The sun is sinking in the west, Port Said is gradually reaching the most beautiful moment of dusk, and the diplomatic negotiations in the consular palace are still continuing, which has lasted for three hours, and the high-intensity mental work has made Xiang Ying also a little tired, but the major events related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, no matter how tired they are, they have to hold on.

The confrontation between the two sides was very fierce, and Xiang Ying did not have the hypocritical nonsense of ordinary diplomats at all, and directly forced Counselor Laku into a corner.

As soon as it came up, it was the threat of force from Chiguoguo, which was not a joke but the Chinese already had the strength to fight in Port Said, where the French army only had more than 3,000, and it was not an elite force.

However, the Chinese have two thousand elite marines, and even the navy can draw four or five hundred people to assist in the battle, and these soldiers armed to the teeth are not something that the miscellaneous French army can deal with, so Xiang Ying knows very well that once it evolves into actual combat, even if it does not rely on the help of the British, the Chinese can take Port Said alone.

But war was not what the Führer wanted, and the urgent and important task was a visit to Europe, and if fire were fired here, the whole plan would be thrown into chaos.

But this loss of the Chinese can't eat, can't let France put such a knife in vain, when bargaining with France in the later stage, every time the Chinese add a piece of incriminating evidence, it is an ammunition on the negotiating table, and how big the final cake wants depends on how thick the charges are accumulated at the moment.

Therefore, Xiao Letian's plan for Xiang Ying was to tighten first and then loosen, just like fishing, and finally make the hook in Counselor Laku's mouth deeper and stronger.

So Xiang Ying has to put on a listening posture at the moment, anyway, the war declaration just now has frightened Laku, and the other party should be let relax at this moment.

Counselor Laku said dryly, "General, I have already made it clear what the meaning of the canal's existence is, and even if you garrison the canal now, what benefits can you get?

"We and the British can get strategic initiative and huge commercial benefits from the control of the canal, but your business circle is east of Malacca."

"With your wisdom, don't you understand this? Don't make wedding clothes for others! Why do you want to start a war when you don't get any benefit? This is not a decision that a good politician can make."

Seeing that Xiang Ying's face was solemn and did not refute, Laku knew that these words moved him and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "There is no benefit, helping the British in vain, this is the first disadvantage, and the other point is unacceptable to you."

"The emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty and the head of state of the Chinese nationality have made a state visit to Europe, and even the queen has crossed the prime minister to personally inquire about such a diplomatic flourish, can you imagine how important this visit is to you?"

"In the 5,000-year history of human civilization, have any Chinese emperors ever been to Europe? No, this is an epoch-making event that will definitely be recorded in the annals of human history!"

"You can imagine how many flowers and applause you will receive for this visit, what kind of courtesy the emperor and the head of state will receive, and how many practical benefits you will get, these are what you need most!"

"And as long as this state visit is successful, at least many treaties of peace and friendship will be signed, and all countries that sign treaties or issue statements are actually recognizing the status of the Chinese as an emerging country in disguise!"

"That is, the countries of Europe will finally recognize you as a new state! Isn't that what the Führer has always wanted?"

"But the war will destroy all this, and all your attempts will be ruined by this war, and your main forces will be idle in Port Said and caught in the constant siege and attack of the French army, and you will be alone."

"Even if you take advantage of it in a short time, in the end this grand diplomatic activity is doomed to not be able to continue, you are rising too fast now, you have just defeated Tsarist Russia and now you want to defeat France?

When Xiang Ying heard this, he immediately pretended to be suddenly enlightened, opened his mouth but couldn't speak, and at this moment, Laku let go of his heart a little, and said that the most dangerous moment has finally passed, as long as there is no war, don't make such a war during my tenure.

After a moment of silence, Xiang Ying nodded: "I admit that what you said is still reasonable, but your provocation against our Chinese people is also real, if there is no explanation, we may not be able to convince the public!"

"You should also know that the Führer, as a superior person, must guarantee his authority, and if he is indifferent in the face of such a provocation, then what will the Chinese people think of him?"

"So, if you want us not to land, or to start a war, then it depends on what you can provide."

"What do you want?" asked Counselor Raku at once.

"Reparations are necessary, but the amount of compensation needs to be negotiated slowly and for a long time, and we are not in a hurry about this! Now you must provide an apology statement, which is necessary, because with such a statement, at least it can calm the anger in the hearts of the soldiers."

"You have to understand, after all, you shot at the emperor of the Great Qing Empire, and almost killed the emperor of the Qing Empire! Such a major event has made our whole army restless, do you want to settle this matter without apologizing and paying compensation?"

Counselor Raku was stunned for a moment, his expression was distorted like constipation, he couldn't say it for a few long times, of course he didn't want to make such a statement, but the Chinese also had some truth in what they said, they had already shot the emperor in fact, if there was not even an apology, this really couldn't be said.

Xiang Ying looked at him coldly, calculating the time in his heart, he knew very well that the next plan was about to begin.

At the same time, a cold dish platter had begun to be placed in the cabin of the guests on the Zhiyuan, and Liu Dadao was successfully promoted to the head chef of the Zhiyuan through the credit of rescuing the driver, and he was responsible for all the food work.

Today's banquet is based on European customs, with long tables and dishes placed in the center, everyone has their own plates, and the waiters will help the guests divide the food.

Major General Jason and other British guests had not yet arrived, Xiao Letian, Wang Huaiyuan, Sima Yun and others gathered in the corner, drinking tea and eating some dried fruits, and talking about Xiang Ying's negotiations.

"I don't plan to go to war at all, the world and the earth are the biggest countries to visit, and no accident can interfere with our itinerary" Xiao Lotian peeled off the crispy pistachios and threw them in his mouth, the Middle East is the main production area of pistachios, and the dried fruits here taste very good, Xiao Lotian can't stop eating them.

"But we can't afford to lose in vain, can we?" So now we have to force the French consular office to issue an apology, and we must write down the experience of this conflict in the form of words."

With the French themselves' own confessions, I am not afraid that they will repay their debts! You have to be careful, the diplomats of these great powers in the world are the most shameless, and they dare not admit what they have done when they open their eyes."

"This is the hand I guarded against"
