Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan thought to himself when he saw the news: "Vietchi, Taiyuan and Beijiang are the three important cities on the outskirts of Hanoi, and they are closely related to Hanoi. If these three cities are lost, Hanoi will be in danger. , the first one to enter was Vietnam, which has been operating here for the longest time and has the most benefits. Now that the leaders of the Vietnamese uprising army are attacking these three cities, it will definitely be a devastating blow to the French Indochina Federation. The French will definitely not sit still Living."

At this time, there was another news about Vietnam: more than a dozen insurgents in southern Vietnam attacked the French army one after another!Lin Yuan nodded slightly, thinking: "In less than ten days, the French ambassador will definitely come to see me!"

Turning the other day, on October 10, the peasant rebel army led by Huang Huatan, with the assistance of the residents in the city, conquered Viet Chi in one fell swoop; the Siamese army, led by the War Elephant Army, set off from Luang Prabang City and went straight to the city. Vientiane in the south; in Da Nang, Vietnam, thousands of French people and businessmen lined up, hoping to buy a boat ticket back to France. The price of the scalper ticket has soared to twenty times the original price!

And in Fangcheng Port, the closest port in China to Vietnam, hundreds of large and small French ships have issued applications for entry, eager to enter Fangcheng Port for asylum.In the next three days, the battle situation continued to develop against France. The forward position of the Siamese army was only 10 kilometers away from Vientiane; On that day, the largest financial institution in the Federation of French Indochina, the French Agricole Bank, experienced a run. Within an hour of trading time, a full 14 million francs of deposits were withdrawn. The bank's reserves were almost drawn out and had to announce a suspension of withdrawals.

The bank's announcement of the suspension of withdrawals is telling the public that we have no money, which undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow to the public's confidence!Merchants in Hanoi are hoarding supplies urgently and dare not sell them, because the franc may become waste paper at any time, and no one is willing to exchange valuable goods for stacks of waste paper.

The hoarding of materials directly led to soaring prices, and citizens even began to barter. Agricole Bank is the financial foundation of the Indochina Federation. 90.00% of merchants’ payments and remittances have to go through Agricole Bank. dealt a huge blow to merchants.

On October 10, France finally couldn't hold on anymore. At nine o'clock in the evening, the French ambassador asked to see Lin Yuan in his private capacity. At this time, he didn't care about the dignity of the country, and said directly: "Mr. Lin Yuan, please help us France!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Do you agree to my conditions?"

The French ambassador nodded and said: "We agree! We fully agree! All our capital will be withdrawn from the Indochina Federation."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, then let's sign an agreement."

How could the French ambassador refuse to agree? Lin Yuan took out a document from the safe, handed it to the French ambassador, and said with a smile, "Please have a look."

The French ambassador opened the document and saw that it was written in black and white: "France announces the dissolution of the Indochina Federation, and the Chinese side wholly acquires the French Bank of Orient, Snell Steel Company, Bavarian Mining Company..." Below is a long list List, "In exchange, China will give France an order of 100 billion yuan..."

The French ambassador smiled wryly after reading the document: "Once this contract is signed, it means that the results of our business in France for decades have been completely handed over to China! Back then we forced the Qing court to sign the "China-France Treaty on Vietnam", from the Qing court I got Vietnam in my hands, and now Vietnam is going to return to the hands of the Chinese.”

The French ambassador was unwilling, but he had no choice, because this was the only way to prevent the big French capitalist group from losing their money. He nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, I agree to sign this treaty."

Lin Yuan took out a pen, signed his name on the treaty, took out a seal, and stamped it on it, as did the French ambassador, and the two signed the treaty on behalf of their respective countries. Known as the "Sino-French Secret Treaty", the signing of this treaty marked the formal withdrawal of French forces from the Indochina Peninsula and their replacement by Chinese forces.

Lin Yuan called in an attendant and said to him, "Notify Zhang Industrial Company and the People's Bank of China to act according to the predetermined plan."

The attendant agreed to come down and turned to leave. The French ambassador heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "When will we announce the dissolution of the Indochina Federation?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I want to test Siam's attitude, please go back first."

As soon as the French ambassador left, Lin Yuan ordered his attendants: "Invite Prince Doma and Princess Yalin to Yingtai, Zhongnanhai, and say that I want to invite them to enjoy the night view." Terrace, Yingtai is a group of water-surface buildings, beautiful and beautiful, where Cixi imprisoned Emperor Guangxu in Lin Yuan's era.

Prince Doma and Princess Yalin came to Yingtai when they didn't have a bowel movement. Princess Yalin was very happy to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but Prince Doma was worried because they had been in China for a few days. I didn't meet with them, but let them visit Beijing. I suddenly summoned them today, and I don't know what's important.

Lin Yuan met Prince Doma and Princess Yalin in a pavilion near the water. In the pavilion, there was a white marble stone table, four white marble stone benches, and a mutton jade jug on the stone table. Containing vermilion wine and various snacks on four jade glazed plates, Prince Doma said with a smile: "Mr. Lin Yuan treats guests so elegantly, which I admire very much."

Lin Yuan poured him a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Grape wine luminous glass, please taste it."

Prince Doma didn't know much about Chinese poetry, so he turned his head to look at Princess Yalin, who smiled and said, "This is an ancient Chinese poem, followed by 'If you want to drink a pipa, immediately remind me, and lie drunk on the battlefield, Lord Mo Xiao, How many people fought back in ancient times.'"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Princess Yalin is really talented, Mr. Prince, after drinking this glass of fine wine, don't you want to fight later?"

Prince Doma heard Lin Yuan's subtext, "Drink this cup of fine wine, don't want to fight later." It seems to be talking about poetry, but in fact it is talking about the current situation in the Indo-China Peninsula. Prince Doma did not drink that cup of wine. Instead of taking a glass of wine, he said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, are you trying to persuade us Siam to stop attacking?"

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, Prince Doma frowned, and said, "We in Siam have suzerainty over Laos and Cambodia, can't we take back these two places?"
