Chapter 499: Pretending to be a Forced Offender Returns!
Huang Xiaolei, who had curled up behind the barricade and slept all night, finally changed into a suit brought by her life assistant from her apartment in the British Concession in Tianjin. The bloodstains from yesterday's fierce fighting have been cleaned up, replaced by light makeup and a refreshing ball-head, and if it weren't for the black bulletproof vest under the suit jacket, you wouldn't have noticed the difference between the former paralegal and the image she used to be.
In a makeshift field tent set up by paratroopers, a representative sent by the German minister Hai Jing was talking to Huang Xiaolei in broken Chinese, and he had to mix in a few words of English whenever he didn't make sense.
In fact, after receiving the news that the battleship of the Great Song Dynasty had arrived off the coast of Tianjin Port, the German minister to the Qing Dynasty, Hai Jing, immediately sent this representative named Berkman to the dock to ask for a meeting with Huang Xiaolei.
However, last night, the strong guards of the Great Song Dynasty told Berkman to stay by the fire to keep warm on the grounds that the foreign affairs commissioner was resting, and waited until dawn to make a report.
The German business representative carefully looked at the foreign affairs attaché of the Great Song Dynasty, who had caused the market of various commodities in Tianjin and even in the entire northern part of China to plunge or skyrocket overnight; If it weren't for the silver pistol in the burgundy leather holster that looms under the short jacket of the suit, you would not be able to connect the Chinese beauty in front of you to the turbulent situation in Tianjin today.
"On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, I would like to reiterate once again that we have not imposed any level of blockade on the port of Tianjin, and that all ships, including warships, except for the ships of the belligerent Russian countries, can freely enter and leave the port of Tianjin under the condition of following the guidelines of the Great Song Navy." Huang Xiaolei explained the current situation in Tianjin Port to Berkman in Mandarin.
"Your Excellency, you have also seen that the entire port of Tientsin is currently in a state of suspension, and after a battleship of your navy visited the port without warning, not even a fishing boat, has dared to enter the port. The German Government has no intention of interfering in the actions of your navy, but only to obtain permission from your navy to freely enter and leave the port of Tianjin. As far as Berkman is concerned, I don't know how many times he has recited the above paragraph in advance.
"Your ship does not need any special permission to enter or leave the port of Tianjin, and in fact, our navy is here to assist the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in evacuating its employees and their families stranded in Tianjin." Huang Xiaolei was afraid that this business representative who was at the elementary school level of Chinese would not understand her awkward diplomatic rhetoric, so she said another paragraph in English.
"Do you think you need to confirm this permission from your government to the commander of your navy again?" Berkman asked.
Unlike the arrogant British, Hans has a deep cooperation with the Crossing in chemical and metal manufacturing, uh, well, in fact, it is the rough embryos who caught the strict and rigid Hans to come to Liaodong as a strong man.
The rough embryos even threw the information from the books about the "Zeppelin" airship that they had bought from the shopping system to Hans, so the Germans were convinced that the nine sixteen-inch guns of the BB63 were not a joke. Even after BB63 entered the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea and was active, they directly withdrew their Far East Fleet to the port of Shanghai further south.
"Well, we need to charter some passenger ships to transport the employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Dalian Bay, so it's better to leave this matter to you, and those ships that dare not leave the port because of some concerns can leave with these passenger ships we have leased." Huang Xiaolei said to Berkman .
Looking at the current situation, the stereotypical German business representative in front of him will not stop if he does not see the stamped pass of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, but the traversers have never thought of blockading the port of Tianjin, so what kind of pass can they talk about?
Besides, if BB63 really wants to blockade Tianjin Port, what can you expect from her to get a solid written document?
The name of the commercial representative was already a clear indication of the upper limit of Berkman's vision, and after receiving Huang Xiaolei's promise to allow the German merchant ships to travel with the fleet of evacuated employees of the Great Song Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he hurriedly left the port to stop the loss of the German merchants.
As soon as Berkman left the field tent, Huang Xiaolei heard the loud cheers of the more and more MI agents outside.
Even if Miss Stick thought with her toes, she knew that it was Tianbuz's pretend convict who had landed on the shore, and it was estimated that the wounded who had been sent to BB63 by the "Black Hawk" helicopter had already been accommodated.
Walking out of the tent, Huang Xiaolei saw Tian Buzi waving his dark gray peaked cap towards the outer agents of the MIA, and the crowd burst into applause and cheers from time to time as he moved.
The meticulously groomed oily back and even the mustache on the upper lip you can tell that it has been carefully trimmed. White shirts, black vests, crisp trousers, and shiny brown leather shoes, pretending that criminals will never wear bulletproof vests in front of people.
The dark brown vintage underarm holster was clearly from the master, and inside the holster was his famous silver-white Browning 1935 pistol. You may not believe it, but after the photo of the codifying man called "Total War" was widely circulated, the rough embryos in the maintenance department made a lot of money by relying on the Browning knockoffs in the hands of this hand-saved product.
Although it was late autumn, the codifier did not wear a coat, and even the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up; With a half-burning cigar in his mouth, he held a Winchester Pump 1300 shotgun with a mahogany butt in his right hand and proudly slung it over his shoulder.
Although Tianbuz's outfit is a high-priced haute couture, his whole person is the image of rolling up his sleeves to fight with people, which is why those MI agents cheered like chickens, their leader, who was "assassinated and wounded" a few months ago, came back to fight with them!
"Humph! Today, the price of "Observation" in the black market is probably going to double several times, only there is a photo of this pretending to be a coercion on the front page, so there must be a white-skinned lady bidding at a high price! Huang Xiaolei spouted.
"Hi, long time no see, Stephanie! As soon as I heard the news that you were in an ambush, I came to pick you up with a battleship. Tian Buzi said to Huang Xiaolei in English.
"Get out! Are you going to die if you don't pretend to be forced? Hurry up and take over the screening of the evacuees, as you know, the Provisional Executive Committee never let me meddle in the work of the Tianjin Station of the Military Intelligence Department. Huang Xiaolei said to Tian Buzi.
"Well, this isn't busy, I have time to deal with this kind of chores, after all, we can't leave until BB63 finishes handling some things." Tian Buzi said.
"What is Luo Can going to do? In my previous communication with the Interim Executive Committee, I didn't hear any news that this guy had permission to fire. Huang Xiaolei asked.
"Soon he'll be able to get permission, although I don't understand why anyone would be planning such a suicide." Tian Buzi said.
"Who? After BB63 made such a big move in Maguan, is there anyone it can't determine? Huang Xiaolei couldn't believe her ears, there wasn't even a decent ironclad ship in Tianjin Port!
"The radar on the BB63 showed that the large ships in the entire port were not moving, but unexpectedly found that there were more than a dozen small ships assembling in formation, haha, if the radar crew on the BB63 was still reliable, those ships should be some torpedo boats and other little guys." Tian Buzi said.
“ith small boats? Are you kidding me? (Small boats?) What are you laughing at? "This time, the young lady really suspected that what Tian Buzi just said was not Mandarin at all.
Hearing the news brought by Tian Buzi, Huang Xiaolei felt that the whole person was not good, could it be that even Bai Pi, who had always regarded himself very highly, was going to play a suicide attack? That's not a good omen!
However, the truth is that the whiteskins are as proud as ever, and they are convinced that the armor of the BB63, and even the armor below the waterline, will not be able to withstand the attacks of the small ship guns that scare the pirates.
