C2135 Conspiracy of the colonialist

Xiao Letian was someone he was very familiar with. In history, he was already a well-known figure, a pioneer in British colonialism, a master in expansion towards the outside world.

Xiao Letian was not sure if this person was Benjamin's direct descendant, but he was sure that this person's thoughts were the same as Benjamin's. He was definitely not on the same side as Gladstone's group.

At first, Gordon did not receive the army's order to participate in the battle. He used his interpersonal relationships to request for participation in the battle, or to ride on the merchant ship to chase after them.

After the war ended, he did not follow the rest of the army back to Europe, but chose to stay in China to look for opportunities, and in the end, chose to wait for the Chang Sheng Jun.

In this era, the management of nationality was very lax in the eyes of the various governments. Only talented people would be the mainstream policy, so Gordon's position of governor in Britain did not conflict with his position in the British Army at all.

On the contrary, his outstanding performance in China gave him a lot of points. Since his return from China, the British Military Department promoted him to colonel in the first place, which laid a solid foundation for his promotion to general in the future.

If there was no error in Xiao Letian's memories, he died near the capital of the African Sudan Republic, Khartoum.'s death was directly related to Gladstone.

At that time, Gordon's position was already that of a general, and he was authorized to command all the army in Egypt. At that time, he was commanding all the troops to calm down the rebellion in Khartoum, but right at that moment, British Prime Minister chose to give up all benefits to Sudan.

To put it bluntly, they did not want the colony anymore. However, there was still a group of militant citizens and officials who wanted to not give up, which delayed the dispatch of reinforcements.

When the reinforcements Gladstone sent finally arrived at Khartoum, they realized that Gordon had died in battle here.

Gordon could be said to be a representative of the British colonialist. His body had the colors of a legend, and his experience in war had a lot of basics among the masses.

It was said that this fellow also believed in mysticism, was willing to study local religions and dark arts anywhere, and had even studied Taoism and Buddhism in China.

Such a high-ranking officer filled with strange elements was destined to be a legend. It was natural for him to attract the attention of the common folk.

The news of Gordon's death caused the Queen to be enraged! She scolded Gladstone for her inaction and condemned the inaction.

This was the last straw of Gladstone's downfall. If the Queen didn't like you anymore, then the people who loved the Queen would give up on you. In the end, Gladstone could only dejectedly step down.

Xiao Letian shook his head, putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. He was already certain that Benjamin's extremely humble attitude was dictated by Benjamin, it seemed like the colonialist was determined to bet on Zai Chun.

Tongzhi had already stepped into the trap of the British colonialist.

"Your Majesty … Why don't you listen to the British side? "I've heard quite a bit about dual citizenship, but I really don't think I've heard about dual citizenship …"

Xiao Letian wanted to remind Zai Chun that even if he had fought in China before, he was still an Englishman and a person like Gordon could not be trusted too much.

But before Zai Chun could say anything, Benjamin, who was behind him, walked over and said with a smile, "Of course we are willing to let our country's talented people shine all over the world …"

"Our dream is to shine the light of a civilized world on the whole world. Sir Gordon is excellent, we are very impressed by his efforts in China!"

"I even hope for more Sir Gordon to appear in the British Empire, so that more and more countries of the Middle World can enter the civilized world …"

F * ck! Xiao Letian cursed in his heart. What a f * cking civilization, your dream is to colonize the entire world, plundering resources and dumping industrial goods. This is your dream, what are you pretending to be a big tail wolf for?

Seeing that Zai Chun was pretending to be confused, Xiao Letian sighed in his heart, he knew that it would be hard to turn back this disciple of his. As long as he smiled and nodded, he would not say anything else.

Gordon's appearance was destined to be a small interlude, and the welcoming ceremony would continue. After the two guests shook hands, they would naturally speak their piece, which was also the main event that all the reporters were looking forward to.

Red carpet covered the podium, flowers surrounded it, the fragrance assaulting the nostrils!

Below the podium were dozens of European reporters. The ones in the front row were sitting on the ground, taking out their notebooks and preparing to take shorthand. The ones behind them were controlling their tripods to take pictures.

The first was Benjamin's speech as a welcome speech. This experienced Prime Minister did not even need to write a script, what he said on the spot was a lively impromptu speech that sent spittle flying everywhere.

Starting from the long history of the two countries, it also mentioned their economic and trade interactions since ancient times, and even the grand occasion of the British birthday celebration for the dryad emperors during the year of dryad.

As they listened, Gladstone and the others secretly curled their lips. As for talking about the two Opium Wars, Benjamin simply described it as two small skirmishes.

When Liang Kun and the other hot-tempered generals heard this, they nearly died from anger. "F * ck, even burning Yuan Ming Yuan up, yet there's still some friction? "Truly shameless …"

"Shut up, what is this place? Don't speak nonsense! Have you forgotten the discipline of the Führer? "

The Prime Minister's speech, that was originally planned for ten minutes, actually allowed Benjamin to drag it out for a whole 25 minutes.

The useless speech was finally over, following that, Gladstone and the others also came up to give a simple welcome speech, and with that, the Cabinet's welcome ceremony came to an end. According to the plan, Tongzhi and his group would each deliver a speech within 10 minutes.

After that, there was a small military parade, followed by a Chinese honor guard disembarking from the ship and officially appearing before the British public at the cathedral where the crown prince was waiting.

However, Benjamin and his subordinates had already wasted half an hour just now. Wang Huaiyuan frowned as he looked at his pocket watch, feeling anxious.

"Why is the timetable messed up? The time between the luncheon and the banquet cannot be changed. If this goes on, how are we supposed to arrange the plans in the middle? "

"What a conspiracy! There must be a conspiracy … "

Wang Huaiyuan stood up, went over to Xiao Letian's ear, and whispered his worries aloud. However, Xiao Letian raised his hand to stop him, "I know, I feel that way too … It was time to do as he pleased. There was no hurry to do so! Look, Zai Chun is up on stage.
