Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C383 Serious differences

The strong and impassioned speech echoed through the wilderness. The surrounding soldiers were all dumbfounded. A China that they had never heard of appeared before in front of their eyes. The weight of history pressed down on them so heavily that they were unable to breathe.

In the 19th mid-century leaf, the Europeans' feelings for China were very complex. Since the literacy rate was still very low and the coverage rate of the news media was not very high, the transmission of information was very slow.

Sometimes, something new happened in London, and after half a year, people in the villages near the hamburger would still not know anything about it.

In the eyes of the traditional European people, in the mouth of the country peasants, China was still full of the mystique of the middle world legends. The stories in Mark Polo's travel notes were still being passed around, and China could be equated with porcelain, silk, wealth and mysterious paintings in the hearts of the people.

In other words, the national image of China in this era did not fall to the abyss of suffering. Only the higher echelons and the intellectual classes in the world would understand how weak China was now.

If Xiao Letian's words were spoken after the afternoon battle, it would be met with everyone's scorn and booing. However, in 1866, especially after they had created the miracle on the stone bridge, it would be extremely heavy.

The guards nodded their heads in silence. "Yes, China has gone through so much suffering, and it was even more difficult than this. But they have survived it all, and they even turned it over again and again. Can't you admire this kind of people?"

"Our history in Prussia is still short compared to the Chinese. After dozens of years of hard work, we were able to defeat the Denmark and the Austria, but how could the Chinese not be able to defeat the English and French after decades of hard work?"

"That's right, that's right! Furthermore, the army of the Mr. Xiao is already ruthlessly teaching those arrogant French a lesson, and it turns out that the French can also beat them! "

It seemed that the Europeans would not help their relatives or reason either. Xiao Letian and the Chinese Army were already accepted by the Prussian and they naturally stood on Xiao Letian's side.

Lei Ao sighed to himself. He knew that Xiao Letian had already passed the examination, so there would be a huge new page for his follow-up reports.

Just at this moment, Lei Ao swept across the crowd with his peripheral vision and discovered a familiar figure flashing past. He quickly turned his head and asked, "Prime Minister?" It turned out that the person standing behind him was Prime Minister Bismark.

The soldiers didn't know how long Prime Minister had been standing there, but looking at his strange expression, he probably heard all of Xiao Letian's speeches.

"Prime Minister …" The soldiers all stood up and saluted, giving way to an alley, while Bismark simply smiled and nodded, and waved at Xiao Letian.

At this time, Xiao Letian had only eaten half of his full, but the old prime minister's summons did not mean that he could not go, hence he could only stand up and pat his butt as he walked over.

"Shaw!" I need your help right now. Right now, the King, Lao Maoqi and Prince Karl are all here, so the atmosphere is a little bad. I hope that you can stand as a bystander and make some suggestions! "

The king and princes, represented by the royal family, strongly requested for the army to depart in the middle of the night. Furthermore, the order he gave the army was to attack the Vienna in a week's time, even if they could not defeat the army beside Bei Naideke, they had to completely destroy them... "

"Lao Maoqi and I oppose this order. We believe that we should immediately negotiate with the Austrian.

Xiao Letian immediately understood that William I and his son had completely lost their minds because of this victory. They wanted to take care of Austria in one go and then completely unify the Great Germany.

Bismark looked at Xiao Letian who was frowning, he hesitated for a moment and said at the end, "Compared to Marshal Teng Field and the Great Prince Karl, they will absolutely not interfere in this matter. They are standard soldiers who have national strategic issues, and have always been neutral … "Right now, we are two against two, and we need someone to change the balance of the scales!"

"Am I right? I'm just a guest of Prussia? " Xiao Letian was extremely hesitant.

"No, because you are a guest, and a guest who has just shed blood for Prussia, your words are persuasive... Shaw! "Don't worry about it too much. Prussia is dancing on a cliff right now. Any mistake will be irreparable, and whatever you want to get your hands on will be for naught!"

"Do it!" Xiao Letian slapped his thigh and said, "Wait for me …" Xiao Letian made up his mind, his eyes started to look around, and in the end, he actually walked over to a soldier's side with large strides.

Swish, swish … Xiao Letian's bayonet flew up and down, creating a large hole in his already tattered military uniform.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the headquarters was extremely tense, and the strong smell of gunpowder could be smelled. Countless rooms were separated out according to their purpose. Currently, all of the staff officers, officers and Attendant s were gathered in the outer rooms. There were only three higher-ups of the Empire in the core headquarters.

William I, the unforgettable emperor of the German Nationality, had appeared in Germany during his reign. She had even been crowned as the emperor of the Germany in France, and later on, the German had called him William the Great.

According to the records of the history books, William I's talent was not really that high. In fact, according to his achievements in his later years, there must have been quite a number of imperial scholars who had tried to help him with the painting and brag about it, but none of them had done so.

There were only two possibilities for this. The first one was that he truly had a very lofty moral integrity and was unwilling to accept the flattery of future generations. The other possibility was that this emperor's talent was indeed ordinary, so ordinary that no one would be able to find the key point in writing it.

But there was one advantage to being a future Historian. That was the lifelong friendship of Emperor William and Bismark. In Xiao Letian's eyes, the relationship between the Emperor and Bismark was like that of the Three Kingdoms' Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

Emperor William had given Bismark absolute trust, and what Bismark had returned to the emperor was victory after victory.

But today, William I and his good friend, the Prime Minister, had a huge blush on their faces. He and his son, Prince Karl, sat side by side on a chair, angrily staring at Vienna on the Military Maps.

Lao Maoqi sat in front of them, staring at the king with an imposing manner, his chest moving up and down and his beard blowing out, such an unfriendly gaze would have been completely destroyed already if it was the Great Qing Dynasty.

"Prime Minister has arrived... Ryukyu Kingdom has arrived... " Just as the atmosphere was dead silent, the report of the palace Attendant came in from outside the tent, following that, two hot-tempered men walked in.

When Great Emperor William heard that the guests from the east had arrived, he naturally had to put on a noble appearance. He had a smile on his face and wanted to greet them, but when he saw Xiao Letian's body covered in blood and flames, His Majesty the King was immediately stunned.

"Oh …" My God... Xiao, how did you end up like this? Didn't you say that you were uninjured? "

Right now, Xiao Letian's military uniform was in tatters all over with holes, all of them rubbing against each other without knowing what they were. Furthermore, his left arm was covered with a thick layer of gauze, the blood on it had already dried up.

Xiao Letian immediately stood at attention, saluted and said, "The commander of the Prussian special mix camp, Xiao Letian... We have successfully completed the mission, and am reporting it to the Chief of Staff! "

With that said, the King and the crown prince both rolled their eyes, especially Karl who was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he thought to himself, "Are you sincerely cheering for Lao Maoqi? Was this a moral kidnapping of my father? It's not like I haven't seen you in the afternoon. At that time, your arm was perfectly fine, so why haven't I seen any wounds? "

But these words could only be imagined in his heart. If he said it out on the spot, it would become a diplomatic dispute.

Lao Maoqi's actions were to emphasize to the King that he is the actual commander, while the other Chinese people have already acknowledged me as their leader, and are even supporting me. If he does this, you won't have the face to change positions, right?

"Please take a moment! I accept your delivery order... Mr. Xiao Letian, you have completed your mission abnormally well, please forget about your status as the battlefield commander, and now, please return to your status as a prime minister!

After saying that, Old Karl returned Xiao Letian's military salute with an incomparably apologetic expression. This was an apology for the rude words he had said to Xiao Letian earlier. Lao Maoqi felt extremely regretful. He felt apologetic for the fact that he used to wear tinted glasses to look at others.

In fact, Lao Maoqi was not the only one who felt apologetic in the headquarters. Prince Karl felt even more apologetic in his heart, since when the Chinese officer Group had just arrived, he had recklessly clashed with Xiao Hexin. It could be said that among the higher ups in Prussia, the one who had the most prejudice against the Chinese was Prince Karl.

However, what happened afterwards changed Karl's perspective. This group of Chinese people had bravely saved the orphans at the hamburger's fire site and dared to fight against the French cavalry at the Fa Li border. Now, they had fought against the entire Austrian Army with less than a thousand people. Karl was completely convinced by their actions.

It was precisely because of this that no one objected when Xiao Letian walked into the headquarters as the prime minister of a foreign country.

Bismark cleared his throat, "Your Majesty, there is an ancient Chinese saying, 'the stone of the mountain can be used to attack jade.' When we are unable to make a decision, can we listen to the suggestions of the guests in the distance?

and Prince Karl had no way to reject Bismark's suggestion. If it was another person, or if it was another environment, they would definitely not let a foreign politician participate in the development of Prussian Kingdom's strategy.

But today, they were facing Xiao Letian, a man who had reached a strategic alliance with Prussia and was covered in wounds and blood.

In front of Xiao Letian, he couldn't say anything even if he wanted to.
