Chapter 122 - Synovial Needles

The blade was already at Sakamoto Ryoma's neck, and the Musketeers s under Luo Huo's command had already pointed their spout at his head, as long as Xiao Letian gave the order, Sakamoto Ryoma would not be able to escape even if he flapped his wings.

”Who let you guys do this? ”Unorganized and undisciplined, keep all of them for me …” Xiao Letian knew that this kind of threat was completely ineffective against people like Sakamoto Ryoma.

”Alright, you've won. I hope that tonight's banquet will be rich enough. Your father has already eaten a meal today, my stomach is already empty …”

Sakamoto Ryoma's banquet was set up in Huashan Liyuan's Japanese courtyard. Now that Huashan Liyuan had imprisoned them as war criminals, he directly transferred this set of courtyard to Sakamoto Ryoma.

Sakamoto Ryoma said that he was not bragging at all when he spent one day preparing for this banquet. After the entire tyrant was incinerated and the economic order completely collapsed, it was actually quite difficult for him to get so many delicious foods.

tuna sushi, tuna sauce, native sea urchins, abalone, and shrimp tianfro... Zero a total of more than 20 styles, and according to the eating habits of the people invited, the amount of food increased a bit, not to mention the fact that two plates are empty.

There were around ten different kinds of wine. sake s, turbid wine and other high-grade goods produced in Qing Kingdom, including wine brought by foreigners, were essential.

”I'm very sorry, that Ba is currently waiting for the right moment. With my abilities, I can only prepare such a simple and crude food. It's really too inattentive …” There were only two seats on the tatami, it seemed like this was a private banquet.

”It's not simple?” After the war, the refugees could not even get two meals of porridge a day, yet you can actually get so many delicious food, it is not much worse than that of Shang Tai … ” Xiao Letian casually made the wine cup with his legs crossed, and the Japanese maid was naturally the one who poured the wine.

”How could such a powerful character not do his best as a guest? I have mobilized three hundred Japanese fishermen and ten merchants for this banquet, and spent a great deal of effort to gather all these ingredients in the evening. After saying that, he once again knelt down and paid his respects.

Xiao Letian quietly looked at Sakamoto Ryoma, and sighed in his heart, this group of Japanese, once defeated, wanted to use a trick, to 120% respect to resolve the enmity in the enemy's heart? To get rid of his punishment? Could it be that the reputable officials in history had such a few tricks up their sleeves?

To be fair, Xiao Letian was still very respectful to Sakamoto Ryoma, because it was this man in front of him who allowed Japan to use the smallest price to advance from Middle Age to the modern era.

He had contributed to the Southwest Tatmadaw Alliance in the Trapezia movement, and the great government of the Tokugawa had been his proposal. He had established the political framework of modern Japan with his eight plans, and he had even been honored as the father of the Japanese navy.

Xiao Letian had always admired the Minzhiweixin of the Japan. Of course, since Xiao Letian was not a Japanese fan, he also hated the Japanese invaders. However, no matter how much they hated him, the talent of the Japanese could not be erased, especially from the most famous Minzhiweixin in recent history.

Xiao Letian was very clear that the Minzhiweixin in Japan was the one that had the least bloodshed in the history of mankind. In the entire renovation process, whether it was the two wars in the Changzhou region or the war in the Wanchen City, both battles had more political battles than military battles. In reality, the number of soldiers that had died on the battlefield was very limited.

However, such a small sacrifice was enough to complete the entire Minzhiweixin. Although there were a lot of assassinations occurring frequently, compared to the other countries' road of change, the Japanese Minzhiweixin could be said to be more successful.

Japan was undoubtedly very lucky compared to the other ethnic groups of the same period. The death toll in the United States was well over a million in the latter part of the Civil War. Prussia, on the other hand, had to go through every step of the way to unify Germany.

As for the old capitalist Britain, not to mention the civil war, even the King's Charles I was sent to the guillotine. The path of the constitutional monarchy was a little scary, and of course the French, Louis XVI, were beheaded during the Revolution.

Thinking back to the path of a strong and powerful man in China, Xiao Letian was already on the verge of tears. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was rumored to have lost over a hundred million people, and the later stages of Twisted Army were in chaos. In addition to the several foreign wars, the number of people who had died was simply uncountable.

But the history of the Republic of China... Forget it, it's better not to recall it.

Xiao Letian's bright and clear eyes stared at the Sakamoto Ryoma in front of him. He knew clearly in his heart that the fact that Japan was so lucky had something to do with the man in front of him. He was not completely under the command of a single power, and the only problem he considered was the wealth of the country.
