Chapter 414 Overbearing

Port Suez.☆→☆→,

"It's blocked? Are you doing it wrong? How can we get over if you blocked the canal?"

In the office of the port official, Han Ping, a businessman from the Ming Dynasty, shouted in dissatisfaction that his 50,000-ton container ship was anchored at the entrance of the canal outside. At this time, container freight had become the mainstream of transportation between Europe and the Ming Dynasty, and it gradually replaced the traditional cargo mode on routes in the Americas.

"Mr. Han, we are suffering from invasion. In order to resist the invasion of the enemy, we must do so."

The port official explained with a gloomy face.

At this time, the war had been going on for several days. The Canaan army drove straight into the Sinai Peninsula. The 22nd Paratrooper Brigade led by Sharon on the southern front was airborne and fought fiercely with the reinforcements of the Egyptian army. Once he opened this important pass, the Canaan army would directly attack the southern entrance of the Suez Canal and seal the retreat passage of the Egyptian army in the southern part of the Sinai Peninsula. The three main brigades of the Canaan army, commanded by Dayan on the northern front, attacked Umkaft, Abu Ogra and other places to open the passage to Ismailia, the important town of the northern entrance of the canal, and complete the meeting with the British and French troops there to control the entire northern entrance of the canal.

At the same time, Britain and France used the pretext of protecting the safety of canal shipping to demand a ceasefire from Canaan and Egypt. The Egyptian army then withdrew to the west of the Suez Canal. Britain and France formed a coalition to enter the banks of the Suez Canal and occupied Port Foad, Ismailia, Port Suez and other places to isolate the two armies. Canaan, who was with them, immediately agreed, of course Nasser would definitely refuse. Then the carrier-based aircraft of the British and French coalition forces and land-based bombers that took off from Cyprus began to bomb all military facilities and ports in Egypt, blowing up most of the Egyptian combat aircraft on the ground.

Nasser knew that his air force had no hope of defeating Britain and France, so he banned the pilot from taking off to fight in order to protect the pilot who was more valuable to him.

His goal was to defeat Britain and France in urban street fighting in Port Said. In order to prevent British and French warships from heading south along the canal and completely cut off the ties between the Egyptian army and the Sinai Peninsula, he ordered four merchant ships to be sunk on the waterway at the entrance of the northern canal and completely blocked the canal passage.

Then he attracted another enemy.

"Your war with Britain and France has nothing to do with us. You block the canal and our ship cannot pass. Who is responsible for the losses caused by delayed time?"

Han Ping shouted excitedly.

He was carrying a batch of winter clothes on the boat. If he couldn't walk the Suez Canal, he could only detour the Cape of Good Hope. Even the voyage from the Red Sea had to take at least 15,000 kilometers more, with just a little more than ten knots, and the time to replenish supplies along the way, it took him almost two months to drive to Europe. It was almost spring at that time, who would you sell it to?

This batch of goods was delivered to his own company in the Netherlands. This delay not only won’t make a penny this year, but also had to bear the anger of those distributors. It would be fake to say that it was not in a hurry.

"Mr. Han, this is our canal and we have the right to make any decisions about it."

The official said, holding back his anger.

"Your war is yours."

Han Ping sneered.

After saying that, he turned around and left. After leaving the door, he immediately asked the secretary beside him: "How can our government protect our interests here?"

The Ming Dynasty had no diplomatic relations with Egypt. The canal was previously controlled by Britain and France, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty did not need to deal with the Egyptian government. So he was not sure how the Ming officials would protect the interests of the Ming merchants here after the canal was taken back by the Egyptian government.

The latter pointed to the south with a strange expression.

"Hold!"

Han Ping was happy when he saw it.

Just in the direction of his secretary's finger, a gray warship floated on the sea, with the triple main gun and the red flag on the top visible.

Although there are not many red flags, the only cruisers that can appear here are the Ming Navy.

Three hours later, the capital of Yingtian Yuan.

"I've said it very clearly before. I don't care about Nasser and the British, French and Canaanites, but he must not block or close the canal under any circumstances. It's just a few days before? He blocked the waterway. Why did he use my words as fart?"

Yang Feng said to Lao Pan angrily.

"His Excellency, Britain and France are now invading Egypt. In order to protect their own territory, the Egyptian government certainly has the right to do anything on its own canal."

Old Pan said.

"Their canal? Did they invest in the construction?"

"Well, that was built by the Egyptian people."

"Yes, the Gauls paid to hire Egyptian people to build a building. They could not build a building, and then this building was theirs, right? The Egyptian government collects taxes reasonably. But it is theirs to take over the industry they invested in. And they don't even pay a penny to others. What is this? Is it a robber? Of course, I don't care who the canal belongs to. No matter who it belongs to, I have to pay tolls, but it is related to their blockade of the canal. So far, their rough behavior has caused eight Ming merchant ships to be stranded in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. So I warned him for the last time that he must release the channel within twenty-four hours, otherwise I will do it myself."

Yang Feng said with a sneer.

"His Excellency, if they release the waterway, British and French warships will take the opportunity to enter the canal and attack Egypt's cities."

"That has nothing to do with me. I only know that if he doesn't let go of the waterway, at least three Ming companies may go bankrupt. I only know that if he doesn't let go of the waterway, my insurance company will pay a large amount of compensation for this. I just need to know this. It's all their business to do!"

Yang Feng said.

Old Pan took a deep look at his imperial righteous face, then stood up and left.

Almost at the same time, a huge fleet appeared on the Red Sea sea near Sharm El Sheikh in the southern Sinai Peninsula. The four dock landing ships, Yingtian aircraft carrier, Kewei, Zhongzheng, Koryo, Ryukyu, Aceh and Annan, stood tall.

At this time, His Majesty the King of Annan had publicly announced that the Annan Kingdom had returned to the embrace of the Ming Empire. Anyway, he had eaten and drank from the Ming Dynasty. Since he had decided to hold Yang Feng's thighs, he would simply hug him thoroughly. Therefore, the fourth dock landing ship of the Ming Navy was named after Annan.

In addition, there are four Qi Jiguang-class destroyers.

The Kaohsiung heavy cruiser, Yongle, Derrensky light cruiser, and four other Qi Jiguang-class destroyers, formed a separate fleet to sail directly to Suez Port to reinforce the Hongwu light cruiser there. The latter was the one Han Ping saw. After receiving Han Ping's request for help, the cruiser immediately reported to the headquarters about what happened there and forcibly broke into Suez Port to protect the Ming citizens there.

Five hours later, Nasser also received a warning from Yang Feng from the Xinhua Ambassador.

Of course he would not let go of the waterway. Egypt has no real navy at all. Once the waterway is released, British and French warships can easily reach any place they want to go through the Suez Canal. They can land in all cities such as Ismailia and the Port of Suez. Then, not only actually control the canal, but also trap tens of thousands of Egyptian troops on the Sinai Peninsula. If the waterway is blocked, then they can only open the Port of Said first. As long as the British and French troops are dragged down in street battles, the Egyptian troops on the Sinai Peninsula can withdraw at any time.

So he simply rejected Yang Feng's rude request. Anyway, he seemed to have no choice but to do anything about him. If he wanted to open the channel, he could only salvage the wrecked ship, but that would take a long time. Even if Yang Feng bombed Egyptian cities like Britain and France, it would be impossible for those ships to float out by themselves, or he is now a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

Since that's the case, there is nothing to say. The Kaohsiung formation arrived at Suez Port soon.

"Mr. Han, you immediately organize all the Ming merchant ships stranded here to return to the sea. We will leave a destroyer to provide protection for you.

Fleet Commander Qi Fei said to Han Ping, who was invited to the Kaohsiung.

"What about you guys?"

Han Ping nodded and asked curiously.

"We? Let's open the waterway for you."

Qi Fei said with a sneer.

"Open it? Their shipwreck is blocked, how do you open it?"

Han Ping said in confusion.

"Shipwreck? Can't the shipwreck be opened?"

Qi Fei said nothing, then turned around and ordered: "Send all ships to enter the canal and enter the state of war. If anyone dares to stop us, they will directly fire the canal."

Half an hour later, just as all four Ming merchant ships stranded in Suez Port left the port and retreated to the sea. When they were protecting the destroyer Zhang Jing, the Ming fleet led by Kaohsiung also began to enter the Suez Canal. However, just as they were about to enter, the two small Egyptian naval gunboats that had been in the port finally mustered up the courage to drive out.

"Let them get out!"

Qi Fei looked at the two small broken boats speechlessly.

"We are the Egyptian navy. You have invaded our territorial waters and turn around and retreat immediately."

An officer on one of the small gunboats shouted with a loud trumpet, looking weak and soft.

"Go with him!"

Qi Fei said without hesitation.

The gun gun at the head of the Kaohsiung ship was pressed down, and flames were instantly ejected. With the silly gaze of the Egyptian officer, he hit the sea on the starboard side of his silly eyes. The water column stirred up by the explosion soared into the sky and then fell on the deck of the gunboat. The officer and two subordinates were immediately washed down in a violent shaking.

"Forget it, keep moving forward, stay tuned by the Yongle. Whoever dares to block our channel will kill you directly."

Qi Fei looked at the small cannon boat that was still shaking violently on the sea surface, and said in his inquiring eyes.
