C512 Country (2/2)
When Jin Yandiao brought the most detailed volume of the European newspapers and the translation version of the Singapore back to the Tyrant, Shang Tai and Fan Lian decided to print and distribute it in large quantities after a short meeting. This kind of victorious report would be the best in calming the hearts of the people after a bloody war.
During these nine days, all kinds of victory flyers had been posted all over the streets and alleys, especially those spontaneously formed shrines for Xiao Letian, which were a gathering place for these flyers. Moreover, every day, there were university lecturers who were obligated to teach these flyers and explain this to the illiterate citizens.
In the middle of the nineteenth century, the Europeans had already given the whole world an inherently strong impression. The backward races did not even dare imagine that one day they would be able to defeat these western robbers.
In such a gloomy era, Xiao Letian's victory was no different from a ray of sunlight shining through dark clouds. It was impossible for the people to not pay attention to him.
Tears streamed down the faces of the tens of thousands of citizens as they held their signs high and began to march across the city. Since they could no longer squeeze through the docks, they started walking up the mountain. At the end, all the places that could overlook the docks were filled with people.
At that moment, there was only one voice in the world, ”Prime Minister …” Prime Minister … ”Prime Minister …”
Xiao Letian, who was on the sea, heard the shouts accompanied by the wind. He had already changed into his military uniform and stood at the bow of the ship, behind him was the neatly organized army of tofu, the crossing of Earth had already made them into excellent sailors. No matter how the ship swayed, their legs seemed to have grown roots as they stood there.
Even Xiao Hexin, whose legs were injured, stood there with his crutch. No matter who it was, they would not listen to him, ”I left the Ryukyu standing, I will still return standing … I am not a cripple, so I don't need your special care! ” Amidst the roar, Xiao Hexin's eyes turned red.
Xiao Letian's appearance caused a commotion in French Fleet, the flagship Glory even adjusted the angle of the ship, as if it was going to attack. When the Shattered Waves and the other two warships saw that the situation was not going well, they hurriedly adjusted their boat's posture and dived in diagonally, blocking between the Prime Minister and the French Fleet.
”All French battleship retreat... This is not a warning, this is a command... ”Retreat, retreat immediately …” The Shattered Waves scolded as the standard-bearer continuously sent out commands with strong language.
”Notify Naha Harbor... Notify Sheppard of... When you have finished preparing for battle, if the French battleship dared to make another move, it would immediately bomb them … ”
A series of murderous orders was passed down, all in clear code. The French could clearly see them, and it was only then that the French calmed down.
On top of the Glory, General Bruce was surrounded by a group of high ranking military officers. The British are already protecting Xiao Letian, we no longer have the chance to take action … ”
Bruce pounced forward like a red-eyed dog: ”Oh my god, it's this criminal, he's the one who insulted France! I want to avenge my Cavalry Battalion … I want to avenge my Expeditionary forces … I want to avenge the envoy... I want to avenge His Majesty the emperor! ”
”Don't stop me, load …” Blast Xiao Letian to death! ” Bruce roared on the deck like a vicious dog, countless soldiers on the side were dumbfounded. They had never seen the Major General this hysterical.
”Lord General is drunk …” Everyone go back to their posts and don't fire without an order... Everyone step back, stop all threatening actions... French battleship would never fire at the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu … ”This is the flag language. Buy it, send it out …”
The two aides carried Bruce to the cabin from the left and right, while whispering to each other, ”Alright General, all the sailors have seen your performance, the Emperor can see your performance … You can rest now! ”
Good boy, after all this time, Bruce is acting! In order to prove to Napoleon that he still had use, and was even a ferocious hunting dog, Bruce had no choice but to act out this show in front of all the sailors.
A failed general. If he could prove his loyalty to the emperor, then it would be easy for him to rise again. Didn't one of the philosophers say that?
”The dog guarding the door always barks in front of the guest. Even if the dog is familiar with the guest, even if his tail is shaking when he barks, this routine barking is unavoidable. ”Because dogs always use this method to prove their loyalty to their masters and prove that they are still useful in order to avoid the bad fruits of being cooked …”
Right now, Bruce was the villain who wanted to prove himself, and Xiao Letian was the villain who had shocked the whole of Europe.
The bravery of the Shattered Waves and the other two warships caused the two British battleship s to praise him endlessly. In this era, the British Navy pursued the spirit of a reef.
”Such a weak navy, yet they possess such a strong courage to fight. In the future, the Ryukyu's navy definitely cannot be underestimated … ”Well, I'm going to write this down in my log book and pass it on to London...”
Thinking about that, the British captain tidied up the spotless White Gloves in his hands and proudly ordered, ”The battleship will be cut into the shape of a magic army, and Napoleon III's retreat order will be announced to them … Issuing orders, tell them that the is now responsible for the order of the seas of the Ryukyu … ”
Xiao Letian watched as the two British frigate s grazed the side of the French ships and rushed in, almost colliding with them. The two British frigate s split the fleet of French ships into two as if they were dead snakes.
