Although the rest of the French did not know why Aristide Briand had changed his attitude after reading the letter. However, they knew that France now had no choice but to accept the blackmail of the Indochinese resistance.

The leaders of the Indochinese Resistance Army were overjoyed. A full 500 million Chinese dollars in compensation! This money is enough for them to build a country. Once the country is founded, these people will be the main leaders of the new country!

Emperor Wu Haoxuan is only the leader of these three countries in name, and the actual power is still in their hands. Of course, there is one very important one. That is, they must follow the Chinese Empire. Otherwise, the Chinese Empire could change to an obedient lackey at any time.

"It's great to be able to come to an agreement, which is a good thing for both of you. Even, for world peace, it is a huge promotion. Imperial Vice Foreign Minister Gu Shaochuan said with a smile.

Subsequently, the French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand signed an agreement with the leaders of the Indochinese Resistance Army. Under the terms of the agreement, the French government renounced its colonization of Indochina and compensated the Indochinese resistance army for the loss of 500 million Chinese dollars. The Indochinese Resistance Army, on the other hand, was to release the captured French* servicemen after receiving compensation, and was not allowed to prevent French nationals from leaving the Indochina colony.

This was undoubtedly a happy outcome, as the Indochinese Resistance Army had finally overthrown the French colonial rule and was on the verge of gaining independence. In addition, it was also compensated with 500 million Chinese dollars. Although the French lost their colony of Indochina, they had to pay no doubt that they would be compensated. However, they succeeded in rescuing the prisoners of war and the vast expatriate. This is one more reason for the French government to convince the public.

After the signing of the agreement, the French did not even attend the celebratory reception provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, and returned directly to the French Embassy in China. On the way to the embassy, the French ambassador to China, Paul Claudelle, asked the questions everyone wanted to ask. That is, what exactly is the content of that letter.

"See for yourself." Aristide Briand handed the letter to Ambassador Paul Claudel with a solemn expression.

After reading the letter, Ambassador Paul Claudel had a very ugly expression on his face: "A bunch of despicable and shameless guys, how can they do this? It's shameless! ”

The letter, written to the family of a captured French* officer, details their miserable life in a prisoner of war camp. Because the Indochinese resistance army was poor, it was simply impossible to do much to these prisoners of war. The prisoners of war could only eat a little porridge a day, and at most they could keep themselves from starving, and it was impossible to eat enough. They are even forced to perform heavy manual labor. If Indochina is to develop its economy, it must develop transportation. These French prisoners of war undoubtedly became the best candidates for the road construction army. If tens of thousands of French prisoners of war work hard, in a year or two, the transportation environment in Indochina can be greatly changed.

In addition, the Indochinese resistance forces guarding the prisoners of war threatened them. If they don't work hard, they will be sent to the mines.

No international conventions have any effect here. The Indochinese Resistance Army, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than a chaotic army. Can these guys still be expected to comply with international conventions?

Therefore, the officer appealed in his heart to the French government to find a way to save them and get them back as soon as possible. Otherwise, they were not sure if they would have a chance to return to France alive.

If such a letter were to be published on the front page of a major French newspaper, it is undoubtedly conceivable what kind of sensation it would cause. When the time comes, the angry French people will definitely protest against the French government. And the French government is very likely to fall as a result. This move undoubtedly hit the French government directly on the seven inches. For this reason, they had absolutely no choice but to agree to the conditions of the Indochinese resistance. Of course, accepting such conditions is also a huge stain on this administration. But that's at least much better than being ousted by an angry populace.

When Aristide Briand returned to the French Embassy in China, he immediately contacted the country, and he reported to China the despicable methods that the Indochinese resistance forces intended to use. President Paul Dume and Prime Minister Pierre Laval both affirmed Aristide Briand's approach. Although, the compensation of 500 million Chinese dollars made them very painful. But it would be much better to give the Indochinese resistance 500 million Chinese dollars than to get them out of power.

On June 4, 4630 A.D., French Prime Minister Pierre Laval announced on behalf of the French government that from now on, the French government would renounce all special rights and interests in the colonies of Indochina. France did so solely for the benefit of the local population, as well as for the French expatriates and captured soldiers.

Although the French government has defended itself, it has still met with strong opposition from the opposition parties. However, when the majority of the population learned that it was for the rescue of the expatriates and captured soldiers, they were satisfied with the Government's expression. As a result, the French government, which had been mired in an economic crisis and had been declining, began to increase its approval rating.

The Indochinese Resistance Army also said that they would unconditionally release French prisoners of war, and French expatriates living in Indochina could also leave Indochina by boat at will. Of course, the reason why the Indochinese Resistance Army said that was entirely because the compensation of 500 million Chinese dollars had already been received. Otherwise, they would never be so easy to talk to.

Of the 500 million Chinese dollars in compensation, the Kingdom of Annam received 300 million Chinese dollars. The Khmer Kingdom and the Nanzhang Kingdom each received 100 million Chinese dollars. After all, the Kingdom of Annam was not only larger in size than the Khmer and Nanzhang, but also more populous. Today, the total population of the Kingdom of Annam is more than fifteen million. The Khmer Kingdom has only more than 3 million, and the Nanzhang Kingdom has only more than 2 million. Even if the two countries combined, they can't confront the Kingdom of Annam. Of course, now everyone is a vassal state of the Chinese Empire and a vassal of the Chinese Empire. Even if the Kingdom of Annam had ambitions for the Khmer and Nanzhang, it did not dare to express it. After all, the Chinese Empire forbade wars among vassal states.

On the evening of June 4, 4630 A.D., Emperor Wu Haoxuan held a banquet in the imperial palace to entertain the delegates of various countries who came from the palace. During the banquet, the main high-ranking officials of the imperial cabinet and important members of the military accounted for more than half. The leaders of the Indochinese Resistance Army have instead become supporting roles. Of course, these leaders of the Indochinese Resistance Army did not dare to say anything.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us celebrate Indochina's independence with the warmest applause. Soon, they had the opportunity to become independent nations and join the Empire's vassal system. From then on, everyone was a family. Wu Haoxuan said enthusiastically. Wait until these three countries join the vassal system of the empire and become vassals of the empire. The number of vassal states of the empire will be provided to a total of ten, which is already quite a lot.

"Bang Bang!" The military ministers of the empire clapped their hands and celebrated the victory of the Indochinese resistance.

After the French government renounced its colonization of Indochina, all countries knew that the French had to compromise. Of course, the French have no choice. If they don't compromise, they will pay a bigger price.

After the victory of the Indochinese resistance, they began to establish their own state with the support of the Chinese Empire.

At the end of June, the Kingdom of Annam, the Kingdom of Khmer and the Kingdom of Nam Chang were established one after another. The first thing the Kingdom of Annam did after its establishment was to reach an agreement with the Chinese Empire to return the territory north of the Majiang River to the Chinese Empire. In the next five years, all the Annam people north of the Ma River will migrate to the south of the Ma River.

At the same time, the people of these three countries also requested to join the vassal system of the Chinese Empire and become vassal states of the Chinese Empire. And, ask the emperor of the Chinese Empire to be their king at the same time.

The Chinese Empire immediately agreed to these three countries and joined the vassal system of the Chinese Empire. This increased the number of vassal states of the Chinese Empire to ten. As for serving as the king of these countries, Emperor Wu Haoxuan did not agree immediately, but was reserved first. After knowing that the people of these three countries pleaded repeatedly, Wu Haoxuan reluctantly announced that he was also the king of these three countries.

Wu Haoxuan concurrently served as the king of these three countries, which undoubtedly made the relationship between these three countries and the Chinese Empire even closer. And this also made the whole world know that the Chinese Empire was definitely the backer behind the Indochinese Resistance Army. Otherwise, the Indochinese Resistance Army would never have paid such a big price.

But even knowing that this is true. However, in the case that the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Annam and other countries did not recognize it, they had no choice but to envy the Chinese Empire and obtain huge benefits.

After the Kingdom of Annam, the Kingdom of Khmer, and the Kingdom of Nam Chang became vassal states of the Empire, they had the same rights and obligations as other vassal states of the Empire. The empire will provide guarantees for their security, but at the same time, the political, diplomatic, and military affairs of these vassal states will also be under the control of the empire. Over the next three years, the Chinese Empire will help the three build strong land forces. Among them, the Kingdom of Annam will form ten infantry divisions, the Kingdom of Khmer will form two infantry divisions, and the Kingdom of Nam Palm will form one infantry division. In the event of war, their army would be at least eight times larger. (To be continued.) )
