploy forces in Vietnam, from the coup d'état in Vietnam can be clearly seen, the Chinese secretly in Vietnam power is enough to influence the trend in Vietnam, this is the only time another coup d'état, the impact of this coup d'état is enough to prove that our lessons to the Vietnamese are far from enough. ”

“...... The Vietnamese rely on China, we can clearly find that since the Chinese entered Beiqi, the offensive of the Black Flag Army has hardened, and the Vietnamese also dare to change the treaty that has been signed and entered into force by deposing the king regardless of international practice, which is not only a slap in my face, but also a humiliation of the whole of France, and the Vietnamese, including the Chinese, should pay the price for such humiliation of a strong country. As long as we wipe out all the Chinese troops in Beiqi, then the Vietnamese monkeys who see the wind and rudder will find that what they think is hard support Chinese it is nothing more than those **** gypsy women outside Marseille, who look very fierce, as long as we give him a few whips, they will lie down meekly, and then separate their thighs, and let us do whatever we want......"

"Of course, we cannot have a head-on conflict with the Chinese, we are not ready at the moment, but their troops in Vietnam can certainly be controlled by us, and they will pay the corresponding price when they enter the battlefield, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, my personal honor and disgrace are insignificant, but the pride of France cannot allow a black-skinned monkey and a stupid and bloated old man country to trample on, we have given up the hegemony of the European continent in the struggle with Germany, we have chosen peace, Of course, this is for the sake of France's future, and we can't have too bad relations with our neighbors, so we choose to colonize North Africa and Southeast Africa, and in Asia, Vietnam will become our unbreakable stronghold, which has a bearing on whether the flag of the French Republic can be respected by everyone in the world, and on the distribution of our military, economic, and political forces around the world. ”

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, we have temporarily lost the battle for the dominance of the Suez Canal, but I think it is absolutely not time to give up, we can make China feel pain by putting pressure on Vietnam, and the Chinese who feel the pain will be like an ugly fat worm, curling up the fat of their whole body to resist the attack, so that we can let the war in Vietnam encroach on China's actual interests, as long as their domestic interests are threatened, and the foundation of the ruler is shaken, At that time, it is possible for us to take back the shares of Suez, please Your Excellency the Prime Minister to launch a war against the Chinese army in Beiqi as soon as possible, as long as we launch an attack on them while their foothold is not stable and the logistics supply has not kept up, we will definitely be able to quickly solve these local troops, then the Chinese are deterred by our French military strength, and they at least, at least dare not make irresponsible remarks in Vietnam. ”

Albert finally signed his name, I don't know when this letter will be sent back to China, but he must use such a long handwritten letter to prove his attitude, and be able to analyze the pros and cons in detail, he put the letter into the envelope, at this time the embassy attendant walked in, to Albert wanted to say something and stopped, Albert said indifferently, "Is there any bad news?" I'm sorry, but I'm okay with any bad news at this time, and is there anything worse than what I'm doing now," Albert pointed to his left foot with a plaster cast, "is there anything worse?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Ambassador, China and Britain have reached a memorandum on the issue of the Suez Canal shares, and they have finalized all the details," the chamberlain took out a text, and a newspaper was placed underneath, which he placed on his desk, "This is a copy of the memorandum. ”

"This is not worth my attention at all, not to mention, this is already a fact that is about to happen, I have been prepared for a long time," Albert picked up the text, very unconcerned, he felt that the blow he had received was enough, this matter did not need to be excited at all, he flipped through it at will and threw it aside, he instructed the attendant to send this letter to the port of Tianjin as soon as possible, take the fastest ship to France, and then picked up the newspaper, flipped through it casually, and turned over the unpleasant news on the front page" China and Britain signed a memorandum of ownership of Suez Canal shares" "These damn Chinese, use this to curry favor with Prince Edward, no wonder that Wade is not very keen on fighting the Chinese now." The British originally thought that they would lose their controlling stake in the Suez Canal, and now they still hold the control, so it has become a good choice for the Chinese to continue to hold shares, and these insidious Chinese are really playing too deeply. Albert muttered to himself, he flipped to the third edition and saw a message, "What! He almost jumped, "How could there be such a thing!" ”

"It's really the opposite!" Bao Jun almost stuffed the newspaper into his eyes, he saw the contents of it clearly, and suddenly he couldn't even swallow the dumplings in his mouth, and ate it into his trachea, his face turned red, Jing Lian hurriedly stepped forward to beat Bao Jun on the back, "Gong Pei, I said not to read the newspaper when eating, so as not to get angry." ”

Finally swallowed the dumplings, Bao Jun's eyes were still red and watery, and he didn't have time to clean up the dumplings, he quickly stood up and gave the newspaper to Prince Gong, "Lord, take a look!" ”

"What's the matter?" Prince Gong was drinking tea and said slowly, "Is it the French?" If not, it doesn't matter now. ”

"When are you still laughing here? Look at it," Bao Jun pointed to a piece of news in the newspaper, "Hu Xueyan, donate 400,000 taels of silver for the needs of the regiment to train in Vietnam!" ”

Prince Gong took a deep breath, put the teacup on the kang table, and made a big sound, which was obviously a little displeased, "For the country's worries and for the sake of righteousness, the Shanghai Silk Association donated 200,000 taels to the five provinces of Guangzhou, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan to train the Vietnamese army, and Hu Xueyan donated 400,000 taels. Prince Gong threw the newspaper on the ground, "Very good! Very good! The household department has no money to give, and the merchants in these places have become the home of the imperial court!
