C271 Xiao Letian who refused to admit defeat (2/2)
In the entire plan, Paul and his subordinates must have sent information to him. Without these eyes and ears, Xiao Letian's plan was like a water moon in the mirror, so he had to save these Prussian s even if he had to engage with the French soldiers.
Facing Xiao Letian's toughness, Pierre could only choose to compromise. The French soldiers let go of all the Prussian and each of them angrily watched as they advanced towards the direction of the Besanthus. As for Lieutenant Colonel Xie Lifu, he brought a group of cavalrymen and galloped in the direction of Paris.
”Go on, it will take five days to get back on the road, plus three or four more days for the bureaucrats of Paris to bicker and bicker. As long as I have ten days, it will be enough time for hamburger's brothers to come and save me … ”
Just as Xiao Letian was walking towards the Besanthus, far to the north, the entire city of hamburger had already been thrown into chaos. All the citizens had seen the news of the Chinese Army saving the orphans from the newspapers, and at first glance, none of them dared to believe their own eyes.
With the secret encouragement of Prime Minister Bismark, the rescue operation was completed less than six hours ago. As a result, all the newspapers in Hamburg had published the topic written by Lei Ao, and the enlarged photos took up an entire page.
It was a group of imposing Chinese Army. The face of the one in the lead was covered by a layer of black ash, and only his eyes were shining brightly. In his arms was Ma Li the little girl, who looked like an angel, and behind them was a soaring flame and a large expanse of ruins.
This was a photo that touched the whole of Germany, a striking contrast between the hard-blooded soldiers and the softhearted little German girls, the intense visual conflict that moved everyone.
Throughout the history of mankind, the most praiseworthy virtue would always be to act bravely in the name of justice. Furthermore, the previous self of the Prussian Kingdom was the Teutonic Knights, and their blood contained the precepts of a Knight. They were all moved by the actions of the Chinese people to save them.
Newspapers, other newspapers, and the special topic of the new army made up the headlines of all the newspapers, causing the entire city to boil over.
Lei Ao shouted in the newspaper, ”All of the Hamburg citizen who witnessed the rescue operation were emotionally moved. In the raging sea of flames, under the threat of tons of dangerous explosives, none of these Chinese retreated. They used their actions to show the German Nationality the virtues of the ancient civilization in the East …”
”All of us have heard about it from the English and French. Many of us have been affected by the false reports about the Chinese, including me. ”In those vicious reports, the Chinese were disgraced as a group of cowardly, unambitious, inferior people, cowards who could easily be insulted without daring to take revenge …”
”Shameful, I am deeply ashamed of my own blind obedience. These brave young men have proved to Europe by their actions today what a fine people they are, and the moral code in their hearts will only be higher than we think! I want to apologize to these soldiers, I want to apologize to all Chinese! ”
Outside the Newcomer Army's recuperative church hospital, countless Hamburg citizen s formed a crowd and started to gather. They silently prayed to the injured and sent them a fresh flower.
In less than three hours, the outer wall of the hospital had turned into a sea of flowers. Tens of thousands of flowers had surrounded the hospital, and the strong fragrance even covered the smell of the medicine.
Not only did the citizens start to move, the Hamburg Council, the Hansa Merchant Guild, Nuo Beier Explosives Company … Countless political and business groups had lined up their representatives to express their condolences to these young men from the East. All kinds of gifts filled the sickroom. Not to mention, just the fine wine alone brought three large carts.
This was the first battle of the 300 new troops for the reputation of the Chinese people. They had not let Xiao Letian down, as he had put his effort into this battle, and this battle had given them the dignity and pride of the Chinese people.
”God bless you, people from the east, you have earned the respect of the German Nationality with your actions. I am here to express my gratitude to you and to the distant civilization, to thank you for bringing up such an outstanding talent! Please allow me to pay my respects to you on behalf of the Prussian Kingdom! ”
When the message was announced in the newspaper, the citizens of the hamburger were elated. There were even people in the who wanted to mark this day as a holiday to commemorate these brave young people.
Holidays and all that sort of thing, but it also shows how popular these Chinese people are. Xiao Hexin and the others were also infected by the Hamburg citizen. In the next three days, the speed at which the injured boys recovered was shockingly fast, to the point that countless outstanding doctors were surprised.
However, three days later, the excited mood of the new army was completely doused with cold water. A top secret report had made all the soldiers furious.
”The Ryukyu Kingdom's Prime Minister, Sir Xiao Letian, has been placed under the control of the French in the small city of Besanthus. Send a message to the Mr. Xiao, instruct your team to quickly head to the border of the Switzerland and find an opportunity to save the Prime Minister!”
