C1886 News from Europe (2/2)
After a sleepless night, when Xiao Letian rubbed his eyes and opened the porthole to take a breath of fresh air, he realised that the sea level in the east side had already become white. Sea birds were flying in the morning light.
Wang Huaiyuan drank the soup that was delivered by the kitchen as his eyes finally left the information in front of him. He looked at Xiao Letian and said, ”The next night, you should rest. The British will not disturb us before 9 o'clock, take this chance to sleep for 3 hours.”
”I'm fine, you're the one who needs rest the most right now!” Xiao Letian looked at Wang Huaiyuan: ”You shouldn't have come this time, your body can't take it!”
Wang Huaiyuan smiled bitterly and said, ”This world is so vast, I also want to see it for myself! ”If I don't come out now, my body will get worse every day in the future. Perhaps I won't have another chance in the future …”
”Shut up!” Xiao Letian said in a huff, ”You're only around forty years old, how can you say such ominous words?”
Wang Huaiyuan smiled indifferently: ”Speaking of which, aren't you probing these youngsters a bit too harsh? How are they supposed to answer such a brainless question! ”
”Especially Xiang Ying, he has already done well, and this is not the type of test either?”
”What do you know?” Xiao Letian also poured himself a bowl of ginseng soup and drank half a cup. ”If a young person is ambitious, then he has to have a strength worthy of being ambitious with.” If there really came a day where he would have to take charge of himself, wouldn't he have to solve the problem by himself? Who can give him the slightest hint? ”
”If you want to inherit my mantle, you must have some real ability …”
Just as the two were chatting, a report suddenly came in from outside. Following that, an aide pushed open the door and entered the room, ”Reporting to the leader, the commander of British Fleet, Major General Jie Sen, requests an audience, she says she has important matters to report!”
”Major General Jie Sen? ”Now?” The two of them looked at each other. They took out their pocket watches and saw that it was only a quarter past five. Something big must have happened.
”Quick, invite him in …” They changed quickly and had the orderly bring them two pots of water and toothbrushes with toothpaste.
After washing up, the two of them walked out of the cabin and found that Luo Huo and General Liang Kun were already waiting for them on the front deck. General Jie Sen was currently climbing up the stairs.
The first thing he noticed was that General Jie Sen's expression was a little strange. There's been a telegram from Europe, and things are a little messy right now. Can we talk about it in the house? ”
Just as he entered the house, Jie Sen wiped off his sweat, ”Leader! You've fooled the whole of Europe! So it turns out that you had a wild victory in the Far East! Now the whole of Europe knows that it has gone completely mad! ”
”Fa Huangnapolunsanshi angrily made a statement, and has already started scolding you by name! The French army of the Suez Canal began to increase in numbers. In order to protect your safety, the Indian Ocean Fleet's remaining battleships have all accepted the orders to move out to the Red Sea! ”
”My Führer! How did you do it? I know you won, but how can you win to this extent? has shaken Europe... ”
Xiao Letian's eyes lit up as he exchanged a glance with Wang Huaiyuan. The big show that was supposed to happen would still happen, in the end. The previous media battles had already reached their goal, and the publicity battles that relied on the time difference to win had finally yielded results.
”Oh, dear General! ”I'm not sure what's going on in Europe yet. Can you explain it to me in detail?”
