C1939 The sound of the Port Saids gunshots (1/2)

It wasn't just the Prussian intelligence officer who was moving. When a few familiar figures appeared in front of everyone's eyes, they realized that the British intelligence agencies were also moving.

It was precisely because of the arrival of Xiao Letian and Zai Chun that all of the intelligence agencies in the Middle East entered the state of first class preparation. Many of the hidden spies that had never been activated were passively used.

What was even more shocking was that the Intelligence from various countries had given the most strict orders, and there were even gunshots in the middle of the fire.

The French military police and intelligence personnel began to move and shoot to suppress these thugs who were setting fire to the flames. Soon after, the British and Prussian side joined forces and began to counterattack against the white dawn in the east.

The intelligence campaign was cruel, but most assassinations were done in silence. If the spies were forced to pull out their guns and fire at each other, then the situation was already so grim that they would not have to worry about anything anymore.

Gunfire was a taboo in the intelligence community, because once things got to this point, it meant that their intelligence network was on the verge of being exposed.

After today's conflict ended, the French side would definitely conduct a search and capture operation in the entire city. Those spies who exposed themselves would be able to bring out a group of people, and at that time, the entire Port Said's intelligence network would have to be completely refreshed with new blood.

The British had set fire to the ships less than five meters away. God knows how much kerosene the British had poured over them, and in just three minutes the entire warehouse had become a torchlight burning through the sky.

Raging flames sprayed out in all directions. The flames swirled in the air, and thick smoke rose into the air. The entire city was alarmed, and almost all the windows were opened as people peeked out in the direction of the canal.

At this moment, the French garrison was getting anxious. The light cavalry soldiers who were dying of exhaustion had finally reached the Port Said before the Zhiyuan Warship. After finding out that the Chinese had brazenly fired their cannons and sent their troops to land, the terrified French counsellor and the leader of the French garrison immediately ordered the canals to be blocked.

They were very clear that since Xiao Letian dared to shoot his cannons, he would definitely not listen to the orders of the Port Said's garrison. It would not work if he used his mouth to reason, and although the Port Said also had cannons that could fight against the Zhiyuan Warship's main cannons, but once the British artillery appeared on the scene, it would be a true war, and the British would have an excuse to fight.

It was impossible to start a war, they could only use other ways to keep the Zhiyuan Warship, then the only way would be to sink the ship and get two old cargo ships filled with sand and sink the canal. It was impossible for the Zhiyuan Warship to break out.

This was also France's last resort. The use of the Wine God and the Dover were over 80 years old, so there was no point in repairing them. If they could just float on the surface of the water, they would definitely capsize if they met with any big waves.

The Canal Company spent a small amount of money to buy these two ships. It was originally used as a precaution, but he never thought that these things would actually come in handy today.

The French took action, and the British and Prussian spy instantly guessed what the French were planning. Their strict orders were to protect the Chinese from entering the Mediterranean Sea, and this was a death order that had to be completed at all costs.

The British ignited the nearest warehouse, and the flames from the flames licked onto the second sail of the Wine God. The white and patched sail of the ship was immediately engulfed in flames, and the terrified Sailor cut the rope and threw the burning second sail into the sea.

Before they were ready, the Dionysus had to leave the jetty and head for the canal mouth.

Right after the anchor was untied, they met with a barrage of gunfire. A dozen or so armed men appeared not far away and took out their pistols to fire at them. The two Sailor s who were in the air were shot in the chest and fell into the sea while screaming.

”Protecting merchant ships... ”Annihilate these spies!” When the French soldiers finally arrived, they and the police tried to retaliate against the intelligence officer. The pier suddenly became a battlefield.

Once the spies were exposed, they would naturally not be a match for the regular army. The rifle's range and accuracy were higher than the handgun, and with the large number of people, the spies would soon be unable to resist. After leaving behind four to five corpses, the British and Prussian spy began to gradually retreat.
