Chapter 616 Su Zhengyang's Methods
"Are you done?" Su Zhengyang's voice echoed in the banquet hall, a smile appeared on his lips, and an elusive light flashed in his eyes. His eyes swept across the faces of the ambassadors present one by one, as if he was appreciating a carefully prepared drama.
He turned his head slightly and nodded to Fu Jiang beside him, signaling him to continue. Fu Jiang understood, immediately stepped forward, straightened his body, and began to introduce the situation of the major concessions in detail.
"Dear ambassadors, please allow me to give you a detailed introduction to the actions taken by the Chinese army in the major concessions today." Fu Jiang's voice was clear and powerful, and every word was powerful.
"First, it was the British Concession. During the operation, our troops cleared out the illegal armed forces hiding in the Jules Company. After a fierce battle, we successfully eliminated these armed elements and sealed and confiscated the property in the company. We found that Jules Company had been engaged in illegal activities such as smuggling and trafficking in opium for a long time, posing a great threat to the social security of Jinggang City and the entire China. We forcefully arrested Eric Wallace, the son of Sir Wallace who committed numerous bloody crimes, and during the arrest, Sir Wallace was unfortunately killed by a stray bullet because he insisted on stopping our actions."
After Fu Jiang described in detail the cleanup operation of Jules Company in the British Concession, the banquet hall was silent, as if even the air had frozen. Especially the British Consul Charles, his face turned pale as paper in an instant, his hands trembled slightly, and he could hardly believe his ears.
Jules Trading Company, the second largest trading company of the British Empire in China, is a symbol of their country's economic interests in China. Now, this trading company has been bloodbathed by the Chinese army, and its property has been seized. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the influence of the British Empire in China and even in the world.
What Charles could not accept was the news of Sir Wallace's death. Sir Wallace was not only the behind-the-scenes controller of Jules & Co., but also a top noble with great prestige and influence in England. His death would undoubtedly cause shock and anger throughout the British Empire.
Charles' eyes widened, filled with shock, anger and disbelief. He stood up angrily, pointed at Fu Jiang, and shouted in a trembling voice: "How could you...how could you do such a thing? This is a provocation to the British Empire! It's an insult to our country!"
His words echoed in the banquet hall, attracting the attention of other ambassadors. However, at this moment, most of them remained silent, unwilling to get involved at this sensitive moment.
Charles was breathing rapidly, and he tried to calm himself down, but the anger in his heart was erupting like a volcano. He knew that this incident would cause a strong reaction from the British government and might even trigger a diplomatic crisis between the two countries.
He turned to Su Zhengyang, trying to find a sign of compromise on the face of the Chinese president. However, Su Zhengyang just glanced at him indifferently, as if he was blind to his anger.
Charles felt powerless, he knew that this incident was irreversible. He had to pass the news back to the country as soon as possible so that the government could take appropriate measures to deal with this crisis.
"Next is the Russian Concession. When our troops entered the Russian Concession to arrest Ivan, who committed several murders, they encountered fierce resistance from the police and military security forces in the concession. After friendly negotiations, our troops had to take tough measures, which led to a conflict. In this incident, the consulate in the Russian Concession was razed to the ground, a total of five buildings on Silin Street were destroyed, and 42 civilians were killed or injured. I want to say sorry to the Russian Empire, because your consulate was directly blown into ruins by our heavy artillery."
Fu Jiang's eyes were deep, and there was even a hint of sarcasm and provocation on his face. There was no sign of apology at all.
After Fu Jiang described the conflict in the Russian Concession in detail, the anger of the Russian Ambassador Nicholas erupted like a volcano. His face turned from pale to red, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and angry flames spewed out of his eyes. He stood up suddenly, and his tall body cast an angry shadow in the banquet hall.
"You! How could you do such a cruel thing!" Nicholas roared with a trembling voice, his voice echoing throughout the banquet hall, making people shudder. He clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to pour out all the uncontrollable anger.
"This is a blatant provocation to our Russian Empire! It is a great insult to our people!" He continued to roar, his voice full of grief and anger. He pointed at Fu Jiang angrily, as if he wanted to pierce him with his sharp fingertips.
"Ivan Sergeyevich Alexandrov, who you call the 'culprit of several murders', is actually an innocent citizen of our Tsarist Russian Empire. He was framed by your Chinese army without any reason!" Nicholas' anger had reached its peak, and he loudly defended the wrongly accused Russian.
"He is an ordinary businessman and has never committed any crime! On what basis did your Chinese army break into our concession, arrest him, and cause such a brutal conflict?" Nicholas' voice was full of anger and confusion.
He clenched his teeth, the muscles on his face twisted and deformed with anger, and he waved his arms vigorously, as if he wanted to vent all his anger.
Finally, Nicholas took a deep breath and tried to calm his anger. But when he looked at Fu Jiang again, his eyes full of anger were still chilling.
Nicolas Cage straightened his chest angrily, his face flushed with anger, his eyes flashing with unyielding light. He clenched his fists and said in a trembling but firm voice: "Tsarist Russia is a fighting nation that will never compromise easily! We have an indomitable spirit and extremely powerful military force. Mr. Su Zhengyang, the actions of your Chinese army have seriously touched our bottom line. This is clearly a deliberate attempt to provoke a war!"
His words were full of strong national pride and accusations against Su Zhengyang.
Su Zhengyang sat quietly in his seat, his eyes calm and deep. Su Zhengyang said slowly with a serious expression on his face: "Ambassador Nicholas, I understand your anger and dissatisfaction. But please allow me to remind you that you, Tsarist Russia, are now facing strong pressure from the allied forces led by the Bird Empire. The war is spreading throughout Europe. Do you still have the energy to go to war with China?"
Although Su Zhengyang's voice was calm, every word was full of weight. His words were like a sharp sword, piercing directly into Nicholas' heart.
Nicholas' face froze when he heard this, and a trace of shock and uneasiness flashed in his eyes. He obviously didn't expect Su Zhengyang to point out the current predicament of Tsarist Russia so directly. He was silent for a moment, and then spoke again: "But you Chinese can't be so arrogant and unreasonable! We Tsarist Russia will never let you bully us!"
Su Zhengyang smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with wisdom and calmness: "We Chinese have never thought of making enemies with anyone. We are just safeguarding our national interests and dignity. If you, Tsarist Russia, are willing to coexist peacefully with us and exchange concessions, we are certainly willing to establish friendly diplomatic relations with you."
