The United Kingdom is one of the first countries in Europe to get rid of feudal society. The constitutional monarchy has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At this moment, no politician in the world understands what the people's support is as well as these British politicians.
Even though Chinese literati have understood the truth that people's hearts are like water thousands of years ago, and shouted loud and loud slogans, after all, they are all politicians who fought hard on the road of imperial examination, and they are still vassals of the monarchy in their hearts.
Only the British, these grassroots politicians who have personally fought for their votes, have an understanding of public opinion that is unmatched by politicians in any other country.
Both Gladstone and Benjamin came out of the grassroots propaganda war. They had personal contact with the people and understood the demands of each class of people. They also knew that the vast majority of the people were blindly obedient. They are just slaves to their emotions.
Politicians like Gladstone know how to speak to the public, how to ignite people's emotions, how to make promises, and how to present a posture that is close to the people.
Many times votes come from the emotions of the people. As long as you can win their love, this emotion can affect an election.
It’s all experience. It’s all experience gained from actual combat. How to use each publicity fund, how to achieve the best results, and what kind of results will be obtained after pursuing the plan. These are all experiences.
It is precisely because people like Gladstone understand the mood of the people so well that they are even more wary of Xiao Letian's propaganda war.
Gladstone quickly arrived at Buckingham Palace in a carriage. After being briefed by the guards, Prince Edward personally invited the Chancellor to have breakfast in the garden.
How could Gladstone be in the mood to eat? He just took a few sips of coffee and got back to business.
"What a terrifying man! God knows how he could use such a series of combination punches to promote Eastern culture, including himself, to such an extreme!"
"Not to mention the whole of Europe, just yesterday's grand entrance ceremony, Xiao Letian was able to win the love of half a million people in London at once, and today's newspaper bombardment throughout the day can win at least a hundred people Loved by all the people..."
"Once this kind of propaganda continues for more than three months, the names of Emperor Tongzhi and Xiao Letian will be known to everyone in the UK, and half of the people in Europe will know his name!"
"It's so scary! This kind of super powerful popularity is already a kind of weapon. With this kind of popularity to protect yourself, many dirty tricks can't be used at all..."
"Not to mention anything else, the trick that Benjamin used before to close newspapers must not be used now! If anyone dares to use the power to ban European newspapers from reporting news about the Eastern Mission, those people who are thirsty for knowledge will curse them to death. he!"
"And as the Chinese promote themselves, they will selectively instill an illusion of civilization, courtesy, and peace into the European people, just like yesterday's landscape paintings. Even many government officials were obsessed with them..."
"Not to mention the public, how can ordinary people withstand such a visual conflict!"
"Once the first impression is formed, it is difficult to change it. It will be difficult to propagate a negative image of the Chinese when we have bad relations with the Chinese in the future!"
Prince Edward looked at the anxious Gladstone and wanted to laugh. He coughed twice and asked, "My dear old friend, I don't understand. I would understand these words if it was Benjamin who said it. Why do you think so?" The first one jumped out..."
Gladstone frowned, "Your Highness, please be more serious! Benjamin and I have conflicts, but they are just conflicts in the ideas of governing the country. Our inner love for the empire is the same, and we absolutely hope that the sun will never set." The glory will last forever..."
"I am against Benjamin not because I like these Chinese people, I just hate the national politics they are implementing! I am fighting for Britain, not for personal gain!"
The prince did not dare to laugh anymore, and quickly sat upright and said with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, dear old friend, I was so out of control! Okay, let's get down to business, what do you need me to do..."
Gladstone was anxious but said, "I need you, Prince, to stabilize Benjamin and stop irritating these Chinese people too much... Haven't you understood what happened yesterday? Xiao Letian is a spring. The more pressure you put on him, the more pressure you put on him." The bigger he is, the greater his resilience will be..."
"Benjamin tried to deprive Xiao Letian of the opportunity to speak, but what happened in the end? Not only did Xiao Letian get the opportunity to speak, he even dominated the rhythm of the entire ceremony..."
"The special envoys of Tsarist Russia and France, those two idiots jumped out to cause trouble under Benjamin's instigation, but what happened in the end? Xiao Letian's series of counterattacks even revealed the shady story of cannibalism by Tsarist Russian soldiers!"
"A plate of dodos can produce such a big article, which shows how capable this person is of finding every opportunity to exploit!"
"I can feel that Xiao Letian did not have such fierce counterattacks in his original plan. After he was deprived of the opportunity to speak by Benjamin at the beginning, he did not resist much. This shows that he left us room for negotiation. Yes, the head of state has no intention of quarreling with us at all!"
"But Xiao Letian's retreat is not weakness. When you challenge his bottom line, this person's counterattack will leave you at a loss!"
Gladstone patted the newspaper on the table, "Did you see it? In just one night, the French and Russian envoys have become the laughing stock of the entire London people. I even blush for them..."
"Since we are engaged in diplomacy, please abide by some diplomatic etiquette. Don't tear your face apart and argue about many things in the conference room behind closed doors. Don't make it known even to the people. This can only make people laugh at our government. They’re all idiots!”
"Prince, before Benjamin is impeached and steps down, please keep an eye on him and stop being so embarrassed! He can go to rest after he steps down. I'm afraid his successor will have to wipe his ass!"
"That's all, if Benjamin makes the situation a mess, I won't clean up the mess for him! I'm leaving..." Gladstone said and turned away, leaving the prince alone and messy in the wind.
Crown Prince Edward swallowed his saliva and said with lingering fear, "It's like fire and water! Have these two people already fought to this point? But after thinking about it, what Gladstone said makes sense. After all, this is a diplomatic event that has not been seen in thousands of years. It can't be too much. What a shame!"
"Come here, prepare the carriage. I'm going to Downing Street. I want to see the Prime Minister!"
