"What a rebellion! You dare to kidnap our brothers... Do you want to kidnap the negotiating ambassador as well? Everyone has it... Go forward!"
At that moment, the French army's formation had been compressed to the extreme, and it was difficult for the soldiers in the first row to retreat. This step forward would definitely cause greater accidental damage.
The French army had just formed five loose rows. Since they had not received the order to retreat or attack, they were now at a loss. The officers in the formation did not know how to give orders.
The first row of French troops facing the Chinese involuntarily retreated under the aggressive pressure, while the last few rows of French troops did not receive the order to retreat and could only stand still. In this situation, after the Chinese had advanced three or four steps, , it becomes a dead end.
The French army's formation changed from loose to dense, and there was no gap between the front and rear. In other words, the French army in the first row that rushed up at this step had no way to retreat!
Xiang Ying and Hyōtaro's eyes became extremely cold-blooded at this moment. They knew that the conflict had reached the most critical moment and all the pressure had been given. Now it was up to them to see how much willpower Counselor Raku had left!
With a bang, the leather boots trampled on the street. At that moment, the smell of blood suddenly became thicker, and a muffled sound came from the Marines. This time, six Marines were injured by accident.
Now that the two armies were facing each other, the first batch of French soldiers had no choice but to retract their rifles as much as possible, leaving only a three-inch long bayonet on the front of their bodies.
There is only three inches between the two armies!
Hyōtaro licked his lips. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with the French's initiative to retreat. Just now, he saw with his own eyes countless French soldiers trying to avoid and retreating with their bayonets.
"Damn it? How come this is the strongest army in the world? It is completely different from the Cossacks of Tsarist Russia! A group of cowards dare to stop our troops!"
Suddenly Hyoutaro stretched out his hand, and three inches across from him was a young soldier in his twenties. He looked very beautiful with light blue eyes and golden curly hair.
But his hands were shaking, his eyes were shrinking, and he was trying his best to dodge under Hyoutaro's aggressive gaze.
Hyōtaro actually reached out and patted his face, saying in English, "Child, why don't you stab him? Killing an earl is a great military achievement, isn't it? Hahaha... Just stab him! Why don't you stab him!"
The young soldier was so frightened by Hyoutaro's roar that his feet became weak. Hyoutaro had killed many people in the past few years of battles. Although his sword did not have the souls of hundreds of people, the souls of those in their sixties or seventies had also been trained. It’s done.
How could a recruit from a third-rate garrison be able to resist the murderous intent of such a person? The young man was so frightened that he stepped back and bumped into his comrades behind him, causing a chaos.
Xiang Ying licked his chapped lips and said disdainfully to Raku, "You have no chance. You will never know what kind of army we are!"
"The much-needed resentment of the Chinese people who have been oppressed for three hundred years has condensed into this iron army! Do you think they are afraid of death? Next, I will let you see what the will of the iron army is..."
Hyōtaro's whole body became excited, which was the excitement before he smelled the smell of blood. "Great! You really want to give us this excuse, hahaha... Prussia hasn't taken action yet, today we Chinese will take action first." Got it!"
"Boys... move forward! The jade pieces are here!"
At that moment, it was as if time had stopped flowing. Raku's brain seemed to have been hit with a heavy hammer, and the pressure of the entire world fell on his head.
Outside the port, he saw the radiant United Fleet, and he even saw the rotating turrets of the Reach and the open gun doors of the British battleships.
Cannons were pushed out one after another, and the British army was ready for the bombardment.
Landing on the sea. The British troops are about to land ashore. A roar like the tide fills my ears. There is only one voice: no war!
The British had made their attitude clear, and the last straw finally fell. Raku closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and shouted, "Retreat...let them come!"
"Counsellor!" A group of military attaches around them shouted in pain.
With a bang, the Marines pressed forward again, and the dodging French soldiers bumped into their comrades behind them. The entire formation collapsed, and a dozen people even fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment.
Almost at the same time, British soldiers with their butts hanging also came ashore. They held rifles and began to bypass the Marine formation and began to establish an isolation zone between the Chinese and the French.
"Relax, please relax on both sides! We are here to mediate disputes, not to fight..."
"What are you doing? Why are you pointing your rifle at the Chinese envoy?"
"You... what about you! Don't you know this general is a count? Are you crazy..."
The British were a bunch of partisans. When they came up, they started to find fault with the French, which made the officers furious.
Xiang Ying and Hyōtaro finally met together, and the expressions on their faces spoke for themselves. The final stage of today's conflict had finally arrived.
Xiang Ying deliberately shouted in front of Counselor Lacu, "General Xiao...please let our soldiers control the three blocks around the consulate house. From now on, this is the control area of our Chinese people..."
"Search the whole city to find our missing soldiers!"
"Where is the map? We have to separate the defense zone from the British side. We must lock down the entire Port Said! Search the whole city..."
"How dare you!" Raku yelled, "You are declaring war!"
This time, no one really paid attention to him. Xiang Ying curled his lips and said, "I'm sorry, we just want to find our soldiers. When we find them, we will naturally return the port to you!"
"Let me remind you, since we didn't give the order to fire just now, then don't fantasize about confrontation. According to the art of war, you just missed the best moment to strike halfway across the border. Now you have no chance of winning!"
Raku's vision went dark and he was about to faint, but at the last moment he heard Xiang Ying's tormenting demonic voice again.
"Sir Counselor, why are you still so hesitant? Is a statement a greater crime? Or is losing control of the entire Port Said a greater crime?"
Raku's eyes suddenly lit up. "What do you mean? Do you mean to withdraw from the army after you get an apology?"
Xiang Ying said in a low voice, "I didn't say that, but I don't rule out the possibility... Of course, if such an unpleasant incident occurs, it's not the conditions just now!"
"I also want an apology, and I also want compensation!"
"Blackmail! This is blackmail!" Raku growled fiercely, "You will go to hell! You will definitely go to hell..."
"Okay, make a decision quickly. If the top British generals come ashore in a while... your mess will be even more difficult to end! Do you still want to negotiate with Major General Jason again?"
"No...don't...I...I agree to your conditions!" Raku finally gave in. m.
