Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 390 Huge Compensation for the Death of Zart Dupont

"Director Yan, you can now tell us the conditions proposed by President Su."

Frank looked at Yan Shuangying cautiously and spoke.

Yan Shuangying put down the crystal wine glass in his hand and secretly sighed that these foreigners really know how to enjoy themselves. In this small office, there is a wine cabinet and a cigar cabinet. The sofa is also large and soft, and can be laid flat like a bed when necessary. It is unknown what it is used for.

"First, the French and Rollman firms must immediately agree to and implement the conditions President Su proposed during the talks. Second, Zart and Dupont are plotting to kidnap President Su's family and use this to threaten the president. For this matter, the two major firms must provide sufficient compensation, 300 million dollars in cash each, and there is no room for bargaining. Third, these two bastards have touched the bottom line of our President Su. President Su has ordered that they must be sent to see God. You should notify your country as soon as possible and let the two major firms send new leaders as soon as possible."

Frank and Reed looked at each other, and both saw a hint of deep-seated anger in each other's eyes.

There is no doubt that Su Zhengyang's three conditions are more unacceptable than the other. Originally, DuPont and Zart took the risk because they were dissatisfied with the conditions proposed by Su Zhengyang. Now, not only do they have to accept the conditions proposed by Su Zhengyang without any objection, but they also have to pay huge compensation, and even DuPont and Zart's lives may not be saved.

Frank's lips moved, and he was about to bargain, but Yan Shuangying seemed to see through his thoughts. He stretched out his right index finger and shook it, saying, "Don't try to plead with me or negotiate terms. The president is furious now, and the Revitalization Division will enter Jinggang City at any time to take military measures against the two concessions. If you dare to refuse openly, I believe that the Revitalization Division will turn your concessions into a wasteland within two days. The losses caused by then will be much more serious than the current conditions."

Frank and Reed clenched their fists and felt for the first time a huge pressure like a mountain. They had always used military measures as an excuse to put pressure on China, but now their identities had completely reversed.

"I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to communicate with the country via telegram. Director Yan, please give me a day. I will definitely give a positive answer."

Yan Shuangying nodded and said, "The Zhenxing Division's troops will enter Jinggang City and directly enter the concession, blocking the entrance of your consulate. If the results you give cannot satisfy our president, we will start a war immediately! There will be no delay!"

After Yan Shuangying finished speaking, he left Frank's office, leaving Frank and Consul Reed with gloomy expressions.

"Mr. Frank, how are you going to deal with this matter?"

"What else can we do? We can only report this to the country and see what their attitude is. This damn idea must have come from Zart! This Zart is simply a disaster!"

"No, no, no! No matter what, DuPont is involved. Neither of our two families can escape Su Zhengyang's accountability. Let's think of a way to resolve it."

"Su Zhengyang is a madman who sticks to his word. If the people in China don't agree to his terms, we two should be prepared to sacrifice our lives for the country. He said he would wipe out the entire concession, and he would definitely do it."

Frank's words made Reed feel as if he was falling into an ice cave. Five minutes later, Reed left quickly and began to contact people back home. Frank did not dare to delay at all and reported the situation in Jinggang City truthfully.

Just as the two were anxiously waiting for a response from home, the troops of the Zhenxing Division had already entered Jinggang City extremely violently. Two armored regiments directly blocked the gates of the French and Austro-Hungarian consulates with a torrent of steel. Looking at the fully armed, murderous and cold-eyed soldiers on the streets outside, the guards in the consulate were as if facing a great enemy. They all had solemn faces, trembling all over, and sweating profusely.

Two King Tiger tanks, like steel behemoths, were blocking the door of the French Concession Gendarmerie Headquarters. At the same time, the situation faced by the Austro-Hungarian Concession Gendarmerie was not much better.

Su Zhengyang is using the strong military strength of his troops to tell the two major powers that if they do not follow his conditions, from today on, he will destroy everything they have in China.

However, with their current strength, it is impossible for them to pose any threat to the Northern Xinjiang government.

This is the confidence that comes with strength. In the past, this scene would have been impossible for any political power in China. Instead, the foreigners used their own armies and military strength to constantly threaten and force the Shuiqing Empire to make concessions.

Strictly speaking, Su Zhengyang did not violate the treaty, but the heads of your two major chambers of commerce are trying to use despicable means to threaten Su Zhengyang and even kidnap Su Zhengyang's relatives. If Su Zhengyang does not get angry, wouldn't he seem too temperless? Everything is so reasonable. Now the Northern Xinjiang government is the party that holds absolute initiative.

Eight hours later, Frank finally received a positive response from home. The content of the telegram was that the interests of the French Empire in China must be guaranteed at all costs, and the lives and property of French concession merchants and expatriates must be protected. If necessary, certain sacrifices can be made.

Frank read the contents of the telegram nervously and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This telegram also means that the nobleman Dupont has been completely abandoned, and the French Empire will grit its teeth and accept the series of conditions proposed by Su Zhengyang. After all, the knife is now hanging over their necks. The attitude shown by Su Zhengyang is that there is absolutely no room for negotiation or easing. If you dare to refuse, I will take action directly.

Just as Frank was about to call Su Zhengyang, Yan Shuangying suddenly pushed the door open again, looked at Frank with deep eyes and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Frank. The top leaders of your country have made a wise decision, which has enabled the entire French Empire to maintain friendly diplomatic relations with our Northern Frontier and ensured the safety of the entire French Concession."

On the other hand, Consul Reed of the Austro-Hungarian Empire encountered unprecedented troubles. The Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire said that he could accept Su Zhengyang's other conditions, but Zart was a member of the royal family after all, and he must ask Su Zhengyang to guarantee his life safety, otherwise the majesty of the royal family would be gone.

In fact, with the current monitoring methods of the CIA, Yan Shuangying received detailed information about the communication telegrams between the two consuls and their hometowns even earlier than them. After thinking it over again and again, Reed bit the bullet and called Su Zhengyang.

"Hello, hello, I'm Reed, the consul of the Austro-Hungarian Concession, I'm looking for President Su Zhengyang."

Fu Jiang's cold voice came from the other end of the phone: "No need. Our president said that in an hour, military action will be taken against the entire Austro-Hungarian Concession. Consul Reed should think carefully about how to save his life."
