Facts have proved that no matter how awesome the CIA is, it is impossible to block all enemy infiltrations, and Liu Dadao is a fish that slipped through the net.
Many years later, after Liu Dadao's identity was exposed, the CIA conducted a very high-level internal inspection and conducted an investigation on all intelligence personnel who accompanied the mission at that time.
In the end, of course, there was no result. The CIA report showed that there were no traitors within the Chinese community to cooperate with Liu Dadao's actions. It was all an accident and negligence.
But there must be an explanation for accidents and negligence. In the end, after careful analysis, people can only blame Liu Dadao's acting skills. I have to say that this high-end Manchu and Qing Dynasty masterpiece is definitely an experienced actor. If nothing else, it is a chef. His unique skills are beyond doubt.
There is really no one who can actually develop his cooking skills to a level where he can cook a state banquet for the sake of his career.
The king of heaven and earth is the master, and here relatives are ranked before the master, which means that when encountering the real critical moment, the blood relationship is still more important than the relationship between master and disciple.
The idea of national integration that Xiao Letian had been instilling in Zaichun was now thrown into the trash can. The jungle law between countries that he analyzed was also destroyed by the powerful selfishness of the Manchus.
When choosing between the two paths of the country and his small family, Zai Chun finally chose his own small family. He first wanted to protect the interests of the Aisin Gioro family, followed by the interests of the Eight Banners Group, and then the Manchus. , and finally China.
Several years of teaching were ruined in one day, but now Xiao Letian has no idea at all.
The Strait of Gibraltar was soon left behind, and the clear outline of the flaming Gibraltar Rock Peak in the distance now turned into a faint light group, like a lighthouse in the vast sea.
The fleet left the Strait of Gibraltar and immediately turned around and headed north. Portugal and Spain both sent aristocratic envoys to greet them on the way, and during the greetings, Zaichun and the others also knew the grand occasion in London at the moment. Britain had already shown a high level of skill that had not been seen in a century. Standard to welcome the Eastern Emperor's visit.
However, during the meeting, the Chinese senior officials vaguely felt something was wrong. The Portuguese and Spanish envoys' respect for Zai Chun was sincere, but their politeness towards Xiao Letian felt fake.
This is an inexplicable feeling. On the surface, you can't find anything wrong with the other party. All the etiquette is meticulous. At first glance, it seems that he is from an old noble family, and that sense of etiquette is ingrained in his bones.
But you can just feel the perfunctory and contempt in their hearts, as if the Chinese people are completely dispensable.
"What's going on? Has the situation in Europe changed?" Xiao Letian and the others felt a little worried.
Xiao Letian's guess was correct. At this moment, there was not only a welcome ceremony for him in London, but also a conspiracy trap to deal with him. In the Prime Minister's official residence in Downing Street, Benjamin was like a predator on a spider web, weaving a big web trying to trap him. This hidden dragon lives in East Asia.
"How are the preparations for the Navy Ship Review on the Isle of Wight? Immediately send a report to urge more than 120 warships to be assembled in three days. I want the overwhelming warships to intimidate these East Asian rubes..."
"The number of liaison officers with the royal family will be increased by thirty more. From outside Tower Bridge to Buckingham Palace, there must be a major-level military attaché and a parliamentarian as liaison officers every 200 meters..."
"An additional 20% of the troops will be added to the route of the Queen's carriage..."
"Are all the envoys from various European countries here to watch the ceremony? What... Portugal, Spain and France are still missing? Forget about France, what's going on with Spain and Portugal? Why aren't they here yet? Austria's envoys have already arrived in London , why are they so late..."
In the study room of the Prime Minister's residence, Benjamin was so busy that he almost fainted. He was the person in charge of the entire welcome celebration, and he had to shoulder all the burdens.
It didn't matter if he was a little tired, but the key was that he suffered so much and ended up serving the most annoying person. At that moment, he even complained about his predecessor, the Earl of Derby.
In his heart, he had scolded the old gout patient who died of the disease. If the Earl of Derby hadn't misjudged the situation, how could Xiao Letian's rise in East Asia have happened?
"Stupid idiot, according to my plan Xiao Letian should be eliminated after the Austro-Prussian War. No matter how small the seedlings of thorns are, they are harmful and must be nipped in the bud! Do you still want to use him to restrict Tsarist Russia? Just dream on, It's okay now, leave your shit butt to me to wipe, damn..."
Benjamin's secretary is also a veteran for many years. One look at the prime minister's irritable expression and you can tell what he is thinking.
"Prime Minister, please take a rest first. I will sort these approval documents into categories. I will call you if there are any important ones..."
"No, no, no...there can't be any mistakes. I'll just wait a little longer..." Benjamin rubbed his sore temples. "The queen is right. No matter how many conflicts and contradictions we have with the Qing Dynasty and the Chinese, after all, this is a thousand years." An unprecedented diplomatic breakthrough, this major historical event that will go down in history is so important to our British Empire..."
"The United Kingdom is now at the top of the world's nations. We stand at the head of all countries. We seem to have unlimited glory, but there are also huge hidden dangers..."
"Because there is no country to follow in front of us, which means there is no way forward for us to refer to, not even a path in the grass..."
"Everything needs to be explored by us. There is no reference for any decision. This is the trouble of our big country! Every step we take is a gamble, and only God knows whether we have taken the wrong path..."
The clerk sighed, "God will definitely bless us, bless the empire!"
Benjamin shook his head, "So, we really can't deal with Xiao Letian during this celebration. We can't arrest him, let alone kill him. We have to treat them as honored guests!"
"We can't let them be so arrogant. This historic meeting that will go down in history cannot be given to him... Even if all the glory is given to that child Zai Chun, it is okay to give it to Xiao Letian!"
"Continue to send a telegram to Paris and ask the French Emperor what happened. Why hasn't the candidate for the special envoy been determined yet? At this time, the French will have to be the disgusting dogs!"
At this moment, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door of the study room, and the telegraph operator left behind in the mansion pushed the door open and entered.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, a call from France! The candidate for the special envoy has been selected..." the telegraph operator said excitedly.
"Who? Tell me quickly..." the clerk asked eagerly.
"Charcouzan Montauban... is the Count of Baliqiao! The French Emperor sent Montauban out..."
"Hahaha..." Benjamin laughed loudly, "Great, I guess it's him, and only he can stimulate these pagans from the East, hahaha..."
