Chapter 144: The Storm Is Coming

"Dear, they are all Fenians. The Fenians have been seeking independence from Ireland and the United Kingdom. They said they can ally with us to deal with the British. However, their attitude is very arrogant and they have just stepped into our sphere of influence.

It caused a conflict with us. Besides,…”

After Liu Zhenming handed over the Indians to Jin Xiaowu for arrangement, he went with Ji Li to meet the Fenians.

Ji Li told the general situation along the way, including the story that the Fenians defeated the British Pacific Fleet, occupied the coastal area, and then came to request an alliance.

"Fenians, Irish?" Liu Zhenming didn't do much research on the Fenians, but he had heard about the Irish. After all, in later generations, Northern Ireland had separated from the United Kingdom and established its own country.

History has never heard of the Fenians occupying British Columbia, Canada. It seems that history has changed slightly because of their arrival. According to the situation, these Fenians took advantage of themselves to attract

After taking over most of the armed forces in British Columbia, he seized the opportunity and succeeded in one action.

As Liu Zhenming walked, he thought in his heart: If they really came to seek an alliance, it would be fine. The main reason is that he is too weak now. Although he has a clear understanding of some major events that have happened in history, he does not know much about some small things.

However, he was blinded by the news. For example, the Fenians captured Vancouver. If they hadn't sent an envoy, it would have taken some time for him to find out. If they formed an alliance, let alone other things, it would be intelligence sharing.

, it’s also good for yourself.

However, it is an alliance in the true sense, rather than allowing the Fenians to annex their own power.

After a while, Liu Zhenming and Ji Li and others walked to the place where the Fenians were under house arrest. The reason was that after the patrol team of the Chinese Self-Rescue Army discovered them, they asked them to hand over their weapons, but they did not agree, so a conflict broke out.

Ye Geyin asked people to detain them first and wait for Liu Zhenming to come back to deal with it. During this period, Ji Li had talked with them several times.

There were four soldiers guarding the door of the room. When they saw Liu Zhenming approaching, they immediately raised their hands and saluted.

After returning the gift, Liu Zhenming asked several people to open the door. After hearing the noise, the Fenians in the room came to the door to check.

"Oh, God, we finally got the right person."

"Yes, Sean, if the rightful owner never comes again, we will have to find a way to escape from here."

There were four foreigners in the room. When they saw Liu Zhenming, their faces lit up with joy. As diplomats, they were all very clever. Liu Zhenming walked at the front, Ji Li and others were a few steps behind, and they saw

After looking at Liu Zhenming's image, I was able to recognize the person, which was no surprise.

Liu Zhenming walked into the room unhurriedly, then sat directly on the main seat and asked calmly: "Everyone, I wonder what you are doing when you come to Chinatown?"

Liu Zhenming's attitude made several Fenians unable to figure out what he was thinking. They looked at each other for a few times. The Fenian named Sean stepped forward and said: "Mr. Zhenming Liu!"

"I still like others to call me Mr. Liu Zhenming, not Mr. Zhenming Liu." Liu Zhenming interrupted him.

"Okay, Mr. Liu Zhenming, I believe you have learned our intention from your wife. Just a dozen days ago, the British expeditionary force set out from Africa. Their arrival will be our disaster.

" Sean didn't show politeness to Liu Zhenming and sat directly opposite him.

The British army is coming? Damn, it’s so depressing. It’s so depressing to not be well informed. Nowadays, the more advanced methods of transmitting messages are wireless telegraphy, which has not yet become popular, and wired telegraphy, which even the Qing government has built on a large scale.

It is said that among the four Fenians, there is a telegraph operator who can use the telegraph station in Chinesetown to deliver messages to Vancouver. If an alliance is formed, several people can be sent to learn from him...

Although Liu Zhenming's mind was spinning, his expression remained as usual. He glanced at a few Fenians lightly and said nonchalantly: "Although I don't know how you got the news, the British army, I and them have been there for a long time.

We had a fight, and they came here just to find a cemetery for themselves."

"Don't be so optimistic, Mr. Liu Zhenming. The British troops that are coming are all experienced troops on the Boer battlefield. Moreover, they are coming in large numbers this time. It is said that there are 20,000 to 30,000 people." Sean stared at Liu Zhenming's face.

Eyes, I want to see a hint of fear in them.

However, he was destined to be disappointed, because Liu Zhenming just said softly and stopped expressing any opinions.

I don't know if this yellow man is really not afraid, or if he is a complete idiot. Someone who can lead a group of miners to defeat the Canadian Army and the British Marines should not be an idiot.

Yes, his sphere of influence is inland, and we captured the coast, and we are blocking him in front, so he is very calm, this bastard!

Sean, who thought he had guessed Liu Zhenming's thoughts, became a little anxious. He patted the chair lightly with his hand, frowned and said: "Your Excellency, we have a common enemy, which gives us a basis for cooperation. If we form an alliance to deal with it together,

The British, I believe, will have a better chance of winning."

"How to form an alliance? Tell me what you think." Liu Zhenming tilted his head and glanced sideways at him.

Originally, the members of the Fenian Society planned to conquer the Chinese armed forces after discussion. However, when Sean saw Liu Zhenming's appearance, he estimated that the other party would expel him as soon as he revealed the plan, so he changed his words: "We

Establish a joint combat command and deploy the armies of both sides together to maximize their effectiveness. In addition, if the coastal zone is lost, we will retreat here together."

As soon as Sean finished speaking, a word flashed in Liu Zhenming's mind: occupy the magpie's nest. The Fenians wanted him to help them guard the coast. If the coast was lost, they would get the Chinese city in vain.

There are such good things in the world.

Liu Zhenming's face darkened, his eyes became a little cold, and the temperature in the air seemed to have dropped a few degrees.

"Mr. Sean, it's you who are asking for something from me now, not me who is asking for something from you. I don't see your sincerity, I only see the evil intentions you hide in it. If you were me, would you agree to these conditions?

It seems that there is no need for us to continue talking." Liu Zhenming stood up and prepared to leave.

"Your Excellency, please wait a moment. We have something to say. The British army will be able to cross the Atlantic, bypass South America, and reach the west coast of Canada in about twenty days. If we do not unite, it will only be a loss for both sides.

" Sean said with a sincere look.

"If you really want to form an alliance, first show your sincerity and send all the Chinese on Vancouver Island and the Vancouver area here first. Then, we will discuss how to form an alliance." Liu Zhenming paused, turned his head, and said this

After that, he walked out without stopping.

"Dear, is this the end of the negotiation?" Ji Li asked curiously after following Liu Zhenming out of the door.

Liu Zhenming smiled, shook his head and said: "Of course not. I just gave them time to contact Vancouver. Moreover, the British army is coming. This time there are more than 30,000 people. I have to make arrangements early."

Thirty thousand regular troops, even if every one of them peed, they could turn Chinesetown into a vast ocean.

If Liu Zhenming knew that Sean had said 10,000 more people in order to scare him, I don’t know what he would think in his heart. He probably wouldn’t have any idea, because for the current Chinatown, 20,000 and 30,000 people are really not enough.

The big difference, from anyone's perspective, is that the mantis is trying to overestimate its capabilities.
