2125 Borrowing the east wind
At this moment at the mouth of the Thames, the Zhiyuan and the British Victory are neck and neck, and the bow pierces the water and draws a long white wave in the wide river.
Xiao Lotian and Jae Chun stood side by side on the bow of the boat, receiving the cheers of the British people on both sides of the river, towns, villages, factories, workshops...... Almost all of them have put down their work, and even the harshest factory owners cannot stop the enthusiasm of their employees.
Everyone came out to see this unprecedented bustle, and the crowds gathered on both sides of the river.
"Long live! Long live His Majesty the Emperor...... Long live the Führer!"
"Long live the British Empire, long live the Queen......"
Long live the sound of the waves like the waves, Xiao Lotian and Zai Chun raised their arms and waved their arms were about to be tired, but no one dared to live up to the enthusiasm of the British people, because they knew very well that in order to hype up the curiosity of the European people about this diplomatic event, Xiao Lotian had done countless jobs.
Jae-chun looked at the crowd on both sides of the strait and whispered to the master, "It's amazing, is this the power of the Oriental series of reports you have made? I really don't understand, how can those things that we take for granted so attractive to Europeans?"
Since ancient times, China's porcelain, silk, tea, and other precious goods have been treasures coveted by Westerners, although in this era, the aura of the East has been knocked away because of war......
"However, the people still have the habit of respecting the East, and in the minds of many people, a few short defeats in wars do not represent the complete defeat of China's ancient empire......
"If you think about it carefully, it's very simple, in general, there are more wars than peacetime in this land of Europe, and that nation has not had a few ups and downs? Take Prussia as an example, it has been cleaned up many times by Tsarist Russia and France, and there are countless defeats, large and small......
"But what about now? It's not through a series of victories that I've regained my dignity!"
"It's the same when it comes to China, in the hearts of ordinary people, including many elites, the ancient empire of thousands of years of civilization is vast and populous, and the defeat of several small wars is actually just a short period of ups and downs in the national fortunes......
"They still respect China very much in their hearts, because none of them are sure that in the war that follows, China will have a big outbreak ......of national fortunes?
"Is France awesome? Napoleon swept across Europe and fought a terrifying anti-French coalition, but in the end it was not a Waterloo? So is Waterloo the end of France's national fortunes? Of course not, didn't Crimea win again?"
"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers! So you have to rest assured that the Europeans still have a strong sense of reverence for China under the arrogant surface......
Jaechun made Xiao Letian's eyes light up for encouragement, and at that time he silently vowed in his heart that he must grit his teeth in the negotiations and not let Britain take too much advantage.
Xiao Lotian saw all the changes in Zaichun's expression, and he sighed silently in his heart, "Child, that's all I can encourage you, I hope you don't make mistakes, don't fall for the British plan! Even if you want to sell the country, you have to sell a little less......"
This time, Xiao Letian only taught half of Zaichun, which means that he did not tell the little emperor in the second half.
Xiao Letian's analysis of the psychology of the European people is not wrong, at this moment Europe up and down actually still have a lot of respect for China, several successive war defeats are only a matter of decades, and that nation has not experienced such ups and downs in European history.
In the hearts of many European politicians, as long as the Qing State comes to power with a strong monarch, it is not impossible to carry out in-depth reforms, and it is not impossible to catch up from behind, the foundation is too strong.
However, Xiao Letian still has the second half of the sentence not finished, that is, this kind of illusory appearance must not be pierced, and now what China is most afraid of is being defeated by very weak opponents, especially Asian opponents.
There is no shame in losing in the hands of Europeans, and the Europeans themselves know that weapons and tactics are not in the same era, but the Great Qing Kingdom must not lose in the hands of Asian countries.
If such a thing happens, then even if the last camouflage painting skin is completely torn apart, then the whole of Europe will be dumbfounded, and they will understand that China has long been rotten to the point of no return, and the previous caution and respect are all unfounded.
"Zaichun, in this era, there are no Japanese to tear the skin of your Qing Dynasty, just wait for me to tear it in the future......"
At this moment, Wang Huaiyuan suddenly leaned over and whispered, "It's almost eight o'clock, if there are no accidents in the plan, Leo and Pierre should start the ......."
"Start what?" Jae-chun's ears are quite clever.
"Hehe, the east wind ......," Xiao Lotian smiled faintly, "I will not only use the west wind to sweep the east!
"If I don't completely conquer the people of London today, I will write the word Xiao backwards from now on! Zaichun, you see, the moment we arrive at Tower Bridge at nine o'clock, I will show you a good show!"
The bell tower of Westminster Abbey is the general director's department of a normal show, and at this moment, the eyes of the two executive directors are already gearing up and excited.
"All the information is not wrong, Benjamin's arrogant personality made him underestimate this grand event, he really only speculated on the scale of 200,000 people!"
"You can see the police force he has deployed and the current chaos, which shows that he never guessed that 400,000 people would flood the streets from the beginning!"
"It's a hot summer, chaotic streets, buzzing with people, and inefficient management...... Naturally, there will be countless unexpected conflicts, and at this moment, the hearts of these 400,000 people are already tormented and about to explode!"
"There are only two ways to solve this chaos, one is to double the number of military and police officers who maintain order, and through strong organizational skills, to restore order to the people......"
"And the second method is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, which can change the mood of the people in an instant, at least let out their anxious anger, as long as their hearts are filled with a cool wind, and everyone can be calm and pure, then let alone a gathering of 400,000 people, even if it is 500,000 or 600,000 people, there will be no chaos......"
"Is it time? We will act on time at eight o'clock...... Borrow a cool breeze from the East, so that these London citizens who are stupid by the fog and smoke can see the real Oriental charm!"
"Open your eyes! Today we will show you what the real Oriental paradise looks like! Get ready and set off the fireworks!"
