C420 windward standing (1/2)
The three heavy cruisers, according to the French standard, had to be equipped with at least 60 cannons per battleship, and the sail battleship era's cannons were evenly distributed between the left and right sides. This meant that there were a total of 90 cannons facing the merchant ships that Xiao Letian was riding on, as well as these brave fishing boats.
The thick wood cannon's door was opened, and the pitch black gun muzzles were aimed straight at Xiao Letian. The deck of the ship was filled with rushing sailors, and the sails that had just been lowered were being pulled up once again. There were rapid and chaotic French orders everywhere, and even after listening for a long time, people still could not understand what they were shouting.
However, everyone was not stupid. There was no need to guess what the French wanted to do. A sorrowful atmosphere spread out on the sea, and everyone was furious.
This was the sea of Germany, it was not far from the hamburger, why were these Frenchmen so arrogant? It was obvious that there was no powerful navy to bully Prussia.
”You Frenchmen are really pushing it too far. As men, you want to use such despicable methods to defeat them. You even want to use insulting women to restore your dignity?”
”No matter how weak the Ryukyu Kingdom is, it is still an independent nation recognized by the world. The laws of the world are not just for show, you dare to humiliate a country's prime minister like this? Do you really dare to treat the envoys of a country in such a manner? ”
”Not only that, but in front of you Frenchmen there are thousands of Prussian civilians aboard more than a hundred civilian ships! Are you all trying to kill the civilians? ”
Everyone looked at the barbaric threat of the French in disbelief. These proud Prussian were thoroughly enraged this time. German Nationality's unique Inherent Skill was successfully activated.
”Let them fire …” Let them step over our bodies... Let the whole of Europe see what a mob they are! ”
”Despicable and shameless devil …” Get back, we won't allow you to hurt Prussia's guests... the benefactor of hamburger! ”
~ This is battle qi, Xiao Letian anxiously looked at the dangerous situation that was about to happen, he could not understand the situation. No matter how Xiao Letian calculated it previously, he was sure that the French would not massacre the civilians. Right now, Prussia was in the midst of the excitement of defeating the Austria.
”Something's not right …” ”There's a problem here …” Xiao Letian's brain had already started to churn. ”With the French's intelligence capabilities, avoiding the Prussian Offshore Defense Fleet's patrolling won't be a problem, and they might even shoot and kill us Chinese people …”
”Even if we blow up the Portugal merchant ship, I believe that the diplomatic dispute caused by it would be resolved by the French. But how dare they act against thousands of Prussian civilians? ”This is a declaration of war …”
”How can this be? ”How could this be …” No matter how Xiao Letian thought about it, he couldn't figure out the crux of the problem, but Xiao Letian knew that France and Prussia definitely could not start a war. If they were to shoot their guns now, Prussia would definitely lose, and all his efforts would be for naught.
”Stop...” Send a signal to the French people to stop right now, I, Xiao Letian will go over right now … Do not fire! ” Xiao Letian jumped and roared, and very quickly, the hundred over Chinese officer s understood the crux of the matter, and they all jumped and shouted back and forth in German and English.
”Disperse... Prussian friends, we thank you for your protection... ”But don't make senseless sacrifices. Disperse, the Frenchmen will really open fire...”
”Thank you, thank you …” ”We Chinese will remember this friendship, but we cannot bleed now. War should not involve innocent civilians, please leave …”
Xiao Letian jumped the fiercest among this group of people, and in the end, he even climbed up to the tall mast and shouted at the Frenchman, ”I am Xiao Letian, I will not escape, I will stand here … ”If you let these civilians go, I'll leave with you …”
The mast had a very strong wind, Xiao Letian had to grab onto the rope with both hands to be able to stand firmly. After roaring three or four times, his throat was drowned by the ocean breeze, making him speechless.
If only he had known that Napoleon was such a vengeful person, he would never have slapped his face like that. Now that the situation had turned stiff, he was afraid that he might accidentally trigger an all-out war between the two great countries in the army …
Xiao Letian really did not dare to think about what would happen later, the possibility of this happening was extremely high, especially since the entire Prussian Nation was in the midst of experiencing victory and excitement, even the slightest provocation would cause this group of people to go crazy, and at that time, not even the King would be able to suppress them.
Xiao Letian was very clear on the situation of the Prussian military equipment. In a war like this, 80% of the ammunition reserves had been used up, 70% of the bullets reserves had been used up, and even the military rations were barely enough for half a month of war.
At that time, forget about the hope of revival in the Prussian Nation, even the small amount of money from the Sino-German fund would be lost. Therefore, today he absolutely could not allow these Frenchmen to kill anyone. The situation definitely could not get worse, even if he was arrested and sent to Paris, he still had some diplomatic hope. If he started to die here, then it would truly end.
