When Jouferi came to power, instead of advocating the reconquista, he handed Bismarck an olive branch, so that Germany could temporarily get out of the predicament and no longer have to choose between Austria or Russia, Austria or Italy.Bismarck was therefore in favour of colonial expansion by Jofeli, and did not compete with France to expand its overseas territories, but only established a few small colonies to satisfy the demands of the domestic imperialists.Bismarck believed that both Germany and France had an adversary, that is, Britain, and he hoped that the two countries would use this as an opportunity to join forces against Britain and establish an alliance between the two Western European countries.Jouferi was also an imperialist.In order to get out of the political chaos and try to find new compensation for the defeat through colonization, he said in parliament that "it would be an abomination and anti-French to allow the republic to adopt a colonial policy." ”"When we do this great thing within the limits of wisdom and prudence that we have set for ourselves, we are doing it for the benefit of future generations."
During Ferry's tenure, France continued to expand colonies."
It seems that the Emperor Hua came to Paris this time to demonstrate to us, and they want us to know that they have gotten rid of Japan's troubles and have gained a firm foothold on Japan's Kyushu Island, and that Asian affairs should be decided by Hua Guo in the future, and it seems that everything has been settled."
Ru Feili danced with his hands and was full of righteous indignation, as if he and the Emperor Hua were enemies.In fact, the last time Emperor Hua went to Europe as a businessman, he had met Ru Feili once, and neither of them had a good impression of the other.Emperor Hua's bad impression mainly came from the little bit of poor historical knowledge he had in later generations, and it was impossible for anyone who knew a little bit of history not to have heard of Ru Feili, the culprit of the Sino-French War.And Ru Feili didn't look down on Emperor Hua, mainly because Emperor Hua was just a two- or three-year-old child at the time, and he could actually speak, like a myth.The name of President Meng's prodigy is revered by the common people in China, but in the Western world, it is not too cold.Of course, the most important reason, the current Ru Fei Li hates Hua Huang so much, it must be because Hua Guo, Hua Huang and Hua Guo rise, which has affected Ru Fei's ideal plan to open up colonies in Asia and, in fact, Hua Guo has already fought with France in Vietnam once before, and both sides deeply feel that their second fight will break out at any time, especially after Hua Guo is now strong.China and Vietnam are connected by mountains and rivers, and they have been closely related since ancient times.Before the 19th century, French Catholic forces had invaded Vietnam.During the Second Opium War between Britain and France against China, France began to occupy Nam Chi in southern Vietnam by force, which was called Jiaozhi China by Westerners, and the six provinces in southern Vietnam became French colonies.After discovering that the upper reaches of the Mekong River, the Lancang River, were not navigable, they turned to Beiqi, known to Westerners as Tokyo, in northern Vietnam, in an attempt to use the Red River as a channel to invade China's Yunnan province.In November 1873, in October of the twelfth year of Tongzhi, the French led an army of more than 100 troops to invade and capture Hanoi and its vicinity.King Nguyen Phuc Shi of Vietnam requested the Black Flag Army led by Liu Yong Phuc, a Chinese stationed in Jinlao Cai, Baosheng on the Sino-Vietnamese border, to help resist the French invasion.In December of the same year, the Black Flag Army defeated the French army on the outskirts of Hanoi, killing An Dieu, and the French army was forced to retreat to southern Vietnam.On March 15, 1874, under the oppression and blackmail of the French invaders, Vietnam signed the Vietnam-France Treaty of Peace and Alliance in Saigon, the Second Treaty of Saigon, in which Vietnam opened the Red River to France and granted France various rights and interests in northern Vietnam.On May 25, 1875, France sent a note to the Qing government, informing it of the contents of the treaty, with the intention of seeking recognition from the Qing government, so as to exclude the influence of China in Vietnam, which had been established for a long time in history.On June 15, the Qing government reverted to the treaty, refusing to recognize the treaty.The French Parliament, led by French Prime Minister Joffrey, approved 2.4 million francs for military spending on Vietnam.At such times, the visit of the Emperor of China, especially the diplomatic tensions between China and Great Britain, made France very hostile to China.President Meng himself does not have a good impression of France, and to a certain extent, France itself is unlucky.France has never been brilliant in history, and when it is playing well, it always encounters people who play better next to it to grab attention; When he played smashed, there was no one underneath to back him, and he was miserably watched.Jena played well, but within a few years Waterloo was captured by the emperor, and then the public attention was drawn away by Wellington; At that time, the emperor was arrested again, but there was nothing worse on the European continent at the same time, so he was watched by the onlookers; Six weeks after the Second World War began, the other powers were able to bear much longer, regardless of victory or defeat, so they were watched again; The Free France fought well with perseverance, but the protagonists of the Allies were the United States and Britain, so there was not much use in terms of historical attention; The vastness of the colony is worth mentioning, but the problem is that as the second place, the prestige value is always pressed by the British as the first place; During the Cold War, independence and self-determination were admirable, but after all, the main play on the international stage was the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, so it was ignored again.In this state of good things not going out, evil things going thousands of miles, it is too easy to attract black.However, this is also related to the limited historical knowledge of the Chinese Emperor.Looking at France in the circle of military fans, of course, France was hacked very badly.Military fans are nothing more than victory and defeat, and most of the little historical knowledge of the Chinese emperor comes from military history.Looking at a country from the perspective of France's national strength is undoubtedly one-sided.In later English-speaking countries, in other words, in a world dominated by the United States, France's influence was marginalized, and American business values were spreading to the world, so it was easier for the Chinese emperor to see the excellence of the United States and worship it.The outstanding contributions of the French academic community in the field of philosophy and social sciences since the 20th century are often invisible to ordinary people like Hua Huang.The low profile of the French cultural scene is also related to the decline of the international status of the French language.In the 19th century, Paris and Vienna were known as the cultural capitals of Europe.Paris in 1900 became the focus of the world with the Olympic Games and the Universal Exposition.From the end of the 19th century until the end of World War II, Paris continued to maintain its status as the artistic and cultural capital of Europe with its café culture, salon culture.France has Corbusier, reminds of Sartre, Benjamin, Derrida, Foucault.There are literary giants like Hugo, and there are great artists like Rodin.From Hemingway to Kundera, from Zweig to Thomas Mann, France has a special meaning for them.French literature profoundly influenced Russian philologists represented by Dostoevsky.The social trends of thought in France in all periods have been at the forefront of the world's intellectual field.Beauvoir started the feminist movement with her second sex, which is probably far more important to civilization than the defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, the fall of the Third Republic in World War II, and the fall of Paris.Culturally, Germany can only be compared to France during the Second German Reich.Although German culture has a long history, it has a deep heritage.But the real rise of mainstream culture began in the 18th century.As Nietzsche said, the Germans were still apprentices to the defeated French in all respects.During this period, Germany and France were even equal in national power.However, France still retains its position as the second largest colonial empire in the world.After the Franco-Prussian War, "Europe lost a housewife and welcomed another master".Of course, the loss of Alsace Lorraine, an important coal and iron producing region, was in fact only three-fifths ced, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to France's industrialization process.As a result, in the decades that followed, French manufacturing was no longer able to compete with Germany on its own.In comparison, the indemnity of 5,000,000,000,000 francs or 700,000,000 taels of silver seemed insignificant.In 1872 alone, the Banque de France issued 45 billion francs of national debt.During the Third Republic, France was politically infraguine, economically focused on finance and usury capitalism, and had a slow population growth.Naturally, it no longer has the ability to compete with Germany for European hegemony.But it has become a counterbalancing force in continental strength second only to Germany.This was the result of the agreement that led to the dissolution of centuries-old hostility between Britain and France, and to become close allies.P&F played beautifully.As a result, Germany's compulsory military service system and staff headquarters system finally crushed the traditional French conscription system.The same was true in World War II, where infantry and artillery coordination and permanent fortress defense tactics were defeated by advanced armoured assault tactics.But so what, it was Britain and France that created modern civilization and world order.They have traveled to five continents and four oceans, and their literature, art, and science have advanced by leaps and bounds.In this context, Chinese society has become more and more conservative and rigid, and lifeless.Feudalism in 17th-century China came to a dead end.As Yi Zhongtian said, the more you tend to be perfect, the more you will die.The main founder of modern civilization, the beacon of Europe, and the temple of literature and art, because he fought two ridiculous defeats, however, in the world of the Chinese Emperor, this is indeed the case, the world view of the Chinese Emperor at this time is still narrow, only knowing that winning or losing is judged by success or failure, and the Chinese Emperor is a complete pragmatist."
Mr.
Prime Minister, calm down, you can't ask them to get out of here immediately," French President François was not as angry as Jouferry."
Mr.
President, you must pay attention to the problem of Huaguo, although the Qing court has fallen, and this new country has just been established, but he will definitely be our henchman in the future, or rather, it is already our confidant," Ru Feili said with a glare.t1706231537:
