Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Since Xiao Letian was an expert at being a scoundrel, then naturally, the disciples who had gone through his teachings couldn't be wrong. Especially Xiang Ying, who had drank the ink before, learned a hundred different things, and had once circled the entire Earth to increase his knowledge.

Putting aside his thoughts and stubborn nature, just looking at this person's abilities were still very strong. Even Xiao Letian had considered nurturing him to be his successor more than once, allowing him to be the Prime Minister of the two generations of the Chinese people.

Most importantly, he still had a lot of combat experience. After all, he had fought in the sea and had also bombarded the French colonial Dakar, so Xiang Ying himself had a kind of contempt for France.

This was a type of strong confidence that was based on the basis of victory, it was not something that Counsellor La Ku, who had been an assistant for his entire life, could resist. Under the suppression of Xiang Ying's powerful aura, Counsellor La Ku finally started to panic.

Tiny beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead. He was constantly calculating the difference in strength between friend and foe.

How many warships did the combined fleet of the outer Chinese and British of the Port Said have? Forty or fifty? How many do we have?

So many enemy battleships, what's the total number of battleships? How many cannons?

The more he calculated, the more alarmed he became. Although he did not know how many soldiers and cannons were on each battleship, but according to his calculations, the current alliance between the Chinese and British armies could provide at least 20,000 soldiers and at least 2500 cannons.

How many troops did he have? The Port Said and the soldiers in the nearby satellite towns combined did not exceed three thousand. How could they win against such a huge disparity in strength?

Although he had the shore defense large caliber Cannon as firepower support, it was still not enough. There were too many enemies!

When he thought about this, Counsellor La Ku's hands started trembling. It was a critical moment in the Empire, where Prussian troops from the north were preparing to provoke them, and the elites of the global colonies were transferred to the mainland.

This was the most chaotic moment of the France, was he really going to start the second war in Egypt? Could the Empire really win two wars at the same time?

No, no, no. I should have confidence in His Majesty the Emperor. But what can I do if I don't doubt it? If an unexpected war were to break out at this moment, then the strategy of the entire country would have to be adjusted, and the plans of countless departments would have to be drawn up anew.

Counsellor La Ku's worry was extremely accurate. Ever since ancient times, the war had been fought by a Pang large project who controlled the entire country, and now, no one knew how many battleships and merchant ships sailed across the vast ocean. Hundreds and thousands of French soldiers s were gathering towards the hometown of the France through those channels.

Countless war supplies were flowing back and forth across the sea, the railways, the roads, and the warehouses. The war supplies stored in the French ports were waiting for the ships to deliver them to the Home Country.

This was preparation for war. This was preparation for a Prussian provocation! Hundreds of thousands of people were collaborating on the relocation of such a large number of personnel and resources. Many of the plans had been completed six months ago.

It could be said that the current France was in a state of complete chaos before the war started. An accident at any one of the nodes would cause chaos throughout the entire network.

Tens of thousands of officials would have to come up with a new dispatch plan, hundreds of thousands of soldiers would have to change their destination, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of workers would have to double the workload … The entire empire would be in chaos.

Was the chaos so terrible that it might trigger a Prussian raid? Was Egypt about to become the source of all chaos?

What should he do? What about Fei Dinanzijue? What about the French canals?

Once the war started, the Port Said would definitely be captured, and the France would definitely fall into a situation where they were forced to fight on two sides. Prime Minister Iron-Blood would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, he would definitely take advantage of your illness to take your life.

But diplomats must have undergone special training. No matter how difficult the situation was, they had to stay calm in the face of blackmail.

Counsellor La Ku licked his dry lips and suddenly sneered. "War? Hahaha … Do you Chinese dare? You underestimate the friendly relationship between English and French s, don't think that blackmail will work in front of me! "

"Port Said is right in front of you, give the order! I saw with my own eyes that your cannons could shoot into my body. Do you think I would dodge? "

"I've gone through a lot of diplomatic negotiations. Do you think I would believe this kind of blackmail?"

"You make it sound like you are allied with the British paramilitaries. Don't forget that the mission of the British Navy is just to escort you guys …" "If they really are at a stalemate, they won't fire. I can see that much more clearly than you can!"

Xiang Ying secretly thought to himself that this guy was not bad. Although he didn't have much intelligence, he had said those harsh words just now too well.

Xiang Ying suddenly laughed, as if the balloon that had just been blown out of breath again.

"Hahaha …" Please sit, Counsellor. Don't be so impatient, let's slowly chat. It's only three-thirty in the afternoon, there's plenty of time … "

Xiang Ying picked up the already cold coffee in front of him and took a sip, "How about this! Counsellor, please try imagining such a scene. Will it become a reality? "Imagine, please imagine …"

"After such a serious conflict, both the Chinese and British sides are deeply concerned that the security situation in the canal has deteriorated and are now worried about the safety of merchant ships in both our countries and around the world …"

"Our nation's merchant ships were looted by desert bandits and our people were massacred by criminals... But France? "But there's no way to stop it at all …"

"Wait a moment, don't hurriedly refute me. Wait for me to finish …" Xiang Ying leaned his body against the back of the chair, comfortably twisted a few times, and then very easily continued the description.

"We can't let this kind of bloodshed happen. For the sake of protecting the aliens … "Right, right, that's right. Please record this phrase. For the sake of protecting the aliens, we were forced to send our own army to land …"

"At that moment, my dear Counsellor, you will see countless sampans appearing in the outer seas of Port Said. The British Army and the Chinese Army that are preparing to land here are densely packed together, covering the entire harbor …"

"They are marching towards the port with the peace cry. No one will take the initiative to attack the French soldiers and the Egyptian garrison. There are no bullets in our rifles! "Our grenades also buckled our helmets. No one came with threats …"

"Closer and closer …" Do you say we are emissaries of peace? And it's a bandit who attempted to invade us! "

With a "pa" sound, Counsellor La Ku almost shattered his own bones with a palm. This is aggression, and you are the bandits! "
