Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C2278 Official protest

The meeting between Zai Chun and the Queen was not going well, it was not because the Queen was opposed to the details of the treaty between him and Benjamin.

It is certainly good news for the UK to be able to allow British capital to seep into China's railways.

However, he did not expect that when the Queen and Emperor Tongzhi were talking merrily, the hurried Attendant would bring him shocking news.

When the Queen heard the Attendant's muttering by her ear, the expression on her face immediately became serious. Zai Chun did not know what happened, so after the Attendant left, he hurriedly asked.

"I would like to ask if Your Majesty has any matters to attend to. If so, I will be leaving first!"

The Queen Victoria said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, it looks like the God of Fate made a big joke towards my Prime Minister. Just a moment ago, Prussian Prime Minister Bismark sent a stern telegram to Benjamin … He wants Benjamin to immediately release Xiao Letian! "

"What?" The authorities have appeared! " Zai Chun exclaimed in a low voice.

The appearance of the authorities was an important sign of the escalation in the prison crisis, with European countries currently speaking in the media and among the civilian population, some supporting the demands for release.

Although the citizens' cheers were important, it was not urgent. Benjamin had many ways to resolve them, and he could at most rely on time to sharpen them. After all, the citizens were all forgetful.

As long as the officials of each country did not get involved, the situation could be controlled.

However, Benjamin had underestimated Xiao Letian's influence. At the critical moment, the Prussian Prime Minister Iron-Blood Bismark finally spoke up.

The telegram had been issued in plain code, and at the same time the Prussian authorities had made a previous announcement in the media. It was the entire Prussian nation in action.

In the telegram, Prussia expressed their sympathy to the Chinese and also condemned Benjamin for capturing him.

"From the time of the ancient Greece, China was the golden nation and the holy land of civilization in the eyes of the Europeans! The ultimate goal of Alexander the Great's expedition to the east is to reach the land of dreams at the end of the world! "

"Silk, porcelain, tea... And there was the civil service that shocked all of Europe. All of this was a gift from China to all of humanity! "Until the advent of Marco Polo, Chinese culture became even more popular!"

"It can be said that China is a dream that has been in the European mind for thousands of years. Who doesn't want this dream to come true?"

"In modern times, Europa's rational thought had opened up the civilization of industry, and the strong guns had finally opened up China, but... Please don't forget that Europe has only cracked open a small gap in China's door! "

"The real China is still mysterious and conservative to us. You can use your cannon to force them to do business with you, but you can never convince the Chinese to respect you!"

"Until today, there was an important turn in history. The head of the Chinese army, Xiao Letian, was the first person in Asia to open his eyes to the world. He used his influence to bring out the enlightened Monarch of the Great Qing, the Emperor of Tongzhi!"

"It was due to his efforts that this trip to break through ice had occurred in the history of the Eastern Western Civilization. This was the first time in thousands of years that a diplomatic mission of the level of an Asian monarch had come to Europe.

"But I never would have thought that the Chinese leader's hard work would be exchanged for such unfair treatment. Imprisoning an envoy? And the head of a country at that? Other than the word 'crazy', I can't think of any other word to describe it! "

"Here, I would like to remind Prime Minister Benjamin that he should correctly recognize the rare opportunity that history has given us. Please consider the image of Britain in history, we must give our descendants an explanation!"

"Here, I strongly urge the British Government to immediately release Eastern Führer Xiao Letian, if the UK feels that the Chinese are not friends, then please let them go through the customs. I, Prussia, will raise my hands up high to welcome my friends from the East!"

"I hereby pay tribute to Her Majesty the Queen. I strongly request that Her Majesty exert her influence in this conflict. Long live the Queen! Long live England! "

Bismark was still the same Bismark, old and spicy! He had a clear sense of British strategic thinking, which was to acknowledge the power of Britain and to show no hostility at all.

The entire protest cable focused all of its firepower onto Benjamin, and from its words, it held incomparable respect for Britain and the Queen. This was also an old cunning fox who was proficient in British politics.

You can't scold the British, and you can't scold the Queen, all the bad things are done by this government, anyway the British people will scold the government, all the chosen workers, scolding for being healthier.

Just then, the Attendant had already sent the telegram to the Queen. Zai Chun looked at the recently translated telegram and knew that he could not participate in this too much.

"Your Majesty, since you have something to take care of, I won't delay you any longer! I hope the Prime Minister can spare the time to negotiate with me. Goodbye! "

Leaving the queen's hall, a group of people walked in the beautiful corridor, Zai Chun's expression was extremely bad, he had a feeling that Benjamin was going to suffer a big loss.

None of the surrounding eunuchs and guards dared to offend him. All of them lowered their heads and followed him closely, not daring to say a single word.

At this time, Xiao Sixi who was unaware of the situation finally arrived at the scene: "Aiyo, His Majesty is back? "Look at me, I'm still eagerly waiting on you, I didn't think that His Majesty's office would be so nimble …"

Pow! With a crisp sound, Zai Chun slapped him so hard that Xiao Sixi spun around in a circle, "What the f * ck!" Dog slave, do you think you have the right to spout nonsense here? Have you finished the work I asked you to do? "

Xiao Sixi never thought that he would specifically come here to meet with danger. If he knew earlier, he would have cleaned up the study himself, but he did not dare complain and quickly kneeled on the ground.

"Calm down, master! Calm down! The work is done! The work is done!" As he spoke, he looked at Da Sixi as if he was saving his life.

Zai Chun didn't have time to waste words with him, he strode forward with large strides, picked up this foolish brother of his, and quietly told him the whole story.

"Stupid brother!" The Prussian Prime Minister, Bismark, has already protested. This is just the beginning.

"When that time comes, will Benjamin still have the time to sign the contract with us? "It took a lot of effort for master to make up his mind, but something like this just happened …"

"Tsk tsk …" It's hard, it's hard! "
