2188 Gladstone's Palace
Britain was one of the earliest countries in Europe to get rid of feudal society. The constitutional monarchy has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At this moment, no politicians around the world know what the people's hearts are worse than these British politicians.
Although Chinese literati had already understood the truth that the people were as loyal as water thousands of years ago, the slogans were shouting loudly, after all, they were all politicians who fought on the road to the imperial examination, and they were still vassals of the monarchy in their bones.
Only the British, these grassroots politicians who have personally fought through votes, have an understanding of public opinion that no politician in any country can match.
Whether it is Gladstone or Benjamin, they all came out of the grassroots propaganda war. They have personally contacted the people, understood the demands of the people of every class, and also knew that the vast majority of the people were blindly following, and they were just slaves of emotions.
Politicians like Gladstone know how to give speeches to the public, know how to ignite the public's emotions, make promises, and put on a friendly attitude.
Many times, votes are derived from the emotions of the people. As long as you can get their love, this emotion can affect a general election.
It’s all experience, all from actual combat. How to use each publicity fund, how to achieve the best results, and what results will be after chasing back, these are experiences.
It is precisely because people like Gladstone understand the emotions of the people that they have become more deeply afraid of Xiao Letian's propaganda war.
Gladstone quickly arrived at Buckingham Palace in a carriage. After the guards' notice, Prince Edward personally invited the Chancellor of the Exchequer to have breakfast in the garden.
Gladstone was in the mood to eat, so she got back to the point after taking a few sips of coffee.
"What a terrible man this is! God knows how he came up with such a series of combined punches, promoting Eastern culture, including himself to such an extreme!"
"Not to mention the whole of Europe, just yesterday's grand entry ceremony, Xiao Letian was able to circle the love of 500,000 people in London at once. Today, the newspaper bombardment took turns to circle the love of at least one million people throughout the day..."
"Once such propaganda lasts for more than three months, the names of Emperor Tongzhi and Xiao Letian will be known to everyone in the UK, and half of the people in Europe will know his name!"
"It's so scary! This super powerful popularity is already a weapon. With such popularity, many tricks cannot be used at all..."
"I won't say anything else. Just the trick of closing newspapers that Benjamin used before, it will definitely not be used now! If anyone dares to use his power to prohibit European newspapers from reporting on the news of the Eastern Envoys, those who are eager to learn will scold him to death!"
"And as the Chinese promote themselves, they will choose to instill an illusion of civilization, courtesy and peace into the European people, just like the landscape paintings yesterday, even many government officials are obsessed with it..."
"Not to mention the people, the ordinary people can withstand such visual conflicts!"
"Once the first impression is formed, it will be difficult to change. It will be difficult for us to get into evil with the Chinese in the future and then we want to promote their negative image!"
Prince Edward looked at the anxious Gladstone and wanted to laugh. He coughed and asked, "My dear old friend, I don't understand. If Benjamin said these words, I can understand them. Why are you the first to jump out..."
Gladstone frowned, "Your Highness, please be serious! Benjamin and I have a conflict, but that is just a conflict in the concept of governing the country. Our inner love for the empire is the same. We absolutely hope that the glory of the sun will continue forever..."
"I oppose Benjamin not because I like these Chinese people. I just hate the national politics they are promoting now! I am fighting for Britain, not for personal gain!"
The prince didn't dare to laugh at him, so he quickly sat upright and said with an apology look, "I'm sorry, my dear old friend, I'm really out of control! Well, let's get back to the point, what do you need me to do..."
Gladstone was anxious but said, "I need Prince, you can stabilize Benjamin and don't stimulate these Chinese people too much... Have you not understood what happened yesterday? Xiao Letian is just a spring. The greater the pressure you put on him, the greater the rebound force..."
"Benjamin tried to deprive Xiao Letian of his opportunity to speak, but what in the end? Xiao Letian not only got the opportunity to speak, but even dominated the rhythm of the entire ceremony..."
"Tsarist Russia and French envoys, the two idiots, jumped out to make trouble under Benjamin's instigation, but what happened in the end? Xiao Letian's series of counterattacks even opened up the dark side of Tsarist Russian soldiers' cannibalism!"
"A plate of dodo can make such a big article, which shows how great this person is to take advantage of the situation!"
"I can feel that Xiao Letian did not have these fierce counterattacks in his original plan. After he was deprived of the opportunity to speak by Benjamin at the beginning, he did not resist much. This shows that he left room for negotiation for us, and the Head of State did not want to have a quarrel with us at all!"
"But Xiao Letian's retreat is not weakness. When you challenge his bottom line, this person's counterattack will make you at a loss!"
Gladstone slapped the newspaper on the table, "Did you see it? In just one night, the French and Tsarist Russian envoys have become the laughing stocks of the people of the entire city of London, and I blushed for them..."
"Since we are engaged in diplomacy, please abide by some diplomatic etiquette and don't tear your face apart. Many things are closed and quarreled in the conference room, and don't make it so that the people know it. This will only make the people laugh at our government as idiots!"
"Prince, before Benjamin was impeached and stepped down, please look forward to him and don't be so embarrassing! He can go to rest after he steps down, I'm afraid his successor will wipe his butt!"
"That's all. If Benjamin makes the situation a mess, I won't clean up the mess for him! Say goodbye..." Gladstone turned around and left, leaving the prince alone and messed up in the wind.
Crown Prince Edward swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with lingering fear, "It's like water and fire! Have these two people fought to this point? But after all, it's a diplomatic event that has not been seen in a thousand years, so you can't be too careless!"
"Come on, prepare the carriage. I'll go to Downing Street and I'll meet the Prime Minister!"
