Chapter One Hundred and Seventieth The Unkind Comer (Part 2)
Thomas Edwards' momentum and aura are really awesome. At least when he was questioning aggressively, he really seemed to represent the side of justice.
Of course, he is indeed not the embodiment of justice, he is just a despicable politician and a shameful imperialist colonialist.
But these days, we are afraid of gangsters wearing the cloak of gentlemen. They really can advance, attack, retreat, or defend without any flaws. At least his answer just now made Jan. Constantine a little speechless. Although someone is still thinking about the left and right.
He is trying to avoid the core issues, deliberately misinterpret concepts, and bite back, but people who don’t know the truth are easily fooled.
It was naturally impossible for Jan Constantine to be bluffed, but his biggest weakness prevented him from fighting back, that is, he did not dare to offend the British to death. Because even if he consciously hugged the French
Legs, but he didn't dare to offend the British foreigner completely, which made it impossible for him to fight back with all his strength.
But Thomas Edwards had no worries. He was just here to cause trouble and stir up trouble. Naturally, he couldn't hold back, so his momentum became more and more fierce! He barked and bit like a mad dog:
"What, I'm speechless? I've revealed the truth in one word, so I have nothing to say! Let me tell you, if you don't tell me, I will continue to say that the British Empire supports you in your fight for independence and freedom, and is not letting you do whatever you want.
I’m not asking you to impose excessive taxes!”
"How did you promise Consul General Kehong at the beginning and then forget about it in the blink of an eye? The British Empire paid a huge price to support you. Is this how you are grateful to us? Is this how you reciprocate?"
"You shameless villains still have the nerve to stand here and laugh heartily. You are so shameless!"
Thomas Edwards directly scolded Jan Constantine so much that he had no choice but to spit on his face. Anyway, Thomas Edwards was very happy, and his attitude was quite impressive.
The meaning of holding the head like a bag to retrieve something is also a bit arrogant, as if to say: "You are all rubbish!"
There was a dead silence at the scene, and almost everyone was stunned by Thomas Edwards's machine-gun speaking speed. After all, things happened so suddenly, and he launched his attack very hastily, which really didn't leave much time for people to react.
At this time, Thomas Edwards was also preparing to retreat. He was here to cause trouble, and now his goal has been achieved. If he doesn't leave now, how long will it take? When the Wallachians come to their senses, he will
It’s not easy to keep pretending to be 13, so it’s best to finish pretending to be 13 and then retreat!
It was just a little late, because in the dead silence, there was suddenly a burst of applause. The sound was not particularly loud, but it seemed particularly harsh in the dead silence. Anyway, everyone was wondering who was so brave.
At this time, you still dare to applaud the British. Are you tired of living or are you just here to cause trouble?
However, when they saw who the person applauding was, they immediately changed their expressions, because the person applauding turned out to be Li Xiao. He walked over while applauding, with a fascinated smile on his face.
Who doesn't understand yet - there is a lot of excitement today! The British and the French are at odds!
At this time, Thomas Edwards couldn't leave even if he wanted to, because the other party was issuing a challenge! If he left, the effect of the half-day praise would be reduced by 50%, so his hard work was not in vain.
"Who are you!"
Even though he knew who Li Xiao was, Thomas Edwards still deliberately frowned and asked. This is called taking the initiative. I always have the initiative when I ask you, rather than you asking me.
But as I said before, Li Xiao has never been the kind of person to be led around, so he did not answer directly, but retorted:
"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that today I opened my eyes. It's the first time I've seen someone who can interpret shamelessness, strong words and nonsense so vividly. It's really amazing!"
Thomas Edwards was about to say something, but Li Xiao grasped the rhythm very well and did not give him a chance to fight back. He immediately said: "Who did you say you were just now? Forgive me for not knowing you. Really.
I'm extremely sorry, for you to be so...so...so...well, forgive me for not knowing how to describe you, but you know what I mean."
"But I think from today on, I will definitely be able to remember your name, because the impression is so profound... You seem to be the British counselor, right? You seem to have said that the British government provided valuable services to the Provisional Republic of Wallachia.
I admire you for your selfless help!"
"Because as a foreign friend who loves Wallachia, I personally very much hope to provide Wallachia with the help I can, and I also have high respect for those international friends who take risks to help the people of Wallachia. Since
You are so great, can you tell me, who has little knowledge, how you helped the people of Wallachia? Because I really want to be like you! Can you?"
Everyone present looked at Thomas Edwards and wanted to know how the British counselor would answer, because this question was really difficult to answer. Because everyone knew that the British only gave lip service to him at the beginning, but it was really gold.
There are very few live silver bullets, and these things cannot be announced in public, at least it is not appropriate for a diplomat like Thomas Edwards.
Because, after all, Wallachia is just a highly autonomous grand duchy to which Turkey belongs. Although Turkey is not a big deal, it still needs to be respected. Otherwise, the international influence will not be good and it will be easy to tell the truth. For example, Russia can definitely use it.
This attack, accusing Britain of instigating Wallachian independence behind Turkey and Russia, was a diplomatic provocation.
This is very troublesome! But Thomas Edwards had to answer, because when he lectured Jan Constantine just now, he swore about how Britain helped Wallachia and how disappointed it was. Now
You can't just turn around and forget what you said before, right?
Anyway, this move made Thomas Edwards extremely uncomfortable. Whether he answered or not answered was inappropriate. But don’t underestimate the shamelessness of diplomats. If you can’t answer, then don’t answer! Change the topic, or
Isn’t it a good idea to just kick the ball back without moving?
Just do it, Thomas Edwards immediately asked: "Who are you? You keep saying that you support the people of Wallachia, how do you support it! Please forgive me for being ignorant, and I don't think that packaging plunder is
How noble and selfless it is to help and support!”
