A huge change suddenly occurred, and all the Prussian soldiers were stunned. The two-meter warning distance could not guard against these martial arts masters from the east. The two guards officers almost watched helplessly as the sword light like a splash of wind was placed on the prince's head. on the neck.
The adjutant who was bowing and holding the wooden plate was even more unlucky. He was hit hard by Xiao Hexin and fell to the ground with his face bruised.
Are these the Eastern sheep that Britain and France talk about? Aren't these a group of desperadoes? These hateful British guys and French bastards actually deceived the entire Europe.
After all, Karl was a battle-hardened legion commander. He quickly calmed down. He secretly used his arms and found that this short Chinese man was actually full of strength. The arms restraining him seemed to be made of iron. Same.
"Chinese people, I will give you one last chance. Let me go immediately. I will forgive you generously... If you insist on going your own way, death is waiting for you..." Karl's face turned red, and his dignity suffered a serious blow. challenge.
"Translate... what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and translate for me..." Xiao Hexin dragged the prince and yelled at Jonas.
It was only then that Jonas finally came to his senses. His frightened hands were shaking like chaff. "Calm down, gentlemen, please calm down..."
"Calm down when you fart. See for yourself how calm I am. What I want is a translator. Translate for me immediately..." Xiao Hexin screamed desperately. He finally dragged the prince into the new army. The brothers picked up Spencer. The muzzle of the gun is blocked and exposed to the outside world.
Jonas did not dare to neglect and quickly started the translation work. After Sima Yun and others understood Prince Karl's threat, everyone sneered.
"Threatening us with death? Are you so naive? Since we dared to cross half the world and enter Europe alone, we were already prepared to die. None of us thought we could go home alive..."
"Brothers, do you remember our slogan before we set off?" Xiao Hexin shouted, and received a thunderous response.
"Sacrifice Xuanyuan with my blood, sacrifice Huaxia with my life!" The surging murderous intent rushed outward like a real substance, and the three thousand Kaiser's Imperial Guards were robbed of their momentum.
At this time, Prince Carl felt regretful. When he saw the desperate light in the eyes of these young people, he finally understood that the gossip spread from the United States was actually true.
Prussia currently does not have an intelligence agency in the east, so it is not clear what Xiao Letian did. However, Prime Minister Bismarck has an intelligence network in the United States. A large number of German immigrants live in the United States, and they pass on a lot of bizarre intelligence to their home country. , among which is the legend of the magical zodiac in the East.
Legend has it that Xiao Letian saved the life of President Lincoln, entered Naha alone and defeated 100,000 Japanese ronin. Moreover, this Qing native also regarded himself as a master of Western learning, and gradually became a big trend in East Asian politics.
At first, Karl didn't believe the intelligence provided by Bismarck at all. He thought it was false information fabricated by the Prime Minister to convince everyone. But when he saw these desperate soldiers today, he realized that this Xiao Letian was really not someone to be trifled with.
Karl suddenly fell into a dilemma. If he persisted, these crazy soldiers might have to be defeated to death. But now he couldn't surrender his face, and the dignified heir to the empire turned out to be a butcher. It was rumored that this kind of thing You can't go out without making the European royal families laugh to death.
The situation suddenly came to a standstill. Three thousand Imperial Guards surrounded the barracks. Foreign guns were stuck out of all the windows. There was even a low sound of wheels rolling over the stone road in the distance. No need to guess. Everyone knows that they are field guns made of bronze.
The three hundred warriors were not afraid. A short sword was placed on the prince's neck, and two Colt revolvers were pressed against his left and right temples. Nohira waved the sword arrogantly and shouted loudly.
"Let's fight, let's fight. We are just pieces of jade. We are worthy enough to be able to drag a prince to hell together. If you have the guts, just open fire on my chest..."
"Three hundred of us have enough money to kill one prince. This deal is so good. Father, Hyoutaro, will return your life to you today..."
The two Japanese were afraid that the matter would not cause too much trouble, so they kept provoking them with their swords. However, the other soldiers were no better. Looking at the black muzzles of their guns, they were not afraid at all.
"Come on, it's just a small scene of 3,000 people. We killed seven in and seven out among a hundred thousand thugs in Naha. Are we still afraid of you today? If I frown, I am not a good man..."
Jonas was going crazy. He was trying to persuade both sides hoarsely, and he had to do translation work in the middle. He was about to collapse.
After all, Karl is the only heir to the kingdom, and his life is related to the fate of the entire empire, so even though these guards are jumping around and making trouble, everyone has flinching in their eyes, and no one dares to take risks.
After a stalemate for a full twenty minutes, Prince Carl finally compromised. He blushed and whispered, "Let me go. I agree to your conditions and we can sign the agreement directly..."
"Who are you trying to lie to? If I let you go now, you will kill us all. Don't be so petty with me!"
"Then what do you want? We in Prussia don't want these silver coins. You can take them back to Asia...Adjutant, arrange ships for them..."
"It's even more impossible. The entire sea area near Europe is full of your foreign warships, and you are all ventilated. When the time comes, ten thousand guns are fired, wouldn't we be wronged!"
Karl's nose was already crooked with anger and he shouted loudly, "Then what do you want? Are you going to kidnap me and take me to China?"
"Eh? Don't tell me, this is really a solution..." Sima Yun said quietly.
The negotiations have reached a stalemate at this point. Both sides don't want to give in, and no one will compromise. People's patience has slowly been worn away.
Xiao Hexin and the others didn't know that just outside the military camp, outside the three thousand guards, more and more soldiers began to gather. Although they didn't know what was happening, they looked at the weapons and ammunition issued in their hands. Anyone knew this was going to be a war.
The encirclement expanded more and more, and basically all the soldiers in the new military camp were mobilized. In the end, more than 20,000 people formed dozens of rings and surrounded the military camp tightly, even a mouse Don't even think about running out.
In this situation, the soldiers on guard outside had no idea who they were going to fight. Everyone looked at the center of the circle in confusion, secretly guessing whether it was related to the rumors about the Chinese.
It is a pity that in a hostage situation, large numbers of people do not necessarily work. Under the strict defense of 300 dead soldiers, the possibility of forced rescue is basically zero. People are already prepared for the worst. If it is really impossible For rescue, we can only agree to the conditions of these Chinese people.
"Go and inform the mayor of Hamburg and ask him to be prepared. If there is really no other way, we can only agree to their conditions... This matter must be kept secret and must not be leaked. If the British and French navies are involved, it will be completely It’s a mess…”
Just when the idiot adjutant whispered the order, there was a sudden noise outside the camp, and a simple black carriage rushed in, with two colonels standing at the doors on both sides.
Being able to let the colonel act as the gatekeeper meant that there was definitely a big shot in the carriage. No one of the soldiers present dared to stop him. When the figure of the iron-blooded prime minister Bismarck appeared in front of the crowd, everyone subconsciously stood at attention and saluted.
The livid-faced Bismarck had no time to pay attention to the saluting soldiers, and walked straight into the military camp with broken doors and windows. Before the adjutant could say anything in return, the Prime Minister had already yelled at him.
"Idiot, bastard, why didn't you report to me when the prince came here? Do you understand this is a diplomatic matter? When did I transfer the diplomatic power to the prince? As an adjutant, you don't know how to remind and report... Come here. , take him down and lock him in a military prison to await trial..."
It's so majestic that a civilian official can actually judge an officer, which shows the status of the iron-blooded Prime Minister in the Kingdom of Prussia. The arrogant guards did not dare to refute. Two soldiers rushed forward and cut off the arms behind their backs and took the unfortunate adjutant down.
Bismarck wanted to scold the prince so badly. He didn't like Prince Karl in the first place, but now that this reckless guy had turned himself into such a virtuous person, the prime minister was even more angry.
But no matter how much trouble Karl got into, he was still the future master of the empire who was superior, and he had to save some face for him. In the end, he could only vent his anger on his adjutant.
Bismarck walked up to Xiao Hexin calmly and said softly, "If I guessed correctly, you should be the leader among these officers. I am Bismarck. I think you have heard it from Xiao Letian's mouth." My name and deeds..."
Jonas has a backbone this time. He stands next to the Prime Minister and translates with great confidence.
"The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Ryukyu, Xiao Letian, sent you to Prussia not to cause unnecessary trouble. He hopes that you will gain experience and that you can impress Europeans. He has never thought of letting you become kidnappers..."
Xiao Hexin was about to open his mouth to refute, but Bismarck raised his hand to stop him.
"I know what you are going to say, and I also know what happened today. First of all, I want to apologize to you for the recklessness of His Royal Highness. His decision is invalid. All diplomatic actions in the Kingdom of Prussia will be controlled by me. There is no doubt that he will lead..."
"Please rest assured that the Prussian nation is not thieves and robbers. We will negotiate a reasonable plan with Xiao Letian. The agreement you want will definitely be there. I approve that memorandum in principle..."
"But you must understand that cooperation agreements involving two countries are never easy to sign. I have to do the work of communicating with many people in the country, and you should understand. Similarly, your act of kidnapping the prince will If it harms the efforts between Xiao Letian and I, you should calm down..."
Bismarck looked at these young soldiers calmly, thought for a while and said, "Let His Highness go. I will ensure the safety of you and the silver coins. You have no choice now!"
