Chapter 391 Su Zhengyang's decision to blow up the Roman Center
In this tense atmosphere, Fu Jiang's voice was like a cold blade, piercing into Consul Reed's ears without a trace of emotion.
He felt a chill down his spine, as if he was in an icy cave with the wind howling all around him and nowhere to escape.
Consul Reed knew that once the troops of the Revitalization Division decided to take military action against the entire Austro-Hungarian Concession, he would face a huge challenge. What could he rely on? Was it the police and gendarmerie responsible for maintaining public order in the concession? He knew that these forces might be enough to maintain daily order, but facing the powerful armored forces of the Revitalization Division, their combat effectiveness was almost negligible.
Consul Reed knew in his heart that there was a huge difference between the gendarmerie and the armored forces of the Revitalization Division.
He imagined the scene of the steel torrent crushing all obstacles, and a feeling of despair arose in his heart.
He knew that he had to find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the entire Austro-Hungarian Concession would be in irretrievable danger.
Consul Reed took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm and firm, trying to break the heavy atmosphere.
"Secretary Fu, listen to me," Consul Reed said, with a hint of anxiety in his voice, but also a firmness that could not be ignored. He knew he had to act quickly, try to communicate with Fu Jiang, and find a possible solution to the problem.
"I understand your position and concerns, but I hope we can discuss this issue calmly." Consul Reed continued, his eyes fixed on Fu Jiang, trying to convey his sincerity and determination.
"We all have a responsibility to protect the security and stability of the concession, not to allow the situation to deteriorate further," Consul Reed continued.
"Please believe me, I'm not stalling for time or shirking my responsibilities. I just hope we can find a wiser and more appropriate solution," Consul Reed said anxiously.
Fu Jiang was silent for a moment, then he said in a decisive tone: "Zart must die. He has touched the bottom line of our president! This is an unforgivable sin. If we cannot reach an agreement on this, then I can only apologize to Consul Reed."
Fu Jiang's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Consul Reed's heart hard. He knew that Su Zhengyang's attitude was firm and would not tolerate any compromise. Consul Reed tried to fight for it again, but the beeping sound of hanging up came from the other end of the phone, like the end of fate, which made him feel particularly heavy.
He knew that he had no way out. Fu Jiang's attitude was very clear. The Zhenxing Division would not let Zart go, and this also meant that the Austro-Hungarian Concession would face a huge crisis.
Consul Reed felt powerless. He didn't know how to deal with this situation, but he knew that he had to take action as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
In deep contemplation, Consul Reed began to consider various possible solutions. He knew that he had to communicate with the Northern Xinjiang government as soon as possible to find a solution to the problem. At the same time, he also had to strengthen security measures within the concession to prevent the situation from further deteriorating.
Su Zhengyang sat in the president's office, his eyes firm and resolute. An hour ago, Fu Jiang's conversation with Consul Reed made him more determined. He knew that Zart's actions must be severely punished to let these foreigners understand what it means to touch the dragon's reverse scale and die.
"Let the Revitalization Division take action and blow up the landmark building of the Austro-Hungarian Concession, the Roman Center Building of the Roman Trading Company!" Su Zhengyang's voice was calm and firm, revealing unquestionable majesty. He knew that such an action would bring huge pressure to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, forcing them to compromise.
At the same time, he also took into account the safety of the people in the concession. Therefore, he particularly emphasized the need to evacuate civilians to ensure that there would be no bloodshed. Su Zhengyang did not want to make things completely irreversible at the moment.
After the order was given, a cold expression flashed across Su Zhengyang's face.
He knew that this game had entered its final stage, and under the heavy pressure from the Northern Frontier Government, the Austro-Hungarian Empire would definitely make concessions.
In the Austro-Hungarian Concession, the fate of the Roman Center Building was already sealed. It would be reduced to ruins in this game, becoming a symbol of Su Zhengyang's determination and strength.
The Roman Center Building stands in the prosperous area of Anyuan Road, Fumin District, Beijing Port City. With its unique charm and majestic momentum, it has become the most eye-catching landmark building in the entire Austro-Hungarian Concession. This building not only witnessed the development of the Austro-Hungarian Concession, but also carried the glory and honor of Roman Trading Company.
The Roman Center building, which covers an area of about 3,000 square meters, has eight floors. Its solid masonry structure and exquisite decorative details reflect the style and craftsmanship of European architecture at that time. The beige exterior wall shines brightly under the sun, exuding a solemn and elegant atmosphere. The huge clock at the top of the building not only provides an accurate time reference for busy city life, but also becomes an indispensable landmark symbol in people's hearts.
As the headquarters of Roman Trading Company, the Roman Center Building has complete facilities and functions. More than 500 staff members of the company work here, most of whom are foreigners who come from afar, bringing hundreds of millions of profits to the entire Roman Center every year.
However, at this moment, the Roman Center building was shrouded in a haze.
Only 203 meters away from the Roman Center Building, the four mm Thor's Hammer cannons pointed their black muzzles coldly and firmly at the landmark building of the Austro-Hungarian Concession. The breath of death emanating from the muzzles made the surrounding air seem to freeze.
The soldiers of the First Armored Grenadier Regiment of the Zhenxing Division, wearing uniform black uniforms, performed the task of evacuating the nearby crowd with expressionless faces. Although their movements were orderly, the cold and resolute aura made everyone feel the approach of death. After learning of the impending disaster, the staff in the Roman Center building were even more terrified and rushed out. Their panic and despair were infinitely magnified at this special moment.
The soldiers were like messengers from hell. Their appearance made the once bustling streets empty. And the sharp alarms, like the mockery of the god of death, echoed in everyone's ears. The fate of the Roman Center Building was already determined. It was about to be reduced to ruins under the roar of these four cannons. And this upcoming disaster would also become an indelible mark in the history of Jinggang City.
At the tense and orderly scene, Captain Michel received confirmation of the evacuation of people near the Roman Center. He nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes. Following his order, the soldiers quickly adjusted the firing parameters, and the four 203MM Thor's Hammer cannons began to prepare to fire heavy high-explosive shells.
The words of the head of the group, Michel, were full of majesty and unquestionable power: "From today on, the Roman Center will become history! And this is the price of offending our leader!" His words were like a thunder, exploding in everyone's ears. The fate of the Roman Center building was irreversible, and it was about to be turned into the dust of history in the gunfire.
At this critical moment, the entire Jinggang City seemed to hold its breath. People moved away from the Roman Center building, fearing that they would be affected by the upcoming artillery fire.
As the last civilian was evacuated, Captain Michel issued the final order. The muzzles of the four cannons spewed out flames and gunpowder smoke at the same time, and the deafening sound of the cannons echoed over Jinggang City. The heavy high-explosive bombs were like messengers of death, accurately hitting the Roman Center Building.
Under the bombardment, the Roman Center building began to tremble and shake. The sounds of broken glass and cracking bricks and stones intertwined to form a doomsday picture. Under the destruction of the bombardment, this once glorious landmark building gradually lost its former majesty and eventually turned into ruins.
