Although the Russian envoy came, Lin Fei knew very well that there was a great possibility that this so-called mediation would not be fruitful, and he absolutely could not relax his attack on Vietnam.

Over the next few days, the Chinese army continued to attack Hanoi and Saigon, and on 16 May, the Fifth Army landed at Vung Tau City, 110 kilometers southeast of Saigon.

Vung Tau City was originally a small fishing village, but it was later transformed into a resort by the French, but I didn't expect it to be cheaper for the Chinese army at this time. After the Chinese army landed, they were stationed and gathered strength to prepare for the attack on Saigon.

On 17 May, the 100th and 101st Divisions of the First Group Army, which had set out from Hainan Island, landed in Quang An and Ninghai, and after landing, they went straight to Hanoi.

On 19 May, the 100th and 101st Divisions engaged the French outside Hanoi, with the two divisions of the Huaxia Army totaling nearly 30,000 men while the French had only about 5,000 men.

Because Lin Fei controlled Nguyen Phuc Zhao, so he issued an order to drive the French out of Nguyen Phuc Zhao's hand, and the Vietnamese in Hanoi supported the Huaxia army, and with the support of superior forces and Vietnamese, the French army in Hanoi was quickly defeated, and the Huaxia army occupied Hanoi.

On 20 May, the French Governor of Cambodia mobilized all 5,000 French troops under his command and went to Saigon to support the Vietnamese Governor in Saigon.

On May 21, the Russian envoy finally arrived in Hue, and the French also sent a 50-strong delegation to Hue to participate in the mediation.

As soon as the Russian envoy came to Hue, he gave Lin Fei a dismount!

The Russian envoy arrived in Hue at noon on 21 May, and Lin Fei received the Russian envoy and his entourage at the post house out of diplomatic courtesy, and also set up a welcome luncheon.

At the luncheon, Lin Fei met the Russian envoy - Isinlovsky, who was the uncle of the Russian Tsar Nicholas II.

Isinlovsky and Lin Fei met each other, first exchanged pleasantries, and then said: "Mr. Lin Fei, our Tsar Xià has agreed to mediate between your country and France, and I hope that Mr. Lin Fei can respect this wish of our Majesty and end the war when the conditions are right." ”

Lin Fei secretly sneered, when to end the war is my own business, no matter who you are, don't want to interfere, but Lin Fei wanted to give Isinlovsky face on his face, so he agreed with a smile.

Isinlovsky then said: "Why didn't the Great Emperor of Vietnam, Nguyen Phuc Thanh, attend this mediation, if Nguyen Phuc Zhao did not attend, the mediation would not have been able to make substantial progress at all." ”

Ruan Phuc Zhao was very dissatisfied with Lin Fei's arbitrariness, which Lin Fei was clear, Lin Fei was worried that Ruan Phuc Zhao would take advantage of the opportunity to contact foreign envoys to make secret treaties with foreign countries and rebel against the Chinese Empire, so he put Ruan Phuc Zhao under house arrest in the Forbidden City, and did not allow him to come out, nor did outsiders enter to see him.

Lin Fei said with a smile: "I can represent Ruan Fuzhao with full powers, so Ruan Fuzhao doesn't need to attend at all." ”

What Lin Fei didn't expect was that Isinlovsky actually put his face down directly, and there was already anger in his voice, "Mr. Lin Fei, this mediation must be attended by Nguyen Phuc Zhao, otherwise there is no need for our Russian Empire to continue to preside over mediation." ”

Isinlovsky's insistence on letting Nguyen Phuc Zhao attend mediation is due to his own wishful thinking, that is, if Isinlovsky can make an alliance with Nguyen Phuc Zhao alone, then legally speaking, Russia will stick its foot in Vietnam, after all, Nguyen Phuc Zhao is now the nominal king of Vietnam, what treaty he signs, with whom, Lin Fei has no right to interfere, and Lin Fei cannot deny the signed treaty.

Lin Fei knew well about Isinlovsky's little abacus, and of course he couldn't let Ruan Phuc Zhao meet him.

Lin Fei saw that Isinlovsky's attitude was very arrogant, and his displeasure arose spontaneously, this mediation was made by you Russia, not me Lin Fei invited you here, and your attitude of taking the initiative to come is still so arrogant, it is simply unreasonable.

Lin Fei raised his voice slightly, and said proudly: "Mr. Isinlovsky, since your country does not want to preside over mediation, I think the mediation will be forgotten, and I will definitely help Ruan Phuc Zhao drive the French away." ”

Isinlovsky didn't expect Lin Fei to be so tough, the cup in his hand loosened, fell to the ground, and fell to pieces with a "pop", Isinlovsky hurriedly used the cup on the ground to cover up his embarrassment, "I'm really sorry for breaking your cup." As he spoke, he beckoned someone to pick up the debris, and went far with this effort.

Isinlovski and Lin Fei faced each other for the first time, and Lin Fei won a big victory.

That night, Lin Fei was preparing to go to bed in Ruan Fu Baojiao's room, these days, Lin Fei slept in Ruan Fu Baojiao's room every day, although Ruan Fu Baojiao screamed every time, but Lin Fei was very happy every time she came.

Li Zhihan suddenly reported outside the door: "Your Majesty, the Russian envoy Isinlovsky wants to talk to you alone. ”

Lin Fei looked at his watch, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, it was so late, what could Isinlovsky talk to him? Lin Fei was puzzled, got dressed, and went to the reception room to meet Isinlovsky.

After a meaningless exchange of pleasantries, Isinrowski spoke first, "Your Majesty, I have come to see you today to make a deal with you. ”

"What deal?"

"If you cede a part of your territory to us, Russia, we can support your country and drive out the French power in the South Seas." There is a great difference between the Russian Empire and other empires, that is, when Russia invaded, it was particularly fond of occupying land, which had a lot to do with the fact that Russia was a country with a relatively large proportion of agriculture.

Lin Fei's heart instantly became angry, Isinlovsky was so shameless that he actually put forward a territorial claim to himself, and the conditions offered were only to support himself, and it was not clear what the specific support law was.

Lin Fei was overjoyed and angry, and when he heard Isinlovsky's words, he didn't look angry, but smiled and asked, "What part of the territory do you want me to give to your country?" ”

"We want an island, and that's New Guinea." The island of New Guinea is the second largest island in the world (after Greenland), located in the eastern part of Sulawesi, covering an area of nearly 800,000 square kilometers and rich in forests.

The island was inhabited by indigenous people, but from the 16th century onwards the island was invaded by Western colonists, including the Dutch, English and French.

After Lin Fei won the victory in the World War in the South Seas, he sent troops to develop the island of New Guinea, as for the Dutch, British and French on the island, they met one and killed the other, anyway, this island is isolated from the world, no matter what Lin Fei does on the island, no one else knows.

As soon as the Russians opened their mouths, they asked for 800,000 square kilometers of land, and such a shameless lion's big mouth was unprecedented in the history of the world.

Lin Fei sneered, "Mr. Isinlovsky, please don't say any more, I won't give up the territory." ”

"Oh? You're not going to cede territory anymore? Isinlovsky's tone was full of threats, and when he heard Lin Fei, he nodded heavily, Isinlovsky shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin Fei, if you don't agree, then we, the Russian Empire, will have to support France." ”

Lin Fei really couldn't suppress the fire, you Russians are too much to treat yourself as a dish, you come uninvited, you just have to see Ruan Fuzhao, and now you have the idea of our Huaxia territory.

Lin Fei no longer suppressed his anger, and said sharply: "Mr. Isinlovsky, your country is really too much, we are now in a state of strength on the battlefield, how can we accept such conditions as yours." ”

Isinlovsky grinned, suddenly took out a check from his pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Lin Fei, "Mr. Lin Fei, if you agree to my conditions, then this check is yours." ”

Lin Fei casually glanced at the number on it, 100,000 pounds, this amount is simply an astronomical amount! It was customary for the Russians to bribe their opponent's diplomats, and when Russia negotiated with Li Hongzhang, they secretly gave Li Hongzhang three million taels of silver, and as a result, Li Hongzhang signed a traitorous treaty.

Lin Fei was furious, and directly slapped the check, brought up the palm wind, and shook the check to the ground, Isinlovsky picked up the check in a panic, and said in surprise: "Mr. Lin Fei is disgusted with less money, I can give you more money......

"Shut up! Say no more! Lin Fei stood up and angrily reprimanded Isinlovsky: "Mr. Isinlovsky, I can tell you plainly, I will never betray the national territory, let alone betray the national interests because of my own selfishness, Mr. Isinlovsky, please go back." ”

Isinlovsky frowned, "Mr. Lin Fei, why don't you love money, aren't you Chinese?" The Chinese should regard money as their life. ”

"Do you have to betray the interests of the country if you love money?" Lin Fei choked Isinlovsky speechless with a word, Lin Fei stood up, didn't even say goodbye, and walked out directly.

After this meeting, Lin Fei fully realized that Russia is not a shameful country at all, and that in the future, if there is a diplomatic battle with the Russians, he must always be ready for battle.

However, Russia's sphere of influence is far away in Europe and the Far East, and they can't reach it in the South Seas, and it is difficult for Lin Fei's troops to reach the Russians' sphere of influence...... (Welcome everyone to join the Canghai readership group - 423214695)
