2137 The guard of honor disembarks
At this moment, Xiao Letian and the senior officials of the Chinese clan have already understood Benjamin's conspiracy. It seems that this is because he is afraid of Xiao Letian's terrifying ability to harvest reputation. He needs to be similar to all methods to reduce his chances of appearing in the public, especially in such an official occasion where there are so many people.
Look at Emperor Tongzhi. Xiao Letian's disciples are so sensible. How scary will Xiao Letian be? From the series of reports on the Oriental Chinese to the oriental landscape paintings floating all over the city, Xiao Letian has already fallen into the city before he even arrived in London.
Today, most of the fans of Dongfangfeng were fans of Xiao Letian. To put it bluntly, these are all votes, and the votes that all major ruling parties are striving for!
He took the people's hope to protect himself, which made it difficult for Benjamin to start. After seeing through Xiao Letian's plan, Benjamin really felt cold from the bottom of his heart.
He really couldn't understand why a scholar from a feudal dynasty was so proficient in propaganda and people's expectations? This should be the secret skill of European politicians. How did the Chinese learn it?
It's really a monster, and the monster must be suppressed!
There are two time points that cannot be changed today, namely two banquets, lunch and dinner! Because the queen is hosted by herself, and the queen's body cannot be too hard, and the time for eating and rest every day is fixed.
Even if the Chinese emperor comes, it will not affect the queen's health!
With the two time nodes unchanged, the schedule of other welcome ceremonies was disrupted, and other people were allowed to squeeze out Xiao Letian's speech time until the media finally forget him.
It was already difficult for Benjamin to think of such a strategy and execute it perfectly in a hurry.
Xiao Letian, who had figured out everything, simply crossed his legs and leisurely watched the people on the stage show off. It was not a day to grab reputation, but there would be opportunities in the future.
Benjamin is indeed extremely good at doing things. Under his secret instruction, the group of reporters began a round-robin battle and kept asking questions to Emperor Tongzhi. Today, Zaichun also performed well and had a lot of eloquence. I believe that the whole of Europe will report positively tomorrow.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Gladstone also saw through everything. He was secretly observing Xiao Letian, but found that this familiar stranger was really a bit calm, which made Gladstone look very high.
He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. He turned his head and said to Benjamin, "Prime Minister, it's already 10:10. Are you still going to delay the time? The Crown Prince can wait in St. Paul's Cathedral..."
Benjamin pretended to be surprised and said, "Is time so fast? Oh, hurry up and send someone to communicate with the Chinese head of state to see if his speech can be put in the church. The crown prince and several young royal members can't wait for too long..."
The chore finally fell on the Duke of Newcastle. The dark-faced duke was unwilling to offend Xiao Letian. After all, he had to rely on Xiao Letian's secret recipe to make money. However, the Prime Minister personally gave him an excuse to refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and go on.
"Dear Xiao, look... His Majesty suddenly improvised and disrupted the schedule. Do you see if we are hurrying up and going to St. Paul's Cathedral before speaking?"
Xiao Letian smiled faintly, "No problem, I follow your arrangements. May I ask, my guard can land now?"
"Yes, absolutely! The open space has been vacant..."
General Luo Huo had been waiting for this moment. He immediately stood up and stalked forward, stood beside the gangway of Zhiyuan, and raised his head and ordered loudly, "There are all guards of honor! Go on ashore... and gather urgently!"
At that moment, it seemed like a muffled thunder sounded out of thin air. Eight hundred tigers stood attentively and saluted, and the big leather boots with iron palms hit the deck, making a loud bang, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
The reporters who had just finished the interview immediately adjusted their cameras and pointed the lens at Chinese warships.
In the eyes of the crowd, a Chinese Marine in neat military dresses lined up in order to get off the boat with a brand new Mauser on their backs, and soon arranged eight neat square arrays on the open space of the dock.
"Everyone has...rest...stand attentively...to look right!"
Under the order of the company platoon leader, the team quickly fine-tuned it, and soon the standard tofu block formation, which was horizontal and vertical and even straight and diagonal lines, appeared in front of the people of London.
The Chinese army was basically trained according to the queue standards of the People's Liberation Army in later generations. In terms of queues, military resources, and appearance, they completely crushed all the armies of this era.
As soon as the Eight Hundred Hu Ben appeared, he immediately received a collective exclaim from millions of people, "Wow! Is this still a human? How come it is so neat..."
"Standing at attention!" Luo Huo ordered, and eight hundred tigers moved their leather boots together, and a neat sound of bang was heard, and the horseshoe even made a series of sparks on the stone slab.
Eight hundred people, just like one person, are carved out of the same mold. They are tall, short, fat, thin and symmetrical. Even their height is carefully selected, showing a very smooth diagonal line in people's sight.
Everyone raised their chins proudly, revealing the strict records and endless murderous aura in their eyes. Everyone was a veteran who had seen blood on the battlefield. The strong aura in their bodies made all the British military generals shudder.
"Good soldier! God, this feels so familiar. They are all veterans who have killed people! And there is no confusion in their eyes, full of confidence, and a wise light... Are these all composed of officers?"
As soon as the Eastern Legion appeared, it shocked all the British people present. Benjamin was so angry that his nose almost turned crooked. He thought to himself, why is Xiao Letian so good at making trouble? He can't hold back.
But at this moment there is no excuse to let Chinese soldiers go back to the ship. The only thing Benjamin can do is to let Xiao Letian leave immediately and leave here immediately, so that these Eastern legions will not appear in front of the people.
"Prepare the carriage, please go to St. Paul's Cathedral!"
The carriages that had been waiting for a long time came one by one. Benjamin, as the prime minister, accompanied Zai Chun in the first black painted carriage, and four Arab horses began to take small steps forward.
Following closely behind Gladstone accompanied the head of state Xiao Lotte in the second car, and then one British senior official after another accompanied the Eastern guests onto the carriage.
On both sides of the long cavalry team were guards composed of 200 cavalrymen and 400 British Army advance in parallel, and the last of the cavalry team was the eight small square formations of the Chinese.
"Here... the team is moving! The team is moving towards St. Paul's Cathedral...Long live!"
Chapter completed!
