2214 Endless
As the saying goes, "No matter how much Montauban hates this place, it is a diplomatic occasion, and the Chinese people cannot stop him from speaking, especially if they apologize.
After three glasses of champagne, Liu Dadao, as a chef, could not stay here for too long. At Xiao Letian's gesture, the imperial chef retreated.
But Montauban obviously didn't want to end like this, and he was actually looking for trouble again.
"I admit that the Chinese chef's craftsmanship is amazing. I am convinced. From now on, I will never laugh at any Chinese chef again! But I still have to remind the queen that you should not try this third main course..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound on the table on Xiao Letian's right hand. It was General Luo Huo who broke the tea bowl in his hand.
"Montauban! You're so damn, aren't you? This is Britain, not you France, it's too ostentatious to win over the host!"
"You are crazy! You French guys are all our defeated men, you are crazy!"
The repeated provocations finally touched the bottom line of these generals. Even though Xiao Letian had repeatedly told him at the meeting before, he broke the importance of this diplomatic activity and talked countless times.
These generals also knew the importance of tolerance, and they also knew Xiao Letian's overall strategy very well, but at the critical moment they still couldn't control their emotions.
Officers like Luo Huo and Bingtaro are not from the background of studying literature. For example, Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun, Wang Huaiyuan and others still had some years of private school skills when they were young.
In the later years of war, they did not forget to read, so during the Heavenly Kingdom period, they were the backbone officers at the grassroots level. If the Heavenly Kingdom had not been destroyed early, they would have probably all gotten involved at this time.
With the foundation of studying and cultivating qi, he has a much stronger ability to endure humiliation, but Luo Huo, who came from the market, is different. He can endure one or two but can't endure three or four!
With a bang, Xiang Ying and the others also had a quarrel. Lin Zhen was the first to jump up and pointed at Montauban's nose and angrily shouted, "Jizi is like a girl. If you like to eat, just get out if you don't like to eat!"
"So far, there are not twenty dishes served. You have only picked out so many problems. We Chinese don't owe you what you are. The defeated generals are so arrogant!"
"Yes, the defeated generals under his command are so arrogant!" A group of members of the stormtroopers shouted angrily.
This was a big blow, and Montauban's face turned red. He was the Earl of Baliqiao, the French Emperor's title, and the serious Chinese conqueror. Today, he was scolded as a defeated general?
"Bastard! Who is the defeated general? I am the Earl of Baliqiao, and I led my troops to break through Beijing! The treaty was signed because of my victory..."
Zai Chun's face turned pale when he heard this, and his whole body was trembling with anger. However, what people said was the truth, and he had no choice but to lose his temper.
But the Chinese are different. These proud officers have the vitality of a new force and will never tolerate the provocation of the enemy, especially Montauban's methods of being inferior and disgusting insults.
Liang Kun laughed at Montauban with disdain, "Conquer Beijing City? If you conquer Naha, I will see, if you conquer Shuri City, I will see?"
"Until now, your French warships are still sunk in the national military port. Are you pretending to be unable to see them?"
Xiang Ying even beat the edge drum, "The soldiers captured at the mouth of Tangguhai River are still alive? If it weren't for our heads of mercy, these prisoners would probably still be doing hard work in our Chinese people!"
"That's it!" Jin Sanshun kneaded his fat belly and said, "If you want to say that this French laborer is easy to use. He can do any hard work with a whip, which is much easier to use than the hard work of Tsarist Russia!"
"Don't be dissatisfied! Is the fire in Qatar so good? Do you want to have another fire..."
These guys with disgusted mouths have completely exposed France's old background in front of envoys from various European countries. Every word hit Montauban's heart like a knife.
"Xiao Letian! Is this your subordinate? Is this so rude on such an occasion. Is this what you mean?" Montauban alone must not be able to say that group of people, so he could only point his finger at Xiao Letian.
Xiao Letian didn't care about his accusations, and stood up and said tit-for-tatouille, "Mr. Montauban, may you repeatedly provoke the Chinese people and lose diplomatic etiquette. Does the Emperor mean it?"
"Impossible! The great Your Majesty is not a barbarian! I just talk about the matter..."
"Okay, our Chinese are not barbarians, we just talk about the matter..." Xiao Letian raised his hand, and the Chinese officers present all quieted down.
"Good guests, I'm sorry to let you see this unpleasant scene... But I must remind the French side that the Chinese are a country of etiquette, not a barbarian. Of course we have patience and politeness, but..."
"But our courtesy will only give people of the same politeness, and we will only respond in a more savage way to those savages who do not understand etiquette!"
"Mr. Montauban, don't say I don't give you a chance, I can listen to your reason. Since you are going to attack our dishes, please do it! But please remember that this is your last speech and attack us. If there is another...I will expel you!"
"You can give it a try!" After saying that, Xiao Letian nodded to the queen beside him and apologized, and then sat back on his chair.
At this moment, Montauban was left standing there with shame, and the scene was already here, and he had no way out.
"Her Majesty the Queen! Since this is the case, I'm not polite... Prime Minister I admit that the Chinese chef's craftsmanship is impeccable, and I have nothing to say..."
"However, I don't agree with the ingredients of this dish. First of all, this kind of meat that only the poor eat is not suitable for putting it here. I dare not accuse the head of state of despise, but that's the truth..."
"Secondly, this is fatty pork! Her Majesty Queen, do you really want to eat such fatty and indigestive foods? For your health, I hope you can give up this dish..."
After saying that, Montauban didn't even look at Xiao Letian. He turned around and sat back to his seat, and angrily competed with the herbal tea in front of him.
The queen was also hesitant to say these two reasons. The pork was indeed a bit incapable of being put at the state banquet, but this problem is not big. There are occasionally ham dishes on the menu at Buckingham Palace.
The second point Montauban said did indeed hit the queen's sore spot. The queen is already fifty years old and her digestive ability has begun to weaken. At this time, will she eat fatty pork?
