Chapter 1209 The Poisonous Snake in the Dark (Second Update, please subscribe)
Every day in London begins with the same view.

When most people were still sleeping soundly in their dreams, a round of rising sun leaped out of the distant horizon, gilded the thick clouds covering the city, creating the illusion of clear weather, and then disappeared without a trace.

In the early morning sun, Lawrence woke up, he looked at Dahoom beside him, looked at his body, his eyes were full of fascination, his heavenly name was Sheikh Ahmed, he was his lover ,all.

He had promised him that one day he would return Jerusalem to them, free the people of Heaven, and let them pray freely in the great mosque.

As long as you defeat France and Ming Dynasty, you will be fine!

The sun reflected on Dahome's shoulders. Lawrence stretched out his hand obsessively, and when he wanted to touch it, the harsh phone rang. He stood up quickly, put on his pajamas and went to the first floor. After answering the phone, he heard familiar voice.

It's Miss Lucy, Sir Mawson's secretary, the woman who's been courting him, and it seems... she's a good disguise too.

Lawrence was well aware that his personal life was shady, but he was obsessed with it, but he knew he needed a disguise.

"Perhaps consider it,"

After hanging up the phone, Lawrence hurriedly packed up, and drove to Sir Mawson's office without even having breakfast.

As soon as he entered the office, Sir Mawson greeted him with a smile from the center of the office.

"Ah, come in, Lieutenant Colonel, please come in."

Sir Mawson said after Laurence sat down.

"I have good news for you. Your plan has been implemented in Ecuador and it is very successful. As you said, you can let those robbers kill Ming people with only one or two hundred pounds. So what's the next step? What else are we going to do? Continue?"

"No!"

Lawrence shook his head directly and said.

"The next step in our plan is to wait."

"Wait? Is that what you said earlier, waiting for Daming's reaction?"

"The overseas Chinese were killed, what kind of reaction would Daming make?"

Lawrence lit a cigarette, exhaled the smoke and said.

"They will definitely not say that Ecuador is too dangerous, and ask the expats to evacuate to Quito or other big cities. If so, how can they continue to build railways and develop minerals? So they will definitely not suffer from being dumb!"

Lawrence sneered.

"The Ming Empire, like all European powers, just like the "Los Angeles Incident" that year, faced with the killing of expatriates, they directly chose to bombard them, and it is well known that the Ming Dynasty favors the expatriates."

In fact, Daming is not the only one who protects the overseas Chinese, it is the same all over the world. Is there any country where people do not protect their own people?It's human nature to protect one's shortcomings. If one doesn't protect one's own shortcomings, then one is protecting foreigners?I am afraid that only "My Tartar" can do it.

"So, if there is no accident, their ambassador will definitely negotiate with the Ecuadorian officials to ensure that this matter is thoroughly investigated and that the murderer is arrested and brought to trial. If the Ecuadorian officials cannot give them a satisfactory answer, they will Pressure will be exerted through official channels, including sending a fleet. If the Ecuadorian officials are unable or unwilling to take necessary actions to protect the safety of Ming nationals, then the Ming Empire may send troops into Ecuador. What will happen then? What? And this..."

Looking at Jazz, Lawrence took a drag on his cigarette and said in a relaxed tone.

"This is what we need. We just need to let the countries see one thing - signing a railway road construction contract with the Ming Empire may bring various risks - with the construction of the railway and the entry of a large number of Ming merchants, so The risks they bring may even threaten their own rule. If a group of robbers or anti-government forces kill a few Daming people, it will lead to a change of national regime, or even the demise of the country. By then, Colombia, Venezuela, and Might it be possible to agree to a contract for the construction of the railway?"

After exhaling, Lawrence said as the smoke dissipated.

"Of course, we all know that they are powerless to resist Da Ming, and they will eventually agree that under the strong pressure of the Ming Empire, what do we need? Let the whole world see the arrogance of the Ming Empire and their ambition to expand, That's what we need."

"So, now, all we need is to wait!"

said Manson, smoking a cigar.

"Yes! Wait! Wait for Daming's move."

"Then what happens if their investigation finds that the robbers were ordered by someone?"

"It does not matter."

Lawrence shook his head.

"First of all, they will never find out about us, so what if they do? Who would believe it? We won't benefit from it, and Daming will definitely benefit from the incident—they will get more privileges, More rewards, God, maybe this incident was planned and ordered by the Ming Empire itself, who knows? Colombians, Venezuelans, and of course Ecuadorians, they all think so."

This is exactly the vicious part of Lawrence's plan. His plan may not be so clever, but it puts Da Ming in a predicament. No matter how he chooses, it will eventually bring negative effects to Da Ming.

"God bless, it's a good thing you're on our side!"

asked Sir Manson, looking at Laurence with a smile.

"By the way, do you have a plan for what I told you last time?"

"There is already a plan..."

Lawrence nodded and continued.

After another ten minutes, Manson had learned most of what he needed to know, and sent Lawrence out as politely as he had received him in.As soon as Lawrence left, Manson beckoned Miss Lucy to come over.

"Send a telegram to Bombay..."

After telling her the content of the telegram, Manson specifically told Ruth to pay attention to the telegram sent from the Ecuadorian embassy.

Sometimes, there is no need to wait for some things. On the second day after Sir Manson met Lawrence, a telegram from the British Embassy in Ecuador was sent to Sir Manson. Looking at the contents of the telegram , A smile appeared on Sir Manson's face.

"That guy Lawrence really guessed right. It seems that this poisonous snake really didn't choose the wrong person! It seems that he really didn't choose the wrong person to implement this plan!"

While Sir Manson was proud, he turned his head back into the shadow. In the shadow, his bald forehead looked like the forehead of a poisonous snake. He was spitting out a letter in the shadow, staring at the target coldly...
