C1977 The threat of war (1/2)

Since Xiao Letian was an expert at being a scoundrel, then naturally, the disciples who had gone through his teachings couldn't be wrong. Especially Xiang Ying, who had drank the ink before, learned a hundred different things, and had once circled the entire Earth to increase his knowledge.

Putting aside his thoughts and stubborn nature, just looking at this person's abilities were still very strong. Even Xiao Letian had considered nurturing him to be his successor more than once, allowing him to be the Prime Minister of the two generations of the Chinese people.

Most importantly, he still had a lot of combat experience. After all, he had fought in the sea and had also bombarded the French colonial Dakar, so Xiang Ying himself had a kind of contempt for France.

This was a type of strong confidence that was based on the basis of victory, it was not something that Counsellor La Ku, who had been an assistant for his entire life, could resist. Under the suppression of Xiang Ying's powerful aura, Counsellor La Ku finally started to panic.

Tiny beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead. He was constantly calculating the difference in strength between friend and foe.

How many warships did the combined fleet of the outer Chinese and British of the Port Said have? Forty or fifty? How many do we have?

So many enemy battleships, what's the total number of battleships? How many cannons?

The more he calculated, the more alarmed he became. Although he did not know how many soldiers and cannons were on each battleship, but according to his calculations, the current alliance between the Chinese and British armies could provide at least 20,000 soldiers and at least 2500 cannons.

How many troops did he have? The Port Said and the soldiers in the nearby satellite towns combined did not exceed three thousand. How could they win against such a huge disparity in strength?

Although he had the shore defense large caliber Cannon as firepower support, it was still not enough. There were too many enemies!

When he thought about this, Counsellor La Ku's hands started trembling. It was a critical moment in the Empire, where Prussian troops from the north were preparing to provoke them, and the elites of the global colonies were transferred to the mainland.

This was the most chaotic moment of the France, was he really going to start the second war in Egypt? Could the Empire really win two wars at the same time?

No, no, no. I should have confidence in His Majesty the Emperor. But what can I do if I don't doubt it? If an unexpected war were to break out at this moment, then the strategy of the entire country would have to be adjusted, and the plans of countless departments would have to be drawn up anew.

Counsellor La Ku's worry was extremely accurate. Ever since ancient times, the war had been fought by a Pang large project who controlled the entire country, and now, no one knew how many battleships and merchant ships sailed across the vast ocean. Hundreds and thousands of French soldiers s were gathering towards the hometown of the France through those channels.

Countless war supplies were flowing back and forth across the sea, the railways, the roads, and the warehouses. The war supplies stored in the French ports were waiting for the ships to deliver them to the Home Country.

This was preparation for war. This was preparation for a Prussian provocation! Hundreds of thousands of people were collaborating on the relocation of such a large number of personnel and resources. Many of the plans had been completed six months ago.

It could be said that the current France was in a state of complete chaos before the war started. An accident at any one of the nodes would cause chaos throughout the entire network.

Tens of thousands of officials would have to come up with a new dispatch plan, hundreds of thousands of soldiers would have to change their destination, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of workers would have to double the workload … The entire empire would be in chaos.

Was the chaos so terrible that it might trigger a Prussian raid? Was Egypt about to become the source of all chaos?
