The Port Said Alliance was an important node in shaping the Arab territory in later generations. On this day, Xiao Letian and La Deng reached a paperless alliance in a dilapidated thatched house outside Port Said. -乐-文-小-说-
Western historians have never been able to figure out why this verbal alliance resulted in a century-long friendly and cooperative relationship between the two nations. The answer to this question was finally given by the expedition notes of King Shang Tai, a witness to the alliance.
"The same heroes, the same hope that their nation can escape the fate of being colonized, and the same ability to restrain their desires. When such people come together, they don't need any paper restrictions..."
In the next three years, Xiao Letian provided a total of nearly 30 million silver dollars in military assistance. The 'Desert Storm' bandit group led by La Deng was eventually upgraded to the Desert Storm mercenary army, until finally this army successfully established a military base in northern Yemen. own kingdom.
And at the point of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the 19th century, it rapidly expanded its strength, eventually bringing all Oman and Yemen under its rule, and established the United Kingdom of Oman and Yemen.
Along the way, Xiao Letian not only gave him sufficient military assistance, but also gave him ideological help. Basically, every time the international political situation changed, Xiao Letian was able to make La Deng make the right choice.
Continuous investment will of course pay off. Xiao Letian pulled the candle on the oil company jointly invested by the royal family, and finally became the largest oil company in the Gulf. Almost half of the oil consumption of the entire China and the Chinese Pacific Rim United Nations is Shipped from here.
A hundred years later, the Chinese people are enjoying the prosperous life brought by the oil industry, but no one will forget the efforts made by the founders of the Chinese people a hundred years ago. The cloth a hundred years ago has brought people a happy life in the future, and the shadow of the great man has been left. So powerful.
The negotiation with La Deng was Xiao Letian's last mission in the Middle East. After the two shook hands and said goodbye, the combined fleet had already completed the final maintenance work.
The warships replenished food, fresh water and coal. It is worth mentioning that when Jin Sanshun, the chief internal affairs officer of the Chinese fleet, purchased supplies in Port Said, some small tidbits happened.
The fat man Jin Sanshun is a typical bad guy. As the chief of the interior, his main job is to keep accounts and spend money, handle logistics, and he is responsible for all purchasing tasks.
This sinister guy actually let the soldiers carry the suitcase, which was full of franc cash moved by the canal company.
"Coal, I need coal... Where is your place of origin? British white coal? Do you have Prussian coal? I love burning Prussian coal, do you care..."
"The Prussian white coal tastes mellow when burned, and the British white coal burns the throat... You don't care how I breathe, there is so much nonsense? Do you see it? They are all gold francs that have just been withdrawn from the canal company. I have them." Money, buying your coal is to give you face!”
"Four, fragrant rice, beef, mutton...and these candied fruits and nuts, pick the best ones and give me a ton!"
"You look down on me, don't you? See, gold francs... the compensation just moved out from the canal company has been spent on you, so hurry up and load the goods..."
"The best Arabic carpet in your shop. If you want a high-quality one, I'll make it for you... What? It's only 120,000 francs! Do you look down on me? Do you think I have no money..."
"Brothers, use the canal company's cash to smash him to death! How dare you look down on us Chinese, bah..."
Jin Sanshun has the aura of a nouveau riche, and coupled with the generous spending of cash today, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire Port Said.
This is deliberately disgusting the French. He wants to make the whole world aware of France's 7 million franc indemnity. He wants to shake the foundation of French rule in the Middle East and reduce France's authority.
In the end, Jin Sanshun even ran to the gate of the French barracks, clamoring to see the quartermaster. When a group of heavily armed soldiers came to the gate of the camp to protect the quartermaster, the unscrupulous Jin Sanshun actually asked to buy black powder.
"Oops... this fleet supply job is really difficult. I am responsible for all the food, drinks, and toilets by myself. I am exhausted!"
"The United Fleet used a lot of gunpowder to fight pirates in the Indian Ocean. This battleship... Haha, you know, it can't do without gunpowder. Do you have maroon gunpowder? No! What about black gunpowder? Don't you have it yet? …”
"Sir, sir, why don't you speak? Why do you look so ugly? Oh, I understand, your arsenal is empty? This is not possible. What can a good military camp do without preparing arms..."
"Look, you don't have nitrocellulose dynamite, you don't have maroon gunpowder, don't you have the most common black powder... Sell me some, I'll give you the money, you see it's all cash, it's all gold francs! "
The logistics officers of the French army have never experienced such humiliation in their lives. This group of Chinese people are so shameless. They rob the French people's wealth and then spend it on the French people with great fanfare.
A war almost broke out between the two sides just now, and a day later they went to the enemy's military camp and asked to buy arms? Buy explosives and humiliate France?
At that moment, Jin Sanshun heard the loudest cry in his life, "Get out!" Even though the other party pronounced it in French, Jin Sanshun could understand it without a translator.
Looking at the furious quartermaster and the bright bayonet, Jin Sanshun touched his face and said with a ruthless smile, "No... what do you mean by this? Business cannot be done without righteousness..."
"Go away..." This time it was a group of French soldiers who shouted collectively, and Jin Sanshun was so shocked that he dropped several pieces of cash in his pocket.
"Okay, okay... I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now... A group of two hundred and fifty people can't even make money..."
In just one day, Jin Sanshun, who was wealthy but had a bad mouth, became a celebrity in Port Said. Countless businessmen from the Middle East gathered around him. In just one day, Jin Sanshun replenished the combined fleet with more than one million gold francs. supplies.
After all the goods were delivered to the ship, it was finally time to get out. At this moment, the mood of the French garrison was extremely sensitive, especially the suicide of Lacu and the coma of Viscount Ferdinand, which made this hostile mood even higher.
Xiao Letian looked at the busy canal and listened to Jin Sanshun report what he saw and heard today. He smiled lightly, "It's time to set off. I always have a hunch that if I delay for one more day, those who can't control their emotions will It’s time for the French army to fire on me!”
"Notify the British side that we will weigh anchor and leave Port Said this evening without any stopover. We will have a dinner in London within four days!"
Woo hoo hoo... The whistle sounded outside Port Said, startling a group of seagulls, and the combined fleet officially weighed anchor and set sail.
