With a bang, all the senior government officials who could hear it laughed. Benjamin stood up, nodded and assured Zai Chun, "Your Majesty, all the doors in Europe are open to you. You can know everything about us, everything!" "
Zai Chun's eyes shot towards Benjamin like lightning, "Does it also include the latest scientific and technological research in the UK?"
Benjamin's face changed slightly but he immediately said calmly, "Yes, of course. In fact, tomorrow you can go visit the latest warships we are building in the UK!"
Zai Chun smiled. This was the first time that he discovered the charm of language. Being able to control language is a wonderful understanding. The attribute of unparalleled eloquence is really great. You can get what you want just by using language.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Mr. Prime Minister, but I don't want special privileges. I certainly hope that your decision will be supported by the broad public. If the great British people are not willing to let me see those secrets, I will not deliberately let you It’s embarrassing!”
Zai Chun directly set the final nail on the coffin board. This was to use words to squeeze Benjamin and make him express his position in front of all the people. This was to force him to be unable to go back on his words.
What else could Benjamin say, with so many reporters watching, he could only bite the bullet and nod with a smile, "Of course, the Qing Dynasty and our British Empire are the two poles of the East and the West. The world runs in our hands, so of course we must cooperate in depth. Already..."
"Not only can you see our latest warships, we can even sell them to the Qing Dynasty to help the Qing Dynasty build a powerful navy!"
Bang bang bang... Zai Chun was the first to applaud. "Thank you very much! Thank you very much for your kindness! Dear friends, I didn't expect that there would be such a big breakthrough on the first day of this diplomatic visit, which makes me deeply Surprised..."
"The Prime Minister just said that the British Empire and the Qing Empire are the two poles of the East and West of the world. I fully agree with this... However, I must also admit that the British Empire in the West is the rising sun!"
"But the Qing Empire in the East is already a little old and struggling! No matter in terms of education, technology, industry, military... etc., we have fallen behind Europe. As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I must Admit it!"
"We all know that Britain and the Qing Dynasty had two unpleasant wars. I think each country has its own interpretation of why the war started. But I will only talk about one thing here, and that is communication..."
"Yes, the main cause of the war is probably the interruption of exchanges between the East and the West for hundreds of years. Europe wants to restore such exchanges, but the conservative forces in the Qing Dynasty do not want such exchanges..."
"After continuous conflicts, war is inevitable! I have learned from this painful experience. I have asked myself countless times, what if we had started negotiations instead of war? What if we could use the exchange of words on the negotiation table instead? What a great ship and cannon!"
"But we can only look forward and cannot go back to the past... So I am here today. Before I take office, the second stop of my study tour is naturally Europe!"
"The broken bridge of communication between the East and the West, I hope to use my body as the cornerstone to rebuild it!"
With a bang, everyone present was shocked. These were not ordinary words. Zai Chun's words were absolutely epic.
With just a few words, he has expressed his position to the whole world. The closed door of the ancient oriental country will be opened proactively this time. The army will no longer need to violently blast it. Will the people of the East open their eyes to see the world?
Everyone started talking regardless of diplomatic etiquette. How many business opportunities and wealth were contained in Zaichun's words? It’s simply too many to count.
All the British officials and the distinguished guests from various European countries were whispering to each other with great excitement. The reporters were gearing up and even raised their hands to ask questions for interviews.
Facing the whole heated scene were the confused faces of the Chinese officials, especially Xiao Letian, who looked like he couldn't laugh or cry, and was hopeless.
"What a fool! You stole another manuscript from me... This time it's okay. I didn't copy the entire article. I even made some modifications!"
"Fuck, I owe you, I'm still stealing from you..."
Even Sima Yun, who was the least talkative, couldn't stand it anymore. He secretly poked Xiao Letian, "I mean, Yuan, why are these words so familiar to me? Isn't this your draft..."
"Okay, shut up! Who asked me to raise a thief?"
After saying that, Xiao Letian glared at Wang Huaiyuan, "How do you provide security at the CIA? Can you let Zai Chun steal from me twice?"
But I didn't expect that Wang Huaiyuan was still energetic today. Instead of blaming himself, he laughed. "Now you know how to keep secrets? Then I ask you, have you just learned that people who are not of my race will have different hearts?" The truth?"
"Damn, you kid did it on purpose!" Xiao Letian immediately understood that Wang Huaiyuan had deliberately let Zai Chun steal, and then used this kind of thing to stimulate himself.
To put it bluntly, I still want to give advice. Since ancient times, advice has included direct advice, dead advice, flattery advice, side advice, etc. But today, Wang Huaiyuan is playing tricks!
This is to set a trap for themselves, allowing themselves to take the initiative to jump in, and then achieve the purpose of admonition. To put it bluntly, they want to eliminate Zai Chun!
"I'll deal with you when I get back...I'll have to think of another speech!" Xiao Letian cursed in a low voice, but unexpectedly Wang Huaiyuan shook his head.
"I'm afraid there's no need. Didn't you see? The reporters have started to interview. Today Britain has made it clear that it wants to put all the halo on Emperor Tongzhi... You still want to steal the limelight? I'm afraid you don't even have a chance to say anything. !”
Wang Huaiyuan was right. Zai Chun's original ten minutes of speaking time turned into half an hour if he went off-script like this.
And it wasn't over yet, an unplanned interview actually started. The reporters who were extremely excited by Zaichun's speech raised their hands to ask questions.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that the Qing Empire will open more ports in the future..."
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, does the Qing Dynasty have any plans to develop its industrial system? Which industry should we start developing first..."
"Your Majesty, commerce and trade are inseparable from maritime trade routes. May I ask if you have the intention to establish a large navy? If so, what time and scale will it be..."
…
Countless questions came to Zai Chun. Zai Chun was truly unparalleled in eloquence at the moment. He could answer every question cleanly and neatly, and he would not be sloppy in answering those he couldn't.
"Study, my biggest task in Europe this time is to study abroad. How to reform the Qing Dynasty can only be decided after I have truly investigated..."
"Yes, the military power of the Qing Dynasty should be strengthened. You also know that there are many rebel forces in the Qing Dynasty. I must give the empire a space for peaceful development..."
"Are you asking about the time when I will take office? Ah, this should be related to my wedding schedule. After all, China pays attention to starting a family and starting a career. You must first start a family before you can start a career..."
…
Zai Chun is probably possessed by Su Qin and Zhang Yi today. At this moment, his eloquence is unparalleled and he is shining brightly!
