When there are disputes between countries, reasoning is actually useless. In an era when strength is respected, people believe in authoritarianism. The winner has everything with big ships and big guns.
Therefore, Xiao Letian never thought about trying to reason with France and Tsarist Russia, and the other party actually had no interest in trying to reason with Xiao Letian.
In fact, France has long wanted to send a large army to destroy the Chinese once and for all, and the ethnic alliance is beginning to advance steadily under the leadership of France. Now the only one that interferes with France is Prussia.
I believe that as long as the diplomatic dispute between France and Prussia comes to an end, France's next step will naturally be to unite with Tsarist Russia and even the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands and other European countries to launch Europe's third expedition to Asia.
The politicians in the cathedral all know this little idea, but they are just acting on the surface. That's why Montauban attacked Xiao Letian like a scoundrel, but Xiao Letian wanted to talk to God like a magician.
Does this look like a farce? It is still a farce, because from the beginning to the end, both parties have never thought of reasoning. In fact, everyone is just putting on a show for the public.
Human society is extremely complex. For top politicians, they can completely abandon all human emotions and then fully believe in authoritarianism.
They can launch aggressive wars, massacre cities, kill prisoners, rape and plunder! As long as they can get benefits, what are these people afraid to do?
Therefore, there is no reason for these beasts to gather together. What they are fighting for is conspiracy and Chi Guoguo's strength.
But while the upper class elites are completely shameless, in sharp contrast is the kindness of the people at the bottom!
Yes, in nineteenth-century Europe, people's educational level had just begun to improve, and it was still religion that controlled the spiritual world of the people at the bottom.
It must be admitted that the core tenets of the major mainstream religions in mankind still guide people to be good. Although there have been careerists and conspirators in history who have used the power of religion to do evil, the basic theories of religion are still good.
The lower the social class, the kinder the people are. This is true at all times! Of course, poor people at the bottom will have some vicious and evil thoughts in order to survive, but that is only an individual phenomenon that occurs when their own interests are harmed.
Xiao Letian sees this very clearly. To give a simple example, there may be a person in a village who likes to steal and bully the weak and is afraid of the strong. He is a rogue among the people in the village.
But if you analyze this phenomenon carefully, you will find that this kind of person will often show his evil side when facing his own interests, but when faced with things that have nothing to do with his interests, he can actually do it. Consider issues from the perspective of fairness, justice, and kindness.
Human nature is so complicated. He may have just stolen a cabbage from his neighbor's house, but in the blink of an eye he would be sighing and crying for the Libyan refugees.
Cabbage is about his own interests, but the Middle East refugee issue is about his spirit!
After understanding this, Xiao Letian can feel the pulse of the British people and even the people of other European countries.
At this moment, Xiao Letian has given up trying to reason with France and Tsarist Russia, because he knows that the other party has long been unreasonable. The truth now needs to be explained to the people of Britain, and even more to the people of Europe. Let's listen.
Now it is a war for dominance of public opinion, and it has nothing to do with being reasonable or not.
Therefore, Xiao Letian wants to be surprising, new, and weird...use new and strange tricks to attract these reporters from European newspapers, and then use the pens of newspaper reporters to influence the people.
What do the people have in their hands? There are votes that politicians are most concerned about! In other words, the people may be short-sighted, they do not understand the secrets of very responsible governance, and they do not have the ability to accomplish things, but don’t forget that they are capable of doing bad things!
Link after link, a series of knots after one knot will be solved naturally.
Montauban and Ivan are attacking like mad dogs. Can Xiao Letian take the attack? No way! Only people with good brains can fight with mad dogs.
You avoid the mad dog and find another way, using the reputation of God and the bishop to attract reporters to you first. Aren't you, Benjamin, trying to disrupt my interview session? Haha, it's a pity. I, Xiao Letian, naturally have the ability to attract them. If they take the initiative to come to me for interviews, you can't control them!
A beautiful game-breaking idea! At this moment, one-third of the people in the hall have understood Xiao Letian's methods. Regardless of their relationship with the Chinese, at least on this point they are all secretly convinced.
Benjamin couldn't hold it any longer. He walked to Crown Prince Edward and said, "Your Majesty, it's really getting late. The Queen is still waiting. Could you please interrupt him first..."
Edward looked back at the prime minister, his expression extremely solemn, and he lowered his voice and said, "Is this the result you want? You have already brought dust to this event, please stop it in time!"
Edward usually respects this senior. This is because of Benjamin's age and many years of working for the empire. Once Benjamin does something that exceeds his bottom line, the crown prince will never be polite and will continue to beat him when he should. .
With a bitter look on his face, Prince Edward walked over with a smile, "Oh, dear Yuan, your words really surprise me. It seems that the outside world says that you are the hope of the Protestant East. This is really true... …”
"Dear journalists, I have to apologize to interrupt you. The Queen is still waiting at Buckingham Palace. We are very pressed for time. If there are still interview needs, I think Yuan will satisfy you..."
"Please, the carriage outside the church is ready!"
Since the British had given them the steps, Xiao Letian would naturally step down. When he walked past the two envoys Montauban and Ivan, who were ashen-faced, he smiled faintly and said, "Come here, give me the steps for the Russian envoy." Bring the gifts as well... Gentlemen, you should keep these precious historical materials! They may become family heirlooms in the next hundred years!"
The letter sent to Ivan was also a thick brown paper bag. After opening it, special envoy Ivan was almost mad to death. It turned out that it was full of tragic scenes after the battle of Vladivostok. The dead bodies of Tsarist Russia’s Eastern Army covered the entire screen.
"Asshole! I challenge you in the name of God! I want to kill you... I must kill you!" As he spoke, the bear-like general rushed over with red eyes.
