This is how the conflict happened. The Chinese and the French had an old grudge. Several conflicts made the relationship between the two countries very bad, and the public sentiment has dropped to a freezing point.
Originally, the two sides just didn't like each other, and the conflict during the day had already seen blood. At this moment, there was a barrel of explosives in each other's hearts, ready to go.
The kidnapping of two navy soldiers was the match that lit the barrel of explosives. The remaining ten pacesetters had no sense at all. They all trained and fought together. A brother who ate in a soup pot was immediately enraged when two of them were lost at once. This group of lions.
"There is no one else except the French! They are the only ones who have conflicts with us in Port Said. We rushed in to find them and ask for people..."
"What are you doing? What do you want to do!" The French troops guarding the consul's house just breathed a sigh of relief from the tense atmosphere at noon, and found that these Chinese people were crazy again.
The French army quickly pulled up a human wall at the entrance of the Consulate House in an attempt to stop the Chinese soldiers, but there was no way to stop the angry Chinese, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
The French army did not understand Chinese, and the Chinese sailors did not understand French. The two sides could only communicate with limited English. However, English was not the mother tongue of both sides. There was a big difference in accents, and the pronunciation of both sides of the same word was different. , the result is that no one understands the chicken talking to the duck.
The more they don't understand, the more impatient they become. Xiao Wang and the others don't want to have a conflict at the moment. They just want to protect the general as soon as possible.
In their minds, these French guys dared to kidnap someone, so what else could they dare to do? What if they kidnapped the captain?
The more anxious the two sides were, the more chaotic the communication became. At this time, all the translators from the Consulate Office who were proficient in Chinese were in the conference room, and they couldn't get there at the same time. As a result, the soldiers started to take action when their heads were hot.
It is unclear who threw the fist first. Anyway, a group of people immediately struggled together, and the scene was extremely bloody, with both sides carrying out fatal blows.
The fight only lasted three minutes before the two sides started firing. If Xiang Ying and Lacu hadn't arrived in time, the gun might have been fired at the door of the Consulate House in the next second.
In the entire conflict, the French side had the advantage of having more people, while the Chinese side had the advantage of being well-trained. Xiao Letian's army was originally selected according to the standards of the special forces, and the policy of elite soldiers was the right way to go.
The rigorous training combined with the fighting skills taught by a group of martial arts masters such as Long Ye allowed them to take advantage of the chaotic weapon fighting.
In this three-minute brawl, most of the injuries on the Chinese side were superficial injuries. It looked like the wounds were bleeding a lot, but they were all past the vital points.
Looking at the French side, there are no less than three or four people who have been cut off from their descendants. They are huddled in the corner and wailing, holding their crotches.
What's more, countless people had their teeth smashed out and their ribs broken.
"Counsellor! This matter can't be let go like this, we need revenge..." The sergeant who lost a tooth roared like thunder. Behind him, more and more soldiers rushed out of the consul's palace, and soon they These Chinese people were surrounded.
When Raku saw that he could no longer hold back, he screamed angrily, "Are you all going to rebel? Back off... Who told you to do it? Didn't I tell you that we have to protect our guests all the way, how could there be a kidnapping?" event?"
"Counsellor! We just happened to be changing the guard, so it's impossible to take care of everything. Moreover, these Chinese people did not have any accidents all afternoon..."
"Besides, when did our French soldiers become the bodyguards of the Chinese?" the sergeant retorted angrily.
Counselor Lacu knew all too well that France had been suppressed and beaten by the Chinese for a whole day, which made the soldiers accumulate too much anger.
Now these soldiers have begun to disobey their own commands. This is the tragedy of civilian officials!
"What do you want to do? Are you going to rebel when the Minister is not here? Let me tell you, the Minister is on his way over... Everyone, stand back! Put away your weapons!"
"Why...sir, you can't do this..." This group of French soldiers who were really beaten roared unwillingly.
At this moment, the military attache from the embassy finally arrived. At this time, only the soldiers could restrain the soldiers. They stared at these disadvantaged soldiers with murderous eyes, then snatched the rifles from the leader's hands and pushed them back.
At this time, countless torches had been lit at the gate of the Consul's House, and the entire long street was illuminated brightly. In the distance, cautious residents of Port Said were looking out with sighs.
Raku turned around and said to Xiang Ying with a smile on his face, "This was a misunderstanding. I promise you there won't be another time..."
"I don't want to hear your explanation! I want my soldiers..." Xiang Ying said as coldly as a sculpture.
"Oh God! You can't ask me for someone like this. I assure you that we in France have never kidnapped any Chinese..."
"Then where are my soldiers? Tell me..." Xiang Ying's voice became louder and louder.
"Misunderstanding, there must be some misunderstanding... I promise to immediately order the maximum manpower and material resources to find your soldiers as soon as possible!"
"Hahaha..." Xiang Ying smiled sadly, "I'm afraid my soldiers will have become cold corpses when they are found, right? Let me ask you, besides you, who else has such an ability in Port Said? "
"Look at my soldiers!" Xiang Ying pulled his cronies over, pointed at the wound on his forehead, and shouted angrily, "They just want to protect me and report intelligence to me!"
"Why are you blocking it? Why are you so cruel? Is this the sincerity of you French people? Is this the peace you just talked about when you were negotiating with me?"
Xiang Ying's voice shook half the street, and Raku's head hurt from the shock. "Please calm down, sir, please don't act out of anger, okay? Why do we want to kidnap? There must be a reason..." "
At this time, Xiang Ying was no longer unreasonable. He shouted, "Soldiers! Now we are isolated and helpless, trapped in Port Said, and our brothers have also been kidnapped!"
"We have no retreat...Send a signal! Tell the head of state that today is the moment for us to die for our country!"
"Jade broken!" Ten pacesetters roared, and quickly formed a circular formation, firmly protecting Xiang Ying in the middle. Everyone's eyes were firm, and their rifles with bayonets pointed outwards, like the spikes of a hedgehog.
Xiang Ying took out the pistol from his waist and looked at Raku coldly, "If you can, keep us all here! If you can, just shoot us to death... Send the signal! Our own brothers, save yourself!" "
Whoosh whoosh... Three bright signal bombs rose into the sky and exploded into three bright red sparks in the night sky of Port Said. The whole city was shocked.
At that time, fireworks were a luxury that could only be enjoyed by civilized and developed countries such as China and Europe. Many citizens of Port Said saw fireworks for the first time in their lives.
"It's so beautiful! There are flowers in the sky!"
"It's not flowers, it's fireworks, the legendary mysterious fireworks from the East!"
