C1990 Stepping into Port Said (2/2)
Counsellor La Ku did not want to start a war, but the situation was urgent. The military officials had to make preparations, and the French soldiers who were hiding in the various military camps in the city all rushed over after hearing the order.
La Ku's eyes were spewing flames as he stared straight at Xiang Ying. He had already thought of everything clearly, ”It's all your schemes, two soldiers were kidnapped by you guys! ”You guys still want to blame us …”
”Your goal is still to occupy the Port Said, right? Are you determined to stand up for England? Hahaha … You Chinese have a phrase that I remember very well, which is voting, right? ”
”If the ancient Chinese wanted to be bandits, they had to kill an innocent person to prove themselves! Are you Chinese being ironclad to deliver a ballot paper to the UK? You can even play such a trick to help the British take over the canal? ”
Xiang Ying sneered in his heart, ”Sure! ”I didn't expect it to be a Chinatown, but your analysis is entirely one-sided and has the haughty air of a European!”
”Do you still think we want to be British lackeys? Do you really think that the Chinese cannot stand on their own feet once they leave England? Pui … What we want is your apology statement, and of course the money you just revealed! ”
Xiang Ying curled his lips: ”I don't understand what you're saying! I've brought twelve guards with me, so I'll have to take them with me today, or I won't be fit to wear this uniform! ”
”We need an explanation for today's matter. How about you shoot us to death here or … Or give the soldiers back to me! Immediately! ”Immediately!”
”Too unreasonable!” Counsellor, we can't tolerate this anymore, give the order! Arrest these Chinese and order the shore defense guns to fire! We have to teach these Chinese a lesson! ” The French army was in an uproar. The proud lads were about to collapse from anger.
”Shut up …” Counsellor La Ku bellowed, breathing heavily.
A war? Don't I want to fight? But how could they start a war with just the Port Said's 3000 armies? And those big, old, strange cannons?
It was fine to frighten the natives of Egypt, but did he expect to start a war with tens of thousands of allied forces?
At that moment, La Ku suddenly thought back to the story that Xiang Ying had told him. The scene that he had described with a teasing tone of voice was actually real.
The Chinese had landed now, not under the banner of maintaining the safety of the canal, nor the protection of the aliens. They simply came straight to the fray to gather people, and they put the dirty water of the kidnapping on the head of France.
What could they do? Shoot? As long as they heard the gunfire, the British and Chinese would have the excuse to fight back. In the end, it was the France who suffered.
”Item... ”Mister …” La Ku was suddenly as weak as a deflated ball, ”What exactly do you want!? What exactly do you want? ”
Xiang Ying laughed sinisterly: ”Let's not talk about what I want now, I want to kidnap my brother, can you take it out?”
”To negotiate this kind of thing, one must at least be equal in strength …”
Before he could finish his words, a loud voice came out from behind him, ”Xiang Ying! Why were they surrounded? Hahaha … With me, Bing Tai Lang, here, let's see who dares to be rash! ”
”All Army Assault... Landing on land! If the French ever shoot the first shot, we'll shoot back! ”
”Kill!” Countless soldiers jumped into the water above their knees and started marching towards the harbor in large strides.
