C2260 Gunfire in the Fire (2/2)
”My God! How could this be, was Benjamin crazy? ”Wait, wait …” Gladstone rolled his eyes and suddenly let out a cold laugh.
”Could it be …” Hahaha … So interesting, so interesting! Benjamin, let's see how you're going to resolve this crisis! ”
Bang bang bang … Bang bang bang … The door to the Downing Street was frantically being knocked. The butler inside could really not imagine who was so rude.
”Who the hell is it? What about the guards outside? ”Why didn't you stop him …” When the housekeeper opened the door, he was so shocked that he immediately stood at attention and bowed.
”Kiss …” Your Highness? ”
The angry Crown Prince pushed the steward away and rushed in. Only then did the steward realise that the soldiers the Prime Minister had sent out, were already standing behind the Prince with a face as white as ash.
”What's wrong? What happened? ”
”My God! Something had happened. The East Palace had been attacked by French and Russian thugs. They had used incendiary bombs to attack the East Palace. The Chinese people have all fired their guns! ”
”AHH!” The moment the butler heard this, his eyes turned black and he collapsed limply into the hallway.
Benjamin never thought that the situation would become this chaotic. He was still leisurely looking at the economic reports sent over by India and did not expect that the Crown Prince would directly barge in.
”Are you satisfied now? Are you satisfied now? ”This is your goal …” The growling prince startled the Prime Minister.
”Prince? ”What do you mean …” Benjamin hurriedly stood up.
Edward rushed to the table, his eyes staring straight at Benjamin, ”Did you arrange all of that chaos between the French and the Russian citizens? ”Tell me if …”
”Please calm your anger, Crown Prince … Is that important? ” Benjamin was at a loss.
”Haha …” Hahaha … It's you, you're really too daring! I have already said before, it doesn't matter if you go against Xiao Letian, but you have to protect the prestige of the Empire.
”Can you wait until Xiao Letian returns to Asia before making your move? Can't you even wait until his ship is on the high seas? Why did he have to make a move now! ”Why …”
”My prince, what are you talking about? Wasn't it just a protest? Could it be that you can't even sit still in such a small conflict? ”
”Small conflict! God, what's the matter with you? The mob threw Molotov cocktails at the East Palace and burned an entire wall. The Chinese fired back! You actually said that it was a small conflict! ” The Crown Prince rubbed his hair angrily, he had been completely enraged by Benjamin.
”Impossible!” Benjamin was only thirty meters tall. ”That's absolutely impossible! ”Who dares to be so bold, I can just let Montague and Yi Wan protest. The conflict can only stop at throwing rocks, we absolutely cannot take another step forward …”
”Aha …” It's really you! It's really you! ”Fine, fine, fine. I'll go and pacify the Chinese right now. You better take care of yourself, see you later!” With that, Edward turned and left the Prime Minister's residence.
”How can this be? ”How is this possible …” Benjamin paced back and forth in the study room, ”I just wanted these protester to discredit Xiao Letian. This is just an ordinary publicity battle, how did it become a war?”
”Montauban? Was it Yi Wan's doing? That's right, it must be the two of them. They want to drag me into the water, and they want me to go into the water completely … Men, bring me the envoys of France and Russia! ”
