Xiao Letian is a master of playing rogue, so the disciples who have been taught by his words and deeds will naturally not go wrong with their eloquence, especially Xiang Ying who has drank foreign ink, studied hundreds of schools of thought, and once circled the earth to grow experience.
Putting aside his extremely hawkish thoughts and stubborn personality, this person's ability is actually very powerful. Even Xiao Letian has considered training him as his successor more than once, and let him also serve as the two-time Chinese prime minister. .
It can be seen that Xiang Ying's overall strength is quite strong, and more importantly, he has rich practical experience. After all, he has fought in naval battles, and also bombarded the French colony of Dakar, so Xiang Ying himself is very important to France. There is a kind of contempt.
This is a kind of strong self-confidence based on victory. It is simply not something that a person like Counselor Raku, who has spent his whole life, can resist. Under the suppression of Xiang Ying's strong aura, Counselor Raku finally panicked.
There were slight beads of sweat on his forehead, and he was constantly calculating in his mind the contrast between the enemy's and our own strength.
How many warships are there in the combined Chinese and British fleet outside Port Said? Forty ships or fifty ships? How many do we have?
With so many enemy warships, what is the total strength? How many cannons are there?
He was afraid of calculating the data, and the more he calculated, the more alarming he became. Although he did not know exactly how many soldiers and how many artillery pieces were on each battleship, but based on experience, the current Chinese and British coalition forces could provide at least 20,000 soldiers. Soldiers and artillery must be at least 25.
How many troops do you have here? The total number of soldiers in Port Said and nearby satellite towns did not exceed 3,000. With such a disparity in strength, how could it be possible to win?
Although there are large-caliber coastal defense artillery as fire support, it is not enough, there are too many enemies!
Counselor Raku's hands trembled when he thought of this. The empire was at an extremely critical moment. Prussia in the north was preparing for provocation, and the elites of the global colonies began to be transferred to the mainland.
This is France's most chaotic moment. Is it really going to start a second war in Egypt? Can the Empire really win two wars at the same time?
No, no, no, I should have confidence in His Majesty the Emperor. I can't have the slightest doubt... But what can I do if I don't doubt him? If an unexpected war breaks out at this moment, the entire country's strategy will have to be adjusted, and the plans of countless departments will have to be re-formulated.
Counselor Lacourt's concerns are very correct. Since ancient times, war has been a huge project that affects the entire country. Now no one knows how many warships and merchant ships are sailing on the vast ocean. Hundreds of French soldiers are fighting their way through the waterways. French mainland collection.
There are countless war materials that are flowing back and forth on the sea, on railways, on roads, and between countless warehouses. The war materials stored in French ports are waiting for ships to be transported to the mother country.
This is preparation for war, this is preparation for a rainy day in response to Prussian provocation! Hundreds of thousands of people are cooperating on such a large-scale mobilization project of personnel and materials, and many plans were made half a year ago.
It can be said that France is now completely in a state of chaos before preparing for war. Any accident at any node will cause chaos in the entire network.
Tens of thousands of officials will have to make new dispatch plans, more than 100,000 soldiers will have to change their destinations, hundreds of thousands or even millions of workers will have to double their workload... The entire empire will be in chaos.
This chaos is so terrible. Will it trigger a surprise attack from Prussia? Is Egypt about to become the source of all chaos?
What should I do? What should Viscount Ferdinand do? What about the canals in France?
All judgments are warning Counselor Raku that the war must not start. Once the war starts, Port Said will definitely be captured, and France will fall into the dilemma of a two-front war. The iron-blooded Bismarck will never let such a good thing go. If there is a chance, he will definitely take advantage of your illness to kill you.
But diplomats must have undergone special training. No matter how difficult the situation is, they must be calm and calm in the face of blackmail.
Counselor Raku licked his dry lips and suddenly sneered, "War? Hahaha... Do you Chinese dare? You are too optimistic about the friendly relations between Britain and France. Don't think that blackmail will work in front of me!"
"Port Said is right in front of you, you give the order! I watched you give the order with my own eyes. Your cannon can shoot at my body. Do you see if I can hide?"
"I have been through a lot of diplomatic negotiations. Do you think I will believe you in this kind of blackmail?"
"It must be as if you are allied with the British paramilitary. Don't forget that the British Navy's mission is only to escort you... They will not open fire at any point when tensions are high. I can see this better than you!"
Xiang Ying secretly picked Brother Thumb in his mind, thinking that this guy is not bad. Although he is not very bright and lacks a bit of quick wit, the cruel words he just said were too accurate.
Xiang Ying suddenly smiled, as if the balloon he had just inflated suddenly deflated again.
"Hahaha... Please sit down, Counselor. Don't be so impatient. Let's talk slowly. It's only 3:30 in the afternoon. There is plenty of time..."
Xiang Ying picked up the cold coffee in front of him and took a sip. "Let's do this! Counselor, please try to imagine such a scene and see if it becomes a reality! Imagine, please imagine..."
"With such a serious conflict, the Chinese and British people are deeply concerned that the security situation in the canal has deteriorated, and they are worried about the safety of our two countries and the world's merchant ships..."
"Our country's merchant ships were robbed by desert bandits, and our people were massacred by criminals... But what about France? It was completely unable to stop all this..."
"Wait a minute, don't rush to refute me, wait for me to finish first..." Xiang Ying leaned on the back of the chair, twisted a few times comfortably, and then continued to describe it easily.
"We can't let this kind of bloodshed happen. In order to protect overseas Chinese... Yes, yes, yes, please record this phrase. In order to protect overseas Chinese, we have no choice but to send our own troops to the 6th..."
"At that moment, dear Counselor, you will see countless sampans suddenly appear outside Port Said, and the British and Chinese troops preparing to land are densely packed throughout the harbor..."
"They marched toward the port shouting slogans of peace. No one would take the initiative to attack the French soldiers and the Egyptian garrison... There were no bullets in our rifles! Our grenades were also fastened, and no one came with threats... …”
"Getting closer, getting closer...Are you and us the messengers of peace? Or are we the robbers trying to invade!"
With a snap, Counselor Raku almost broke his own bones with his palm, "How dare you! This is aggression, you are robbers!"
Note: This is the seventh update...I'm going crazy...
