Some people say that heroes must have lofty morals and a good heart, and this is true, and it is also nonsense to say nonsense.

Genghis Khan was a hero of the Mongols, and the entire steppe people even revered him as the god of war, but what about him in the eyes of the Southern Song Dynasty, in the eyes of the Tangut people, and in the eyes of the Europeans?

There are also Wei Qing and Huo Quai, who went on an expedition to Mobei during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who are of course great heroes for the Chinese nation, but what about the Huns?

The so-called heroes are relative, and the heroes admired by a country and nation may be the enemies hated by other nations, executioners, and murderers.

is like Xiao Letian, he is a well-deserved hero in the hearts of the Ryukyu Kingdom and countless Han people who have opened their eyes to the world, but for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, for those who are rotten Confucian, his image is complicated.

The world has studied China for thousands of years, and they know how huge China's population and territory are, and how much wealth this nation has accumulated over the long years.

What's more, their history is too long, and there are too many experiences left in the history books, whether they are failures or successes, which are the intangible wealth that the Chinese have.

"This terrible nation, can not give them a chance, as long as a heroic figure raises his arms, as long as he can mobilize these tangible and intangible wealth, then this Chinese dragon will break free from the shackles of the alien race on him, and thus soar to the sky......"

"That's right, we Europeans should really be grateful to the Jurchens, that is, the Manchus for their rule over the Han people, they are really our good helpers, it is precisely because of their 200 years of rule that countless chains of restraint have been nailed to the body of this divine dragon, especially their suppression of the people's hearts, has cut off the soil for breeding heroes......"

"This is a good time that has not been seen in thousands of years, we Europeans must seize every minute and every second to rush forward, we must widen the technological generation gap with the Chinese, we must try our best to drain their people's wealth, every time we are strong, the Chinese dragon will be weakened......"

"That's the fundamental reason why I refuse to work with the Chinese, because we can't let them share our technology in vain, and we can't let them know the military theories we've summed up over hundreds of years of warfare." All these things that can make Chinese stronger must be guarded to the death, and Chinese must not be allowed to ......."

Prince Karl shouted loudly, and his noisy beard jumped with it, and he had a different sense of humor from a distance. I have to admit that his theory is indeed very marketable in Europe, and it is also in line with the interests of the European powers.

But his remarks became a little ridiculous as soon as the latest intelligence arrived in Frankfurt. When the prince heard the information, his eyes widened wider than the brass bell.

"What? Xiao Lotian lost his temper? Why is it different from what the previous intelligence shows? In the Ryukyu Campaign, in several conflicts in the Qing Kingdom, his appearance has never been so weak, are you mistaken?"

Old Moltke shook his head, "I don't know about others, I am still very familiar with this Paul, in the previous Prussian-Danish War, the intelligence officers he led, sent back a total of 120 important information, not a single one of them was missing, I believe his Su zhì ......"

With the endorsement of Old Moltke, no one doubted this information, and now even William I sighed: "It seems that the Chinese have indeed been castrated by the enslaved rule of the Manchurians, and such a woman's heartfelt political zhì family can actually be called heroes?"

Bismarck also sighed regretfully, "Yes, three hundred infantry can attack Besançon to rescue the prime minister, eight hundred French cavalry are helpless against them, and the French casualty rate is far greater than theirs, if such a victory is worth crying, then our European military strategists may have to hang......"

"It turns out that Your Royal Highness, your worries are meaningless, Xiao Letian can only be regarded as a relatively good political strategist and a barely passing military strategist, such a person will help Chinese become richer and stronger, if you say hegemony, this possibility is really very small......"

At this point in the luncheon discussion, three votes were in favor of in-depth cooperation with the Chinese, and only Prince Karl was still against.

"Didn't Xiao Lotian deliberately paralyze us? What if everything was a show? Isn't there an allusion to the Chinese story?" Karl was still unwilling to give up his point of view.

"Enough, Your Royal Highness, please don't be so stubborn? Xiao Letian is not a fool, and he won't be so fake for show, he only died more than 140 people, and he cried until he collapsed, and in modern warfare, thousands of people died at that time?"

"Listen to what those merchants said about the rebellion that happened in China, the rebels even coerced hundreds of thousands of people to force them to attack the castle fortress with their bare hands, and even killed and wounded 100,000 people in a battle.

Bismarck was a little angry, and his tone gradually became unkind, he felt that Karl was really not a qualified heir to the empire, and he held a grudge against him for the conflict in the new barracks in Hamburg, which was too narrow-minded.

"In addition, I would also like to remind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the foreign policy of the Empire must and can only be decided by me alone, and if you think that you can do a good job of diplomacy by relying on banditry, then I can choose to resign..."

The iron-blooded prime minister is ruthlessly revealing the bottom of the old man, and the words are directed at the farce of Carl's last robbery of silver, and Carl's face is flushed with excitement in one sentence.

"Oh, I'm not feeling well, I'll take my leave..."Karl blushed and turned his head to leave.

Prince Karl, that is, the later Emperor Frederick III of the Hundred Days, the history records that the relationship between him and Bismarck has always been very bad, Bismarck has always looked down on the reckless crown prince, and Prince Karl even less looks down on Bismarck's domineering power to dominate the government.

Originally, this pair of monarchs and ministers in history should have staged a wonderful political struggle, but God did not fulfill people's wishes, and Frederick III died after only 100 days on the throne because of throat cancer.

Fortunately, his son, the last emperor of Germany, Wilhelm II avenged him, and Bismarck was finally expelled.

With three votes in favor and one abstention, Xiao Lotian finally got over a hidden difficulty, and the Prussian state began to act, and various filings began to be filed against possible retaliation against the French.

Xiao Letian's special train has been raised to the same level as the king, and all the stations, bridges, and terrain complexities where the train passes have been blocked by troops.

The Berlin Foreign Ministry, on Bismarck's orders, began to send intensive top-secret telegrams to ambassadors abroad, asking them to immediately contact the governments of various countries, hoping to remain calm in the coming storm and not to be in the same boat as the French.

Even William I wrote a heartfelt letter to Queen Victoria, hoping that his cousin would calm down the British politicians and not go crazy with the French.

The Germans had a very accurate premonition, and when the tragedy of Besançon and the humiliating defeat on the border reached Versailles, Napoleon III was completely furious, and the emperor, who had made his fortune by suppressing the National Assembly, had never been so angry in his life.

The glass windows in the Mirror Palace were smashed by a mess of debris, and the glass ballasts rolled all over the ground.

"Shame, shame for France, the empire has raised so many troops, it can't even solve such a little banditry, and the dignity of France has been completely trampled on the ground......"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, this attack was indeed unexpected...... No one could have imagined that Chinese would be so bold as to dare to invade our French territory...... In addition, due to the Franco-Swiss border near Besançon, the army here is not the highest ...... of the Imperial army."

Before the guard could finish his sentence, an inkwell grazed his head and flew out, smashing on the floor with a thud, blood and ink flowing from his forehead.

"I don't want to listen to explanations, all justifications are invalid...... Whatever your reason, remember that those are Chinese, who have degenerated into ignorant savages Chinese...... Six years ago we conquered their capital, burned their royal palace, they didn't even dare to protest, how dare they invade our French territory now......"

"Summons the Chinese ambassador and issue a solemn protest to him, I will declare war on China......"

The guard officer with his head covered in ink and blood didn't dare to clean up his wounds at all, he still stood straight, and when he heard the words of His Majesty the Emperor, who was obviously confused, he quickly explained.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, please calm your anger...... We can't summon the Chinese ambassador ......"

"Idiot, pig, are you going to be angry with me? As the emperor of France, can't I summon the envoys of a barbarian country?"

The guard officer plucked up the courage and replied loudly, "Your Majesty...... It's not what you think, the Qing Empire didn't send envoys to Europe at all? Paris didn't have an ambassador to Chinese, and although Xiao Lotian was a Chinese, his official position was the prime minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and these were soldiers legally speaking, they belonged to the Ryukyu Kingdom......"

Napoleon III's face was as red as a pig's liver, "Idiot, why didn't you say it earlier... Don't think that I don't have a way to deal with you, these cunning Chinese, give me my orders, mobilize all the French fleets in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and assemble to bombard this damned Ryukyu ......"

The guard officer didn't dare to slack off, turned his head and ran out, listening to the emperor's frantic shouts behind him, he was about to cry.

"Your Majesty can't do it, this is a chaotic fate...... Our naval forces in Asia are already weak, and if they were concentrated in the Ryukyus, if there was a mistake, our French colonies would not have a fleet to protect them......"

"Britain, the United States, Russia, and even weak naval powers like the Netherlands and Prussia will take advantage of the chaos to seize the ...... of our colonies No, no, no, I'd rather die myself than issue such a disorderly order, and I'm going to hide this order as best I can, and delay it as long as possible......"

Behind him, the irascible French emperor cried out like a mad dog, "War, war... I'm going to destroy the Ryukyu Kingdom, I'm going to bombard China again, this time I'm going to burn down the Forbidden City......"
