Veterans who have truly experienced the Franco-Prussian War have a completely different perception of the French than those who hear about it in China.
When human beings stay away from war, the romantic feelings towards war in their bones will become more intense, and they will expand their territory, march to Paris, and expedition to Europe... People can start all kinds of stories in the clues of the news. fantasy.
Releasing emotions in the light of victory, wouldn’t this be the best accompaniment to wine and food? Laughing at the stupid and disunified French big nose is better than any other joke.
But those who have truly witnessed the cruelty of war will never praise war, let alone laugh at their enemies!
Because of the veterans who experienced the Franco-Prussian War, I know the horror of France!
"France is completely a country with fanatical nationalism. Apart from our approval, we can defeat it. In the final analysis, it is the best historical opportunity for the president to choose!"
"I just took advantage of the civil strife in France and stabbed the French in the back... This battle was won beautifully, but it was also a fluke!"
"I can feel that as long as we delay it for another month or two, I'm afraid the resolution of this war will be different..."
"Why, because France is a country with a deep heritage and is a warrior with strong endurance... The longer the war drags on, the more this country's advantages will become apparent!"
"Look at these soldiers today who are ready to die! In fact, these people are not special, they are just ordinary French people!"
"When we were fighting, hundreds of thousands of the French Emperor's legions in the north were annihilated, but the south could train another four to five million elite troops in just two or three months!"
"All the people are soldiers! They have the concept of country in their hearts, and they have the heart to die for their country! This is the most terrifying thing!"
"I'm not bragging... I'm not flattering... In our Asia, except for the head of state, who can win this kind of war... everyone else can't, no one can..."
"The enemies are too scary...you have no idea how strong they are..."
"I...I have really seen...women...women on the streets of Paris were naked and holding red flags in their hands, leading a group of militiamen to charge forward, layer by layer dying on the road..."
"The corpses are just layer by layer... layer after layer... as high as the mountain..."
With a bang, the drunk Suzuki Tai and the veterans put their heads on the table and snored loudly!
Sakamoto Ryoma, who was sitting in the corner of the banquet, had a table by himself today. The four dishes and one soup were all vegan, but the wine was fine Japanese sake.
One cup after another, a thousand cups will keep you from getting drunk!
Hu Xueyan drank a glass of wine and sighed, "This is a powerful enemy! Is this still a human being? No one is forcing them with a knife, and no one is using high-ranking officials, rich salaries, women, gold and silk to seduce these veterans..."
"Even these veterans have not received any orders... They just do it according to their inner thoughts!"
"I love my country so much that I risk my own life! How can this be possible... I really can't imagine such an enemy!"
"I just don't understand. How come there is no threat or inducement, so why does this person just fight for his life? Is he really a born outlaw? He doesn't want to live anymore?"
"Especially when they #self-immolate, the songs they sang...and the chorus of everyone in the French Concession...what were they singing? Why are they so scary..."
"La Marseillaise! What they are singing is Marseillaise... a military song that was popular when the French resisted invasion by other countries!" a Marine platoon leader said with lingering fear.
"In France, when these people are desperate... they all sing this!"
"We sang our Dragon's Army song, and they sang their Marseillaise... They charged into each other head-on, fighting hand-to-hand... and fought for their lives!"
Hu Xueyan wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, "I'm going out to see Zhang Xiaowen's injury... I won't drink anymore... I drank this wine today and I'm scared, so I won't drink anymore..."
The bloody conflict on the Bund on September 6, 1871 actually did not cause much diplomatic dispute!
This era has not experienced World War I or World War II, and the global order has not been established. There is chaos everywhere in the world, and there are many conflicts with more deaths than this.
As long as there are no major power disputes, no one cares!
The next day, British newspapers published an apology letter from the British consul. He admitted that he had lax management and that the patrol police were instigated by French thugs to participate in the attack.
He deeply apologized to the injured Chinese soldiers and civilians, and was prepared to invite Chinese representatives to attend the hearing at the appropriate time. The UK will definitely sentence the criminals severely.
At the same time, on behalf of the consulate, he also gave a pension of one hundred pounds to each of the victims and twenty pounds to each of the injured!
This is really a lot of money. Now one pound can be exchanged for more than six taels of silver. Each person who died can receive a pension of nearly seven hundred taels of silver.
Ordinary people can't earn so much money in ten or twenty years! Just for Yinzi's sake, the public anger that had just emerged was suppressed.
Compared with the British attitude, the French were much more shameless. The French consulate simply closed its doors and no reporters were allowed in.
No matter what the criticism is from outside, he just doesn't express his position, and he is completely like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
The rumors leaked from the mouths of embassy staff in other countries are: 'The French said that the attackers were civil organizations and not government actions. We are not responsible. Everyone is dead anyway, so what else do you want to do? '
'Sue wherever you fall in love! I have lost 6.26 billion French francs, what else do you Chinese want to do? '
This attitude is really stinky, but I never expected that after these words spread to the people, they would once again inspire people. Instead of being angry, the people became excited.
The attitude of the French is disgusting, but this is the first time that the figure of 6.26 billion gold francs has been reported from the consulate around them!
"In other words, is the news coming back absolutely true? What we were worried about before was just pure imagination. Is poverty limiting my imagination?"
The people in Jiangnan who wanted to understand this suddenly forgot about competing with the French, and everyone rushed to the financial market.
With the spread of the well-developed newspaper industry and telegraph network in Jiangnan, all cities along the Yangtze River to Chongqing knew the news within two days.
There has been an incredible explosion of buying by Chinese capital!
Buy, buy, buy... All the stock markets and banks in all the big cities in Jiangnan are full. Stocks and bonds are sold as much as there is a market!
The wealthy businessmen and landowners completely let go of their worries and dug out all the money buried under the rockery in their back gardens. The last remaining silver of these families became deposit certificates in Chinese banks.
Due to the boost in credit, there has even been an outflow of deposits from some foreign banks. "If the Chinese don't deposit in Chinese banks, will they still deposit in the banks of foreign devils?"
"The head of state really got 1.2 billion gold francs from the French! With so much money as a reserve, he still blackmails our little money!"
National credit, the Chinese have truly established national credit in Jiangnan now!
