Who dares to ask the king to pay with his life? Even though a few of the fanatical Chinese soldiers were ready to take action and subconsciously wanted to take action, the commander who followed them firmly held them down.
This is the advantage brought by status, this is the protection brought by absolute power, this is the crushing brought by hierarchical society. Ludwig II admitted at this moment that he leaked his itinerary, what can you Chinese do? Sample?
Strangely enough, when the king admitted it, the anxious atmosphere at the scene suddenly eased, and everyone who had been aggressive just now became mute.
People seemed to suddenly realize this. Even if Ludwig II admitted that he was the spy, it seemed that no one could do anything about it.
Do you beat him or kill him? Not to mention the trial, the king does not represent a natural person at this moment, but a symbol, a symbol of the Kingdom of Bavaria.
Any disrespect to the king will be hated by the people of the entire kingdom, and even if the situation goes bad, a war will break out!
Obviously, Bismarck and others had not thought about what to do if the king admitted it. They had no plan at all, and they were caught off guard by Ludwig II.
The crazy king finally found a sense of victory at this moment. He sneered and said, "What can you do? What do you dare to do to me?"
"Pierre, didn't you say that the Chinese will retaliate against me? Come on, see if I care! This kingdom is mine, and my people will only act according to my will!"
"Even if there is a war, they will stand firmly behind me! All the brave soldiers in Bavaria have died, so it is my turn to die!"
"Threatening me? By threatening! You are using threats..."
The mad king was roaring and foaming at the mouth. If there was a tape recorder or video recorder to record all of this and play it out, it would be explosive news.
Who would have thought that the king would actually use all the Bavarians as human shields, and he would not care even if a war broke out. This arrogant attitude shocked everyone present.
Just when all the Chinese soldiers were excited, the king said disdainfully, "Just wake up, it won't be good for anyone if things break up!"
"Don't you just want to get compensation? You won't get anything other than a little compensation... Offer your price and put this farce to rest!"
The eyes of the Chinese officers behind Pierre turned red. Wang Chen gritted his teeth and roared, "The life of the head of state cannot be measured by money! You are an insult to all of us Chinese!"
"Then what else do you want?" The king completely exploded!
"You want me to pay with my life? Can you think about it with your ass?"
"You want to start a war? Well, I, Bavaria, are waiting for your army!"
"What do you want? You dirty, ugly Asian monkeys, what else do you want! What else do you want..."
"You..." Wang Chen clenched his fists and raised them high, but he couldn't take a step or move his arms, because he knew that what the king said was all the truth. At this moment, the Chinese really had no possibility of punishing Bavaria. .
Hahaha... The king laughed sinisterly. It seemed that the feeling of having the upper hand made him feel very happy!
"Are you all satisfied now? I admit it... so what? Think carefully about what compensation you want. Do you want to settle in pounds or dollars?"
"Do you have to let my mint cast a batch of ugly silver ingots for you? Greedy Chinese, isn't this what you want?"
"Speak up! Let's resolve this damn farce..."
Just when the king was going crazy, just when everyone was speechless... Suddenly a voice sounded at the door of the carriage, and a tall figure squeezed in.
"Since the king wants to compensate, then compensate me for the New Hohenschwangau Castle!"
"What!" Everyone was startled and suddenly turned their heads to look. As a result, they were shocked to find that Xiao Letian, who was wearing an ordinary soldier's uniform, was walking in with a smirk on his face.
"Xiao Letian...the head of state...you..."
"You're not dead!" Everyone said in unison.
"Do you really want me to die?" Xiao Letian unbuttoned his shirt, reached out and took out a bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet, and took a sip directly to his mouth without using a cup.
"Dear King, you just admitted that you are the spy who leaked secrets? You also said you would compensate us? Very good, I heard it very clearly..."
"Then I will make a condition: the New Hohenschwangau will be compensated to me!"
"Impossible!" Ludwig II screamed as if he had seen a ghost. "That is the royal palace of Bavaria. Why should I compensate you... Besides, aren't you alive?"
"Wait, are you really not dead? Are you really not a ghost?"
Ludwig II was very good at holding banquets with ghosts, and it seems that this has become his habitual thinking.
Xiao Letian waved his hand with a smirk on his face, "What do you mean by your palace? It's just two castles on the Alps. Your palace is in Munich... don't change the concept!"
"As for you wanting to default on the debt, it's even more impossible..." After saying that, he snapped his fingers, and two groups of lights suddenly flashed from behind the Chinese soldiers, and several reporters pressed the shutter.
"Everything that happened today was recorded by six neutral European media reporters, and will be faithfully released to the media later, so don't even think about defaulting on your account, you have to settle the accounts for what you said..."
"The head of a country was assassinated in Bavaria. Even if he didn't die, it would still be a serious diplomatic conflict. You want to resolve it without any compensation?"
"I don't use any violent means. Let's find a solution. I apply for mediation at the level of foreign ministers of Britain, the United States and Prussia..."
"If it's not enough, then add a few more countries... Let's discuss how to calm down this matter!"
"By the way, we can also study whether you are competent or incompetent as the king of Bavaria!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Alfred's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a glimmer of hope in the words of the head of state.
Prince Alfred is not afraid of his brother at all. He thinks that he is better than him in every aspect, and replacing him is inevitable.
But the biggest thing Ludwig II relied on was his high popularity!
Popularity is a very strange thing. Most people are blindly obedient and superficial. Many people like the king just because he is handsome, polite and kind to others, and does not increase taxes indiscriminately. Is he still pro-people?
Of course these characteristics are very good, but the king’s task is to lead the people to prosperity! You don’t act like a good person every day!
In Alfred's mind, a good man cannot be a king. In this world where wealth is the rule, the most important trait of a country's leader should be ruthlessness and iron-bloodedness!
If Alfred could break his brother's halo of popularity, this was what Alfred had been thinking about!
