Xiao Letian, who was thousands of miles away, did not realize that the Ryukyus he ran had now produced a precursor of separatism and civil strife, and the indigenous forces of the Ryukyus, represented by Cai Mao, Jin Changsen and others, had a very strict disagreement with the foreign forces on the mainland, such as Liang Kun and Fan Yao.

In their subconscious, the French, the British, and the earliest Japanese Shimazu family are no different, they are just a group of robbers who come for profit, as long as they do not overthrow the national honor of the Ryukyus, everyone can survive even the hardships of life.

The Shimazu family has survived the hundreds of years of rule in the past, and who cares about changing the owner to ride on top of his head? As for the hope that Xiao Lotian brought to everyone, it should be regarded as a dream.

However, the group of people brought by Xiao Lotian from the mainland had completely different ideas from the natives of the Ryukyus, and the old shopkeeper Fan Yao had also seen the ruins of the Old Summer Palace in the capital, and his familiar friends and even the guys in the capital had also seen the ferocity of the British and French forces.

As for Liang Kun, he didn't have a good impression of foreigners, he even fought with the foreign gun team led by the Englishman Gordon when he fought in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and countless brothers died at the hands of this British butcher, and the hatred could not be washed away.

The two factions of the Ryukyus were at a stalemate, one of which still had a hint of illusion about foreigners, always thinking that fewer people would die in exchange for peace. On the other hand, the other faction has clearly seen the nature of the Western powers, and knows that these hungry wolves will definitely not have any benevolent hearts, and the so-called negotiations are a sham.

King Shangtai was not embarrassed to be caught in the middle, the young Wang really admired Xiao Letian, and accepted the ideas instilled by Xiao Lotian 100%. But after all, he grew up in the Ryukyus, and he couldn't help but listen to the opinions of the old ministers who watched him grow up.

What's more, in the past few days of indiscriminate bombing, the Ryukyu military and civilians have really died too much, which has exceeded the psychological tolerance limit of the people of the small island country, and the widows of the small country have such sorrow, and they really can't afford to fight a war of attrition.

The tangled King Shangtai finally agreed with Jin Changsen and their opinion and decided to meet Gong Cheng. At this point, the first half of Gong Banlun's drug plan ended perfectly, and the old traitor who had insight into human nature once again played with a country between applause.

And this qiē, Xiao Letian is completely unclear, in the era when the telegraph line did not surround the world, the efficiency of information transmission was very low, Xiao Letian could not have imagined that Gong Banlun, a famous traitor in history, would intervene in the Ryukyus, at this time he still had the mind to teach his officer corps a small lesson in the Mediterranean.

"Brothers, do you see? The great island to the north is Crete, where legend has it that the Minoan Labyrinth was built...... To the north of the island is Greece, the birthplace of European civilization...... Further north are the historic ...... of Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia"

"This land is incredible, this is the origin of European civilization, and it is also the powder keg of Europe for thousands of years, since BC this land has been constantly fighting, Mediterranean civilization and Nordic civilization have clashed here, Asian civilization and European civilization border here, different ideas and different cultures, although the creation of a splendid civilization, but also accumulated countless conflicts..."

"Brothers, you have all remembered for me, from now on your eyes should be fixed on this place, the Balkan powder keg will never stop from ancient times, war is the mainstream here, maybe one day this will become the fuse of the world war......"

Xiao Lotian was no longer on the Portuguese merchant ship now, and the British fleet escorted him across the English Channel, and then the Portuguese Navy also sent two small warships to escort him.

After the ships crossed the Strait of Gibraltar, the Italian Navy, which had been waiting here, took over the escort mission. The new officers and men will never forget the ship-changing ceremony in the Strait of Gibraltar, which shook the whole of Europe.

Gibraltar was the choke point between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, and all the captains and sailors could not have imagined what the Italian warships that had been anchored in the middle of the Strait for two days wanted to do.

When the ship change ceremony began, the three Italian frigates fired a 21-gun salute, and the roaring explosion frightened the surrounding merchant ships to dodge, and they thought that the Italians were going to play a cameo as a pirate.

It was only in the end that the passing ships figured out that the Italian Navy had been waiting for the Prime Minister of the East, Xiao Lotian, and his officer corps, the Miracle Corps of the East, which shocked the whole of Europe.

"God, this is the Chinese soldier who relied on flesh and blood to resist the French cavalry regiment?"

"This is the Knights of the East who bravely rescued orphans in the Hamburg fire, and the church is full of praise?"

"They are the creators of the Stone Bridge Miracle...... Their miracle of creating zào is no less than that of the three hundred warriors of Sparta BC, which is the Spartans of the East..."

Leo's oriental theme really gave Xiao Lotian a lot of points, and a yellow whirlwind blew across Europe under the heavy operation, and the public opinion circles praised Xiao Lotian and his officer corps in unison, and the exaggerated tone made Xiao Letian's cheeky shame.

Now, in addition to the pro-French newspapers in Europe, which still say some sour doubts, more than eighty percent of the remaining media have all become Xiao Letian's volunteer propagandists.

Perhaps the French intelligence services found some information that Sino-German funds had bribed the editors-in-chief of major newspapers, but in the face of surging public sentiment, this tasteless attack was quickly forgotten by the people.

At that moment, the Strait of Gibraltar suddenly whistled for a long time, and the loud sound overpowered the roar of the salute, and all the remaining ships except the French ships honked their horns to see them off, and the deck was full of waving crowds.

The trip to the Mediterranean Sea became Xiao Letian's glorious journey, along the way, countless merchant ships and warships approached the Italian frigate, honked the whistle, and fired the salute, and saw off Xiao Lotian together, and I don't know where they got the news.

In the Austro-Prussian War, Italy and Prussia were staunch allies, one was responsible for fighting on the northern front and the other on the southern front, but the Italians seemed to have been exhausted in ancient Roman times, and Italy at this time was no different from World War II, so the Austrians quickly suppressed it.

In the end, the Austrians even drew a large number of troops from the southern front to support the northern front, so that the Italian army did not fight a few decent and beautiful battles.

Thanks to the extraordinary performance of the Prussian legion, Italy also enjoyed the fruits of victory, and with a strong ally on its back, Italy's road to unification was destined to be much smoother.

Xiao Letian's contribution to the Battle of Sadowa is obvious to all in Europe, which means that it is not only Prussia that owes Xiao Lotian a favor, but also the Italians.

In order to repay this favor, Italy used a small number of naval forces to begin to escort Xiao Lotian in the Mediterranean, and along the way, it may be that the Italians deliberately let off the wind, and there are countless ships that came to see Xiao Lotian off.

Look at the shrewdness of the Italians, the Prussians use the real core interests of the country to repay favors, and Italy uses face to repay favors, how shrewd this business is.

When the fleet sailed through Crete, it was not far from the Sinai Peninsula, the focus of the journey, and the security behind Port Said was handed over to the Prussian and British intelligence agencies.

Just as Xiao Lotian was explaining the long history and geopolitical affairs of the Balkan Peninsula to his brothers, the Italian captain walked over with a solemn face and whispered softly, "Prime Minister, we will be able to reach the port of Saidi in one day's journey...... But according to the latest intelligence, the French increased their troops in the port three days ago, and we analyze that they may be going to work against you......"

"How many troops?" Xiao Lotian asked nervously, he was completely desperate for Napoleon III's character.

"This is information provided by Prussia, which visually increased the number of troops by three thousand. ”

"Three thousand?" Xiao Letian rolled his eyes and shook his head with a smile, "Don't be nervous, this is the French Emperor's Majesty demonstrating to me, he just can't get over his face, and his increase in troops this time is also Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword, on the surface it is aimed at me, and it is not to deal with the British inside, don't worry..."

Xiao Lotian really guessed correctly, Napoleon III's increase in troops is really not to deal with Xiao Letian, although he is itchy with Xiao Lotian's hate, but governing a country is not by anger, but by careful calculation.

In the Palace of Versailles, Napoleon III looked gloomily at the copywriting on his desk, there were a large number of diplomatic documents, and there were many intelligence summaries, which could be reflected in the entire empire and colonies.

Inside the huge Hall of Mirrors is the lonely figure of the Emperor, since Molière left, he has become more and more lonely, often sitting alone in the Hall of Mirrors in a daze and muttering to himself, and the attendants around him even privately speculate whether the Emperor is crazy.

"Huh...... The U.S. ambassador also jumped out? A small and weak country that had just ended the civil war dared to dictate France's foreign policy? Do you really think that if we have a small setback in Mexico, you will be able to dominate North America? A bunch of bastards ......

"The Italian Navy escorts Xiao Lotian? Okay, well, a small and weak state that has not achieved reunification, and now it has jumped out, do you really think that you can be strong by relying on Prussia? Damn it, don't forget that Germany is only a state now, and Prussia is just one of them... Stupid Pig ......"

Napoleon III would scold every time he opened a piece of information that made him angry, but fortunately there was no one else in the Hall of Mirrors, and it would get out that the emperor of a country would curse like a rogue, and the image of France would have to be greatly reduced.

"What? Damn Bismarck how dare you protest to me... Who did he think he was...... "When Napoleon III opened another document, he was furious with the tone of the words inside.

In that diplomatic protest, Bismarck strongly condemned France's crime of secretly supporting Austrian artillery and war funds, and protested against the despicable actions of the French navy against the Ryukyu prime minister, and a strongly worded protest finally rejected the pre-war secret agreement entirely.

"Shameless Bismarck, how dare you deny the previous secret agreement? How dare you refuse to give me the territory of the Rhine? How dare you deceive me? Revenge, France wants revenge......

How could Napoleon III not be angry, before the Austro-Prussian War, in order to seek the neutrality of France, Bismarck had promised to cede part of the territory of the Rhine to France after victory, and now that Prussia has won, this bearded man actually has no cheekiness to repent, he actually treated the French emperor as a clown.

"Enemies, all enemies, why are there all enemies around me..."The Emperor's angry roar sounded in the Hall of Mirrors again.
