C407 Arrogant Count de Beer

The Count de Beer ate an entire bread crab, a dozen raw oysters, a lobster and countless of sashimi, Arctic shrimps, caviar … There were also various foods that Xiao Letian couldn't even name. When Count de Beer took off the napkin from his neck and threw it on the table, Xiao Letian realized that he had already drank three beers in a row.

"Ugh …" Count de Beer let out a long burp. Only now did he use his right eye to look at Xiao Letian. Do you think I'm rude? But you must remember, what I have done is never as much as what you have done! "

With a "pa" sound, a folder was thrown onto the table. "Explain to me!" "I want your explanation …"

Xiao Letian opened the folder and saw that he was also stunned. Inside the folder, there were actually a stack of photos of Viscount Ah Lan.

Count de Beer was like an old fox as he sneered, "Do you think your defenses can block my eyes and ears? You used such a despicable method to capture Viscount Ah Lan and then used such a hooligan's act to blackmail him. May I ask why his shares in the Netherlands were transferred away? May I ask why Ah Lan's collected battleship blueprints have disappeared? "

"Hehe, you, Xiao Letian, can deceive all of Europe, but not us, the British. From the very beginning, all of your plans with Bismark, were under the watch of our British intelligence agencies … "To us, you are now a transparent person!"

He was domineering and frank. With the support of absolute strength, there was no need for conspiracy and plotting. He just directly told you, 'I have control over everything about you, and you don't even have the right to peep at me'.

Xiao Letian was momentarily at a loss for words. He was a little unable to comprehend the Count de Beer's methods, and logically speaking, I wouldn't even be able to show my face in a small scheme like this. It wouldn't even be surprising if a councilor, a diplomat, or even his enemy, Napoleon III, jumped out to find me. You, the distinguished Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the head of the British Empire, came running to find trouble with me, the chief of the East Asian island nation?

Aren't you afraid of dropping the price? However, he could only think about it. He couldn't say such words out loud.

He looked at Xiao Letian who seemed to be speechless and felt incomparably refreshed in his heart, "Although Viscount Ah Lan looks down on me, he is also the main noble of the Habsburg … "Now that you are able to insult a viscount, you will insult a Count in the future. The order of the western society depends on the nobility and the elites. This is not the barbaric world of your East Asia …"

The more Count de Beer spoke, the more excited he became. If it wasn't for the fact that his legs were useless due to the gout, he probably would have jumped up and shouted loudly. Just like that, the tableware on the table started to flutter around in his hands.

"You barbarians, for thousands of years, you only know how to change dynasties. The royal family and nobles killed wave after wave, and you always repeat the bloody and barbaric process of changing dynasties … What did it change into? The most populous Han Chinese have been ruled by foreign races for hundreds of years... I am looking down on you, I am looking down on you Chinese people! "

The Chinese officer s were so angry that the veins on their necks popped. If not for Xiao Letian who shook them, they would have rushed forward to tear them apart.

De Bi stared at Xiao Letian arrogantly, as if he was intentionally causing Xiao Letian trouble. "What's wrong? Are you not convinced? Are you trying to refute me? Hehe, forget about us European gentlemen, even that poor and weak Japanese scholar looks down on you. Isn't there a saying, 'There is no China after the Cliffs …' Isn't this saying about you Chinese people?! "

With a loud crash, Xiao Letian suddenly stood up, knocking the table loudly. He was truly infuriated, the intelligence report was indeed correct.

Xiao Letian was furious, but Count de Beer simply laughed, his finger lightly tapped on the table, meaning "What happened? He already lost control of himself so quickly? "Even more exciting is yet to come. I'm afraid your heart won't be able to take it right now …"

Xiao Letian took a few deep breaths while he continuously called out in his heart for him to be calm. Only after a good three minutes did the smile return to his face.

"Lord Count, you have the makings of a statesman, diplomatic negotiations are not an underhanded affair, enraging me is not good for you either. My current strength is not even worth looking at compared to the British Empire, what are you trying to do?"

"That's right …" With a "pa" sound, Count de Beer slapped the table again, "You are right, politicians and diplomats shouldn't be so unreasonable … But I don't think you can do it. "In Chinese words, my fist is thicker than your waist, is that okay?"

"Let me be honest with you, Napoleon III even brought out his benefits from the North America Colony to negotiate with me, what he wants is the neutrality of the British Navy … It is foreseeable that when you take a ship to return home, in the North Sea, in the Atlantic, in the Mediterranean, including the Indian Ocean... On all your roads, the French Navy is on the lookout. Do you really think you can go home? "

His words caused the whole garden to turn deathly silent. All the Chinese, including the Prussian, were stunned, no one thought that the French would put in so much effort to deal with Xiao Letian.

With a plop, Xiao Letian sat down on the chair. He was shocked by the word "home". That's right! It's not easy to walk in Europe, how can the French force me to go overland?

Xiao Letian rejected such a ridiculous idea. Go to Russia? The Tsar's heart was even more sinister than Napoleon III. He wouldn't let Xiao Letian go if he didn't squeeze him dry.

Go to the Central Asia and India? With so many countries in a complicated situation, who knows if that chief is crazy enough to make trouble for you? Furthermore, they were all living in English and French's territory along the way, so it would not be easy for them to pass by safely.

Returning home, this phrase was filled with emotion, but right now, it was incomparably heavy and cold in Xiao Letian's heart.

Count de Beer's venomous tongue had not finished yet, he shook his head to enjoy Xiao Letian's dejected expression, it was really like he was beating down a dog.

"Dear Shaw! Do you think this is the end? No no no, you belittle the courage of Napoleon III, his expedition fleet has probably already fired their cannons at the Ryukyu Kingdom already, he is using the name of revenge, the British cannot reject this kind of war excuse, so we can only give them the green light … "

"Actually, in the seas of East Asia, having a port that completely belongs to the West is pretty good. We British don't have to lose a single soldier, and we don't even have to spend a single cent to enjoy the same benefits as the French … Oh, that's what you Chinese call a sedan chair, isn't it? "Hahaha …"

"Oh right, there's also your Industrial Zones. I think if you are not here, those people will not be able to complete this difficult mission, so I will recommend He De to help your Qing Government. I think this will be a consolation to you …"

"Of course, I am a civilized person. I will use all of my diplomatic skills to protect your family and children. I will use the British Empire's battleship to escort them to the hamburger to reunite with you … "Hahaha, take a look at our English gentlemen's demeanor. We can even guarantee the financial safety of that foreign bank of yours …"

"You can be a rich man in Europe. I don't think the French will assassinate you under the protection of Prussia. Hahaha …"

Count de Beer laughed until his beard started to quiver. At that moment, he even forgot about the torture of ventilation as he threw himself into the pleasure of torturing others.

Ka, ka … He didn't know if it was that inner strength expert from the military officer regiment, but he was already angered to a certain extent. One hand clenched into a fist and fingers, and the joints of the fingers began to crack; the military officer corps all knew English, and they all understood the arrogant words of De Bi just now.

Strangely, as De Bi laughed, Xiao Letian's expression became even calmer. This was not a great loss for him to bear, his eyes had an additional trace of an inexplicable smile.

"Finished? For a dignified Prime Minister of the British Empire to come to the hamburger secretly on a battleship, is to strike at my weak little heart? " After saying that, Xiao Letian put her hands over her heart and pretended to be a little girl. "I'm so scared, I'm so scared …"

Then he said with a cold face, "Are you satisfied? Have you finished venting your emotions? Did you get a sense of superiority from me, the Barbarian? Is your aristocratic plot showing enough? "

"You …" Derby was so angry that he was about to stand up, but he forgot that his ankle was badly ventilated, so he sat back down.

"Xiao Letian, you dare to be unreasonable to me? You think I'm threatening you? Do you think I'm talking alarmingly? "

"Letter …" Of course I believe, I do not only believe in your righteous schemes, I also believe that you have countless schemes that will make me disappear from the face of the earth. "However, in the process of your life and death, you have lost a very important link …"

"Hmm? Missing a link? "What do you mean …" Count de Beer asked, puzzled.

Only now did Xiao Letian feel that he had regained a bit of initiative in the negotiations. He leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Benefit! Don't you think that the one thing you should stop telling me is about benefits? "

De Bi was startled, but Xiao Letian did not give him any chance to speak, and continued along his own line of thought.

"What are the benefits to you, England, of the whole thing? It's just a few Industrial Zones s, is that Ryukyu yours? Isn't he going back to the French colonial territory? You guys are really smart, fighting with France over a colony in the Indian continent, and now sending him back with a Ryukyu, are you trying to find a way for the French to retreat? "

"Enough, I am too lazy to listen to your provocation. Do you think that speaking such childish words can stir up the relationship between English and French?" Derby roared.

"Relationship? Your English and French has a good relationship with him? Do you really think that you will enter your honeymoon period just because you won against the abnormal Crimean War? Do you really think that Napoleon III is your reliable ally? With your fragile balance, do you still need me to instigate you? "

"Respected Prime Minister, since you wish to destroy the colonial territory that was hard to come by in British Empire, then I have nothing else to say. Please do as you please, I will just stay here as a prisoner for the rest of my life. Anyway, hamburger will give me some bread to eat! "

"Prime Minister, do you want to leave now …"
