Although Farouk was very resistant, for the sake of his kingdom's rule, he finally accepted Bai Liusu's conditions - to transfer 51% of the shares of the Suez Canal Company.
Happy - yes, because at this time the Suez Canal Company was still in the hands of the British and French (the French plutocrats held a certain proportion of shares in it). In other words, the conditions proposed by China not only did not harm Farouk's interests
It will also increase his income.
Farouk is not stupid, so he will naturally accept this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing. As for national sovereignty, these are obviously not worth mentioning in front of his throne as king.
In Damietta, in a house about three kilometers away from the port, Gao Yuanshan stood at the door holding a Yun-46 submachine gun, looking out nervously.
In Egypt, the ruling foundation of the Farouk dynasty is very weak. This is not only reflected in Farouk's almost zero appeal to the people, but also in the fact that Farouk is almost unable to command any other troops except the king's personal soldiers.
The army. And if the "Free Officers Organization" was not only part of Egypt's many armed forces and could not affect the armies of other factions, Farouk should have been ousted long ago.
The more economically developed cities in Egypt are concentrated in the Nile River Basin. Among them, Damietta is the most important port city in Egypt, so its wealth is one of the best in Egypt. Ordinarily, for such an important and wealthy city, Faruk
No matter what, he must be firmly in his hands. The fact is that apart from making the main officials he personally appointed absolutely obey him, he has almost zero influence on other people and even the local garrison and police forces. For China
When the people wanted to set up an office in Damietta as a material turnover center, Farouk gave a lot of support, including removing about a company of troops from his own Guards to provide protection for the working group.
Gao Yuanshan and others knew that Egypt was in chaos when they participated in the training camp in Karachi, but when they came to Egypt, they were still frightened by the chaos and disorder in the country. China has also been in chaos, but no matter when, it has never lost
They passed the basic order. This was not the case in Egypt. They were ordered to drive all the way from Cairo to Damietta. Almost everywhere they went, they could see "illegal armed personnel (the official language of Egypt accompanying them)". And if they were not followed by
If there were more than a hundred heavily armed Egyptian soldiers, Gao Yuanshan was certain that they would have been killed by cold shots long ago.
Before leaving Cairo, Gao Yuanshan was deeply grateful to King Farouk for providing them with a company of escorts. However, he was only halfway through the journey and his gratitude was gone. If not for the fear of embarrassment, he would have returned immediately.
impulse.
The riot occurred early this morning. When intensive gunfire exploded around their residence, Gao Yuanshan did not know what was happening at first. Then, when he was informed by the accompanying Egyptian officials that a rebellion had occurred, fierce exchanges of fire were taking place.
Both sides refused to obey the rule of the kingdom. He felt incredible at first, and then became extremely angry. After the accompanying Egyptian officials told him this, they did not even say hello, and went directly to him surrounded by more than a hundred guardsmen.
Fleeing outside the city was tantamount to abandoning them in this emerging battlefield.
There are only a dozen people in the working group, including three women. Gao Yuanshan does not think they have the ability to resist the large-scale Egyptian regular army.
Fortunately, perhaps because of the fierce fighting, this small group of foreigners did not attract the attention of both warring parties. It had been more than six hours since the rebellion broke out, and no one had yet attacked them.
Behind Gaoyuan Mountain, everyone, including the three women, were fully armed, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. When they were receiving training in Karachi, even though they were technicians, they were also required to learn how to use weapons. At that time
, those girls who have just graduated from some colleges and universities are still relatively excited, cheering that they can touch a gun and shoot live ammunition for the first time. Now, facing a real war scene, Rao is Zhang who has the best psychological quality among them.
Yan, her face was pale and she was breathing heavily.
War is not a game, people will die. Regardless of their identity or family background, they are all equally vulnerable to bullets.
Several times, heavily armed soldiers ran past the door. On one occasion, a soldier had his head blown off at the door. There is no doubt that this increased the psychological burden on the members of the working group, including Gao Yuanshan.
Their hearts were in their throats, not knowing when the rebels would discover them and attack them.
As the leader of the working group, even though he was extremely nervous, Gao Yuanshan still performed his duties diligently and stood at the front of everyone with weapons in hand.
"Commander Bai has sent out a response force. Comrades, you must hold on!"
The members of the working group have one thing in common, that is, they all have the status of members of the Chinese National Unity Party. It is precisely because of this identity that they came to Damietta before the arrival of the large army. But now, the launch of this operation
Gao Yuanshan was already regretting his recklessness.
"Only when you are protected by your own country's military can you feel safe! I hope the response troops can arrive soon -" With these words in mind, Gao Yuanshan steeled himself and continued to monitor the movements outside.
The sound of gunfire was gradually becoming sparse, which meant that the battle had concluded. What Gao Yuanshan didn't know was that the crisis was approaching them step by step.
The British's support for the "Free Officers Organization" was conditional, that is, the "Free Officers Organization" must join the anti-China alliance. And it was Nasser who presided over the Damietta rebellion.
Nasser had long noticed the existence of Gao Yuanshan and the others, but because arresting the Chinese was obviously more important than occupying the city, he did not immediately send troops to attack the temporary residence of the working group.
What is coming will always come. After completely defeating another armed force in Damietta and driving them out of the city, Nasser personally ordered a major named Hussein to lead a battalion to arrest the Chinese.
task.
"... Hussein, try to capture them alive. China is not something we can offend now. With prisoners, we can force the Chinese to sit at the negotiating table!" When the aircraft carrier fleet of the Wu Dao Tian Wang passed through the Suez Canal
, Nasser hid on the shore and peeped. If his impression of China before was limited to hearsay, because of this peeping, he had a certain understanding of China's strength. So on the issue of Gao Yuanshan and the others,
