2036 Benjamin, Master of Diplomacy

The visit of a Chinese emperor to Europe is such a big event that has never been heard of since the beginning of human history. 【Fengyun Reading Network.】

Far away Asia will always be a mysterious country of gold in the minds of Europeans, although Britain tore this picture skin apart through two wars in the nineteenth century, but thousands of years of inertial thinking is very powerful, and most people in Europe still think that China is very powerful.

Not only powerful but also civilized, Marco Polo's travelogues have long described that country as a paradise, and it is strange that human nature is so complex, preferring to believe everything described in literary and artistic works, but skeptical of serious government reports.

This is like Xiao Letian's previous life, the Chinese people recognized the universal values promoted by Hollywood movies, but they were skeptical of the news around them.

In fact, this is also the concrete embodiment of the idea that the ancients said that foreign monks will chant scriptures, after all, distance produces beauty!

Europeans and Asians are the same, although there are some differences in culture and appearance, but human nature is the same, and it is for this reason that the arrival of the Oriental envoys really shocked the whole of Europe.

Britain deserves the supreme honor of the first leg of the visit, and the United Kingdom also undertakes the security, coordination, funding and other aspects of the entire diplomatic visit.

Of course, this is not a loss, because the real elite politicians know very well that this kind of image project can greatly enhance the national image of the British Empire, which will be very helpful for them to rule the colonies and suppress the opposition at home.

An extreme increase in the country's image will naturally weaken the voices of those who accuse, and when the pride of the people is increased by one percentage point, then the investment in law and order and welfare may be reduced by ten percentage points.

What's more, this is a demonstration of Britain's soft power to the world, and they want to follow the Chinese emperor's visit to this prosperous era, and once again knock on the second and third places that are chasing very closely, who is the boss of the world.

Benjamin hates the Chinese, but he doesn't hate the country's image enhancement brought about by the Chinese visit, so he has to prepare for both, on the one hand, to make this diplomatic event extremely grand.

On the other hand, Xiao Letian can't be allowed to take advantage of this grand event, to make him make a fool of himself in front of the whole of Europe, tear off his mask of hypocrisy, if possible, Benjamin doesn't mind helping Napoleon III, at least to get that ** clan alliance up.

Benjamin is a man of action, and he has to do it when he thinks of it, so at this welcome banquet, he used the influence of the prime minister to start sending invitations to all over Europe.

The so-called invitation actually has the meaning of three points of coercion, including the fact that the angry tsar of Tsarist Russia refused, how could he send a special envoy to attend the welcoming ceremony of the monarch of the hostile country?

However, at the critical moment, Benjamin sent a private telegram to state that it was very powerful, and faintly revealed a threatening tone, and Tsarist Russia was of course afraid that Britain would be biased in the later negotiations, so it could only reluctantly send a special envoy to London to attend the welcoming ceremony.

The same was true of France, where Napoleon III was even more reluctant to send someone to the welcoming ceremony, but when Benjamin made some secret promises, the French emperor changed his mind.

In order to disgust Xiao Lotian and Zaichun, Napoleon III even sent the Chinese conqueror, Montauban, Duke of Baliqiao, who commanded the Anglo-French army to defeat the cavalry of Seng Lingqin outside Beijing, and it was he who led the army to attack Sijiu City and burn the Old Summer Palace.

Benjamin laughed sinisterly, he even wanted to see the Chinese eating deflated, although Montauban was a count, he did not have the elegance of the nobility, he was just a soldier, just a murder knife in the hands of Napoleon III.

"Hehehehe, the British gave the Chinese the grandest welcome ceremony, while the French gave them endless humiliation! There is a comparison to distinguish the good from the bad, when a thirteen-year-old child meets an aggressive enemy, whoever can help him is his friend!"

"Xiao Letian, Xiao Letian, you are destined to steal chickens and rice this time, you really shouldn't bring out the trump card of Jaechun, you should really hide him in the Ryukyus."

"As long as you bring it out, do you think you can still control it in your hands? The thighs of the British Empire are much thicker than yours."

The clerk next to Benjamin saw the prime minister's smug look and quickly poured the prime minister a glass of favorite whiskey: "Prime Minister, of course your plan is perfect, but for the Orientals, they attach too much importance to the friendship between teachers and students, and even this friendship is protected by the law!"

"Does such an emperor really dare to discredit himself and part ways with his master?" asked the clerk worriedly.

After taking a big sip of whiskey, Benjamin stretched hard and said with three points of tiredness, "If there are no accidents, the combined fleet has passed the Strait of Gibraltar at this moment"

"I have prepared a great gift for the little emperor, a great gift to show the strength of the British Empire! I believe that no Oriental has ever seen such a terrifying and shocking scene, and the strength we have displayed is invincible!"

"If this emperor's mind is still in his right, I think he will make a wise choice, Beijing City, our diplomat has already sent a secret telegram, and Emperor Tongzhi's mother has thrown an olive branch to us"

"Now, it's up to the little emperor to choose hehe, can he resist the temptation of power?

"All of this needs the support of our Britain, and we are the only ones in this world who can help him realize this dream, he has no choice, no choice"

As he spoke, Benjamin leaned back in his chair and fell asleep, the prime minister was too tired.

The clerk beside him looked at the prime minister with great admiration, and gently took a woolen blanket and covered the prime minister.

"The Empire is really extremely lucky to have you in diplomatic work, and I am afraid that only Bismarck can compare with you in the whole of Europe!"

"But Bismarck doesn't have such a powerful backer as the British Empire behind him, and without strength, no matter how good his ability is, it's in vain!"

"No one is your opponent, my beloved Prime Minister, my teacher, my master"

In his sleep, Benjamin seemed to hear the soft whispers of his old man, and he smiled with the corners of his mouth curled, "Then do as you wish."
