Indochina votes against the Union

The referendum results coming in from Indochina paint a grimmer picture than expected. While few in the capital believed that the nationalist hotbeds would vote to join the union, it appears that nationalist sentiments are far wider spread than previously believed. In the event, no part of the territory returned a majority to join the union. Nationalist activists are already clamoring for immediate seccession from France, even at the cost of war, believing that this is the moment to gain their national independence.
