C2269 Figaros column (2/2)

”Since ancient times, defeating the enemy has been easy, but winning the hearts of the people has been the hardest. I can defeat the Chinese army on the battlefield once, twice, thrice, but who can make the Chinese surrender willingly?”

”Only I, only I can do it! Napoleon once said that China is a sleeping lion, no one should wake him up. But now, not only have I woken him up, I have also defeated him.

”This is the greatest diplomatic event in the history of mankind. This is the most glorious moment of my life. I'm afraid that I will never have another great achievement in my life!”

”But why …” Why do I have to blacken my glory? Imprisoning envoys? This is what those barbarians are doing, how can I do it! ”

He was very clear on the consequences of this rumor spreading around. At that time, the British international reputation would fall like an avalanche, the backward and weak countries like Africa, Asia, and the South America were already very afraid of the British Empire. If they were to hear this news again, it would be too disadvantageous for British diplomacy.

The Queen's anger quickly reached Benjamin's ears, and the anxious Prime Minister was stunned into a daze by the lightning-like news.

”My God! This bunch of Frenchmen are really pig-headed teammates, they are trying to scam me to death! Call Montaubon... What do they want? ”

When Montaubon came up to the Prime Minister, a thick French newspaper hit him squarely in the face. ”Answer me! Why is that? Why did you act without my permission? ”

Before coming here, Montaubon had already found out about the latest news within the country. He also picked up the newspaper with a pale face and said, ”I'm sorry, I really didn't know. I swear to God, I definitely didn't ask them to do this …”

”Montauban... Are you trying to coerce me in such a nasty way? You want me to have to get on your boat? You want to borrow my hand to directly kill Xiao Letian? ”

”In your dreams!” The roaring Benjamin spat all over Montaubon's face, ”You're dreaming! My refusal to negotiate with Xiao Letian is an internal matter of mine in Britain, it has nothing to do with France! ”

”Even if I wanted to kill Xiao Letian, this is not the time and place! Send this to your emperor, and tell him not to be stupid and not to be smart! ”

At this moment, Benjamin and the Monarch both thought that this was a conspiracy of Fa Huangnapolunsanshi's, and it was true that this kind of thing was very compatible with his personality.

With this unexpected protest, the anti-Chinese alliance would be able to pull the British into the water.

The impact of this incident was just too great. In the evening, Zai Chun from Buckingham Palace received this news, and upon hearing it, Er Mao was so shocked that the teacup in his hand shattered.

”Good heavens! Is England mad? Your Majesty, how did you talk to the Queen? ”No, I have to go to the Eastern Palace. I have to see the Head of the Guards …”

Zai Chun was also dumbstruck, looking at the newspaper article, he couldn't help but underestimate it, ”Could this be true? Could it be that Er Mao and I have guessed wrongly the thoughts of the British, that the British actually want to cheat Master? ”

Zai Chun did not dare to delay his visit with the Queen, he had to get to the bottom of this matter!
