Chapter 1379 Burn, Baguette (Second update, please subscribe)
March 1st!
All this was destined to change everything. On this day, the French Empire officially released a "Jerusalem Incident Investigation Report". According to the investigation report, British spies such as Laws planned this incident with the support of the British government! For a time, the world was in an uproar.
"…carried out the assassination of Pope Pius IX and Emperor Napoleon IV. Our Emperor, the great Napoleon IV, died at the hands of the despicable British…"
The news coming from the radio shocked everyone. Pedestrians stood under the loudspeakers on the roadside, listening to the radio and the investigation report. More people were reading newspapers. Almost all newspapers published the full text of the "Jerusalem Incident Investigation Report."
The furious French didn't even know how to describe their feelings.
"Kill the English!"
The excited people rushed to the British Embassy, smashed its windows with stones and even threw burning gasoline bottles into the embassy.
France... the France that bid farewell to turmoil and radicalism in the past decade seems to have returned. The romantic and artistic France is now shrouded in boundless anger.
Everyone, both men and women, were there discussing, recalling their emperor in a tone full of pity and cursing the British in a tone of anger.
"Kill all the British!"
For the young Charles de Gaulle, when he left kindergarten, he saw the streets full of marching people, waving the French tricolor flag and shouting "Kill all the British".
What are they doing?
What kind of impact did de Gaulle's young mind have?
He opened his eyes wide and looked at the excited people on the road. He saw excited men and crying women, and what he felt in his young heart was hatred.
“Mom, Mom…”
Finally, when he returned home, de Gaulle threw himself into his mother's arms.
"They, they killed our emperor!"
After saying this, de Gaulle started crying.
"Yes, son, they killed our Emperor!"
At this time, his father came over, picked up de Gaulle and said.
"My child, it was those despicable British who killed our emperor. Decades ago, the great Emperor Napoleon died in their hands, and Emperor Napoleon IV was also assassinated by them in a despicable way! God bless us, we will definitely take revenge on them and avenge our emperor..."
Henri de Gaulle was a teacher of literature and history. Most of the time, he was a personable, insightful, learned, orthodox person who valued the dignity of France above all else. Normally he was against the war, but now, like everyone else, he felt humiliation and hatred.
The emperor...that's the symbol of France!
The dignity of France was brutally trampled upon by the British!
"Father, will you go to war?"
Faced with his son's question, Henri de Gaulle thought for a moment and answered.
"If one day... when France needs me, I will go! Child, every one of us will go!"
Yes, everyone will go, for the dignity of France, for the honor of France!
The tremendous rage has been ignited, and only the blood of the enemy can extinguish this boundless rage.
war!
war!
Starting from March 1st, and every day thereafter, all the newspapers in France were cursing the British, and all French public opinion was discussing one topic - war and revenge!
On March 4, the day when the Ming Empire declared war on Britain, when the world was shocked by the Ming Empire's decision, when tens of thousands of French people ran to the Empire's embassy and consulate in France, waving the French and Ming flags and singing "Long Live Friendship",
The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs once again made representations to the UK and issued an ultimatum to it - demanding that the UK immediately arrest the British officials involved in the incident and that French police enter the UK to investigate. At the same time, it also demanded direct talks with the UK on its support for spies planning the "Jerusalem incident".
France once again submitted an ultimatum to the British government, requiring it to give a clear answer before 24:00 on March 6, Paris time: whether it would accept a full investigation into the "Jerusalem incident."
"Gentlemen..."
At 10 Downing Street, Prime Minister Primrose, the Prime Minister of the British Empire, looked at the cabinet members with puzzled eyes.
"I want to know what happened?"
what happened?
Primrose had a feeling that Britain seemed to be caught in a conspiracy, a carefully planned conspiracy.
What kind of conspiracy is this?
It was their refusal to allow Russian involvement in Persia that intensified the conflict and led to mobilization.
It was they who planned the attack on Kuwait City, which led to the mobilization of the Ming Empire.
They were also the ones who planned the assassination of the French Emperor...
The British did it all themselves.
Shooting yourself in the foot? There aren't enough stones in Stonehenge to move!
"Mr. Prime Minister, it doesn't matter what happened. What's important is that we must deny it all again. No matter what, we must insist on one thing - Britain has never participated in the assassination of the Pope and the French Emperor. The "Jerusalem Incident" was done by barbarians and has nothing to do with Britain!"
Kimberly, the Foreign Minister, emphasized this once again.
"Otherwise, we will become enemies of the entire Christian world!"
"Damn it, we know it all!"
Primrose said directly.
"But before we say no, we all know what's going to happen next!"
"war!"
Primrose took a deep breath and looked at everyone.
"Yes, it is a war, a war between us and the French, the Ming, the Russians, and the Austrians, who will soon join this war! The problem is..."
what is the problem?
Looking at the Prime Minister, James Bond, a participant in the meeting, the senior secretary of the Prime Minister's Office and the No. 1 in the Imperial Civil Service, sneered in his heart.
"Isn't this the war you longed for and hoped for? Now it's as you wish..."
What will be the outcome of this meeting?
The only result was that... the British government refused to respond to this ultimatum.
Of course, there is another result, which is what Primrose is most concerned about.
"Gentlemen, America...we need America to join the war now, or we will lose this war!"
"Your Mightiness."
Kimberly said confidently.
"The Americans will join the war, with the help of the Ming Empire!"
The old group is down, so I created a new book club group: 739209015. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
