C3205 The Emperors New Clothes (1/2)
Yi Suobeila was about to go crazy. In her world, she had always been a gluttonous person who surrounded her like a moon and stars. No matter how the empire had declined, no matter if the people could survive, the Spanish Empire would still be strong under the lies made up by these despicable people.
As for his own downfall, it was just an uprising that happened among the ambitious warlords. A temporary military defeat did not mean that he would not be able to make a comeback in the future!
She could not see or hear what was happening in Spain when people were not living well, and she would talk nonsense all day long about why she did not eat minced meat. Would she know what the distant Philippines was like?
She did not know about the dilapidated wooden ships of the Southeast Asian fleet, or even the sixteenth-century bronze foundry cannons.
The colonists had not been equipped for over twenty years, and the best soldiers were merely holding rifles equipped with Mini Bullets. In the Indigenous soldiers's hands, there were only the oldest musket and shotgun.
Even more soldiers had to rely on their bows and spears to fight!
None of these queens knew that in her eyes, her empire ruled over a thriving landscape, not as prosperous as Britain or France, but it was also on the same level as the Austria. As for the Queen of Prussia, she didn't even put her empire in her eyes.
The Emperor's new clothes had been worn for too long, she didn't even know that she had become the laughing stock of the entire world!
”Shameless!” Shameless lie! Xiao Letian actually sent such an impolite diplomat, the strong Spain definitely will not accept such humiliation! ”
”I will raise the flag of God and set fire to your land! The Vengeance Goddess is already staring at you, you have nowhere to run … ”
Xiang Ying was already at a loss for words. Facing such a crazy Queen, all the roundabout words will have no effect, people even thought that your kind words are true.
”Your Majesty! Wake up, do you really not know anything about the Philippines? In this war, there were no more than thirty thousand soldiers who had a Mini Bullet Rifle before, and the rest were all aged musket. Even Napoleon's weapons were still in use during the war! ”
”More soldiers, they even have to rely on bows and arrows and spears to fight... The Philippines' finances are on the verge of collapse, and the Governor is unable to satisfy your local greed, not to mention that the Governor himself is a corrupt person! ”
”Your colonial government in the Philippines went bankrupt more than a decade ago. You can't even make ends meet!”
”Why do we have to go back to Manila in one night? If it wasn't for your rule being so bad, we wouldn't have fought so easily! ”
”Face it! Dear Queen, you will never be able to take back the Philippine lands... I came here this time just to help out with the problem, and hope to be able to help you! ”
”In other words, a single deal is possible!”
The fat pig Queen did not want to hear any bad words, but the court female servant by the Queen's side, Su Shan, understood it well, and had immersed herself in the imperial court for many years to understand a lot of things.
She whispered a few words into the queen's ear, and the queen's face gradually relaxed, ”Alright then …” ”Let's put aside our dispute first. It's already very late, let's invite the general to the banquet. We can slowly chat!”
Xiang Ying stood up and bowed slightly: ”I hope the Queen can calm down and think about it, and face the reality …”
After the Chinese envoys left the meeting room, Yi Suobeila the Second said to Su Shan angrily, ”Why are you stopping me? That scoundrel with a pretty face, I thought it was a gift from God, but in the end, it's even an infuriating enemy! ”
Su Shan opened up her fan and fanned the Queen, ”Your Majesty, calm down first … ”Actually, what the Chinese just said wasn't all a lie!”
