Chapter 969 Gunshots in Paris (Second Update, please subscribe)
"A bunch of bloody cowards!"

When leaving Hyde Park with the chess box in hand, Lawrence cursed angrily.

"Those damned politicians don't even know what kind of mistakes they made. They don't even know what is the most important thing now! It is to disintegrate the rule of the French in the Middle East and do everything possible to attack the French... "

Lawrence was depressed, and not only because his credit was not mentioned, he knew of course that his credit would never be mentioned.But it doesn't mean that he doesn't have vanity, because of his vanity, he has been longing to return to Tianfang and encourage the locals to launch another big uprising against the French.

But the politicians in London have no interest at all.

"Not just cowards, but a bunch of short-sighted guys."

After leaving Hyde Park, Lawrence went straight to a nearby bar and continued his drunken life.

At least the United Kingdom is still very generous to him. Even if he has not been assigned any position, he is still paid the salary of the rank of lieutenant colonel on time every month.When Lawrence was drunk as before, what he didn't know was that it wasn't that the UK was too short-sighted, but that there were some things that the UK would never want to mention.

After all, the "Jerusalem incident" is such a big thunderstorm that even the British Empire... can't bear it.

Even, the reason why the UK is unwilling to get involved in Middle East affairs right now is because of a guilty conscience. Some things are too extreme, but it will make people restrain their hands and feet, lest the secrets will be leaked.

While Lawrence was intoxicated in the bar, Colonel Weinberger came to a club in the city.

"What situation did you get?"

Sir Manson, who was reading the newspaper, asked without even looking up.

"He's still eager to go to Tianfang."

Taking a cigar from the cigar case, Colonel Weinberg, lighting it, related the results of his meeting with Lawrence.

"He thought we should support the local tribes in exile and use them against the French."

"Hit the French?"

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Sir Manson sneered.

"Let the whole civilized world know that we are in league with the savages? Damn you, what did you do there? If it weren't for what you did, we wouldn't be as passive as we are now, Colonel, there wouldn't be any People sympathize with what happened to those people, and if we support those people, we will be the object of ridicule of the entire civilized world, which is entirely thanks to your actions."

Sir's words made Weinberg look very embarrassed, that action was instigated by him at the time, but... even he didn't expect that it would lead to such a result - the whole world sympathized with France, sympathized with the tragic Napoleon The fourth emperor.

While France has won widespread sympathy, it is difficult for Britain to intervene in local affairs. After all, Britain still needs to hang out in the circle of friends of "civilized countries".

Glancing at Weinberg, Sir Manson asked again.

"Will that person keep this a secret?"

"Sir, he was a man of great secrecy, and his devotion to the British Empire was unparalleled, and I can vouch for that on my honor."

The colonel's answer made Manson nod, and then said.

"Well, I trust your judgment, he... maybe at some point in the future, we will still need such a guy, who knows?"

When the voice fell, Sir Manson picked up the newspaper again and continued to read the news in the newspaper.

Sitting opposite him, Major Weinberg could easily see the front page news in the newspaper.

"Execute—in the name of God!"

Looking at the news, Weinberg couldn't help mourning the fate of his "old friend" for a few seconds.

Once upon a time, they had fought side by side in Jerusalem, and over the past few years, Sadat and his army had defeated the French army time and time again.

But after all, it still can't change the fate of failure.

……

Paris.

1881年3月13日6点30分，这一天的清晨特别冷。

Especially when a man was about to be shot by a firing squad, it seemed to be getting colder.

In the compound of a fortress on the outskirts of Paris, a Middle Eastern-looking man in military uniform stands with his hands behind his back in front of icy sandbags.At this moment, his eyes flickered coldly from time to time, staring at a group of soldiers standing 10 meters away.

Wearing the uniform of a French soldier, although he seemed calm, perhaps in order to relax his nervousness a little, he kicked the gravel on the ground with his toes.At this time, someone came over and covered his eyes with a black cloth.

This is execution!

When death was about to come, a priest came to his side, muttering words.

"May God forgive your soul!"

"God is not my religion, Father, I spurn you, you bloody invaders, you, destroyed everything, yes, it was you, the only thing I regret is that I didn't kill all of you..."

Amidst his curses, ten soldiers unbolted their guns and loaded their bullets.Amidst the "crash" of the rifle being loaded, the priest's recitation sounded more favorable.

The sound of the horn coming from outside the high wall just covered up the "aiming" command issued by the execution captain.

The world was silent at the moment, following the command of "shoot" issued by the captain.The sudden gunshot did not cause the slightest reaction from the outside world. It only alarmed a group of pigeons on the roof. They were frightened and flapped their wings and flew towards the cold sky.The lingering sound of the gunfire also dissipated in the noise of vehicles passing by outside the wall.

The officer who was executed was Sadat, the leader of the "underground resistance organization" in the French Damascus province. In the past four years, he led more than 5000 people to evacuate from Jerusalem to the desert. He has been active in the vast desert. Led the guerrillas against the French rule.

He was chosen as the "Emir" by the desert tribes, kidnapped and killed French nationals many times, destroyed French barracks, railways, and even attacked oil fields. With his death at this time, it should be said that he belongs to the Thus ended mass resistance in the Middle East.

It can even be said that from then on the Middle East will truly enter a period of peace.Except for a very small number of diehards hiding in dark corners, resisting the French colonial rule and the baptism of modern (ji) generation (du) civilization,
But... all this did not cause any waves in France. It can even be said that no one would care about the resistance activities in the French Middle East at all.

　What are the criteria for being asymptomatic?
　　I took a CT scan today, and the doctor said it was fine, but there was inflammation... no wonder the cough was so severe
