Chapter 196: The Death of France
The situation of the Battle of Windsor Harbor spread throughout the world with the radio waves, and the powerful French navy suffered a heavy blow in humiliation. The stock markets of NATO countries such as Paris and New York plummeted, not to mention the bond markets closely related to the war. No one dared to buy war bonds issued by NATO countries.
The news spread in the Qing Dynasty. The French Concession, which had just been separated from the Shanghai Public Concession, plummeted. French merchants who were afraid of the brutal revenge of the Qing Dynasty, jumped off buildings and sold them away from the dangerous land of the World Trade Country. Xu Run, the nephew of Xu Rong Village, saw the business opportunities of real estate and obtained from his uncle that the current government could not carry out a major purge of foreigners. He borrowed money to acquire a large amount of real estate in the French Concession and became a tycoon.
As expected, the Qing government later appeased French businessmen through the Qing Dynasty News, saying that the Qing Dynasty was moving towards commercial civilization, that war was a matter between countries, and business was a matter for civilians. The Qing Dynasty would even implement the previous compensation in accordance with the Sino-French treaty, and it would not be too late to reach a new agreement and then collect it.
Yes, the confident Qing government, okay, the land price has slowly risen again, and Xu Tuhao's profits are overflowing.
The most dramatic scene appeared in Italy. Their emperor won a great victory, and Italy even lowered half a flag to express his grief to the dead soldiers of the enemy country. It was unheard of. Some Italians even danced happily with black ribbons. The good thing that was originally a respect for the enemy turned into a mocking French people. The newspaper published such photos, which made the French extremely angry.
The French took to the streets spontaneously, holding a banner of "Boycotting Italian goods", calling on the people of the whole country to unite and not buy any products from the Windsor consortium. Do not use their telegraph machines, cars, lights, refrigerators, washing machines, fans, avoidance-clothing, black silks, hospitals...
Marseille, a harbor city with a large number of sailors, was the first to have a vicious robbery and looting incident. The thugs rushed into stores, car stores, ice cream shops and other places that sold Windsor consortium goods, robbed and beat employees mainly from France. Later, this bad behavior spread to major cities such as Paris, Lyon, Toulouse, and Nice.
The Windsor Consortium suffered heavy losses in France and had to end all business activities, even the power supply stopped. France was trapped in a dark world, which was seen by the French as a more serious hostile act. Many of the Windsor Consortium employees were British, and they angrily demanded that their motherland protect them.
Even the Times, which has always been anti-Windsor, said that "the French are all crazy."
The French emperor called on the people to remain calm, but his authority as the emperor has already suffered great losses in the completely failed war. It would be fine if he didn't come forward. As soon as he came out, some of the people in the march even shouted "The emperor stepped down" "You are not Napoleon, and you are not worthy of being our emperor!"
Third life encountered a crisis of ruling. (Please visit the latest chapter reading) His queen also complained, "I told you not to go to war with Tang Ning. He is such a powerful genius that no one can see through. He was so difficult when he had no political identity. Now he is also an emperor, and only God can deal with him."
The couple had a serious disagreement and quarreled, but Eugenie left Paris in anger and said, "I don't want to see your miserable end!" Eugenie really left, and even left France. She thought that the French Emperor was finished, the French Empire was finished, and her queen had come to an end. What the French do now will only completely anger Emperor Windsor.
The Dutch and Russians were stunned when discussing with the French yy media where to imprison the Windsor Emperor. The East India Company is so good now that it is too hard to take it out. The Netherlands thought, it’s over, let’s talk about New Guinea Island, and the whole of Indonesia is probably hanging. There are also many Malays, Chinese, similar to Malaya. Maybe Downing had long had the ambition to unify the Malay Islands.
All the weak Russian fleets in Vladivostok were fluctuating, and the powerful French Mediterranean fleet was wiped out. Isn’t it like fighting the Russian fleet in the Far East? The Russian army, which was already defeated by the Japanese army on Sakhalin Island, decided to withdraw from Sakhalin Island in full and defend Vladivostok to the end. Of course, their good days were really over. Since Shi Dakai and Li Xiucheng still obeyed the orders of the court and withstood the test, the court had decided to assemble a small number of world-famous guns to their elite troops: fn-1855.
A high-grade highway from Beijing to Ulaanbaatar is under construction, using large, heavy construction machinery that was idle from the Suez Canal, as well as prefabricated fast cement paving technology. From this road, a direct connection to Dayuz (southern Kazakhstan, the territory of the Qing Dynasty). When these two routes are connected and war resources can easily reach Ulaanbaatar and Dayuz, the Russian occupied Zhongyuz, Xiaoyuz, and the city of Irkutsk on the Baikal Lakeside City will be seriously threatened. Once these two strategic areas are lost, it means that the vast land of the entire Siberian of the Russian Empire will be cut, which means that Russia's national disaster.
Such a shocking victory in the world made everyone forget a big thing for a moment - the opening of the Suez Canal. A voyage from the Port of London, England or the Port of Marseille in France to the Port of Mumbai, India can be shortened by 43% and 56% of the total voyage compared to the Cape of Good Hope. It is shortened by 5,500-8,009 kilometers from countries along the Atlantic coast of Europe to the Indian Ocean; it is shortened by 8,000-10,000 kilometers from countries along the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean; it is shortened by 12,000 kilometers from countries along the Black Sea.
Judging from the current Eurasian trade volume, it is more profitable than the Panama Canal, two to three times the traffic volume of the Panama Canal, and it is very likely that France's shares will become trophy. The city and fortress named "Windsor" are not soft persimmons that can be controlled by others. The French have profoundly reminded people of this fact.
With the power to eliminate the French mediterranean fleet, Downing decided to control the opium trade through the Suez Canal and once again let the Labor Party propose a bill to restrict opium in the British Parliament. However, this is useless. The current global opium trade is mainly sold to the fallen people of the Qing Dynasty, especially officials. So there is a more ruthless move. If the UK does not pass the opium restriction bill in one day, the Suez Canal will also impose high tolls on British merchants!
Some people wonder, isn't India the final decision? Why do we have to involve Britain? Because restricting opium is a relatively important legislation, which involves the highest judicial power of the British House of Lords over India. Otherwise, Downing would have issued relevant laws in India long ago, and the people of Jardine Mahjong were not just for a good meal and have been trying to win over the nobles of the Judicial Committee of the British House of Lords. Therefore, India has not successfully formulated an opium restriction law so far.
To date, the British political circle is still dominated by absolute free trade ideas, so it is easy to restrict other countries' goods, and it is quite difficult to restrict their own trade, even if there is reliable evidence to prove the side effects of opium.
The British government owns one-third of the stocks in the Suez Canal, but the problem is that Downing has announced that due to war, that third of France has been temporarily entrusted by Downing, the president of the Suez Canal company, so they seem to be weak in interference now.
The Times found another excuse to fight against Windsor, saying that he took the opportunity of war against France to seize the Suez Canal and turned the most important passage in the world into his private canal.
The relationship between the World Trade Center and the world's largest power, Britain, suddenly became subtle. Could it be that this prehistoric monster of capital is going to confront the suzerain? NATO countries are even hyping up the ambitions of Windsor Capital Monster.
At this time, Tang Ning returned to London with a swagger. Because Faraday was back, he went to see how the old man was in a state of illness. Because Faraday lived next to Situ Garden, he went to his house to take a walk before entering the house. He found that the old man was not only slow to think, but also quite energetic, and was falsely shocked by Lin Feier.
It's fine, so I didn't care about the lying of the junior sister. The two friends were having fun together. At this time, the Queen's family came to visit her family, which was even more lively. The Queen came to thank Tang Ning for setting up a treatment team for curing her husband's stomach cancer. In fact, Tang Ning still doesn't believe that his experimental treatment technology can really cure stomach cancer. It's probably a lucky cure. The cancer is quite tenacious.
Princess Louise was so happy that she rushed up to kiss him when she saw Tangning. It made the prince jealous. No wonder, if she hadn't traveled thousands of miles to Shanghai to invite the great god back, Prince Albert's disease might have been as serious as she could have done. Now she felt that she had the second most contribution to saving her father's life. How could she be unhappy?
Princess Louise is now 14 years old and is becoming more and more beautiful and charming. Linfell stared at her unrestrained body from the side, which made Tangning very embarrassed. He quickly diverted his attention and asked the prince: "Have your illness been cured? Take the photo of the gastroscopy for me to see."
The prince really brought the photos with him and let Tang Ning appreciate them. Of course, he was very grateful to his old friends. Although Tang Ning was not in London, he ascended the throne and honeymoon, and never forgot to remotely organize his research team.
Tang Ning looked at the lesion diagram that was no different from ordinary people for a long time, and said, "Good luck..."
Princess Louise smiled sweetly: "That's... President Lincoln is not so lucky, and it's always unlucky to go against Downing."
Tang Ningqi said: "How do you say this?"
Louise: "Don't you know? His son died of a high fever. It happened that Windsor Hospital completely withdrew from the Northern American market during that time. He found the most unlucky hospital to save his son."
"Ah?" Tang Ning did not hit the enemy's good mood. He still admired Lincoln quite well. The ending was really...
Louise said heartlessly: "What? You are really a good person. Lincoln ran to your wedding to sabotage. Do you still feel sorry for him? I felt very angry at that time. When did the competition go bad? I had to go to your wedding with Xixi before making trouble, which made me..." She wanted to say, "It made me lose the opportunity to dance with the new emperor," but closed in time, and two small red clouds rose on her face.
Tang Ning: "I don't know about such a big thing. Oh, too. I'm quite lazy now and don't read much news, especially the newspapers of NATO countries. They are all negative and scold me, so I have to lose sight of them. (.). I have to focus on science and technology. These things always make me feel calm. Although I was in Windsor Port in the Mediterranean, I was not commanded by me. They were commanded by Marx and Engels. I also used me to show my weakness to the enemy, which made me scolded me as a liar. I later scolded them. I shouldn't show weakness. It's too fake. The French actually believed it..."
The prince laughed: "What does the French believe in it? Our Vicky believes it."
Queen Victoria gave Tangning a blank look and expressed dissatisfaction with being kept in the dark.
Tang Ning discovered something: "Where has the prince gone?"
Queen: "This guy lives in Scotland in a bad way and is blocked by me."
