Xiang Ying didn't care at all about Counselor Laku's hysteria. He waved his hand gently, "It's just fantasy. I didn't say it was true. I just explained a certain possibility..."
"Whether we are messengers of peace or bandits trying to invade, you can't do anything to us... Anyway, the security problem in the Suez Canal is obvious. Army field artillery can be obtained by desert bandits. You still have What can be explained?”
"Protect overseas Chinese. Which country in the world has a government that doesn't love its compatriots? This principle can be applied to the whole of Europe..."
"Our brave soldiers will row hard, and the landing sampans covering the sea will land at Port Said with thousands of soldiers shouting slogans of peace and protecting overseas Chinese..."
"What can you do? How are you going to stop us?"
Xiang Ying suddenly became Tianqiao's storyteller, and his stories were full of emotion and emotion. Fortunately, his English was not bad, but even so, there were a few Chinese slangs mixed in.
Counselor Raku knew very well that this was not a story at all. This was an ultimatum from the Chinese. This was a threat. They had probably made such a plan.
His face turned pale with anger, but he still wanted to listen. He really wanted to know how big these Chinese people would be.
"Our attempt to land will have two consequences. One is that you will watch us land on the land of Port Said, and then establish our military camps in the city or suburbs..."
"Don't worry, we won't eat your food or drink your food. We are all civilized people. We spend our own money to replenish military supplies... But I think the Ottoman Empire should be hospitable. Will the Egyptian Governor provide us with some supplies? What's the question? Are there any guests coming from afar..."
"Hahaha... I can't wait to see the happy scene of our soldiers from the four countries getting together. It's really fun, hahaha..."
Suddenly, Xiang Ying's face changed after he had laughed enough, "But there is another possibility... Maybe there are still a few of you French soldiers who are smart and impulsive. Facing the tidal wave of coalition attacks, At that time, do you think someone will fire?"
"As long as one of our soldiers dies under the gunpoint of the French army, then the nature of the matter will change. Do you think we dare to attack Port Said? Hahaha, the soldiers are very fanatical, I think they are absolutely I will not allow my brother to die tragically in front of me!"
"Then what will be the result? The navy and army will immediately activate the revenge mechanism. Since you have given us an excuse, do you think we will use it..."
"So, don't doubt our courage. I am very clear about the persistence in your heart... It is just the dignity of the proud European power France, and the arrogant inertia of facing backward nations for hundreds of years..."
"Isn't the psychological basis for your belief that we don't dare to attack based on your arrogance and inertia? You just think that we Chinese are weak and easy to bully, so you use your past thinking to set up this situation?"
"Hahaha... It's really funny. If we were afraid of you, we wouldn't have been able to fire back with our main guns at the fifth station! Our marines wouldn't have landed to fight, and we wouldn't have killed your horses at Port Said. Ranta number!”
"Now please look into my eyes!" Xiang Ying stood up, stared at the guilty Counselor Laku and said loudly, "Please look into my eyes! Ask me again... Do we dare to attack? This port! Dare you!"
The huge momentum hit the counselor like a mountain. The diplomat who had been the second-in-command all his life suddenly sat on the chair. The psychological wall he had finally built suddenly burst at this moment. His face was pale and he could not say a word. .
The adjutant next to him who was in charge of recording was not as good as a counselor in terms of psychological quality. The pen in his hand fell on the paper, and before he knew it, the ink stained a large area.
"You...of course you dare! But...but what good will you gain by doing this..."
Seeing Counselor Raku's weak look, Xiang Ying suddenly cheered in her heart, "Long live! Great! The first combat plan of the head of state was successfully completed, and now it's the second stage, hahaha..."
He was smiling in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face. Xiang Ying sat back and said, "What's the benefit? Let's relieve our anger! We have been bullied so much, why don't we relieve our anger? Besides, the canal is so full of flowers, we can't interfere." ?"
This is the idea of using words to seduce Counselor Laku. Xiang Ying is consciously guiding the counselor's thinking to where he wants to think.
As expected, Counselor Raku was fooled. He sat up straight and said loudly to Xiang Ying, "Confused! Why do you, such a shrewd head of state, do such a confused thing? This is not good for you Chinese people!"
"Don't record the rest..." Counselor Lacu said to the adjutant, and then the French diplomat actually started to think in another person's shoes.
There are only a few tricks in diplomatic negotiations, one is deception, one is intimidation, one is exchange of interests... There may be more advanced tricks, but these are the three tricks that Counselor Raku is good at.
Now it is clear that there is no use in cheating. Chinese people are as shrewd as foxes. And intimidation has also lost its effect. The Chinese are already prepared to forcibly garrison troops, even by force.
In the end, Raku could only use advantage to convince the other party, and he could only think from his perspective.
"General! You should give your head of state a good advice. Is it really good for the Chinese to start a war with France here?"
"Listen to my analysis. First of all, the benefits of the canal are indeed very rich, but if you want to eat this cake, you must at least have geographical advantages..."
"The Suez Canal makes money by connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean. Are there any Chinese colonies in these two oceans? No, not even one..."
"In the entire canal, you Chinese merchant ships are very few, maybe only one out of three to four hundred ships. Your sphere of influence is in East Asia and the Pacific, right?"
When Xiang Ying saw what Counselor Lacu was saying, he quickly showed off his acting skills, changed his expression to a serious one, and leaned forward to listen seriously, but he was already happy in his heart.
"Well, uh uh, uh uh uh... I'd like to hear the details, go on..."
"Yes, you are right to think so. In fact, the benefits of the Suez Canal can only be enjoyed by France and the United Kingdom in the world..."
Note: Yesterday I collapsed from exhaustion...I feel dizzy now...If I can't survive, I...let me lie down for a while...and take a nap...
