At this moment, in the Thames Estuary, the Reach and the British Victory were running alongside each other. The bows of the ships pierced the water and drew long white waves in the wide river.
Xiao Letian and Zai Chun stood side by side on the bow of the ship and accepted the cheers of the British people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Towns, villages, factories, workshops... almost all put down their work, and even the harshest factory owners could not stop their employees. their enthusiasm.
Everyone came out to watch this unprecedented excitement. Crowds of people gathered on both sides of the river.
"Long live! Long live His Majesty the Emperor...Long live the Führer!"
"Long live the British Empire! Long live the Queen..."
Long live the cheers came one after another like waves. Xiao Letian and Zai Chun were almost exhausted when they raised and waved their arms, but no one dared to live up to the enthusiasm of the British people because they knew very well that in order to hype up the European people Out of curiosity about this diplomatic event, Xiao Letian did countless things.
Zai Chun looked at the crowds on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and whispered to the master, "It's amazing. Is this the power of the Oriental series of reports you did, master? I really don't understand, how can those things that we take for granted become so powerful?" So attractive to Europeans?”
"Culture, only culture has such charm! Since ancient times, China's porcelain, silk, tea and other precious goods have been treasures that Westerners have dreamed of. Although in this era, the aura of the East has been knocked off due to war... "
"However, the people still have the habit of respecting the East. In the minds of many people, the defeat of a few short wars does not represent the complete collapse of the ancient empire of China..."
"If you think about it carefully, it's very simple. In general, Europe has more wars than peace. Which nation has not had many ups and downs? Take Prussia, for example, it was dealt with by Tsarist Russia and France many times before, large and small. There are countless small defeats..."
"But what about now? I have regained my dignity through a series of victories!"
"The same principle applies to China. In the minds of ordinary people, including many elites, the ancient empire with thousands of years of civilization has a vast territory and a large population. The failure of several small wars is actually just a small setback in the national destiny. It’s just the period…”
"They still respect China very much in their hearts, because none of them are sure whether China's national destiny will explode in the subsequent war? It's very possible..."
"Is France awesome? Napoleon swept across Europe and the anti-French alliance was frightened, but in the end it was not a Waterloo? So was Waterloo the end of France's national destiny? Of course not, didn't Crimea win again later?"
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists! So you have to rest assured that despite their arrogant appearance, Europeans still have a strong sense of awe towards China..."
Zai Chun's eyes lit up with encouragement from Xiao Letian. At that time, he silently swore in his heart that he must grit his teeth during the negotiations and not let the British take too many advantages.
Xiao Letian saw all the changes in Zai Chun's expression. He sighed silently in his heart, "My child, there's only so much I can encourage you. I hope you don't make any mistakes. Don't fall into the British plan." ! Even if you want to sell your country, you have to sell less..."
This time, Xiao Letian only taught half of Zai Chun's teachings, which meant that the second half was not told to the little emperor.
Xiao Letian's analysis of the psychology of the European people is not wrong. At this moment, everyone in Europe actually has a lot of respect for China. It only takes a few decades for the defeat of several consecutive wars. That nation in European history has not Have you ever experienced such ups and downs?
In the minds of many European politicians, as long as a strong monarch comes to power in the Qing Dynasty and can carry out in-depth reforms, it is not impossible to come from behind. The foundation is too strong.
However, Xiao Letian has not finished the second half of his sentence, which is that this illusory appearance must not be exposed. What China fears most now is to be defeated by a very weak opponent, especially an Asian opponent.
There is no shame in losing at the hands of Europeans. The Europeans themselves know that weapons and tactics are not of the same era, but the Qing Dynasty must not lose at the hands of Asian countries.
If something like this happens, even if the last camouflage is completely torn away, the whole of Europe will be stunned and understand that China is already in ruins, and all the previous caution and respect are unfounded.
"Zai Chun, in this era, there are no Japanese to tear off your Qing Dynasty painting. Just wait for me to tear it off..."
At this moment, Wang Huaiyuan suddenly came over and whispered, "It's almost eight o'clock. If there are no accidents in the plan, Leo and Pierre should start..."
"Start what?" Zai Chun's ears are quite clever.
"Haha, east wind..." Xiao Letian smiled faintly, "Not only can I use the west wind to blow eastward! I can also use the east wind to sweep away Europa!"
"If I don't completely conquer the people of London today, I will write my character backwards from now on! Just watch it, Zaichun. When we arrive at Tower Bridge at nine o'clock, I will show you a good show !”
The bell tower of Westminster Abbey is the general director of the normal show. At this moment, the two executive directors are gearing up and their eyes are shining with excitement.
"All the information was correct. Benjamin's arrogant character made him underestimate this event. Sure enough, he only guessed the size of 200,000 people!"
"Look at the police force he deployed and the current chaos. This shows that he never guessed that 400,000 people would flood the streets from the beginning!"
"The hot summer days, chaotic streets, bustling crowds, coupled with inefficient management... will naturally cause countless unexpected conflicts. At this moment, the hearts of these 400,000 people are already suffering and about to explode!"
"Now there are only two ways to resolve this chaos. One is to double the number of military and police personnel to maintain order, and use strong organizational capabilities to restore order to the people..."
"The second method is to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron, which can change the mood of the people in an instant, and at least vent their anxious anger. As long as their hearts are filled with cool wind, everyone can be calm and pure. Come down, let alone a gathering of 400,000 people, even if there are 500,000 or 600,000 people, there will be no chaos..."
"Is it time yet? Let's move on time at eight o'clock... Borrow the east wind! Borrow the cool breeze from the east, so that these London citizens who have been stunned by the fog and smoke can see the real oriental charm!"
"Open your eyes! Today we will show you what the real Eastern paradise looks like! Get ready and set off fireworks!"
