C1993 Counsellor yield (2/2)
The Englishman had already made her stance clear, the last straw had fallen and La Ku closed his eyes as he roared out loud while clenching his teeth, ”Retreat … Let them come! ”
”Counsellor!” The surrounding military officials cried out in pain.
With a boom, the Marine Corps pushed forward again, and those French soldiers who were dodging crashed into their comrades behind them. A large part of the formation collapsed, and more than a dozen of them fell to the ground in a sorry state.
Almost at the same time, the British soldiers with their butts on their hips came ashore, and with rifles in their hands began to circle the Marines and build a separation zone between the Chinese and the French.
”Relax, please relax! We're here to mediate the dispute, not to fight... ”
”What are you doing? Why is the rifle pointed at the Chinese envoy? ”
”You … I'm talking about you! Don't you know that this general is the Count? ”You're crazy …”
The British were a bunch of gaffers, and as soon as they came up they began to pick at the French, angering the officers.
Xiang Ying had finally reunited with Bing Tai. Their expressions were self-evident, the final phase of today's conflict had finally arrived.
Xiang Ying purposely yelled loudly in front of, ”General Xiao … ”Please allow our soldiers to control the area within three blocks of the Consular House. From now on, this is the territory of the Chinese people …”
”Search the entire city, we must find our missing soldiers!”
”What about the map?” We want to separate the defense zone from the British, we have to lock the entire Port Said! ”Search the entire city …”
”How dare you!” La Ku bellowed: You are declaring war!
This time, no one bothered with him. Xiang Ying curled his lips and said, ”Sorry, we are just looking for our soldiers. When we find them, we will naturally return this port to you!”
”Let me remind you, since you didn't give the order to open fire just now, then don't expect a confrontation. According to military strategy, you have already missed the best moment to attack. If you attack now, you won't have any chance of winning at all!”
La Ku's eyes darkened until he was about to faint, but at the last moment he heard Xiang Ying's devilish voice.
”Counsellor, why are you still hesitating? Is it a declaration of guilt after all? Or is it a crime to lose control of the entire Port Said? ”
La Ku's eyes suddenly lit up: What do you mean? Do you mean to say that if you get an apology, you will withdraw? ”
Xiang Ying said in a low voice: ”I have never said that, but I will not rule out the possibility … Of course, this kind of unpleasantness is not the condition we were talking about! ”
”Apologize and declare that I want it too, and I want the compensation too!”
”Blackmail! This is blackmail! ” La Ku fiercely growled, ”You will go to hell! ”You will definitely go to hell …”
”Alright, let's hurry up and make a decision. The British general will be coming ashore soon …” This mess of yours is even worse! Do you really want to negotiate with Major General Jie Sen one more time? ”
”No …” Don't... I... I agree to your conditions! ” La Ku gave in in the end.
