482 Into the Lion City

Xiao Letian's wild words even Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun were a little incomprehensible, if the previous exam was a normal subject, then now this topic can not even be done by their group of closed disciples.

If Xiao Letian died, what their group of new soldiers didn't say, they would definitely follow the Prime Minister's will, even if they were on a cliff, they would have no regrets...... But how long can this unapologetic determination last?

Xiao Hexin Sima Yun They are all smart people, they know that people's hearts will change over time, the surrounding environment will exert influence on you, your subordinates will affect you, your wife will affect you, and your children will also affect you, no matter your heart is as hard as iron, you can't resist the slow erosion of time.

How long can Xiao Letian's hardcore subordinates hold on? Thinking about it carefully, even Xiao Hexin shuddered in their hearts.

There was a brief silence on the deck, and everyone's expressions changed strangely, only Xiao Lotian still maintained a calm and breezy appearance.

"I see the trestle, the pilot ship has approached......" The sailor's shout from the high watchtower woke everyone present, and the people temporarily turned their attention to the city in front of them.

"Look, my lord, there are more than 100,000 people on the dock...... The entire Lion City is empty...... Look," Luo Huo shouted excitedly on the deck.

"Holy shit, you give me a hand... You know that you are screaming..."Xiao Hexin, who was injured in the knee next to him, took out his crutches and gave Luo Huo a stick.

Luo Huo was not annoyed, he grabbed Xiao Hexin with his backhand and carried it to the side of the ship, pointing to the jubilant port of the people, smirking excitedly and smirking, "See, the Lion City, we are back again, we also drank the wine of the villagers during the Spring Festival..."

At this time, the Chinese on the dock also saw the familiar light blue military uniform on the deck, and thinking about the exciting news of victory in the newspaper, the Chinese in the whole city went crazy.

"Set off 10,000 firecrackers...... Dragon and lion dances...... Pick up relatives and return to their hometowns......"

Hundreds of firecrackers roared at the same time, crackling with fire and gunsmoke, and the dragon and lion dance teams crowded out of the city, and the gongs and drums were earth-shattering.

This time, the pampered British soldiers were suffering, and they thought that bringing out 500 soldiers would be enough to maintain order, but they didn't expect this group of Chinese to go crazy like a volcanic eruption.

“NO...... Don't squeeze it, just go back...... It's going to be dangerous...... You're all crazy......"

The angry British soldiers even cursed, looking at the Chinese in the colonies in the past, they dared to be so disobedient, and the baton butts had already been smashed over, but now looking at the crazy people all over the city, none of them dared to move a finger.

A nation needs heroes, but also needs victory, Xiao Letian's series of victories in Europe inspires the confidence and morale of the global Chinese, and warns all the great powers and colonists in the world.

We Chinese can create a miracle in the Austro-Prussian War, the noble legions of the Habsburg dynasty have been defeated by us, who in other countries is not convinced? If you don't obey, then do it, although a little arrogant, but this momentum cannot be lost.

On more than one occasion, the governor of the colony had conveyed orders to his military attachés and soldiers, and no one should provoke the nerves of the Chinese until Xiao Letian's popular sentiment had subsided.

It is under such strict orders that the colonial army in the Lion City has been unusually tempered during this time, especially for the Chinese in the city, even if the law enforcement has brought a smile, those Indian policemen holding their heads often give a thumbs up to the Chinese, and the praise is endless.

Today, these righteous lords who have given the Chinese courage are finally here, and the prime minister, who I haven't seen a few years ago, is said to be on the ship, how can this not make people crazy.

There were only two voices in the entire dock to the end, "Prime Minister...... The New Army ......" In a frenzied roar, the tearful Chinese seemed to fall into a dreamlike carnival, the queue of British honor guards was completely torn apart, and groups of people fell into the sea like dumplings.

"Don't squeeze it...... Overboard...... I can't swim ......."

"Oh God, aren't you bragging that you're the best navy in the world, and why can't you swim?"

"Can't I brag? I've never been to the Royal Navy, can't I?"

The crowd didn't care about such a small episode, and no one could save those who fell into the water, anyway, in the eyes of the people of the Lion City, if they didn't know how to live, they would drown and die in vain.

A qiē on the dock fell in Xiao Letian's eyes, and the British captains, officials, and sailors all subconsciously took a few steps back, so glory did not belong to them, only to these Chinese.

Xiao Lotian can be regarded as having seen the world now, and he has also experienced the scene of thousands of people in Hamburg seeing him off, but all the glory in Europe is not as good as the worship in front of his hometown fathers.

"The Prime Minister is waiting for all generations...... Kneel..."Dozens of old voices suddenly rumored in the crowd, it was the most respected old man in the Chinese business district, almost exhausted the air in his lungs, and the shouts rolled in all directions like a tide.

Xiao Lotian and the others watched the Chinese people on the dock play with the crowd, and everyone knelt down under the crowd, which was the most sincere kneeling of the people to the heroes.

"Folding life, isn't this folding longevity?" Xiao Letian sighed in his heart, but now he couldn't get off the boat to help, he could only shout to his soldiers.

"All of them...... Attention... Salute..."The 100 officers snapped and gave the latest new army salute, their right hand pointing at the side of their temple like a knife.

The ships were getting closer and closer, and the people on the docks and decks could already look directly into each other's faces, and the people who had just quieted down were agitated again.

"That's General Luo...... He sat in front of my house at the banquet on the long street a few years ago, and I toasted him......"

Xiao Hexin...... General Xiao, and General Sima...... I know, I really know ......"

"In the middle must be the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister is so young? We Chinese are blessed, we are really blessed..."

There were bursts of roars in the crowd, and everyone was recognizing their familiar faces, and the names that had only been pronounced once were so clearly remembered by the Chinese people in the city.

"Fellow...... There is a kind of ......" The crowd was full of such roars, such as crying and crying, and singing and singing.

But as the boat climbed the wooden pier, the crowd suddenly noticed a question: "What about the people, why are there so few people coming back?"

"No, why did you come back with such a few people? Three hundred young men, why did you come back so little......

"Did the Prime Minister leave all those soldiers in Europa? We're also stationed in Europa......"

The good people had already guessed the answer, but they just didn't say it, as if if they didn't say the word, the matter wouldn't exist.

There were three hundred when they went, and only one hundred and a little came back, look at the military uniforms on their bodies, maybe Xiao Letian did it on purpose, they were still wearing the body that had experienced blood and fire, and many blood stains could not be washed off, even if the blood stains that were washed white and penetrated into the fibers were still shocking.

What's even more poignant is that almost all of these soldiers are injured, even the leading general Xiao Hexin is on crutches, and the scars left by the sutures on the faces of some soldiers are like centipedes crawling, which is extremely terrifying up close.

Death is a fate that no one can avoid, even if you deliberately don't say that word, even if you deliberately change the topic, the question of 300 becoming 100 is still unavoidable.

The cries in the crowd gradually became a film, and they also felt that their guesses were not reliable, they finally understood the price of victory, and how could they defeat the undead of Europa.

"What about the big cow? You tell me that the big cow is still there? That's our folks in Shandong...... Our ancestral home is from the same county......"

"What about Sun San, you kid came out, our two ancestors are from the same house...... Didn't you say you owe me a drink, and you'll pay it back when ......you come back?

......

In an era when planes, trains and even steamboats were not commonplace, people's desire for nostalgia was unimaginable, and many people who had left their homeland from the far mainland to the Lion City would not only never be able to return to their hometowns for the rest of their lives, but even their children and grandchildren would not be able to embark on the journey home.

This is not only a question of money, but also an obstacle caused by underdeveloped science and technology, as well as an artificially created gap between the government. These people know very well in their hearts that unless they get ahead, returning home is a dream that will never come true.

Under this kind of suppressed affection, the Chinese people in the Lion City are absolutely not mixed with the family affection of the villagers, and the long street banquet they spontaneously entertained the new army during the Chinese New Year is definitely their most sincere heart.

The three hundred expeditionary forces did not drink their wine in vain, they repaid the love of their relatives with a series of victories, and he gave a great gift that no government in Asia could give at that time, that is, dignity...

At that time, no one could give them such a heavy gift, only Xiao Lotian and his new army.

Xiao Letian, who was full of tears, saluted his hand and never let go, and just before he was about to land on the shore, he suddenly shouted at the people below him.

"Folks in the Lion City... The 300 Expeditionary Force lived up to its mission...... Victorious Return...... Three hundred years abroad, one hundred and eight years of return...... Today, please invite the villagers to watch the ceremony...... We disembarked..."

One hundred and eight wounded soldiers stepped off the board, and the Chinese and British honor guards seemed to be pulled by invisible big hands, and a single alley appeared in an instant.

The British governor who was heavily protected in the distance was already scared out of a white sweat, this governor who would eventually be unknown in history had never seen such a scene at all, and the bizarre rumors of his colleagues in London made him feel a little mysterious about Xiao Letian.

"Oh God, what if he instigates these 100,000 Chinese to rebel? What can I resist...... Oh God bless me..."

Well, the governor's IQ is still enough, at least he knows that four or five hundred honor guards can't stop tens of thousands of Chinese.
