Chapter 340 The British Consul's Hostility and Su Zhengyang's Threat
Will, the Consul of the British Concession who represented the British Empire, was the first to snort: "When it comes to confusing right and wrong, always engaging in shameful activities like bandits, Councillor Su should take the lead."
Will spoke Chinese in a clear and fluent voice and directly satirized Su Zhengyang.
The razing of the British Concession in Qingyun City, coupled with the forcible plunder of the Far East Railway Company's shares, made the entire British Empire full of hostility towards Su Zhengyang.
However, Will believed that he was an English noble after all. As the British consul, he represented the face of the entire English Empire. Even if Su Zhengyang was lawless, he could not do anything against him in public in front of so many consuls.
Su Zhengyang smiled, but this smile seemed a bit eerie and scary.
Duan Jinshu looked at Su Zhengyang with a slightly worried look. Based on his understanding of Su Zhengyang's temperament, others might think that Su Zhengyang would not dare to do anything out of line, but in Duan Jinshu's opinion, it was very likely that Su Zhengyang would kill Will on the spot.
In such a situation, if Su Zhengyang took extreme actions, it would be tantamount to pushing Northern Xinjiang to the opposite side of all Western powers.
Fortunately, what Duan Jinshu was worried about did not happen, and Su Zhengyang was not a brainless man.
Su Zhengyang smiled and said, "It seems that Sir Will has a deep misunderstanding of me, but it doesn't matter. The misunderstanding will be resolved one day. We will talk alone later."
"Let's get back to the point. I believe you can all see from the tragedy in the Fuso Concession that we Chinese have a strong sense of national identity and are one of the most united races in the world. Now I can guarantee that your concessions will be safe and sound, but if your media indiscriminately stands on the side of Fuso and once again arouses public anger, I cannot guarantee what serious consequences will result."
Su Zhengyang's words were full of threats, implying that if the mainstream media in your country spoke up for Fuso at the level of international public opinion, based on the precedent of the Fuso Concession, you might very well be the next one.
Su Zhengyang's gaze swept across the faces of the consuls like a knife. None of these consuls, who were usually in high positions, dared to look at Su Zhengyang, and they all lowered their heads subconsciously.
This is the power brought by strength. Everyone present knows that Su Zhengyang is not just talking. This madman really does what he says! Thinking back to the devastated Fusang Concession that has almost been razed to the ground, the consuls present can't help but feel cold in their hearts.
Before they could respond, Su Zhengyang spoke again: "Although China has not yet established a complete regime, with the current strength of the Northern Frontier government, we have long looked down upon the Southern Government and the like. The unification of the north and the south is imperative, and our Northern Frontier has already begun to establish air force and navy forces with the support of the Peace Company. Now that Europe has become a mess, I believe that both the Bird Empire and the Ingrid Empire are in great need of a strong ally who can change the war situation at a critical moment."
As soon as Su Zhengyang finished speaking, the consuls present all showed surprised expressions.
You know, at present, in addition to the Bird Empire, the United States, the England Empire and other world-class military powers that have mature air force systems and considerable air force forces, Fuso, which is currently known as the number one in Asia, has just entered the initial development period of its air force. Su Zhengyang actually said that they are ready to establish air force and naval forces. The key is that given the relationship between Su Zhengyang and the Peace Company, what he said may not be groundless.
Today, the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Revolutionary Army's army is obvious to all. Even the Western powers have to admit that the Northwest Revolutionary Army has already reached world-class military standards. If Su Zhengyang can cultivate a mature air force and naval system, then Northern Frontier's international influence will increase from an insignificant little transparent unit to a giant that can change the course of the war at any time, as Su Zhengyang said.
And now the Allied forces led by England and the Soviet-Russian United Empire are fighting a frantic battle with the invading forces composed of the Byrd Empire and the Roman Empire throughout Eastern Europe. As Su Zhengyang said, at this time, the Northern Frontier, which has been neutral and has not yet stated its position, may be the last weight on the scale.
Thinking of this, Hilde, the consul of the Bird Empire, was the first to speak up and express his goodwill.
“Please rest assured, Senator Su. Although Fuso is also an ally of our Bird Empire, now that the facts are in front of us, our Bird Empire will no longer speak for Fuso. We are a country that respects facts and the truth. Of course, as an ally, we will not express any opinions from the perspective of the Northern Frontier. I hope Senator Su can understand.”
"Our Polish Empire has always had friendly diplomatic relations with the Northern Frontier regime. Senator Su, we will never stand on the side without justice. Our Polish Empire will only speak out for justice!"
Seeing that his boss, the Bird Empire, and his arch-rival, the Polish Empire, had expressed their opinions, Goodwin of the Roman Empire also immediately expressed his position, expressing the attitude that the Roman Empire would never speak for Fuso and would not affect the Northern Frontier in international public opinion.
Soon after, the Soviet Union, the United Empire, the United States and other countries, with the idea that everyone is the one who carries the sedan chair, also agreed to Su Zhengyang's request. In the end, only Will, the Consul of the English Empire, was left, with an uncertain face and still looking very indignant, who had not yet expressed his attitude.
Su Zhengyang knew clearly that his series of actions in the British Concession in Qingyun City had made the entire England extremely hostile to him. What's more, Will was one of the shareholders of the British Chamber of Commerce that was looted at that time. It would be a blessing in disguise for Will to give Su Zhengyang a good face.
Su Zhengyang strode down from the podium, staring at Will with burning eyes, and slowly walked towards him, while slowly placing his right hand on the belt around his waist.
Will was horrified when he saw this scene. Su Zhengyang's nickname "Crazy Su" had long been circulated among the powers and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At this time, Su Zhengyang made a move to draw his gun. How could Will not be afraid that Su Zhengyang would suddenly draw his gun and shoot him.
Thinking of this, Will's legs went weak, cold sweat broke out on his head, and he stumbled to the ground, with the goblet in his hand shattered to pieces.
Su Zhengyang smiled slightly, slowly retracted his right hand from the holster, showed a hint of mockery in his eyes, squatted down, helped Will up, and said humorously with concern: "With Sir Will's alcohol tolerance, how come he is dizzy after just a few drinks?"
Only then did Will realize that he had been fooled by Su Zhengyang. He lost face in public and his demeanor as a British consul was damaged.
Will was furious, with a look of resentment written all over his face. He subconsciously pushed Su Zhengyang away and blurted out, "Bitch, get out of here!"
