"I really didn't expect you to be so young..." Napoleon III calmly looked at the old enemy in front of him in the gorgeous study room on the third floor of the William Palace.
Napoleon III is 62 years old this year, which is definitely considered an advanced age in this era. His lean body cannot hide his morbidity, his gray and white hair is neatly combed, and his delicate mustache is beautifully curled... Xiao Letian heard that He was still very popular with women when he was young, and it does seem to make sense now.
"I have always been curious...you...the head of state in the East...single-handedly founded the Chinese nation...but how old are you this year?"
"It seems that he is only about thirty-three or thirty-five... But how can a person of this age have such profound thoughts as you? How can he make such achievements..."
In the huge study room, apart from the Emperor and Xiao Letian, there were only two translators left. They took shorthand and translated in a low voice.
Xiao Letian's English is very good, but he only learned French and German after traveling through time. After six years of hard study, his French and German are enough to communicate in daily life, but when it comes to negotiation, it involves a lot of professional terms. Sometimes, he still needs the help of a translator.
Xiao Letian found a single sofa by the window and sat down relaxedly. He opened the cigar box on the table and lit a Cuban cigar beautifully. "Cuban goods? A Spanish colony... I heard that the quality of tobacco leaves produced in Mexico is also good." It’s very high, why doesn’t Your Majesty do something..."
The Emperor's expression turned awkward and he said, "You don't have to be so aggressive, right? I met you with good intentions, but you taunted me as soon as you opened the door?"
Smoking a Cuban cigar, the topic immediately turned to Mexico. Isn't it because France lost the war in Mexico? This is a very embarrassing thing for the French Emperor. Is it really okay to deny him face in person like this?
Xiao Letian blew out a smoke ring and stretched his body rudely, "Polite? It's better than some people ordering a kidnapping without even meeting someone else! What do you think..."
The French Emperor's face immediately turned red. "Sir, please don't get me wrong. I just want to politely invite you to Paris as a guest... This is a normal diplomatic invitation, but you directly blew up my French warship..."
"Haha...invitation? There is no official diplomatic letter, and there is no polite minister. You directly send warships to chase and intercept on the sea? This is your invitation..."
"Imprisoning the head of a country, sending a fleet to attack Ryukyu, and massacring my people... Do you think these are polite? Robbery logic is really powerful..."
Napoleon III's face was ashen and he suppressed his anger and said, "If the head of state is just here to settle old scores, then I have nothing to say, you can vent as you like...please leave here when you have said enough!"
"Originally I didn't want to see you. Even when I left the battlefield in Sedan, the condition I gave Bismarck was that I would never see you!"
"But...I agreed to see you today just because I wanted to repay your kindness for healing McMahon. I still recognize your gratitude for being able to perform precious blood transfusion on a dying prisoner!"
"But that's all... I didn't expect that the famous Eastern Head of State would be such an ungrateful person. I'm really disappointed..."
"Please continue your performance and say whatever you want... I am a prisoner and there is no room for rebuttal. The winner can enjoy your superiority!"
The Emperor turned his head and looked at the city of Kassel, which was lined with rows of trees at the foot of the mountain, and simply stopped talking. If you let your mouth go dry, they will just ignore you!
The Emperor's attitude is very clear. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you are the winner, you can do whatever you want. If I fail, I will just listen to your reprimand without shame!
They are all politicians, and their shame has long been gone. They have all been replaced by bulletproof armor. Do they still care about a little cynicism?
Xiao Letian got angry when he saw this unsparing attitude, and said to himself that if I don't take away your pretentious armor today, I'm afraid you won't cooperate with me honestly!
"Haha... You have the guts! You are so arrogant! He is indeed the emperor who has been in charge of France for many years!"
"The legal heir of the Bonaparte family, the bloodline of the God of War, should still have this kind of arrogance... What a pity, he is just a prodigal!"
"Do you think you have got the true inheritance of your uncle? Pull it away, it will be great if you can get some scraps from your second uncle in this life!"
"I'm just wondering, are all the abilities of the Bonaparte family given to your second uncle? Let's look at the virtues of other people! Your first uncle is just a fool, and Joseph doesn't even think about the fact that he is the only one who thinks about investment and financial management every day. A wealthy man, you still want to get the emperor’s inheritance rights?”
"What do you think? You haven't even commanded an army, but you want to inherit your brother's empire? You must be so naive..."
"Look at this palace again. It's exquisite and gorgeous. It's the ancestral property of your fifth uncle... A guy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long has been given such a rich land. Has he managed it?"
"When Napoleon retreated from Russia, if your fifth uncle could organize a hundred thousand troops to stop it, your second uncle wouldn't have lost so miserably!"
"In the end, before your second uncle got here, your fourth uncle slapped his ass and ran away..."
"Let's talk about your father...I don't know what he is thinking. Your second uncle made his fourth brother the king of the Netherlands. What is the purpose? Isn't it just to hope that the brothers can work together..."
"What did your father do in the end? He became king thanks to your second uncle, but did he really agree with the Dutch later? He refused to implement your second uncle's mainland blockade strategy, or secretly did business with the British..."
"Let me go, does your family have a bad mind? The power was given to you by your second uncle, and the British are your enemies. Can't you tell the difference between good and bad at this time?"
"Turning your elbows outward, you were hooking up with the Dutch and the British... In the end, you ended up doing well. Your second uncle has stepped down. Why don't the Dutch and the British praise your father to the sky? "
Xiao Letian's curse made not only the Emperor dumbfounded, but also the two translators were stunned. There were so many second uncles, uncles, etc., which were all Chinese proverbs, which were very difficult to translate.
But it is difficult to translate, but it must be translated. When these sarcastic words were translated into the ears of the French Emperor, Napoleon III let out a strange scream, and then his newly improved appetite began to hurt again.
"Damn it! You are a scoundrel... How dare you humiliate the great Bonaparte family!"
"Humiliation?" Xiao Letian looked at him with a sneer. "Isn't what I said the truth? If everything I said was fabricated, that would be humiliating you, but nothing I said was true!"
"What did you, Napoleon III, inherit? You didn't inherit any of the advantages of your second uncle, but you inherited all the other junk genes!"
You are the culprit for the destruction of the Second French Empire!
