C445 dangerous journey

Since ancient times, Emperors had always been lonely. This kind of sour tone was not a casual ridicule from the literati, but a fact that was like iron. Especially for an emperor like Napoleon III who relied on schemes and coups to rise to the top, there was not only loneliness at the top, there were even terrifying conspiracy arrows at the top.

Napoleon could understand the pressure exerted on him by the United States, Prussia and Italy. After all, those countries had close ties with Xiao Letian, and they even had interests in each other.

However, he did not expect Xiao Letian to still be able to influence the British foreign policy, and that the Royal Navy would actually brazenly provide support to Xiao Letian, without caring about the friendly relationship between the two countries.

In the years after Napoleon III came to power, he spent all his effort to maintain his honeymoon relationship with Britain. The two countries had won a battle with Crimean War and an expedition to the Great Qing Empire.

Was it easy to maintain such a situation? It was not easy, Napoleon III bowed and kneeled down, he was very careful, he had already hidden all of his family's pride.

But just like this, the gap between the English and French s was still hard to bridge. The French Emperor was very clear that in the construction and operation of the Suez Canal, France would obtain the most shares, which made the United Kingdom very angry. In addition, the United Kingdom had always wanted to monopolize India, which was a minefield that France needed to be careful of.

"Perhaps Xiao Letian's appearance was just the trigger. The British people's change in attitude might have long been part of their plans …" French Emperor shook his head and drank two glasses of wine before calming himself down.

He sighed as he threw away Bismark's protest letter and also took away the secret information that came from England. He also threw away the consultation letter from the American ambassador on the way to the trash, a weak North America that had just fought a civil war and still dared to challenge the France.

Just as Napoleon III was about to open another document, his bloodshot eyes instantly widened.

"This, this, this, this …" What was going on? What had happened in this world? "Why is everyone going against me …" The furious emperor flipped everything on the table onto the floor. He was so angry that he almost had a stroke.

"Even the Austria came to plead for Xiao Letian? Why did even Austria have to plead! Are you pigs? Xiao Letian had clearly beaten you all up in the Shiqiao uplands until all your teeth were lying on the ground, why did you all say such kind words? Is this still the Earth on which I live!? "

Napoleon III did not know that the Austria had already reneged on a very generous treaty with Prussia, and the Prussian did not punish the Austria at all. They had given their brothers face, and Xiao Letian had contributed greatly to this agreement.

Compared to the lives lost in the battle in Shiqiao uplands, Xiao Letian was even more of a help to Austria than the damage he could cause.

Prussia, Italy, the United States, Britain... This included the addition of an additional Austria, which made the entire Western Civilization stand opposite to France. This kind of pressure was already something that Napoleon could not withstand, no matter how angry he was, he could not withstand such a huge diplomatic pressure.

"Someone come …" Someone come! " Amidst the emperor's angry roars, his secretary, his attendants, and the officers on duty all ran in. They were so frightened that their faces were drained of blood as they looked at the mess in the palace.

"Convene the envoys of Paris and announce my latest order to them... Get Molière and his Expeditionary forces to immediately withdraw from East Asia, France will forgive Xiao Letian's crimes, and everything is for peace … "

"Go, immediately make the arrangements …" At that moment, Napoleon III seemed to have aged ten years. However, when all his subordinates left the Hall of Mirrors, the warlike emperor's face immediately became sinister.

"Xiao Letian! Do you think you've won? Hehehe … I believe in Molière's ability, the current Ryukyu is probably already a sea of blood and fire right? "

"It's almost half a planet away, by the time my orders are sent to Molière, the war would have already ended, and everything that you have will be destroyed … Without a base, you are just a dog struggling to its death! An assassin's bullet can end your life … "

"Hahaha …" A crazed laughter came from within the Hall of Mirrors.

When Xiao Letian entered the port from Sinai Peninsula, the communication channels for the telegraph network between Europe and Suez Canal were not complete. However, when he returned and prepared to return home, the telegraph network from Europe had already arrived.

With the King's public declaration, the French army guarding in Egypt would definitely not dare to act against Xiao Letian. All they could do was use their murderous gazes to express their anger, and use their influence to threaten the entire Sai Harbor hotel. They would not entertain Xiao Letian.

In this era, the French had the most influence in Egypt. This group of people did not like Xiao Letian anymore, and no one in Egypt dared to go against them. In the end, all the things that Xiao Letian had done in the Mediterranean ended here.

The new army on the docks would never forget the indifferent eyes and hostile words of the French colonial officials.

"Mr. Xiao, I have to inform you in advance that the security in the Sinai Peninsula is not very good and we, the French military and police, do not have enough people to protect you. If we were to encounter any accidents in the port, the Government of France would not be responsible …"

"Also in the Red Sea, the Sea of Arabian, the Indian Ocean … "There are many pirates here. I hope your European luck has not run out. We look forward to meeting you again …"

After saying these hostile threatening words, the Colonial Office quickly completed the procedures for Xiao Letian and the others for crossing the border. Then, like avoiding a plague, they left the port.

"Pah …" "What is that thing!" The countless brothers of the New Army angrily scolded.

Xiao Letian wanted to curse a few things as well, but before he could even open his mouth, the Prussian diplomat and the British officer came forward to welcome them.

"Prime Minister, you can't stay here. Right now, Sinai Peninsula is too dangerous for you. According to our local insiders' reactions, the sand pirates in the desert have suddenly changed. They are committing crimes five to six times more frequently than normal …"

"If it weren't for the permission of the French, these tribes would not have been so rampant. Prime Minister, you have to leave this place immediately. You cannot stay here even a second longer … There is already a British merchant ship waiting in Red Sea. Once in the Sea of Arabian, we, the Indian Ocean Fleet will provide you with protection … "

Just as the British official finished speaking, the Prussian intelligence officer interrupted his words, "Prime Minister, the situation here is not looking good. The news from the merchant ships from the countries that have returned from East Asia is very troublesome to deal with!"

"Businessmen from all over the world are talking about it. Rumors about your death in battle are spreading all over East Asia. Even in Japan, this kind of news is spreading. Together with the rumors, there are countless newspapers and photos of your bayonet …" Who but the French would spread such rumors? "

"The expedition fleet led by Ambassador of France Molière should have already reached the Ryukyu according to the normal speed calculation. Clearly, this was a rumor created in advance by France. It was meant to strike a blow to your morale …"

Although he had made all sorts of pessimistic speculations about the situation in his country, it was only when the accurate information was passed on that he realized the reality was far more cruel than his speculations.

"Awesome, this Molière is truly worthy of being the trusted bodyguard elder of Napoleon III, his blade has even pierced into my weak point … Let's go, let's leave the Port Said immediately, let's leave Egypt immediately … "

"This is what I call moving a rock to smash one's own foot! I did not expect that my plan of attacking the French would be taken advantage of by them. "

The British and Prussians had long prepared a camel train. Xiao Letian and his team didn't even have time to eat before they rode their camels through the city straight towards the Red Sea.

The Sinai Peninsula had now become a huge construction site. The desert region which was located 200 kilometers from the Port Said to the south was densely packed with workers. Hundreds of thousands of Egyptian workers were as busy as ants under the command of the French supervisors.

Forget about Xiao Letian feeling danger now, even his brothers and the Egyptian guides that he hired were a little scared. Wasn't it supposed to be a few days ago that the French had increased their number of troops? Why were there fewer garrison troops on both sides of the canal?

"God bless me, I saw the red moon a few days ago, is the desert going to bleed? God bless... " Pious Egyptian guides pray when they have time, and they grow up in the desert with this extraordinary sense of danger.

"Damn it, this bunch of Frenchmen definitely have a conspiracy. The greatest possibility is that they are trying to agitate the desert bandits to attack us. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to relax their guard so easily …" "Speed up, the camel train will speed up, finish these 200 kilometers with the fastest speed possible …"

"I've already bought all of your camels, those that are dead from exhaustion can all be considered as mine. As long as we can get on the ship safely, the remaining camels will all be yours for nothing!"

The Egyptian guide looked at more than a dozen bags of silver coins and his eyes lit up. "Oh my God, you are so generous..." "Don't worry, I'll do my best!"

This was the first time Xiao Letian realized that a camel could run as fast as a horse when it was anxious. The three whips smacked against the camel's body, causing it to run in pain and roll up a mud dragon in the desert.

"Cough, cough, cough …" This was simply too unbearable … Cough, cough, cough, you're taking my life … " Xiao Letian almost choked to death.

Xiao Letian did not know that the little suffering he had suffered was nothing at all. In the depths of the Western Desert, a thousand of the Arabian's cavalry was killing each other crazily. One side had over four hundred valiant desert robbers and the other side had formed an alliance of five or six tribes.

Both sides were now fighting with bloodshot eyes. Horses and camels were charging back and forth in the surging yellow sand. Sharp scimitars were harvesting lives while blood and broken limbs filled the battlefield.
