The exposure of the Calais was really impossible. It was a treasure ship given to Emperor Tongzhi as a gift. Emperor Tongzhi relied on selling the interests of the Qing Empire and his mentor Xiao Letian, thus earning generous rewards from Napoleon III.

No one knows the specific conditions of the secret agreement between the Emperor of Dharma and Emperor Tongzhi, and no one knows how much money Napoleon III secretly supported Emperor Tongzhi, but the amount of Chinese cultural relics returned was as large as a ship, so the total amount was imaginable!

The Calais has an important mission, and none of the more than 50 people on the ship dares to neglect, but fate is really sad. Just when the Calais is about to arrive in the waters of Cyprus, bad news from France came!

The Emperor was captured by the defeat of Sedan, and the National Assembly declared the collapse of the empire and established a temporary defense government to continue fighting the Prussians.

It's embarrassing now! The Calais received the secret order from the French Emperor. Now that the French Emperor has fallen, what is the Calais?

Is this ship and the treasures on the ship considered the Second French Empire? Or is it the newly established republic?

It seems that it is difficult to define the property rights. Do you think it belongs to the Second Empire? But now the empire is gone, it has disappeared from the world, and the emperor has become a prisoner!

You say it belongs to the New Republic? But the New Republic has no idea that there is such a treasure ship!

More importantly, the treasures and hull themselves on this ship are all the private property of the emperor of the Second Empire. They were captured by the emperor's private army and then stolen by the emperor's private army. They also hid in the private warehouse of the palace when they turned back!

According to the recognized rights of inheritance in Europe, the first heir to these properties should also be the Bonaparte family!

The captain and crew were not republicans. On the contrary, they were both royalists who were close to the emperor, otherwise they would not have received such a task!

After a simple discussion, these royalists made a decision together that they would continue to complete the mission of the Emperor and execute the orders to the end!

The Calais was originally a royal merchant ship carrying out secret missions. They carried many identity documents from different countries with the ship, including official identities from the Netherlands and official procedures from the UK.

Don’t think that these documents are fake. On the contrary, these documents are all real. They are legal documents issued by countries such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, etc.

The crowd finally decided to choose the British identity with the strongest background to disguise. They camouflaged the Calais in the waters south of Cyprus, renamed the British merchant ship Ray, and flew the British flag to disguise all the previous Calais marks with paint.

This kind of work took two days. After everything was ready, the Ray began to head south and head straight for Port Said!

Fortunately, the Calais made the right choice, but fortunately they disguised themselves as British identity. When they arrived at Port Said, they realized that this place had been in full swing!

The empire collapsed and the Republic was established, and France was still in a state of war. The provisional defense government was only established for more than ten days, and all their energy was devoted to the domestic war.

The new government only issued a brief statement to the French colonies around the world, requiring all colonial garrisons to accept the leadership of the new government!

There was no following after that, no personnel arrangements, no military transfer, no material supplies... People don't even know where to get the salary next month!

The entire French colonies were in chaos, and the governors and military chiefs from all over the country could only face this chaotic period without domestic command!

The Suez Canal was originally built by the French sole proprietorship, but later it became a joint investment by the two countries due to pressure from Britain, with France first and the British second, while the Egyptian province of the Ottoman Empire only occupied a small number of shares.

Now that there is chaos in France, these French corps and civil servant systems stationed in the canal are suddenly panicked. They cannot get the latest orders in the country or the funds are supplemented.

But the soldiers always have to eat, drink and pay, so they had no choice but to dismantle them from the canal company!

But the canal company has no cash at the moment. Xiao Letian extorted a large amount of money when he was passing by, and then the angry emperor no longer allowed the canal company to leave too much cash!

Moreover, the British took advantage of the time when the empire fell and began to rob. They violated the previous agreement and began to continuously increase troops to both sides of the canal, and even sent troops to control the canal company in the name of security.

You French soldiers want to rob money? Sorry, this money is shared by three parties and no one can rob it!

When the situation was tense, the soldiers on both sides were tense, and even pulled the bolts to load live ammunition to confront each other!

Finally, after mediation by the local tribal elders, the two sides reached an agreement that the French Corps would not attack the canal company, but in a special period, the British had to guarantee the supply of the French Corps!

The man is short-speaking and the man is short-speaking! This is not wrong at all. Britain tied up the tens of thousands of French troops stationed in the canal through logistics supply lines!

Then the British began to make trouble for the management of the canal. Although the second shareholder of the shares began to attack strongly in daily administration, they arranged their confidants to interfere in the daily decisions of the French management.

The canal company suddenly became chaotic and the management of ships was even more inefficient!

The British management, who took advantage of the situation, began to bully French ships without the protection of the motherland. Anyway, your empire has collapsed, and the provisional government is trapped in Paris, and no one can save you!

Even the French army stationed in the canal has to rely on our British supplies... So are you still thinking about it?

Extortion, conspiracy and frame-up, making a fuss out of nothing... French merchant ships were detained for various smuggling charges, arrested people, fines, and countless goods were confiscated...

Such unfair treatment caused countless French ships to temporarily divert the route. They would rather take a long way to the Cape of Good Hope than be angry.

Because of this, the number of French ships in the canal has dropped by two-thirds compared to usual!

When the Calais saw this scene in front of him, all the crew could only cry secretly. At that moment, they knew what the powerful country represented!

"Your Majesty! Come back quickly... Only the empire can protect our interests, and only the emperor can protect our people!"

The poor Calais lined up with the British flag to enter the canal, but unexpectedly, disaster fell from the sky, and another French cargo ship was driven out of the Port of Said for some reason.

This extremely angry French merchant ship had nowhere to vent the evil fire, but actually took an opportunity to create an accident and directly hit the Calais!

"Damn British bastards...the robbers who took advantage of the situation...to kill you!"
Chapter completed!
