3122 The Führer's Anxiety
At the end of 1870, the French-Prussian War finally came to an end, the provisional defense government also surrendered, and the Prussian army appropriately opened up its siege of Paris.
The sound of gunfire finally gradually stopped, replaced by the sound of church bells celebrating Christmas!
Christmas is the most important celebration for Europeans, but Xiao Letian obviously did not have this blessing to rest. During this period, he became extremely busy.
One is the war in the Philippines. At this moment, almost all the diplomats in Europe have flocked to France. On the one hand, they have to mediate the French-Popular War, and on the other hand, they are persuaded that Xiao Letian should not change the status quo in Southeast Asia.
The Spanish Provisional Government is already crazy. They filed solemn protests to Xiao Letian and reiterated again and again that the Longyu incident was an accident!
Even domestic newspapers in Spain began to make remarks, saying that this was the Chinese people’s hard-working plan and the Chinese people’s guise!
All countries that have a grudge against Xiao Letian strongly protested and stood firmly on Spain's side. Tsarist Russia even expressed its willingness to provide Spain with a powerful Cossack mercenary!
Even the Queen of Spain who was exiled to southern France began to win over all forces in southern France, and eventually led to the strong protest statement by the Gandhi Parliamentarians!
The Netherlands also has its own colonies in Southeast Asia. Since the outbreak of the Brunei Battle, they have felt a deep threat!
However, the Netherlands was too weak to fight against the Chinese army alone. Now seeing that the Spaniards were in trouble, I quickly took this opportunity to send an olive branch to Spain.
The Netherlands expressed strong concern about the situation and was willing to provide humanitarian material support to the Spanish defenders in the Philippines!
What is material support? I'm afraid the naval fleet will be supported!
The crisis in the Philippines even diluted the influence of the Franco-Prussian War, and diplomats across Europe had a busy Christmas!
Xiao Letian was not afraid of the surging pressure and still used strong words to fight back. The Chinese insisted that the Spanish were deliberately doing the deliberate behavior of the Dragon Fish incident, and they also quit out all the old accounts that had been over for hundreds of years.
Don’t think that the Chinese are easy to bully at this moment. The newspapers you invest in over the years should also take action. Public opinion cannot always be controlled by you Europeans!
Through bloody reports, what did the Spanish do in the past few hundred years? A big reveal came to the good people of Europe!
After the baptism of the French-Prussian War, the international influence of the Chinese people has been greatly improved, and governments of various countries must be very cautious in handling Chinese affairs.
Although those politicians wanted to directly seal Xiao Letian's newspaper, they dare not. The Chinese people are not as bullied as the Qing Dynasty!
Is it useful to talk to the media? It is also useful to say that it is useful. After all, the media affects the hearts of the people, and the people hold votes one by one.
Sometimes those European politicians have to say something ignorant about the face of the vote!
But it is not very useful. After all, most countries in Europe are still monarchy at this moment, and the rights of the people are incomparable to the 21st century. In this world, the fist is the biggest.
Xiao Letian was waiting patiently, waiting for the good news from Asia to be sent back. He knew very well that only victory would have to be a mad victory, so that these arrogant Europeans could recognize the reality!
Xiao Letian never believed that these European powers would go to war with the prosperous Chinese for a final Spain. As long as Asia gained an overwhelming advantage, the bargaining at the negotiating table will be the next one!
One Christmas and the subsequent New Year celebration, Xiao Letian became the busiest person, the soldiers could rest, the war stopped and they got a rare holiday.
These Chinese soldiers belong to Prussian guests and have priority in logistics support. The Prussian logistics department provides more than twice the holiday supplies for Chinese soldiers during Christmas and New Year.
Seeing his soldiers watching the campfire and eating barbecue and drinking wine, Xiao Letian really wanted to throw away everything and join in, but looking at the information on the table like a mountain and there were so many documents waiting for his instructions, he could only sigh and go with the pain.
The lawsuit with Spain is already exhausting, but at the same time, Xiao Letian still needs to pay close attention to the changes within Paris, especially the Paris Commune. Xiao Letian's emotions are very complicated when facing this organization!
After Troxu signed the ceasefire and surrender agreement, Xiao Letian secretly convened all senior Chinese officials to a meeting, and at the meeting the head of state made an important judgment on the future development of the situation.
"The Paris Commune will definitely fail! These fantasists have not recognized their true strength at all. They have fallen into mass fanaticism and think they are invincible!"
"Don't be confused by the illusion of their magnificent illusion in front of them. Of course, the momentum of hundreds of thousands of people gathering together is huge, especially because there are millions of poor people behind them to support them!"
"But this is just a virtual fire! Once the anxious energy is released, what awaits them will be doomed!"
Of course, officials at all levels will not question the judgment of the head of state, but accepting the final judgment of the head of state does not mean that they have understood the truth.
Xiang Ying was the first to ask questions, "Of course I don't doubt the head of state's judgment, but is the crushing defeat you mentioned a bit pessimistic?"
"You must know that the power in the hands of the French Republic is also very weak. Even if the war breaks out between the two sides, the result will probably be both sides will be defeated!"
"A draw or a small defeat... won't it happen?"
Xiao Letian shook his head with a very serious expression, "No, absolutely not! There is no draw, no small defeat. The final outcome is a crushing defeat, which is a very miserable type..."
"If you don't believe me, I can take a gamble. On Christmas a few days later, you will be able to make the same judgment as me!"
What to see on Christmas? Xiao Letian said it very clearly that Christmas depends on the supplies of materials throughout Paris!
The siege of Paris was the most tragic siege battle at the end of the 19th century. The materials in the entire Paris were exhausted, especially food, fuel, medical products, etc., which had been completely exhausted.
All the mice in the city were eaten up, and all the animals in the zoo and domestic pets were in people's stomachs!
When General Troxu surrendered, their first request was to let the Pu army open all the city gates, at least to ensure that food and supplies could be sent into the city!
This is humanitarian rescue, and certainly, Bsme will not stop it!
