"Boss, this guy is so heavy, I might as well throw him into the ditch and drown him, it would save me the trouble!"
Wang Dali's eyes widened: "What do you know? This is a good bait. As long as you hold him in your hands, the British will definitely be on tenterhooks every day. They will be restless when eating and sleeping. This is called the heart.
Tactics, if you kill him, it's just a temporary relief."
"Boss Yingming, you have really learned all the tricks the instructor uses to punish people." Xu Xiaoshan said with a smile.
"That's right!" Wang Dali smiled and said, "Let me tell you, I have a pretty smart mind. If I could study hard before, I might have been admitted to college long ago."
"You'd better find which way the university door opens first!"
Xu Xiaoshan's words made everyone laugh. This operation was an unprecedented success. They also did not expect that the British's precautions in Weihaiwei were too lax. After they left Fengtian, they put on makeup and looked like Liba.
After entering Weihaiwei, we found out where Ge Lin lived.
That night, they secretly kidnapped Ge Lin, killed two of his bodyguards, and then blew up a police station not far away. They threw a dozen grenades in total, blowing up almost the entire police station.
It's flat, but it's a pity that most of the policemen in the police station are Indian Asans. After all, citizens of the British Empire are still very valuable. They don't want to go all the way to China, so they can only get some from the colonies to recharge.
When they were evacuating, there happened to be a training station in front of them. There was a squad of British troops in charge of this place. Wang Dali had already arranged for a cover team to attack here, and as a result, three or two British troops were killed. In the melee,
Several more people were killed, and only two of them were slightly injured. This result made them confident.
Of course, this is partly due to their rigorous training, but also because the British colonial army was too incompetent. Their long-term pampering has caused them to lose sufficient security.
Wang Dali and the others were walking happily, when suddenly Ge Lin on Xu Xiaoshan's shoulder moved suddenly, and then he made a whining sound and kicked with his hands and feet.
"Damn, you woke up so quickly. I'll slap you again." Xu Xiaoshan's palm quickly struck the back of Ge Lin's head, and the guy passed out again.
"Little Shanzi, be careful when you start, don't kill this guy." Wang Dali couldn't help but remind him. According to the plan, they sneaked into the mountain stronghold they had selected long ago. As tough bandits with many years of experience, they dealt with
These are too familiar.
But they didn’t know that they had gotten into huge trouble. For many years, there had not been such a vicious attack on Westerners. The newspapers immediately exploded, and a group of thugs actually killed the British Empire’s military and police officers and kidnapped them.
The person in charge of Swire Shipping Company. This is simply an insult to the British!
Various newspapers controlled by the British Empire all jumped out to denounce this uncivilized behavior, and the British Foreign Ministry also took decisive action. You aggressively approached the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and lodged a strong protest, demanding that China must
Solve the case as quickly as possible and compensate the UK for its losses.
British Minister Eston also knew very well that the most powerful person in the current government was Vice President Zhang Tinglan, so he found Zhang Tinglan as soon as possible.
"Mr. Eston, we are old friends. We have always met in Fengtian in the past, but this is the first time in Beijing. This is my new official residence. It used to be a prince's palace. The furnishings inside are very good. You might as well visit it."
Aston suppressed his anger. The British Empire was slapped in the mouth. He had no time to talk nonsense here, so he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Vice President, I first congratulate you on your victory in the election. The British Empire is also very happy." I value you and think you are the most promising politician in China. But the vicious case that just happened has made the empire doubt your ability to govern."
"Mr. Minister, please pay attention to your wording!" Gu Weijun on the side had already widened his eyes: "The Vice President has just arrived in Beijing and has just taken over various affairs. It is already a blessing to find time to see you in the midst of his busy schedule. The importance the UK attaches to it, as for its ability to govern, is not something you can doubt!"
Aston was pushed back all of a sudden. Only then did he remember that he was no longer facing the Beiyang of the past, but the military and political strongman known for his toughness, and he had to lower his head.
"Your Excellency, Vice President, I apologize to you, but I still want to say that the vicious case that happened in Weihaiwei must be solved as soon as possible. The dead and injured military and police officers of the empire must get justice, and the missing citizens of the empire must be found as soon as possible!"
Zhang Tinglan nodded slightly and said noncommittally: "I will arrange personnel to conduct an investigation. If there is any information, I will inform the British side."
"I think this is not enough!" Eston obviously would not be bothered by a perfunctory word, so he left. He said loudly: "Your country must come up with a timetable for solving the case as soon as possible and details of compensation. I think this This is a dereliction of duty by your government."
Zhang Tinglan never paid attention to these imperialist bluffs. She leaned on the sofa, crossed her legs, and sneered: "Mr. Minister, since you say that we have neglected our duties, we might as well listen to your speech!"
Eston also said with a gloomy face: "According to the provisions of the Treaty of Xinchou, the Qing government must strictly prohibit its own people from participating in actions against the great powers. Now that such a bloody incident has occurred, isn't it a dereliction of duty?"
Zhang Tinglan has been worrying about the Boxer compensation for the past two days, and now Eston actually took the initiative to bring it up, which just hit Zhang Tinglan's lung tube.
"Mr. Minister, firstly, the case of Weihaiwei has not been investigated. It is still uncertain whether it was done by the Chinese. Secondly, it is something recognized by the Qing government, and more than 20 years have passed. Some old almanacs should be changed. Changed!"
"Mr. Vice President, do you want to deny the treaties with the great powers?" Ashton's expression also became very serious: "The basis for all countries to recognize the Republic of China is that you inherit the various treaties of the Qing Dynasty. If this basis is destroyed , diplomatic relations must be re-examined.”
Gu Weijun saw that the scene was a little out of control, so he laughed and said: "As a criminal case, we should conduct a detailed investigation. After we have an accurate conclusion, we can consider other things."
Eston also did not expect Zhang Tinglan to be so indifferent to this kind of case. He could only stand up, but before leaving, he still said: "Your Excellency, the Vice President, the British Empire attaches great importance to its relationship with you and is willing to provide all kinds of help. But there is a prerequisite, that is, the two countries must maintain friendly and cooperative relations."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Zhang Tinglan sneered at his back: "What a great British Empire. Sooner or later, I will bury this empire!"
When Gu Weijun heard this from the side, he just thought it was a moment of anger. Of course he didn't know that in twenty years, the world would undergo earth-shaking changes. I remember that someone in later generations said that there are only two kinds of countries in Europe, one is small country
.One type is a country that does not know that it is a small country.
Of course, in this time and space, Europe may become dwarfed faster, and the current British Empire is just an afterglow.
"Vice President, how do you think the problem in Shandong should be handled?"
"Take it slow, but you have to remember one thing. If the British want to take any action on their own and trample on China's sovereignty, they must push it back."
"I understand." Gu Weijun also hurriedly made preparations.
In the blink of an eye, five days later, an open letter suddenly appeared on the declaration: All the grandchildren in the UK are listening to me. Shandong is my hometown. You bastards have stolen the land for more than 20 years and killed your parents.
.Looting without restraint, doing all kinds of bad things, and losing all conscience.
Get out of here right now, otherwise there will be assassinations every day and attacks every month, which will make it hard for you to eat and sleep. Even if you are hiding in the bastard's nest, I will still find you out and chop off your heads one by one.
If you don't accept it, then have a fight with me and see who is afraid of whom...
When they first saw this letter, many people just thought it was a joke. It was full of swear words and it was almost like a prank, but then everyone stopped laughing. The declaration was clearly written in the editorial, and this letter
Along with the letter, there was also Green's personal ID and a bloody finger!
This organization called the "Shandong Tigers" took over Weihaiwei's cases, and they were responsible for all of them. Moreover, these people also expressed that they would launch more attacks to drive the British out of Shandong.
This open letter is basically a declaration of war by a group of bandits against an empire. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is definitely an overestimating joke, but for the Chinese people, it is a huge shock.
Because not only Shandong has the problem of Weihaiwei, Guangdong also has concessions in Guangzhou Bay, Hong Kong, Macau, Fujian, Taiwan, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hankou and other places. If a group of bandits in Shandong can stand up and challenge the great powers, then other places
What should the place do? Doesn't it have the bloody spirit to drive away the invaders?
The public sentiment accumulated in an instant broke out like a tide again. There were more and more demonstrations against the great powers in various places. Some people even took the initiative to contact the so-called Shandong Tigers, and they wanted to join them. Some people wanted to donate money and materials, and wanted to support them.
Shandong's martyrs suddenly made China's public opinion agitated again.
…
"Boss, we are famous!"
When Xu Xiaoshan went to Weihaiwei to inquire about the news, he found a newspaper. He barely recognized a few words, and there was the word "Shandong Tiger" on it. This was the name they originally thought of. Xu Xiaoshan's body was filled with excitement when he thought that he could also be in the newspaper.
A little trembling, he brought the newspaper back without hesitation.
Wang Dali glanced at it for a few times, then patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Did you see it? It says that we are righteous men, just like Qin Qiong and Qin Erye back then, we deserve this!" As he said this, Wang Dali also extended his thumb.
, very proud.
"Head of the family, as people say, we have to do something big again, otherwise we won't be worthy of this title!"
"Yes!" Wang Dali nodded: "I'm going to do it again, but Yan Guo left a message. We have prepared the leaflets and told them that if we want Ge Lin's life, we have to pay him one hundred thousand pounds."
…
"Asshole! How dare you blackmail the British Empire. I will make you all pay a heavy price. All these thugs will go to hell!"
Bad news came from Shandong again. A patrol post was attacked by a mortar. Three British soldiers were killed on the spot. Leaflets were also left, scolding the British and asking them to pay for the redemption of Ge.
Lin. And they also said that this will be the rule from now on. Killing or injuring British people will not count. As long as one is kidnapped, one hundred thousand pounds will be used to redeem him. If the money is not paid for one month, the vote will be broken immediately.
The British have stood at the top of the world. They have never encountered such a thing for many years. It is unbelievable that there are such rampant thugs in the world. However, their garrison in Weihaiwei is limited, so they can only put pressure on China and demand that China must
Resolve things as soon as possible.
But Eston also became smarter. He did not go to Zhang Tinglan directly, but first found Wang Kemin, the deputy minister of finance.
"Mr. Wang, the empire is very angry as vicious cases have occurred one after another in your country. There are now two batches of debts totaling 1,365,700 yuan. You must pay them back immediately."
Wang Kemin, a guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, sunken eye sockets, and a look of excessive drinking and debauchery. When he heard what Aston said, he hurriedly smiled: "Mr. Minister, your Excellency has a large number of people, and the government is in trouble. To be honest, I have been confused."
I have deposited my salary for several months.”
"Are you really out of money?" Aston asked with a sneer.
Wang Kemin secretly leaned forward and lowered his voice and said: "If you have money, Zhang Tinglan has already given Tang Shaoyi a special fee of 20 million. However, this money has not been transferred to the Ministry of Finance's account. It is all controlled by Tang Shaoyi, and it is a large amount."
Expenditure must be signed by Zhang Tinglan himself."
Eston sneered and nodded: "Okay, now you and I will go find Zhang Tinglan, and I'll see what else he has to say. If you want to fight the British Empire, you have to pay the price."
Elston arrived at the Vice Presidential Palace in a furious manner. Zhang Tinglan did not see him immediately, but deliberately delayed for half an hour before inviting Elston to his office.
Wang Kemin followed Ayston closely. When he saw Zhang Tinglan, he nodded and bowed hurriedly: "Vice President, I have something important to report to you!"
"Secretary Wang, if you have anything to say, let the minister speak first. After all, I am a guest."
Wang Kemin is not stupid either. Zhang Tinglan is clearly saying that he and Eston are too close, so he has no choice but to shut up.
"Your Excellency, Vice President, I have two things to do here this time. The first is the case in Shandong. The murderers are still committing crimes crazily, but you have not caught them for a long time. The empire has expressed strong protest against this; the second is that a group of
The loan is due, please pay it off immediately!"
Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly when he heard this: "These are two different things. They are clearly one thing. But I will try my best to handle the case. As for the loan, the finances are really tight and I can't get the money!"
When Aston saw Zhang Tinglan's attitude, his face suddenly darkened: "Your Excellency, Vice President, Deputy Minister Wang has already said that you have a fund."
Zhang Tinglan suddenly sneered, and his sharp eyes fell on Wang Kemin.
