26 (1911) January 2, Wuhan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"What do you mean, Mr. Cavour?"

Early this morning, the British ambassador to China, Juerdian, stormed the office of Foreign Minister Cavour. Zhu Erdian's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You should know that France's interests in Asia are backed by the British Empire......"

Cavour asked, puzzled, "Oh, what are you talking about?"

Zhu Erdian said sternly: "Your country has wantonly increased its troops on the Sino-Vietnamese border and sent a fleet to blockade the coast and ports of Vietnam. I would like your country to explain the meaning of such acts......"

Last night, Zhu Erdian received a telegram from China, which said that according to the French side, China has suddenly increased its troops on the Sino-Vietnamese border, and France is worried about this. Downing Street meant that Jurdian would come to the bottom and at the same time state the British position. This shows that the Gallic chickens are still relatively fine, and they want to pull the cows into the water at the first time.

"Oh, that's the ...... thing," Cavour smiled, and then said solemnly: "You have come just in time, we are about to inform the countries today that in the early morning of January 1o, Hanoi time, an atrocity was committed in Hanoi, Vietnam......"

Immediately, Cavour picked up a bag from the table and handed it to Zhu Erdian: "This is the relevant information of this incident, you can take a look at ......"

The bag contained a large stack of photographs and records of the investigation of the incident, all of which were written in Chinese, English, and French. Zhu Erdian looked at it silently, his face was blue and red for a while.

This era is not the information age that will be in 1oo years, the flow of information is very slow, and Hanoi is not a big place, unless there are intelligence officers there, it will take a long time for what happens there to be known to the outside world. And the Hanoi riot is not a glorious thing, when the rooster goes to Niu Niu for help, it is vague about this, and Zhu Erdian is even more unclear.

In the face of such conclusive evidence, Zhu Erdian naturally had no choice but to stick to his original position.

Half an hour later, he closed his sentence, stood up and said, "I would like to express my condolences to the victims of this tragic incident in Hanoi. Then he changed his words: "This incident is regrettable and sad, but I hope that your country will exercise restraint and refrain from acting to change the pattern of Asia......

Cavour said coldly: "Mr. Ambassador, I think, if British citizens are brutally slaughtered abroad, can your country exercise restraint? As a sovereign country, it is our right to protect overseas Chinese, and it is also our duty to the people. This incident is a barbaric and brutal attack on our citizens, which will never be tolerated by our Government, nor will our 130,000 officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army......"

Then he said in an unquestioning tone: "It can be seen from this incident that the French authorities can no longer grasp the situation in Vietnam, and in order to ensure the safety of the lives and property of our citizens and expatriates in Vietnam, our People's Liberation Army must enter Vietnam and carry out their duty to defend the people......

Before Jurdian could speak, Cavour continued: "...... Mr. Ambassador, it is important to emphasize that Vietnam is not a native of France. According to international practice, China has the right to send troops to protect overseas Chinese. It is not our country that should remain calm now, but France, and we do not want to cause damage to Sino-French relations because of the actions of a small number of Vietnamese......"

Zhu Erdian only felt that a million divine beasts were running wildly in his heart, because this time it was obviously Vietnamese who did not take advantage of it, and many of the words originally prepared were not easy to say. Although the imperialist powers of this era basically consider themselves unreasonable with their fists, it also depends on the situation, and if the other side is fleshy feet, then of course they can do whatever they want. But if the opposite side is not the kind of hard character who can get it done in a few clicks, they still have to be reasonable.

If I was here, how could there be such trouble, I only needed to intimidate a few words, and the other party would kneel obediently. And the current People's Republic of China is not as easy to fool as the Qing Dynasty, this is a country with a million modern troops, recognized as the world's number one air force. With Britain's current military strength in Asia, it simply cannot have an advantage. Not to mention that the 6th Army and Air Force are far inferior to China, and even the Navy, because it has to deal with the Allies, the strength of the Far Eastern Fleet has not only not increased, but has weakened. With the current strength of the Far East Fleet, it cannot deal with the Chinese Navy, which has two dreadnoughts as the core.

Since this is the case, Niu Niu immediately took out his ancestral stunt - "selling teammates".

Zhu Erdian rolled his eyes and said ambiguously: "China's action to protect overseas Chinese is in line with international practice, and China understands this. However, we hope that your team will be able to exercise restraint and try not to clash with the French side. In addition, the French deposit in Indochina must also be guaranteed......"

Cafur smiled: "Mr. Ambassador, the purpose of our country is very simple, that is, to protect the safety of the lives and property of our citizens and expatriates. We have no hostility towards France, let alone expelling them from Indochina......"

"Then there will be no problem, and we will also persuade France to exercise restraint......" said Jurdian and left.

The British have never had anything to do with the word "righteous anger", and certainly do not take the fire out of the French. Besides, Vietnam is not France's homeland, and it is not a fool to carry it for the sake of France's colonies and a China that is very capable of fighting? Niu Niu is not an international Lei Feng, and this kind of thing that will not benefit them at all will not be able to do it. What's more, the situation in Europe is so tense now, if it were to pinch China, the Germans would roll on the ground with laughter. Not to mention, with China's current strength, if it wants to win, how many troops will need to be sent to fill it, don't even think about it

Subsequently, the Chinese Foreign Ministry briefed the embassies of various countries on the situation of the "riots in Hanoi" and China's reaction.

The United States, which now wears the same pants as China, naturally supports it. The most excited in other countries is, of course, Erdezi and Austria-Hungary, they immediately expressed their support for China, and Wilhelm II also personally telegraphed to Wen Dehei, although the tone was tactful, but the meaning could be seen by fools, that is, "I support the flipping of the rooster, don't be cowardly."

Russia was willing to support France, but they now have a lot of business with China and have to consider the damage caused by the deterioration of relations. Besides, Russia's infrastructure in the Far East is too poor, and there is only a Trans-Siberian railway, which is a target for the Chinese Air Force. If this railway is gone, most of Russia's forces will not be able to be thrown into the Far East, and they will not be able to settle down in the face of a strong PLA.

Besides, they also think the same as Niu Niu, why should we fight with China for a French colony? Or when we are about to start a fight with the Allies? Although gray livestock is worthless, it is not such a waste. So, in the end, Russia's attitude was also on par with that of the British, and even the words were about the same.

Other countries, on the other hand, have expressed their "concern" and advised "both sides to exercise restraint and finally resolve the issue through negotiations......

Embassy of France.

"May I ask you, Mr. Minister, is this an ultimatum?" said the French ambassador to China, Immanuel Kant, with an angry face.

Cavour said lightly: "Vietnam is not your country, it still has its own monarch, doesn't it? I think France is a civilized country, and it will not do anything to shield the murderer and hinder the rescue......

Kant was suddenly a little deflated, this matter is unreasonable. He had to say: "My country has the ability to catch the murderer, and there is no need for your ** team to enter the ......"

"It turns out that law and order in Vietnam is not as good as you say. Moreover, the action of our ** team to enter Vietnam to protect overseas Chinese has been decided, and this is only a briefing, not a discussion with your country whether it is okay or not...... Unless your country can agree to the terms and conditions, our ** team can not enter the ......"

As soon as he heard this, Kant immediately became angry.

There are three conditions put forward by China: first, all the murderers will be handed over within 2 hours and tried by China. Second, compensation for economic losses of 860,000 yuan. Third, China has stationed troops in five districts: Hanoi, Saigon, Hue, Da Nang, Hoi An, and Hai Phong to protect the safety of Chinese citizens and expatriates.

What is the name of this Nima? If one and two are negotiable, the third is too much for Nima

"Isn't it excessive? Didn't your country do the same in our country back then? Besides, Vietnam is not your country's homeland......" Cavour choked Kant speechlessly.

Kant watched as Cavour said goodbye and left, and a million divine beasts were running in his heart. He hurried to contact the British and Russian ambassadors to China to try to gain their support, but he did not want to negotiate them long ago. These two not only refused to help, but persuaded him to make temporary concessions to China, the overall situation of Europe is important, anyway, China has also guaranteed that it will not annex Indochina, and it is nothing to let some interests come out. The hairy bear ambassador Kosovic also assured him that as long as the Erdezi was overturned, Russia would definitely come to help you get back to the field.

The overall situation is important, your sister, Kant really has a feeling of wanting to cry without tears. As for the guarantee of the woolly bear, just listen to this. This stepping horse is feng shui in turns, and now Britain and Russia are all out of control, what kind of strength can France bear?

In the end, Kant, who had been running all day, called the country with grief and indignation, he had done his best, and it was up to the country to deal with it.

That evening, he received a telegram from the governor of Indochina that the squadron had crossed the border. And Vietnam also has a leading party, Huang Huatan, this damn guy, became a leading party for the Chinese. The Chinese used large-caliber train artillery to shell the Vietnamese positions in Lang Son...... Now the squadron occupies Lao Cai and Lang Son and is attacking Hanoi. There was also bad news, the French Far East Fleet was blocked in Cam Ranh Bay.

The only fortunate thing is that China's operation is called "armed protection of overseas Chinese", and it has not yet reached the level of declaring war, and it seems that the scale can still be controlled.
