For France, Vietnam is not just a country. The French call this region an Indochina colony. Putting aside the traditional colony of the Bay of Bengal, France's colonies in Southeast Asia include Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

These three areas are no different from the French. The administrative capital is located in Saigon, the estuary of the Mekong River.

In fact, there is no other place to choose. The European colonization world takes oceans and rivers as important nodes.

First, there must be an excellent deep-water port that can moor large-tonnage ships, and a wide river estuary, so that warships can fight inland along the river.

The axiom is only within the range of the cannon. This sentence is not a slogan but a real colonial method. The range of the naval gun was the control line for the colonists to draw maps in that era.

If you control the coastline and then the river basin, you will basically control the richest areas. Even if the remaining remote areas want to resist, they will not raise much money, and will not receive support from the outside world.

A Mekong River flows through three countries, so these three countries are all within the firepower range of the French Marine Corps, so naturally they are the same colony.

This is a very fertile land, and the impact plain here is known as the world's rice warehouse!

But it is so precious that the colony that was finally stolen from the British, but today it was abandoned by the French government!

When the Baron received this order, he subconsciously thought that it was false information and that it was life-threatening!

The furious Baron had a fierce conflict with the special envoy from Paris. The two sides even grabbed the collars and started a fight. The special envoy was Thierre, who accepted his fate, but the Baron was appointed by Emperor Napoleon III. It was not in the same camp itself. Both sides originally disliked each other.

If the British captain hadn't pulled the frame in time, the two of them would have been broken!

Before leaving, the British captain who was not interested in the fun, he left a sarcastic saying, "No matter what your fight is like, the problem will always be solved!"

"Now Luzon Island has been completely captured by the Chinese, the Spaniards have been defeated, and more than 100,000 Chinese troops are waiting for the battle. Do you really want to be cannon fodder?"

"I am frank, you no longer have fleets in the South China Sea, and the army only has five thousand people..."

"We still have the courage!" The old baron shouted at the British captain, and spitted on the captain's face.

"We still have courage and glory! The warriors of the Five Thousand Empires will stick to Saigon until they die in battle! We will definitely stick to the reinforcements when they arrive!"

"I don't believe that the Empire will abandon such a rich colony. I firmly believe that His Majesty the Emperor will be able to restore the empire! Long live the empire!"

Crazy, this old baron is really crazy. While wiping the saliva on his face with a handkerchief, the British captain kept scolding the old madman in his heart.

"Okay, okay... I won't argue with you. Anyway, my mission is to escort the envoy to Saigon. My mission has been completed. So, Mr. Envoy, when will you return to China?"

"I made an agreement in advance, I can't wait for you for long. I will only stay here for three days..."

"I'll leave tomorrow!" The envoy shouted angrily, "You madman, you have to remember that the empire has perished, Napoleon III, the Franco-Prussian War was completely defeated, and a civil war broke out in Paris!"

"The enemy's army has occupied our land. The most important thing now is to calm down the domestic situation, rather than increase troops to Asia!"

"But before I leave, I would like to remind you that if you refuse to execute the president's orders and refuse to implement the voting decisions of the National Assembly... then you will bear all the sins of angering the Chinese people yourself!"

"I hope you are calm and don't cause trouble for the motherland anymore! We have lost enough things. Do you have to fight another Saigon battle with the Chinese?"

"At that time, you are the prisoners, and the motherland will have to spend money to redeem it! Leave some vitality to France!"

The words of the British captain and the envoy made the old baron aged ten years, and he could no longer hold on to his tears and choked up like a child.

The British captain suddenly felt a feeling of sadness in his heart. It was all Europeans who suffered such a big loss in Asia that they were really happy.

Although he really hopes that France will be unlucky, it is indeed a bit shameful to be in the hands of the Chinese!

"Dear Governor, this war is not a crime. In fact, you French people have fought very hard... You... you lost in politics and diplomacy!"

"I heard from India... Xiao Letian is as cunning as a fox. He has figured out the details of European countries. His debate ability is even very scared by our most experienced politicians in Britain!"

"That's a natural conspirator who can always stab a opponent when he's weakest!"

"I would like to advise the governor from the standpoint of Europeans... That Xiao Letian is probably waiting for you to resist. If you have another war here, I think France will lose more!"

"Failure is a very frustrating and painful experience... But the ending of this failure must be recognized, because the opponent creates a situation where you will lose more if you don't admit defeat!"

"Oh... the Paris Commune alone has turned your France together. You should really go back to China and see it with your own eyes..."

That night, the British captain and the envoy patiently chatted with the governor for a long time. The governor who had not returned to Paris for five years only knew what was happening in the motherland.

This chaotic war! It was a disaster from the beginning!

The French governor accepted the order of the special envoy, and he finally recognized the new president elected by the National Assembly and accepted the order of the president.

There are special envoys sent by Xiao Hexin a long time ago in Saigon City. After negotiations, the two sides decided to hold a power handover ceremony in October!

Norodon Palace! It is the French Governor's Palace in Saigon! This small white building was renamed the Independence Palace by Vietnam after World War II. After the Vietnamese civil war, North Vietnam captured Saigon. This historic palace was renamed the Unification Palace again and has always been a famous attraction in Saigon.

Now that the main building has just been built, many of the annexes on the design drawings, such as gardens, swimming pools, equestrian training grounds, etc., have not started to be built.

But unfortunately, this magnificent four-story white palace has become the administrative center for the Chinese to rule the Annan region in the future.

The regime settlement ceremony between the two sides is here!

As the left-behind minister appointed by the head of state, Xiao Hexin brought three thousand Marines into the mouth of the Mekong River under the protection of ten warships.

The local natives in Vietnam looked at the neighbors from the north entering the border with such a powerful and powerful look, and their eyes were very complicated!

These people under the rule of the Ruan royal family have always been wary of the powerful neighbors in the north. Deep in their hearts, they always fantasize that the enemy in the north will invade a large-scale day.

But unexpectedly, before the invaders in the north waited for the French colonial army!

What is even more unexpected is that in just a few years, the Chinese in the East China Sea suddenly defeated these French people and landed from the southern part of Vietnam!

The loyal ministers and filial sons left by the Ruan Dynasty were all mourning and criticized, and despair appeared in their hearts!
