Xiao Letian was speechless at this moment. He was very familiar with Gordon. He was a well-known figure in history. He was a pioneer of British colonialism and a good player in external expansion.

Xiao Letian, the direct descendant of Benjamin, was not sure whether this person was Benjamin's, but he knew very well that this person's thoughts were consistent with Benjamin. He was definitely not the same as Gladstone and others.

During the Second Opium War, Gordon did not receive the order from the army to participate in the war. He used interpersonal relationships to actively ask for the war, or he chased after him halfway on a merchant ship.

After the war, he did not return to Europe with the large army, but chose to stay in China to find opportunities, and finally let him wait for the springboard of the ever-winning army.

In this era, governments in various countries were still very relaxed in their management of nationality, and only the policy of talent was the mainstream. Therefore, Gordon's position as admiral in the UK did not have any conflict with his work in the British troops.

On the contrary, his outstanding performance in China actually gave him a lot of points. Since he returned from China, the British Military Department immediately promoted him to colonel, which laid a solid foundation for him to be promoted to general in the future.

If Xiao Lotte's memory was not wrong, Gordon died in battle near Khartoum, the capital of the Sultan Republic of Africa, and Gordon's death was directly related to Gladstone.

At that time, Gordon was already a general and was authorized to command all Egyptian troops. He was commanding the troops to quell the rebellion in Khartoum, but at this time, British Prime Minister Glaston chose to give up all the interests of Sudan.

To put it bluntly, I don’t want this colony anymore. However, at that time, there were still a group of warlike people and officials in the UK who demanded that they should not give up. After fighting each other, they delayed the time of sending reinforcements.

When the reinforcements sent by Gladstone finally arrived in Khartoum, it was discovered that Gordon had died here in battle.

Gordon can be said to be a representative figure of the army among the British colonialists. He has a very legendary color and his war experience has a very mass base among the people.

It is said that this guy still believes in mysticism and is willing to study local religions and black witchcraft whenever he goes to. He even studied Taoism and Buddhism in China.

Such a general full of strange elements is destined to be a legend, and it is natural to receive public attention.

The news of Gordon's death made the queen furious! She angrily accused Gladstone of his inaction and condemned this act of not saving her.

And this is the last straw for Gladstone to step down. The Queen doesn't like you anymore. So the people who love the Queen will give up on you. Gladstone can only step down in shame.

Xiao Letian shook his head and put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. He could have made sure that Gordon's extremely humble attitude must have been instructed by Benjamin. It seemed that the British colonialists were determined to put the bet on Zai Chun.

At this moment, Emperor Tongzhi had already stepped into the trap of the British colonialists with one foot.

"Your Majesty... I'd better listen to the opinions of the British? I've heard of a lot of dual nationality, but I really don't think I've heard of dual official status yet..."

Xiao Letian wanted to remind Zai Chun in disguise that even if Gordon had fought in China, he was still a British man, and such a person could not be believed too much.

But before Zai Chun could speak, Benjamin behind him came over and said with a smile, "Of course, Britain is willing to shine in our country's outstanding talents all over the world..."

"Our ideal is to spread the glory of the civilized world to the whole world. Sir Gordon is excellent. We are very impressed by all his efforts in China!"

"I even hope that more Sir Gordon will appear in the British Empire, so that more countries in the Middle Ages can move into the civilized world..."

Fuck! Xiao Letian cursed in his heart, "A bullshit civilization, your ideal is to colonize the whole world, plunder resources and dump industrial products. This is your ideal, what kind of big-tailed wolf is pretending to be?

Looking at Zai Chun's expression of pretending to be confused, Xiao Letian sighed in his heart, knowing that this apprentice would probably find it difficult to turn back, and he would not say anything if he smiled and nodded.

Gordon's appearance is destined to be just a small episode, and the welcome ceremony must be held. After the guests and the host shake hands, they will naturally make a double speech. This is also the highlight of all reporters' expectations.

The red carpet was laid on the podium, surrounded by flowers, and the fragrance was swaying!

Under the podium were surrounded by dozens of reporters from various European countries. The front row sat out on the ground and took out a notebook to prepare for the shorthand, while the reporters behind were operating a tripod to prepare for the photo.

First, Benjamin gave a welcome speech. The experienced prime minister did not use a manuscript, and he made a full improvisational speech on the spot, saying that he was full of mouths.

Starting from the long history of China and Britain, it also talks about the economic and trade exchanges between the two sides since ancient times, and even the grand occasion of the British celebrated Emperor Qianlong's birthday during the Qianlong period.

The hypocritical polite words were drawn out like flowing water. Gladstone and others secretly curled their lips. As for the two Opium Wars, Benjamin simply described it as two small frictions.

Liang Kunluo Huo and other hot-tempered generals almost got angry after hearing this. "I fucked, burned the Old Summer Palace, and there was still a small friction? It's so shameless..."

"Shut up, what is this place? Don't talk nonsense! Have you forgotten the previous discipline of the Head of State?"

The Prime Minister's speech, which was originally planned for ten minutes, actually dragged Benjamin into twenty-five minutes, which made Xiao Letian unable to help but smell a trace of conspiracy.

The unnutritional speech finally ended, and then Gladstone and others also came on stage to deliver a simple welcome speech, so that the welcome ceremony of the cabinet came to an end. According to the plan, Emperor Tongzhi and Xiao Letian should make a speech within ten minutes each.

After that, a small military parade was held, and then the Chinese guard of honor disembarked and officially appeared in front of the British people, and went to the cathedral where the crown prince was waiting.

But just now, Benjamin and his officials had wasted half an hour more than half. Wang Huaiyuan frowned and looked at the pocket watch, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

"How did the schedule be disrupted? The timetables for lunch and dinner cannot be modified. If this delay continues, how should the plan be arranged?"

"A conspiracy! There must be a conspiracy..."

Wang Huaiyuan stood up and leaned against Xiao Letian's ear and whispered his worries, but Xiao Letian raised his hand to stop him. "I know, I feel like this too... Let's deal with the moves whenever you see them, don't worry! Look, Zai Chun is on stage, wait a moment before talking..."
