Xiao Letian and everyone were dumbfounded. The media war in Europe was planned by Xiao Letian, but he never thought that it would become so serious.
In Xiao Letian's imagination, the Chinese series of reports is actually a channel for the Chinese to reason, and the desired effect is to cause quarrels between the two sides.
That's right, it's okay to quarrel. There is no need to win the quarrel, and we don't expect to win the quarrel. As long as you come and talk to each other, give the Chinese a chance to reason, and the European people can listen and understand, that's enough.
As long as the European people can have a channel to hear Chinese truth, then the appearance of these shameless politicians and kings will not be so ugly.
If they want to attack the Chinese as they wish and intervene militarily, they have to get past the will of the people.
As long as public opinion is still doubtful, Napoleon III and Benjamin and others will have to work harder to convince the people, which will virtually increase the difficulty of their intervention and increase their preparation time.
Yes, time is what the Chinese need most now. Xiao Letian's purpose is to hope that before the Franco-Prussian War, Europe will not impose sanctions on the Chinese, including military intervention.
When the Chinese and Prussians defeat France on the battlefield, the entire international situation will change drastically, and the so-called European anti-Chinese alliance will collapse on its own.
This was Xiao Letian's plan, but he never expected that he planned to harvest an apple but ended up with a big watermelon.
"Is what you said true? The French Emperor has begun a bloody suppression of left-wing workers' organizations? He also sent a Mediterranean fleet to try to besiege me?" Xiao Letian looked at Major General Jason and asked.
Jason looked at Xiao Letian and frowned and said, "To be honest, I can't believe that the situation in Europe has become like this... You still want to laugh? I really don't know where your sense of humor comes from, I Those in charge can say that the Emperor has made up his mind to kill you!"
"Hahaha... kill me? I'm afraid we have to go through the British test. Will the Queen and the Prime Minister let their distinguished guests die on the way to their guests? Hahaha..."
Jason's nose was so angry that it was almost crooked. He thought to himself that this person was too shameless, "Your Excellency, our British protection cannot follow you for your whole life, and we cannot guarantee that accidents will happen. Don't underestimate the madness of the French..." …”
"Okay, okay! General Jason, if you weren't completely sure, you wouldn't have told us so much. Now tell us what we should do!"
Facts have proved that bribery is sometimes the most effective way to open up interpersonal relationships. In Singapore, the Governor received the coveted purple clay pot, and General Jason also privately accepted Xiao Letian's gift.
It is precisely because of such a private friendship that Jason did not hide too much about the situation in Europe, but came to tell Xiao Letian everything, especially the French intelligence.
In Xiao Letian's view, the French Emperor was completely crazy. Maybe the rebels inside were more dangerous than Prussia outside, so he wanted to suppress the traitors first, and then fight against Prussia's maintenance.
He was too arrogant, and the brutal suppression at home would only make him even more unpopular. When the whole of Europe believed that he was a madman, the appeal of the Second French Empire would only continue to collapse.
"General Jason, I am very grateful for your concern, but I believe that an executioner whose hands are stained with the blood of the people is destined not to last long!"
"The situation in Europe is so chaotic, isn't it a great opportunity for the UK? If they are not in chaos, how can you put distance between you and them?"
Jason was stunned. He looked at Xiao Letian as if he wanted to guess what secret was hidden in this man's heart, but he could only see Yi Zhan's smirking face, but his eyes were extremely clear.
"Okay, Mr. Head of State, politics is not something that soldiers should get involved in... We will lift anchor and leave Sri Lanka tomorrow and head to the Suez Canal as quickly as possible. I'm afraid you won't have a chance to visit the Indian mainland!"
"Now the British Empire's Mediterranean Fleet is heading towards the Suez Canal from the west. As long as we can pass through the canal before the French fleet arrives and enter the Mediterranean, we have nothing to fear!"
Everyone opened the map and listened to Jason's introduction to the situation of the Suez Canal. "Now the French have stationed two brigades of troops on both sides of the Egyptian Canal, while our British Army has only two regiments, plus the French's numerous artillery positions, for a head-on confrontation. We will not take advantage..."
"But fortunately France has not declared war on you. They do not dare to actually use their troops to start a war. I guess the French will use two rogue tricks to deal with you..."
"The first one is to assassinate and create some bizarre conflicts. I hope you, the head of state, can restrain your men. During the process of passing through the canal, all Chinese soldiers are not allowed to disembark..."
"The second rogue method is to block the canal. The French may get a few large warships to block the canal in the name of malfunction. At that time, you will have to transfer by land..."
"But it's too dangerous to go by land. Egypt is the French Egypt now. As long as you go ashore, anything unexpected may happen..."
Xiao Letian sneered and said, "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided! I didn't get to where I am today by being cautious! There is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den ahead of me, and I want to try it too!"
"Let's set off on time tomorrow morning, let's go meet that madman for a while!"
Jason's judgment was still accurate. At this moment, the French fleet in the Mediterranean Sea was heading towards the Suez Canal with full sail. They were preparing to block Port Said and use all means to disrupt the Chinese's visit.
Not only the French navy has made moves, but even the French army stationed in Suez has also made small moves. The tribes in the desert have repeatedly encountered French intelligence officers during this period, and a large net against Xiao Letian is ready. .
On the west bank of the Suez Canal, that is, in the desert west of the Great Bitter Lake, a group of Bedouins were busy on the sand dunes. Cannon after cannon was pushed behind the dunes and wrapped in canvas to protect them from the wind and sand.
A total of twenty-two 122-caliber howitzers were hidden behind the sand dunes. Several men wearing Bedouin robes were using precise instruments to position and appropriately adjust the firing angle of the artillery.
When they started talking, they all spoke in French.
"After the Chinese pass by, the pilot boat will take them to the route in the middle of the Great Bitter Lake. Our attack time is not long, only twenty minutes at most..."
"In twenty minutes, all the artillery will be dismantled and destroyed... Those that cannot be taken away will also have to leave their Austrian nameplates. Let them bear the blame!"
"According to intelligence, the Zhiyuan's armor is so thick that it is impossible to expect it to be sunk by artillery. But as long as an attack occurs, we can use an excuse to block the canal and block them here first!"
