Chapter Twenty-Five: Shameless
The Princess Mary stopped at the port of Suez for three days, and even when it was to rest, it took too long, and the passengers began to talk and send representatives to question them.
Unfortunately, the captain and crew were silent, saying only that the ship had broken down and that it was fine soon.
It wasn't until a large number of people towing their families and even being carried on stretchers began to crowd the places on the Princess Mary and other moored ships that the captain of the ship, Mr. George, announced to everyone that there was a strange cataclysm in Egypt, with fireballs, insect swarms, and poisonous rains falling from the sky...... The Suez Canal had become blood-red and corrosive, and was no longer navigable, and the Princess Mary was to temporarily become an evacuation ship called up by the British Empire, and to change course, no longer through the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean, but south across the Cape of Good Hope and back to England.
The passengers on board were in an uproar, not expecting that the distant scene they had seen these days would be such a terrible reflection of the calamity, and what terrified them even more was that this calamity was spreading in Egypt, and not only that, but monsters like the living dead had appeared in many places, killing people.
Egypt was no longer the choke point of the British Empire's control of the Mediterranean-Indian Ocean, but a country of terror.
If it was just like this, Pipicia and the others would not say much, and what made them furious was that with the high commissioner of England in Egypt forcing the moored ships to give priority to transporting the English, even if they had the diplomatic decree of the current Chinese government, they would actually be driven off the ship!
Oh no, not all of them were thrown off the ship, such as the regimental commander and several official representatives who were allowed to remain on board, but the rest of the entourage were considered unrelated people who could be discarded, including Pipicia and Huang Xuemei.
In the face of an irresistible disaster, the English chose to sacrifice the personnel of other countries in order to protect their own people and interests.
To the shock of Pipicia and the others, the head of the regiment and most of the officials of the expedition did not react to this, but as if they were afraid that the "unrelated people" would continue to lie on the ship and they would be driven away, they were even more impatient than the English to coerce and lure everyone and force them to get off the ship!
To tell the truth, Pipicia has a lot of understanding of the English people's approach, if he sits in the position of the English High Commissioner to Egypt, and the English citizens are replaced by the Chinese people, he will also give priority to the relief of the Chinese people in the face of this kind of disaster that is close to the end of the world, and give up the personnel of other countries, just because he is a Chinese, of course, the interests of the Chinese people are the top priority, why should the Chinese people sacrifice themselves to save others?
But he absolutely could not tolerate the behavior of the head of the regiment and the other officials of the expedition!
The reason why China is sinking into darkness at this time is because these guys, who are the elite of the country, are selfish, shameless and indecent, do not seek political power in their positions, have no sense of responsibility and mission, have no way to govern the country, and sell the country, and what these officials do has no lower limit at all!
"Zhao Weiyang, do you still have a little shame!"
Anyway, he hung a sign as a counselor of the inspection group, which was considered an official official recognized by the government, and Daoist Lingzhe was not among the expelled members, but how could he watch Yang Shanzhen, Pipixia, Huang Xuemei, and the rest of the Taiyi Secret Society being driven off the ship? How could it be tolerated that other Chinese, who had bought tickets on board through due process, gave way to the English?
He angrily pointed at the head of the expedition, who was nodding to the English, and he must be angry.
A hint of gloom flashed on Zhao Weiyang's face, it is one thing to do something, and it is another thing to be scolded by someone, the former can cover his ears and pretend not to know, the latter is the face of the red fruit fruit, even if he is shameless, he also wants to save face in front of people: "Counselor Lingzhe!" This is a sacrifice for the English friends, it is a great thing, the government will not forget the contribution of these victims, what are you accusing me of doing this? Don't you know that diplomacy is no small matter? Do you know how much grief I have endured for the great cause of diplomacy and friendship? ”
Pipicia was also drunk when she heard such outrageous remarks outside the blockade of the English, Nima coins, there is a kind of self-sacrifice that you are going to sacrifice yourself!
Ling Zhe is not good at arguing, Zhao Weiyang's seemingly righteous and resolute speech, but in fact, he was so shameless that he almost had a stroke, trembling and pointing at the other party, and shouted angrily: "I have never seen such a shameless person!" ”
"Then you're seeing you today!" Zhao Weiyang lowered his voice and said viciously in Ling Zhe's ear: "There are two ways now, either give up those untouchables and let's live, or you will accompany them to die!" I haven't lived enough! ”
"Shameless, shameless!" Ling Zhe was so angry that he forgot about everything else, and immediately wanted to order the people of the Taiyi Secret Society to kill Zhao Weiyang.
But before he could make any moves, the guns of the English people around him were already aimed at him and the other Chinese.
Although the masters of the Taiyi Secret Society are powerful, but so many guns are pointed at each other, it will inevitably cause damage, and this is the territory of the English, there are hundreds of British troops who maintain order on the port alone, and they are hard, they will not be able to see it at all, but other Chinese people will also be affected by stray bullets.
When he was in a dilemma, Pipixia saw the situation more clearly, plus he already knew that this world was a world of gods and ghosts, and he had already reviewed those movies, according to the film and television information, the disaster in Egypt had been well understood, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Master Lingzhe, and stay useful!" We have to live better in order to make this Zhao Weiyang's ugliness public! ”
Then he said something in English to the officer in charge of the English side at the scene, only to see that the British officer was surprised, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded and said something, and then took out a pen and paper on the spot, wrote something, and sent the herald to trot away.
Ling Zhe, Zhao Weiyang and the others didn't know what Pipixia was doing, and after a while, the herald who had left came back with a document bag in his hand and handed it to Pipixia.
Pipixia exhaled, raised the document bag, and said loudly: "Master Lingzhe, I have received an explanation of this incident from the British side, and the other party has confirmed the attitude of Zhao Weiyang and his party towards us, as long as we live, this document will have a chance to be transmitted back to China, and when the time comes, let's see who is in charge of the ups and downs!" ”
Zhao Weiyang was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect that there would be such an operation! If this document is sent back to China, nothing else can be done, and his treatment of his compatriots in times of disaster alone will ruin his reputation!
"No, you can't do that! Why should that document be given to them! "Before, when the British army wanted to drive people out, he did not speak out, but acted as an accomplice, but now when it comes to his own interests, he bravely roars at the head of the British army.
It's a pity that this thing is unlearned, and he doesn't know English at all, so he got it gilded by virtue of his relationship, and the translator is someone else, and after carefully translating his words to the person in charge of the British army, the person in charge of the British army said something with arrogance on his face.
The translator said helplessly: "Commander, the English say that this has nothing to do with us, let us shut up." ”
In fact, he just heard the conversation between Pipicia and the British army officers, this is just a quid pro quo given to Pipicia by the British army in order to avoid trouble, Pipixia guaranteed that the Chinese side would leave without making trouble, and they proved to Pipixia and others the ugliness of Zhao Weiyang and his ilk, as for the future of Zhao Weiyang and others, it is a matter of the British army? can be less, the British army naturally doesn't care about selling these traitors backhand.
Zhao Weiyang wanted to do something, but was stopped by others, after all, the muzzle of the British army was still holding at this time, and someone persuaded: "Commander Zhao, Lord Zhao, calm down, calm down, we have to think about the good, the English people have evacuated in a hurry, can these untouchables stay here and still have good fruit to eat?" Even if they have that document, I'm afraid they can't leave here, right? ”
Although Zhao Weiyang was still not at ease, this was indeed not the place where he could call the shots, so he could only snort and pant, turned his head and said viciously to Lingzhe Daoist: "You, get out, wait for death with these untouchables!" From now on, you are no longer part of the group! ”
This is also within the scope of Zhao Weiyang's authority, plus the English people are eager to have one more place for their fellow clansmen, and after the translator excitedly translates the words, the British army immediately pointed their guns at Ling Zhe.
Daoist Lingzhe was also stiff when he arrived, and snorted: "Dog, I am willing to be in the same boat with a shameless bastard like you?" I'm afraid I'll live in a nightmare for the rest of my life! You have to sit on this boat, don't capsize in the water! I'm waiting to see the day you're ruined! ”
In fact, even if Zhao Weiyang didn't drive him away, he couldn't leave the team of the Taiyi Secret Society, how to bring people out, how to bring people back!
How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are with your son! Old Qin, there has never been a coward who abandoned his robe!
In fact, there was not only one Lao Dao, but the other two officials of the inspection group still had some integrity, and they also smacked Zhao Weiyang's face and left with Lao Dao.
Only Zhao Weiyang and a few guys left on the boat were left to wipe the saliva on their bodies while jumping like thunder.
