C1905 poison bankruptcy (1/2)
The scene immediately became dramatic. The group of local men who were shouting and shouting for a fight all rushed over with tears in their eyes. They hugged the three people in their arms and started slapping on the carpet.
Ma Hui and the other two almost died from the pressure. They really couldn't stand this kind of way of showing their enthusiasm. At this moment, the attacking youngsters at the door were also dumbfounded. The two adults rushed to the door and howled loudly. The group of stone-throwing children quickly scattered.
Struggling to get out, the horse asked, ”There is no time to lose, let me ask you, what exactly is going on? Why did the children attack us, and why did they say we brought the plague? ”
The imam said shamefully, ”I'm not sure about the details, but I would like to ask, why did you come to find us, relatives from afar?”
Ma Hui knew that the imam was hiding something, but this was not the time to be bothered with it. He had already wasted five and a half hours on a mission, and there was not much time left for that.
”I have come for this plague! We are not the ones who brought the plague here. On the contrary, we have the solution to solve this plague! ” Ma Hui shouted.
When the translator stopped translating the words, everyone was stunned by the imam's tearful eyes. ”By God, is what you said true?”
”That's right, not a single word is wrong!”
Time passed minute by minute, and Ma Hui began to explain in detail to the natives about sanitation and epidemic prevention, why they couldn't drink fresh water, and how to transport feces out of the city instead of burying them.
Just as Ma Hui was working hard, the conflict on the beach became more and more intense. On the beach where the boats were anchored, the French cavalry asked the medical team to board the boat and leave immediately, but Luo Houzi and the others refused to board the boat even before he returned.
The French did not dare to attack directly. After all, there were so many warships eyeing the sea, but they could not afford to lose their French dignity. The cavalrymen had no choice but to ride their horses closer to the Chinese in an attempt to drive them into the sea.
However, this was already the seaside, the medical team had nowhere to retreat to. Both sides were in a deadlock, and the smell of gunpowder was exceptionally strong in the air.
Royal Navy knew that the French and Xiao Letian were not going to deal with them, so the fleet had always kept the Zhiyuan Warship at the outer sea and protected it in formation. In other words, the row closest to the beach were all British battleships.
From a distance, General Jie Sen could see everything clearly. He put down his binoculars and grumbled, ”These Chinese people really love to cause trouble. What does the plague in Suez Port have to do with you? ”Well, it's time to get to the top with the French.”
”Truly asking for trouble … Ask the canal pilot ship what happened? If the French side harms the British guests, our soldiers will intervene at the first possible moment... ”
Right now, the scale of the British Army in the sea was not something that the Suez Port could resist.
The French officers on the pilot ship immediately gave the order to the harbor. After showing their unyielding attitude, the French cavalry surrounding the medical team didn't dare to force them any further, so they had to surround the medical team with a semicircle formation, preventing them from entering the city again.
As the minutes ticked by, the British lost some of their patience. ”What happened to the Chinese?” The canal will be empty in two hours. Why aren't you on board? Send a signal to the Zhiyuan Warship and ask what happened? ”
The medical team on the beach seemed to have become the focus of the entire port. The British were paying attention to this place, the French were also paying attention, and the Egyptian aboriginals behind the Cavalry were also gathering to watch the conflict, discussing it animatedly.
