At this moment, Xiao Letian and the senior officials of the Chinese clan have understood Benjamin's conspiracy. It seems that they are afraid of Xiao Letian's terrifying ability to harvest reputation and want to do everything possible to reduce his chances of appearing in the public, especially this It is an official occasion that is crowded with people.
Look at Emperor Tongzhi, Xiao Letian's disciples are all so sharp-tongued, so how terrifying can Xiao Letian be? From the series of reports on the Chinese ethnic group in the East to the Oriental style landscape paintings floating all over the city, Xiao Letian has already fascinated the people of the city even before he arrived in London.
The people who came to the streets today were basically fans of Oriental Style, or to put it bluntly, fans of Xiao Letian. These are all votes, votes that all the major ruling parties are striving for!
Carrying the hope of the people to protect himself made it difficult for Benjamin to take action. After seeing through Xiao Letian's plan, Benjamin felt chilled from the bottom of his heart.
He really couldn't understand why a scholar from the feudal dynasty was so proficient in things like propaganda and popularity? This should be a special skill of European politicians. How did the Chinese learn it?
He is really a monster, and the monster must be suppressed!
Today's entire welcome ceremony, there are two points that cannot be changed, and that is the two banquets, the luncheon and the dinner! Because this is all hosted by the Queen herself, and the Queen's body cannot be overworked, her meal and rest times are fixed every day.
Even if the emperor of China comes over, it will not affect the queen's health!
With the two time points remaining unchanged, the schedule of other welcome ceremonies was disrupted, allowing other people to occupy a large amount of Xiao Letian's speech time, until the media finally forgot about him.
It was not easy for Benjamin to come up with such a plan in a hurry and execute it perfectly.
Xiao Letian, who had figured everything out, simply crossed his legs and watched the people on the stage showing off in a leisurely manner. Fighting for prestige is not something that happens in a day, and there will be many opportunities in the future.
Benjamin was really good at what he did. Under his secret instructions, this group of reporters started a round-the-clock battle to ask Emperor Tongzhi questions. Today, Zai Chun also performed well and his eloquence was a mess. I believe that tomorrow all Europe will be against him. Positive coverage.
Time passed like this minute by minute, and Gladstone saw everything. He was secretly observing Xiao Letian, but found that this familiar stranger had a somewhat calm and calm aura. This made Gladstone Reston looked at it very highly.
Taking out his pocket watch and checking the time, he turned to Benjamin and said, "My lord, it's already a quarter past ten, are you still going to delay the time? The Crown Prince is waiting at St. Paul's Cathedral..."
Benjamin pretended to be surprised and said, "Did time pass so fast? Oh, hurry up and send someone to communicate with the Chinese leader to see if his words can be put into the church. The crown prince and several young royal members can't wait too long. It’s been a long time…”
The hard work fell on the Duke of Newcastle in the end. The sullen Duke was unwilling to offend Xiao Letian. After all, he still had to rely on Xiao Letian's secret recipe to make money. However, he had no excuse to refuse, so he had no choice but to endure it. On the scalp.
"Dear Xiao, look at it...His Majesty suddenly made an impromptu move and disrupted the schedule. Do you think we should seize the time? Can you go to St. Paul's Cathedral to talk to us?"
Xiao Letian smiled faintly, "No problem, I will follow your arrangement. Can my guards land now?"
"Okay, absolutely okay! The open space has been vacated..."
General Luo Huo had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He immediately stood up and strode forward. Standing by the gangway of the Zhiyuan, he raised his head and ordered loudly, "The entire honor guard is here! Get ashore... urgent gathering!"
At that moment, it was like a muffled thunder sounded out of thin air. Eight hundred tigers stood at attention and saluted. The big leather boots with iron palms hit the deck with a loud noise, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
The reporters who had just finished the interview immediately adjusted their cameras and pointed them at the Chinese warships.
Under the gaze of everyone, the Chinese 6th team members wearing neat military uniforms, carrying brand-new Mauser, lined up neatly to disembark from the ship, and soon eight neat square formations were arranged on the open space of the pier.
"Everyone...take a moment...stand at attention...look to the right!"
Following the company platoon leader's order, the formation quickly made fine adjustments, and soon a tofu block formation with straight horizontal and vertical lines and even diagonal lines appeared in front of the London people.
The Chinese army was basically trained according to the formation standards of the People's Liberation Army of later generations. In terms of formation, military resources, and appearance, it completely crushed all armies of this era.
As soon as the Eight Hundred Tiger Ben appeared, tens of millions of people immediately exclaimed, "Wow! Is this still a human being? How can it be so neat..."
"Stand at attention!" Luo Huo gave an order, and the eight hundred tiger soldiers collectively moved their leather boots. There was a loud bang, and the horseshoe even scratched a spark on the stone slab.
Eight hundred people, just like one person, are carved out of the same mold. They are extremely well-proportioned in height, short, fat, and thin. Even their heights are carefully selected, showing a very gentle diagonal line in people's sight.
Everyone raised their chins proudly, and their eyes revealed the strict records and endless murderous intent. Everyone was a veteran who had been on the battlefield and had seen blood. Their aura was so strong that all the British generals shuddered. .
"Good soldiers! God, this feels so familiar. They are all veterans who have killed people! And there is no confusion in their eyes, full of confidence, and the light of wisdom... Are these all made up of officers?"
The Eastern Legion shocked all the British people present as soon as they appeared on the stage. Benjamin's nose was almost crooked with anger, thinking to himself, why is this Xiao Letian so good at causing trouble? I can't hold it back anymore.
But at this moment, there was no excuse to let the middle man go back to the ship. The only thing Benjamin could do was to let Xiao Letian go quickly and leave here immediately so that these Eastern Legions would not appear in front of the people.
"Prepare the carriage and invite the distinguished guests to St. Paul's Cathedral!"
The carriages that had been waiting for a long time came one by one. Benjamin, as the minister, personally accompanied Zai Chun into the first black-painted and gold-painted carriage, and the four Arabian horses began to move forward in small steps.
Next, Gladstone accompanied Yuan Xiao Lotte in the second carriage, and then one after another British senior officials accompanied the Eastern guests on the carriage.
On both sides of the long carriage team, there were guards composed of 200 cavalry and 400 British soldiers advancing in parallel, and at the end of the carriage team were eight small Chinese phalanxes.
"Here comes...the procession marches! The procession marches to St. Paul's Cathedral...Hurrah!"
Both sides of the street were crowded with welcoming crowds. Excited citizens waved their hats to welcome the envoys. Zai Chun and Xiao Letian also smiled and returned the greetings through the glass windows. The long street suddenly became a sea of joy.
