Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty
C302 The French Expedition Plan
France, Versailles, Hall of Mirrors.
The palace maids and guards could not even remember how many times the emperor had been enraged. Ever since the news of the Besanthus had arrived, all of the maids and guards in the entire Versailles were on tenterhooks and did not even dare to breathe.
Napoleon III had already gone mad, all that accompanied him these past few days were angry roars and bottles of good wine. During this period of time, there was not a single trace of good news, and Government of France had suddenly turned into a broken house with air leaking from all directions.
Xiao Letian and his army had become the hero of their tragedy. They had saved the orphans in the fire, surgically removed the bayonets in the carriages, and the powerful media force had already turned these Chinese into the protagonists of this tragedy.
The people were simple, and they loved to watch the show. They would subconsciously differentiate between good and bad. Since Xiao Letian and the others were kind and wronged, then no matter how they explained, France would become the villain of the drama.
Emperor of France Napoleon III did not have a good reputation in the first place. His way to the throne was all deceit and suppression, using his uncle's prestige to win over the army.
In the eyes of the French, especially in the eyes of the supporters of the Revolution, Napoleon III was just like an executioner. And in the eyes of the Habsburg family, the Emperor of France was just a different breed of aristocrat, a warlord.
Fortunately, France did not suffer any losses during these years of war with the outside world. Thus, the prestige of the emperor was consolidated and the foundation of power was not shaken. However, what was sitting on his butt was not an extinct volcano, but an active volcano. As long as the army he relied on became slightly weaker, his opponents at home and abroad would definitely move against him.
Now, the appearance of the East Asian political star is like a wedge nailed into a fractured dam, giving signs of a collapse to the stressed dam.
"Betrayal, betrayal, all of you have betrayed me! All the hypocrites and criminals in Europe had joined forces. They were fighting a war against the France … Now, even my most trusted Attendant betrayed me and replied to my question. Who did you send to the order I asked you to give half a month ago? "
Inside the Hall of Mirrors, there was the sound of something being smashed. Amidst the mess stood the Attendant who had his head smashed into pieces previously, and right now, he was almost kneeling in front of the two of them.
"Your Majesty … Just listen to my explanation, I am not betraying you, but I hope that you can remain calm. Without the help of the British Navy, our little fleet in Asia would not be enough … "
"There are only 10 battleships that French India can dispatch now, of which only the main battleship are pitiful. If something were to happen to the expedition, then our colonies in Asia would really become stripped eggs …"
"Shut up!" Napoleon was like a furious lion, he even took out his gun from his desk and pointed it at Attendant's head: "I am the ruler of France, I am the emperor, I do not need you to teach me how to fight!"
His fingers were trembling, and his eyes were bloodshot. "Seeing that you've been following me for so many years, I'll give you one last chance. Send the order immediately, then you can go to China. I'll appoint you as the commander of the fleet …"
"If it is as you expected, we have failed... "At that time, I will consider bypassing your life …"
The leader of the guards was trembling, the black muzzle of his gun was pressed against his forehead, he knew that it would be difficult to persuade the emperor otherwise, "Yes, your majesty the emperor, I will head to the Sinai Peninsula now, and head to Asia immediately …"
Before he could finish his sentence, the door to the Hall of Mirrors suddenly opened and a servant stormed in. "Your Majesty …" The Queen rejected our request. The Royal Navy is neutral, they won't fight. They won't even fight … "
Before he finished shouting, there was the sound of a gunshot. The electric newspaper in the guard's hand had been penetrated by the bullet, causing his face to turn extremely pale.
"Hahaha, betrayal, it's all betrayal. Even the British betrayed me. The deep friendship we built in the battle of the Crimean War and the Qing Dynasty was all in vain. At the crucial moment, the British also chose to laugh at me … "These bastards of the Habsburg family have never even looked at me …"
At this time, Napoleon III was so angry that he had lost his calm. He put away the spear and walked back to his desk, and even organized the books and documents in front of him simply.
"The plan doesn't change. My dear Guard Captain, go to Asia. This battle of punishments must be carried out … As for your suggestion, I'll only take half of it. In this war of punishments, we will not send the army, but the navy will do it alone … Fire, ruthlessly bomb, and blow Ryukyu back into the primitive society … "
"After that, the battleship will head north to find trouble with the Qing people. Don't tell me Xiao Letian isn't Chinese, don't use such a childish scam in front of me … "Whether it's the war reparations or the opening of a new port, you will have to discuss it with the Chinese minister …"
His Majesty then turned to look at the pale-faced servant, "Go call the chief of staff. We must take revenge on Prussia. Even if we cannot declare war directly, we need a large amount of armed troops from the Austria …"
"Go and contact Austria Bei Naidekejiangjun. I believe in his strength, and ask him what he needs. As long as we, France, can provide it, we will not hold grudges …"
When Attendant saw the emperor's resolute gaze, he knew that there was nothing he could do. The two of them bowed to the emperor and left the Hall of Mirrors in a flash.
"So what if the whole of Europe is against me? Our France's army is invincible, as long as we have the strength, I am not afraid of Britain. "After Prussia is defeated, let's see how I deal with them!"
"Xiao Letian, I will let you live for a few more days. Once your foundation is completely destroyed by me and you become a homeless dog with no roots, I think there will be a country that will support you?"
"Useless stray dog, only death awaits!"
Compared to Napoleon III's craziness, Xiao Letian's was much more relaxed. After his secret meeting with Bismark, Xiao Letian could be considered to be officially accepted by the Prussian higher-ups.
This was the first appearance of a rising star in Eastern politics in European politics. The scene was unimaginably grand. Under the influence of the Prussian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, almost all the envoys from European countries except France had arrived. Even the Austria had sent a viscount to join in the fun.
No matter how tense the relationship between the Austria and Prussia was, both countries belonged to the Great Germany in terms of jurisprudence and culture.
Viscount Ah Lan, who was dressed in her gorgeous palace attire, walked down from the carriage and watched the lively scene in the flower garden coldly. The corners of her eyes could not help but twitch.
"Damn yellow barbarians, your stupid heads can only choose weak countries like Prussia. Do you really think they can dominate Europe? Don't dream about it, our Austria is the center of gravity, the Divine Roman Empire is the real deal … "
Just as he was cursing in his heart, a long carriage rushed over from behind him. The bishop of the hamburger, who held the greatest prestige in the Protestantism, Yaxi, and Bismark rushed over to the garden at the same time.
"Salute …" With Luo Huo's order, the hundred new army that were guarding outside the garden clashed with the ceremonial soldier's leather boots.
Bishop of Yax's eyes lit up. This was the first time he had ever seen such a legendary army. Oh, they don't have braids, they have the temperament... "This aura …" The Bishop was a little unable to describe it, but at this moment, Bismark spoke up.
"Iron-blooded, pious, commanding …" It's all thanks to God! "
Asshole! Viscount Ah Lan cursed in her heart but her face was still filled with smiles. Although he believed in the orthodox Catholics and was not convinced by Protestantism and her men, the Protestantism had been growing up for hundreds of years. On the surface, he had to maintain her respect and respect for the Protestantism.
"Esteemed archbishop, esteemed prime minister, these Chinese are indeed very valiant, but unfortunately, they belong to Asia, not Europe …"
Viscount Ah Lan's provocation was just too low of a level. How could someone who was on an equal footing with Bismark possibly have anything good to say, the bishop retorted with a smile.
"Oh? Haha … "Regardless of whether he is a Asian or a European, don't forget that their leader is a Christian, a Baptist of the Protestantism. Without the enlightenment of the Lord, I don't think such a miracle would have happened, all living beings are equal in front of the Lord …"
The Bishop then walked forward, he wanted to take a look at these soldiers, but Bismark was too lazy to even talk to Viscount Ah Lan, a mere viscount like him was too low class, furthermore his speech was too low class.
Weak intelligence, with that little bit of intelligence of yours, you think you can sow discord between the Protestantism and Xiao Letian? Your Austria only has this much to see in Europe. Xiao Letian was originally a disciple of the Protestantism, and had even donated a church in the Beijing. He was the core of the power that made the most money, and there was still 10% of the shares for the Church.
The church never lacked money, but the Protestantism needed this face. Since the birth of Christianity, there has been a desire to preach the world, with all kinds of sects competing with each other to send missionaries around the world.
Especially China, which was the focus of attention for the Pope, with its population of hundreds of millions of people, there were millions of believers in China. From the looks of it, the Protestantism had already opened up a situation in China with Xiao Letian's help. The churches in Beijing and the Church of Na Ba wouldn't be doing things so smoothly if it wasn't for Xiao Letian's help.
Bismark looked at him with extreme disdain, thinking that the Austria would actually raise such an idiot aristocrat, to sow discord without even doing a good job of gathering basic information?
"Humph!" Bismark released a silent nasal sound and chased after the bishop, leaving the awkward viscount standing on the spot.
At this time, the archbishop was standing in front of Xiao Hexin, and the elder's kind gaze was directed at him, "Young man, can you understand German? Is English okay? "
To be able to become one of the three prodigies in the New Army, Xiao Hexin's IQ definitely wasn't a problem.
"Lord Bishop, I can speak in German and speak some English …" After saying that, he gave a standard military salute. At this time, they could see the benefits of Xiao Letian making them train hard in the squad and the military force.
Bishop of Yax had seen countless people in his life, his eyes were unusually sharp. This bit of energy and vitality on Xiao Hexin's body was not like those of palace guards.
The moved Bishop even went to touch the left side of Xiao Hexin's neck. "My child, can you tell me where this scar came from?"
The palace maids and guards could not even remember how many times the emperor had been enraged. Ever since the news of the Besanthus had arrived, all of the maids and guards in the entire Versailles were on tenterhooks and did not even dare to breathe.
