C919 Sun Chujian's Counterattack

Within the slums of the northern part of the city, four black corpses lay within a dirty house. Molière was currently holding onto a revolver and carefully observing the scene outside through the window.

"Shut up!" Cover their mouths … " Molière's subordinates covered the hostages' mouths tightly, afraid that the distress signal would alarm the water ghost soldiers outside.

No matter how small Dakar was, it was still a small city with a population exceeding thirty thousand. It was not easy for Qiu Wei and the rest to find the hiding people in those tens of thousands of houses. As long as Molière could stall for time until dawn, he would win.

The chaos in Dakar continued, but after the group of soldiers passed by the slums in the north part of the city, it became unusually calm.

Molière looked out the window in large numbers and noticed that there were only a few black men who were stealing things scattered on the street. His heart finally settled down, and he waved his hand, signalling to them to release the captives.

Molière walked in front of Sun Chujian with an awkward expression: "I have to admit, your actions have already exceeded my imagination, and you actually aren't afraid of your identity being revealed? It's a bunch of madmen. In order to save you all, they actually dared to take such a huge risk! "

"What a great war friendship, I'm really touched …" Molière taunted. "From the perspective of a normal soldier and a normal citizen, those soldiers who ignore their own safety to save their comrades are heroes …"

"But from a statesman's point of view, your bravery is really foolishness... "Don't be unconvinced. One of the most important qualities of a qualified statesman and military expert is to know how to choose!"

"For the sake of you thirty over people, you did not hesitate to expose yourself, did not hesitate to break all of Xiao Letian's strategic arrangements, and even did not hesitate to attract the main body of the English and French's navy to annihilate him … I really don't know if you're stupid or smart! "

"Hahaha …" Was Xiao Letian training such a talent? I am extremely fortunate to have all of you as a group of hot-blooded and reckless martial artists. Therefore, you are destined to fail, no matter how many advantages you have previously gained … "

Hearing Molière's taunts, Sun Chujian did not get angry at all. On the contrary, his smile made Molière inexplicably scared, "Dammit, what are you laughing at? You think you've got me? Stop dreaming, you are just a bystander! "When you lose all your value, I will personally send you to the gallows!"

Sun Chujian curled his lips: "Fool in appearance but weak in heart..." Do you know that there is an old saying in China, 'all words are as good as one word?' "Of course you don't understand. Your shallow heart can't take on too much pressure, so you have to use words to vent …"

"Mr. Molière, you have been exposed!"

Molière rushed over and grabbed Sun Chujian by his collar. "I'm exposed? What did I reveal? Damn it, you just want to anger me and make me give you a quick death... So I don't have a witness, do I? You're a hero, aren't you? Your accomplices can escape with peace of mind, can't they?! "

"So you want to anger me …" Molière roared at the top of his lungs.

The corner of Sun Chujian's mouth rose, "Ever since you captured me, you have brought up the matter of you going to Paris to be my witness. If you are not an idiot, then this can only mean one thing, that Paris is an eye that you cannot avoid!"

"I'm sorry I used a word that only Chinese people would understand. Eyes are the eye of the formation, or rather, it is a key point of the situation, and it is also a place where danger and opportunity coexist … "The more you emphasize it, the more it proves that you are guilty. The more you are guilty, the more you hope to find some encouraging information from the outside world to support you …"

"Hahaha …" "Humans are just so magical. People only invest their emotions into people and things that they care about. Who would take a second look at things that they don't care about?"

Sun Chujian's eyes flashed with a light of wisdom, he sneered: "You think I'm bragging? Well, I can tell you my analysis... "Paris is the capital of France. There is no place for your emperor and your cabinet. I know that Napoleon III is a powerful Monarch, but unfortunately, the French who have experienced the great revolution do not like imperial power at all …"

"The Cabinet only submitted to the Emperor on the surface, but Napoleon III did not achieve absolute centralization of power. The degree of centralization of power in his hands is not even comparable to the backward Great Qing …"

"Under this kind of political system, even the emperor can only mobilize a portion of the country's resources. Until now, I have heard that the French Army's rear-line guns are not universal. One can imagine that the French cabinet and your emperor are at odds in terms of budget!"

"Molière, what do you want? I know very well that to obtain the evidence of the existence of the Zhiyuan Warship, to send the human and material evidence to Paris, on the surface it seems like it is to seek revenge, it is for the honor of the France … "It is all nonsense. All you are thinking is to help His Majesty the emperor and to forcibly approve the plan to replenish the military …"

"Eh? Why are you trembling? I've got something on my mind... You guys are going to bring the witness card back to Paris and show it to the fat politicians. Even the barbaric and backward Chinese people already have this kind of heaven-defying battleship, is it okay for the France not to add to their military expenses? "" No, no.

"A truly existing Iron-armored battleship, after a crazy bloody battle, the Dakar would definitely become the thorn that stings the France's heart. After the national dignity is damaged, the crisis of your emperor's rule will naturally be resolved, and even the gap in military spending can be resolved through the issuance of a few government bonds …"

"Hahaha, what a good plan! "Look, we Chinese aren't all stupid. Your little scheme can trick others, but others can't fool me …"

Molière's hand loosened, his face pale and frightened, as he looked at Sun Chujian as if he had seen a ghost. "You, you, you …"

Sun Chujian raised his bound hands, and used his sleeves to wipe the blood off the corner of his mouth, "What happened to me? Did you prick your weak spot? "Don't forget, from the Han Dynasty onwards, there has already been the appearance of the bureaucratic class in China. By the time there was the appearance of the Song Dynasty, China's bureaucracy had already reached a level of greatness …"

"When it comes to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the bureaucrats will be able to stand up to the Emperor … For thousands of years, our ancestors in China have left behind countless examples of political struggles for us to learn... Now, do you think I can't analyze your subtle thoughts? "Hahaha …"

Amidst the laughter, Molière's face became abnormally pale.
