Red Alert 1895: Chapter 419 2nd stop, France

When Wang Guorui left some engineers and a small number of diplomats in Berlin to discuss with diplomats from various countries about the various technologies to be purchased, Wang Guorui and most of the diplomats had already set off for the west, and then prepared to go Visit to France. This visit to Europe cannot be just a visit to Germany, after all, several important countries in Europe are going to visit. Moreover, there is also the war with Spain and the Netherlands that needs to be dealt with. Wang Guorui hopes to legalize the results of this war and sign a legal treaty to clarify it, rather than the current occupation that is not justified.

However, with Taiwan's current strength, it is still not possible to travel long distances to Europe to fight. This will definitely make Spain and the Netherlands unwilling. Coupled with the fact that Britain is fanning the flames, Wang Guorui knows that this matter will not be so easy to solve. And then, the negotiations with the Spaniards and the Dutch will definitely not be so easy to resolve. Taiwan has no way to threaten Spain and He Lanlan, because once Taiwan sends troops to Europe, it is tantamount to igniting the powder kegs of the whole of Europe.

However, Wang Guorui deliberately did not visit the Netherlands or Spain first, because if Wang Guorui went to visit the Netherlands and Spain, it would look really ugly. And Wang Guorui deliberately left his mother alone, so that they could recognize their own situation and not take themselves too seriously. Wang Guorui deliberately ignored them and made them anxious. Anyway, they should be anxious. Wang Guorui had no idea to please them. The Spanish and the Dutch should also know that Wang Guorui didn't take them seriously.

As expected, Wang Guorui left Germany, and the news of going to France soon spread. The Dutch immediately expressed their indignation. Because the Netherlands and Germany are also neighboring countries, and they have also fought wars with Taiwan before, but this time they have already gone to neighboring countries, and the next stop is not to find the Netherlands, but to find some kind of France. However, France and Taiwan have no disputes, and in the eyes of ordinary people, they should be placed behind, but Wang Guorui actually gave priority to France. Isn't this ignoring the Netherlands? Therefore, many people in the Netherlands expressed their anger, and even the Dutch government sent a telegram to the Manchu Qing government in mainland China. I hope they "order" Wang Guorui to resolve the issue of ownership of Nanyang with the Netherlands as soon as possible. But the Manchu mainland government immediately threw the Dutch telegram into the trash can, not to mention whether they could order Wang Guorui, and they also looked down on the Netherlands. The Netherlands, a third-rate country in Europe, was under constant attack from Wang Guorui during this period. A prototype has already appeared. Therefore, the Manchu Qing mainland government also saw the world through struggles. The Manchu Qing mainland government finally realized that not all Western countries are strong, and there are many weak countries. The Netherlands is also a weak country. Although it was relatively strong in the past, it is no longer popular. Anyway, the mainland government of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not afraid of the Netherlands, so it just threw his telegram into the trash can and didn't take it seriously.

No matter how the Dutch protested, Wang Guorui and his party also took a car to Paris, the capital of France, and then the French sent Melina, the chairman of the French Council of Ministers, to meet Wang Guorui.

"Respected Governor Wang. Welcome to our France. Our France is a romantic capital. I hope you and your wives will have a good time." Melina said.

And Tan Ya quickly translated this French passage to Wang Guorui. And Wang Guorui also replied: "I believe that France is a romantic country, and the French must be a nation full of romance. I believe we will be very happy. Although there are some misunderstandings and contradictions between China and France, But I believe we will be able to solve these problems well.”

Anyway, Wang Guorui also talked about some bureaucratic articles, and there was no substantive discussion. And Wang Guorui will also conduct some visits in France. Visited some universities, factories, industrial cities, and even some tourist attractions and so on. They also visited the Palace of Versailles. Check out those "glories" of their past.

"The Palace of Versailles is the palace built by our French Emperor Louis XIV, and then witnessed the various stages of our French history. Therefore, it is a great witness of our French history." The French tour guide said proudly.

And Wang Guorui's bad taste suddenly came, and he asked curiously: "I once heard a legend about the Palace of Versailles in the East, I don't know if it is true?"

"Governor Wang, please tell me. I am very familiar with everything about the Palace of Versailles, so I can happily answer the questions for you!" the tour guide said.

"Wilhelm I, the German emperor, seems to have ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor here, right? Is there such a thing?" Wang Guorui suddenly asked "curiously".

When the surrounding French people heard this, their faces turned as dark as the bottom of the pot, obviously very sad for this unbearable history. During the Franco-Prussian War, Germany defeated France, and finally ascended to the throne at the Palace of Versailles in France. This is a great shame for any Frenchman. And this Franco-Prussian War completely determined the fate of the two countries, and even changed the strategic structure of the world. The successful unification of Germany in this war established a unified empire, that is, the German Empire. The German Army also became the world's largest army after the French Army.

Of course, the de facto number one army in the world is Taiwan's army, but this is not recognized by European countries. I thought that Taiwan's industrial strength did not have the strength to support Taiwan's army. Everyone believed that Taiwan's army could only be achieved by purchasing arms. Therefore, although Taiwan's army is very powerful, several times stronger than Germany's, Western countries Nor will they admit that Taiwan's army is the world's number one army, because Taiwan does not have matching industrial strength.

After the establishment of the German Empire, a revolution broke out in France because of the failure of the Franco-Prussian War. After that revolution, the current French Third Republic was successfully established, and it continued until the Second World War did not really end.

However, although this French Third Republic is a republic that was able to be established because of the failure of France in the Franco-Prussian War. But it doesn't mean that they gloated over the failure of the Franco-Prussian War, and the national policy they have always adhered to is revenge against Germany. And the German emperor's enthronement ceremony at the Palace of Versailles was actually a disgrace to the French. Although they are not a government, they are all a nation anyway, so naturally they will feel ashamed. Just like China, even in the era of the later Republic, they would feel indignant because of the national humiliation suffered in the late Qing Dynasty. a feeling of.

But now that Wang Guorui "inadvertently" mentioned this topic, it made the French look extremely dark. And Wang Guorui's "incomparably pure" demeanor seemed very "ignorant". But the French knew very well that Wang Guorui did this on purpose, to expose the scars of the French on purpose, and to sprinkle salt on the wounds of the French in a malicious way. The French looked at Wang Guorui with unconcealable anger, but they couldn't do anything about it.

If Wang Guorui was just an ordinary Chinese, those French people must have collectively thrown their leather shoes on Wang Guorui's head. However, Wang Guorui is also the governor of China's Taiwan, and he is very powerful. The French must show face. The so-called courteousness to ordinary people is because the other party's status is too low to be taken seriously. But Wang Guorui is definitely not a "common man", the French must give Wang Guorui face. If they took Wang Guorui's forehead for daring to take off the leather shoes, then the reputation of the French would be ruined far and wide.

So now Wang Guorui deliberately uncovered the scars of the French, and sprinkled salt particles on them, but the French can only blow their beards and stare, but there is nothing they can do. And the Chinese officials around saw the bad Wang Guorui tricking the French, and they were all amused for a while, and they were obviously very interested in this~www.mtlnovel.com~ China also has the opportunity to make the French suffer. , this can be said to satisfy everyone's bad taste.

"Well, Governor Wang, the past is over! If there is no failure in the Franco-Prussian War, how can we win the French Revolution? If there is no victory in the Great Revolution, then we France will not be able to liberate from the monarch*. So , everything should be divided into two, this Palace of Versailles also represents the progress of our democracy!" Someone immediately said.

It has to be said that France is an old big country after all, and its talents are good, and it can quickly think of a way to solve the situation.

"That's right, that's right!" "That's right!" "Although the Palace of Versailles was once a disgrace to us French people, we all know our shame and are brave!" "Yes! We have all made up our minds because of this, we must To overthrow the monarch* and establish a democratic republic."  …

A large group of hindsight began to fire, obviously saying that the disgrace of the Palace of Versailles was a testimony of France's hard work, and then because of the failure of the Franco-Prussian War, it awakened the people and promoted the establishment of a democratic republic, which brought great benefits to the country. Good development.

However, no one knows exactly what they think in their hearts. (to be continued)
