C2134 The Governor of the Chang Sheng Jun (1/2)
The order of disembarking the ship was something that had to be paid attention to, Zai Chun and the Da Sixi who helped him with the umbrella were the first, followed closely by Xiao Letian, the two people who held actual authority in the east were walking at the front.
After them were the Duke of Newcastle s that accompanied them. Behind them were the upper echelons of the Chinese clan discussing talent and seniority. Their positions, age, and achievements were considered in many aspects.
Wang Huaiyuan was naturally in front of the officials, although he had never personally commanded the army to fight before, but the CIA's contributions were calculated based on the results, the value of the CIA that he commanded was not inferior to the hundred thousand strong Chinese army.
After them were Liang Kun, Sima Yun, Luo Huo and the other senior generals, while Xiang Ying and the rest could only reach the third tier.
When Xiang Ying stepped onto the stairs, the first person Zai Chun saw was already shaking hands with the British officials who were welcoming him. Benjamin then respectfully extended his hands and held Zai Chun's right hand, his waist bent extremely low, and his head was even three inches lower than Zai Chun's.
”Your Majesty the Emperor, welcome to British Empire. I represent all the members of the British Cabinet to welcome you. May you live long, long live, long live!”
Aiyo, Xiao Letian who was behind them immediately laughed, he heard Benjamin's greeting very clearly, it was Chinese! For the sake of this gathering, this old thing had specially learned a sentence in Chinese.
Zai Chun immediately felt that he had gained a lot of face. He replied in English, neither humble nor haughty, and said, ”Thank you very much. On behalf of the Great Qing Empire, I also express my gratitude to your Government. I'll be troubling you! ”
The emperor of the Great Qing knew English! Everyone present cried out in alarm, this was a very good signal, it meant that the Great Qing's Emperor had a good impression of Britain.
This would definitely be of great help to the future cooperation. This English phrase immediately drew closer the distance between Zai Chun and the British authorities.
Time was of the essence, so Benjamin and Zai Chun couldn't say too much. The two of them looked at each other, as if they understood each other, and then let go of each other's hands. Gladstone, who was beside them immediately bowed and cupped Zai Chun's right hand with both of his hands.
”Bless you, Your Majesty the Great Majesty! ”I've worked hard all the way. I hope you can feel the atmosphere of home in England...”
”Thank you very much, Minister of Finance! I can already feel it … ”
Just as Zai Chun was shaking hands with Ge Lasi, Xiao Letian was already standing in front of him. Two rays of light shot out of their eyes like flint, and as they collided in the air, a series of sparks flew out.
”Welcome, esteemed leader!” Benjamin said with a fake smile.
”Thank you very much, honorable Prime Minister!” Xiao Letian was also an expert in acting.
The two of them could feel the cold wetness in each other's hands. It was ice-cold and sticky like they were shaking hands with a poisonous snake.
Then, Xiao Letian walked over to Benjamin and gave his smiling face to Gladstone. The two of them had been in contact with each other in secret. Although they had not reached a true alliance, they had already decided to cooperate.
”Hello …” ”Respected leader!”
”Thank you very much... Esteemed Minister of Finance! ”
Without saying a word, the two of them parted their hands with a faint smile. Just like this, Zai Chun controlled the speed of him shaking hands as the long queue of people started to shake hands with the welcoming party.
