3425 The transfer of power is difficult!
The light of hope lit up in the eyes of the boss's governor, and only the army can support him. The five thousand French troops in Saigon are already the last gathering of Quan'an's southern troops, while the enemy only has three thousand...
At that moment, the baron's evil thoughts suddenly arose. He even wanted these five thousand people to eat the three thousand in front of him!
Xiao Hexin understood the opponent's thoughts, and he sighed, "Save effort! Napoleon III's local elites have completely failed, do you still want to resist stubbornly?"
"You have only 42 artillery guns in total, and the oldest bronze Napoleon cannon... You should have received the war report from Europe. What was your cannon like in the French-Prussian War? Do you still need to say it?"
"I brought a total of thirty cannons this time, and the number is not large... But I'm sorry, all of them are Krupp's rear-mounted cannons used during the Franco-Prussian War!"
"You want to fight? Do you want to fight? I haven't counted the warships on the Mekong River? Do you want to count the number of cannons on the warships?"
After saying something, the Frenchman's face pale, and the old baron shivered his lips, "You are lying! How could the cannon that the Prussians just popularized to you?"
"How many of them themselves have? How could they sell you thirty doors in one go?"
Not to mention, this kind of suspicion is really reasonable, because at the end of the 19th century, cannons were national-level strategic weapons, and many arms transactions did not include cannons.
Europeans can give it to other nations, but of course they have to be the same as those who have the same pre-installed guns in one era!
However, things like cannons are rarely sold, especially the latest cannons that have just been interviewed and received the baptism of war!
Because Europeans themselves are not enough, they cannot give it to you for foreigners first, and in addition, they are not willing to make weapons in a timely manner, so they will not sell it.
The governor has been away from Europe for a long time, and he has no idea about this Franco-Prussian war. He has no idea how deep the cooperation between the Chinese and Germany is.
In fact, after the battle ended, the Prussian army quickly "eliminated" a batch of 70% of the new artillery and sold it to Xiao Letian at a discount.
The ones who followed the cargo ship back to Asia were not just the antiques one after another, but there were cannons hidden in the antiques!
In Xiao Letian's eyes, this level of arms transaction is actually no less than the strategic arms transactions of later generations. Although in the eyes of people in the 21st century, they are just a few cannons.
However, this rear-mounted Krupp steel cannon, which was more than ten years ahead of other countries, has become the key to the victory of the French-Popular Battle, and is an epoch-making weapon that can completely turn the situation around.
The cannon eats shells from his mouth and upgrades to stuffing shells from his butt. This is really an epoch-making innovation!
With Xiao Hexin's order, the new army quickly arranged artillery shooting positions in the open area in front of the main gate of Norodom Palace. One murderous cannon after another aimed at the approaching French army. The commanders of the French army opposite were stunned and involuntarily stopped the army's advance.
The French had never expected this to be a quarrel before. They mobilized soldiers out of the barracks in a hurry, but they didn't have time to mobilize cannons. Some soldiers even carried only three or four bullets.
This temporary unit is actually here to scare people, and it is no different from the underworld that can cause people to shock the situation!
But Xiao Hexin was well prepared. As the artillery was transported ashore, boxes of shells were packed into the cannons. The crowbar pried open the wooden box in front of the old baron. The metallic shells shining between the straw and sawdust were loaded into the cannon chamber.
"No...no, no...no...is a misunderstanding..." Even though the old baron had never seen such a weapon, he could still feel his power based on his appearance.
When he saw that the Chinese were really coming, he immediately softened!
"General Xiao Hexin! I have no intention of going to war with you. My soldiers are just here to maintain order. They do not carry artillery, or even bullets..."
"I can swear to God that I will accept the decisions made by the National Assembly!"
"That's good! Since that's the case, there are two conditions. The first is the various information I want, and the second is your withdrawal timetable!"
The transfer of power is not that simple. A ceremony to raise the flag? The two sides exchange documents? Then sign the letter and everything will be fine?
Wrong! The most important thing in the handover of power is to exchange information. In ancient times, it was called household registration book!
This is the most valuable thing. If you take all the household registration details and original files, the new government can rule the people according to the map.
The most accurate map marks the location of the country road, which ensures that the government orders can be issued smoothly and ensures that the army can operate.
There are also rivers and hydrological materials that the navy urgently needs!
Wherever there are reefs, wherever there are turbulent flows, what is the depth of the water in different areas... How many meters are the water level lines in the abundance period of rivers and the dry water period!
Modern warfare is already a science, and it emphasizes data improvement. These basic materials are priceless treasures. If the French do not hand over it, it will take at least three or four years to find out if the Chinese people themselves.
Xiao Hexin was unwilling to waste three or four years of taking the science exam, so he had to put on an aggressive stance and take these treasures over!
Xiao Hexin looked at the French army around him and the terrified Saigon citizens, and said proudly, "French soldiers! I know you are very dissatisfied, and I also know that your governor even made plans to fight us!"
"But I regret to tell everyone, don't play with fire, be careful!"
"Soldiers, do you miss home? Do you want to know what France has become now? What you have learned before is nothing more than a glimpse of the glimpse!"
"Actually, France's internal and external troubles have completely collapsed! Don't you believe it? It's really a pity that the European information you learned has been consciously screened!"
Xiao Letian calmly gave a speech to the French garrison in Saigon, and more than a dozen French translations were beginning to translate at once.
Although it is not guaranteed that all the five thousand French troops can hear it, officers at all levels at the forefront of the army can still hear it clearly!
"I don't need to talk nonsense about the outcome of the Franco-Prussian War. You know how miserable the civil war in the Paris Commune afterwards was!"
"But now, don't think that the Frankfurt Treaty has been signed and the Paris Commune has been suppressed, and you will be fine once and for all!"
"That's a dream! France is now completely in civil strife, and your president is almost unable to do it!"
"Tiyele is almost impeached and stepped down. Do you still want to bring a new war to the country?"
