C1975 Chinese Army Capability: Shocking (1/2)
As if it was a demonstration, Xiang Ying and his men did not enter the French Consular House, but instead blocked the entrance and confronted the French army.
A French military official whose head was covered in sweat said angrily, ”Sir, since you want to negotiate, why don't you come in? Was it a demonstration to be in our way? ”
Xiang Ying's French was average, but the other party used English to communicate, which made it much more convenient. Xiang Ying smiled slightly, ”Go in? Who's going to negotiate with me? Since your Counsellor is not here, how do I know if you can protect my safety? ”
”What if some crazy guy fires at us while we're sitting inside?”
”You!” The French military official was furious. ”Please pay attention to your words. Such words are a provocation at the negotiating table!”
”Oh? If we say it, it would be a provocation! ”Then, how do you explain the fact that cannons have been fired at us in the fifth town?”
”A single sentence is a provocation? ”Then what should we think about when someone has done it …”
”Enough! This is blackmail! You are trying to humiliate our France, and you actually want to blame us for it … That is something that the desert bandits have done, it has nothing to do with our France! ”
”Hahaha …” Xiang Ying laughed, ”It has nothing to do with your France? You said the desert bandits fired their cannons just like that? Where did the artillery come from? How did the shells get in? How did you hide it from the French garrison? And why did these robbers start firing? Where was the starting point for the operation? ”Please answer me …”
The question rendered the other party speechless, ”What does this have to do with me!?” ”Everyone knows that you and Sha Russia are at war. You have a lot of enemies, and there are a lot of enemies that want to attack you …”
”Hahaha …” How good was it, to put the blame on Shao Russia just like that? Very good... Then let me ask you, what happened to the two sand ships that sank into the Port Said? ”What's up with the Mariana that's charging into the river?” ”.
The military officer waved his hand, ”I don't know about that. The canal passes through many ships every day. How would I know about the sand ships and the battleships …”
”The Mariana is in motion, too. Does the canal not allow us French warships to pass? We didn't know you were coming from the south... ”
”On the contrary, I want to ask you something. You clearly saw the Mar Ran Tower enter the river, so why didn't you stop? And instead, caused this collision!”
Seeing how indignant France was, Xiang Ying laughed, ”Haha …. Can't you see we're hanging the flag of failure? What do we do if we can't stop? ”
”You …” The officer was obviously not good at bickering, with just a few words, Xiang Ying's face turned red.
”Alright, stop talking to me. I need to talk to your high ranking officer. Your level isn't high enough at all …” After saying that, Xiang Ying ignored him and continued to pace back and forth in front of the Consular House's entrance. Behind him was a row of javelins.
He was trying to unwittingly put pressure on the Consular House, also trying to show off his heroic attitude. Gradually, the four French guards at the entrance of the Consular House started to feel a little helpless.
Among the French guards, there were always people who wanted to hide the wear of their sleeves. Some of them subconsciously felt that their leather boots were not polished enough, and the wear marks on the rifle butt made them feel ashamed. Even the earthy buttons on the military uniform was the source of their embarrassment.
The majority of the society's citizens relied on their appearances. Gradually, the crowd started to discuss among themselves. The women from Egypt stared at the eastern elves with shining eyes.
