Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 285 Tiger Camp, Attack
"Everyone, please trust us, the Gallic roosters."

In a luxurious hotel in Peking, consuls from various countries sat in a spacious conference room.

The Gallicon Consul was standing at the head, waving his arms and giving a passionate speech.

"History has proven that we Gallic roosters are a resilient nation."

"Joan of Arc led us to a perfect victory back then."

The Eagle Country Consul's face turned dark. He wanted to remind certain guys, but he opened his mouth and finally closed it again.

The Gallic Rooster Consul, who did not notice the Eagle Consul's expression, continued to shout in an impassioned tone: "Napoleon later also proved our bravery."

The Russians and the consuls of some other countries all looked grim again.

"This time, our Gallic rooster is facing danger again. I believe that the warriors of our country will make this ignorant Ming Dynasty understand how to respect a strong man."

"Everyone, I am not here to alarmist. The Southeast Asian region has reached its most dangerous moment."

"This male lion in Ming Dynasty has just woken up from his slumber and is currently at its hungriest. It will eat all the food it sees."

"Today it is our Annan colony, tomorrow it will be yours, and then we will annex India and then develop westwards."

"Everyone, this world is big, but it is also small."

"There is only so much food in this world, and we can barely make enough for ourselves. If the Ming Dynasty gets involved, we will always live in the days of being dominated by the East."

The more he spoke, the Gallic Rooster Consul slammed the table and said, "To protect this world, to protect our colonies, and to protect our rising future."

"Gentlemen, please lend a helping hand."

"We need weapons, warships, artillery..." He glanced at Old Te and added leisurely, "And airships."

Lao Te twitched the corner of his mouth, looked up at the ceiling, and ignored the other party.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and the Gallic Rooster Consul knew in his heart that these guys would not take action because they would not see any benefits.

He gritted his teeth and said to everyone: "If we defeat the invasion of the Ming Dynasty, we, the Gallic Rooster, promise to give up some colonies, the mining of some minerals, and the export of trade."

Many consuls' expressions softened a lot, but they still didn't speak.

If they go to war with the Ming Dynasty, these benefits will not be enough to satisfy their needs.

The Gallic Rooster Consul felt a surge of hatred in his heart, but gritted his teeth and continued, "We are willing to spend 20% more than the market price to buy the weapons provided by various countries, but we don't have that much money at the moment, so we may need to borrow money."

Consuls, smiles appeared on their faces.

The Eagle Country Consul stood up and said, "Mr. Yu Kelong is right. This world is big, but also small. It cannot accommodate a rising Ming Dynasty in the East."

"Since the rise of the Ming Dynasty, our interests in the West have been violated many times. This is a huge stumbling block that blocks our progress. We cannot sit idly by and watch it continue to grow."

After that, he looked at the Gallic Rooster Consul and said, "We, the Kingdom of Great Britain, can provide you with 10 rifles, 500 cannons, a certain amount of ammunition, and four new steel battleships."

"That's great, thank you sir." Upon hearing that he was given so much, the Gallic Rooster Consul, who had just been unhappy with the Eagle Country Consul, suddenly felt that the old guy's face was much cuter.

Now that the Eagle Country has taken the lead, the consuls of other countries are no longer silent and have begun to speak out what their countries can provide.

Some provided rifle ammunition, some provided artillery, and some even provided manpower.

All these things added up are enough to replace the guns of all the Gallic Rooster troops.

What’s even more terrifying is that the number of warships provided by various countries reaches as high as 20.

Twenty steel battleships are almost an overwhelming existence in this era.

The reason why everyone present put in so much effort was not because they felt that they were all Westerners who needed help, but because they felt that the Ming Dynasty was rising too fast.

Now they don't want to go to war with the Ming Dynasty, so they need a force to stand up and delay the Ming Dynasty's powerful pace to buy themselves some time.

There is no need to let our country's soldiers sacrifice their lives for problems that can be solved with weapons and equipment.

After each country provided their supplies, everyone looked at Trump.

He was the only one among the consuls present who did not speak.

"Mr. Old Te, shouldn't you say something?"

The Gallic Rooster Consul asked with a smile.

Lao Te sighed softly.

Although he knew that this would happen after coming here, as a member of the West, he had to attend this meeting.

"Our country is at war, you know, so we can't provide too much support."

Lao Te first told his difficulties, then he paused for a moment and said: "We will provide 1 rifles and 3 rounds of ammunition."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent.

The Gallic rooster consul's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

It's just this little bit of stuff, it's not even enough to give to beggars.

"Mr. Lao Te, you should know what I want."

"As far as I know, the Ming Dynasty sold you ten airships, and these airships are already on their way."

Trump shook his head without hesitation: "This is impossible, and the President will not agree to it."

"More importantly, the Ming Dynasty sold it to us, but I didn't give it to you anymore. I was dragged to the battlefield to fight them. If the Ming Dynasty asks about it, how should I answer? How can our country communicate and trade with the Ming Dynasty in the future?"

"I'm sorry, sir." The Gallic Rooster Consul's face became colder and colder: "In that case, please go out. I think the representatives from the South will definitely want to enter this meeting room." "You..."

Lao Te stood up and slammed the table angrily, glaring fiercely at the Gallic rooster consul who wanted to kick him out.

The other party didn't care about his gaze at all, just looked at him with calm eyes.

"Well, I really can't do anything about the airship. Besides, the pilot who sent it to us is from the Ming Dynasty. If we suddenly ask them to change the route, they will definitely not agree."

"On behalf of Mr. President, I can provide you with two steam-powered steel battleships. This is my best effort."

"In addition, we in the United States will not provide a single soldier to participate in the war, and the two high-speed rail warships will also remove our logos. You can send your own people to drive the ships."

"If you are still not satisfied with these, then you can invite that poor guy from the south over here."

"I believe that if we fully cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, there will be absolutely no problem in dealing with those poor people in the south."

The Gallic Rooster Consul's expression finally eased a little.

As a capitalist country, they actually support the northern capital forces in their hearts.

They really look down on those poor guys in the south.

"Well, since you said so, sir, I will also make it clear in advance that we can't give you more in terms of profit distribution."

Now that the matter had been laid out in the open, the Gallic rooster consul did not hesitate.

Trump doesn't care at all. He doesn't think this war is a good idea at all.

He had the most contact with Wang Xuance and was considered to be the one who knew the Ming Dynasty best.

The Ming Dynasty's military strength and battlefield quality are definitely the best in the world.

Combined with various cutting-edge weapons, it is not an exaggeration to call the Ming army the most powerful army in the world today.

In his mind, the only way to defeat the Ming army on the front battlefield is to gather all the strength of the entire West.

The meeting was held perfectly and ended perfectly.

After the consuls from various countries returned satisfied, a detailed document appeared in the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei office.

Ji Gang, who had simply dealt with the affairs of the Ming world, sneered at the intelligence in front of him and said to his deputy beside him: "Send a telegram to His Highness and report it word for word."

Half an hour later, Ji Gang received a reply.

"Got it, keep monitoring."

After gaining support from Western countries, the Gallic rooster was no longer as soft and fussy as the sissy, and directly and high-profilely took over the Nguyen Dynasty.

And they confronted the Ming directly, demanding that it withdraw from their territory, otherwise it would be considered an invasion.

The Ming Dynasty was not to be outdone and gave a direct response, while also reporting extensively on the war in the Ming Daily.

The Chinese people, who had just gotten rid of the oppression of the Qing Dynasty and were slowly building up their national confidence, were outraged when they heard that these Western devils were going to seize the land left to them by their ancestors.

Many newly established schools even organized marches and came to the Consulate of French Guiana to protest.

The two newspapers exchanged verbal attacks and presented evidence to prove the illegality of the other side.

Anyway, they just throw dirty water and slander.

The public and the government were arguing fiercely with each other, but on the border battlefield, both sides were very calm.

We have to stay calm, mainly because we have entered the rainy season and the heavy rain has never stopped.

The trenches on both sides became drainage ditches.

The soldiers marching in it had to wade through knee-deep mud every day, and some soldiers in poor health even developed malaria.

Fortunately, the Ming army was prepared in advance, and the soldiers in trouble were immediately taken back for treatment.

The situation is slightly better for the Gallic rooster.

No, they have good physical fitness, but the soldiers patrolling and standing guard in the trenches are the ones they took over from the Nguyen Dynasty.

The soldiers and officers of the Gallic Rooster all lived in dry barracks and various rest areas to ensure sufficient combat power at all times.

"How long will it take for the heavy rain to stop?"

In the command room, Zhu Zhanjun unbuttoned his collar in annoyance and fanned himself vigorously.

Li Jing, who was observing from the side, was no longer as pure as before. His face was untidy and his clothes were covered with mud.

"According to our inquiries to local guides, it will take at least half a month."

"Half a month." Zhu Zhanjun's face darkened slightly.

His original plan was to advance directly south after defeating the Nguyen Dynasty, but a sudden heavy rain interrupted his plan.

It's raining here, but not anywhere else. The reinforcements from the West will arrive as quickly as possible.

Half a month was enough time for the West to gather support forces from the Southeast Asian colonies in the southern region.

Annan is a mountainous combat zone, and the attacking side is already at a disadvantage.

If we do not take advantage of the fact that the Gallic Rooster's strength is not sufficient and push the enemy into the sea, and wait for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive, the Annan War will probably become a protracted war.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanjun gritted his teeth and said, "No more waiting, let the Tiger Battalion move forward!"
