2036 Diplomatic Master Benjamin

Such a big thing that the Chinese emperor visited Europe is really rare in the ages. He has never heard of it since the moment humans began to record history.

In the minds of Europeans, the distant Asia is always a mysterious country of gold. Although Britain tore the painted skin apart in two wars in the 19th century, the inertial thought for thousands of years is very powerful. Most of the European people still think that the distant China is very powerful.

Not only are they powerful but also civilized and polite. Marco Polo's travelogues have long described that country as a paradise. It is strange that human nature is so complex. They prefer to believe everything described in literary and artistic works, but are skeptical about serious government reports.

This is like Xiao Letian's previous life. Chinese people are extremely acknowledging the universal values ​​promoted by Hollywood movies, but they are skeptical about the news around them.

This is actually a concrete manifestation of the ancients' idea that "foreign monks can recite scriptures". After all, distance creates beauty!

Europeans and Asians are the same. Although their culture and appearance are somewhat different, their human nature is the same. It is precisely because of this that the arrival of the Oriental Envoy truly shocked the whole of Europe.

The UK deserves the supreme honor of its first stop visit, and the UK also undertakes the security, coordination, funding and other aspects of the entire diplomatic visit. It can be said that the UK pays out of its own pocket to supplement this state visit.

Of course, this deal is not a loss, because real elite politicians are very clear that this image project can greatly enhance the national image of the British Empire, which is very helpful for their rule of the colonies and suppressing domestic opposition forces.

The extreme improvement of the national image can naturally make the accusation voices weaker and weaker. When the pride of the people increases by one percentage point, then the investment in public security and welfare may drop by ten percentage points.

More importantly, this is a barely demonstrated soft power by Britain to the world. They will continue to visit the Chinese emperor in this prosperous era and once again knock on the second and third places who are chasing closely. Who is the world's boss?

Benjamin hates the Chinese people, but he will not hate the improvement of the national image brought about by the Chinese people's visits, so he has to prepare for both ways. On the one hand, he must do this diplomatic event extremely grandly.

On the other hand, Xiao Letian cannot take advantage of this grand event. He wants to make a fool of himself in front of the whole of Europe and tear his hypocritical mask. If possible, Benjamin would not mind helping Napoleon III, at least to build up the anti-China alliance.

Benjamin is an action-oriented person and needs to do it when he thinks about 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 letter actually has a three-point compulsion, including the angry Tsar of Tsarist Russia refused, so how could he send special envoys to attend the welcome ceremony of the hostile monarch?

But at the critical moment, Benjamin went to a private telegram to make a statement and vaguely revealed a threatening tone. Tsarist Russia was of course afraid that Britain would stumble in the later negotiations, so he could only reluctantly send a special envoy to London to attend the welcome ceremony.

Similarly, France is the same. Napoleon III is even more reluctant to send people to attend this welcome ceremony, but when Benjamin made some secret promises, the French emperor also changed his attitude.

In order to disgust Xiao Letian and Zaichun, Napoleon III even sent the Chinese conquerors, Montauban, Duke of Baliqiao, who commanded the British and French forces to defeat Senggelinqin's cavalry outside Beijing. It was him who led the army to attack Sijiu City and burned the Old Summer Palace.

Benjamin smiled sinisterly, and he even wanted to see the Chinese people being defeated. Although Montauban was an earl, he did not have the elegant temperament of a nobleman. He was just a soldier, just a murderous knife in the hands of Napoleon III.

"Hahaha... Britain gave the greatest welcome ceremony to the Chinese, but the French gave them endless humiliation! Only by comparing can we distinguish between good and 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 lose rice this time. You really shouldn't bring out the ace of Zaichun, you really should hide him in Ryukyu..."

"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 you..."

The clerk beside Benjamin saw the Prime Minister's pride and quickly poured the Prime Minister a cup of favorite whiskey. "Prime Minister, your plan is of course perfect, but for Orientals, they attach too much importance to the friendship between teachers and students... Even this friendship is protected by the law!"

"So an emperor really dares to part ways with his master?" the clerk asked worriedly.

After taking a big sip of whiskey, Benjamin stretched hard and said with three points of fatigue, "If nothing unexpected happens, the United Fleet has passed the Strait of Gibraltar at this moment..."

"I prepared a big gift for the little emperor, a big gift that demonstrates the strength of the British Empire! I believe that no oriental person has ever seen such a terrifying and shocking scene. The strength we show is invincible!"

"If this emperor's mind is still normal, I think he will make a wise choice... Our diplomat in Beijing has sent a secret telegram, and Emperor Tongzhi's mother has already sent us an olive branch..."

"Now, it depends on how the little emperor will choose... Haha, can he resist the temptation of power? He personally took charge of a new army, an army that completely obeyed him, and used this force to completely control the power of the empire!"

"All this requires the support of our UK. Only we can help him realize this dream in this world... He has no choice, no choice..."

As he said that, Benjamin leaned against the chair and fell asleep deeply. The Prime Minister was too tired.

The clerk beside him looked at the Prime Minister with great admiration, gently put a wool blanket on him and covered him with it.

"It's really a great luck to have you in the empire... I'm afraid only Pesme in Europe can compare with you!"

"But behind Bismey is not a strong backer as the British Empire. Without strength, even if you have excellent abilities, it will be futile!"

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