The scene suddenly came to a standstill. The guards of the Qing Dynasty chose to go on strike. They vividly demonstrated their true colors of being rogues in Sijiu City.
The British Guards also had livid faces. They were angry with the Qing people for not knowing how to advance or retreat. They had already let you go, but they didn't know how to appreciate it and still dared to cause trouble.
The battalion commander who gave the order was so dark-faced that he clenched his fists and said nothing. He seemed to be accumulating anger. The surrounding London citizens raised their feet and looked into the human wall. Many police officers were dispersing after hearing the news. The reporters came.
This conflict did not last long from the beginning to the present, only 16 to 17 minutes. However, in the sequence of welcoming ceremonies, there was a 16 to 17 minute interruption in the ceremony. This can be regarded as a major diplomatic incident. .
The guests from all over the world who were watching the ceremony also got off the carriage at this moment, and they all stopped on the street and talked in low voices, each of them having their own agenda.
At this moment, a small figure ran over from the front of the team. Da Sixi looked up and saw that it was the reclusive Manager Ermao.
Da Sixi spoke as if he were crying, "Manager Ermao! You are here, come and comment..."
"That's enough! Don't mourn. Isn't that embarrassing enough?" Ermao's eyes widened and he blocked the complaints and grievances of Da Sixi and Little Sixi.
"I have already reported what happened to His Majesty, and His Majesty affirmed your loyalty, but now is not the time to cause trouble. Everyone should cheer up and gather immediately to continue completing your mission..."
"This is not the Qing Dynasty, this is the United Kingdom. Don't lose the face of the court!"
At this moment, these gentlemen were at their most excited, and they immediately exploded upon hearing Er Mao's words.
"Er Mao, what do you mean by this? We have lost the face of the court? Are these your words or His Majesty's? We are protecting the face of the court..."
"You're just a Japanese devil. Damn it, where did you hide when we were beaten and scolded just now? Do you need your fucking ear to retaliate? Why don't we let the foreign devils beat us up and swallow their anger without any shame?"
"Your grandma, you may have been telling nonsense in front of His Majesty with more fuel and jealousy behind your back! He must have distorted the facts! It must be..."
"This kid is from the same group as the foreign devils. Xiao Letian is a Japanese devil himself. How can they take care of the court? When we were beaten just now, these bastards were just watching, not moving!"
Er Mao listened to these Eight Banners uncles and did not get angry. He just said coldly, "I am here to deliver His Majesty's instructions. I don't have time to explain these random thoughts to you. Now either you obey the order or His Majesty will give up on you... It is a choice." Either obey the order or fend for yourself, it’s your choice!”
"Fuck! You really want to die, don't you..." The excited guards wanted to take action at that time. Among them, Da Sixi and Xiao Sixi were more flexible. After all, they were trained in the Forbidden City and had seen the world. eunuchs, they still have a certain overall view.
"Okay, okay... you guys, please don't let outsiders laugh. Even if you want to fight, you have to wait until you return to China. You guys, you guys, just sell us two brothers a face. After we return to Sijiu City, we will host a show for three days." Can the assembly line apologize to me? I beg you guys..."
A group of British Guards sneered at the Chinese people's internal strife. A mocking smile appeared on the battalion commander's face. "These are the Chinese. Just these rubbish. Are they worthy of being received by the Queen in person? These idiot officials..."
At this moment, a regimental commander of the Imperial Guard ran over from the front on horseback and announced the Queen's order loudly at the scene.
"The Queen has issued an order to allow the Qing guards to bring knives to the ceremony...Charlie! Because you provoked trouble, you have been dismissed from your post and demoted to one level. Tomorrow you will go to Portsmouth Military Port to take up your post!"
"Immediately execute the order, this is the Queen's command!"
With a bang, all the guards present were dumbfounded. "Oh God! Why is this happening? The battalion commander was wronged, and the battalion commander was not wrong..."
"Execute the order! Do you even dare to question the Queen's order?" the regiment leader roared on horseback.
Now even the Chinese were dumbfounded. The one who caused the conflict, Battalion Commander Charlie, turned red and said, "Everyone is here! Stand at attention! Disband immediately and return to your original posts!"
"We are the Queen's Guards. It is our bounden duty to obey orders! Don't let these Qing people laugh. They can disobey the emperor's orders, but we British Guards have no such rebellion! Execute orders..."
Ermao was also anxious, "Fuck! Do you guys understand? Don't let the British laugh. What's important now is discipline. Don't play around with the gangsters in the Four-Nine City! If you don't obey His Majesty's order, you can only let the British joke……"
"Everyone is here, pack your clothes and move forward quickly! Do you really want His Majesty to attend the ceremony naked? Or are you not a direct descendant of the Eight Banners? Is this how our ancestors conquered the country? You don't even obey His Majesty's orders. Already?"
The series of questions made these men blush. They were used to being playboys, and they couldn't control their emotions when they were bullied. Now that they heard that the British battalion commander had been dismissed, there was really no reason to cause trouble again.
"Stop talking, Chief, everyone is here, run forward...protect His Majesty's umbrella canopy and move forward!"
The conflict ended quickly. Benjamin looked thoughtfully at a group of Qing guards with long braids and yellow jackets running past on the street.
At this time, Gladstone walked up to him and whispered, "Put your bet on Emperor Tongzhi? I'm afraid it won't be that easy to succeed. The young emperor is too young. I'm afraid the first thing after taking charge is to control his subordinates and establish absolute control." power..."
"Don't bet too high! Be careful to lose money... The little emperor wants to revive ZTE, but it won't work without his direct descendants who are absolutely loyal to him!"
Gladstone said these two words and turned around and left, not giving Benjamin a chance to speak. The Prime Minister suddenly heard the Chancellor of Finance say jokingly, "Captain Charlie? Haha, what a lucky guy, he actually thought of borrowing The Chinese use their own hands to achieve their own political goals! How smart..."
Gladstone was right. Although Charlie, a small battalion commander of the Guards, seemed to have been punished by being demoted and dispatched, people who were ignorant of politics would never be able to see through Charlie's trump card.
This is a very clever way of retreating in order to advance. Charlie completed a very beautiful breakthrough in officialdom today.
Everything is a conspiracy, and what Charlie showed in the entire conflict was only one core, which was his absolute loyalty to the queen. For loyalty, he would do anything and not even care about losing his official position.
Such reckless behavior must be punished, but is this punishment really harmful? This matter is really worth discussing.
