Chapter 592 You will go to the military court!
Seeing Major Clive's expression, Brigadier General Jeff frowned with dissatisfaction: "What? My Major Clive, who has been in the prisoner-of-war camp in the East for two and a half years, can't you learn their language? Didn't you communicate well with him just now?
"General, if I tell this soldier of the Chinese Empire according to your instructions, the consequences will be difficult to predict, which will hit the British Empire's newly acquired Eastern colonial plan again." Major Clive took a deep breath and decided to say what he thought.
Hearing this, Brigadier General Jeff raised his two caterpillar-like gray eyebrows. Dear Major Clive, your words seem to be very imperial-oriented, but please remember that our British Empire and European civilization are the strongest in this world. Did you lose the pride of the British emperor [***] two and a half years ago after you were captured by those despicable yellow ghosts? Is it?!"
"Mr. General, I don't think Major Clive has lost his pride as a British [***] man. He is called self-aware." At this time, Ruan Youjiang, who was contemptuously called a yellow ghost by Brigadier General Jeff, looked at the fat British brigadier general with a smile and said these words that stunned the Brigadier General Jeff in standard and fluent English.
" By the way, I also forgot to add your title before your name: General White Ghost. Look, in the communication between the two of us, I used a lot of polite language. And you, the general from the Western civilized world, don't even know how to use the simple respectful name 'you', which really makes me doubt where your civilization is? Ruan Youjiang's vicious words made the white skin of the British people present like a layer of red paint, especially the Brigadier General Jeff.
The supreme commander of the Anglo-Arab coalition, Brigadier General Jeff, who has won countless honors and merits in the war to encircle and suppress Indian tribes in Upper Canada. Churchman's anger.
"How dare you talk to me like this?! Damn, I'm going to make you pay the price." Brigadier General Jeff, who was so angry, roared angrily. He reached for the guard's flous-haired gun and tried to fire, but was stopped by several other officers.
"General, he is the representative of the Chinese Emperor [***] team to negotiate. You can't kill him."
"Mr. General, please calm down. Now is not the time to be angry. Maybe he provoked you out of some kind of conspiracy." Under the persuasion of those British [***] officials, Brigadier General Jeff gasped and threw the flick-haired short gun back to the guard. His eyes, which were squeezed into thin cracks by fat, were full of cold light, staring at the Orientals who looked at him fearlessly and fearlessly.
--------------------
Looking at the straight body of the Chinese emperor [***] when he left, and the contemptuous and contemptuous smile, Brigadier General Jeff felt that his heart was about to explode.
"General, we have been scouted. The other party has occupied the Mengli Pass and has arranged positions there. Because the other party is very vigilant, we can only observe from a distance. The number of their troops is unknown, but at least we can be sure that there should be hundreds of people. As for how many troops there are behind the mountain pass, we can't know. Soon, the return of the scouts restored Brigadier General Jeff's senses.
But the next thing made him even more angry, because almost all British [***] officials have reservations about launching an attack on the Chinese Emperor [***] team in Mengli Pass. These officers are all intermediate officers who can know the content of the Jiading Treaty signed between China and Britain.
"You are defying the military order of your superiors. You will go to the military court!" Looking at the attitude of these officers who dared to disobey their military orders, Brigadier General Jeff was about to go crazy. You are simply a bunch of coies. Have those two and a half years of prisoner-of-war life tortured your courage and courage? Don't you want those damn yellow ghosts to repay you for the unfair treatment you have received?!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. General, please pay attention to your tone. We don't think we are timid or cowardly. The reason why we disobey your orders is that we don't want to have a positive conflict with the army of that empire and destroy the good situation that President Edmund has finally created. Noodles. The messenger sent by Mr. Edmund happened to give me a power of attorney. If, of course, it is just to say that if you insist on violating the Jiading Treaty and have a direct conflict with the army of the Chinese Empire, then we can not obey your orders. Mr. Mr. Edmund will personally report to the members of Congress, or even the head of Parliament. Your Excellency explained. Colonel Conn, the highest rank among the officers who had been imprisoned in the East as prisoners of war for more than two years, stood up and explained neither humble nor arrogantly.
"Viscount Edmund?" Hearing this, Brigadier Jeff couldn't help but be stunned. He watched Colonel Conn in front of him take out a folded document from his arms and handed it over. He subconsciously opened it. After seeing the contents of the power of attorney, Brigadier General Jeff's face became so blue.
The content of the letter is indeed the same as Colonel Conn said. If Brigadier General Jeff went to war against the Chinese Emperor [***] without authorization despite the restrictions of the treaty, then these colonial officers could not obey his military orders.
" Edmund, you idiot, you scumbag!" Brigadier General Jeff felt that he had left such a power of attorney, which was clearly a means to humiliate himself. He didn't know that it was precisely because of his arrogance and contempt for the Eastern forces after he came to the East, which made Edmund have to defend the rights and interests of the British East India Company in the East out of security after persuasion.
The reason why Colonel Kang En only took it out until now was originally a fluke mentality, hoping to occupy more territory, but now, Mengli Mountain Pass is obviously stationed with the army of the Chinese Empire. If you want to attack the east city of Qiaobo, you must pass through this mountain pass, so there is bound to be a fierce conflict. It's what they want to see. They know very well what kind of person the Eastern head of state is. They know that if it really angers that guy, it is likely to throw away the current good situation and make the British Empire lose its last colony in the East, and even their security will be in danger. Although on the surface, they do not agree with Brigadier General Jeff's attitude towards them, they have to admit that they are indeed deeply afraid of that empire.
"Are you sure you don't want to obey the orders of me, Brigadier General of the Imperial British Army?" Brigadier General Jeff took a deep breath and maintained the reserve and pride of an old colonial imperial general.
"Yes, Mr. General, we apologize." Colonel Conn twisted his neck and replied uncomfortably. Around him, the British officials were silent, but Jeff knew very well that these cowards were clearly on the side of Colonel Conn.
--------------------
"In that case, Harry, go and invite General Cha Supeng over." Brigadier General Jeff glanced at his compatriots contemptuously and ordered his bodyguard.
Soon, under the doubtful gaze of those British officials, the supreme commander of King Arakan's [[***] team stood in front of Brigadier General Jeff, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and respectfully saluted, "Dear General, what can I do for you?" The kingdom of Arakan is close to the sea and began to deal with those Western colonists more than a hundred years ago, and the general of the kingdom of Arakan, Chasubon, was proficient in French and Portuguese and was sent to cooperate with Brigadier General Jeff, the British general. Now, he greets the English [***] official in fluent French.
Brigadier General Jeff lowered his voice and began to communicate with the commander of the Arakan Kingdom. After only a few words, Colonel Conn recovered from his doubts. Your Excellency, you can't do this."
"Colose, does Mr. Edmund have the authority to interfere with my command in the authorization given to you? I think if I didn't read it wrong just now, it should not be, right? Brigadier General Jeff turned his face and sneered. Dear colonel, please don't forget your rank.
"What should I do?" Major Clive whispered anxiously. Everyone's eyes fell on Colonel Conn's face.
Colonel Conn frowned and thought for a long time. Finally, he could only smile bitterly and said, "I have no way. The only thing worth celebrating is that we have at least avoided a frontal conflict with the Chinese Emperor [***] team. Those soldiers who are only the Kingdom of Arakan have nothing to do with the army of our British Empire. Yes."
"Well, it's also good for our dear Brigadier General Jeff to suffer. It's better to let the army of Arakan suffer more, so that we don't always think that we are all cowards without courage." Next to him, an officer was gloating. His words also spoke the voices of most of the officers present.
Twenty minutes later, General Cha Supeng readily assembled an army of about 1,000 people and began to attack the Mengli Pass. The soldiers of the Arakan Kingdom obviously did not pay attention to the Chinese emperor [***] who guarded the mountain pass. Perhaps, in their hearts, this army should not be much different from the Burmese troops they had met before. They didn't even arrange their teams neatly and began to wave their hands. The big knife and spear began the first charge.
Just as they shouted excitedly and rushed out of the jungle to the mountain pass with only low weeds and sparse shrubs, the bright and rhythmic gunfire began to resound through the whole mountain pass, even the whole dense forest...
