C1009 Resentment outside the Guandong Gate (1/2)
If it was said that Ulangeli's anger before was due to his own nature, then the anger behind was because Xiao Hexin had poked an old scar across the entire Russia.
The Crimean War was the biggest failure of the Russia in the 19th century. The three countries of the English and French joined hands to stop the power of the Russia in the Black Sea, and they also killed a Tsar.
This topic was a taboo in Europe, you could not bring it up in front of the Russian. The Crimean War had already been here for thirteen years, but the wound on the Russian's heart had yet to heal. Xiao Hexin directly poked the wound and called out the Tsar's name.
That shot was definitely fired by him subconsciously, because the two of them were conversing in Chinese. If it was in Russian, and the surrounding Russian soldier understood the conversation, then that shot would be the command to attack.
Xiao Hexin shouted loudly, ”Did you all hear it? America's envoy and British Minister, the two lords, have you heard it clearly? ”
”Ulangeli first called out Prime Minister Xiao's name and continuously cursed at him. In order to protect the dignity of the Prime Minister, I made the request for a duel … But this coward did not dare to fight directly, and had instead put a cold spear behind his back! ”
”Is this the diplomatic character of the envoys of the Russia? Allow you to name and insult our Prime Minister without allowing us to make any rebuttal? I rebutted and was going to shoot! I reserve the right to prosecute all nations... ”
The crowd was in an uproar. At this time, even the Americans were unable to hold a side issue. In fact, the Americans had never sided with the Russia before, so seeing the Russian being humiliated made them feel good in their hearts.
As the oldest diplomat, Hua Ruohan coughed twice and said, ”Diplomats, can you please be a bit professional? If you want to argue, Head Office will naturally provide a room for you. Please solve the problem using a civilized way! ”
The British Minister also laughed, ”Yes, Britain does not wish for the situation in the Far East to worsen, and does not wish for new conflicts and wars to occur. Whether it is on the dueling arena or at the negotiating table, we are willing to help adjust.
His words made Ulangeli even more furious, he knew that he wouldn't be able to fight today, so he jumped up onto the horse and scolded, ”Despicable Chinese, despicable Xiao Letian! You will regret it, and the tsar's wrath will burn you to death! ”
Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Hexin opened his mouth again, ”Mr. Ulangeli, can I understand that this is your declaration of war on our Ryukyu? Or was it a declaration of war on the Great Qing? If this is a declaration of war, then there is no point in negotiating. Please declare a declaration of war and we will each prepare our own battles! ”
”Our Liuzhu Military and Civilians will not initiate a war, and we are definitely not afraid of war!” Saying that, Xiao Hexin suddenly jumped on the horse and shouted: ”Justice must win! Justice must win! ”Justice must prevail …”
Xiao Hexin and the dozen or so Ryukyu Marines were shouting in the crowd, there were no longer scenes of people shouting in the back market, other than a few Acidic Scholar s who were reading, most of the people were numb and indifferent.
But Xiao Hexin did not care, just as he clenched his fists and roared, the crowd suddenly gave out a loud bellow, and photos were already prepared, recording Xiao Hexin's valiant look, and this was the evidence, it was something that could be used in European media battles.
Ulangeli was simply unable to describe how he was feeling. You guys ambushed the Russian Army in the Far East and killed our soldiers. The Chinese are a bunch of swindlers and thugs! ”
