In accordance with Chen Zhong's instructions, Dao Feng planted nearly 500 special combat personnel in the area of Cuomei and Yadong, and they brought 15 Makqin heavy machine guns and 6 heavy artillery pieces to set up an ambush in advance.

This arrangement was made to prevent the cunning MacDonald from repeating his old tricks. Once the British army makes any moves, the 1,000 special combat troops who have set up an ambush in advance will be able to quickly carry out a devastating blow to the invading British army.

The handover to Youngherpen officially began, and MacDonald led six guards to meet with Blade.

Prior to the handover, Blade, in his capacity as a general, read a serious statement from the General's Mansion to MacDonald, in which he said:

First, it is an inseparable part of the Chinese national regime, and any attempt to split the country is an extremely serious mistake.

Our general's government will give them the most brutal revenge and blow to these countries or organizations with bad intentions.

Second, the General's Office represents the will of the Chinese nation and exercises the functions and powers of managing diplomacy and the military. Some external affairs will be handled with the approval of the general.

Third, the general will not recognize the previously signed Treaty of Lhasa and its renewal.

Fourth, the three invasions of the British army have caused huge losses to my property and the lives of the residents, and I demand, in the name of the general, that the British East India Company compensate me five million taels of silver and punish the war criminals who provoked the invasion three times.

MacDonald almost turned his back on the general's statement handed by Blade, and in his opinion, it was a great disgrace to their British Empire, and it was unacceptable in any way.

So, he said to Blade: "Your Excellency, you are new, I don't think you are crazy, this statement is enough for our British Empire to declare war on you." ”

Blade smiled coldly and said, "General MacDonald, do you think General Ben is joking?" Have you forgotten the Battle of Lhasa twenty days ago? Didn't you see the speech of the king of Hainan at the press conference? The whole world thinks that Chen Zhong, the king of Hainan, is a war gambler, do you doubt it? I've been carrying out what you call the orders of this war gambler. Do you think we can't afford to gamble?

The Japanese West Sea Fleet was completely wiped out under the warships and artillery of this war gambler. Isn't your Far Eastern Fleet, too, under his warships and artillery, discouraged? Gamblers always have the logic of gamblers, in the face of such gamblers, do you dare to bet? If you really doubt it, then give it a try! I'm sure you'll die worse than Ferrier! ”

"General, I can now be completely convinced that you are a madman! On behalf of the East India Company, I can strongly disagree with this statement! MacDonald said angrily.

"General MacDonald, it takes money to deny something, and you can't represent the East India Company!"

MacDonald got up and was about to leave, when Younghusband shouted, "General, don't you want me?" ”

MacDonald turned around, shook his head, and said, "It's not that General Ben doesn't want you, it's that we can't afford it for the time being, and besides, I don't need a waste like you." With that, MacDonald walked out of the negotiation room.

MacDonald and his guards left Gyantse angrily, and walked more than three miles, but saw that the Red Devil special operations force was escorting a British army, which was about seven or eight hundred people, and was secretly infiltrated by MacDonald before he came to negotiate.

At this moment, MacDonald seems to believe what Blade says, what a bunch of crazy people they are! A bunch of out-and-out lunatics! He knew very well that dealing with madmen was too risky! Thinking of this, he quickly ran in the direction of India.

"General MacDonald, do you think you'll still be able to go? I told you clearly that dealing with gamblers requires capital, not to mention that you can't afford to play with a king-level super gambler! Come back with me, and immediately call the Prince of the East India Company, if you do not agree to this condition, our Red Devil special operations force will attack India directly. ”

MacDonald smiled bitterly and said, "I've heard that there is a saying in China that says that those who come out to mix always have to pay it back." I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe a little.

But, General, do you think it's possible for you to get the Prince to promise you? Even if the British Empire doesn't want us anymore, it will not be possible to accede to your unreasonable demands. You may have made a bet too big. ”

At this time, Chen Zhongdian ordered the Hainan fleet, which was heading for the Indian Ocean, to approach the Bay of Bengal. At the same time, Hainan was ordered to continue to seize the Silang.

Blade ordered the Red Devil special operations forces in Cuomei and Yadong to carry out artillery bombardment of British troops in India.

Under the pressure of Blade, MacDonald telegraphed the contents of Blade to the Prince of the East India Company.

Ten minutes later, the Prince of the East India Company called back, it was impossible! The East India Company was to send troops into the station.

On the border with India, a fierce artillery battle broke out between the Red Devils special operations forces and the British army, and the Sino-Indian border suddenly burst into artillery fires and flames.

The positions of the British troops were hit by heavy artillery fire, and after more than an hour of shelling, the Red Devils special operations units began to attack the deep area of the British troops.

At this moment, more than 10,000 marines of the Hainan Fleet also successfully landed and began to attack the territory of India.

At the same time, Qi Gang, who was far away in Guangzhou, also received Chen Zhong's order to come to Hong Kong again, forcing Governor Nathan to send an urgent telegram to China again, asking for support.

At this time, there were serious divisions and heated debates in the British Parliament.

India is in a hurry!

Hong Kong is in a hurry!

In the end, it was decided that Britain would re-send people to negotiate the Lhasa Treaty.

This answer was categorically rejected by Chen Zhong, and with the order, Hong Kong and India attacked a little more fiercely!

Finally, in the afternoon, the Prince personally telegraphed Blade and agreed to abolish the original "Lhasa Treaty" and renew it, but it still needs to be considered in terms of war reparations.

Blade basically agreed with the British prince's response, and set a deadline for final negotiations on the issue of war reparations and determination of reparations on the second day, but Blade demanded that Britain negotiate with military attachΓ©s and above lieutenant generals and civilian ministers above ministerial level.

When MacDonald heard the news, he shrugged his shoulders, shook his head, and said, "The world is crazy!" It's literally a gambler's world! ”。
