C2262 Silent (1/2)

At this moment, the silence was better than the silence. The Chinese people's abnormal behavior had confused everyone. One day, two days, three days … European newspapers have spread the details of the attack, the fires in the photographs, the dark walls of the East Palace, the protesting mob, the flying stones...

Of course, there was also the classic scene of Xiao Letian's stern face hidden behind the shattered glass window. The angle of this photo was extremely tricky, and the instant the photo was taken, the heroic and handsome side of Eastern Führer's face was permanently stuck in the picture.

The light and shadows were in sharp contrast, causing Xiao Letian's face to have the texture of a sculpture. His brows were furrowed tightly, his eyes were filled with anger, and his expression carried a trace of sadness and empathy.

In addition to the few pieces of glass underneath the picture, it gave the entire picture a bleak killing intent!

It was said that with just this photo, Xiao Letian's influence on European women had increased multiple times. He was simply too handsome, and he even had a decadent feeling that would cause a woman's motherly nature to surge, making women want to protect him.

Just from this photo alone, this conflict had gained countless supporters.

The news industry throughout Europe had finally reached their golden age. The sales of all newspapers had increased by an average of forty percent, and the owners of the newspapers were grinning from ear to ear.

The better the sales, the more intense the reports were about the Chinese. The more intense it was being instigated by the public, the more heated the incident became.

In general, aside from the French and Russian media, the rest of the European countries' public opinion was very fair. Although they did not know much about the internal details of the attack, they still condemned the crazy act of targeting the head of state in unison.

The Europeans already considered themselves to be the peak of the world's civilization, and what difference did this attack make to the behavior of the group of barbarians?

If you decide that the Chinese are illegal warlords, then don't invite them to London for a visit. Since you have already visited, even warlords shouldn't receive such treatment.

If something was resolved on the battlefield, what would be the point in committing such acts of banditry? With such a precedent in front of you, would the envoys of that country still dare to visit you in England?

The war between the two countries has not yet been brought to an end. The ancients all understood this logic, but don't you, British people, understand?

News of the questioning spread among the citizens one after another. The British Ministry of Foreign Affairs Gate was gradually feeling the pressure, many of the leaders of the countries were insinuating their concerns to the public. There were even some scholars from the civil society who began writing to the British embassy, hoping that they would be able to resolve this diplomatic crisis politely.

In just three days, the situation had pressured Benjamin to the point that he couldn't breathe. He was regretting his decision now, he really regretted listening to the instigation of the Montaubans and Yi Wan, who would have thought that these thugs would actually dare to kill them!

Of course, he also suspected that this was a trap set up by the Chinese, and the probability was as high as eighty percent, but so what if he suspected? Without evidence, there was no way to explain to the public that ordinary citizens did not have the brain circuit as deep as that of politicians. They only used their simplest emotions to analyze the problem.

The thing that was scary was that Xiao Letian's previous investment in emotions had worked. His constant benevolent deeds had allowed him to obtain the love and appreciation of countless lower class citizens, and with the help of the Liberal Party and the Protestantism Church, Xiao Letian had become the spokesperson for those who suffered in the eyes of the masses.

The pressure became bigger and bigger, of course Benjamin wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible, but in these three days, he sent three waves of messengers to the Eastern Palace to meet Xiao Letian, but to no avail.

The silent Chinese soldiers didn't even bother to explain. The bayonets and sandbags stopped everyone in their tracks, and even the emissaries of the royal family were blocked outside.
