2852 Sensation in Europe
No one can describe the anger in the heart of the Belgian king at this moment, and Leopold II has transformed into a roaring lion.
"Madman! Madman! The French are all a group of madmen! They are bold and bold! They dare to fight in a tacit way, and they dare to send troops to invade Belgium's territory!"
"Do you really think I'm a weak country in Europe? Do you really think I'm a decoration?"
"Power all over Europe! Condemn Napoleon III's atrocities, Belgium declares war on France! Declares war!"
Leopold II's declaration of war was actually just a matter of going on, because the war had come to an end, and the Prussian army would have already cleaned the battlefield long ago.
But Leopold II will definitely participate in the later negotiations on France, and the account must be settled clearly!
Before the Belgian king arrived in Sinni, he sent a telegram to Europe late at night, especially his close relatives, the Netherlands and the British royal family, who sent the telegrams as soon as possible.
Needless to say, the Netherlands is, Belgium is originally an independent kingdom from the Netherlands, and the royal family is very close.
The British royal family also has a very close relationship with the Leopold family. The wife Leopold II's father married was the eldest princess of King George IV of England.
George IV is Queen Victoria's biological uncle, which means that Leopold II's mother is Queen Victoria's sister.
What else can I be polite about my aunt? The telegram was sent to Buckingham Palace before dawn!
The queen was awakened while she was sleeping. When she looked impatiently at the telegram sent by her nephew, "What happened again? He had hoped that I could support him in the Congo scientific expedition, but I had already agreed to him and let our Royal Academy of Sciences suspend the scientific expedition team first..."
"Why is this endless? Are you disturbing me if you don't have any big deal?"
"Your Majesty, you'd better take a look. It's really incredible..." the maid said in a low voice.
When the Queen saw the letters on the telegram, her sleepiness swept away, and her face was full of angry expressions. "Is this true? It's too much, it's simply intolerable!"
"Do you dare to fight undeclared? Is it now a blatant invasion that I wanted to secretly annex Belgium? Even if I pass by, it won't work!"
"Did Gladstone know? Tell him immediately that Britain will never tolerate such acts of brazenly invading other countries! Belgium is an independent country recognized by the whole world, and no one can change this situation!"
"Yes! Yes... Your Majesty, what about Queen Eugenie's request for refuge? Do you have to refuse it too..."
Queen Victoria thought for a while, "No...one code is one code. If Napoleon III really has no way out, we Britain should accept him!"
"After all, it's a good hand. Who knows what the new French government will look like in the future? There's no harm in keeping an extra deck of trump cards!"
The queen is still very protective of her own children. She must not ignore her relatives who are beaten. At this time, you can see the power of the traditional European aristocratic circle. The bloodline aristocrats are always one, and they all prosper and lose together!
British Prime Minister Gladstone issued a strongly-worded protest statement an hour later, saying that the British Empire would never allow any country to trample on the dignity of a sovereign and independent country, let alone fight undeclaredly.
The Dutch royal family, the Prussian royal family, the Austrian royal family and even the various countries of Italy, also stood up and issued stern statements.
Especially William I of Prussia, he couldn't sit still and not only issued a statement, but also immediately arranged a special train to go to the front line to supervise the battle himself.
The whole of Europe was upset by this news, and of course many people were also very curious to know what was going on with Xiao Letian at this moment.
Leopold II did not release the latest news until 10 a.m. When the final results of the bloody battle in the Snynes town were released, the media in Europe went crazy.
"God! Ten thousand French guards were wiped out? Alfred was shot and executed? There were only one thousand defenders around Xiao Lotte?"
"It's impossible, this battle cannot be fought like this! How could there be such a battle situation? Could it be that Xiao Letian is not a human being or a god?"
"The latest news is here. The Chinese used water attacks. They used tons of blew up the embankment of the Semuwa River. It was the river water that helped them eliminate the most French troops!"
"Shocking news! The Earl Zeppelin of Prussia received funding support from the Chinese and invented the super hot air balloon, Zeppelin airship..."
"The airship had already been put into actual combat last night, and the French cavalry's final attack was destroyed under the bombing of the airship!"
What a good news topic. The newspaper industry in Europe is crazy, with all kinds of accounts flying all over the sky. The newspapers and magazines that day were printed three times to barely satisfy readers' purchases.
The people of Europe were fascinated by the details of this legendary battle, and the print masters with fantasy minds printed bizarre pictures on the newspapers based on their fantasies.
No one has seen the details of this war, and the first-hand photo information is still in the hands of Chinese military cameramen, so these people can only rely on fantasy to satisfy readers' desire for knowledge.
The flood was depicted like a typhoon in the Atlantic Ocean, with a wave of more than ten meters. The entire Snygney town was flooded inside, and all the soldiers were fighting in the flood.
No one knew what the airship looked like, but it turned out to be an extremely huge hot air balloon with cannons facing all directions on the pod.
In short, no matter what, Xiao Letian and his Chinese army have become phenomenal stars in 1870. It can be said that everyone in Europe knows it, everyone knows it!
True and false news spread in the European continent, and the French Emperor in Metz also received first-hand news. Nearly six or seven hundred cavalrymen escaped from Belgium and sent the most terrifying news to the French Emperor.
The Emperor's eyes turned black and almost got angry to death. With the help of the guard, he pointed at the defeated soldiers, "You... why don't you go to hell!"
"Ten thousand people... ten thousand elite cavalry... how could it be destroyed? How could it be!"
The roaring emperor's stomach suddenly felt severe pain. According to the academic term for 21st century medicine, this is called neurological gastritis, which is completely overwhelmed by pressure.
"Your Majesty... Take care of yourself!" McMahon and others surrounded him and helped the Emperor. At this time, McMahon secretly said in the ear of His Majesty the Emperor.
"If it really doesn't work, don't fight! Surrender to the Prussians! We quickly return to Paris, and only 100,000 people can slaughter the rebels!"
"Your body can't hold on any longer. You have no choice except to go back to Paris..."
Why didn't Napoleon III want to go back to Paris? He had already developed the desire to retreat. This stupid war had drained all his energy.
"Yes! Go back to Paris and wait until the situation is settled... I will announce my abdication!"
Just as the Emperor was about to order a retreat, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open and several guards ran in hurriedly.
"Report to your Majesty! Member Raul, the representative of the Paris Parliament, is here, and he is representing the Queen Metz!"
