" Junmen, how long are we going to keep digging? We've been digging for so long, but we haven't seen a single Frenchman. I heard that the imperial court is going to negotiate with the French.“
A battalion commander of the new army complained to Zuo Baogui while wiping the sweat off his face.
If you don't want to dig, go back to your hometown and hug your women. If you have the strength to complain, you might as well run ten miles for me.“
Zuo Baogui was already a little impatient. The weather here was still so hot and stuffy in this year and age, making him very uncomfortable.
The battalion commander immediately shut his mouth. They had set up so many defensive measures in this direction. In the exercise, they could be said to be a sharp weapon for the enemy to charge forward. He heard that the French were still foolishly lining up to advance.
It would definitely make those French players unable to return, but unfortunately, they had yet to see the French players attacking…
Paris, it's Sunday
Ruferi was enjoying lunch in his own wine estate. He was in a surprisingly good mood.
The expeditionary army's perfect performance had finally frightened the yellow-skinned monkeys. They wanted to use negotiations to solve the problem. Although their demands were a little overboard, he believed that the other party would definitely yield.
These yellow-skinned monkeys had always been like this. Didn't they just resist for a while before giving up during the previous two Onion Wars?
"The ownership of Indochina must be given up without reservation. The railway in the three southwestern provinces and the Tongshang Port are also necessary. As for the reparations and concessions, it will depend on the performance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
Ruferi couldn't help but think that if the other party didn't know what was good for them, he would have to increase the pressure on the Primordial Fungus again.
It was very difficult to serve as prime minister in France for a full term, and it was even more difficult to re-elect. He had relied on suppressing the Paris Commune to obtain this position.
If he fought for a huge colony for France and the interests of the Qing Kingdom, he was afraid that the next person sitting here would be him.
Suddenly, there was a sound of communication from outside. Soon, Stomach Patient let his secretary in.
"Dear baby, don't be so panicked. The sky won't fall!”
Ruferi's lover, who had rushed in, could not help but feel aroused. He was in a good mood now, so he might be able to hold on for a few more minutes.
However, he immediately gave up on this thought!
"Mr. Prime Minister, the Japanese have sent a telegram that the Qing people are going to attack us, and the facts have proven that it is true. The Qing army has already left Maguan and launched an attack on us!”
His secretary was obviously not in the mood to discuss his magic claw. Instead, she stuffed a telegram into his hands.
"Bastard? These damn yellow-skinned monkeys!"
The Japanese had warned them, but Ruferi did not agree. He thought that it was just a tactic by the Japanese to drive a wedge between them.
After all, everyone knew that these two countries did not get along!
The Yunnan army's attack did not go smoothly and was repelled by the French army. The French also discovered the large increase in the number of troops on the border between China and Vietnam. Now, they could be said to have lost the initiative.
"Damned bastard, immediately! Immediately order them to counterattack! The second batch of expeditionary troops will also quickly head north. We must make these monkeys beg for mercy again!”
Ruferi's face turned red after reading the telegram. He had been daydreaming.
Being toyed around by a child! What a shameful thing to do…
Zhoushan, Dinghai Port
The Beiyang Squadron's Chao Yong, Yang Wei, cruiser, Tai An, and Rui An ironclads. In addition, there were the Fujian Navy's Liuyun, Feiyun, and Kaiji cruisers.
Kaiyun and Kairan were built by the Hamburger Shipyard in the country of Dé, while the Drifting Cloud was copied by Mawei Shipyard. These three were sister ships.
Compared to Chao Yong and Yang Wei, although they were both third-class cruisers with a weight of less than 2,000 tons, the warships of the Armstrong Shipyard in Hamburger and the Ying Country were still very different.
This was because they were all made of steel. They were slower than Yang Wei, but their armor was much thicker.
According to the classification of the Ying people, these two cruisers were more like ironclads than light armored cruisers with fast speed. However, there were some flaws in their tonnages.
Dingyuan was a first-class ironclad ship, while battleships generally referred to ironclad ships that weighed more than 10,000 tons.
Although Kai Ji was Yang Wei's sister ship, it was closer to the Flying Cloud. It used a more advanced boiler and power plant, allowing its speed to reach 15 knots. It was the highest achievement of domestic warship design.
However, it was sunk in the Mawei Sea Battle. This time, he was transferred to the Nanyang Navy as soon as he built it. Soon, the Fujian Navy and the Guangdong Navy would all be merged into the Nanyang Navy.
At this time, the technology of Mawei Shipyard could already manufacture 3,000-ton ironclads. However, the destruction this time made the technology flow obvious. After that, China's shipbuilding industry was unable to recover.
At this moment, Lin Taizeng and Deng Shichang. Huang Jianhao, Chen Ying, Lu Han, and the others were all gathered on the Yang Wei waiting for the market. It could be said that almost all the elites of the navy had gathered together.
Liu Buchan and Lin Yongsheng are not here. Now that you have two less generals, you are no match for our Nanyang Navy!”Chen Ying didn't see it, but the two of them couldn't help but start joking with Lin Taizeng.
