Thomas Edwards was originally a rough man with a loud voice, and he was holding his breath, so his voice was naturally louder. This voice was almost shouted, and naturally the whole audience heard it.
Actually, even if he doesn't yell, the whole audience can still hear him, because there is not a single confused person in this situation, they are basically foxes who have become spirits. They are all watching and listening in all directions. They are very alert.
Thomas Edwards was discovered when he came in. The foxes all knew that he came with bad intentions. No one dared to touch this bad luck, so they just pretended not to see it. At this time, everyone had their growlers activated.
Naturally, we can no longer pretend to be stupid, just cooperate with the surprise!
Anyway, the scene was in an uproar. The foxes were pretending to whisper, but their eyes betrayed their true thoughts, because their little eyes unconsciously glanced in the direction of Li Xiao and Bretianu. They probably wanted to see France.
The reaction of the people and the Bretianu brothers.
The most embarrassing person here was Jan Jika. Not only was Thomas Edwards' loud questioning embarrassing him, but what was even more embarrassing was that he found that the other party seemed to be questioning him, but his eyes were actually aimed at Li Xiao and Buletti.
As for the Yanou brothers, they are obviously more concerned about the reactions of those few and don't care about him as the temporary foreign minister at all.
This is really a bit of a slap in the face. Not only does Jan Jika feel that he is hot-faced but cold-butt, he also feels like a fool. Why are you so pretentious? If you had known it earlier, you would have pretended not to see it. Let Bratianu
Brother, I've dealt with it well.
But the reality is that there is no medicine for regret. Jan Jika could only bite the bullet and deal with it: "Sir Thomas Edwards, please be patient. I don't understand what happened to make you so angry."
He Gaffe, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Provisional Republic, in line with the tradition of friendship between the two countries, I am willing to listen to your appeal. How about we go to the side hall next to us to have a detailed discussion and discuss and solve the problem together?"
Jan Jika is really flexible, and this attitude should be said to be good, but Thomas Edwards, who has a bad temper, does not appreciate it. He is just here to cause trouble. Naturally, the bigger the trouble, the better. How could he go there?
What kind of side hall, Yang Jika was immediately sprayed in the face again:
"No need! I don't think we have anything to talk about. I even have deep doubts about the so-called traditional friendship! Because your country's various practices can't make me feel the existence of any friendship at all!"
"Our Consul General, Mr. Kohon, has long warned your country not to take any untimely and risky measures, but your country turned a deaf ear. Forget it, now you are ignoring the interests of the people of Wallachia and openly betraying Wallachia.
The interests of the people of Guia!"
"This makes me have to wonder what the intentions of your country's provisional government are, whether it is sincerely safeguarding the interests of all the people of Wallachia, and whether it is worthy of our country to maintain the previous friendship. If you cannot give a reasonable explanation, I can only say this
Expressing extreme disappointment and anger and protesting in the strongest possible terms!”
As he said that, Thomas Edwards raised his fist, as if he was very angry and the consequences would be serious. He was really as arrogant as he wanted to be. Anyway, he looked like he was going to be beaten.
.Jika!
The scene became more and more awkward for a while. At least Yang Jika was sweating coldly, and his face was ashen, which seemed to be shaky.
This naturally made Thomas Edwards a little proud, and he even looked down upon the Wallachians. He felt that these people were all cowardly wastes, and none of them could fight. Today, he was going to give Wallachia a good blow.
Give people a lesson and tell them how awesome the British Empire is!
Jan Constantine knew that he had to come forward, because Jan Gyka had been brought to a standstill. If this old friend continued to be embarrassed, he might really become angry.
Jan Constantine is not afraid that Jan Djika will get angry and blast Thomas Edwards, because he knows that Jan Djika does not have that kind of talent. This angry man will not dare to do anything to the British uncle. He will only treat what he said today.
All the humiliation suffered is recorded on the head of Jan Constantine, and he will definitely take the opportunity to take revenge one day in the future.
Jan Constantine was not prepared to take the blame for Thomas Edwards, so he had no choice but to "sacrifice generously". He walked up quickly and tried to persuade him:
"Mr. Thomas Edwards, it's not good for you to so blatantly deny the traditional friendship between Wallachia and Britain! If, as you say, there is indeed no traditional friendship between our two countries, then what do you mean by being so unreasonable now?
What? Is it to show the extraordinary magnanimity of the British Empire?"
"Also, are you speaking on behalf of the official position of the British Empire?"
Jan Constantine did have some skills, or he was more familiar with the British than Jan Jika, after all, he had more dealings with the British! So he was able to capture Thomas Edwards, who was showing a violent attitude, in just two words.
Especially the latter question was very crucial, and it was equivalent to blocking Thomas Edwards's mouth. Because although he was the counselor of the British Consulate General in Bucharest and had official British status, he could not speak all the time.
Represents the official attitude of the United Kingdom.
Jan Constantine basically asked him whether the statement just now was the official attitude of the United Kingdom, or whether it was officially authorized by the United Kingdom. If so, then no problem. You are the boss and you are awesome. You can issue ultimatums at will.
On the contrary, if not, then you cannot represent the British official attitude, and at best your private opinions are irrelevant. Is Thomas Edwards's private opinions important? Of course it is, but it is not that serious, especially in this situation, if
If Thomas Edwards said no, then his previous aggressiveness would immediately drop in price, which would make him look ugly.
Thomas Edwards glanced at Jan Constantine again in a somewhat speechless manner and spoke his mind. He didn't think much of Jan Constantine before, thinking that he was also a guy who wanted to curry favor with the British, but this time
He was stunned for a moment, which made him a little unexpected.
So does this stump Thomas Edwards?
Hehe, you underestimate the shameless nature of the boss of the British Empire. This country and its diplomats are the best at making unreasonable troubles, and their level is simply sky-high!
Thomas Edwards retorted unceremoniously: "Are you questioning me? As the counselor of the British Empire Consulate General in Bucharest, you should be very clear about my identity and the position I represent... As for making unreasonable troubles, for you
Is there any use in reasoning with these people who are doing this? Have the tens of thousands of Wallachians who have been robbed by you and whose land they can survive in have ever been talked to you by reason? Have you listened?"
