C2262 Silent

At this moment, the silence was better than the silence. The Chinese people's abnormal behavior had confused everyone. One day, two days, three days … European newspapers have spread the details of the attack, the fires in the photographs, the dark walls of the East Palace, the protesting mob, the flying stones...

Of course, there was also the classic scene of Xiao Letian's stern face hidden behind the shattered glass window. The angle of this photo was extremely tricky, and the instant the photo was taken, the heroic and handsome side of Eastern Führer's face was permanently stuck in the picture.

The light and shadows were in sharp contrast, causing Xiao Letian's face to have the texture of a sculpture. His brows were furrowed tightly, his eyes were filled with anger, and his expression carried a trace of sadness and empathy.

In addition to the few pieces of glass underneath the picture, it gave the entire picture a bleak killing intent!

It was said that with just this photo, Xiao Letian's influence on European women had increased multiple times. He was simply too handsome, and he even had a decadent feeling that would cause a woman's motherly nature to surge, making women want to protect him.

Just from this photo alone, this conflict had gained countless supporters.

The news industry throughout Europe had finally reached their golden age. The sales of all newspapers had increased by an average of forty percent, and the owners of the newspapers were grinning from ear to ear.

The better the sales, the more intense the reports were about the Chinese. The more intense it was being instigated by the public, the more heated the incident became.

In general, aside from the French and Russian media, the rest of the European countries' public opinion was very fair. Although they did not know much about the internal details of the attack, they still condemned the crazy act of targeting the head of state in unison.

The Europeans already considered themselves to be the peak of the world's civilization, and what difference did this attack make to the behavior of the group of barbarians?

If you decide that the Chinese are illegal warlords, then don't invite them to London for a visit. Since you have already visited, even warlords shouldn't receive such treatment.

If something was resolved on the battlefield, what would be the point in committing such acts of banditry? With such a precedent in front of you, would the envoys of that country still dare to visit you in England?

The war between the two countries has not yet been brought to an end. The ancients all understood this logic, but don't you, British people, understand?

News of the questioning spread among the citizens one after another. The British Ministry of Foreign Affairs Gate was gradually feeling the pressure, many of the leaders of the countries were insinuating their concerns to the public. There were even some scholars from the civil society who began writing to the British embassy, hoping that they would be able to resolve this diplomatic crisis politely.

In just three days, the situation had pressured Benjamin to the point that he couldn't breathe. He was regretting his decision now, he really regretted listening to the instigation of the Montaubans and Yi Wan, who would have thought that these thugs would actually dare to kill them!

Of course, he also suspected that this was a trap set up by the Chinese, and the probability was as high as eighty percent, but so what if he suspected? Without evidence, there was no way to explain to the public that ordinary citizens did not have the brain circuit as deep as that of politicians. They only used their simplest emotions to analyze the problem.

The thing that was scary was that Xiao Letian's previous investment in emotions had worked. His constant benevolent deeds had allowed him to obtain the love and appreciation of countless lower class citizens, and with the help of the Liberal Party and the Protestantism Church, Xiao Letian had become the spokesperson for those who suffered in the eyes of the masses.

The pressure became bigger and bigger, of course Benjamin wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible, but in these three days, he sent three waves of messengers to the Eastern Palace to meet Xiao Letian, but to no avail.

The silent Chinese soldiers didn't even bother to explain. The bayonets and sandbags stopped everyone in their tracks, and even the emissaries of the royal family were blocked outside.

"Damn it, what are they trying to do? Before, didn't he want to negotiate with me? But now, with such a good opportunity before us, how could he be a coward? "

"Strange, it's really too strange …" Men, go and pass a message to the Tongzhi Emperor, bring him to see Xiao Letian! "

Zai Chun had a request for Benjamin now, so he didn't dare delay and take the bus to the Eastern Palace. But he never thought that even Zai Chun had gotten hit by this request, not to mention seeing Xiao Letian, he couldn't even listen to his voice.

Even the Tongzhi Emperor was helpless against the situation. It seemed that besides the Queen showing her face, there was no other possibility.

But would the Queen come out? The answer was no, the Queen Victoria had used his own actions to express his dissatisfaction with Benjamin, but the door of Buckingham Palace had actually closed towards him, and the Queen had actually not seen him due to her unwell body.

Benjamin immediately fell into a helpless and isolated state. The Tory Party's intelligence network had already found out that Gladstone was organizing a blacklist. Who knew when he would be impeached in the council.

"Dammit, am I afraid of them? but it's just for the sake of venting the anger of these Chinese... Men, get the police to act immediately! All the French and Russian who were protesting against us that day are to be apprehended and tried! "

"If you Chinese want an explanation, I will give you one so that you can vent your anger! "I don't believe that if I give you over a hundred lives, how long will you have the temper to continue acting like this …"

Benjamin thought that it was too simple, he really thought that Xiao Letian was just throwing a tantrum, he never thought that there would be a huge net that covered all of Europe, and was already beginning to weave and shape, and the poison wine was also fermenting up.

One day, two days, three days … Three days later, the French and Russian immigrants who lived in the City of London were out of luck. Those with money and power were better off, the police did not dare to come and disturb them, and all those who lived in the commoner district were interrogated.

The immigrants who had participated in the protest that day, under the strict orders of the Prime Minister, came to the surface one by one. The police station was filled with wails and wails.

What he wanted was a confession. He needed to make them admit that they had organized a protest. The fact that someone was giving them money must not be revealed.

Those who were smart enough to see through the police's intentions quickly hid their secrets and quickly wrote down their confessions. They could write whatever they wanted and such a person would still be able to keep his life.

If it was a stupid guy, he would have told the truth the more he fought. This kind of trash was no longer worthy of living in this world. Leaving him alive would be a waste of food.

It seemed that Benjamin really wanted to solve this attack crisis quickly. From the day the interrogation began, the London Police Department sent a copy of the interrogation process to the East Palace everyday, hoping to let Xiao Letian feel their sincerity.

However, he never expected that the Chinese would be so determined to keep quiet that even after three days of reports on the progress of the interrogation were left at the front door.

These words infuriated Benjamin. "You really don't care about face! What do you want? You want me to start negotiations with you and admit that you are an independent country? "In your dreams …"

"Hold on!" If you have the ability, you can just stay here for the rest of your life! "

The furious Benjamin swore to never give this Chinese guy any face again. He turned around and started to intensify his secret negotiations with Tongzhi.
