"What truth do you want? What I tell you is the truth!" The British ambassador in Berlin is also impatient. He is really tired of this topic. Why do people all over Europe think that we are villains who imprison envoys?
Faced with questions from the Prussian media, he immediately held a press conference and refuted these questions righteously.
"The Chinese are going crazy. Can we care? They couldn't stand any demonstrations. They were so frightened that they hid in the East Palace like they were facing a formidable enemy. Do we still have to rush in and catch them out?"
"Mr. Ambassador, do you mean that the Chinese have put themselves under house arrest?"
The ambassador blushed and felt embarrassed to say the words, "Well...that's the fact. It was the Chinese who imprisoned themselves. What does it have to do with us?"
There was a coaxing noise among the reporters below, and the expressions on everyone's faces were strange and wonderful. The British Ambassador also felt that no one would believe what he said, but that was the fact.
"This is what this matter is, and this is what you want the truth to be...Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!"
After saying that, the British ambassador turned around and left, vowing never to deal with these reporters again.
The reporters below were all outraged, and everyone ran back like crazy. This famous saying from the British made the headlines that afternoon.
The kind-hearted Prussian people were stunned when they looked at the number. "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway? God, this is such an arrogant statement. Do you really think that all of us are fools?"
"The Chinese have locked themselves up? Is there something wrong with their brains! Who would be so unwise? Xiao Letian came to Europe as the leader of the envoy. If the UK can't stay any longer, other countries will naturally be able to visit!"
"Is there any need to hide in the East Palace and be a coward? You have to be more reliable when making up lies!"
"What do you mean, Xiao Letian is a coward? He runs away and hides when he encounters the slightest protest? Damn it, do you think that all the people in Europe are blind?"
"How did Xiao Letian fight his way out of France? Could it be that the miracle of the Stone Bridge Heights in the Austro-Prussian War was brought down by a coward? Xiao Letian's bloody flag was stuck there. The head of state of the East never flinched. He would Afraid of protest?”
"Damn British people, they are simply insulting the intelligence of the whole world!"
The whole of Prussia suddenly became a mess, and then these bizarre conflicts turned into updated news flying along the telegraph lines to the entire Europe.
The scholar who was fainted by the British ambassador finally came to his senses. He told the reporters sadly on the hospital bed.
"The British are taking revenge! Nine years ago, when their coalition forces with the French attacked China, a prince general from the Qing Empire treated the British and French envoys rudely..."
"Those envoys were imprisoned and beaten, and some were even killed! So after they captured Beijing, they wanted to burn down the Old Summer Palace in revenge!"
"Now that the Chinese mission is here, they must have remembered the shame of the past again. They want to imprison the Chinese mission as revenge!"
"It must be like this, otherwise there is no way to explain the current situation... Of course, revenge is just a reason. The deeper reason is because the British colonialists are just around the corner. They think they can use this kind of forceful means to make the Chinese people yield!"
"There must be another very harsh treaty that Xiao Letian is forced to sign. Britain is trying to incorporate the Chinese territory into its own colonies! It looks so ugly and disgusting..."
"Imprisoning a head of state to achieve his own dirty goals, what's the difference between this kind of behavior and a rogue!"
The most reasonable explanation finally appeared. Prussian scholars gave an explanation that was acceptable to people across Europe. Everyone was thinking about what else could be possible besides this possibility?
If you don’t believe this explanation, should you believe the British ambassador’s explanation?
"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway! Fake Squid...do you think everyone in the world is a fool?"
The atmosphere among the people began to become restless. The British in Berlin first felt this unfriendliness, and the ambassador who spoke nonsense suffered the bitter consequences of his nonsense.
During a trip, his carriage was suddenly attacked. More than a dozen young people angrily threw stones at him, and all the windows were smashed. What made him even more angry was that the Berlin police actually chased him at the speed of a turtle. Those thugs.
The ambassador was attacked. This was a diplomatic conflict in his eyes. He immediately protested to Bismarck!
But he never expected that when he returned to the embassy, he would find that the embassy's martial arts hall was already guarding the gate with all the soldiers in full gear.
The ambassador was stunned. He saw protest slogans painted on the outer walls of the embassy, and the angry curses were all demands for Britain to release the Chinese mission.
Even on the opposite side of the street, a group of Protestant monks and nuns from Hamburg led hundreds of people to light candles and pray. As soon as they saw the British envoy's carriage, they rushed forward and asked Britain to release the Eastern guests in the name of God.
Xiao Letian and the New Army are the benefactors of the entire Hamburg. The bronze statue of the man who rescued people from the fire still stands on the street in front of the orphanage. The shameless behavior of the British is the enemy of the entire Free City of Hamburg.
The British ambassador cried. He cried extremely wrongedly. "I swear in the name of God, we in the UK really have not imprisoned Xiao Letian! Please believe me, we really have not..."
"You fart, the devil will believe you..." As he spoke, a rotten egg hit his top hat, leaving a mess.
Prussia and the Chinese are in a quasi-alliance, and the people's actions are understandable. The protests here are also the most intense, but the protests are not limited to Prussia.
Non-governmental and government forces in other countries have also expressed concerns about the deterioration of the situation. British embassies in various countries have received various protests and complaints every day, and the British ambassadors in various countries have been miserable for a while.
The current situation is no longer something that these envoys can solve. They can only summarize the situation and report it to London every day. All this annoying news is piled on Benjamin's desk.
It was only at this moment that Benjamin finally understood Xiao Letian's conspiracy: "Damn it! Xiao Letian, you are plotting against me!"
"You tricked me to death..." Benjamin slumped down on the sofa as if his tendon had been cramped. He finally understood what Xiao Letian wanted to do.
"What a scoundrel! How come there are such scoundrels in the world? They actually used the atmosphere I carefully created to be hostile to the Chinese people and used it against me. Didn't I just shoot myself in the foot!"
"Withdraw the troops. First withdraw the soldiers from our battalion and let the guards and police fill in! I'm so confused. Why did I hold that protest when I'm full?"
"Isn't this just giving people a piece of truth for nothing!"
