C2445 conceited French Emperor (1/2)
”We have to tell His Majesty that we in France do not have any intention to assassinate him, and that there are no benefits in assassinating him!”
”Since His Majesty Tongzhi wants to push the industrialization process in the Great Qing and build a long railway, then the British funds alone are far from enough. Furthermore, it is dangerous for such super projects to be overly dependent on a certain country!”
”I think he should be able to understand that eggs shouldn't be in the same basket! If the railway construction was built with the joint investment of the English and French and the three factions of the Great Qing, it would be more beneficial for the Qing Dynasty to negotiate among the parties and use us, France, to restrict Britain. This would be beneficial for the Great Qing Dynasty! ”
”Since we, France, want to do such a big business with the Emperor of Tongzhi, why would we assassinate his majesty the Emperor? ”I think it's just a piece of paper …”
”Mm, what you said makes sense …” But anyway, how do you explain the fact that the killer is a veteran of France? ” The French Emperor asked.
”It's not important which country the killer is from, because the killer is after money. As long as you give enough money, it's easy to get assassins from any country …”
”In the end, it still depends on the attitude of the Tongzhi Emperor. Only his attitude can affect public opinion!”
”Indeed, we have become very passive in this incident. Even if we begin to retaliate in the media and do a lot of advertising, it will be very difficult for us to fight against the people's preconceptions!”
”At this time, we can only clear our grievances for us through the actions of our victims, the Emperor! If we can reach a friendly agreement with the Tongzhi Emperor, even if we have to give the little emperor some benefits or something … ”
”I think after this kind of agreement is signed, the public's suspicions towards us will be broken!” Don't worry about Gladstone, he's an old cunning fox. As long as we can affect the victim, the Tongzhi, he won't continue to pester us! ”
”The only thing I'm worried about right now is... In fact, it's still Xiao Letian! ”
The moment this name was mentioned, the flames in Napoleon's heart started to burn. ”This bastard still hasn't left England? ”Remember, once he leaves England, as long as he leaves the protection of the British forces, kill him immediately!”
”Let our navy be on high alert. If there's a chance, we can open fire without my permission!”
I'm afraid it's not that simple! In these days in London, I have experienced his strength. This really doesn't seem like a Asian; his understanding of Europe really surprises me! ”
”If my information is not wrong, the reason why Gladstone came up on stage is related to Xiao Letian. This crazy Asian man has given him a lot of support, the two of them should be in the state of secret allies!”
”Furthermore, through many methods, Xiao Letian established a very good relationship with the British aristocracy circle, especially with the Queen's' friendly 'attitude towards him. Under this kind of background, I'm afraid the UK will only increase their protection, and not weaken!”
”Enough. I'm not asking you to serve me for a reason. What I want is a solution!”
”Yes, Your Majesty! Please forgive... What I mean is, after experiencing the disaster of the Tongzhi Emperor's assassination, the British have become more vigilant.
”The only thing we can do now is to think of some tricks we can use on the battlefield!”
”Battlefield?” Napoleon said faintly.
”If there's no mistake, it's the battlefield! Xiao Letian brought two thousand troops, what does he want? I'm afraid he wants to take advantage of the tense situation between us and Prussia to fish in troubled waters! ”
”Don't forget, this is the method that the Poo War use to obtain endless benefits. If it wasn't for that war, how could Prussia have built the Iron-armored battleship for them? ”How can you be so close to him?”
