The "Green Water Navy Plan" advocated and implemented by the French Admiral Staff Officer, who had a generous patronage, quickly passed the parliament's approval, and then as long as the prime minister's administrative system adjusted the relevant fleets, shipyards, equipment, personnel, etc. that did not conform to the plan, the bill was passed.

Erbi and Shabi are certainly not stupid, the Chinese side has given up on French India, so there must be other demands that will be raised, there is a question about reparations, although it is almost solved, another demand, we have to wait, so this negotiation is progressing, but it is far from the time when a treaty can really be signed, the bigwigs of the two parliaments are very surprised by Baptiste's diplomatic mediation ability, I didn't expect this transitional prime minister to be very sophisticated, not only cut the amount of reparations to half, Moreover, it has retained the last fig leaf of France in Asia -- the governor of Saigon, and if the colony of Saigon can still be preserved, at most it will be restored to the situation of more than ten years ago, and France will not be lost. In the face of the praise of the parliamentarians, Baptiste was very modest, and he explained very honestly that the governing power of the governor of Saigon, under his struggle, was recognized by the Chinese, but the relevant legal status and management methods were definitely different from the past, and his personal opinion only needed that Saigon was still in the hands of France, and as for the form, or other constraints, it could be slightly put aside.

This kind of pragmatism is very much in line with the current state of France, and everyone is very satisfied with Baptiste, who gave a speech and announced that through this negotiation, after making full progress in China's economic, trade and judicial related issues, everyone stood up and applauded and thanked the pragmatic and capable prime minister.

"It seems," said an old councillor next to Irby, shouting to Irby, with applause, "it seems that we have finally elected a credible prime minister!" ”

Baptiste proudly walked off the podium, shook hands with the parliamentarians around him and exchanged pleasantries, and one of the parliamentarians asked with concern about the French prisoners, "Mr. Prime Minister, I heard that the Chinese like to eat human flesh, and our soldiers have become prisoners of the Chinese, will they be eaten?" ”

"This is obviously an impossible statement," Baptiste laughed, "I have won the most suitable treatment for prisoners of war, of course, there may not be any of our French cuisine in Vietnam, but it can be guaranteed that they will not go hungry, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has requested," he was surrounded by parliamentarians, and said proudly, "We do not believe in the medical technology of the Chinese, so under my protest, some of the wounded soldiers will be released immediately, and after the release, they will immediately prepare to go to Saigon in advance. Let our governors take good care of them, and never let them continue to be treated as captives! ”

He talked eloquently, and everyone cheered, "For the rest of the prisoners of war, I will follow the suggestions of the parliamentarians and quickly communicate with China, the Chinese side requires that they will release another batch of soldiers after the enthronement ceremony of the king of Vietnam, of course, our negotiations will be very successful, so it is very easy and quick to release all the prisoners of war." ”

"Of course, we have recognized the new regime in Vietnam, and the Chinese side asked General Miller and others to attend the ceremony, which is of course not very appropriate, but at present, when the British side has recognized the new regime in Vietnam, of course we also need to recognize this new regime, so General Miller, as a representative of the military, can participate." He pressed his hand on the laydown, "Of course, this matter has some impact on France's reputation, but we fairy Ah need to do a good job in negotiations, pull France out of the quagmire of war, and reduce our losses, the rest of the things are not important!" ”

Thang Long Province is full of lanterns, the streets are full of red cloth representing auspiciousness, Vietnam lives in the south, advocating fire virtue, so the whole Thang Long Province seems to be lit by fire, there are red decorations everywhere, after several wars, Thang Long Province still has many people, after all, this is the largest city in Beiqi, the city is full of stage, waiting for the celebration to start singing, this is the practice of Beijing, also moved to Thang Long Province, the streets are full of solemn looks, uniformed soldiers are patrolling everywhere, For fear that something inappropriate will happen, today's weather is excellent, no matter how Qin Tianjian picks the day, the good days are sunny and sunny, this is a very suitable weather for large-scale activities, Li Daoyuan is still wearing the county king's clothes given by the Qing Dynasty, and drove to the governor's palace, the current queen mother waited at the gate of the palace, and after a while, the officials of the Ministry of Rites came out, "Please wait for the prince to the palace first, and entertain the kings of various countries." ”

So Li Daoyuan left, the little eunuch retreated, and went to the Empress Dowager Cixi's living place to report the matter, Li Lianying sent the little eunuch away, and said to the Empress Dowager Cixi, "Buddha, it's almost time, let's drive?" ”

The palace maids helped the Empress Dowager Cixi to insert the dotted emerald beads on the big wings, this bead flower is very exquisite, the green luan made of kingfisher feathers spreads its wings and wants to fly, its eyes are rubies the size of rice grains, and there is a lingzhi made of topaz in its mouth, and a string of lilac pearl tassels hangs under the lingzhi, the Empress Dowager Cixi opened the fold and nodded, "The affairs of the French Navy are inseparable, and this ceremony, I have settled down, no matter what else happens, this time I fought with the French, and finally got what I wanted." ”

In her heart, she doesn't care about the Vietnamese at all, it's ridiculous, if China's vision has been limited to these vassal states around her, and there is no overall situation, what else is there to be a world power, and what is it said that it will rise? It doesn't matter how many people die in Vietnam, but the French thing is what he wants, and he stirs up trouble in Vietnam, so he naturally wants to take him down, the French are so short-sighted green water naval plan, they just fan the flames a little, cultivate and strengthen this force, and take the opportunity of the great victory in the Sino-French war to take the French people's current advanced warship technology, then don't pay compensation, how many people die here in Vietnam, it's worth it.

Empress Dowager Cixi did not understand military affairs, but she understood that the science and technology that had been backward for more than a hundred years could not catch up with the great powers in a short period of time without using extraordinary means, especially the large-scale naval construction technology, which the great powers would not share at all.
