Viscount Ferdinand is not in Port Said, and the highest official on the French side is the Ambassador's deputy, the Counsellor. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Counsellor Raku was definitely the minister's most capable subordinate, having followed Ferdinand in diplomatic work for more than six years, and Viscount Ferdinand had always been interested in operating in Paris, allowing his loyal subordinate to carry on his career in Egypt.

Counselor Raku can be said to be obedient to the minister, and the position of counselor should have given advice to the minister, but because of Ferdinand's overly strong ability and character, Counselor Raku has completely become an executor.

For example, in the attack on the Chinese on the canal, Raku carried out Viscount Ferdinand's plan from beginning to end, including the contingency plan.

He had developed a certain inertia, and he was too lazy to have the ability to think for himself, and there might be nothing in his mind that the minister could not do.

Moreover, telegraph communication along the canal was so convenient and developed that any special situation could be quickly notified to the minister, and in the minds of these subordinates, the minister was omnipotent, and there was nothing that could not be done in Egypt.

But unexpectedly, today's conflict broke all their plans, first of all, the destruction of the telegraph line by the Chinese, coupled with the sudden illness of the minister, which caught everyone off guard.

Not everyone was in a hurry, and the only thing Counselor Raku could do was to activate the backup plan in advance, let the sand ships sink into the canal quickly, and urge the Mediterranean fleet to enter the port as soon as possible.

But he never imagined that the situation was not fixed for him, but in flux, with Prussian and British spies sinking the sand ship, and the domineering Zhiyuan crashing and damaging the Maranta.

At that moment, Counselor Raku had only two options: war and negotiation, but would he dare to go to war? Will the British warships with no end in sight allow him to go to war? So the only option is to negotiate. [Zero ↑ nine △ small ↓ said △ 網]

In Major General Jason's single cabin, Counselor Raku had been roaring for three hours, his throat stinging and his eyes were dry, and the cabin was filled with the smell of cigar smoke, and the choking man was coughing incessantly.

"General Jason...... Don't you understand what I'm saying? Britain and France must join forces to contain the rise of the Chinese, and a strong Chinese will affect our rule in the East!"

"Nine years ago, our two countries joined hands to attack the capital of China, and you have forgotten all such brilliant achievements......?

"When did you and Chinese walk together? I don't understand, I don't understand you at all......"

"As long as we join forces, we can jointly divide the power of the Chinese people, which is an innumerable amount of wealth......

"Today's matter is easy to do, very easy to solve...... As long as you and I first come to an agreement, and then put pressure on the Chinese, we will hold them accountable for the crime of forcibly provoking the incident and deliberately ramming the French battleship......"

"Convict them of an undeclared sin and detain them in Port Said......"

……

For a whole morning, Major General Jason's brain was buzzing with noise, Counselor Raku was a diplomat after all, and he was still very eloquent, as long as you didn't interrupt him, he would talk endlessly.

Jason sneered and scolded in his heart, "Idiot, you know that if you say with your mouth, I will help you if there is no actual benefit?" What did you say nine years ago, at that time, if it wasn't for us Britain alone to solve the Great Qing Kingdom, if it wasn't for the need for you France to join the army battle, we would take you to play?"

"Now that you control the Suez Canal, even if you open up the golden shipping route from France to India, the country is looking at you unpleasantly, and you still want me to cooperate?"

His eyes rolled again, and Jason suddenly thought of the set of porcelain from the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty that Xiao Letian gave him, and sighed...... The beautiful opening and glaze, so pure cyan, so simple and elegant shape...... It's an artifact!

"General, General, are you listening to me......" Jason, who was immersed in his fantasy, was suddenly woken up by Counselor Raku.

"Huh? ah...... Of course I listened...... The matter of the joint statement you said is not easy to handle, after all, I am a military general, why don't I wait for the arrival of our minister in Cairo to think about it?"

"I'm really sorry, it's hard to solve the matter of testifying, after all, I'm a soldier, not a judicial officer, and I'm really not good at judging this conflict...... Hahaha!"

"I am a soldier, and it is my duty to obey orders......"

Counselor Raku is so angry, his brain is about to burst, he really can't understand, why don't Europeans help Europeans? When did the British get so close to this group of Chinese?

It's not that I don't understand, the world is changing fast!

At the southern end of the canal, an old steam paddle steamer was snorting and belching black smoke toward the north.

Hundreds of cavalry were escorting the boat along the shore, and from time to time the cavalry commander spotted a mass of severed telegraph lines, and cursed angrily.

"Hell Chinese! How did they destroy the telegraph line like this? How can this ......be repaired?"

The destruction of the marines was not simply cut off, they completely destroyed hundreds of meters after a few kilometers, and then walked more than a thousand meters before destroying it, which was basically the destruction of the Suez Canal telegraph line.

It is absolutely impossible for France to expect a short repair unless it is re-laid.

Inside the steamship, Viscount Ferdinand, leaning on a pillow, was giving instructions to the clerk with a sallow face, and outside the ship there were cavalry horses ready to gallop towards Port Said at any time.

"Don't trust the British...... Remember...... Can't trust the British, ahem, ahem, ahem......"

"At this moment, the national interests of Britain and France have diverged...... It's not as harmonious as it was nine years ago......"

"You have to know...... Britain is quite ...... It is quite possible that in the upcoming Franco-Prussian conflict...... Pull the ...... of the bias frame

"1st place...... There is a natural desire to curb the second place...... Beware of first place and ...... Three, four, five, six joined forces to ......"

"First...... Send these orders first...... ...... vomit"

Ferdinand's chest was stuffy, and he suddenly vomited wildly, and the clerk next to him hurriedly prepared the basin. After tossing for a long time, Ferdinand relieved himself, and he said bitterly as he lay on the bed.

"I regret it...... I regret not delegating power earlier...... Rakuta...... I'm afraid I won't be able to control the scene...... Continue to accelerate, you must rush to Port Said, even if you die somewhere!"

Note: Today's third update will be sent, and there will be more later!

The brothers are amazing, they are already the third place on the Zhou Red Envelope List, 3,000 yuan, and they are only more than 200 yuan away from the second place.

Some book friends asked what is the meaning of this red envelope list, I will answer it here, first of all, of course, the book friends are distressed and feel sorry for the hard work of the net code word, helping to increase some income, I thank you in advance!

And more importantly, our Hidden Dragon book needs the top five recommended positions on the red envelope list.

The rules of the game of the red envelope list are that as long as you are in the top five in the seven days from Monday to Sunday, then the title of the book can be displayed on the home page, and the position displayed is the recommended position.

How can new book lovers find our books? Mainly rely on this recommendation position, just like the goods in the supermarket are definitely the most eye-catching at the gate, and the recommendation position is the same.

Xinjing once counted that the second and fifth places can at least triple their scores in a week, which means that they can attract three times more readers to read books.

And once you rush to the first place, it is a picture display, which is a better recommendation position, and basically you can improve your score tenfold in a week.

It's scary! It's the equivalent of an advertisement!

Therefore, the ultimate goal of everyone rushing to the red envelope list is to advertise our "Great Qing Hidden Dragon"! After all, everyone hopes that the hidden dragon will get better and better, right?

Let's try hard and see if we can get to second place!
