C1902 stand-off (1/2)
The French military and Chinese had already formed a feud, so of course the garrison troops of the Suez Canal would not give any face to the Chinese. Seeing that the Chinese soldier actually dared to fight against each other, a team of guards ran out from the small building and gathered with the two guards, forming a wall of bayonets.
The smell of gunpowder on the wharf immediately intensified. There were a row of fifteen or sixteen tall and burly Frenchmen, each holding a bayonet and shouting in slang French.
The twelve young Chinese marines on the opposite side were not weak at all. As they fought back using all sorts of scoldings, the bayonets in their hands collided with the enemy's. It seemed as if blood was about to flow at any moment.
The wharf was immediately filled with the sound of sirens and sirens. The people of Egypt looked on in horror at the group of lunatics fighting each other, and from afar, the sound of horses' hooves trampling could be heard. The French cavalry was urgently providing support.
The medical team led by the Evil Doctor Huang never thought that these Frenchmen would be so rude. We risked our lives to help you investigate the plague, but in the end, we actually ended up getting a bayonet.
”Damn it, none of them are human beings!” You heartless thing, let's go! ”They're not giving us anything, they're all sick …”
”We can't retreat! They had to apologize before retreating … If we take out our bayonets and retreat, how will we have the face to go to Europe? ”I have to go up …”
In the entire medical team, only Doctor Ba Ke was still relatively calm. He broke free from the protection of the surrounding soldiers and rushed to the center of the bayonet forest and roared loudly, ”I am British doctor Ba Ke, I am a British citizen … Please calm down! ”
”Frenchman, if you don't want to see these Chinese, can I represent them? Can I talk to your officials directly? ”Don't create diplomatic disputes...”
Then, Ba Ke suddenly lowered his voice and spoke to the leader of the squads in French, ”Don't cause any trouble, the Great Ocean Light British Navy has more than four thousand people, if there is a conflict, they would have an excuse to intervene!”
”Does your Consul want to let thousands of our troops land on the ground as an excuse? ”Think about it …”
This sentence subdued the leader of the arrogant French class, and his eyes immediately revealed a look of withdrawal. ”Yeah …” ”Fine, I'll go in and send a message to all of you, but if the superior doesn't see you, it doesn't count as me saying …”
”Now, all of you, retreat immediately …” Just came from the dead, who knows if you will infect us with the plague, retreat! ”
Ba Ke gasped for breath, ”Enough! Ignorant fellow, this plague didn't spread in the air at all! There is no danger in us standing together! ”Too ignorant …”
Those who were soldiers naturally could not understand what the bacteriology was. At that time, there were many illiterate European countries, and there were many soldiers in the French Army that could not write nor read.
The class rep completely disregarded Doctor Ba Ke's scolding, turned his head, and ran into the house while shrugging his shoulders.
Ba Ke retreated back to his medical team and said in a low voice, ”I saw merciless disregard in the eyes of these Frenchmen. The Führer's story should be true, these Frenchmen do not care about the life of the Egyptian aboriginals, they only know how to protect their own safety …”
”Looks like the legend of the construction of the canal and the death of one hundred thousand civilians is true. These bastards have done it! All of them were vicious and merciless … ”If only there's someone who can talk to the local elders directly, give them the method to prevent the plague!”
The crowd looked at each other and everyone shook their heads. Since ancient times, the Middle East had always been the desert of China, so the presence of the Chinese here was not as influential as it was in Europe.
It wasn't easy to find someone who could talk to the local elders. Just when he was at a loss, Ma Hui suddenly said, ”I …” Maybe I can try, just give me a translator! ”Because I'm returning the favor, and I believe in the same thing as they do!”
