In fact, during the entire turmoil, only the citizens of London were able to access some real facts. Even the citizens of other British cities such as Nottingham, Newcastle, Birmingham, etc. were unable to figure out what was going on.
Of course they don't want their prime minister to be such a scoundrel, and they don't believe such bizarre lies, but there are too many people who can't stand it, and their hearts are gradually shaken by the overwhelming public opinion.
The British people are like this, not to mention the people in other regions. Those French and Tsarist Russians who hate the Chinese are all excited and eager to go to the British Embassy to send flowers.
The newspapers of the two countries went crazy and began to add fuel to the fire and make up stories. Photos of the previous attack on Xiao Letian were also revealed. Many top-secret photos of the war between the Chinese and France and Tsarist Russia were also exposed.
In their writings, Xiao Letian became a murderer who committed all kinds of evil, a careerist in East Asia, and a demon who eats people without spitting out their bones. Britain's actions represent God's justice in the world.
Montauban's questioning telegram had been sent to Paris long ago, and French Emperor Napoleon III was also shocked. Of course he wanted to see Xiao Letian suffer, but this news report was really not his order.
Even the French Emperor could not ignore the anger of the British Prime Minister, not to mention that at this moment France was especially begging for help from Britain. After receiving Montauban's secret message, the French Emperor immediately ordered domestic newspapers to ban the publication of this untrue news.
But it was already too late. There was definitely a black hand behind the whole thing. Almost overnight, His Majesty the Emperor's telegram was still circulating in the telegraph office, and the cavalry delivering the order was still running wildly on the road. Almost overnight, almost all Newspapers in French cities carried the shocking news.
At this moment, the imperial power was defeated by time and the powerful force of public opinion. The water that was thrown out could not be recovered at all. The current situation was what the public was talking about.
What's more, if the French Emperor can control his own country, can you also control the whole of Europe? Other countries are free to publish news however they want.
As long as there are more than three people, they will definitely be divided into left, middle and right, and the same goes for countries. In pro-France and pro-Russian countries, the media will of course have some tendencies in reporting news, and they will tell many lies without blushing.
The people in these countries are relatively stable. The imprisonment of Chinese people does not affect their ability to eat. They can just watch the excitement indifferently, but there are also countries that are pro-Chinese!
Countries such as Prussia, Italy, Austria, Greece and Athens in the Balkan Peninsula have poor relations with Britain and France for various reasons. The enemies of enemies are naturally allies. Of course, these countries must stand on the side of the Chinese and start showing it in the news. the tendency.
The pen has such great magic power. Sometimes the same sentence means completely different meanings by changing a few words. Under their wonderful pens, the tyrannical and rogue Benjamin is portrayed vividly, as if they saw it with their own eyes.
What was the conspiracy and plan in the secret room, and who asked those people to carry it out, what was his purpose, and irresponsible speculations were all piled up in the newspapers.
How did Benjamin drive the French and Tsarist Russian envoys to insult the Chinese at the welcome ceremony? What did those scoundrel words say? And why did Benjamin have such hatred for the Chinese?
A deep-rooted colonialist and a naked aggressive careerist finally emerged on paper. Originally, the whole world had a lot of resentment towards the British colonies, but now it seems that Benjamin actually wants to get involved in the Chinese territory. Today Wouldn't the empire not give other countries a way to survive?
Qiu Fu! This is an innate instinct of human beings. Britain has conquered the world, and all places of wealth belong to them. Except for France, Spain, the Netherlands and other veteran maritime countries that can get a share of the pie behind his butt, the rest of the world is theirs. The eyes of all the countries are blue with envy.
Now it seems that Britain has not run out of fun, and still wants to expand its colonies? Doesn’t this mean that we don’t leave any soup or water for other ethnic groups? You can't be so shameless as a human being!
A layman can watch the excitement, but an insider can see the door. Almost all news reports attacking Britain directly aimed their fire at Benjamin and the Tories behind him. To put it bluntly, they directly attacked the colonial forces in Britain. .
The Queen, other political parties in the UK, and the media, including the public, did not complain at all. Instead, they tried their best to flatter her. This shows how clever the mastermind behind the scenes is.
Their only purpose is to use the power of public opinion to split the hearts and minds of the people in the UK. We cannot defeat you, the UK, because you, the UK, are too powerful, but isn’t it enough for us to concentrate our firepower on one of your British political parties?
One day, two days, three days... reports about Xiao Letian's imprisonment began to continue to ferment, and the people's emotions began to become unstable.
British embassies in various European countries have been highly tense these days. Although demonstrations and protests are not popular in this era, they can see the anger in the glances of passers-by.
New news comes out every day, and demagogic reports begin to spread widely among the people. The image of British hypocrites emerges vividly on the page.
In the past three days, London's East Palace has remained silent. Except for two chefs who buy food every day, you can't see a single Chinese person taking to the streets.
Prussia is a staunch ally of the Chinese people, and the public support for Xiao Letian is the strongest. The people here were the first to be unable to bear it any longer. First, some private scholars and university professors wrote to the British Embassy, expressing their strong opinions on the situation. worries.
These gray-haired old academics gave Britain a detailed explanation of the truth and hoped that Britain would release China's head of state as soon as possible.
The British ambassador was so angry that he started to quarrel with these old scholars in the hall. He didn't want to take the blame and just refused to admit the existence of the house arrest incident.
People, I'm afraid of speaking out of anger. The British ambassador has been under a lot of pressure recently, and the old scholars are also very angry about standing up for Prussia's benefactors. As a result, they started to quarrel without even saying a few words to deal with it.
One side refuses to acknowledge the house arrest, and the other side refuses to believe it. In the chaos, an old professor actually fainted from anger.
Now the Prussian media stopped working. All their pens were as sharp as knives and began to test the pressure on Britain with full force.
"There are no prisoners. What's going on with the army battalion outside the East Palace?"
"There are no prisoners, so why are the Chinese troops on level one alert and fully armed?"
"There is no imprisonment. May I ask why the head of state Xiao Letian didn't show up for fourteen days?"
"Why doesn't Britain answer the questions raised by kind-hearted people? Why can London, the capital of a country, allow a group of thugs to approach the head of state of China? Is it true that the security of Britain has reached this level of chaos?"
"Why does the British Prime Minister keep evading the Chinese people's request for negotiation? What is the conspiracy here?"
"Europe needs the truth, and the world needs the truth!"
