Sun Yuwen continued, "I don't know what the expression on the face of this Frenchman, who claims to be the second most powerful country in the world, knows that we are so ruthless and wants the French to cede land and pay compensation!" ”

The Peace Palace in Paris, after learning of the demands made by the Chinese side, the entire parliament boiled, but in this boiling not cheers, but a curse, a red-haired old man slammed the table hard, "Abominable Chinese!" "Do they think that they can make unreasonable demands on France after they have occupied a dominant position for a while?" Cedion of land, compensation for military spending? Do these Chinese think they are talking about Arabian Nights! Break off! No! Can! Yes! He slammed the table hard with every word he spoke, and the table, which was not very solid, crumbled, "We in France will never let such a thing happen!" We cannot afford to lose to a distant uncivilized feudal country. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"We have lost," said one of the councillors on the side, speaking coldly, "please note this, including Pak Ki, Hai Phong, and now plus Hue, we have lost completely, and now we should be glad that China is not our neighbor, otherwise according to their military strength and the speed of their march, Paris would have been captured by now." ”

"How is this possible?" A young parliamentarian who looked like he was originally scrappy leaned back on the mat and muttered to himself, "How can my country, proud France, become like this!" Never! Never! ”

"Never!"

The crowd was a little turbulent, Baptiste stood up, waved his hand at everyone, and signaled everyone to be quiet, "I have announced that the French government officially refuses to continue negotiations with the Chinese, and it is absolutely necessary to fight to the end, we cannot accept such humiliating conditions!" ”

Baptiste, of course, knows that the war in Vietnam is not going to change for the better at the moment, unless he is desperate to use the power of France to re-engage in the war and send all the navy and army to Vietnam, so that he can have a chance to regain victory, but he does not need to pour cold water on it now, because the reality will continue to teach these parliamentarians who do not understand the reality what is called a cruel reality.

So of course, he followed the will of the people, rejected China's unreasonable opinion, and then he explained to the parliament that he had invited the British government, the most important ally of Europe, and the United States government, the most important ally of the Atlantic, to come forward together, hoping to help mediate the war from another angle, and the parliamentarians were very appreciative of the prime minister who adhered to principles and had the means and methods to solve difficulties, and believed that since he took office, he had made a lot of efforts to solve the plight of Vietnam, and the results were not bad, of course, the failure of Hue City, The new prime minister, who has been in office for less than a week, cannot be blamed. However, Baptiste also warned that the Chinese do not agree to stop the military operation now, then the French situation in Vietnam will deteriorate, but at present there is no preparation to pay a huge price for the British stationed in Asia to come forward, so the next can only hope to win a war to slow down the pace of the Chinese attack, and then use the victory to properly negotiate and let France withdraw from the war with dignity.

Then, of course, the parliamentarians who were not ready to expand the war and re-fight preparations certainly needed to find a scapegoat, and the admiral had already won the support of many people about the "Green Water Navy Plan", and many people could not understand why the North Vietnamese Fleet was so fragile, so it was time to accept that the ocean-going fleet could not adapt to the situation and that the French Navy needed to make changes, so the preliminary budget for next year's ocean-going warship construction plan was cut by two-thirds as a measure to punish the failure of coastal defense.

I don't know why, Baptiste saw the passage of this plan, his face was a little unpleasant, but he didn't say much, now the most critical thing in France's foreign affairs is how to understand the Vietnam War, Baptiste and the parliamentarians are discussing how to mediate through diplomatic means next, some parliamentarians put forward a proposal to ask Germany for help, "They have always maintained good diplomatic relations with China, and I heard that their crown prince has a deep personal relationship with China's evil queen mother, I think that we can be helped by Germany, the opinions of the Germans, the Chinese will listen. ”

"We will have to pay the price if Germany is to come to our aid," said one of the counts sarcastically, "and another Alsace and Lorraine?" ”

This will certainly not work, then the only way to make concessions is overseas, the Foreign Affairs and Overseas Territories Committee decided to discuss this matter behind closed doors, Baptiste is proposing, Romania originally agreed to hand over the land to Germany, but it was opposed, "If this place is given to Germany, the emperor of Austria-Hungary will definitely not be happy, then he will also influence the queen mother of China, then the effect of our invitation to Germany will be reduced." ”

Baptiste felt a sense of powerlessness, when did these important neighbors of France establish such an important relationship with China? So that the Chinese could not shake the proposition, the Foreign Affairs Committee deliberated for a while, a deputy director proposed to transfer a small piece of land to Germany in Southeast Africa as their port land, when Baptiste had not yet expressed his position, the door was slammed open, and in came Baptiste's confidential secretary, when the parliament was in session before, this young man still had a lot of blood, and he also stressed that China must not surrender and admit defeat, but at this time he had almost no angry expression, only despair and powerlessness, His face was like ashes, and he stammered to Baptiste, "Your Excellency, Chinese issued a notice in Beijing explaining the progress of the battle in Beiqi, General Miller, General Miller, he ......"

Baptiste was drinking coffee from a cup, he took a sip slowly, and his demeanor was very calm, "What's wrong with General Miller?" ”

"He has already led all the North Vietnamese coalition forces and surrendered to the Chinese army."

The members of the Foreign Affairs and Overseas Colonies Committee were in an uproar, and one of the white-bearded councillors even knocked over his inkwell, and the pitch-black ink spilled half of the tabletop, slowly seeping into the royal blue embroidered cross pattern silk tablecloth exported from China, "It seems that we don't need to ask the German side to mediate," Baptiste said calmly, "The most important thing for all our mediation is not to let the French soldiers in Beiqi rout and surrender, then, there is no need now."
