Last night was an exciting night for the entire city of London. Countless families were constantly talking about the grand event during the day, the royal family's super luxurious reception lineup, the majestic military posture of the Chinese, and the rich oriental style paintings. The focus of discussion.
Too many people have escaped a sleepless night. Among them, major newspapers in London have even doubled their salaries. All staff are working 24 hours a day to compete for the peak of tomorrow's newspaper sales.
No matter how large the welcoming venue is, it cannot accommodate millions of spectators. The number of people who can witness the entire welcoming ceremony is only about 100,000. More citizens still need to learn about everything that happened yesterday through newspapers.
It can be expected that the sales of London newspapers will increase exponentially in the early morning of the next day. Even citizens who have no habit of reading newspapers will not miss such a historical event. There are even professional collectors who will collect all the Oriental reports on the market. Collect them all, maybe a hundred years later it will be a big fortune.
The London newspaper industry, with The Times at its core, celebrated its grand occasion today, and all the penholders worked hard all night to write shockingly huge headlines.
Mechanical printing factories opened in the suburbs exude the smell of ink. The steam engine drives the printing press to rotate with roar. Newspapers with the smell of ink are bundled and sorted and sent to all parts of the UK.
All the little newsboys had been waiting at the branch office at three o'clock. The newspaper staff had already taught them today's foreign language. As soon as it got dark, the whole city of London was filled with the scent of the latest ink and the shrill shouts of the newsboys. Awakened.
"Excuse me! The Oriental envoys entered the city in full dress yesterday... Tower Bridge in London was captured by Chinese warships!"
"The troops show off their strength! The Eastern Legion crushes the Imperial Guards!"
"Breaking news! Breaking news! The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty bowed to the Queen, the first major diplomatic breakthrough in three thousand years!"
"Let's look at the speech and declaration of the Chinese leader! Everything created by God has the right to survive..."
"Shocking! The royal family has found the last batch of dodos in the world... but the Chinese refuse to eat this delicacy!"
"Xiao Letian, the head of state of the Chinese nation, invested 200,000 pounds to establish a sanctuary for the dodo! The Queen officially issued a decree banning the consumption of dodos in the UK, and the last dodo was pardoned by the Queen!"
"Crazy reversal... The special envoys of France and Tsarist Russia challenged the Chinese but were ruthlessly crushed. Let's see how the master of Eastern sophism reverses the situation..."
Crazy, the whole city of London is crazy, the windows along the street are pushed open, and the sleeping citizens shout loudly, "Give me one...leave me one...God, we are watching from outside." It’s so exciting, who knew there were so many inside stories!”
All the doors were opened at the same time, and the newsboy carrying two large packages of newspapers was instantly surrounded.
There was too much money, and those newspapers were simply not enough. A penny newspaper was actually sold to these anxious readers for three pennies. The little newsboy smiled so hard that his molars were exposed.
I have to say that the headlines created by these golden pens are really eye-popping. In normal times, every piece of news can become a hot topic and continue to ferment for several months. But today, there is a series of intensive bombardment with more than ten breaking news, which is full of various news. Home media headlines.
Countless editors were happy and thumping their chests at the same time. They thanked Xiao Letian for the breaking news, but complained that he gave too much.
No matter how delicious the food is, you can’t fit it all into one meal! Waste, really waste! If Xiaoshui Changliu could report on these hot spots one by one, the economic benefits the newspaper would gain would be at least a hundred times what they are now.
But all editors-in-chief knew very well that such intensive bombing was so powerful that 1869 had officially become the stage for the Chinese. At this moment, all European news had to give way, and the eyes of all Europe were focused on these Chinese. on the body.
No one pays attention to the crisis of the Spanish heir, the conflict between Prussia and France is also forgotten, the Italian independence movement is no longer paid attention to, and no one cares about the aggressiveness of the United States against Mexico...
The focus of the world is in London, and the focus of London is all on these Chinese people. The popularity of Emperor Tongzhi and the head of state of the Chinese nation can be described as skyrocketing. In just one day, they have gained the love of countless citizens.
The streets and alleys were full of talking citizens. They didn't even bother to eat breakfast and were wearing pajamas. They had already opened the newspaper and stopped to read in front of their homes.
"God, it's unbelievable! The emperor of China actually took the initiative to bow to the queen. Is this still that closed empire? Didn't people used to say that they were as stubborn as stones..."
"Look, look at the counterattack of the Eastern Head of State, it's so beautiful. Who would have thought that these barbarians from Tsarist Russia would actually eat human flesh? It's so crazy..."
"The head of state is right. Although humans have the right to enjoy all things in nature, eating a species alive until it becomes extinct really goes against the true meaning of God's love. The moderation and balance followed by Eastern philosophy still seem very It makes sense..."
"Dear...come and see! China's warships will be open for viewing the day after tomorrow. From that day on, five hundred citizens will be allowed to visit the ship every day, and this will continue until the Chinese leave!"
"No, I'm going to Tower Bridge later to ask. There will be a lot of people there, so I have to make an appointment in advance..."
On the street in the early morning, Gladstone, who got up early, took a carriage to Downing Street to have breakfast and discuss some state affairs with several congressmen he was close to.
He saw everything on the street, and there were newspapers from all the newspapers of the day in the carriage. The shocking headlines made him, an old politician, tempted.
"What a devil with insight into human nature! What kind of head does this Xiao Letian have? These newspapers are so enthusiastic about reporting on the Chinese, and he must be contributing to it!"
"This guy is so good at building his reputation. Some kings in Europe may not be as famous as him. So many people in London like him. This is an invisible force!"
"It would be great if he could become a vassal of the British Empire. With such a powerful ally in the far east to safeguard the interests of the Empire on which the sun never sets, how much would we save on military expenses!"
"No, I have to put the reins on this fierce horse! The butler...changed the schedule, canceled the breakfast meeting, and took me to Buckingham Palace. I want to see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
