Sixty-ninth problems in the three central and southern provinces
The dance was just like any other dance in Europe.
Under the rule of the three Napoleons, France's extravagance became increasingly popular. On the one hand, this was because years of stability had allowed the economy to develop.
On the other hand, it is because French capitalists have received a relatively relaxed development environment.
The most important thing is the romantic feelings of the French, which makes them addicted to such a luxurious life.
A young aristocratic man in rich and exquisite clothes invited Gao Ru to dance.
Enduring the strong smell of perfume on the other party's body, Gao Ru finished the dance. She rarely attended such private dances.
But he had to attend the dance today.
When he returned to his seat, Gao Ru accidentally bumped into a man who was drinking. The scarlet wine stained Gao Ru's skirt.
Gao Ru apologized to the other party first, and the host quickly came over to deal with the situation when he saw it.
Discovering that Gao Ru's skirt was stained, Onni, the hostess, took Gao Ru to the laundry room to deal with it.
After arriving at the laundry room, Gao Ru politely offered to handle it by herself and let the hostess go back first.
The lady of the house thought that Gao Ru felt embarrassed if someone was around, so she returned to the dance venue.
In this way, the second step of Gao Ru's plan was completed.
After seeing the hostess leaving, Gao Ru walked out of the laundry room.
She seemed to be very familiar with this building and walked straight to the study.
Because there was a ball, the master and servants of the house were gathered in the ball hall.
Gao Ru didn't meet anyone on the way to his master's study.
Because she was attending a dance, she wore a Chinese dance dress that she had modified by herself, but she also wore a pair of high heels.
She left her high heels in the laundry room and walked quickly without making any sound.
When he came to the study, Gao Ru pushed the door open and went in. He was not afraid that there was someone inside. Anyway, if there was someone there, he would have said that he had gone to the wrong place.
She took out a flashlight, which was a rare thing. But the Renaissance Army had already made it.
It just gives priority to production. Currently it can only be used as special equipment used by the army and is not available in the world.
Due to operational needs, the Intelligence Department prioritized the purchase of a batch for its operational team members.
With the help of the light of this mini flashlight, Gao Ru began to search seriously.
ten minutes later……
Gao Ru left the study and walked to the laundry room. She walked gently down the stairs.
"Miss Gao!"
At a corner on the way to the laundry room, Gao Ru met the hostess, Oni.
Ouni waited at the dance venue for a long time, and when she saw Gao Ru hadn't come down yet, she thought she was being harassed by a young man.
After all, Oni invited the person here, so she went back to the laundry room to look for him.
But Oni saw no one in the laundry room.
Fortunately, when she arrived in the corridor, she saw Gao Ru, who was a little anxious.
Gao Ru's expression was naturally anxious.
The average person would definitely be shocked at this moment, or at least a little nervous.
But Gao Ru's heart is very strong, and she has received professional training.
"Hello, Miss Ouni, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. But I, I want to find the bathroom." Gao Ru lowered his head as he spoke, his cheeks slightly red, pretending to be shy.
Ouni thought to herself, are all these oriental women so shy?
"Miss Gao, the bathroom is over there." Ouni pointed her finger.
Gao Ru knelt down to thank him, and then hurried towards the bathroom with small steps. As he ran, he put his hands on his lower abdomen and kept his legs together.
Seeing Gao Ru's hurried look, Ouni thought she must be in a hurry, no wonder she even took off her high heels.
How rude, I actually saw Miss Gao in such an embarrassing state. Thinking of this, Ouni hurried back to the dance venue to prevent her from running into Gao Ru again later. Or she might run into Gao Ru secretly putting on her shoes, which would make people feel uncomfortable.
Embarrassing.
When Gao Ru returned to the dance scene, she had returned to her original state.
She also thanked Miss Oni and asked her in a low voice to help her hide her embarrassing predicament just now.
As a fan of Gao Ru, Miss Oni would naturally not tell anyone. After all, as a woman, she understands women.
After the ball, Gauru returned to his temporary apartment in the suburbs of Paris.
She hurried upstairs and started to sort out the information she got today. She didn't even have time to put on her makeup.
It looked like he was really in a hurry.
"Shuashuashua..." Gao Ru wrote numbers on the paper very quickly. These numbers were a series of passwords.
She doesn't need a password book, the rules of the password are already memorized in her heart.
To deliver news back home, they needed to use telegraph lines to Europe.
Therefore, all content must be encrypted with a password before it can be sent out.
The translation of these contents is: "The purpose of the French Far East Combined Fleet's trip is to quickly occupy the Vung Tau Port in Annan and cause a de facto occupation before the Renaissance Army can react. The fleet commander is Lieutenant General Le Nga."
"There are a total of five battleships, five cruisers and five frigates in the fleet, which adds up to a total of fifteen battleships, and there are also five special troop carriers. The flagship is the second-class battleship Richelieu. The fleet has a total of
There are more than 4,300 navy officers and soldiers, and more than 5,000 marines."
"The fleet set off on May 2nd and passed through Cape Verde, Cape Town, Madagascar, and India. After a short period of repairs at the French colony in India, it headed directly to Annan. It is expected to launch offensive operations in September."
"From the intelligence, Gao Ru also knew that the British promised to provide necessary cover and support for the fleet's operations. For example, the British would open ports such as Cape Town and Singapore for the French fleet. They would also help France conceal their itinerary.
."
Gao Ru thought for a moment and added the basic information about General Li E to the information.
It is now June, and it has been more than a month since the French Far East Fleet set out.
And it will take half a month for their information to be sent back to the country. I hope it's not too late.
"Charles Liège de Genouil joined the French Navy in 1827. In 1841, he led the "Victor" with the rank of captain to serve in the Far East. In 1847, he led a fleet to attack Tuohuang Port in Annan. He also attacked North Korea.
Intervention, during the Crimean War, joined the British and French combined fleet to support Turkey's war against Russia. On October 17, 1854, it used naval gunfire to support the coalition landing force besieging the Russian Fortress of Sevastopol, shelling for 6
In the same year, he was promoted to rear admiral. Li'e, who had just been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general this year, was appointed commander of the French Far East Fleet and led the fleet to the Far East."
"Old Liu, send this document to the embassy and ask them to send it to the country as soon as possible." Gao Ru handed the written document to the coachman, Old Liu.
Old Liu was one of the deputies assigned to him by the European station. Even though he is just a coachman now, he was also a high-ranking figure in the escort agency in Beidi back then.
"Yes, Miss Gao." Old Liu agreed and flashed out of the room.
Lao Liu has no children and has always treated Gao Ru as his daughter.
Seeing Gao Ru work so hard for work sometimes makes me feel heartbroken.
The first piece of information was sent back, but the matter is not over yet.
Gao Ru still needs to find out the parameters of these battleships, because British and French battleships have undergone many modifications in recent years.
Most sail warships are equipped with steam-assisted power, which greatly improves the maneuverability of these warships.
There are also some battleships with protective steel plates installed at key parts.
The artillery on battleships has also been greatly improved. Many battleships are equipped with a certain number of breech-loading guns, which increases the rate of fire.
The original unified set of parameters for European battleships is now of little value for reference.
Fortunately, compared to the strategic intentions of France's Far East Fleet this time, it is not too difficult to obtain the parameters of these warships.
Information on the transformation of many warships can be found in newspapers and magazines.
Napoleon III was an emperor who loved success. Perhaps he was not confident enough about his origins. He always let the French people know good news as soon as possible.
Even the British said that France had no secrets. Napoleon III would talk about everything he did.
When Dong Shuheng arrived in Chuncheng, Yunnan, he met Peng Yulin who came to greet him.
Peng Yulin has been in charge of the southwest for the past two years. In fact, the focus of his work is still monitoring the war in India.
Assist the Immigration Bureau and local governments in the immigration and security and stability work of the newly established provinces in Indochina.
There are often small-scale native riots in Lancang, Mekong and several newly built provinces in Phnom Penh.
They seemed to have received support from the outside world, because many of the rioting natives owned Western-style muskets.
This cannot be from the Renaissance Army. It can only be supported by Britain, France and other countries.
Although Annan, Siam and other countries declared vassal status to the Fuxing Army, they had already signed some trade treaties with the Western Barbarians before.
The Renaissance Army should not be allowed to forcibly sever ties with the Western Barbarians. That would offend all the Western Barbarians.
Moreover, Annam, Siam and the Renaissance Army only have a general vassal relationship. In principle, they are still independent countries.
Perhaps it was through there that the Western Yi provided support to the natives in the three provinces of Indochina.
Because the borders between the three provinces and these two countries are very long.
And these two countries have no way to effectively control the Xiyi living in their countries.
Especially in the Nanqi area of Annan, the activities of Western missionaries were very rampant.
There are a large number of Catholics here. Even many Annan officials are religious. They will facilitate the activities of those missionaries.
Recently, King Annan is also preparing to take action against these Western barbarians and religious people. Several religious cases have occurred. Most of the local people are on the side of the Western barbarians.
Since losing Bei Qi, the prestige of the Nguyen Dynasty's court in the hearts of the people of Annam has plummeted.
In particular, the control of the Nanqi area is not as complex as the people here before, and many of them are not the main ethnic groups in Annan.
When the Renaissance Army regained Phnom Penh Province, many Annan occupation troops from Nanqi were driven back.
The land originally occupied by Annan in Phnom Penh was confiscated. This made many nobles in Nanqi hate the Renaissance Army.
In their opinion, the Renaissance Army was not as good as the Western Yi. When the Western Yi came, they could still follow them and drink soup.
But when the Renaissance Army came, not even a scrap of bones was left to them.
In addition, many people are religious people and are often brainwashed by the Western Yi. They gradually become a group that is pro-Western and anti-revivalist.
Nanqi has also become the base camp of a group of anti-Revolutionary elements.
Here they receive secret training from the Western Yi.
Then they sneaked into Phnom Penh Province through the border areas crisscrossed by water networks to carry out sabotage activities.
The farms established by the Renaissance Army had armed guards. They attacked the original indigenous villages, destroyed them, and then recruited the indigenous men into their ranks.
Somewhat similar to the methods used by thieves in the past.
The Southwest Military Region does not have that many troops dispersedly stationed. The Renaissance Army does not arm the local indigenous people. They generally practice self-government in villages.
This created a lot of loopholes in the Ba'ath Army's local rule.
