C2791 The Little Emperor of Berlin (2/2)
”Think about it, even if I have to stay here for the rest of my life, it's not impossible!”
Liu Dadao had become a celebrity that was respected at banquets. However, in the world on the opposite side of the street, there were countless commoners crying as they looked at the signboard.
The family members of the dead that jumped into the river earlier howled and cried!
No one doubted the accuracy of this account anymore. This was because the British Government did not come out to fudge the truth in the middle of the night. This meant that the sea battle was real and the Duke of Newcastle was not lying!
The French immigrants knew that their homeland had been destroyed, that the army had been defeated, and that the navy had been defeated. Although they had escaped the fire pit, under the influence of blood and culture, they also felt the same grief.
As for Liu Dadao's assistant, he was in no mood to care about these tragic and happy stories. He was only a secret letter guard under the protection of two British veterans, they were heading to the mouth of the Thames, where the Duke's private yacht was waiting for him.
Far away in Berlin, Emperor Tongzhi was drinking and having fun in his palace. In his bedroom, four Prussian girls of sixteen or seventeen were accompanying the little emperor.
After flipping the 'Inverting Dragon' and the 'Phoenix', the haze on Tongzhi's forehead did not dissipate. Recently, his mind had been very heavy, to the point that even his feminine looks were unable to calm his emotions.
Having had enough, the little emperor put on his clothes and walked to the study beside the bedroom. He sat on a chair and stared at the huge Military Maps on the wall in a daze.
”So powerful!” Master is really too powerful, I had thought that France would be able to hold on for a while, but I never thought that he would actually be weak to such an extent! ”
”Back then, the late emperor was really foolish. He should have talked to the English alone, but he could not give these French large nose any benefits … This is good, Xiao Letian has poked the skin out of the painting, and he has reaped a lot of fame and fortune! ”
”Even the navy can't do it, damn it, why can't the navy do it? A single Zhiyuan Warship could fight against an entire fleet? How exactly is France the second most powerful country in the world? ”
”It's not my fortune to know! No, I have to go see Xiao Letian, I can't just enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed! ”
At 5 in the morning, Tongzhi pushed open the window of his study. Outside was Berlin, which was like the Nightless City. Hundreds of thousands of people stayed up all night on the streets to celebrate the Maritime War in Eastern Frisia's glorious victory.
The joy of victory in the sea battle even surpassed the joy of the army, because this was a pleasant surprise, because this was a victory they themselves had never expected!
They were obviously the weakest nations in Europe, but to be able to defeat the second ranked France's Navy, such a result was something even the bravest military analysts would not dare to imagine.
The street had become a sea of music and beer. All the bars and restaurants were open all night long, and they sold the beer barrels to the public at a high price. Even the tavern owners who drank too much started giving them free gifts.
Sausage, bacon, pig's feet, pickles... The traditional Prussian food was available, and the excited citizens danced to the music. Such scenes were rarely seen in the strict Prussian Nation!
”Wuwuwu …” Sea War Victory... Our navy defeated the French... ” The agitated citizens wailed.
Immediately after, a group of students, carrying cardboard made Zhiyuan Warship s and models, began to tour around.
”Long live! Long live the empire! Long live! Long live Brandenburg! ”
”To Paris! Taken the French capital! unified Germany! ”Long live!”
