2893 The Emperor's Last Face
"No, no...Dear Xiao, you should rest tomorrow. This is just an ordinary surrender ceremony. The Emperor gave me a sword and I sent him away from Sedang, and then the army surrendered..."
"It's that simple, not the final negotiation, it doesn't make any sense if you go!"
How dare Beismai let Xiao Letian meet Napoleon III? He knew that in the heart of the Emperor, he hated Xiao Letian, the heart of the Chinese people, was several times stronger than hating Prussia.
Because everyone has vanity and needs face. The French Emperor was defeated by Prussia, and he could still accept it emotionally. After all, William I was the heir to the Hohenzollern family.
It is not embarrassing to lose to the hands of the Hohenzollern family, which has been passed down for thousands of years! But it feels bad to lose to the hands of China.
This is like ordinary people always envy and hate the people around them for their prosperity, and will not be jealous of the richest man in the world!
How did he become a millionaire since childhood? How did he become a poor relative who was poor in the past become rich and noble? This strong contrast is the main reason for emotional imbalance.
The richest man in the world made 100 million today and 10 billion tomorrow. This has nothing to do with him, because he is too far away and no one knows anyone!
Napoleon III's mood is now like this. The French palace guards who came yesterday have already made it clear that they can surrender to anyone, but they cannot surrender to Xiao Letian.
If Xiao Letian and any of the Chinese people appeared at the surrender ceremony the next day, he would immediately order the battle to continue until the last soldier!
Bismai knew that the Emperor was not a joke, he really didn't want to see Xiao Letian!
The hatred between these two people began to arise five years ago. In early 1865, Xiao Lotte officially visited Europe. That year, Xiao Lotte was surrounded by France in the Mediterranean, and finally failed to escape and imprisoned the French emperor in Besanson.
At that time, the Emperor of the Pharaoh was extremely arrogant when facing Xiao Letian. In the eyes of Napoleon III, Xiao Letian was just a small warlord in Asia, an ambitious man as small as an ant.
In the heart of the Emperor of the Dharma, you should be grateful for the treatment I give to you. If you can meet you, you should be excited.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Letian was even more a ruthless character. His soldiers sneaked into France and rescued their leaders with force.
There was even a small war between the two sides of the French-Swiss border, but although the scale of the war was small, the winner was the Chinese. The French emperor who slapped in the face was dizzy.
Hatred ended like this. Napoleon III would never reflect on his mistakes. He would not think that he was guilty of imprisoning Xiao Letian. Instead, he would think that it was a great sin that you would not accept my imprisonment.
Since then, France has become the mortal enemy of the Chinese people, and even a large-scale naval battle broke out, and Ryukyu was almost captured!
The hatred became deeper and deeper, and Xiao Letian had no intention of resolving it. He was not even willing to send an envoy to France to negotiate.
This arrogant behavior made Napoleon III even more angry, and he wanted to tear Xiao Letian into pieces!
But fate is so wonderful! The Emperor's revenge was not avenged, but he himself became Xiao Letian's defeated general. Even Bisme believed that the Emperor surrendered so happily was just because Xiao Letian's airship was too close to him.
The Emperor of the Falcon did not want to be captured by Xiao Letian! He subconsciously believed that he would rather face Prussia than face the Chinese!
What is the bullshit thing about the Chinese? A concept that did not exist five years ago. Even the Beijing city of the Qing Dynasty was captured by France. Do I want to give you a small Chinese surrender?
The Emperor of the Dharma was determined. If Xiao Letian dared to humiliate himself, he would order the battle to the last soldier!
Bisme would never allow such a thing to happen. He smiled and walked to Xiao Letian, put his shoulder on his shoulder and said, "The command center is too stuffy. Let's go out for a walk and smoke a cigarette..."
The night breeze is cool and comfortable. The command center is built on a high ground from here to see the night view of the entire battlefield. After the blood station, the 300,000 Pu troops and 100,000 French troops were resting and licking their wounds.
The light of the bonfire and torch is like stars, forming a galaxy on the earth, and the boundlessness looks very spectacular!
"You don't come forward tomorrow! This war finally came to the result we wanted. Don't make trouble..."
Xiao Letian took a few deep breaths, "Why don't you listen to me? If the decisive battle is delayed for more than ten hours, we can at least annihilate tens of thousands of French troops!"
"Aren't we already planned to eliminate the large number of military aristocratic groups in France?"
Pesme smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, Europe is not Asia, the cultural differences between us are too big! What you are talking about is indeed a good way to solve once and for all, completely creating a fault in the French military inheritance!"
"But my German nation can't do this! This is a massacre, and it will be punished by God! And other European countries will not agree!"
Xiao Letian lowered his head for a long time and said nothing, "Hey... Then you have to be prepared... The French, who have recovered forty years, will settle the old dispute with you!"
"Forty years? Not that fast... I think it's okay to protect Germany for seventy or eighty years!"
There is nothing to tell about this kind of thing. Xiao Letian can't say that he will predict the future!
"Since you have accepted the surrender of the Emperor, I will not say anything anymore... But it is a bit unreasonable to not allow me to attend the surrender ceremony?"
"In this battle, my Chinese people have also shed blood and worked hard! How can I protect my interests if I don't participate in the surrender ceremony?"
"Don't worry about this. I, Prussia, will definitely guarantee the interests of the Chinese. All compensation is absolutely preferred. You can also raise any requirements now!"
"But tomorrow, you really can't come forward... The personal grudge between you and the Emperor of the Dharma is simply uncontrollable! The Emperor of the Dharma has made it clear that as long as he sees you, he will order the battle to the last soldier!"
"I can feel...he is serious!"
Xiao Letian turned white and looked at the castle. "The old guy is not a little bad. He wants to save face after he has made up his share?"
"This is a rare and important historical moment! Since I am here, you won't let me witness it with your own eyes... Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"
Beismai stuffed a cigar to Xiao Lottin with a bitter face, "How about Cam Ran Bay? Haven't you always wanted somewhere? I'll help you get it!"
Xiao Letian's eyes lit up when he heard this, "How can a Jinlan Bay be able to... With Hue as the boundary, give it to me in the south!"
"You have such a big appetite! Impossible, impossible..." Bismai kept wavering his hands, "The place is too big, and Britain will intervene!"
"What's more, France would not make such a big concession. There is another problem... You can't ignore the attitude of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!"
