"Conspiracy! This is a Chinese conspiracy. Please don't be fooled by the Queen and the Prime Minister! The Chinese want to find a place to stay in the Indian Ocean. They want to colonize Mauritius. They want to find a new port..."
Montauban, Duke of Baliqiao, screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately exposing Xiao Letian's sinister intentions.
"Idiot! Do you think the British Empire is as brainless as you?" Jonas was tired of this French idiot, and he was the first to jump out to refute him.
"Did the head of state say about garrisoning troops? Did the head of state say that he used money to buy sovereignty? It was originally a land purchase within British law. The purpose of the land was to protect the last batch of dodos. This has something to do with the military. what relationship?"
"Let me ask you, all the gentlemen and ladies present, which one of you doesn't have a manor? Which one doesn't have your own vacation place? As the head of state of the Chinese nation, Xiao Letian is stronger than more than 70% of the people present. Is it possible? Is it still a crime to have a holiday estate?”
"I am not familiar with the distant Mauritius, but Sir Samuel once lived there for a long time. Could you please tell me how big that island is and what its specific situation is..."
Sir Samuel is a famous British explorer, and his words are very pertinent. The Sir pondered for a moment and said, "Although Mauritius is a string of islands, the area of those small islands is basically negligible. Only the main island is the largest." Suitable for human habitation..."
"The geological survey completed three years ago showed that the main island covers an area of more than 1,800 square kilometers and has a population of less than 30,000... The economy mainly relies on timber exports and seafood fishing, and the main industry is a group of sugar factories. The rest is very A primitive and ancient handicraft industry..."
"Hahaha..." Before Sir Samuel could finish his words, someone among the Chinese officers burst out laughing, "In the land of a county, such a small island is not as large as a small county in the Qing Dynasty, let alone the population. Well, with only 30,000 people, what can we covet?"
"That's right, the French ghosts use such a broken island as a treasure. They don't even have basic industry. Where can the warships be anchored? How can they be repaired?"
"It's a military base, and it's not close to the main waterway. It has no military value at all. It has no industrial support. It's estimated that every bullet has to be sent thousands of miles away. Only a fool would build a military base in a place like this..."
These Chinese officers have perfected their English skills. Although their accents are a little weird, everyone can understand them. Such straightforward rebuttals can make even the most superficial busty ladies understand.
There was a lot of discussion and private opinions on the matter, but most agreed that Montauban's accusations were exaggerated.
Naturally, we can’t just watch our allies suffer. The special envoy of Tsarist Russia, Ivan, jumped out again and started spouting nonsense: “What a nonsense. What is a protected area? We need to spend 200,000 pounds to establish a protected area for such a few big birds? Who would believe this kind of lie... …”
"Human beings are creatures created by God to rule the world. All living things are subject to human rule. These big birds with no ability to survive are born to be eaten by people. Do they have to be sacrificed if they don't eat them?"
"Hypocrisy, you are as hypocritical as other Chinese people, deceiving the world and stealing your reputation! In the Far East's war of aggression, didn't you invade under the pretext of hypocrisy? God will punish you..."
Ivan was frothing at the mouth and had veins popping up on his forehead. This shows how angry the senior officials of Tsarist Russia were at this fiasco in the Far East. It can be said that this failure destroyed most of the people and the fate of the country that the Tsar had finally gathered together. This had a great impact on the entire Tsarist Russian Empire. Dominance is quite unfavorable.
Xiao Letian could understand the anger of the Tsarist Russians. Facing this group of losers, Xiao Letian naturally felt the pride that a winner should have.
"Should it be given to humans? Is this a matter of course? Members of the civilized world, please open your eyes and take a good look. This is the code of conduct of the barbarians in Northern Europe!"
Xiao Letian glared angrily and shouted, "Yes, I admit that human beings are the spirit of all things. All resources on the earth are under human control. We fish, hunt, livestock, plant, and pick... Everything in nature nourishes our bodies." Delicious!”
"I'm no exception. I drink a lot of wine and eat a lot of meat. I also have a great time at the banquet with my friends! But..." Xiao Letian pointed at the two dodos that were huddled together in fear.
"But..." He even got choked up and couldn't bear it. "But, you want to eat a species to extinction? What kind of devilish mentality is this?"
"The way of heaven pays attention to balance, and humans also need to pay attention to a degree in doing things. This is the way that the Chinese follow, the way of heaven and earth! You can kill other species to satisfy your appetite, but you must kill them to extinction. This kind of annihilation Do you really think Tao’s behavior is correct?”
"These are the last 22 dodos in the world. They are of great significance to the scientific community. Do we hope that future generations can only see this kind of dodo created by God in library materials and herbariums? A living thing?"
"Since God created them, they have the right to reproduce on the earth... This is the power granted to all creatures by God, and we have no right to deprive them of this power!"
"Do you think I, Xiao Letian, am hypocritical? Now you can ask the person in charge of my daily life care team. He records the food I eat every day. I can even disclose my diet and daily life care to the gentlemen and ladies present. , let you see what I eat every day..."
Wang Junlan trotted over. He had been standing outside the awning just now. There was no ice sculpture to accompany him here and the hot wind from outside was blowing directly, so he was sweating profusely at the moment.
But I dare not wipe it. After Wang Junlan bowed to the big shots present, he said in fluent English, "Yes, the head of state still has rules for his diet. First of all, the head of state does not drink top-quality wines. The head of state does not drink fine wines that have been aged for more than fifty years." of……"
"Secondly, the head of state does not eat rare wild animals. The rare birds and animals in nature are very rare and will not be put on the table. Once, the indigenous people of the Far East donated a wild white tiger to the head of state. In the end, the white tiger died. They were made into specimens and placed in the university laboratory..."
"The head of state has very strict dietary rules. There are a series of food ingredients that are prohibited from being purchased for cooking in the living room, and the number is still growing..."
"For example, monkey brains, because the head of state knew that the processing method was too cruel, and monkeys are also very spiritual animals, he ordered that the sale and consumption of monkey brains be strictly prohibited within the Chinese community..."
"There are many other types of creatures that are forbidden to be eaten. I won't list them all here. If Mr. Ivan is interested, I can copy a form for you to check..."
Wang Junlan bowed and retreated after speaking neither humble nor arrogantly. Xiao Letian smiled faintly, "Remember, I will add one more thing to my banned list, and that is these poor dodos!"
