C2272 Believe it or not (1/2)
”What truth? I am speaking the truth! ” The British ambassador in Berlin was also an impatient man, and he was tired of the subject. Why does everyone in Europe think we're the prisoners?
He immediately held a press conference in response to the questioning of the Prussian media, disputing these questions with a sense of justice.
”The Chinese are crazy. Can we control them? ”They couldn't take it any longer if they ran into a small demonstration. They hid inside the East Palace like they were facing a great enemy. Are we going to rush in and capture them?”
”Mr. Ambassador, you mean that the Chinese have put themselves under house arrest?”
The ambassador flushed and said he was ashamed of himself, ”Mmm... ”The fact is, it was originally the Chinese who locked themselves up. What did it have to do with us?”
The crowd burst into a cacophony of noise. Everyone had a strange and wonderful expression on their faces. The British ambassador also felt that no one would believe him if he said those words, but that was the truth.
”This is what happened, this is what happened to the truth that you all wanted … It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, I will believe it! ”
With that, the British ambassador turned around and left, swearing that he would never have to deal with these reporters again.
The reporters were all in a frenzy as they ran back. This famous quote by the British had been on the headlines since the afternoon of the same day.
The kind-hearted Prussian citizen looked at the bugle and was stunned, ”Believe it or not, I do.” God, what an arrogant speech, do you really think all of us are fools? ”
”The Chinese have put themselves in confinement? Is there something wrong with my head!? Who would be so stupid? Xiao Letian came to Europe as the leader of the envoy. If Britain cannot stay, then naturally there will be other countries that can visit! ”
”Is there a need to hide in the East Palace like a turtle? You should at least be more reliable at making up lies! ”
”What do you mean, Xiao Letian is a coward? You ran away from a little protest? Damn it, do you think all the people in Europe are blind? ”
”How did Xiao Letian come out of France? Could the miracle of the Shiqiao uplands in the Poo War be caused by a coward? The Eastern Führer did not cower even a little. Would he be afraid of protest? ”
”Damn British, they are simply insulting the intelligence of the whole world!”
The entire Prussia fell into an uproar, and soon after, these bizarre conflicts became news that flew along the telegraph line towards all of Europe.
The scholar, who had been angered by the British ambassador, finally woke up and told the reporters bitterly on his bed.
”The British are avenging themselves! ”Nine years ago, when they allied with the French and attacked China, a prince general of the Qing Empire treated the English and French diplomatic mission impolitely …”
”Those envoys were imprisoned and beaten, and some were even killed! So after they break through the Beijing, they will burn the Yuan Ming Yuan to seek revenge! ”
”Now that the Chinese diplomatic mission is here, they must be thinking back to the humiliation back then. They are going to imprison the Chinese diplomatic mission as revenge!”
”That must be the case. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the current situation … Of course, revenge is only a reason, and the reason is even more so because the British colonialist is ready to make a move. They thought that they could make the Chinese surrender using such a tyrannical method! ”
”It must be a very strict treaty that is forcing Xiao Letian to sign, the British are trying to colonize the Chinese territory! ”The way we eat is too unsightly, too disgusting …”
