C1994 Obtained Apology Statement

There was a limit to a person's ability to resist pressure, and there was no such thing as an unbreakable defense line in this world, let alone La Ku who had never been the second in command of a group before.

Layers upon layers of pressure nets that Xiao Letian had laid down were like a crescent moon tide as they roared and slapped towards him, completely destroying layer after layer of La Ku's mental defenses.

If they did not agree to the conditions set by the Chinese, then the only way out would be to fight, but fighting was simply impossible. Not to mention the fact that the British had already joined in, even with the Chinese Army, it was difficult to deal with the third rate garrison troops.

Port Said was the biggest port in Suez Canal, if she lost the entire canal, she would be completely paralyzed.

It didn't matter if he died, but were there still soldiers left in Europe? Prussia's arms were full, and all the diplomats in Paris were focused on negotiating with Prussia.

But the canal was the lifeline of France, and it had been built for eleven years, with an investment of nearly twenty million pounds. How could France possibly give up such a strategic location?

At that time, Bismark's chance would come. Millions of strong Prussian army would come. No, no, no. La Ku shook his head with all his might to throw the terrifying image in his mind out of the ninth heaven.

There was no other choice. The two evils compared to the light, and it was just a statement of apology, but it was only seven million Gold franc. Compared to losing control of the canal, it was a small harm.

"Good!" I'll give you this apology statement, and I'll also give you seven million Gold franc! But you must promise to withdraw the soldiers tonight! When morning breaks tomorrow, I must let the people of Port Said see that the city is still under their control! "

Xiang Ying turned his head and glanced at the sea. He saw General Jie Sen's figure and knew he couldn't delay any longer.

"Very well, I'll promise you that I'll give you an apology statement and compensation. I'll immediately order the soldiers to return to the sea …"

"Can you be the Lord of your Führer?"

"Of course, because I'm an ambassador with full authority. If you don't believe me, I'm willing to hold you hostage. After the soldiers leave, I'll be the last one to leave …"

La Ku clenched his teeth and said fiercely, "Alright! I believe you! "

Just at that moment, General Jie Sen's boat finally touched the dock, and the British high-ranking commander finally arrived.

"Inform the French. Tell their supreme commander to follow me!"

"Port Said will be on guard immediately! British forces control all blocks... Inform the French Army not to act rashly. We do not wish to start a war. We are only mediating the conflict! "

"What?" Two soldiers were kidnapped in China? What's going on … Can you French do anything? "With the security of the canal in such a state, which country's merchant ship would dare to come here again?"

Ships after ships of British troops began to land, two hundred, four hundred, six hundred... The streets near the harbor were filled with British soldiers in red uniforms, as if they were cooked lobsters that had turned to essence and were rushing towards the Port Said.

Xiang Ying moved closer to La Ku and said softly, "Why aren't you quickly returning to the Consular House? Are you really going to give the British another seven million? Do you have that much cash? "

"If you and I don't reach an agreement, who knows what price the British will offer. You'd better wake up …"

La Ku had already become a lump of clay that he could knead however he wanted. Holding Xiang Ying's hand, he quickly walked into the Consular House and returned to the meeting room.

"..." On the fifth station, in the town, the Chinese flagship Zhiyuan Warship was bombarded by unknown armed men. The duration was over fifty minutes and a total of 132 cannons were fired … "

"..." Chinese Army was forced to counterattack, and an unnecessary conflict occurred between him and the French army on shore. Once again, I express France's deep regret and apology … "

"..." Due to our mismanagement, which caused the warship to crash into each other, and also due to our soldiers not being able to control their emotions well, an accident happened to the Emperor of Great Qing Kingdom. To this, I express my apologies to the Great Qing Empire on behalf of the France, and compensate the Gold franc with seven million … "

This statement of apology described everything that had happened to the Zhiyuan Warship after it passed through the canal. Of course, La Ku did not admit that the bombardment was done by France, nor did he admit that the battleship was deliberately clashing with the Zhiyuan Warship.

Shooting at Zai Chun also became a misunderstanding.

Xiang Ying did not care about what La Ku said, he knew that this group of Frenchmen did not shed tears until they saw the coffin, and if he did not defeat them fair and square in the battlefield, they would not admit that he had committed any sins.

It doesn't matter if you admit it or not. All the Führer wants is this apology to prove that these things happened. As long as you, France, admit that these things happened, the Chinese at the negotiation table after the Franco-Prussian War will be able to ask for a price based on these facts.

When the consul's seal and La Ku's signature appeared on the sheepskin paper, it was as if his entire being had been drained of all his vitality, and he completely went limp on the chair.

Xiang Ying opened the sheepskin paper and carefully blew at it, looking at the apology statement written in English, he finally smiled in satisfaction.

"Remember what you promised me! "Retreat, retreat immediately …"

"Where's the money?" My soldiers are waiting to move the money... Rest assured, once I get the money, I'll leave immediately! "

"Greedy evil spirits! You are all destined to go to hell! " La Ku shouted, "Men, bring him to Canal Company's warehouse and give him all the cash. If there is not enough, Canal Company will write a promissory note!"

Xiang Ying took half a step back, politely took off his hat, and bowed to Countess La Ku. "Thank you, for the negotiation with you, I am very happy, and hope that the next time we meet, we can drink and have fun together!"

"No …" I never want to see you again! "You're leaving …"

Xiang Ying was not angry. He put on his hat and looked towards the furious Canal Company accountant, saying, "Sir, don't look at me like that, this small amount of money is nothing to your France. Compared to losing the entire Port Said, you guys have gotten a huge advantage … …"

The speechless accountant knew that he could not control the situation. He could only wipe his swollen eyes and lead the way.

Just as he walked out of Consular House's gate, Xiang Ying saw General Jie Sen rushing towards him, "Greetings General, Counsellor is waiting for you inside …" As he said that, he waved the sheepskin scroll in his hand: "Apologize and announce that we have received it. As for how you negotiate, I don't care, hahaha …"

Jie Sen's eyes lit up, "Oh? Got it, hahaha … Let me also meet this enlightened Counsellor, hahaha! "
