After Rufeili came to power, he not only did not advocate regaining lost territory, but instead handed the olive branch to Bismarck, temporarily getting out of the dilemma and no longer had to choose between Austria or Russia, Austria or Italy.

Bismarck therefore agreed to Rufeli for colonial expansion, and did not compete with France to expand overseas territory. He only established a few small colonies to meet the requirements of domestic imperialists.

Bismarck believes that Germany and France have an opponent, that is, Britain. He hopes that the two countries will take this opportunity to join forces to fight against Britain and establish an alliance between the two major Western European countries.

Rufeli was also an imperialist. In order to get rid of the political chaos and attempt to find new compensation for defeat through colonization, he spoke in parliament, "It would be abominable that the Republic would not allow colonial policies to be formulated, anti-France."

"When we do this great thing within the wise and prudent scope we have set ourselves, we are benefiting future generations." During Ferry's tenure, France continued to colonize and expand.

"It seems that Emperor Hua came to Paris this time to demonstrate to us. They want us to know that they have escaped the troubles of Japan and have gained a foothold in Kyushu Island in Japan. In the future, the Chinese affairs should be decided by China. It seems that everything has been settled." Ru Feili danced and was filled with righteous indignation. She seemed to be an irreconcilable enemy with Emperor Hua.

In fact, when Emperor Hua came to Europe as a merchant last time, he met Ru Feili once, and neither of them left any good impression of each other.

The bad impression of Emperor Hua mainly comes from the little pitiful historical knowledge in his later generations. Those who know a little history have never heard of Ru Feili, the culprit of the Sino-French war.

Ru Feili looked down on Emperor Hua mainly because Emperor Hua was just a two or three-year-old child at that time and could speak, which was like a myth.

The name of the cute president is a child prodigy, and is respected by the people in China, but in the Western world, it is not too cold.

Of course, the most important reason is that Ru Feili hates Emperor Hua so much now, it must be because of the rise of China, Emperor Hua and China that has influenced Ru Feili's plan to develop colonies in Asia!

Moreover, in fact, China has already fought with France in Vietnam once before, and both sides deeply felt that their second fight would break out at any time, especially after China is now strong.

China is connected with Vietnam's mountains and rivers, and has a close relationship since ancient times.

Before the 19th century, French Catholic forces had invaded Vietnam.

During the Second Opium War between Britain and France and China, France began to occupy southern Vietnam by force (Nanqi, known as the intersection of China, the Westerners), making the six southern provinces of Vietnam become French colonies. Then, they set out from Saigon to explore the route along the Mekong River to China. After discovering that the Lancang River is not suitable for navigation, they turned to northern Vietnam (Nanqi, known as the Tokyo by the Westerners), trying to use the Red River as a channel to invade Yunnan, China.

In November 1873 (October 12th year of Tongzhi), France sent An Ye to lead more than 100 troops to invade and capture Hanoi and its surrounding areas. The Vietnamese king Nguyen Phuc asked the Black Flag Army led by Liu Yongfu, a Chinese man stationed in Baosheng Place (now Laojie) on the Sino-Vietnam border at that time to assist in resisting the French invasion. In December of the same year, the Black Flag Army defeated the French army on the outskirts of Hanoi and killed An Ye. The French army was forced to retreat to southern Vietnam.

On March 15, 1874, under the oppression and blackmail by the French invaders, Vietnam signed the Vietnam-French Peace Alliance Treaty in Saigon, the second Saigon Treaty. Vietnam opened the Red River to France and gave France various rights and interests such as trade in northern Vietnam. On May 25, 1875, France issued a note to the Qing government and announced the content of the treaty, intending to win the recognition of the Qing government, thereby eliminating the influence of China in Vietnam, which had been formed in history. On June 15, the Qing government replied that the treaty would not be recognized.

The French Parliament, led by French Prime Minister Jofeli, passed a military fee of 2.4 million francs in Vietnam.

At this time, the visit of Emperor Hua, especially the tension between China and Britain, made France very hostile to China.

The cute CEO himself has a bad impression of France, and to a certain extent, it is France itself unlucky. France has never been very good in history. When playing well, they always encounter the attention of the people who play better. When playing hard, no one under them was behind them, so they were watched.

Jena fought well, but a few years later, Waterloo was captured by the emperor, and then the public was attracted by Wellington. At that time, the emperor was captured by others, but there was no worse in the continental period, so they were watched. The surrendered six weeks after World War II, and other powers took a long time regardless of the outcome, so they were watched again. Free France was indomitable and beaten well, but the protagonist of the Allied forces was the United States and Britain, so the historical attention was not very useful; the vast colony is worth mentioning, the problem is that as the second place, the reputation was always suppressed by the British, who were the first place; independent during the Cold War, it is worthy of admiration, but after all, the main play on the international stage was the battle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, so it was ignored again. In this state where good things do not go out and bad things go thousands of miles, it is too easy to attract evil.

However, this is also related to the limited historical knowledge of Emperor Hua.

Looking at France in the circle of military fans, of course France was very badly hacked.

Military fans simply defeated the defeat. Most of the little historical knowledge of Emperor Hua came from military history.

Looking at a country from the perspective of the strength of France, this perspective is undoubtedly one-sided. In later English-speaking countries, in other words, in the world dominated by the United States, France's influence is marginalized and the American business values ​​are spreading to the world, so the Emperor Hua is more likely to see the excellence of the United States and worship it.

However, the French academic community’s outstanding contributions to the field of philosophy and social sciences since the 20th century are often invisible to ordinary people like Huahuang.

The low-key nature of the French cultural circle is also related to the decline in the international status of French.

Paris and Vienna in the 19th century were both known as the continental cultural capital. Paris in 1900 became the focus of the world with the Olympic Games and the World Expo.

From the end of the 19th century to before World War II, Paris continued to maintain its position as the capital of European art and cultural arts with its cafe culture and salon culture. France had Cobusiers, remembering Sartre, Benjamin, Derrida, Foucault, and writers like Hugo, as well as great artists like Rodin.

From Hemingway to Kundera, from Zweig to Thomasmann, France has special significance to them.

French literature has profoundly influenced Russian writers represented by Dostoevsky.

The social trends of France in all periods were the first in the world's ideological field. Beauvoir launched the feminist movement with her "Second Sex". These were probably much more important to civilization than the defeat of the French-Prussian War, the fall of the Third Republic in World War II, and the fall of Paris.

Culturally speaking, Germany can only be compared with France during the Second German Empire.

Although German culture has a long history and profound heritage.

But the real rise of becoming a mainstream culture began with the 18th century's rapid advance movement.

As Nietzsche said, at that time, the Germans were still apprentices to the defeated French people in all aspects.

During this period, Germany and France even had the same national strength. However, France still retained its position as the second largest colonial empire in the world.

After the French-Prussian War, "Europe lost a housewife and welcomed another master."

Of course, the loss of the important coal-iron-iron-producing region Alsace-Lorraine (actually only ceded three-fifths) was undoubtedly a fatal blow to France's industrialization process.

This also made France's manufacturing industry no longer have the ability to compete with Germany in independent decades.

In comparison, the compensation of 5 billion francs (700 million taels of silver) seems irrelevant.

In 1872 alone, the Bank of France issued 45 billion francs of government bonds.

During the Third Republic, France suffered serious internal internal frictions in politics, and its economy focused on financial and usury capitalism, and its population growth was slow. Naturally, it no longer had the ability to compete with Germany for European hegemony. However, it became the check and balance force with continental strength second only to Germany.

This is why the later "Sincerity Agreement" was created, which finally eliminated the centuries of hostility and became closely linked allies.

The battle of popularizing the law was very beautiful, which made Germany's compulsory military service system and the chief staff system eventually overwhelmed France's traditional recruitment system.

The same was true in World War II. The infantry and artillery coordination and Yongbei Fortress defense tactics were defeated by advanced armored assault tactics.

But so what? It was Britain and France that created modern civilization and world order.

Their footprints are spread across five continents and four oceans, and their literature, art, and science are all making rapid progress.

Against this background, the Chinese society has become increasingly conservative, rigid and lifeless.

The feudal system completely reached a dead end in China in the 17th century. As Yi Zhongtian said, the more perfect it becomes, the more it goes to death.

This main creator of modern civilization, the lighthouse of Europe and the palace of literature and art? Because of his two ridiculous defeats?

However, this is true in the world of Emperor Hua. At this time, Emperor Hua's worldview was still narrow, and he only knew that he was a complete pragmatist by success or failure.

"Sir Prime Minister, calm down. You can't ask them to get out immediately, right?" French President Francois was not as angry as Rufeli.

"Mr. President, you must pay attention to the issue of China. Although the Qing court has fallen and this new country has just been established, it will definitely be our confidant in the future, or it is now our confidant in the future!" Ru Feili said with a glaring eyes.
