C3425 Failing to admit the debt (1/2)
”Explanation? Apologize? With your attitude, you still want to find me to be courteous? ”
Xiao Hexin pointed at the chaotic Norton Palace behind the Baron. The red carpet on the flagpole on the lawn also flew away, while the ceremonial soldier began to look for bullets. The people who were arranging the tables scattered and fled, knocking over the long and cold dining tables.
In the distance, the three hundred soldiers of the Nordtown Palace were rushing to the main gates to reinforce the soldiers. There were even soldiers rushing to report to the military camp outside the city.
”We, the Chinese, have taken over Annan. How can you put out such a small amount of people for such a big thing? More than ten veterans wanted to get away with it? Are you still declaring to the public that you are a Frenchman who has left for a while and will come back sooner or later? ”
With a single sentence, he revealed the Old Baron's little scheme, making the French Governor feel awkward. He was really trying to advertise it this way to the residents of the Saigon.
In his propaganda, France had only temporarily leased the benefits of Annan to the Chinese for three years.
Anyway, those barbarians had no idea about the inside story. At the very least, when he left, his face was a little better!
He didn't expect that the Chinese would even ask about this, but the Governor was also prepared to go all out. ”What kind of ceremony are you preparing? That's my freedom. There are no clear rules in any treaty. Are you not convinced?”
”Pass down my orders, ceremonial soldier will leave me two, leave one of the flagmen …”
Hi... This was truly a competition of strength, the soldiers beside Xiao Hexin were so angry that their noses were about to crook!
Xiao Hexin was not angry nor was he cold as he replied, ”Alright, alright, I won't pick ceremonial soldier, but I want to ask you … Where is the information? ”
”Information, what information?” Old Baron immediately woke up from his stupor and glanced at Xiao Hexin, then quickly looked towards his side with a guilty conscience.
”Are you playing dumb with me? Where is the census register? What about the most detailed map? ”What about hydrographic maps and maps with contour lines?”
”Where are the hydrological data for the Mekong River? Where are the detailed data for all the estuaries, reefs and waterways along the coast of Annan? ”When are you going to hand over to me …”
”No!” Old Baron screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, ”What the hell are you talking about? ”I don't understand. I'm just handing over the security for you. I don't know anything else …”
”Haha …” You really know how to play dumb. Then let me ask you, after handing over security, how many days do you intend to withdraw your troops? ”Speak!”
Old Baron was enraged by Xiao Hexin's overbearing tone. ”This is the territory of the France, our soldiers have the right to station here!”
”Bullshit!” This place has already been ceded to us Chinese by your Government of France, what about your colony? You're just trying to deceive a fool like civilian of Annan, and you still want to steal my idea? ”
”I … I … I …” I am providing protection for the merchants of France, our army has the duty to protect the overseas Chinese! ”
”Bullshit!” Do you take us Chinese to be decadent Qing Dynasty? You said to send troops to protect an alien? In a territory controlled by the Chinese, not even the British would station their troops.
”Humiliation, this is France's humiliation! His Majesty will definitely punish you! ”
Xiao Hexin found a flaw in that moment, he immediately shouted to the reporters in the army behind him, ”Did you hear that! You hear me... This guy is from the royalist party, he's against the France! ”
Old Baron was so angry that his blood pressure was rising to the limit, on the verge of fainting. You're too... This is too shameless! ”
From the corner of his eyes, Xiao Hexin saw that there were already around 600 to 700 Saigon citizens surrounding them.
