The faces of the ambassadors of various countries were different, some people were very excited, some people were indifferent, some people were very disdainful, and some people were also very impatient, when everyone was making a lot of noise and began to stagger, the door outside was suddenly opened, mixed with the wind and snow came in a white-bearded Chinese official, Guo Songtao's originally extremely warm face became very ugly today, this ugly expression is worthy of everyone's understanding, after all, there is such a big defeat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Hello, Ambassador Albert, I have a credential here."

Guo Songtao bowed slightly to Albert, his white beard looked almost ten years old because of the snowstorm, Guo Songtao has always been full of grace, beautiful posture, English and French are fluent, in China, many people who do foreign affairs list Guo Songtao as an idol to emulate it, ordinary people also know that the prime minister's yamen has a "heavenly group" that does foreign affairs and often has ignorant girl fans, so the head of this heavenly group is naturally Guo Songtao, he usually pays the most attention to the appearance, at this time he is so full of wind and snow, you know, The matter must be extremely urgent, and Guo Songtao himself is afraid that he is extremely angry and has no intention of taking care of this.

Albert smiled and nodded slightly towards Guo Songtao, "Lord Guo, you came in a very timely manner, what do you have to say," Albert shook his right index finger lightly, "What did you say?" The nose is very smart, and when there is something delicious, our ball is about to begin, and here you are, come on, Mr. Guo, here is the best brandy from Paris, and I know that during your time as ambassador in Paris, you liked French brandy the most. ”

"Whenever I go to a country, I like the local food, but when I leave," Guo Songtao said coldly, "I will immediately disappear any interest in the local food, ambassadors?" Guo Songtao looked around at everyone, many ambassadors raised their glasses and bowed to Guo Songtao, they are very polite, at least on the surface, not because of etiquette matters to cause disputes between countries, Guo Songtao is the actual foreign minister, an ambassador in front of the foreign minister, the commission is nothing, today only Albert through the victory in Bac Ninh will be so arrogant, of course, the French have always called this arrogance the romance of France, "That's just right, so that I don't have to run a few more times, I will inform you of the contents of the national credentials. ”

Albert faintly had something absolutely wrong, why was this Chinese still so calm and calm at this time, he hurriedly stopped Guo Songtao, "Prime Minister, your credentials, I can come to the Prime Minister's Yamen to collect it, today is not an official occasion, not a good time." "No matter what the Chinese want to do, they must be stopped, who knows what their schemes are?" You must know that your reputation in diplomatic circles is really not good, "and the words of your country's documents are so profound that I will not understand them for a while." ”

"This national letter is very simple, there is only one sentence," Guo Songtao waved his hand, and the French stock Zhang Jing handed a bright yellow booklet to Guo Songtao, he glanced at everyone, and listened to the music for a while, and the room was full of calm and contemplation, and listened to what Guo Songtao was about to say.

Albert was a little calm, holding a wine glass, listening indifferently, what else could the Chinese do? They will always just protest.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom has announced to His Excellency Joufery, Prime Minister of the French Republic, that from now on, all diplomatic ties between the two countries will be severed and war will be declared on the French Republic!"

Declare war!

Declare war!

Declare war!

With a bang, the Chinese actually declared war on France, one of the most powerful countries in the world! It was only for a few thousand casualties that a superpower was declared war!

Albert's left hand was released, the cup in his hand slipped unconsciously, fell on the marble floor, smashed with a click, and the amber liquid splashed out, frightening several noblewomen around him screamed and retreated, Albert felt that his mind was blank, and his mouth subconsciously opened very open, "Prime Minister, you, what did you say?" ”

"This official speaks French, if you are not deaf, you should know what I am talking about," Guo Songtao said coldly, he waved to the attendant, put the bright yellow booklet on the guard's tray, and picked up a glass of brandy, "Mr. Ambassadors," he raised his glass to everyone, "I'm very sorry to tell you that this ball at the French Embassy won't be going on for long," he finished the wine in the glass and said to Albert, who was still in a state of dementia. Please leave our country immediately, Ambassador Li Fengbao has already left Paris and headed for Berlin, and now there is no diplomatic relations between our two countries, so please leave immediately. ”

It is really rare to expel the ambassador so cleanly, or on the occasion when the envoys of various countries are there, not to mention that the Chinese actually did not give the French any chance to react, and asked him to leave immediately, but how, Albert's reputation is already stinky to the home.

Guo Songtao turned around and left, the envoys of various countries also said goodbye, China officially declared war on France, this is a very important thing, the British ambassador Wade's eyes flashed, drank the brandy in his hand, put on white gloves, and left with everyone.

When he got into the carriage, he pondered for a while, and said to the military attache opposite, "We must be vigilant, the Chinese will never act so decisively, they must have their own plans, after the declaration of war, they can start to move their regular troops openly, Albert is obviously miscalculated, he thought that the Chinese would not send regular troops, but they certainly did not expect that the Chinese would act so quickly." ”

"But don't we in the UK also think that the Chinese will not start a war?" The military attache said, "You must know that this year is the fiftieth birthday of Her Majesty the Empress Dowager in their reign, and the Chinese will focus mainly on celebrating the Empress Dowager's birthday rather than using large-scale force, and, according to our calculations, plus Mr. Hurd's statistics, if the Chinese want to fully carry out a war in Vietnam, they will not have enough funds to support a huge battle." What's more, the gains they received on the battlefield in Vietnam were very low. ”

Wade shook his head, "There must be a big loophole in this that we have forgotten, we need to find another reason for the Chinese to go to war, just got the news just now, China's prime minister has been deposed, I believe this must be related to the Vietnam matter," Wade was a little at a loss, more has happened in China in two years than any other country in Europe needs to deal with.
