Next chapter
Indiana? Jones saw from afar that his brothers were stopped on their way to the first line of defense of the Mexican troops, and the officer in charge of the inspection began to point fingers at the brothers.
Winters in Mexico are not too cold, and they are really warm in the sun. But Indiana? Jones's mood was not so warm, there were too few people who came to carry out the assassination, and any loss would make the assassination attempt a complete failure. Indiana, if you can? Jones himself hopes to be able to mix in from the Chinese, at least if things don't work out, he can let the Chinese die a few more by way of guò raids, which is really enough to kill one and earn one.
It's just that this idea is just an idea, and there is no hope of achieving it at all. The appearance of the Chinese and the Americans is too different to blend in. Anyway, Indiana? Jones both believed that the Chinese were more serious than the Mexicans.
At this point, Indiana? Jones saw from a distance that the two brothers who had just crossed their chests were crossed on their chests under the orders of the Mexican officers in the distance, and as soon as the cross-drawing was over, he saw that the nearby Mexican officers and soldiers raised their weapons and aimed at these people. Indiana? Jones was shocked at first, but even more panicked by the American patriots who came with him around him. The current situation is different from what everyone thought before, in the original plan, this team of American patriots disguised as Mexican soldiers should easily cross the first line of defense under the leadership of the Mexican lieutenant colonel.
“…… That's a cross posture that's wrong! "Indiana? Jones heard his bespectacled companion speak in a voice of remorse with hindsight.
Turning his head to look at the glasses from Philadelphia, Indiana? Jones also understood the problem in his heart. Most Americans are Protestants, and the way of making crosses is very crude. The most popular religion in Mexico is Catholicism, and it has been encroached upon by many more stubborn religious sects, so they have many ways to draw crosses. Because my dad is a pastor, Indiana? Jones remembered some of the anecdotes his dad had told him. In Europe, this pattern is even more delicate. It is said that in Eastern Europe and Russia, just by looking at how the fingers are raised and how they are pinched, you can accurately determine the school of thought.
But all of this stuff is in Indiana? Jones's remorseful mind flashed through it, and it wasn't just those two brothers who had just crossed the cross, including Indiana? Jones and several others drew a cross, and if there was no next move, all the actions of these brothers would fail. The assassination attempt would also have been a complete failure.
At this point, Indiana? Jones saw his brother suddenly take out his hand and take a step forward, and took the lieutenant colonel who led the way as a hostage. While the Mexicans were amazed, the other brothers had already thrown grenades at the Mexicans.
How about not looking at it later, Indiana? Jones turned around and ran towards the back of the stable. A part of the Mexican cavalry gathered the horses together, and in Plan B, they used the horses to storm the defensive line. The American detachment took advantage of the situation and rushed in, and it would be great if they could meet the retreating Chinese emperor.
There weren't many of those soldiers guarding the horses, and they didn't know what was going on, see Indiana? Jones and the others came to the front, and just as they wanted to ask what was going on, they heard several explosions in the distance one after another. The soldiers guarding the horses were so stunned that they let Indiana? Jones walked up to them lightly.
At the time of the explosion, Weese and Mexican President Porfirio? Dias had a great conversation. Wesé agrees with the Mexican president opposite him, who has a strong ambition, Porfirio? Díaz really wanted to build a strong Mexico that was subordinate to him. Wei Ze actually doesn't like that kind of scum, even if it is a bastard who belongs to China, a bastard is a bastard after all. For a country, it is the people of the country that will last forever, and a great man once said that the eyes of the people are bright.
A president who does not reject industrialization and who is willing to develop the productive forces can always solve a lot of problems. What's more, in order to solve the problem, this kind of person is willing to really pay the price.
Satisfied not only with Wese, but also with Mexican President Porfirio? Dias found the meeting with the Chinese emperor valuable. Not to mention the unexpected kindness of the Chinese emperors, Porfirio? Díaz felt that he understood what the Chinese emperor wanted from Mexico. These demands are actually easy to understand, the first is that the two sides should not go to war, the second is that Mexico should allow Chinese companies to seek mines and buy oil fields and mines in Mexico, and the third is to allow Chinese companies to set up factories in Mexico.
These three conditions in Porfirio? Dias seems to be able to help Mexico develop its industry, and he will not refuse. Even so, Mexican President Porfirio? Dias didn't dare to take it lightly. He carefully observed the Chinese Emperor Wei Ze opposite, paying attention to what kind of impact his words would have on the Chinese Emperor.
While Porfirio? President Díaz found that the reaction of the emperor opposite him was different from that of ordinary people, he did not react to trivial matters and things that did not have a clear position, and only expressed some affection for those things that had to do with the future of China's business with Mexico. But Porfirio? President Díaz still has no definite convictions, because the emperor is generally a creature that is emotional, irritable, and fickle. Maybe it's just that the Chinese emperor's affection at this time made him behave like this?
At this moment, several faint explosions were heard in the distance. Porfirio? President Díaz saw that the expression of the Chinese emperor immediately changed, just like a fierce beast suddenly felt the breath of battle, and the state of the whole person changed. A moment later, a Chinese military attache hurriedly walked in and said a few words to the Chinese emperor.
Porfirio? President Díaz was also very uneasy, he was a soldier like Emperor Weese, so he could hear the explosion coming from the Mexican border. The Chinese military attache reacted quickly, Porfirio? President Díaz will also have to make quick decisions on his own. He said to the attendant beside him, "Go out and see what's going on!" ”
The squire ran quickly to Porfirio? In the direction behind Dias, there was a door, and when the curtain was lifted, the attendant walked out quickly. Then the top leaders of the two different countries paused for a moment to talk. The meeting did not build a house, and the two sat on either side of the boundary line, with a simple semicircle surrounded by cloth behind them. Two semicircles with a diameter of 15 meters form a circular venue. It can shelter from the wind and dust, but it can also make the sun warm and sunny.
Jean Porfirio? President Díaz regretted that the curtain on the Chinese side was the Chinese flag, the red flag, the big golden stars and the small stars, which looked quite eye-catching. Compared with this distinct national image, the screens on the Mexican side are just ordinary delicate blankets, and from the perspective of viewing, they may have more local Mexican characteristics than Chinese screens. From a political point of view, this is too far behind.
While Porfirio? President Dias's attendant was also a little anxious, and he quickly collected the Mexican military flag that the army carried when it came, and pinned it to the curtain with wire, but because the flags were of different sizes, and the color faded after the wind and sun, and the stained ones did not look clean enough, compared with the bright and clear curtain of the Chinese, it was still not imposing enough.
In this emergency, Porfirio? President Díaz remembered what the Chinese ambassador to Mexico had said earlier, about the assassination. He was not willing to provoke the Chinese emperor, let alone give the Chinese emperor an excuse, so Porfirio? Dias asked almost speechlessly: "Your Majesty, why do you have to use red for your country's flag?" You know, the Catholic priests in our country believe that red is the color of the devil. Of course, I think you must be well aware that the constitution of our country is against religion. ”
Weser didn't want to force it on Porfirio? Dias was going to button his hat, so he smiled: "Our national flag is red, that's because the Chinese flag is red with the blood of martyrs." And the words of the Catholics are probably nonsense, the archbishops of the Vatican are also called cardinal archbishops, if red is the color of the devil, then this group of top archbishops of the cardinal department is wearing a robe of the devil's color, is it too ridiculous. ”
A joke about the cardinal's robe, if not ridiculous, for Porfirio? President Díaz came up with an idea that he would be able to repay the swaggering clergy in the future. Similar to the head of the Mexican Freemasons, Porfirio? President Díaz did not have the slightest affection for religion, and when he came to power, he announced that he would never actually implement the anti-church provisions of the 1857 constitution in order to appease Catholics. President Díaz, however, is adamant that this clause will not be lifted. Legally, therefore, the actions of the Catholic Church in Mexico are not so legitimate, because the Mexican government does not recognize the meaning of the Catholic Church in Mexico.
At this moment, the sound of fierce rifle fire was heard from the Mexican military formation. If the previous few faint blows would have been considered unclear, the current situation would not need to be said at all, and it must have been an attack that had taken place, and although the attack was still far from the central venue, there was no need to talk about the attack.
When everyone was nervous, Wei Ze first showed a mocking smile, "Your Excellency, since such a thing has happened. I'm sure you'd like to meet me in San Francisco, right? ”
"Huh?" Porfirio? President Díaz did not immediately react explicitly to Weese's words.
"I'm sure you're here to meet me in San Francisco this time." Weser emphasized.
Porfirio? President Díaz knows he is at fault, and he cannot afford to say no more now. As the Chinese ambassador to Mexico said before, as long as the Chinese emperor thinks that the attitude of the Mexican side is perfunctory, probably the Chinese emperor will choose the solution is to kill him without hesitation.
In order to avoid the wrath of Emperor Wesser, Porfirio? President Díaz immediately made a judgment, "Your Majesty, please believe me, I will definitely come to San Francisco to meet you at your invitation." ”
