Chapter 587: Battlefield of Public Opinion (17)(1/2)
"The hardworking Chinese people have developed the Daqing Oilfield, which has made China take off its hat as a poor country. As a technology and equipment partner, Rockefeller is proud to be able to participate in this great project and show that the Chinese people are working in their work
His perseverance and hard work expresses his admiration..."
Wu Youping looked at the National Daily's interview with Henry Yang, a representative of Rockefeller, and the appearance of this shrewd and middle-aged man appeared in his mind. Henry Yang's father was a Chinese American, and even in the era of the Chinese Exclusion Act, his father
He still married a German American and gave birth to three brothers. Henry Young is the second child, went to college in Massachusetts, and then worked for the Rockefeller Consortium. He is now a business representative of the Rockefeller Consortium in China.
According to news from the UK, the British government began to discuss the news that the pound would withdraw from the gold standard. At a time when the economic crisis was raging, countries began to consider withdrawing from the gold standard. Not only the UK is discussing, but the United States also had the same discussion. Only by withdrawing from the gold standard can we
Depreciate the currency and increase domestic exports.
While considering these things, the phone rang. Wu Youping saw that it was a red phone and his spirit was shocked. He picked up the phone, and opposite the earpiece was Lieutenant General Yu Cen's voice, "Prime Minister, the Vietnam uprising we predicted had erupted.
”
"Is there any more specific information?" Wu Youping asked. After asking, he was in a heavy mood. The specific outbreak of the uprising must have a special process, but the entire social background of the uprising was very simple and bright. The French were in China before 1924.
It's quite arrogant.
Until China's suicide attack plane sank a British squadron with battlecruisers as its flagship, and after the He Rui regime seized the Chinese regime at a destructive speed, France became humble, even in the French concession.
Officials and employees who violated Chinese laws were sentenced to death in court of He Rui's regime and fluttered in the wind on the gallows. The French government only issued a fierce statement without any practical actions.
When the Sino-British War broke out and the Chinese army repeatedly defeated the British army, the French government completely forgot that tens of thousands of French concessions were executed by the He Rui government. Instead, for international reputation, it began to exist as a country that mediated the Sino-British war.
And by mediating the Sino-British war, he gained a huge international reputation.
However, France only expressed friendship and respect for China, and their actions remained unchanged in the Indochina colony. In order to make more money, the French Indochina colony increased exports to China. Of course, the colonial government could not turn out of thin air.
For the goods used for trade, the increased export of goods will naturally be squeezed from the colonial people.
Taxes on agricultural products in the Indochina colony increased, and the colonial government forced the Vietnamese people to serve labor and work in newly opened plantations and mines. The export volume of rice, sugar, bauxite and coal increased significantly. Correspondingly, from China
The amount of imported light industrial products and refined oil has also increased significantly.
In summary, the rising trade between China and the French Indochina colonies was based on the exploitation of the Indochina people. The people in the colonies were just tools for France to obtain profits, not human rights. Hold this view
It is not just the French government, the British and American governments who have the same views. The Chinese government's views are completely different from those of these countries. Wu Youping has no positive view of colonialism at all.
On the other end of the phone, Lieutenant General Yu Cen replied: "Prime Minister, we will send someone to report to you."
"Well. Hurry up." Wu Youping replied. After putting down the phone, Wu Youping was very unhappy. He finally stood up, lit a cigarette, and stood at the office window and looked at the flower bed outside the window. Under the careful cultivation of the gardener, a plant was planted.
The beautiful rose tree is full of flowers, so beautiful that it makes people smile. But when Wu Youping thought that the war against colonial oppression was going on on the Chinese border, he couldn't let it go.
Finally, Wu Youping sat back into the chair, pinched the cigarette butt, lit another one, picked up the phone, hung the cigarette roll and said, "Check it out to the chairman's office."
Not long after, He Rui's voice rang out from the other end of the phone, "Hey?"
"Chairman, it's me! Wu Youping!" Wu Youping was ready to speak to He Rui.
"Haha, what makes you so excited?" He Rui on the other end of the phone said with a smile.
Wu Youping immediately told He Rui his emotions. If it were the past, Wu Youping would never tell He Rui his emotions, but this time Wu Youping really couldn't stand it. If he couldn't express his unhappiness, Wu Youping felt that he was going to be
Suffocated to death.
After listening to Wu Youping's story, He Rui's voice sounded a little more serious, "Is that the only one?"
After some venting, Wu Youping felt much more excited and calmed down. He felt helpless and asked in a low voice: "What should the Chairman be doing?"
He Rui replied straightforwardly: "It just so happened that the Speaker of the French Congress was coming soon. When I saw him, I would talk to him about this."
Wu Youping was stunned, and felt anxious about gains and losses. "Chairman, will this misunderstand the French side?"
Wu Youping thought He Rui would hesitate, but he didn't expect He Rui immediately replied: "Misunderstanding? What's the best misunderstanding! When Qin Shihuang annexed Vietnam, the grandfather of Caesar, who wrote the Gaul War, was just born! The Qing Dynasty admitted France
How many years has the sovereignty of Vietnam? We can't even speak? Youping, after the British spit out, they are now on the pole and want to replace the cooperation between France and us. Youping, even if you want to do so, even if you are not, you can't help but want to replace the cooperation between France and us.
From the perspective of cooperation, we have to ask the French, what kind of explanation is France going to give us?!"
Wu Youping was stunned and his vision suddenly blurred. The strong emotion made Wu Youping want to cry out loud. Finally, Wu Youping suppressed his sobs and tried to say in a calm voice: "Chairman, I want to meet you."
"Uh... the talk was finished before 8 o'clock in the evening." He Rui felt a little guilty. Although in another time and space, He Rui had played a heroic project like the Eight-Nation Alliance. But once things are involved in feelings, men are very happy.
It is easy to be at a disadvantage. Among intelligent organisms such as elephants, killer whales, hairless erectile apes, the matriarchy has been stable for at least a few million years, and the patriarchy has not been able to stand firm for one thousandth of the time.
There is a reason for this.
However, Wu Youping didn't think so much about it. He solved several things that had to be handled, so he went straight to He Rui's chairman's house. As soon as he met, Wu Youping said: "Chairman, I'm sure that colonialism must be eliminated."
"Of course, this backward system has no value in existence." He Rui expressed his support.
When the two sat down, Wu Youping immediately expressed his reflection, "Chairman, I will do a self-examination. I regard the economy as too important and almost forgot my original intention."
He Rui waved his hand, "China's liberation is based on economic development, and you have not forgotten your original intention. If you judge the nationalist sentiment that is emerging in the country now, you are already close to the line that can be killed in the world."
This is another annoying thing. When He Rui mentioned this question, Wu Youping couldn't help but smile bitterly. 15 years ago, a young man like Wu Youping took it as his responsibility to fight away foreign invaders no matter what, and restore China's sovereignty.
, they gathered under He Rui's banner. After arduous struggle, the long-cherished wish of those revolutionary young people was finally realized.
After China was liberated, a large number of new nationalists appeared. Wu Youping did not think that these young people were unpatriotic, but these people took the idea of "building China in the sun" and believed that a revival of China was necessary.
Gain the status of the Empire of the Sun never set.
As for what He Rui said, the new generation of nationalists may not necessarily like imperialism. If other imperialist countries in the world are eliminated by China, these new generation of nationalists in China are willing to implement more 'benevolent'. However,
Their primary goal is to eliminate other imperialist countries outside China, rather than imperialism. Wu Youping's concept, which is considered dove, is hated by the new generation of nationalist youth in China.
Wu Youping didn't want to defend himself, so he continued to ask about the French colony, "Chairman, I would like to ask, what should France do if we think we are plotting their colony?"
"I will tell the French first that we will undoubtedly annex the Indochina region. The French will understand my sincerity." He Rui replied frankly.
Wu Youping thought for a while and finally nodded. Now China-France cooperation is the lifeblood of France's economy, and Britain and the United States are very unhappy about it... Thinking of this, Wu Youping suddenly had a new idea, "Chairman, do you think the United Kingdom and the United States will be this time
The driver behind the Vietnam uprising?”
He Rui shook his head, "That's definitely not. Britain and the United States will not be the driving force behind the scenes, because the Vietnamese people will not accept the need to invite the British to be the new colonists after driving away France. But I believe that behind this incident,
The United Kingdom and the United States must take action. This is the topic I want to get to."
Just as He Rui was talking to Wu Youping, on the border between Thailand and Indochina colonies, several British people were sitting in long thatched houses by the river, using fans to drive away mosquitoes. The side of these thatched houses near the river were all
Several meters of bamboo were inserted into the mud at the bottom of the river, and a bamboo-paved trestle was built in the middle of the thick bamboo. As long as the ship was docked next to the trestle, the cargo on the ship could be moved to the trestle or the trestle.
The cargo was moved to the ship.
Thai workers were watching the river surface covered with tropical green duckweed on the edge of the pier, waiting for the small fleet to come to meet. After waiting for less than an hour, a small fleet appeared in the river bay in the distance.
The four rowers were wearing Vietnamese clothes, and the oars spread out the water and headed towards the dock.
When the fleet stopped beside the trestle, the British were already standing beside the trestle. The British had no enthusiasm on their faces, but were full of condescending expressions. Behind them, some servants from the Malayan region held their rifles tightly.
Staring at the people in Vietnamese outfits with sharp eyes.
When the Vietnamese people got ashore, they immediately saluted the British and said in broken French: "Thank you gentlemen for your support."
The British also replied in a less fluent French: "Don't make a mistake, we just want to sell some weapons for you. Have you brought the money?"
"Where is the weapon?" asked the Vietnamese people vigilantly.
The British raised their chins, and the Malayan servants next to them carried one of the boxes and opened them. The weapons wrapped in jute cloth made in India were exposed. There were several oily paper boxes next to them.
.The Vietnamese revolutionaries drew out their weapons, whether they were made from jute cloth from India, weapons inside, or cartons for bullets, all of which were greasy and smelled of pungent lard and tallow.
There was no problem with weapons and ammunition. The Vietnamese revolutionaries carefully took out a small purse that was close to their skin and took out a few gold coins inside. The British curled their lips, "It's not enough."
The other Vietnamese revolutionaries took out their wallets and took out a stack of Chinese Yuan banknotes from it. The British took the money and counted it, and then said, "You can check other weapons."
The asking price in the UK is not high, and it is not even cost-effective. However, the UK has a lot of experience in this kind of international messenger. At this stage, they can lose money to sell weapons, but they cannot avoid charging money. The trade model has been determined.
Only then can the Vietnamese revolutionaries who cannot get weapons from other places continue to get weapons from Britain.
As long as it can affect France's economic confidence, Britain has made a profit. In theory, it is no problem to give weapons for free. However, if you want Vietnamese people to continue fighting, Britain cannot give weapons for free. It has not reached that stage yet!
They can stand for hundreds of years because they know very well when to do what!
The transaction ended soon, and Vietnam received 120 rifles, 40 short guns, and 6,000 rounds at a very low price. The British looked cold, but they were actually praying for the Vietnamese revolutionaries in their hearts and looking forward to their every one.
Even a bullet can destroy a Frenchman.
As soon as the transaction ended, the British quickly left the trading site with Malayan minions and Thai aides. The Vietnamese revolutionaries also boarded the boat and immediately returned to their camp. The Vietnamese revolutionaries were very excited along the way, with 120 items.
The gun can arm 120 people, but it can pull up a team of at least 600 people. Especially those short guns can equip the revolutionaries in the city and launch an attack on some of the French police stations with weak defenses.
While chatting happily, a loud and loud sound came from a distance. The Vietnamese revolutionaries' faces changed. It was the sound of the French gunboat sailing on the water. Judging from the sound, the French gunboat will soon meet the fleet.
The leader immediately ordered: "Go ashore! Get ready for war!"
More than ten minutes later, a French patrol boat worth dozens of tons discovered several small boats on the shore. The boat was parked randomly in a river berth, with no one on it. This made the French army on the French patrol boat feel
It's wrong. A small boat is very important to the Vietnamese, and it is not near a village. It is absolutely impossible for a small boat to be unattended.
The patrol boat immediately slowed down, and the 20mm cannon on the ship and the machine gun shooter all pointed the muzzle at the woods next to it. After being so cautious, the French patrol boat slowly approached the few.
While the boat was in the woods, gunshots suddenly sounded.
The French soldiers did not hesitate and immediately started shooting at the position where the gunshots were heard. After less than 10 minutes of shooting, there was a sound in the jungle. The French officers and soldiers immediately understood that the Vietnamese revolutionaries began to escape. The patrol boat immediately landed on the dock.
French soldiers carried weapons and began to pursue.
Within an hour, the battle ended. Two people in France were slightly injured, three Vietnamese revolutionaries were killed, six were injured and captured, and a total of one rifle was seized. Other Vietnamese revolutionaries fled in
The forest.
