Li Zhen's expression changed slightly, and the middle finger of his right hand unconsciously tapped the armrest of the chair. Gobard's words made Li Zhen feel very surprised. He did not expect that after the collapse of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, a team was quietly dispatched. Come on, this news is really surprising.
Gobard looked like he was full of wisdom, waiting for Li Zhen's reply.
In the main hall, the atmosphere is subtle.
Li Zhen did not remain silent for too long. He quickly broke the delicate atmosphere and said in a deep voice: "In the past, the armies of Britain, France and other countries fought against me, but they were defeated one by one and none of them won. I, Li Zhen, faced I have never been afraid of attacking the enemy. Even if he is the King of Heaven, flying in the sky, I will poke him down." Li Zhen continued with a serious expression on his face: "In the past, the soldiers under my command were not elite, and their weapons were weak. It's not that powerful. Now, the army under my command has made great progress. It has strong soldiers and horses, and powerful firepower. I am still afraid that you will fail. If you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end."
Suddenly, discussions broke out in the hall.
The envoys and commanders from various countries all looked solemn and kept discussing.
Deep down, they don't want to fight.
The news of the soldiers from the Eight Nations landing in Vietnam was released to let Li Zhen see that the armies of the Eight Nations were powerful and not afraid of Li Zhen. However, Li Zhen was tit-for-tat and refused to give in. Instead, the officials of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces had to Considering the consequences of the war, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces are like springs. The stronger they are, the weaker they become. Li Zhen showed strength, and accordingly, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces became less confident.
Gobard obviously expected that this might happen, and immediately said: "President, once the two armies fight, it will not be a good thing for the President, nor for us. The eight countries are peace-loving countries, and the troops will land in Vietnam." The purpose is not to exchange fire with the troops under the President's command, but to stabilize the situation. Therefore, regarding the formation of Vietnam, the President is asked to think twice before acting and consider the consequences."
After hearing this, Li Zhen did not answer immediately.
After thinking for a minute, Li Zhen replied: "Okay, let me think for two days."
"We'll wait two days."
Gobard immediately agreed and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If there is a real war, the outcome is unknown. Now Li Zhen has a plan to think about it and has given Gobard hope. All he needs to do is add a little more fire to get Li Zhen to agree to do things according to the ideas of the officials from the eight countries. There was still a lot to be done. Next, people from the eight countries left one after another. In an instant, everyone disappeared from sight.
Ruan Lele looked at Li Zhen and asked: "Brother, do you really want people from the Eight Countries to control Vietnam?"
Li Zhen laughed and said: "No way, I just paralyzed them."
After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "Go down, I will immediately summon my subordinates to discuss matters."
Ruan Lele withdrew from the main hall, and Li Zhen immediately summoned Liu Jintang, Lu Shaochuan, Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng. In the main hall, Li Zhen was the first to speak: "Today we are discussing the reorganization of the Vietnamese government. The people from the Eight-Power Allied Forces insist on taking the lead. Gobard also revealed the news that at present, a large force of the Eight-Power Allied Forces has landed in Vietnam and is heading towards Fuchun City."
Lu Shaochuan said nothing, waved his hand and said: "Hit him."
"Yes, defeat the foreigners." Chen Yucheng said excitedly.
Liu Jintang looked excited and said loudly: "Since the Eight-Nation Allied Forces have new recruits coming, we must not be unprepared. From now on, we must prepare for battle immediately. In addition, I think we can also send a powerful force in this short period of time to attack the landing." The Eight-Nation Allied Forces will destroy the other side's army. Once this army collapses, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces will have no confidence. As a result, they will never dare to mention fighting in front of the president again."
Chen Yucheng said again: "I agree with Brigadier Liu's opinion, this is what we should do."
Li Xiucheng spoke up and agreed with Liu Jintang's statement.
Li Zhen shook his head slightly and continued: "The soldiers of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces are coming. I don't plan to let my troops take the initiative to attack. Our army only needs to be well defensive. If the Eight-Nation Allied Forces really dare to come, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces will attack." Commander, the envoys are still in the city. Can they escape? The soldiers of the Eight-Power Allied Forces do not dare to attack Fuchun City. The purpose of my delay for two days is to allow you to prepare a good defense. With sufficient defense, Enough to support this war in Vietnam."
Lu Shaochuan sighed, this is really boring.
Liu Jintang also looked regretful because he had no chance to fight.
…
The commander of the coalition forces and the residence of the envoys all gathered together to discuss.
Gobard's expression was serious, but a hint of joy could be seen vaguely in his eyes. He glanced at everyone and said seriously: "Li Zhen apparently agreed to think about it for two days. I'm afraid there is a suspicion of delaying time, so I have to be careful. Ah." His eyes fell on Adams and Russell, and he continued: "In order for us to take the lead in Vietnam, we must be alert to Li Zhen sending troops to intercept and kill the landing troops. Therefore, we now begin to closely monitor the movements of Li Zhen's troops. , just in case something changes.”
Adams frowned and asked: "Don't worry, Mr. Gobard, I will send someone to pay attention."
Rahel continued: "Don't worry, we will be on guard all day long."
After the two made guarantees, Gobard continued: "Besides that, I think we should take turns to persuade Li Zhen. At this time, Li Zhen is obviously in a critical state of fighting or not fighting. It is very likely that Li Zhen's subordinates will After some persuasion from someone of ours, Li Zhen made up his mind to go to war. If someone from our people had some persuasion, Li Zhen might have formed Vietnam according to our plan."
Ma Hui nodded and said: "Mr. Gobard's words make sense. This is indeed something that should be paid attention to."
"I'd like to be the first to go," Lankfur said.
A look of joy appeared on his face. If he could persuade Li Zhen, he would definitely achieve great success.
Gobard applauded and said: "The first person is going by Mr. Lankfurt. Mr. Lankfur is worthy of being an envoy of a great power. He is courageous, magnanimous, and admirable." He paused for a moment and said: "Since Lankfurt Mr. Phuc is willing to be the first to go, and I cannot let Mr. Lankfurt do it alone. I am willing to be the second to go and contribute my own strength to the eight countries presiding over the government of Vietnam."
"I'll go third."
Ma Hui smiled slightly and expressed his intention to participate.
The main personnel from Britain and France have already participated, and with the two giants, he is no exception.
Immediately afterwards, people from all over the world expressed their willingness to take a trip.
Lan Kefu did not go immediately. He sat in the tent and waited for an hour, giving Li Zhen some time to rest. Then he went to visit Li Zhen alone. In the main hall, Li Zhen saw Lan Kefu coming and waved to Lan Kefu. Fu sat down and continued: "Your Excellency Lankfurt, what do you want from me?"
Frankfurt said: "I came here for the safety of the president."
He spoke seriously, as if Li Zhen was really in danger.
