C2988 The Sad Song of the Colony (2/2)
Now that France was in trouble, the French legions and civil servants stationed in the canals were in a state of panic. They had no new orders from home, no money to replenish them.
But the soldiers had to eat and drink, and they had no choice but to tear it apart from the Canal Company!
Xiao Letian extorted and extorted a large amount of money when he was passing by, and the furious French Emperor did not allow the Canal Company to save anymore cash!
In addition, the British started robbing while the empire was in disarray. They violated the agreement and continuously increased the number of troops on both sides of the canal. They even dispatched troops to control the Canal Company in the name of safety.
Your French soldiers wants to steal the money? Sorry, this money is shared by all three parties, no one is allowed to rob!
When the situation was tense, the soldiers on both sides were in a stalemate. They even pulled the safety of their guns and loaded their ammunition as they confronted each other!
Finally, through the mediation of the local tribal elders, the two sides reached an agreement. The French regiment would not attack the Canal Company, but in special times, the British had to guarantee the supply of the French legion!
Eating a person's mouth was short, while taking a person's hand was short! That was not wrong at all. The British had tied up the tens of thousands of French troops stationed at the canal through the logistics supply line!
After that, the British started to point fingers at the management of the canal. Despite being the second largest shareholder, they started to attack the administration of the canal aggressively, and their trusted aides started to interfere with the daily decisions of the management of France.
The entire Canal Company was in chaos, and the management of the ships was inefficient!
The British management started to bully the French ships that no longer had the protection of their home country. In any case, your empire had collapsed and the Interim Government was trapped in Paris.
Even the French legions stationed in canals rely on our British supplies. Then, do you still want to think about it?
extortion, conspiracy, creation out of nothing... French Merchant Shipping s were accused of all kinds of smuggling, capturing people, and fined. Their goods were all confiscated to an innumerable amount …
Such unfair treatment had caused countless French ships to temporarily change routes. They would rather take the long way around to the Cape of Good Hope than suffer from such injustice.
Because of this, the number of French ships in the canal was two-thirds lower than usual!
Seeing this scene unfold before their eyes, all of the crew members could only cry to themselves. Only at that moment did they finally understand what being a powerful country represented!
”Your Majesty! Come back quickly... Only the Empire can protect our interests, only the Emperor can protect our people! ”
The poor galley, with her British flag, was waiting in line for the entrance to the canal, but she did not expect disaster to descend from the skies. For some reason, another French freighter was driven out of Port Said.
This incomparably angry French Merchant Shipping had nowhere to vent its evil fire, it actually took the chance to create an accident, and directly crashed into the Jia Lai class!
”Damn that British bastard...” Bandits who take advantage of the fire... I'll smash you to death! ”
At that moment, countless familiar country notes resounded from the ship across from him.
