C1916 Ambush Countdown

The white veil covered her face, and the woman riding on the lightning fast horse was called Yi Kelamu. She was the sister of La Deng, a noble from Suez Port, a woman who had received a good education. Her maid was a spy who had infiltrated the Canal Company.

The Canal Company usually had two standards for recruiting local employees. Those who understood English and French belonged to the management, and most of them went out to take charge of specific jobs.

The servants and maids in charge of internal affairs had chosen aboriginals who didn't understand foreign languages as their main concern was to maintain secrecy. As for the daily communication, they could use the Arabian language to communicate, or to temporarily teach French.

It was because of such strict security measures that Ferdinand and the others dared to brazenly discuss their plans during the banquet. In the end, it was still a result of his arrogance. The end of the nineteenth century was already in a stable phase of colonization, anything that could be suppressed would all be suppressed and those that dared to resist would all be killed.

The attitude of the colonists towards the colonists, from the earliest resistance to the final compromise, had now become a habit of numbness. India was a good example. The people and the King of the Land there were already used to the colonists' rule, and they even felt that this rule was natural.

Once the colonization entered into the stabilizer, their wild European arrogance was greatly encouraged. Maybe, in the hearts of Ferdinand and the others, the natives were just a bunch of uncivilized beasts, a little stronger than animals, so they didn't need to worry too much about their threats.

It was because of this that they did not think that the natives of Egypt had begun to mix their food and water with private goods, much less that a maid who could understand French had taken their plot away.

After Yi Kelamu found out about the Frenchman's conspiracy, she did not discuss it with his brother and just left a letter behind to steal his horse.

As for his maid, under the order of the young mistress, she started to plot against Ferdinand. The French consul did not even know that his favorite iced tea had already been secretly mixed with contaminated water.

The kind Yi Kelamu had a strong sense of right and wrong. When she found out that her benefactors from the east were about to enter the French encirclement, she could no longer sit still. The bold her actually left home at night.

The desert in the Middle East was not a good place. Many tribes were herdsmen when they grazed, turning into bandits the moment they saw the caravan. It was very dangerous for single girls to travel alone at night.

Fortunately, the two brave private soldiers noticed the Miss's actions and quickly chased after her, wanting to bring her home. However, their master's lightning horse was not something their horses could compare with, they still couldn't catch her after running for an entire night.

"All of you, stop chasing …" Either protect me to see my benefactor in the East, or get lost! The ungrateful will be punished by God! "

The two warriors scratched their ears and faces anxiously, thinking that even if we didn't agree, we wouldn't be able to catch up with the lady's lightning BMW. In the end, we could only follow behind and protect her like a ghost.

Yi Kelamu had not drunk water for an entire night. Her lips were dry and cracked, and her heart was set ablaze.

"Don't go any further. The French have ambushed a lot of cannons on the fifth station! They also hired Bedouin bandits to shoot at you... "

"As long as we open fire, these Frenchmen will have an excuse to intervene, and at that time, the north and south rivers of the Great Bitter Lake will all be sealed. In the end, all of you battleships will be trapped inside the Great Bitter Lake!"

"Can a battleship that is trapped in the desert survive? The French consul also said that he would use this opportunity to unite with many countries in Europe to declare war on you. The time you are trapped is the time for the French to use their diplomatic efforts! "

"Don't go, don't let the French know. Leave immediately and go back to the Red Sea …" Even if we have to take a detour to the corner of the good fortune, a waste of time is better than death! "

Yi Kelamu was indeed an educated talented girl, she actually knew the Good Hope Corner, and actually understood the most basic knowledge of geography. This was truly remarkable in that era.

Right now, there was a little problem within the Great Bitter Lake. After the two merchant ships had been cut, the north river had a merchant ship failure. It was said that a steam steamer had lost her power due to a boiler failure, and was stuck in the river unable to move forward.

The Canal Company was organizing a tug to pull out the ship, but the river was temporarily unusable. This time, the United Fleet could only slow down once again. If they were to slow down, the other merchant ships that were left behind would start cursing and cursing. Every day wasted was money for those merchants.

It was the fifth station in the town, which was about ten kilometers away from the Zhiyuan Warship. This was the entrance to the north channel of the canal, where the Great Bitter Lake resided.

The Canal Company had an authority here, which regulated the passage of the boats in the canal. The French ambush was located behind a sand dune that was located to the north of the town, near the mouth of the river.

The two French spy s who were lying on the sand dune quietly looked at the busy river in the distance. Their pocket watches were ticking loudly as they placed them on the sand, indicating that it was already 1: 30 in the afternoon.

Not long later, the sound of sand came from behind the two of them. The leader of the mercenaries quietly crawled over, "Gentlemen, there are only six hours left until the start of the attack. Shouldn't we hand over the second batch of gold?"

"My men have been eating salted pastries in the desert for a week. If I don't have the money to see them again, I can't guarantee my combat power!"

The scar-faced mercenary forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and the two Frenchmen looked at him in disgust, "Retreat!" "I'll naturally give you the gold that you deserve. I paid you guys a third of the gold previously, but I'll give you another third before the war begins. I'll only settle it after I finish my work …"

"This promise will always work. We won't lose even a single gold coin!"

"But, it is already 1.30 in the afternoon. When the sky turns dark, it will be the beginning of our attack. My brothers can't wait!" "Gold, we must let them see it, or we won't work hard!"

"Greedy poisonous snake …" "Fine, I'll give you the gold. Number Two, go to the fifth station and bring back the third of the gold so that he won't scream in my ear like a fly!"

Scarface was not angry at all. When he heard that there was gold, he did not care about the other party's curses. "Hahaha, as long as there is gold, there is strength behind it. Hahaha …"

However, when he left the sand dune and returned to his resting place, he cursed in a low voice with a gloomy face, "You still dare to call me a poisonous snake? You bunch of ambushers are just poisonous snakes! "They sent troops to subvert the Chinese nation, but when they failed, they would secretly stab them. They were despicable and shameless!"

"I am only doing this for Gold's sake. Without Gold, I would have already thrown you two into the desert to dry your corpses!"
