C1922 parietal wind retrograde (2/2)
”On the orders of the French consul Fei Dinanzijue, we ask you not to intervene militarily. Please close the cannon! ”Please close the cannon …”
”What?” Fei Dinanzijue was standing on the fifth station? ”How is this possible …” Of course Jie Sen knew who Ferdinand was, he was a diplomat highly regarded by Napoleon, and shouldn't be addressed as a diplomat.
”Eleven years ago, it was this Ferdinand and the governor of the Ottoman Empire, Egypt, who used their good offices to steal the right to open the canal from the British. This is an impressive crowd …”
”Didn't they say he had to retire last year? Why are you back this year? ”
General Jie Sen backed off. If there were no high-ranking officials present today, then the British side could even send soldiers ashore to counterattack, much less take advantage of the chaos.
Fei Dinanzijue was not an ordinary diplomat, he was born into a noble family and had been a politician for his entire life. Thus, if such a person went to London, he would definitely be welcomed by the Prime Minister.
This was the power of prestige, Jie Sen did not dare act rashly in front of him.
The aide looked at the troubled general and said in a low voice, ”Don't provoke a diplomatic conflict. Since the French have sent out their cavalry, we should hand over the authority to settle this issue to the French. After all, the management of the canal is in the hands of the French!”
”Damn it, why is that old man here …” It is most likely they, the French, who are responsible for this attack! ”
But what's the use of guessing? Without evidence, you'll just have to suffer the consequences.
French cavalry, who was running along the canal, shouted and rushed to the side of the British battleship. The group of Frenchmen had really put their lives on the line, they actually ignored the dangers of being shot by cannons and rushed to the nearest area.
”Stop the boat!” Please stop the ship... You've been attacked for no reason, so there's a high chance that there's an ambush ahead of you … ”Please stop the ship and wait for our protection...”
”Please stop the ship and wait for our protection... According to the regulation of canals, and according to the law on the safety of canals enacted by France and the Ottoman Empire... You must stop the ship, and we will protect your safety! ”
”Damn it, why are these Chinese ignoring us! Stop... Otherwise, the French military will have to take measures! ”
Boom! Boom! Boom! The incoming artillery shells continued to explode on both sides of the canal, and now even the British battleship did not dare to move too close, only the Zhiyuan Warship continued to move forward silently, his body had already been hit by four bullets, but he remained silent.
The French shouted, flagged, and beat the lighting signal... He used everything he had to order the Zhiyuan Warship to stop the ship, but the battleship remained silent like a ghost.
At this time, all the Zhiyuan Warship s had already entered the canal's channel, and were charging towards the north like lonely knives that broke through the ice.
Ferdinand was completely dumbstruck, ”What kind of method is this? Why did the Chinese keep moving forward when they knew we were going to block the river? Do they really think they can break through Port Said? ”
”Encountering an attack, he actually didn't retreat or fight, and instead went against the wind …”
”Look …” Consul, quickly look... There was movement at the entrance to the canal... The Chinese are releasing the boat! ”
