1894 The canal is sad
Xiao Letian and everyone were already stunned, the media war in Europe was planned by Xiao Letian, but he didn't think that it would be so serious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In Xiao Letian's imagination, the Chinese series of reports is actually a channel for the Chinese to reason, and the desired effect is that the two sides have quarrels.
That's right, some quarrels are enough, there is no need to win the quarrel, and there is no extravagant expectation to win. As long as you come and talk to each other, give the Chinese a chance to reason, and the European people can also listen to it, and this is enough.
As long as the European people can have a channel to hear the truth of the Chinese people, then the appearance of these shameless politicians and kings will not be so ugly.
If they want to attack the Chinese as they want and intervene militarily, then they have to pass the public opinion hurdle.
As long as public opinion is still questioned, then Napoleon III and Benjamin and others will have to work hard to convince the people, which invisibly increases the difficulty of their intervention and increases their time to prepare.
Yes, time is what the Chinese people need the most, and Xiao Letian's purpose is to hope that before the Franco-Prussian War, Europe will not be able to intervene militarily through sanctions against the Chinese.
When the Chinese and Prussia defeat France on the battlefield, then the entire international situation will change greatly, and the so-called European ** ethnic alliance will be self-defeating.
This is Xiao Letian's plan, but he never expected that he planned to harvest an apple and ended up with a big watermelon.
"What you say is true? The Emperor has already begun a bloody crackdown on the left-wing workers' organizations, and he has sent the Mediterranean Fleet to try to besiege me?" Xiao Lotian asked, looking at Rear Admiral Jason.
Jason looked at Xiao Lotian and frowned and said, "To be honest, I can't believe that the situation in Europe has eroded like this...... I don't know where your sense of humor comes from, but I can say responsibly that the Emperor has made up his mind to kill you!"
"Hahaha...... I'm afraid I'll have to get past the UK, will the Queen and the Prime Minister let their VIPs die on the way to the guests?hahaha......"
Jason's angry nose was so crooked, and his heart said that this person was too laid-hearted, "Your Excellency, our British protection cannot follow you for a lifetime, and we cannot guarantee accidents.

Don't underestimate the crazy ...... of the French"
"Alright, alright, General Jason, if you weren't absolutely sure you wouldn't tell us so much, now tell us what to do!"
Bribery has proven to be sometimes the most effective means of opening up relationships, and in Singapore the Governor received the coveted purple clay pot, and the same General Jason privately accepted a gift from Xiao Lotian.
It is precisely because of such a private friendship that Jason did not hide too much about the situation in Europe, but came to a big bottom, especially the information on the French side was all told to Xiao Letian without a trace.
In Xiao Letian's opinion, the French emperor is completely crazy, and it may be that the rebels inside him are more dangerous than the Prussians outside, so he must suppress the traitors first, and then fight against the Prussian maintenance.
He was too arrogant, and the brutal repression at home only made him even more unpopular, and when the whole of Europe recognized him as a madman, then the appeal of the Second French Empire could only continue to avalanche.
"General Jason, I am very grateful for your concern, but I believe that an executioner whose hands are stained with the blood of the people is not destined to last long!"
"Isn't it a great opportunity for Britain to be in such a chaotic situation in Europe?
Jason was stunned, he looked at Xiao Letian as if he wanted to guess what secret this man was hiding in his heart, but he could only see the face of the evil smile of the first battle, but his eyes were extremely clear.
"Well, your Excellency, politics is not something that a military should meddle in...... Tomorrow we will leave Sri Lanka and head to the Suez Canal as fast as possible, and you may not have a chance to visit the Indian mainland!"
"Now the British Empire Mediterranean Fleet is pulling out of the Suez Canal from the west, and as long as we can pass through the canal before the arrival of the French fleet, after entering the Mediterranean, we will not be afraid of anything!"
Everyone opened the map and listened to Jason's introduction to the situation of the Suez Canal: "Now the French have two brigades stationed on both sides of the Egyptian Canal, and our British Army only has two regiments, plus the French have many artillery positions, and we will not take advantage of it head-on......"
"But fortunately, France did not declare war on you, they did not dare to use their army to wage war, and I suspect that the French will use two scoundrel tricks against you......"
"The first one is to assassinate and create some bizarre conflicts, I hope you can restrain your subordinates, and all Chinese soldiers cannot disembark during the passage of the canal......"
"The second scoundrel method is to block the river, and the French may get a few large warships to block the canal in the name of malfunctioning, and then you will have to move by land......"
"But it's too dangerous to go by land, Egypt is now the Egypt of the French, as long as you go ashore, everything can happen......"

He sneered and said, "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided! I didn't rely on prudence to get to where I am today! In front of me is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and I want to break through!"
"Leave on time tomorrow morning, we'll meet that madman for a while!"
Jason's judgment was still accurate, at this moment the French fleet in the Mediterranean Sea was sailing straight to the Suez Canal, and they were ready to block the port of Said, using all means to disrupt the Chinese visit.
Not only the French Navy has made moves, but even the French Army stationed in Suez has made small moves, and the tribes in the desert have repeatedly encountered French intelligence officers during this time, and a large net against Xiao Lotian has been prepared.
On the west bank of the Suez Canal, in the desert west of the Great Bitter Lake, a group of Bedouins are busy on the sand dunes, one cannon after another being pushed behind the sand dunes, and wrapped in canvas to defend against the wind and sand.
Twenty-two 122-caliber howitzers were hidden behind the dunes, and several men in Bedouin robes were positioning themselves with sophisticated instruments and adjusting the angle of the guns.
When they spoke, it was all in French.
"When the Chinese passes, the pilot ship will take them to the course in the middle of the Great Bitter Lake, and our attack will not take much time, only twenty minutes at most......"
"After twenty minutes, all the artillery was to be dismantled and destroyed...... If you can't take it away, you have to leave the Austrian nameplate, and this black pot is still let

They're going to carry it!"
"According to the intelligence, the Zhiyuan is heavily armored and it is impossible to expect the artillery to sink it, but as long as the attack happens, we can use the excuse to block the canal and block them here first!"
