C1928 A fart after tit for tat (1/2)

”You have to stop the ship and cooperate. This is a very serious conflict and we, France, have an obligation to investigate it thoroughly …”

”Stop the boat? Are you dreaming? Since you have already said that this place is very dangerous, why should we stay here? Are you going to detain us? ”

”My God! Is all the European coverage of you false? They say you are very skilled in international law and in foreign affairs. How can you be so low today? In accordance with the agreement signed between the Governors of France and Egypt, we in France have full responsibility for the security of the Suez Canal … ”

”Don't tell me that. Since you, France, are in charge of security, why are there people attacking us with artillery? That's a cannon, not a shotgun. Don't you know anything about it? ”

On the dry and sandy ground near the canal's west bank, Xiao Letian and his subordinates had already started fighting with Fei Dinanzijue.

General Jie Sen quickly walked over and said, ”Esteemed gentlemen, please calm your hearts. You are all true gentlemen, arguing like this is not really proper!”

”Decent?” Xiao Letian's expression did not change at all today as he bellowed furiously: ”I was the one who was ambushed, I was the victim, and in the end this diplomat actually asked me to stop the boat and cooperate in the investigation, how preposterous!”

This was the first time Jie Sen had lost his temper since the establishment of the star slope. Both of them had gotten along very well previously, and Jie Sen had already eaten countless of banquets on Zhiyuan Warship s and taken a lot of souvenirs.

In a trance, Jie Sen treated Xiao Letian as a gentle and refined monarch, a friend that he had known for the first time for a long time. But today, he immediately became clear-headed. No matter how kind and amiable Xiao Letian was, he was still a leader of the Hua Clan.

How could such a person be easy to get along with? Once he became angry, the atmosphere would be terrifying enough.

Ferdinand felt an unprecedented pressure. Other than when he was negotiating with the powerful politicians in Europe, he had never felt such pressure before.

An inexplicable sense of shame once again burned his face red. ”Esteemed leader …” Ferdinand said word by word, ”Please don't pester me like that, okay? Shouldn't you cooperate with the investigation after the attack? ”

”Even if it is a judicial case in life, as the victim of the victim, it is the duty of the victim to cooperate with the police in their investigation! Isn't this simple common sense? What's wrong with me asking you to stop and be investigated? ”

”Not only that, we will also mobilize the garrison around the canal and protect you as you enter the Mediterranean … You are also very clear about your relationship with the Russian side. What's wrong with us protecting you? ”

After all, General Jie Sen was not a diplomat, he felt that what Ferdinand said was reasonable. A request from France for the victim to cooperate with the investigation was also very reasonable.

”Mm …” Esteemed leader, what Consul said is not unreasonable, shouldn't you consider it … ”

”Consider?” Xiao Letian's eyes were wide opened, ”There is nothing to consider! Monsieur le Consul, everything you say is untenable before me! ”

”You say that the police have the power to demand that the victim be investigated? That is the truth within a country. When the victim and the police are in the same country, within the same system, both sides have already built up trust, which is why they have the duty to cooperate with the investigation! ”

”Excuse me, are we a nation? Do I have your trust as the victim? ”Speak clearly, I don't believe you. If so, then you have no obligation to cooperate with the investigation!”
