Chapter 139: A Joint Announcement from Four Countries? A Tiger-like Roar
Just after the Fuxing Army surrounded the concession, this incident was known to all parties through various channels.
The major powers also knew about this matter.
The five countries of John, Gaul, Italy, Bileg, and Hans all learned about the course of events and the ultimatum from the Restoration Army through their own consulates.
This undoubtedly caused a huge stir among the top leaders of these countries.
The Fuxing Army surrounded the concession without even saying hello and issued an ultimatum...
What does this mean? They don't take these top powers seriously at all.
For the top leaders of these countries, it is not worth mentioning how much the concessions mean to them.
The attitude of the Renaissance Army aroused their anger.
Diplomatic officials from many countries then held telephone conversations on the matter.
Except for Hans, they all reached a consensus.
Unite against the Fuxing Army and put pressure on Jiang Hua.
The Fuxing Army was ordered to withdraw from the concession, and Tianjin was established as a demilitarized zone. At the same time, each soldier who was killed was compensated with at least 100,000 oceans.
Obviously, they did not take the Renaissance Army seriously.
Even if the Fuxing Army wins the Northern Frontier and Fuso, what will it matter?
They don't take Fuso seriously except for the navy.
And in their opinion, Jiang Hua was very similar to a person from decades ago.
This person is the old witch of the Northern Frontier court.
The same arrogance, the same disregard for the great powers.
However, after being taught a lesson by them, they became completely obedient and treated them as guests of honor.
If Jiang Hua is unwilling to accept it, they don't mind sending troops together.
By that time, the conditions will be more than just these, and it will not only involve the Tianjin Concession.
Consulates of various countries in Shanghai successively received instructions from senior domestic officials.
So they went to Taiye Lake together.
However, they did not see Jiang Hua because Jiang Hua did not want to see them.
"What's there to discuss? There's no room for negotiation.
The ultimatum has made it clear. If the deadline is exceeded, then we will do as the ultimatum says.
All personnel will be detained and all property will be confiscated. That’s the reply to them.”
The four consuls were all furious with Jiang Hua's reply.
How arrogant.
These four countries can already represent the entire Western Continent.
As a result, Jiang Hua not only did not meet them, but also made such arrogant remarks.
There is no room for negotiation!
This also means a direct fallout.
There is no room for negotiation, so the only option is fighting.
However, before they left angrily, they handed the four-nation joint announcement to Jiang Hua, which also represented the attitudes of their four countries.
After seeing the joint announcement of the four countries, Jiang Hua almost laughed out of anger.
"These great powers are still as arrogant as ever.
Although war is a continuation of politics, in many cases war is the most effective way to solve problems.
Because only after you hurt them, will they look you in the eye instead of looking down on you with a condescending attitude.
If that's the case, let's add fuel to the fire and have the Air Force organize a fleet of aircraft to go to Tianjin and make a show of force."
This is also a means of deterrence, just like dispatching heavy tanks to the concession.
Then Jiang Hua suddenly realized something and asked Secretary-General Xue Yun in confusion, "What about Hans? Why is there no announcement from Hans here?"
"Well, we've already sent someone to investigate, and we'll report the results to you as soon as we have them."
Xue Yun was also very curious about this. He knew that Jiang Hua was also curious, so the careful Xue Yun sent relevant personnel to investigate from the beginning.
Because this seems a little abnormal.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear!
"Commissioner, the Hans envoy has submitted a document stating that they are willing to follow the ultimatum and withdraw from the concession.
The document also stated that they would gradually give up their concessions in various countries and were willing to conduct normal trade with the Renaissance Army.
After seeing the contents of the document, Jiang Hua was still very surprised.
What does Hans mean by this? When did they become so friendly towards the ancient countries?
Giving up the concession means giving up the interests in the ancient country, which is not a small amount of money.
What is their purpose in doing this?
If they are not driven by greater interests or other purposes, they would not do so on their own initiative.
Moreover, Hans is currently suffering from the impact of the financial crisis, and the domestic situation is in chaos, which can be described as a riot of demons.
Perhaps it is precisely because they are unable to interfere in matters related to the ancient country's concessions that they are willing to give up.
Jiang Hua thought about it and thought that this was probably the only reason.
However, this is indeed a gesture of goodwill towards the Renaissance Army, which is a good thing.
However, Hans's behavior will certainly arouse the anger of the other four countries.
But this is none of Jiang Hua’s business.
Southern Alliance, Jiankang City.
The Wu, Gu and Lu families were all overjoyed after hearing what happened in the Tianjin Concession.
At a meeting, Gu Ziqi even openly mocked Jiang Hua.
"He is indeed a young man with barely grown hair, and he doesn't understand politics at all.
He really thought that he could be invincible by defeating a few Japanese troops and did not take people seriously.
Just wait and see, it won’t be long before these countries make Jiang Hua realize the reality and beat the Renaissance Army back to its original form.”
This is definitely a good thing for the Southern Alliance, and Wu Zhichang, Gu Ziqi and Lu Jianzhang are all very happy about it.
People from all walks of life and the general public are also happy, excited and even encouraged.
However, their happiness is not the same as the happiness of the SAARC top leaders.
They were happy about the attitude of the Renaissance Army towards the great powers.
In this era when foreigners are superior, the actions of the Restoration Army undoubtedly vented the anger of all citizens.
The Fuxing Army is also declaring to the world that foreigners in the ancient country must also abide by the rules of the ancient country.
The era when foreigners were superior to others is over.
But this only applies to the Renaissance Army.
As for the rest of the places, foreigners will continue to behave as they please.
Especially on the Southern Association for Regional Cooperation side, they are still very respectful to foreigners.
After all, SAARC is very dependent on international support.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.
Many people with lofty ideals once believed that the Southern Association for Regional Cooperation was the hope of the ancient country.
However, through the attitude towards the great powers, they saw the inherent weakness of the SAARC in dealing with foreigners.
Therefore, many people changed their attitudes through this incident.
Especially for the students who still have some passion, this news is like a shot of stimulant to them.
On the highway from outside the Great Wall to Tianjin, a number of M26 Dragon tank transporters drove into the urban area of Tianjin at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour.
The M25 Long tank transporter is also the tank trailer with the strongest load-bearing capacity in the current Renaissance Army.
这玩意由M26型6x6牵引车和M15平板半挂车组成，有一台马力达到了240匹的大功率汽油发动机。
Its standard load capacity can reach 36 tons, which is exactly the weight of an M4 Sherman tank.
But its actual load-bearing capacity exceeded 100 tons, so it was also called the 100-ton king of World War II.
Therefore, this tank transporter also became the heavy tank transport vehicle of the Renaissance Army.
When the heavy tank brigade needs to carry out medium- and long-distance maneuvers, these tank trailers will transport them to the destination for assembly.
Otherwise, after driving for hundreds of kilometers.
It would be good if ten of the more than one hundred tanks in the three heavy tank battalions of the entire tank brigade could arrive at the destination on time.
Not to mention now, even in the modern times of the original time and space, long-distance tank mobility basically relies on trains or tank transport vehicles.
After all, long-range tank maneuvers cause too much wear and tear on parts, and the cost of use is very high.
The next morning, a thin mist shrouded the city of Tianjin.
The confrontation in various passages of the concession continues.
Beihe Street is one of the main passages leading to John's Concession, and it is also the key area of confrontation.
There is an entire infantry regiment stationed in the vast John Concession.
Among them was John's infantry battalion, and the remaining two infantry battalions were composed of Indian soldiers, with a total number of more than 2,000 people.
It was this John Infantry Battalion that was deployed on Beihe Street.
On the street, sandbags blocked the entire street.
Light and heavy machine guns were deployed at the firing points of these sandbag fortifications.
Heads popped out from behind the sandbag fortifications.
Wilson, the commander of the infantry battalion, also personally sat at the front line, sticking his head out and looking straight at the wheeled infantry fighting vehicles of the Renaissance Army that were vaguely visible in the distance.
At this moment, Battalion Commander Wilson suddenly discovered that the Renaissance Army had made new moves.
I saw the wheeled infantry fighting vehicles lined up in a row began to reverse and retreated directly to the side of the street, as if to make way.
Battalion Commander Wilson became a little nervous upon seeing this, and immediately shouted, "The Renaissance Army is about to attack, everyone prepare for battle."
As the order was conveyed, the sound of gun bolts being pulled was heard, and all the soldiers focused their attention on the Renaissance Army about one or two hundred meters away.
However, the mist blocked their vision, making it difficult for them to see clearly.
"Boom boom boom..."
At this time, the roar of an engine faintly reached their ears, and everyone looked forward nervously.
A huge figure came into their sight at this moment.
I saw a huge heavy tank rushing out of the mist.
It rushed towards them like a giant steel beast, with its fangs bared.
After seeing the silhouette of this steel giant clearly, the eyes of Officer John and his soldiers were filled with shock and fear.
This tank is the famous Tiger heavy tank.
The huge body and the 88mm caliber tank gun give people a huge sense of oppression.
And this time there was not just one Tiger tank, but a whole tank company of 14 Tiger tanks.
The tracks of the huge Tiger heavy tank kept crawling forward, leaving deep ruts on the concrete ground.
Then it stopped less than 30 meters away from the sandbag fortifications of John's Infantry Battalion.
The 88mm tank gun was aimed directly at them.
One Tiger tank after another drove in, blocking the road completely.
After seeing so many heavy tanks, Wilson, the battalion commander, seemed to feel a trembling in his soul, and cold sweat kept oozing from his forehead.
The eyes of many of John's soldiers were filled with fear.
The oppressive feeling from the King of Land came towards him like a mountain pressing down on his head.
They also seemed to feel the roar from the Tiger tank.
