Obviously it has entered autumn, but the weather did not seem to be cooling down. It is also said that it is entering the dry season, but the rain in the sky is still falling intermittently. ..om Romance First Release @Le@@小@Talk|
For the foreign nationals who have been in French Indochina for the past month, their lives have been very moist. Accompanied by a large number of law teams, there are European fashionable luxury accessories and countless supplies.
France is indeed worthy of being the top European power at the time. When the domestic political factors that caused internal friction were eliminated due to war, this former European hegemon was finally able to perform without constraints. Your true strength.
France is indeed a nation with its profound background. Although most of the time it is quite funny, it cannot be denied that they have also experienced the most glorious historical period. There was a time when French politicians were like rain and famous generals, and nobles all over Europe were learning French with their noses blocked. Even the most hated enemies had to learn the cumbersome etiquette of Versailles.
Since the Franco-Prussian War, France has begun to decline rapidly. Every veteran overlord falls, and another emerging empire must rise. This is the natural law of historical development. Although the French are not convinced, they can only Accept this fact sadly.
When Petain’s position gradually stabilized, some French people believed that the Third French Republic had reached the end. Although this president is very old, who can guarantee that he will not be corrupted and seduced by power? French history Will there be a third French empire? This is really hard to say.
Don’t say, there are French experts who have studied this question specially, and the answer is a bit surprising. With Petain’s current civilian support rate and control and influence on the army, if he wants to proclaim himself emperor, It seems that no force in France can stop it.
It seems that only the German head of state can stop Petain from doing this. This is really a joke that makes people laugh. It turned out to be a foreign dictator who defended the French Republic.
Several left-wing newspapers in France, with obvious intentions, rushed to publish this research report, as they hoped, it caused a sensation in society.
However, contrary to the original intention of those editors who published this report, many French people admit that France must change. The idea of changing to an empire sounds good, and maybe it can bring back some of France's lost glory.
Finally, Petain’s mind is still sober, he jumped out to argue in the first place, claiming that he never meant to change the political system, whether it is now or in the future, he is the president of the French Republic, never What will become the emperor of France.
Betain’s speech was very timely, and immediately dispelled what was in the making. The people loved their president even more. This is the real great man of France, without any selfish thoughts, willing to fight for the cause of the Republic. lifelong. The old president speaks to this point, what more can you ask of him.
Betain knows that this is a secret move by his enemies. Although it is not clear which faction it is, it is clear that the other party knows a certain amount of inside information, and there must be people inside the government involved. This trick really hit his weakness. Petain's power in his hands is getting greater and greater, and he is slowly moving closer to a dictator. If this continues, there may be only one difference between him and the emperor. Crown made of top gold.
Before Petain finds out the hidden enemies and deals with them, he must find a way to gain some time for himself. The best way is to use other events to divert the attention of the domestic people.
Italy was originally a very good topic, but the German head of state didn't know why. He was like a mad dog protecting food on the Italian issue. Petain didn't want to drink a good soup, but he lost a piece of meat.
As a result, he chose French Indochina, which is a very good place. It is easy to reach consensus with Germany. What's more, it is very far away from France. It is difficult to verify anything that happens there, so there can be enough The space in his hands allows the media in his hands to use his imagination wantonly.
So the French media began to publicize the appalling [Oriental Threat Theory], which is simply a modern revision of the [Theory] that year. Although it did not explicitly point out which country it was referring to, it was obvious that no one would send it to China. Think about it.
French Indochina was endowed by the French media with gorgeous titles such as "France's sacred territory in the East", "Overseas provinces not included in the establishment", "The brightest jewel of France's many treasures", and those " The dull, despicable, greedy, evil, and shameless "Eastern dwarfs tried to take advantage of this treasure. They also took advantage of the war between France and Germany, and tried to threaten France with force and abandon the Republic. The sovereignty of the land is simply the most direct offense and humiliation to the national dignity of the French Republic.
Now is the time to let those maggots realize that France is strong, and let them know that France's dignity is sacred and inviolable. Otherwise, French gentlemen would have any face to pretend to be heroes in front of other European women.
The French had few concepts about French Indochina before, and some only had a little understanding. In fact, they gave the French a map of the world. Among them, ninety percent of them couldn't point out that they were ugly.
They only know that the place is very far away from France, and it is not clear how it was obtained. It should probably seem like it was taken from the Chinese.
As for the remarks about the Japanese, no one in the French expressed suspicion. Didn't you see those greedy dwarfs still invading China?
Japanese politicians may have been dazzled by their victory in China, or thought that France had lost the European war and had lost the ability to support its own colonies, and faced a little threat of force. Will bow and kneel, really blind their monkey eyes.
The French Army conducted a general mobilization for the first time after the war. From the second batch of released prisoners, 20,000 well-trained officers and soldiers were selected and formed into eight new colonial infantry regiments. To tell the truth This figure is the limit that the Petain government’s current financial situation can bear. After all, the establishment of the local army to the upgrading of weapons and equipment, from the resumption of production in factories and mines to the reconstruction of cities and towns in post-war areas, all of these issues require a lot of money. Of money.
The French Ministry of War re-armed these people with legal weapons returned by Germany, and then stuffed them into the Normandy, which was transformed into a troop carrier. Under the **** of a cruiser and four destroyers, this super cruise ship was 25 knots The speed all the way to the east hurricane.
When this huge top tanker crossed the Singapore Strait and entered the South China Sea, the media in major Asian colonies were alarmed, so that when she arrived in Saigon, the pier was crowded to witness This grand occasion of newspaper reporters and celebrities almost burst the national pride of the local French diaspora.
This cruise ship is not only full of well-trained law teams, but also an investigation team of the French government. They were sent by the French parliament to investigate the so-called "treason" of the "former colonial governor". Earlier, many politicians in the country demanded that this “traitor” be sentenced to death for betraying the country’s trust, abusing the power given to him by the parliament, and tarnishing the sacred honor of the French Republic.
Betain, out of his own considerations, was unable to defend the poor scapegoat. Not only that, he still had to find a way to shut up the general so that he wouldn't say anything unfavorable to the government.
Although your Excellency the President thinks that he has no handle in the hands of the other party, because this is the appointment of the previous government, Petain also knows that there can be no chances on this issue, so from various angles, Carter General Lu was destined to lose his life in the far east.
Twenty thousand trained troops~IndoMTL.com~ all have good potatoes. The War Department is extremely generous in the distribution of equipment. In addition to ordinary military pay, each person can receive double overseas allowances.
These people are almost armed to the teeth, and the logistics ammunition is very sufficient. All officers and soldiers know that they are going to guard the colony, and they only exist as a deterrent. If the Japanese are mentally sound, they should retreat to their dens. stand up.
At this time, no one believed that a war would really break out, so the morale of the French army officers and soldiers was very high. When it comes to the Japanese people are gearing up, claiming to give the Japanese monkeys a taste.
These are not the infantry soldiers of the colonies who have only been sloppyly trained, but the regular army as the main force of national defense. In the face of this group of tiger wolves from mainland France, the people of French Indochina expressed their extreme welcome.
