The entire Bureau of Military Personnel and Bureau of Revenue were busy, transporting supplies to the southwest and the capital. The new army and navy were ready to move, and the governors of Guangdong and Guangdong were ordered to be on full alert.
Li Ye's arrival had already changed history. He could no longer predict the development of the situation completely according to history. He was a small butterfly that would eventually set off a storm...
romantic Paris
Romance was always linked to love. There were many beautiful stories on the beautiful Seine River.
On the island of West Cake, the sound of the bell rang seven times, but the Paris Congress, which was not far away from him, was still brightly lit. Members of parliament were rushing over, talking and laughing, and walking hand in hand into this hall that symbolized the highest power.
Ruferi was standing in the government building not far away, enjoying the charming night sky. She seemed to be unconcerned about the news from the distant East.
"Mr. Prime Minister, the members of parliament will be here soon. You can go over now!”His secretary came to report.
Ru Feli nodded and swirled the wine in her hand. The red wine drew a beautiful swirl at the bottom of the glass.
He placed it in front of his eyes and observed it carefully. The hangover was perfect.
"It's a pity. " After finishing the wine in his glass, he burped contentedly.
General Li, General Gu Ba sent a telegram asking if we should take any forceful measures against the Qing army!“
the secretary said as she carefully put the bottle of wine away.
The bottle had the words '1863 Poyak AAOC'.
It was indeed a pity. He felt his heart ache. The 20-year-old Bordeaux was the top wine region in the Bordeaux winery. The bottle had already been opened. Now was the best time.
" Tell him to be ready to act at any time. I'll convince the Congress.“
Ru Feili smiled and put on her coat.
His goal was to use Indochina as a pivot to further control the southwest region of the Qing Kingdom and divide it into spheres of influence.
" Mr. Prime Minister, what if we fail…" The secretary was a little worried. Ruferi's position as Prime Minister was not stable, and he had many opponents.
"Don't worry, only Germany will be our enemy. Besides, I've already ordered the navy to seal off the Suez Canal. Those yellow-skinned monkeys 'Sachsen can't pass through!"”
"Arrange the carriage!“
He was very casual and full of confidence.
However, after taking down the civilization war, his expression instantly became serious.
"We lost the Franco-Pratt War! France would no longer be the Napoleonic era that countless people feared.”
"Losing Alsace and Lorraine has made us even weaker. One day, we will face Germany again. If the Empire wants to win the war, we need more colonies.”
Ru Feili's eyes were a little dim, but they soon regained their vigor.
The methods of the iron-blooded prime minister, Bismarck, put a lot of pressure on him. On the land, the country of Dé was eyeing them covetously. On the sea, the people of Ying were competing with them for colonies. France's international status was not as good as before. They needed a strong prime minister to fight for the future...
A quaint four-wheeled carriage stopped in front of the steps of the parliament building.
"The Prime Minister has arrived! Salute!"
As the ceremonial officer shouted, the soldiers on the steps pointed their rifles at the top of the country's head.
Ruferi nodded slightly and walked into the building. He looked at the bill in his arms and was full of confidence.
"The King of the South has already surrendered! Why did that suzerain still dare to challenge France?”
"The king has escaped and has not been captured, but the great French Republic already has Indochina!”
"Those overconfident fellows refused to negotiate with us and actually dared to declare war.”
"Humph! Twenty years ago, we used 6,000 men to break through their capital. Now, we only need 3,000 men to defeat these monkeys!”
The situation was just as Ruferi had expected. When it came to going to that rotten country, most of the representatives supported it.
That country had astonishing wealth and huge territory, but it did not have the strength to protect all of them.
This time, he needed Congress to pass his bill! Allocate 150 million Francs and increase the number of troops by 25,000.
Twenty years ago! That war made countless people rich overnight.
This time, not only did they want more wealth, but they also wanted to control their southwest region!
"Ladies and gentlemen, the great Chinese expeditionary force has already prepared an exquisite gift for us, which is Indochina. However, the yellow-skinned monkeys in the Far East rejected He Gonghe's proposal. They ridiculously and naively insisted that our spoils of war belong to their protection!”
"His speech caused a lot of laughter and countless whistles. Of course, they were mocking how stupid the Chinese were.
Ruferi smiled and gestured for everyone to be quiet before continuing his speech.
" Therefore, we need to increase the strength of the expeditionary army and teach this monkey a lesson. This time, we will obtain more wealth than 20 years ago…"
His speech drew cheers. These councilmen had a huge desire for wealth. They imagined that the entire Qing Kingdom would be theirs.
It was just like how the huge Indian Bebe was ruled by the tiny Great Britain.
Prime Minister, the great Napolon once said that China is a sleeping lion and that we must not wake them up. Now that they have their own navy and other armies, are we not being too optimistic?”
Suddenly, just as everyone was passing the motion to celebrate their future victory, an unsociable voice sounded.
"Sir, you also know that the second half of the great Napoleon's words was 'I hope he never wakes up', so we have to let him die before he wakes up! The empire is on the left."
Ruferi frowned, but he still replied like a gentleman.
"The great French army never smoked…haha.”
Ruferi was being polite because he was the prime minister, but the other members of parliament were not like that. They were mocking the Qing army and mocking him at the same time.
Simons could only sit down helplessly, feeling ashamed!
Perhaps she was really thinking too much. How could those small wooden boats stop France's pace…
