The consul in Guangzhou showed a pleading voice, although the British helped to ask China for a ceasefire, but this is only a diplomatic means, Britain cannot personally end up with China to war, then if the negotiations do not go well, then the Chinese in Vietnam have more complete reasons to continue to go south, if the only stronghold in Southeast Asia, Saigon is accidentally captured by the Chinese, no matter who it is, it is impossible to deny that the failure of France in Asian strategy, this defeat is about a small matter, But if the last fig leaf of Saigon is gone, then the old capitalist powerhouse, the great lighthouse, the heavenly kingdom of Liberty, that France used to terrorize others, will be exposed. Although the perception of France has been minimized since www.biquge.info several major defeats, at least France's credit has not gone bankrupt.

So at this time, the consul in Guangzhou couldn't refuse Wang Yangbing at all, and he didn't dare to say anything hard, such a diplomatic office was really happy, Wang Yangbing was very happy in his heart, it was rare to see the French so embarrassed, if it was in the past, I was afraid that their good faces were rare, but now they want to be played by China in the applause, but they don't dare to resist loudly, "On the issue of tariffs, I personally have no opinion at all, in addition, I am also very much in favor of completely banning such immoral drugs as opium and harming the health of the Chinese people," the consul in Guangzhou quickly agreed to all the things he could promise, at least these things could be recognized by the Chinese, which can be regarded as a progress in negotiations, "Of course, we recognize the legitimacy of the king of your country in Vietnam, Thang Long, and depose the king of the Nguyen Dynasty, which is completely the personal act of the commander of the North African reinforcements, and in no way represents the official attitude of the French government, and we do not support it." ”

This is just a fool, without the former Prime Minister Ben Sha, who retired from the Land War, clearly signaled that he wanted to win back a game diplomatically, the commander of the North African reinforcements would not have thought of going to Hue City to kill an unrelated Li Yansheng, of course, this brainless commander also paid the price of his life for his recklessness, but since he said so, Wang Yangbing did not poke it, but Piri Yangqiu thanked him, "Thank you for your dedication." He continued to make another request from the Chinese side, "What about the reparations?" How is your country considering? You know, our request is very reasonable! ”

"The casualties of our army in Vietnam are also very large, according to incomplete statistics, our casualties have reached tens of thousands," the consul in Guangzhou smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "Our casualties and losses are higher than your country's." ”

"But your country is the loser, and we are the victors of the Vietnam War," Wang Yangbing looked down at the consul in Guangzhou, "Only the victor has ever asked the loser for compensation. This is the patent of the victorious country, and it has nothing to do with whether it is just or not, and besides, we in China are the embodiment of justice, and we have come to Vietnam to preside over justice, and there is no reason not to accept reparations. ”

So you, the countries with the military system taught by the Germans, should also learn exactly the same as the Germans? The consul in Guangzhou cursed secretly in his heart, but his face was still very gentle, and he tactfully raised his objections, "I'm sorry, I believe that this condition cannot be agreed without me consulting the country, and besides, the amount proposed by China is so large that I can't even talk to the country." ”

"A lot of them? Excuse me, Mr. Consul, are you kidding! Wang Yangbing slammed the table, making a loud noise, and the clerks on both sides couldn't help but raise their heads, looking at the two chief officials who were negotiating, Wang Yangbing was furious, obviously very angry, "Our request is only 20 million taels of silver!" That's a lot of francs, 120 million francs, that's just 120 million francs! ”

"Is this number difficult for your country!" Wang Yangbing roared and said, he was probably very dissatisfied with the progress of today's negotiations, so he couldn't help but be furious, "You must know that just more than ten years ago, during the Franco-Prussian War, your country compensated Germany for five billion francs!" Mr. Consul, it's five billion francs! The 120 million francs we are asking for are only a fraction of this five billion, and I am afraid that the interest is not counted, and then your country is now telling us that this figure is very large? Ridiculous, if I'm not mistaken, it only took two years for your country to ask for this five billion reparations to be paid off! ”

The consul in Guangzhou was full of bitterness, and he couldn't say the words of explanation in the face of Wang Yangbing, who was like an angry lion, yes, the five billion indemnity for the Franco-Prussian War was paid off within two years, but this repayment came at a huge cost.

Five billion francs were equal to the total value of French exports for a year at that time. Bismarck hoped that France would not be able to pay so that Germany could suppress France's revenge attempts with military occupation within a generation. As expected, France is worthy of the name of "usury imperialism" as Lenin called it, and private capital is abundant. In order to pay off the reparations as soon as possible, the French government issued three national bonds totaling 5 billion francs to the people, and millions of French people rushed to subscribe for them, with a total subscription of 45 billion francs, enough to pay off 9 reparations! In just two years, France paid the reparations in 1873, and the German army was forced to withdraw from France ahead of schedule, and Bismarck's wishful thinking failed.

However, the early payment of this reparation is also equivalent to squeezing out the development potential of the French, and the savings and development in the previous decades have been sucked away by Germany, and France has been slumped and completely lost the opportunity to become a world-class hegemon.

"I know that your country has almost allocated hundreds of millions of francs for the war in Vietnam, and since it has begun to cost so much, does it not cost money to end it? I believe that your country should have considerations, your political level is probably not enough," Wang Yangbing spoke very politely today, directly explaining the incompetence of the consul in Guangzhou, "I want to remind Mr. Consul, what is the name of the French ambassador who did not do a good job in communication before?" I can't remember it, but I believe you know very well the ending of that unlucky ghost, that is, exile to North Africa to eat sand, I advise Mr. Consul, you to see the practice clearly," Wang Yangbing stretched out his finger and pointed to the ground, "In the south, in Southeast Asia, it is not your turn to make any demands now, this is our unilateral decision, and it will inevitably be the final decision!"
