2158 Charlie's Gamble
Although an officer of the level of Battalion Charlie is close to Buckingham Palace in the Imperial Guards, it is difficult for him to enter the Queen's eyes.
If you want to make a difference in the official career, the first thing you need to hype your popularity. First of all, you have to let the powerful figures know you. This is the basis of everything.
If you don’t even know each other, let alone good feelings and dislikes, and opportunities will not fall on your head for no reason.
The progress of normal people's careers is achieved through continuous qualifications and completing various tasks, and then they move up step by step. The company commander first accumulates achievements in front of the battalion commander and finally improves, then he then clings to the team commander, and finally reaches the division commander, army commander, commander, marshal.
This is the promotion path for ordinary people, slow but very stable.
However, some people are born restless. When they were the battalion commander, they wanted to let the queen know his name. They wanted to take a gamble to complete the leap in their life.
So what should you rely on? What you rely on is making mistakes!
People learn to make mistakes, which is a special state. Most people think that making mistakes is negative and bad, but if you find the trick to make mistakes, then making mistakes can sometimes become a springboard for you to move forward.
For example, although Battalion Commander Charlie was right to do things according to the rules, he was mixed with his own selfish thoughts during the execution. There was no need to take action, but a small chaos broke out.
It is a big taboo to use military force against the VIP's entourage in diplomatic occasions! It is not that Charlie didn't know this. In fact, he was very clear about the consequences of this matter, and he was mentally prepared to be exiled.
But if you look at the problem from another perspective, it was Charlie's crazy behavior that allowed his name to enter the queen's ears, which made the queen know that there was such a loyal little battalion commander in the Imperial Guard.
The Queen would definitely be angry that Charlie was smearing the diplomatic event, but is this anger really pure? It may not be! Maybe while the Queen was angry, she also had some appreciation in her heart. Where can anyone in the world who would not flatter?
No one is a saint, and no one is willing to see others express their loyalty to them. A short-term anger does not mean that they will be punished and exiled forever. Opportunities must be prepared for people. For a small character like Charlie, perhaps a word from the Queen can benefit him a lot.
To be clearer, it is already a very powerful weapon to kill the Queen in the workplace.
For example, the old people in politics, such as Benjamin and Gladstone, are paying close attention to the Queen's words, actions and actions.
Perhaps a name mentioned occasionally in afternoon tea will cause them to conduct a complicated investigation. As long as the queen does not feel bad about this name, she will definitely get much more opportunities than others.
For a position, it’s okay to use Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu and Zhao Liu, so why not use Ding Qi, who is familiar to the queen?
Charlie bet on this chance because he knew very well that if he developed step by step, with the little smile power of their family, he would be able to reach the limit of the group leader in his life and would not have any room for improvement.
Knowing that his future is bleak, Charlie keenly seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and successfully made a major breakthrough in the workplace through extreme means of humiliating the guards of the Chinese emperor.
It turns out that Charlie's gambling was very wise. Although he was demoted and exiled, this was just a trick to calm the anger of the Chinese.
A year and a half later, Charlie was reinstated, and three years later Charlie was promoted to commander of the Imperial Guards, and four years later he was transferred to mainland India to become an army commander. In the subsequent war against the Chinese, he was promoted to commander of the army.
Pingbu Qingyun is talking about him. A child from a down-and-out little aristocratic family successfully completed the counterattack of fate through this "mistake" gamble.
Charlie's back left the Imperial Guard was so lonely that almost all his colleagues felt sorry for him, but no one knew that Charlie's face was pretending to be sad and angry at this moment, but his heart was filled with joy.
"Three years, give me three years, and I will definitely make a comeback. These Chinese people are the springboard of my life. I will borrow the power this time, and I will borrow the power next time. I hope the next time will be on the battlefield of war!"
The conflict and chaos finally ended. When Zaichun's flag-root umbrella and famous guards arrived at the scene, Emperor Tongzhi finally walked off the carriage, and the dark clouds in the sky finally dissipated.
Prince Edward said to Emperor Tongzhi in embarrassment, "I'm very sorry, this is a major mistake in our welcome work. Just now, the Queen has punished the officer who provoked the conflict and demoted and left London. I hope His Majesty can be satisfied with the result of this treatment..."
The British side gave face, and Zai Chun also had to be tactful. He smiled and said, "After all, it is an unprecedented diplomatic era. There is no precedent to follow, and it is inevitable to make a mistake... There is no need to punish excessively, and our Qing Dynasty is still very tolerant!"
"Thank you for your magnanimity, please!" Edward took a step back and gave way to the center of the red carpet. At this moment, Xiao Letian also took a step back and gave way to Zai Chun.
The emotions at the scene were mobilized again. The queen of the Empire of the Sun never set was greeted by the gate. His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Empire came to visit half of the earth. The two most powerful empires in the East and the West finally collided together.
At that moment, even the queen was excited. The past came to my mind one by one. The insults received by the British envoys in Beijing during the Qianlong period were still written on the paper in the archives.
Even during the Xianfeng period, European envoys could not even see the Chinese emperor because of their small kneeling etiquette.
The Chinese, who were extremely stubborn, would rather lose their capital than negotiate with the European ministers on an equal basis, and even members of the envoys were abused by inhumanely.
Although the British Empire used force to pry open China's doors, no one could pry open the stubbornness in the hearts of the Chinese, especially the stubbornness of the rulers.
If there is something stronger than the Great Wall in this world, then it must be what the Chinese say about face. This strange nation can even give up its interests for the sake of face.
And today, all efforts have finally gained fruit. I... Victoria, the master of the Empire of Sun Never Setting, finally waited for the Emperor of China.
He came to see me! The Chinese emperor came to see me in person!
Opening European history books, no king has such glory. I... Victoria, finally created history!
