C499 Rubius korshinskii (1/2)
”Chai Mi Zi Cha, the salt and pepper tea, a day three full two days, people do not feel what is a nation, what is a nation.” ”If you don't let them see with your own eyes how sharp an alien's butcher's blade is, if you don't let them experience the warmth of being of the same race, they won't understand what it means to be a nation and a nation …”
In the Southern Ocean, it was as blue as a pure gem. Maybe it was because the heavens were welcoming Xiao Letian's return, but ever since the Singapore entered the Southern Ocean, the weather was simply outrageous.
Needless to say, just as Xiao Letian was talking to the army officers, countless dolphins popped out from the two sides of the merchant ship, and some of them were even extremely rare white dolphins.
”How auspicious!” ”The prime minister has returned home with good luck!” The sailors on the ship were excited. They laid on the sides of the ship and looked around. Some of them even threw fresh fish to feed them.
After leaving the Singapore this time, Xiao Letian did not continue to be the European's ship. The Singapore s carefully selected the newest scissor boat and specially went to send it to Xiao Letian.
Xiao Letian immediately understood that the Nan Yang Chinese Shang was offering the olive branch to the Letian Firm, and the signal was very clear, it was to be the leader of the Letian Firm.
Since he was sincere, Xiao Letian would not pretend to have a big head. He brought his brother and casually boarded the merchant ship, and there was more than one merchant boat with him.
Under the guidance of the U.S. and Prussia, two small cargo ships, one on the left and one on the right, headed north alongside Xiao Letian. One was a Dutch merchant ship that was hired by Prussia, the other was a American Merchant Shipping, and two unremarkable cargo ships represented two new capitalist powers.
Xiao Letian really did not boast to the Governor about it. He said that Silver would be transported by Prussian and American ships, and in the end it was so. Although it was not a battleship, these two cargo ships could still represent two countries.
Two million silver, and a boat going north with Xiao Letian in half. Until now, the new recruits still couldn't forget their gaze when they left the pier. This was the first time in this era that the colonies had ever transported precious metals to Europe, and it was also the first time that they had brought them back from the territory of the Europeans.
Even Luo Huo was a little worried, ”Oh Prime Minister, do you think the British will send their warships to kill us? If so much money is taken from their heads, won't they go crazy? ”
With a crisp smack, Xiao Letian laughed and gave him a concussion, ”You ignorant fool, you think the British Empire's bearing is so little? ”Damn it, even the control of the Great Qing Province is in the hands of the British He De now. Just based on the customs benefits alone, they have to earn tens of millions of silver a year …” ”Oh wow …”
”What is a British Empire? Didn't I tell you before? Spain and the Portugal, these two countries that were the first stars of the The Age of Great Navigation, had a majority of their gold and silver taken away by the British … ”
”Other than affecting the Governor's achievements, the wealth that we have taken away in South Asia is a drop in the bucket for the British Empire's national power. I know very well what London wants, and they also know that I am the only one who can complete this difficult task in East Asia. Therefore, it is perfectly justified for them to give me money in advance …”
What Xiao Letian said was not wrong. Not only did the British not dare to secretly go after Xiao Letian using their hands, they even sent two from the two colonies to protect him.
Just as Xiao Letian was about to return to Yue Ba, the Singapore's intelligence network suddenly received an urgent telegram from the Indian colony, sending him a French document.
After rushing through so much, Napoleon III's order to retreat finally caught up to Xiao Letian's footsteps. The Frenchman finally gave in.
A carnival, a grand carnival! The Singapore had suddenly become a city of no night. All the Chinese people took to the streets and shouted, venting the anger that had been weighing down their hearts for hundreds of years.
”The French have conceded! The Emperor of France issued an order to withdraw their troops … There was no compensation, no land ceding, the French were terrified... Fuck, I'm scared! ”
The world's number two military power, finally lowered its noble head and withdrew unconditionally. There was really nothing Napoleon could do about it. Prussia and the United States had obviously supported Xiao Letian and Britain was secretly increasing their strength in the Indian subcontinent and North Africa. It would be weird if there wasn't a conspiracy.
Italy was an ally of the Austria during the Pu Ao Battle. From the fact that he was the one escorting Xiao Letian, he could tell what his position was.
At that moment, Napoleon III suddenly felt very cold. Even though France was located in the heart of Europe, he still felt extremely lonely.
Who else could he trust? Russian? That was impossible, even the Tsar of the Crimean War had committed suicide by taking poison, it was too late for them to hate him.
Thinking about it, Napoleon III could only lower his head, the countries that were good to him right now were not strong enough, and the countries that were good to Xiao Letian were all new and established powers.
However, in 1866, the telegraph network of the world had yet to become one, and the transmission of information was intermittent. The broken nodes would need manpower to send messages.
Maybe there was something wrong with the middle of it, or someone was deliberately delaying the speed of transmission of the order, because the Military Medallion was only able to catch up to Xiao Letian after he had entered the Singapore.
