C1976 Chinese ultimatum

was a little bullied today, France was desperately trying to recruit their elites, the soldiers left behind in the colony were actually the garrison troops of the second and third string.

They don't train well, they don't pay well, they don't have good equipment … Therefore, all of the French soldiers that Xiang Ying saw were a little ragged, their military uniforms were only sixty to seventy percent new, and their weapons were also very old.

On the contrary, the Chinese side had carefully selected elite soldiers several times. They had spent a large amount of money to equip them.

However, the people did not understand what was going on. They believed in their own eyes. Now that the might of the French army was completely suppressed by the Chinese, this was an indisputable fact.

Today, this small appearance would definitely become a memory of the future of the people of Port Said.

When Countess La Ku rushed back to Consular House, everything that happened before him almost made him angry to death. The Chinese people just stood there arrogantly, while the soldiers under them were all in rags, like beggars.

However, this was a diplomatic situation. He could not get angry. He could only glare at that military official. His intention was clear. He wanted that brat to be punished.

"I am the Counsellor La Ku, may I ask who you are …"

Xiang Ying looked at him calmly, raised his hand, saluted, and then smiled as he extended his hand and shook it, "Hello, Counsellor. I am Captain Xiang Ying of the Zhiyuan Warship and have been entrusted by the leader of the Organization to settle this conflict …"

Upon hearing that this was the Zhiyuan Warship's Captain, La Ku's tightly clenched hands involuntarily trembled, before he was pulled back. If that was the case, it would be too disrespectful.

Great! You are the Captain of the Zhiyuan Warship, and the last order to attack was you? I've remembered your looks, this vengeful France will never forget it!

However, he didn't dare show it on his face. On the contrary, he had the smile of a diplomat, "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!" "This is not the place to talk, please come into the conference room and have a chat!"

"Take a break!" Stand at attention... All of them, disband! Free movement within a two hundred meter radius of the Consular House! "

Xiang Ying did not want to burden his subordinates, since an hour's worth of fighting was already enough to intimidate them, following his order, the 12 of them started to move, they wiped off their sweat and started to pace.

At this time, the citizens of Port Said finally dared to carefully approach these eastern soldiers. The girls were flirting with foreign countries, and the peddlers were trying to promote the fruit sugar cane juice in their hands.

Very quickly, these merchants discovered the huge purchasing power of this group of Chinese. These people actually used silver coins to pay the bill, although these kind of silver coins were unfamiliar to Port Said's people, they were definitely real silver coins after being appraised.

What was even more amazing was that almost every soldier had around 20 silver coins in their pockets, which made a crisp sound as they knocked against each other.

This increased the public's favorable impression of the Chinese, to the point that many of them had forgotten about the tyrannical collision that morning, especially in the eyes of the girls. Being handsome with a heroic bearing and also being rich, this was simply a dream Prince Charming.

In an instant, the twelve soldiers were surrounded by countless of fiery gazes. If this wasn't Consular House, the women would have dared to snatch them.

At this time, he was already sitting opposite of La Ku in the conference room, and only then did Counsellor La Ku realize a problem. "Respected Captain, why did you not bring your aide-de-camp or Registrars? Don't you need the minutes? "

"Hahaha …" "The minutes of the meeting?" Xiang Ying laughed and shook his head, "Where's the meeting? What was there to record? I only came here today to give you a unilateral ultimatum! "

"What?" "What do you mean …" Counsellor La Ku tensed up.

"Let's get straight to the point! The whole canal conflict must have been a plot by the French, right? From the fifth station's artillery barrage to the Port Said's clash, your plan was to delay us and then start the anti-Chinese alliance in Europe, right? "

"You are buying time for the French Emperor's diplomacy, right? Under such circumstances, what other negotiations do you think are necessary? "

"Enough!" With a "pa" sound, La Ku slammed the table. "Please have some manners, okay? These nonsense words without any evidence is an insult to the France! "

"Evidence?" No, no, no, even if I had the evidence, I wouldn't take it out now to tell you … Right now, I am giving you a unilateral ultimatum! "

"Your series of provocations in the canal has angered the Chinese and Great Qing. We are ready to adjudicate many countries! All the evidence will be made public in a multi-country tribunal... "

"The charges against the France are as follows. First, employing desert bandits to attack Zhiyuan Warship, this is a one-sided declaration of war!"

"Second, make use of our war relationship with Russia, and use the Austria's cannon, in an attempt to blame other countries …"

"Third, disregarding the safe navigation of the canal, attempting to sink the ship to block the canal, and besieging us …"

"Fourth, to brazenly open fire on the emperor of the Great Qing. This is already the truth. To declare war on the Great Qing …"

"Are these four counts enough? What do you have to explain? You still want to negotiate with me? "You've already declared war on us in fact. Do you still want to negotiate with me on an equal footing?"

"Framing! This was a false accusation! "Absolutely framed …" Countess La Ku stood up and roared, and saliva was flying everywhere.

Xiang Ying curled his lips and said, "If we frame something that is not framed, we can explain it in a multi-nation adjudication court … But now we have an agreement with the British side... "

"That is …" At this moment, the Suez Canal had completely lost control of the situation. The degree of chaos had already threatened the safety of the merchant ship … Therefore, the allied fleet has decided to split into half, and to stay in Port Said and Port Suez … "

"Help the France maintain order in the canals... "There's nothing we can do about it. The British have the most merchant ships, so they don't want to suffer any losses. What do you think?"

"No way!" Counsellor La Ku was like a cat that had its tail stepped on. "Absolutely not, the authority to manage the canal is in our hands, you have no right to guard here! And the navy is even worse... "

"No?" With a "pa" sound, Xiang Ying slapped the table and said, "Then you have to explain to us clearly how you are going to protect the safety of the canal, and how you are even going to attack the canal, we can only assume that you have lost control of the canal!"

"We are the Protectors! Do you understand? We can't just sit by and watch our people pass through such a dangerous canal! "

La Ku was already angered to the point of going mad, "You are declaring war! This is a declaration of war on the France! "

"Declaring war? Hahaha … You have already started firing your cannons, and now you are biting back at us, saying that we are declaring war? "

"Very good, then I can only apologize, this is the state of war, the alliance fleet outside the Port Said will move soon, I don't believe that your Port Said is made of steel! "I don't believe that we won't be able to take them down …"

"You …" La Ku was so angry that his blood pressure reached its peak, and he felt extremely dizzy.
