However, the French ambassador did not go to Lin Yuan. After all, this involves the issue of national dignity. France is a big country on the European continent and has dominated the European continent in history, so the French ambassador will not go after Lin Yuan rejected them. Easy to ask for help again.

Lin Yuan issued a telegram at 10 a.m. on October 10: "In view of the bad situation in the Indochina Peninsula, China reminds the Chinese and overseas Chinese in the Indochina Peninsula to evacuate the Indochina Peninsula through land and sea as soon as possible. The Chinese side will order the amphibious operations stationed in Shanghai. The army stationed in the Sanya Naval Base, preparing to evacuate the nationals."

This news worried Chulalongkorn for a while, but Barclays in the UK insisted that Lin Yuan would not dare to violate the spirit of the "September [-] speech" and would not send troops to intervene in the situation in the Indochina Peninsula.

On October 10th, there was no battle on the front line. The Siamese army was like a group of hyenas hiding in the shadows of the bushes, recharging their energy and preparing to pounce on their prey again, while the French army was like an old army. Far away from the hordes of hyenas, silently licking the wound.

Britain, France, and Siam are all working hard for the war. Lin Yuan sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and did not make any statement on this matter, nor did he go to the French ambassador to discuss this matter. Instead, he went to attend the first Chinese traditional conference. An art exhibition, a cordial meeting with traditional craftsmen, and a group photo with them.The talented girl Yang Weiting is one of the organizers of this exhibition. Lin Yuan took a look at her. Whenever Yang Weiting saw Lin Yuan, she would think of Guaner's words about "harem", so every time she saw Lin Yuan Will blush and heartbeat.

When Lin Yuan came out of the exhibition, an attendant came over and said, "Please see the French ambassador."

Lin Yuan smiled secretly in his heart, and thought: "The French ambassador can't bear it anymore!" So he asked his subordinates to invite the French ambassador to the living room, but the French ambassador didn't mention anything about the war. The man named Pierre Coubertin went out afterwards.

Of course Lin Yuan knew who this Coubertin was, he was the founder of the modern Olympic Games, known as the father of the modern Olympic movement, so Lin Yuan knew that Coubertin came to find him to hold the Olympic Games.

It was 1898, and the first modern Olympic Games had been held two years ago. However, the Olympic Games in this era were far less influential than in Lin Yuan’s era. Everyone in the world laughed at Coubertin, thinking he was a lunatic, while Coubertin's Olympic Committee was seen as a bunch of lunatics.

How could Coubertin know that Lin Yuan came from the future and was very familiar with the Olympic Games, so he took out a stack of materials from his bag and began to introduce the origin of the Olympic Games in blunt Chinese, saying that the Olympic Games can eliminate human conflicts , coincides with Mr. Lin Yuan's "September [-] Speech".

Lin Yuan waved his hand and signaled him not to say any more. Coubertin's heart suddenly turned cold when he saw Lin Yuan's action, because all countries in the world are not interested in hosting the Olympic Games. Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Mr. Coubertin, you don't need to say any more , The 1900 Olympic Games should be held in China.”

Seeing that Lin Yuan agreed so readily, Coubertin was so happy that he almost jumped up from his chair, and said, "It's really great that China can pay for the Olympic Games."

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "To host an Olympic Games, the money to build a few stadiums is a drop in the bucket compared to our money to build the Trans-Siberian Railway. We don't care. If we want to host the Olympic Games, I have a few conditions."

Coubertin hurriedly said: "Please tell me!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "First of all, women are allowed to participate in the competition." Women were not allowed to participate in the modern Olympic Games. Participated, we change now is a violation of tradition, is it not good to do so?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "You should agree. The actual situation in China is that the status of women is not low. If women are not allowed to participate in the Olympic Games in China, I will not let it go." Lin Yuan did not wait for Coubert after finishing speaking. Once he spoke, he went on to say: "The first condition is finished, let me talk about the second condition."

Seeing that Lin Yuan was so "dominant", Coubertin had no choice but to agree to Lin Yuan's first condition, and then asked about the second condition. Lin Yuan said: "The competition event must include traditional Chinese sports."

Coubertin asked: "What is a traditional Chinese sport?"

Lin Yuan said: "For example, cuju is very similar to British football, and there are also throwing pots, chess, etc. You can discuss the details with our Sports General Administration officials."

Coubertin frowned, and said: "But these sports don't have traditional Olympic Games!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "After the first Olympic Games was held in Athens, Greece, King George I of Greece personally asked you that the Olympic Games will always be held in Athens. You rejected this request and told him: 'The Olympic Games belong to Greece, and more All mankind', since it belongs to all mankind, why can't we join some traditional Chinese sports? Well, I only have these two conditions, no more."

Coubertin heard Lin Yuan's overtones from his tone and wording: "If you don't agree to my conditions, the Olympic Games will not be held in China!" So Coubertin could only agree, and then leave, watching Lin Yuan, the back view of Coubertin, thought: "In my time, every event in the Olympic Games was formulated by foreigners, foreigners set the rules, and the Chinese played behind them. Happy, there is no such thing in this era!"

After Lin Yuan met with Coubertin, Guan'er took advantage of Yang Weiting's meeting with Lin Yuan to gather Lin Yuan's "harem" together, and Lin Yuan had dinner with them again. When the ambassador found out, the French ambassador cursed inwardly: "Lin Yuan, you are too steady! Our French colony is about to be lost, yet you attend some traditional craft exhibition, hold the Olympic Games, and have fun with a group of confidante girls!"

Then, on October 10, officials from the General Administration of Sports sent Lin Yuan a list of traditional Chinese sports that entered the Olympic Games. Martial arts, Cuju, Jiju, Juhu, etc. were all on the list. There were more than 11 items in total. Lin Yuan instructed the officials of the General Administration of Sports to hand over this list to Coubertin and ask him to add it to the Olympic Games. From now on, the whole world will have to play the game of the Chinese making rules.

At 10:11 pm on October 3, the 29th Division on the Sino-Vietnamese border sent back news that Huang Huatan, the leader of the peasant uprising army in northern Vietnam, suddenly assembled a large number of troops and launched attacks on the three important cities of Vietchi, Beijiang and Taiyuan. Sheng, threatening the core of French rule in Vietnam - Hanoi.
