C3348 The Pilot Form of the Strait of Calais (2/2)

”Could it be that he's trying to stand up for the Spaniard? I've never heard that relations between England and Spain have improved so much. ”

Xiao Letian fell into his typical state of darkness under the lantern. After thinking about it again and again, he decided not to think about it too much in regards to the battle reparations of 1.2 billion Gold franc.

In the end, it was because Britain's national power was too strong. This small amount of money was nothing in the eyes of the British, Xiao Letian completely ignored it.

The battleship entered the mouth of the Thames and anchored at the closest military port to London. Finally, Xiao Letian met with the Crown Prince and Duke.

The crown prince was clearly beginning to speak with an official tone, and the duke seemed to have something to say, but he held it back as soon as the words were out of his mouth!

”Dear Leader, first of all, I congratulate you on your brilliant victory in France. The British Empire admires you greatly … ”I hope the leader can stay in Paris for a while longer, and let us all be friends for a while longer!”

”Your Highness, you're too polite. I've already stayed in Europe long enough, hehe …” He should return home early! or my wife will protest! ”

”Hahaha …” The Head of the Guards should stay here for a little longer. There are too many storms in the sea during the summer, it's not safe to return home at this time of year! ”

The sense of danger was approaching, it was clear that the Crown Prince was threatening them, Xiao Letian thought as his heart skipped a beat, ”What does that mean? Do you really think England would dare to put me under house arrest? ”

Thinking about it, Xiao Letian suddenly realized that even if he was under house arrest, he would not have any way to fight back!

The Chinese did not have any means of retaliation against Britain. Even if they did capture him, what else could they do other than protest? The army wouldn't be able to cross the ocean to save itself.

His gaze swept across Duke of Newcastle, only to realise that this duke's gaze was evasive, and did not even have the courtesy to invite Xiao Letian to a feast!

This was not something a friendly shareholder should do!

After that came the procedural diplomatic formalities. The two sides met with a group of reporters at the pier and said something noncommittal about the situation in the Philippines.

In the end, Xiao Letian and the rest did not stay in the original palace, the British actually gave them a standard for entertaining guests, they simply did not arrange for food and lodging.

At the moment, the Chinese embassy in Britain was almost ready. The Chinese had already bought the five-story hotel at 49 Portland Street and were ready to become a permanent embassy.

This time, the Englishman decided to let Xiao Letian and the others stay in her own embassy.

The group of people returned back to their own homes after reaching the embassy. Luo Huo, who had a bad temper after closing the door to the meeting room, started to curse loudly.

”These British large nose, they are too bullying! This is playing with our noses in the air! ”

”This bunch of bastards just can't stand to see us. Seeing that we made a bit of money and a bit of colonization, they became red-eyed!”

Wang Huaiyuan coughed lightly, ”Not necessarily... ”It won't be necessary …” How could Britain care if it was only 1.2 billion francs? Why is the structure so small? ”

”Do you think we have Annan and the Philippines and they want a share? They want a colony? ”

There were endless discussions in the meeting room. However, no one expected that there would be a group of people rushing over at this moment!

”Quick... ”Get off the carriage at the corner, and we'll walk through the alley.”

”I have to get rid of those plainclothes policemen, I have to see Xiao Letian tonight …”

Two people with straight beards, one was older and the other was younger, were rushing into an alley. Not long after, two carriages stopped in front of where they had gotten off.

Six to seven men in black jumped down to search for her!
