C333 The Weak Nations Weeping (2/2)
”The ancient people say that a man's wealth is his own ruin, our Ryukyu's islands are all made up of that flawless jade, there are too many people watching us, sooner or later we will all be eaten!”
With a bang, Jin Changsen's fist fiercely smashed into the wall. His strength was exceptionally strong, and blood splashed in all directions. The fence-sitter bellowed with all the strength in his chest.
”I know! Of course I know! You have read the master's book, and I have also read it. I have also failed to pull down the little lesson you have taught me, so how could I not understand what you have said! ”
”Wuwuwu …” But so what if he understood? The gap in strength has already been formed. Surviving in a weak country is already so difficult, what do you want me to do? What can I do? For a dying person who is plagued with a hundred diseases, other than hanging himself with the ginseng soup, what else can I do? ”
”Wuwuwu, Prime Minister! How come you're not here? How come you don't know whether you're dead or alive? If you were here, a miracle might have happened, but you weren't … We don't know anything about that godly technique that can snatch the spirit of heaven and earth for itself! ”
This was the sound of a weak nation crying, and also the reality of a weak nation facing off against each other. At that moment, everyone, including, retracted their resentment towards Jin Changsen, and sighed endlessly.
In the end, Jin Changsen was just a pragmatic person. He was loyal in his heart and he had his own morals, but he understood that people should bow their heads to reality.
This was a peaceful subject. He was not good at using medicine to remove the root of illness. He only knew how to use nourishing medicine to prolong the life of a government. There are too many such politicians in the history of mankind. Not everyone can be a hero at the top. Pragmatists are always the majority.
The city walls suddenly became silent. No one knew what to say, so the imperial guards stayed far away from them, afraid that the next second, they would be in trouble.
After a long while, Fan Lian finally walked over to him with a sigh and said softly, ”You have your reasons, but right now, we no longer have any path of retreat. Do you know why I've come back from the sea? ”Because I've already received the latest information …”
”Right now, Emperor of France has already sent out envoys to gather all battleships that can be used for expedition. There are a total of ten battleships with a total of six hundred cannons that are fighting their way here from the south. Furthermore, we haven't received any declaration of war until now …” ”My good lord, think about it, will these Frenchmen appreciate your weakness?”
”What!” Jin Changsen screamed in fear, and then used his hand to cover his mouth.
”The French are not declaring war? They sent their fleet directly to attack us? ”
What Fan Lian said was not wrong, it was all thanks to the good fortune that Xiao Letian had left behind. Back then, when the Tanggu Ocean Traveller had been attacked by the thugs, a French Merchant Shipping had provided help to Xiao Letian and the others, the captain's name was Ke Xijia.
Although Ke Xijia was a Frenchman, he was also a merchant. His close relationship with the Letian Firm had made him rich.
The merchants pursued benefits. He knew that if the expedition fleet destroyed the Letian Firm, it would be difficult for him to find such a good partner in the future.
Without much time to think, Captain Ke Xijia brought the information that the Expeditionary forces was about to ambush that Tyrant to that Tyrant, and coincidentally blocked the Fan Lian who was about to return to the Tanggu at the outer sea.
Fan Lian was so shocked that he almost stopped working when he heard it. That Tyrant City was really too important to Young Master, two days ago, he was even trying to communicate with an American cable merchant, wanting to build a communication cable from Tyrant to Tanggu. This showed just how important this city was.
The old shopkeeper did not say anything and immediately ordered a return trip, but he did not expect that right after arriving at Shouli City, he would see the swaying Jin Changsen acting in such a manner.
”Lord Jin, I have already told you all the information. Right now, the French want to fight a war of punishments in a fit of rage. Although it is said that the military cannot anger the troops, but the French have already done so. Would they accept your show of weakness in a fit of rage?”
At this time, Jin Changsen finally came to his senses, he suddenly extended his hand to wipe the tears off his face, and his waist once again stood perfectly straight.
”No declaration of war? Fight without a declaration! This is purposefully destroying my Ryukyu. Since you have already fallen out with me, then there is no need to be courteous, prepare for war! ”
”Jin Qing!” The young Shang Tai didn't dare to believe his own ears. He had never seen Jin Changsen so capable in battle before.
If a person wasn't forced into a dangerous spot, then even he himself wouldn't know how terrifying he was!
