Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

So desperation de Gaulle had no choice but to notify the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the proposal first, and prepared to hand it over to the Senate that afternoon for approval.

At noon, the British reply came, and Churchill set out the conditions of the British: "Only when the French fleet sails into the British port before the armistice negotiations, the British government will agree to the French government to inquire about the terms of the armistice." Of course, this telegram was heavy. Hit de Gaulle because he knew it.This request of the United Kingdom will not get Darlan's consent in the first place.This also means that it is impossible to get its ally, Britain, to agree to armistice negotiations between France and China.

At 1 p.m., the Senate meeting officially began.The meeting had just started, before everyone could sit still, Petain stood up.

"I have decided to resign as the current Minister of Defense!" Petain said coldly to everyone present.As soon as his words came out, a heavy bomb was dropped in the entire parliament. Everyone stopped talking and looked at this respected old man quietly.

"Hmm! I don't want to hold any more office in this hopeless government. I don't want to live a lingering life in a government that's about to abandon all its people and leave France itself. I don't want to pander to those belligerents." Molecules and despicable politicians ruined the whole country for their own selfishness. So I am going to leave, France must be self-reliant and must not rely on foreign countries!" After hearing this passage, everyone knew that the old man had started to act.He began a showdown with de Gaulle and Prime Minister Renault.

After Petain dropped the bombshell, de Gaulle had to order an adjournment.Then several people discussed the current issue of Petain, but no results were reached.

When the meeting continued at 5 p.m., Renault suddenly announced the request for the establishment of the British-French special alliance. This special alliance is actually transformed from two countries into one country to jointly fight against China.But what happened next was far beyond Renault's expectations.The proposal to form an Anglo-French alliance was immediately opposed by almost everyone.Most cabinet members believe that this plan is to reduce France to a status similar to that of an autonomous dominion, and to completely reduce France to a second-rate country. This is absolutely not allowed by the proud French.

Even Mandel, who has always supported Renault, questioned his comrades loudly: "For us, defeat and surrender can at least guarantee that France is a sovereign country, and if it merges with the United Kingdom, we can only be an overseas dominion of the United Kingdom. , is equivalent to Australia. Are we going to put the proud French crown on the head of the British king?"

Hearing this, Renault was completely desperate. He said in his final speech: "I have suffered a complete setback. This is the biggest disappointment in my life."

Chaudan once again took the opportunity to put forward his proposal, but the frustrated Renault simply replied that Britain refused to end the alliance obligations with France, and he was too lazy to repeat the content of the telegram sent by Britain.

At 6 p.m., a telegram came from General George.Telegram briefly explained the dire situation.It was difficult for troops to move because of blocked roads and bombed railways and bridges.From the present point of view, a decision has been absolutely necessary.This bad news from the front completely broke the tired Renault.The opposition of each member to the Anglo-French alliance left the French prime minister feeling alienated.He feels he is no longer able to lead a government without the support of a majority of cabinet members.So he announced another adjournment.After that, he was disheartened.Offered his resignation to the French President: "I propose that Marshal Pétain form a new cabinet in order to achieve the truce he has always advocated."

Hearing Lei Nuo's words, the cabinet members were all dumbfounded.Those ministers who supported Reynaud were particularly angry that, for their part, Reynaud had taken the decision, which affected all cabinet members, without any consultation with them.Everyone is incredible.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, de Gaulle called Petain to his office.He simply congratulated the old man on becoming the new prime minister and asked him to start forming a cabinet immediately.However, to everyone's surprise, Petain immediately opened the file package and took out a list: "This is my government."

De Gaulle was surprised and pleased when he heard the news, and he said happily: "I remember how difficult it was to form a new government during my tenure as president, and it usually took three or four days to finalize it." , but this time, you only took 1 minute. That's great."

In this short period of 1 minute, the 107th and final government of the French Third Republic came into being in the shortest time in history.

Just before midnight, the new cabinet held its first meeting.Petain introduced the entire cabinet for 30 minutes, and then the meeting quickly passed the official communiqué on the government reshuffle, which was to be published in the morning papers.Subsequently, the new French general government took less time than reading this brief official communique to make the following decision: the French government should ask the Chinese government to put forward conditions for the cessation of hostilities between the two sides.

The ministers agreed, and they assigned Baudouin to seek the terms of an armistice from China through the Spanish ambassador.

The history of France will turn a dark page.

Not long after receiving the news, at the invitation of Guan Xuqing, Kaiser Wilhelm II flew to Beijing urgently, and the two countries held a formal meeting in the Zhengda Guangming Hall of the Old Summer Palace.

This was the first official meeting between the two giants since the formation of the German Fourth Reich.However, compared with the powerful William II before World War I, this time, facing the powerful Chinese emperor, he took the initiative to lower himself to a subordinate position.

China almost single-handedly went out to win; after some calm analysis, William II also knew that this meeting was nothing more than asking him to obey the decision of the Chinese emperor.So he carefully put forward Germany's request. Germany needs the northern mountains of France as its own territory.In addition, all French islands in the Mediterranean including Saint-Naille and Corsica are required, as well as all French colonies around the Mediterranean. "

But what surprised William II was that Guan Xuqing rejected his request.

"I decided to make peace. I don't need to occupy all of France. I just ask France to stop the war with us, and take back the land and status we want by the way."

Who rules the ups and downs: The Third World War (Closed Volume) Chapter 230 and Three Heroes Make the Times

After a pause, Guan Xuqing continued: "As for Germany, I think it's better to reconsider the current issue. You should start from the overall situation and don't think about those unrealistic things."

Hearing that the other party was magnanimous to seek peace from France, everyone present was shocked.Then Guan Xuqing continued to speak: "I think we should make some reservations about whether it is advisable to destroy the British Empire. I personally think that even today, preserving Britain's interests in the world is in line with our requirements. This is still important for maintaining the balance of power in the world. It’s an important factor.” At this point, he turned around and said to the Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang who just came in: “I firmly support your suggestion of negotiating peace with France on lenient terms, and I don’t need to suppress France too much. Because they It is not in our interest. However, certain claims must be fought for. Because we are the victorious nation, and we have made great efforts to obtain them. If you don't get something back, then you are really sorry to the people of the empire. You Go there first, ask the French what they want, and then bring over the French terms. Then come up with our plan." He waved his hand and said lightly: "Okay, you can go to your business."

The next thing was much easier to handle. Although William II repeatedly raised objections, Guan Xuqing remained unmoved.Because now, Guan Xuqing knows that he is a gambler who has won a lot of money, and this kind of adventure is not worth taking again and again.

William II wrote in his diary. "Today, he (Guan Xuqing) spoke with reservations, and when he met with us, he was very alert. After such a big victory, it is surprising that he said that. People can't accuse me of He's too gentle, but I do admire him, really admire him."

After six hours of negotiations, Guan Xuqing and William II finally reached a verbal agreement.

China will negotiate with France first.The negotiation stipulates that France will not be divided, and France will not be asked for too many overseas colonies and land.In addition to obtaining the right to build overseas military bases in France, China only obtained priority land use rights for a part of the Flanders Plain.Peace talks between Germany and France will follow later.

Guan Xuqing especially warned William II that the peace treaty should not be too harsh, especially not to make too many demands on the French mainland and the Mediterranean colonies.In addition, the territory acquired by Germany in mainland France should be based on the actual demarcation line of Germany before the armistice.

To commemorate this great day, Guan Xuqing and William II also held a special ceremony.The two parties jointly signed the postcard and affixed the local postmark and time as a souvenir of the meeting.

Interestingly, on a postcard of the scenery of southern France, William II wrote a delicate inscription on a postcard of the Alps: "The times make heroes!" Guan Xuqing wrote in a vigorous style: " Heroes make the times!"

Paris France.

"Is it here?" Chiang Kai-shek pointed to a red brick building next to the Retonde station in the Compiègne Forest in the north of Paris, France, and asked in a low voice the French Paris Gendarmerie Commander Danz who was next to him as a guide.

"Yes!" Danz lowered his head and nodded slightly, obviously extremely reluctant to this matter.

"Then let's start!" Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly to Zhang Xuesi who was standing beside him.

"Okay!" Zhang Xuesi immediately rubbed his hands together, and then waved his hand, "Soldiers, break down the wall for me!"

The assault engineers of the Dragon Army took out their shovels and pickaxes one after another.Soon the red wall came crashing down.

A gray train appeared in front of everyone, and on the body of the carriage there was a huge eagle on a laurel wreath, which was the symbol of Napoleon I.

"Did the Chinese sign the Supplementary Clauses of the Treaty of Tianjin here?" Chiang Kai-shek waved his horsewhip, pointing to the train carriages that had become somewhat dilapidated due to time and poor maintenance. At this time, he looked very arrogant.

"Yes. It is here that we signed a peace agreement with the Chinese representative." Danz carefully explained.

"That's right." Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly, and said to Zhang Xuesi: "Drag him out, overhaul him, and then drag him to the original place."

"Understood!" Zhang Xuesi nodded, "Then what about this house?" He pointed to the house without a wall in front of everyone.

"It exploded!" Chiang Kai-shek said lightly, with no expression on his face.

On June 6, the peace talks venue in the Compiègne Forest had begun to take shape.After Guan Xuqing flew to Paris, he ordered the place for Sino-French negotiations to be in the carriage where China and France signed the armistice agreement during the Opium War.

The boulevard leading to the "ceasefire site" has also been partially repaired, the cement road has been repaired, and the French Victory Monument near the roadside has also been covered with a five-clawed golden dragon flag.Beside Lin*, Chiang Kai-shek specially arranged a company of guards of honor and a military band, and set up clerical offices, telephone switchboard defenses and wireless sending stations in tents in the surrounding forest.

At noon that day, Guan Xuqing and his accompanying officials drove to Compiègne.At 1 p.m., the long convoy arrived at its destination.At this time, Guan Xuqing had a serious face and solemn actions. He walked briskly towards the dining car step by step.He stopped in front of a granite stone, looked at the words on the tablet and read aloud: "On January 1960, 1, the ancient autocratic oriental country was destroyed by French iron cannons, and its sinful pride succumbed here. "

Chiang Kai-shek stood quietly next to the emperor at this time.Quietly watching the emperor's expression.The face was very familiar.During many important moments such as the Imperial Parade, such a solemn expression appeared on his face.But today his face has a little more meaning, showing contempt, generosity, hatred, revenge and triumph.

Just when Chiang Kai-shek was stunned, the emperor began to mutter: "We will destroy everything that can remind people of that shameful day in 1960, and we must destroy everything!"

After speaking, he suddenly called out: "Chiang Kai-shek!"

"Here!" Chiang Kai-shek was taken aback. He quickly walked to the emperor's side, bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Blow this up for me!" Guan Xuqing said, pointing to the inscription.After a few seconds, he continued, "Put another monument next to this monument. It says: On June 1926, 6, the Chinese Empire rose again here. France completely surrendered... No!" Before Chiang Kai-shek agreed, Guan Xuqing waved his hand immediately, "Forget it, don't write about that, just write about the surrender of the French army to the Long army, 24."

Then, near the venue, Guan Xuqing held a simple military parade.A company of soldiers was inspected by the emperor.This unit comes from the [-]st Battalion and [-]st Company of the Grenadier Regiment of the Panzergrenadier Division.When the emperor passed by, the soldiers present lined up to salute their supreme commander with guns, and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Guan Xuqing waved back the salute.Although the whole scene is small, it is quite spectacular.

After the inspection was over, Guan Xuqing and his men rushed into the train that had already been prepared.In that dilapidated dining car, a long table had already been set up, with five or six chairs on each side for the delegations of both sides to sit on.Feng Xianghua, Guan Xuqing's right-hand man, stood at the head so as to hear the conversation between the two sides.After Guan Xuqing took his seat beside his interpreter, Liang Qichao, Zaifeng, Wu Tingfang, Gu Weijun, Xu Shichang and Zhang Zuolin took their seats respectively, and then Chiang Kai-shek also sat down.

Around 2:[-], the French delegation showed up.The head of the delegation was General Henchger from the military, and the members included General Parisot from the Army, General Bergeret from the Air Force, Vice Admiral Le Luc and Ambassador Knoll.

Soon, the French delegation got off the car at the entrance of the boulevard. They passed the covered Victory Monument and the guard of honor, and slowly got on the carriage.When the delegation came in, they still wore the look of surprise on their faces when they heard where the negotiations would be held.However, Guan Xuqing didn't show any expression, he stood up from his seat silently.The French stopped in panic.They did not expect to meet all key members of the Chinese government and military.Guan Xuqing stretched out his hands, made a posture of pressing down, and asked them to sit down with a short gesture.

The French representatives sat down after bowing to the Chinese emperor.After a while between the two sides, Feng Xianghua first read the preface of the armistice agreement.He stood up slowly, and began to read the preamble of the agreement in a leisurely manner.

While Feng Xianghua was spitting and reading out his compliments to the emperor, Chiang Kai-shek was in a daze.in his eyes.The French and Chinese on both sides looked at each other blankly, like wax figures.

At this time, Feng Xianghua had almost finished his nonsense, and he began to quote the emperor's words: "China has no intention of slandering such a heroic enemy on peaceful terms. The purpose of China's request is to prevent the recurrence of hostilities. To enable China to continue her obligatory war with the British, and to create the conditions for a new peace, to correct the injustice imposed on the Chinese Empire by the Western powers..."
