"President, you're okay, are you?" the gunfire stopped, and Wu Qianqiu and a few members of his entourage asked with concern, ignoring the dead bodies not far away.

"It's nothing...", calmed down, signaled the few bodyguards standing beside him to get out of the way, Yan Shao hurriedly walked to the side of the British Consul General Geert. Mr. Consul, what do you think..."

"It's not good...", his expression was slightly distorted, and Geert said bitterly as he clutched his arm in his hands.

On his arm, his clothes had been stained red with a large patch of blood, and if he looked closely, he could even see a hole in the place of his arm.

Just now, a bullet hit Geert's arm, causing this to happen. It should be noted that this was also the only bullet fired by the Assassins, which shows how unlucky the British consul was...

"Qianqiu, prepare the car immediately and send Mr. Consul to the hospital..."

"Yes!" Seeing that Yan Shao was indeed fine, Wu Qianqiu hurriedly turned around and went to arrange the car. And at this time, Geert was in pain and was about to lose his footing, and it was not surprising that he was just a diplomat, when had he ever been so seriously injured...

"Who are these?" a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and Geert looked at several dead bodies in the distance, gritting his teeth.

Obviously, these people are wearing Japanese clothes...

"Probably Japanese..."Touching his chin, looking at Gelt, whose face was pale for a while, Yan Shao suddenly felt that this seemed to be an opportunity that could be used, but after looking at the corpses again, he felt that even if he could use it. I'm afraid I won't be able to get any benefits, at least not his. "Really......... Can't these guys be more powerful..."I didn't think about whether he would still have his own life standing here if these assassins were powerful. Yan Shao complained in his heart.

At the same time, seeing that the assassins had been killed, the members of the Secret Service and the Guards also came up to see if they could find anything useful from the corpses, and at the surrounding vantage points, the members of the Secret Service and the Guards were on guard to avoid anything else from happening...

Nature. The sound of gunfire, assassinations and corpses also caused panic among the surrounding people, but with the presence of the Tianjin police, order was still under control. Just looking at the few Japanese who didn't succeed, the two Japanese in the crowd who were also wearing kimonos obviously had a look of resentment in their eyes when they looked at Yan Shao...

Surrounded by bodyguards, Yan Shao and Geert left the scene. Not much. Wu Qianqiu rushed over with the car that had been arranged.

"Mr. Consul, get in the car." Yan Shao helped Geert into the car.

Turning his head sideways and glancing at Yan Shao, although he knew very well that he was actually implicated by Yan Shao, Geert was still grateful. "Thank you..."

————————————————————

As he had done many times in the past, Yan Shao was assassinated again.

It's just that whether to call this assassination nonsensical or funny is somewhat difficult—————— then again, in fact, these two words have the same meaning, right?

That's it anyway...

Again, as previously described, this assassination was a complete episode. If you can think so.

It's already January, and it's been almost three months since the '75 Project' was established. At this time, no matter how slow the actions of the great powers are, some equipment should have been delivered—————— Britain, the United States and other countries have not thought about delaying the progress, the problem is that this thing is usually cash on delivery, if you don't send things over, the government of the country and the government will not be able to give the money to the foreign bank first.

Capitalists are greedy, especially when the interests are in front of them...

Selling things to China will definitely cultivate competitors for themselves, which foreign banks are not ignorant of, but when the interests are in front of them, they can't care so much.

It can be said that the agreement between the national government and foreign banks of various countries has just been reached, and these foreign banks have already begun to get busy with this matter.

The first to be sent was the Japanese mining equipment, after all, it was close enough, followed by some chemical and other equipment from the French, followed by the smelting equipment of the Americans and the shipbuilding equipment of the British...

This kind of thing is in stock in various countries, and the national government is in a hurry, so after being busy for a while, foreign banks from various countries have also sent some of them.

And this assassination happened when Yan Shao went to Tianjin to inspect.

Just before the agreement was signed, Yan Shao had already sent people to Tianjin to find a suitable location for the shipyard, fortunately, this kind of place is usually not particularly difficult to find, but it took a month to find a suitable place along the coast of Tianjin, and before the location was found, the shipbuilding equipment from the British side had been loaded and shipped to China...

After more than a month of long travel, the equipment was finally transported to Tianjin.

Long before the equipment fainted in Tianjin, the shipyard had already broken ground under the supervision of the local government and the navy, and now the delivery of the equipment can be regarded as speeding up the progress of the shipyard.

After another period of time, after being busy with the agreement with the Germans and tariffs and other issues, Yan Shao came up with the idea of going to Tianjin to have a look, after all, the future development of the navy will depend on the shipyards of Tianjin and Fuzhou.

Now that he is busy, he doesn't have time to go to several shipyards in the south, so he can only go to see this one in Tianjin. Of course, the project in Tianjin is not just a shipyard, but also a steam turbine factory that powers ships, but the location of the two factories is not very far away, just enough to see them all at once.

The shipbuilding equipment purchased by the government and the equipment of the steam turbine factory for the manufacture of the power system required for the ship were all purchased from the British, and this time Yan Shao wanted to visit the shipyard and the steam turbine factory, and it was only natural that he would invite the British consul in Tianjin to take a look.

In this regard, both Zhu Erdian and Geert gladly agreed, unlike those high-ranking officials in London, they saw the changes in China, and it can even be said that every once in a while, China's weight in their eyes will be heavier. In addition, Yan Shao had just purchased three battleships from South America not long ago, and London was asking them to strengthen their ties with the Chinese government to facilitate the leasing of these three battleships in the future.

So after getting permission from Jurdian. Geert and Yan Shao visited the shipyard and steam turbine factory under construction.

Regardless of the cost, the shipyard and steam turbine factory are already in rudimentary shape, and it is estimated that the construction will be completed by July, and Yan Shao is also satisfied with his choice. After all, even in later generations, Britain's shipbuilding industry was very developed, and it is the strongest country in this era.

As for the powertrain...

Just think about the Luo of the future? Luo on it...

In the case of the UK has fallen, Rowe? Luo is still one of the most advanced companies in this area. After all, the old imperialism is not in vain...

At the same time as the visit, the security work around Yan Shao was also very sufficient. After all, he has been assassinated several times in the past, especially recently. I don't know if it's because I'm about to start a family or because of the growing power, Yan Shao cherishes his life more and more, and attaches great importance to his own safety.

Not only will there always be a large number of bodyguards around him, but Yan Shao even learned from some Hollywood movies in later generations. Let the members of the Secret Service Bureau and the Guards Regiment arrange their men to —————— sniper rifles at the commanding heights of the travel route when they go out, which was available during the East and West Civil War. It even set a record of 800 yards, and played a significant role in trench warfare in World War I, and it is said that the first official sniper rifle was changed by Lee Enfield...

The assassin Yan Shao with a funny head is not afraid, but in case any assassin awakens and holds a sniper rifle in a tall building...

Yan Shao didn't want to end up with Kennedy and be blown out in front of his wife...

In addition, the Guards Regiment has a small 3,000 people, and the establishment of the Special Affairs Bureau has also expanded a lot, so there is no need to worry about manpower at all...

It's just no matter how seamless the precautions are. There will still be flaws, such as the one in front of you...

I learned about the progress of Yan Shao's visit to the shipyard. I don't know how many people crowded on both sides of the road, and although there were police officers on both sides to maintain order, the scene was still a bit chaotic.

In this case, there were a few Japanese people in the crowd......... Who cares?

And these Japanese assassins took this opportunity to break through the police blockade and rush to Yan Shao.

It's a pity that except for one of the 5 assassins who took out his gun and fired a shot, the remaining 4 were even half of the guns and were already beaten into a hornet's nest by the surrounding guards and members of the secret service...

It's not that they don't know the benefits of staying alive, it's just that at this time, the assassin was only more than ten meters away from Yan Shao. It would be best if they could capture the assassins, but after all, there were five assassins, and no one knew how many assassins still existed in the Dao, and if a bullet grazed Yan Shao, it would be a dereliction of duty...

As it turned out, they were right, and although the Assassins fired only one shot, they wounded Geert, if they had been allowed to fire a few more shots...

There is no body armor for Yan Shao to wear these days...

————————————————————

By the time the British consulate arrived, Geert had already been admitted to a hospital in Tianjin for surgery.

"Mr. President, what the hell is going on..."Seeing Yan Shao, who was standing outside the operating room and listening to something, Deputy Consul General James said a little anxiously. How is Mr. Consul doing now? There won't be any danger to your life..."

James was bored reading the newspaper in the consulate when he learned the news. But the news he got was very simple, just that Geert had been assassinated and was now injured and in the hospital. He didn't know what kind of injury he was in, where it was, how serious it was, whether it was dangerous, whether it would be life-threatening, or not.

Yan Shao had also met James when he was invited, so he was no stranger to him, and seeing him so anxious at this time, Yan Shao hurriedly comforted. "Don't worry, Mr. Consul was only shot in the arm, and now he is undergoing surgery inside, and he should be fine soon..."

When he said this, Yan Shao was somewhat regretful...

"Why did that bullet only hit Geert's arm and didn't hit him in the vital point..."

The situation has just been ascertained, and the five people who were assassinated this time were all Japanese. However, according to the information of the Special Affairs Bureau, these 5 people are not from the Black Dragon Society. Rather, it should be an ordinary Japanese ronin.

It's not surprising that it's not only the Black Dragon Society that is prone to brain fever in Japan, but also many ronin. And in places like Shanghai and Tianjin, such ronins are obviously not uncommon.

This time, several Japanese ronins felt that Yan Shao was too much of a threat to Japan, so they wanted to use the opportunity of Yan Shao's visit to the 'shipyard' to assassinate Yan Shao. It's a pity that instead of killing Yan Shao, these guys hit Geert's body with bullets, really...

Nonsensical...

However, this also made Yan Shao a little regretful, after all, if the bullet just now killed Geert, it would definitely be a big diplomatic crisis for Japan. If it is not handled properly, it may even affect the diplomatic relations between Britain and Japan, which is undoubtedly an excellent thing for Yan Shao.

But now...

If only the injury. And if the injury is only an arm, then this time the matter can be big or small, and the key depends on whether London is willing to pursue this matter...

————————————————————

In fact, not only Yan Shao, but even the new deputy consul general, James, is also regretting.

Leaving aside the impact of Gert's death on diplomatic relations between Britain and Japan. If he dies. The person who will take over the position of consul general will undoubtedly be James of the deputy consul general—————— although the relationship between James and Geert is not bad, but obviously for James, the Geert who died at this time is a good Gelt...

Because of this, James was very sad, which couldn't help but make Yan Shao and the people around him nod secretly.

It's just that if Yan Shao and them know that Jaime is sad because Geert is not dead, they don't know what they will think in their hearts...

Eighty percent will be very 'embarrassing'...

I don't know how long it took to get good (bad) news from the operating room, and the operation was successful. Geert is already fine.

After hearing the news and asking the doctor's permission. Yan Shao, James and others hurriedly walked into the operating room. By this time, Geert had been cleaned up relatively cleanly, and although he was still a little embarrassed, at least he was not covered in blood as he had been at the beginning.

Seeing Yan Shao and James walking in, Geert also nodded at them.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Consul..."With a helpless smile, Yan Shao spoke. Those Japanese people came for me, but I didn't expect you to help me prevent the disaster..."

Shaking his head, Geert didn't say anything.

was affected by Chiyu like this, and it was impossible to say that he was not annoyed, but he also knew that Lu Dao's crime was not Yan Shao, so he would not be angry with him. Moreover, even if he wanted to be angry, it might not be useful.

"What the hell are those Japanese trying to do...", so Geert had no choice but to shift his anger to the culprit.

Although Geert is not dead, it is certainly unlikely that diplomatic relations between Britain and Japan will be dashed, but Yan Shao does not mind making relations between the two countries worse. So after seeing Geert's face full of anger, Yan Shao gloated and slandered the Japanese...

Overall, it's pretty exciting...

On the other hand, although Geert did not die, news of Yan Shao's assassination and the shooting of the British consul general still spread. The first to know about it were the Elainor who stayed in Beijing and Zhu Erdian and others in the embassy district.

After learning the news of Yan Shao's assassination, Elaline and the others were shocked, until they were relieved to hear that Yan Shao was not injured.

However, it was obviously impossible to stay in Beijing like this, so the three of them soon took a car to Beijing under the escort of bodyguards.

Zhu Erdian and others were also shocked when they learned the news, knowing that Dougert was the British Consul General in China, and although his position was not as good as Zhu Erdian, he was only under Zhu Erdian in China, and his status was definitely not ordinary.

If he died in a car accident, it would be nothing, but this time he was actually injured because he was assassinated, and I heard that he was still injured by the Japanese, so this incident is...

"I'm in trouble..."

At least in Jurdian's opinion, this time the level of trouble is a bit beyond imagination...

In fact, it was not only him, but the ministers of several other countries were also taken aback after learning the news, especially the Japanese minister, who almost didn't even faint after learning the news.

And when he recovered his strength, he gritted his teeth and wanted to swallow those ronins alive.

"Those brainless guys actually ran to assassinate Yan Shao, if they succeeded, they would have forgotten, but not only did they fail, but they injured the British Consul General, don't they know how troublesome this matter will be!"

Roaring in the office, if you change his outfit, I'm afraid it's no problem to play Godzilla...

Seeing the Japanese minister roaring there, the counselor of the legation hurriedly leaned in and asked.

"Mr. Minister, what are we going to do now?" the Counsellor was a little nervous when he said this, and it was obvious that he knew that this time the matter was big or small......... Yan Shao didn't forget it, but it was the British Consul General who was injured this time...

"Send a report to the country first, inform the country of the situation here, and ask how to deal with this matter..."Hearing the counselor's words, the Japanese minister who was still there COS Godzilla also stopped roaring, although his face was still full of anger, he still tried to calm down. I'll go to Tianjin later to see how it's going, and if you stay in Beijing, let me know as soon as there's any news..."

"Yes!" Lowering his head, the counselor said respectfully... (To be continued......)
