France, Palace of Versailles, Hall of Mirrors.

The palace maids and guards have lost track of how many times the emperor has been angry, and since the bad news of Besançon came, the maids and guards of the entire Versailles Palace were so worried that they didn't even dare to come out.

Napoleon III had gone mad, and all he had been with these days was angry roars and bottle after bottle of wine, and during this time there was not the slightest good news, and the French government was suddenly reduced to a dilapidated house with air leaking on all sides.

All the countries of Europe are desperately publishing special reports on China by Leo, Xiao Lotian and his officer corps have become tragic heroes in people's minds, saving orphans from the fire, pulling bayonets from horse-drawn carriage surgery, and powerful media lì has molded these Chinese into the protagonists of tragedy.

The people are simple, and they love to watch the excitement, and they will subconsciously distinguish the good from the bad. Since Xiao Letian is kind and wronged, the French side has become the villain in the drama no matter how they explain it.

The prestige of the French Emperor Napoleon III was not very good, and his path to the throne was all deception and repression, using his uncle's prestige to entrap the army, then suppress the parliament and dissolve the national government, and finally succeed in restoration.

In the eyes of the French, especially those supporters of the Revolution, Napoleon III was an executioner. In the eyes of the Habsburgs, the French emperor was an outlier among the aristocracy, a warlord.

In recent years, thanks to France's failure to suffer losses in several foreign wars, the prestige of the emperor has been stabilized, and the foundation of the ruling party has not been shaken. But it wasn't an extinct volcano sitting under his ass, it was an active volcano, and if there was a slight loosening of the army he relied on, opponents at home and abroad would definitely be ready to move.

And now, the emergence of this new star of East Asian politics is like a wedge driven into a cracked dam, and the dam that is feeling stressed shows signs of collapse.

"Betrayal, betrayal, all betrayal... Hypocrites and criminals from all over Europe have united, and they are making war against France...... Now even my most trusted guard officer has betrayed me, answer my question, who did you send the order I asked you to give half a month ago?"

In the Hall of Mirrors, there was a crackling sound of smashing things, and standing in the mess was the guard officer who had been smashed in the head last time, and now he was almost on his knees.

"陛xià...... Listen to me, I'm not betraying you, I want you to be calm and calm, without the assistance of the British Navy, our fleet in Asia is really not enough......"

"At present, French India can only dispatch ten warships, of which the main warship is only a pitiful one, if there is any accident in the expedition, our colonies in Asia will really become shelled eggs......"

"Shut up..."Napoleon III was like a raging lion, he even took out the pistol in his desk and rushed over to the head of the guard, "I am the lord of France, I am the emperor, I don't need you to teach me how to fight..."

The emperor's chest was rising and falling violently, his fingers were trembling, and his eyes were all bloodshot, "For the sake of your love for following me for many years, I will give you one last chance, immediately go and give the order and then you will go to China yourself, and I will appoint you as the commander of the fleet......"

"If it's as you expected, we've failed...... I'll think about bypassing your life then......"

The chief of the guard was trembling all over, the muzzle of the black hole was pressed against his head, and he listened to the emperor's retort and knew that it was difficult to persuade him, "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, I will go to the Sinai Peninsula and rush to Asia immediately......"

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly the door of the Hall of Mirrors was pushed open, and an attendant rushed in in a hurry...... There was an urgent telegram from London, the Queen rejected our request, the Royal Navy remained neutral, they would not go to war, not even the Ryukyus......"

The shouting was not over, only a gunshot was heard, and the newspaper in the guard's hand had been pierced by bullets, and his face turned pale with fright.

"Hahaha, betrayal, all betrayal, even the British betrayed me, the Crimean War and the Qing Dynasty expedition, the deep friendship we established was all in vain, and the British also chose to see my jokes at a critical moment...... These Habsburg bastards have never looked me in the face......"

At this time, Napoleon III was so angry that he put away his musket and walked back to his desk, and even put the books in front of him in order.

"The plan remains the same, my dear chief of guard, you go to Asia, this battle of punishment must be fought...... As for your construction, I take half of it, we will not send the army in this punitive battle, it will be done by the navy alone...... Fire the cannon, up hard, and blow the Ryukyus back to the primitive society......"

"Then the battleship went north to find trouble with the Qing people, don't tell me that Xiao Letian is not a Chinese, don't use this childish scam in front of me...... Whether it's war reparations or the opening of new ports, it's up to you and the Minister in China to negotiate the ......"

Immediately afterwards, His Majesty the Emperor turned his gaze to the pale-faced attendant, "Go and call the chief of staff, we must take revenge on Prussia, even if we cannot declare war directly, we must arm the Austrian army in large numbers......

"Go and contact General Benedek of Austria, I believe in his strength, ask him what he needs, as long as we France can provide it, we will not spare ......"

The attendant officer looked at the determined gaze of the Emperor and knew that the matter was irreparable, and the two bowed to His Majesty and then dodged out of the Hall of Mirrors.

"What if the whole of Europe were against me? Our French army is invincible, and as long as we have the strength in hand, even Britain will not be afraid. After the Prussian fiasco, see how I clean them up..."

"Xiao Letian, I'll let you be happy for a few more days, and when your foundation is completely eradicated by me, when you become a lost dog without a foundation, I think there is still that country that will support you?"

"Useless mourning dogs, there is only one way to die..."

In contrast to the madness of Napoleon III, Xiao Letian was light and breezy, and after the secret meeting with B.S. Mack, Xiao Lotian was officially accepted by the Prussian high-level, and the first reception at the Hamburg Garden House was finally held.

This is the first appearance of a rising star in European politics, and the scene is unimaginable. Under the guidance of the Prussian Foreign Ministry, envoys from almost all European countries except France arrived, and even Austria sent a viscount to join in the fun.

No matter how tense the relations between Austria and Prussia may be, both countries belong to the category of Greater Germany in terms of legal and cultural circles, and they are proper brotherly states, and they still have to give enough face before the war.

Viscount Alain, who was dressed in gorgeous court clothes, stepped out of the carriage and looked coldly at the lively scene in the garden, and the corners of his eyes trembled unconsciously.

"Damn yellow-skinned savages, your stupid heads can only choose a weak country like Prussia, do you really think they can dominate Europe? Don't dream, we Austria are the center of gravity of the European aristocracy, and the Holy Roman Empire is the right ......"

Just as he was cursing in his heart, a long carriage rushed behind him, and the most prestigious Protestant bishop of Hamburg, Jax, rushed to the garden with the iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck.

"Salute ......" Luo Huo gave an order, and the heels of the big leather boots of the 100 new army honor guards guarding the periphery of the garden collided together, and the boom was like thunder.

Bishop Jax's eyes lit up, for it was the first time he had seen this legendary army in person, and his heart was shocked beyond words: "O merciful God, these Orientals are really strong...... Oh, they don't have braids, they have a lot of temperament on them...... This temperament ...... "The bishop seemed a little indescribable, and then the side changed Bismarck spoke.

"Iron-willed, pious, commanding...... This qiē is all due to God's influence..."

Sycophant... Viscount Alain scolded in his heart but his face was full of smiles, although he believed in orthodox Catholicism and was not convinced by the Protestant gang, but Protestantism has grown over the centuries, and on the surface he must maintain respect for Protestantism.

"Your Excellency Bishop, Your Excellency Prime Minister, these Chinese are indeed very strong, but unfortunately, they belong to Asia, not Europe......

Viscount Alain's provocation is really too low-level, how can a character who can be on an equal footing with Bismarck have good stubble, the bishop retorted with a smile.

"Oh? haha...... Whether he is Asian or European, do not forget that their leader is a Christian, a Protestant baptized Christian, without the influence of the Lord, I think such a miracle will not happen, all beings are equal before the Lord......"

The Bishop walked forward, he wanted to see the soldiers up close, and Bismarck didn't bother to talk to Viscount Alain, a small viscount status was too low, and his speech was not so level.

Mentally handicapped, with your little intelligence, you still want to stir up the relationship between Protestantism and Xiao Letian? Xiao Lotian himself is a Protestant, and he also donated a church in Beijing, and the core and most profitable Lotte Bank of his influence still has a 10% stake in it for the church.

More money and less money are put aside, the church is never short of money, but Protestants need this face. Since the birth of Christianity, there has been a desire to preach the world, and all denominations have sent missionaries around the world.

China, in particular, is a country that the Pope focuses on, and China, with a population of hundreds of millions, has millions of believers at will. Now it seems that the help of the Protestant Tong Guò Xiao Lotian has opened up the situation in China, and the church in Beijing and the church in Naha would never have gone so smoothly without Xiao Letian's help.

Bismarck glanced at him with great contempt, and said in his heart that Austria would raise such an idiot aristocracy, and he would sow discord without even doing a good job of basic intelligence inquiry?

"Hmph—" Bismarck made a silent nasal voice in his nostrils, and strode after the Bishop, leaving the embarrassed Viscount standing still.

At this time, the bishop was standing in front of Xiao Hexin, and the elder's kind gaze fell on him: "Young man, can you understand German? Can you speak English?"

Xiao Hexin can become one of the three heroes of the new army, and there is absolutely no problem with his IQ, and now his German level is enough for daily conversations.

"My lord, I can easily converse in German, and I can also speak some ......English," he said and gave a standard military salute. At this time, it was obvious that Xiao Letian had the benefits of letting them practice hard in the queue and military appearance, and Lisuo's military salute naturally revealed the discipline unique to iron-blooded soldiers.

Bishop Yax has read countless people in his life, and his eyes are unusually vicious, Xiao Hexin's spirit is not like a palace guard, this is a real elite teacher.

The moved bishop even touched Xiao Hexin's neck on the left side, "My child, can you tell me how this scar came from?"
