There is no regret in the world. No matter how smart Ferdinand is, there is no way he can fly across these dozens of kilometers of canals. At this moment, Counselor Lacu has begun to ask the British for cooperation. net??
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Counselor Raku's approach. Diplomatic disputes are all about being reasonable, beneficial and restrained. Third-party evidence is critical, and the more influential the third-party witness country is, the more beneficial it will be to the negotiation.
The Chinese, the French, the British, the Egyptians... these are the only four parties that can speak at the moment. Among them, Egypt's right to speak is negligible, so the most critical thing left is the attitude of the British.
According to common sense, Counselor Raku asked the UK for assistance. This is absolutely correct. This is a diplomatic attempt. But after all, Counselor Raku was not as advanced as Ferdinand, and he did not understand many deep-seated national interests thoroughly enough.
The useless conversation lasted for more than three hours. Major General Jason was still pretending to be a fool with a confused look on his face. Raku gradually lost his patience. Just when he was about to say something rude, there was an urgent knocking on the cabin door.
"Your Excellency Counselor! Suddenly news came from the shore... The Chinese have arrived at our consular office in Port Said! He is an officer and wants to see the highest officer by name..."
"What? So fast! How arrogant. They bombarded the fifth station, the army boarded the army to fight with us, and finally destroyed the telegraph line. How dare they come to us?"
"After crashing our warship, they still dare to come and mobilize troops?"
Jason wiped the spit from his face and suddenly said calmly, "Yes, you are right, but now there is a problem... You have shot at the emperor of the Qing Dynasty! If the Chinese are dead, What should I do if I hold on to this point?"
Hiss... Counselor Raku took a breath of air, thinking that this was really a big trouble!
"General! Just because of the friendship between our two countries, I don't think you can testify for the Chinese, right?"
"Hahaha...haha!" Jason laughed twice. "You'd better not let the Chinese wait too long. This is not polite! But I have to remind you, since you did not choose to use force to resolve the conflict early in the morning. , then now there is absolutely no chance..."
"Are you threatening me?" Counselor Raku said with a livid face.
"No, no, no... I'm definitely not a threat. I'm just telling you a fact. If you miss some opportunities, you'll miss them!"
Jason cursed in his mind, "Coward, if you really take advantage of the chaos to open fire this morning and are so cruel as to start a war with the Chinese, do you think I will join in? We in the UK are not stupid. The snipe and the clam are fighting over each other, and the fisherman gets the benefit. The Chinese say How good is it?"
"How wonderful it would be if I escorted a broken Zhiyuan into the Thames Estuary! Then I will definitely be rewarded... You yourself threw away such a great opportunity, and now you dare to glare at me!"
This is really a place under a low eaves. In the end, Counselor Raku did not have the courage to fall out with the British. Before leaving, the counselor suddenly whispered, "I hope the general can think about it carefully. If this matter can be resolved smoothly, I will consider it." It’s about the number of troops stationed on the canal..."
"Haha, easy to say, easy to say, please walk slowly..." Jason watched Counselor Raku leave the battleship and board the small boat, then returned to the cabin and opened his precious safe, as if touching the skin of his lover, stroking that There are only tea cups and dishes.
"Beautiful, so beautiful! Although Europe can also produce porcelain, it lacks such a charm no matter how you compare it... Hehehe, the timid and greedy French guy, want to use your spit in exchange for my actual support? Dream on Bar!"
"If the practical information is in place, I may use my personal identity to help you prove it, but if you are so ignorant, don't blame me for being rude..."
"Come here, inform the Zhiyuan...notify the respected Yuan, just tell me that I have two bottles of aged whiskey here, and I hope we can taste them together in the evening. In addition, I like the sweet and sour meat made by the Chinese chef very much, and I hope I can taste it again!"
In fact, Major General Jason misunderstood Counselor Raku. Raku himself is not the kind of ignorant person. Bribery of each other in diplomatic situations is a normal phenomenon, and everyone knows it.
Raku is already ready. When he returns to the consulate, he will prepare a large gift for the British side. The price must be around tens of thousands of gold francs.
But it is a pity that Lacoue never realized how great Xiao Letian's handiwork was. If this set of Southern Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain were placed in European collection circles, it would be worth more than 100,000 gold francs.
Xiao Letian is definitely not a miser. In his mind, money is for use. As long as it can solve problems, there is no problem in spending more.
…
At the entrance of the French Consulate in Port Said, twelve fully armed Chinese navy sailors were wearing military uniforms only used in ceremonies, white shirts, light blue military uniforms, small lapels, and thick cowhide leather handles. The waist is thin and the knee-high boots are shiny.
Every button on the military uniform is made of pure copper and is polished until it shines like gold. The Chinese Internal Affairs Bureau requires that metal buttons must be wiped brightly every day and must not be stained in any way.
This military uniform is paired with a brand-new Mauser and a revolver around the waist. In addition, the Chinese people's figure and facial features are obviously very different from those of Europeans, which gives them a unique temperament.
Among the might, domineering, and order, there is actually a touch of culture mixed in! This is the credit of Xiao Letian's request for universal compulsory education in the entire army. Even the British and French armies dare not guarantee that the illiteracy rate is zero, but they have created such a miracle in the Chinese army.
Educated people and uneducated people have absolutely different temperaments. Illiterate and blind people will definitely be confused. However, the twelve pacesetters brought out by Xiang Ying have reached the level of English that they can communicate normally. , what appears in the eyes of such a person is rationality and wisdom.
Xiang Ying's military uniform is more gorgeous. All the buttons are made of gilded copper, which looks brighter and dazzling. The material of the military uniform is also more expensive, and there are no wrinkles at all after being permed by the orderly soldiers.
The officer's uniform is decorated with a large number of gold thread tassels, and there are many metal nameplates to add the flavor of iron blood. The waist is imitated Tang Dao, which is an ceremonial sword created after joint research between Fuso swordsmiths and Qing Dynasty swordsmiths.
The handle was covered with gems and gold, and the pure white gloves held the ceremonial knife, which gave Xiang Yingping an air of heroism.
I have to say that humans are visual animals. Isn’t there a famous saying in later generations, which is that whoever is beautiful is reasonable. People subconsciously like to get close to handsome men and beautiful women. The appearance of Xiang Ying and these twelve handsome pacesetters immediately caused a sensation among the people of Port Said.
The crowd gathered around them, and even women wearing veils were dispatched. They looked at these Chinese people from a distance with strange eyes.
