416 Unexpected Change
At the dock on the south bank of the Elbe River, a small flying scissor ship belonging to Portugal was quietly waiting for their guests. The sailor and the captain were shocked now. Even though they had done a lot of homework and read a lot of special reports about these Chinese people, they did not expect that these Chinese people would have such a high prestige in Prussia.
The whole city was filled with people to see him off, and the police and soldiers in the city were maintaining order. The Prussians, who were famous for their rigorous and calmness, were so out of control today that they cried bitterly.
In the end, even the churches in the city began to ring bells to see them off. Such a great face was enough to even give up the king.
The captain and the sailors quietly glanced at the ladies standing on the bow of the boat, and their eyes were full of admiration.
Hu Niu and Ping'er also brought several maids from China. They did not follow the large army to walk through the streets and alleys in Hamburg City. They had already secretly boarded the merchant ship in the early morning.
At this time, Hu Niu was already crying. On the one hand, she was moved by her man, and on the other hand, she was reluctant to part with her sister Fangguan.
"Fangguan, are you really not going back with me? You can get used to this place where the foreigners stay. Don't forget that the Frenchman named Pierre will also return to China with us..."
Fang Guan started to nod and wipe her tears. After taking the name of Pierre, her cheeks flushed and said, "Oh, where he went has something to do with me. I stayed in Europe just to study opera. I really love singing too much..."
Fang Guan was right. Now she is a well-known rookie in the Prussian opera industry. In order to cultivate her, Xiao Letian spent a high price to find the best vocal teacher in Prussia, and used her connections to give her countless opportunities to perform on stage.
Xiao Letian said that giving Fangguan freedom was definitely not just a casual statement. He sincerely hoped that this talented girl could walk out of her own path.
In a sense, women like Xiao Letian and Fangguan should be grateful to Austria Viscount Alan. If he had not revealed this issue that everyone ignored in front of everyone, even Xiao Letian would have thought that he had ignored the emerging power of the future world of feminism.
In the middle of the world, the feminist movement was just a concept, and even the European world was still under the control of a patriarchal society. The era when feminism truly flourished was about to reach World War II.
Of course, Xiao Letian did not expect to please feminists and bring any benefits to him, but he would not deliberately avoid this issue. Since his attitude towards women has been paid attention to by the top European leaders, let's go with the flow and do personal favors.
At various public and private diplomatic gatherings attended by Xiao Letian, his wife Hu Niu, soprano Fangguan, as well as maid Ping'er and others became celebrities around him.
Xiao Letian made a clear statement more than once. Although he is unable to change the backward concept of marriage in the entire Asia, he will set an example and firmly support monogamy and will also give the women around him a best future. Xiao Letian supports feminism.
Xiao Letian said that he would do what he said. Didn’t Fangguan want to have his own independent career? Didn’t she want to have a life of self-select? OK, Xiao Letian can give her, not only without any bonds, but even gave Fangguan a great assistant behind her back.
Xiao Letian's actions not only amaze the elite women in Europe, but his name is even linked to the rise of feminism.
This is a very amazing invisible force. If a man is loved by women in the entire civilized world, although these women have no political power, their hidden power is too powerful.
It can be foreseeable that when all mothers in the world say to their children, "Xiao Letian is a good person and a respected prime minister" continues to be repeated, how high will Xiao Letian's global reputation in the next half of his life be.
In a sense, when Fang Guan accepted the freedom given by Xiao Letian, she could no longer return to China. Her career will eventually take root in Europe, and she will always become Xiao Letian's noble moral voluntary propagandist.
They were painful, and the women gathered together and hugged their heads and cried. At the end, His Royal Highness Wing King was crying.
"Okay, Hu Niu, don't cry anymore... Fang Guan will not suffer any loss with my care. The entire Sino-German fund is controlled by me. Coupled with the close relationship between the top leaders of the Kingdom of Prussia and us, I think we are here to enjoy the happiness..."
"On the contrary, you made me feel worried..." King Yi sighed, "Oh... the situation in Ryukyu is very bad. You have to face more difficulties than me when you go back. All I can do is to protect the Sino-German Fund's business for you. Even if there is a situation in the future... we have a way out."
The Wing King really can't speak. The girls are crying like that. Why don't you open the pot? Fangguan suddenly burst into tears when he heard this, "Madam, I won't stay here anymore. I want to go back to China with you. I know that the French are attacking our home. I want to die and die with my sisters..."
This time the topic changed suddenly. Ping'er, who had just advised Fangguan to return to China, changed her words, "No, good sister, please stay. Just listen to the adults. It's very rare for us women to have such opportunities as you. Don't let the adults down."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, wuwu." A group of women hugged each other and started crying again.
At this time, Xiao Letian's army was not far from the pier, and the wave of crowds of farewells was also hot to the peak. The church bells became louder and louder. The sailors on the fly-scissors quickly strengthened the pedals to prepare to welcome Xiao Letian and the others on the ship.
Just above a small building closest to the pier, behind the curtains, a pair of eyes were staring at Xiao Letian and his team.
"Damn savage, you want to go home safely, dream, insulting the civilized world. You think you can get out of here, don't think we will only send a fleet to retaliate against your hometown. If you can leave Beihai safely today, I will jump from this building..."
The ruthless man was Pierre's old acquaintance, French intelligence officer Sharif, a senior French intelligence officer. The lieutenant colonel who took the blame for countless big names was sent to the front line for Pierre's escape. He was immediately sent to the front line of dangerous intelligence from Paris, where life was comfortable. He was suddenly transferred to the front line of dangerous intelligence.
Behind Sharif, several subordinates were waiting for his orders. When Xiao Letian was only a few hundred meters away from the flying scissors, Sharif suddenly turned around and said to his spy, "Okay, send a signal right away. This is the last time the intelligence is transmitted. After sending, you can freely retreat and return to the country..."
After a while, behind the window of the attic, an exquisite glass mirror began to reflect the sunlight rhythmically. Soon, another attic hundreds of meters away also began to send sunlight signals.
Sharif's latest information was transmitted to the outer sea at the speed of light, with roof towers after roof, and then one inconspicuous cargo ship masts on the sea. French spies used such a simple way to convey the news that Xiao Lotte was about to set off.
Xiao Letian had no idea that he had been spotted by a pair of thieves. At this time, he had just taken his brothers onto the merchant ship. The atmosphere of seeing off the crowd was extremely serious, and countless women and children even fainted from crying on both sides of the road.
At this time, it was impossible not to leave. The crowd's emotions had reached the verge of losing control. The special camp's new Hamburg recruits held hands and connected to form a wall of humans near the pedals, but there were always soldiers who were accidentally squeezed into the water by the crowd.
"Goodbye, goodbye to the relatives of Hamburg... I, Xiao Letian, will be back." Well, it's okay, at least he didn't say that Hu Sanhan would be back.
"Unlock the cable immediately, pull off the pedals, and prepare to set sail." The captain did not dare to neglect and quickly ordered the flying scissors to set sail. In front of him, dozens of citizens who had already seen him were squeezed into the water. If he delayed it, he might really have a life.
Just as the merchant ship was about to set sail, in the distant Berlin, in the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Prime Minister, the iron-blooded Prime Minister who put down his thick documents subconsciously turned his eyes out the window.
"It's time to leave. At this time, I'm afraid he's already on the sea... It's hard to meet a soulmate in life. You and I are the same kind of people. I bear the future of a nation. Only we can experience the taste of this..."
Just as the Prime Minister sighed in a low voice, the door of the study was suddenly knocked open with a strong force. Before the angry Prime Minister could speak, the secretary shouted in horror, waving a page of documents.
"Prime Minister, France sent the latest top-secret telegram... French Army Intelligence Officer Sharif had lurked to Hamburg seven days ago, and all the clues pointed to one point, that is Xiao Lotte."
"What." Bismai snatched the telegram from the secretary's hand, and after reading it, he was shocked.
"Crazy, Napoleon III has gone completely crazy. Can Britain, the United States, and our diplomats persuade him so hard, change his new ideas? Now even Austria has sent people to be a peace dealer, so why can't he let it go?"
"Send a telegram to Hamburg immediately, asking Xiao Letian to come back and never go out to sea. The French fleet must be ready. They will never stop."
But it was too late. At this time, the hamburger was already on the merchant ship that Xiao Letian was on, and even Sharif and his group had secretly fled from the city.
After the war, the Prussian intelligence department focused too much energy on Austria, which is the most critical reason for the omission.
