C302 The French Expedition Plan (1/2)

France, Versailles, Hall of Mirrors.

The palace maids and guards could not even remember how many times the emperor had been enraged. Ever since the news of the Besanthus had arrived, all of the maids and guards in the entire Versailles were on tenterhooks and did not even dare to breathe.

Napoleon III had already gone mad, all that accompanied him these past few days were angry roars and bottles of good wine. During this period of time, there was not a single trace of good news, and Government of France had suddenly turned into a broken house with air leaking from all directions.

Xiao Letian and his army had become the hero of their tragedy. They had saved the orphans in the fire, surgically removed the bayonets in the carriages, and the powerful media force had already turned these Chinese into the protagonists of this tragedy.

The people were simple, and they loved to watch the show. They would subconsciously differentiate between good and bad. Since Xiao Letian and the others were kind and wronged, then no matter how they explained, France would become the villain of the drama.

Emperor of France Napoleon III did not have a good reputation in the first place. His way to the throne was all deceit and suppression, using his uncle's prestige to win over the army.

In the eyes of the French, especially in the eyes of the supporters of the Revolution, Napoleon III was just like an executioner. And in the eyes of the Habsburg family, the Emperor of France was just a different breed of aristocrat, a warlord.

Fortunately, France did not suffer any losses during these years of war with the outside world. Thus, the prestige of the emperor was consolidated and the foundation of power was not shaken. However, what was sitting on his butt was not an extinct volcano, but an active volcano. As long as the army he relied on became slightly weaker, his opponents at home and abroad would definitely move against him.

Now, the appearance of the East Asian political star is like a wedge nailed into a fractured dam, giving signs of a collapse to the stressed dam.

”Betrayal, betrayal, all of you have betrayed me! All the hypocrites and criminals in Europe had joined forces. They were fighting a war against the France … Now, even my most trusted Attendant betrayed me and replied to my question. Who did you send to the order I asked you to give half a month ago? ”

Inside the Hall of Mirrors, there was the sound of something being smashed. Amidst the mess stood the Attendant who had his head smashed into pieces previously, and right now, he was almost kneeling in front of the two of them.

”Your Majesty … Just listen to my explanation, I am not betraying you, but I hope that you can remain calm. Without the help of the British Navy, our little fleet in Asia would not be enough … ”

”There are only 10 battleships that French India can dispatch now, of which only the main battleship are pitiful. If something were to happen to the expedition, then our colonies in Asia would really become stripped eggs …”

”Shut up!” Napoleon was like a furious lion, he even took out his gun from his desk and pointed it at Attendant's head: ”I am the ruler of France, I am the emperor, I do not need you to teach me how to fight!”

His fingers were trembling, and his eyes were bloodshot. ”Seeing that you've been following me for so many years, I'll give you one last chance. Send the order immediately, then you can go to China. I'll appoint you as the commander of the fleet …”

”If it is as you expected, we have failed... ”At that time, I will consider bypassing your life …”

The leader of the guards was trembling, the black muzzle of his gun was pressed against his forehead, he knew that it would be difficult to persuade the emperor otherwise, ”Yes, your majesty the emperor, I will head to the Sinai Peninsula now, and head to Asia immediately …”

Before he could finish his sentence, the door to the Hall of Mirrors suddenly opened and a servant stormed in. ”Your Majesty …” The Queen rejected our request. The Royal Navy is neutral, they won't fight. They won't even fight … ”

Before he finished shouting, there was the sound of a gunshot. The electric newspaper in the guard's hand had been penetrated by the bullet, causing his face to turn extremely pale.

”Hahaha, betrayal, it's all betrayal. Even the British betrayed me. The deep friendship we built in the battle of the Crimean War and the Qing Dynasty was all in vain. At the crucial moment, the British also chose to laugh at me … ”These bastards of the Habsburg family have never even looked at me …”

At this time, Napoleon III was so angry that he had lost his calm. He put away the spear and walked back to his desk, and even organized the books and documents in front of him simply.

”The plan doesn't change. My dear Guard Captain, go to Asia. This battle of punishments must be carried out … As for your suggestion, I'll only take half of it. In this war of punishments, we will not send the army, but the navy will do it alone … Fire, ruthlessly bomb, and blow Ryukyu back into the primitive society … ”

”After that, the battleship will head north to find trouble with the Qing people. Don't tell me Xiao Letian isn't Chinese, don't use such a childish scam in front of me … ”Whether it's the war reparations or the opening of a new port, you will have to discuss it with the Chinese minister …”

His Majesty then turned to look at the pale-faced servant, ”Go call the chief of staff. We must take revenge on Prussia. Even if we cannot declare war directly, we need a large amount of armed troops from the Austria …”

”Go and contact Austria Bei Naidekejiangjun. I believe in his strength, and ask him what he needs. As long as we, France, can provide it, we will not hold grudges …”

When Attendant saw the emperor's resolute gaze, he knew that there was nothing he could do. The two of them bowed to the emperor and left the Hall of Mirrors in a flash.

”So what if the whole of Europe is against me? Our France's army is invincible, as long as we have the strength, I am not afraid of Britain. ”After Prussia is defeated, let's see how I deal with them!”
