Chapter 685: Do We Look Like Fools? 【Second Update】
When Fang Xiaoyu landed on the British Isles, he found that the entire British Isles was filled with a tense atmosphere, and waves of parades on the streets were pressuring the government. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Fang Xiaoyu simply hypnotized a demonstrator, and immediately understood what was going on.
In the final analysis, these people had enough to eat and had nothing to do, and they ran out to demonstrate precisely because of the great defeat of the Eight-Nation Coalition not long ago.
You must know that in that battle, the Sun Never Sets Empire made great efforts, with more than 6,000 elite army members, plus sailors and soldiers on nearly ten warships, adding up to nearly 10,000 people.
This is nearly 10,000 elite troops, and they are all from the pure empire on which the sun never sets, behind the nearly 10,000 elites are at least tens of thousands of families, plus social relations, it can be said that in the entire British Isles, at least one-third of the families have been alarmed by various complex social relations.
The First World War lost tens of thousands of people, but the relatives of these soldiers quit, and the government must come up with an explanation.
In this government, Prime Minister Meg was anxious, and thought that the Eight-Nation Alliance, led by the Sun Never Setting Empire, could give Daqin a hard time, and then let Daqin cut his flesh and bleed, and it was best to be able to plunder a large amount of wealth from Daqin.
In this way, his government has been able to explain to the people with its achievements, and the original plan is good, and even the strength of the Eight-Nation Coalition is enough to achieve this.
However, not long ago, when the news of the annihilation of the Eight-Nation Alliance came, Meg almost fainted, and immediately scolded and cursed Marquis Donald fiercely.
In Prime Minister Meg's opinion, there would be a big defeat under such a big advantage, how incompetent would the Marquis Donald have to be to defeat the tens of thousands of elites of the Eight-Nation Alliance.
All I heard was the loud noise of the people outside the Prime Minister's Palace, and the noise made Meg feel extremely upset.
If his government is unable to settle this mess, it will not be long before the king will come out of office and reshuffle the cabinet.
Meg didn't want to be ousted by the people in embarrassment, because he was afraid that he would be left with a stench for 10,000 years.
Thinking that she was likely to be left behind for 10,000 years, Meg couldn't help but clench her fists and roared, "No, it can't be like this, I must investigate the reasons for the defeat of this battle." ”
Calming her thoughts, Meg took a deep breath and said, "Someone." ”
Soon a staff member entered Meg's office and said to Meg, "Prime Minister, what are your orders?" ”
Meg said, "Tell me if Captain Harbour and Captain Ruth of the Army have returned." ”
The staff member immediately said, "Prime Minister, according to the information, Colonel Harbo and Captain Ruth will arrive at the port tomorrow. ”
A bright light flashed in Meg's eyes and said: "You keep an eye on me, as soon as the two of them arrive, you will immediately bring them back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for me, and say that I want to see them." ”
Without Meg explaining, the staff member knew what Meg was trying to see Colonel Harbour and Captain Ruth.
It can be said that these two people are the two highest-ranking people who escaped after the defeat of the Eight-Nation Alliance, one army and one navy, and the two of them definitely experienced the battle in China firsthand, so they want to understand what happened in this and why the coalition operation that was sure to win was finally defeated.
No matter what, you always have to figure out how to defeat in order to judge what to do next, after all, you don't know how to fail even if you lose, isn't it going to make people depressed to death.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't know that there would be such two important people on the passenger ship that was about to arrive in the British Isles.
But even if he knew, Fang Xiaoyu wouldn't take it to heart, he actually came here for O'Connell and Evelyn.
Years have passed, and the two have grown up, one loves adventure, and the other has become museum keepers.
What surprised Fang Xiaoyu the most was that both of them followed their parents from the United States to return to the Sunset Empire.
In that encounter a few years ago, O'Connor and Evelyn were inexplicably abducted but frightened their parents, and the parents of both parties, who had invested in business in the United States, ended their investment in the United States one after another and returned to the British Isles with the two of them not long after.
After all, Fang Xiaoyu once said that he would come to find O'Connor and Evelyn again in ten years, which scared the parents of the two a lot.
It is precisely because of this that their parents will leave their business in the United States and return to the British Isles with their own people.
The sun never sets on the empire is the most powerful country in the world, and when you return to your own country, that sense of security cannot be compared to staying in the United States.
Both parents also believed that their country had enough strength to ensure their safety, but years passed, and Fang Xiaoyu was not seen looking for O'Connor and Evelyn.
For this reason, the parents of the two even specially asked the local police to send people to secretly protect the safety of the two, and there was no movement for most of the year, which can be regarded as reassuring, thinking that O'Connor's abductors did not know that the two had returned to the British Isles. Or even if they knew, they didn't dare to mess around in the British Isles.
O'Connor and Evelyn were taken back to the British Isles by their parents, which Fang Xiaoyu saw in his eyes, but Fang Xiaoyu did not chase after him at that time, that is, he returned to China before, which was regarded as coming to the British Isles.
However, Fang Xiaoyu didn't come directly to find the two of them, after all, in Fang Xiaoyu's opinion, the time had not yet arrived, and even if he took the two away again, he might not be able to find the Bible of the dead.
Sitting in the library, Fang Xiaoyu looked at the slightly immature Evelyn sitting there reading with a book in her hand, I have to say that Evelyn, who is almost fourteen or fifteen years old, is already quite beautiful, especially when she sits there reading a book, the kind of unintentional style makes many people pay attention to her.
Sure enough, she is one of the heroines of this world, Evelyn is really loved by heaven and earth, and her good qualities have been highlighted in her early grades.
Just as Fang Xiaoyu was looking at Evelyn, a young man in a denim suit and a cowboy hat swayed into the library and headed straight for Evelyn.
The young man stepped forward and took the book in front of Evelyn, and said with a bit of pride: "Evelyn, what are you looking at, so engrossed, let me take a look......"
While speaking, the young man opened the book in his hand, only glanced at it and said: "Egyptian pyramids, pharaoh, mummies, I said Evelyn, why do you like to read these books, what mummies, pharaohs, you are a girl......"
Evelyn pouted, snorted and said to the young man: "Brother, you skipped class again, I will tell my mother when you go back." ”
Fang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, it turned out that this young man was Evelyn's brother, Jonathan.
In the original play, Jonathan is also a small supporting character, but this person seems to be responsible for being funny, greedy for money by nature, but there is no lack of cleverness.
As soon as she snatched the scroll back from Jonathan's hand, Evelyn frowned and said, "Brother, if you make trouble again, I'll go to my mother to sue you." ”
Jonathan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Good sister, don't, I'm not afraid that you will be bored here alone?" ”
Evelyn glared at Jonathan and said, "Don't bother me reading." ”
Fang Xiaoyu watched Jonathan leave amusefully.
At this time, a steamer docked, and soon a horse-drawn carriage carrying two generals returning from the Far East headed straight for the Prime Minister's Office.
Colonel Harbo, Captain Ruth, these two were sitting in front of Prime Minister Meg at this time, and in addition to Prime Minister Meg, there were also several high-ranking officers of the army and navy sitting on the side.
The high-ranking people sat there, quietly listening to Colonel Harbour and Captain Ruth talk little by little about their experiences in Huaxia.
In Colonel Harbo's account, they had a good start, but because a group of undead monsters rushed into the barracks at night, it directly led to a rout, and the final defeat was complete, and tens of thousands of elite troops disappeared.
Prime Minister Meg frowned, stared at Colonel Habo, and said with an ugly face: "Undead monster, Colonel Habo, you actually told me that you were defeated by a group of undead monsters, is this the reason you are looking for after the defeat of your army?" ”
No wonder Prime Minister Meg was so angry, so many of them gathered here to listen to Colonel Harbour make up a ridiculous story for them.
What kind of undead monsters, why don't you say that they are a bunch of devils crawling out of hell.
Not only Prime Minister Meg, but even the senior army officials present stared at Habo with ugly faces.
One of the generals yelled at Harbo, "Colonel Habault, is this your statement, are you sure you're not lying?" ”
Harbo took a deep breath and said, "I'm sure I'm not lying, it's true that a group of undead monsters entered the barracks that led to the defeat of the coalition forces, if the Prime Minister and you don't believe me, you can ask the others, after all, I'm not the only one who escaped this battle." ”
Indeed, tens of thousands of people were defeated during the night, and some escaped, and the reason why Colonel Harbour was questioned was simply because Colonel Harbour was the highest-ranking of these people.
Seeing that Colonel Harbour was still stubborn at this time, Prime Minister Meg couldn't help but say angrily: "Come, bring me the interrogation records of those soldiers who have returned from the Far East, I want to see if all of them think that they have encountered an immortal monster." What an undead monster, it's just a joke. ”
It turned out that in addition to Colonel Harbour and Captain Ruth, who were directly summoned by Prime Minister Meg and other high-ranking officials, the other non-commissioned officers who returned with them were also taken to the Prime Minister's Office at this time, but they arranged for routine questioning by staff.
Now Prime Minister Meg is clearly trying to tell the story of a pair of Colonels Harbour and the others.
Taking advantage of this free time, Prime Minister Meg said to Captain Ruth: "Captain Ruth, you tell me how your navy failed, if the defeat of the army can still be said in the past, then your navy has at least dozens of warships, and it is still stuck on the river, you can tell me how dozens of warships on the river have sunk inexplicably." ”
Captain Ruth had a wry smile on his face, none of the people present believed Colonel Harbo's words earlier, but Captain Ruth believed it.
Although it sounds a little incredible, what happened to the army is the same as what happened to their navy, and if it is really said, I am afraid that few of these officers and men present are willing to believe it.
However, Captain Ruth still told everyone present how dozens of ships were overturned by inexplicable waves when there was no wind.
Sure enough, as Captain Ruth had expected, these high-ranking officials, including the Prime Minister, all showed a look of surprise and anger.
Prime Minister Meg patted the table and stared at Captain Ruth and Colonel Harbour and said, "Don't you two want to go to court-martial, you can make up such a ridiculous reason." ”
Saying that, Meg pointed to Captain Ruth and said, "You tell me, how can there be waves when there is no wind, and it is a huge wave that is more than ten meters high enough to overturn the ship, you can tell me how this wave came from." ”
As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, and now Captain Ruth told him that there would be waves more than ten meters high without a little wind, and if he believed it, he would really be a fool.
All the dignitaries present also had angry expressions on their faces, and Captain Ruth's statement made them feel more fooled than the story made up by Colonel Harbo.
Could it be that Captain Ruth thinks that these high-ranking officers of the Admiralty are pig's heads, even if they want to evade responsibility and make up a reason, you especially make up a reason for the past.
Prime Minister Meg, who slapped the table, shouted: "Bring me everyone's statements, and I'll see if the others are making up stories for me in the same way." ”
Soon several staff members placed a stack of paper on the table, and the paper was densely covered with words.
Prime Minister Meg grabbed a handful and handed it to the few people present: "Everyone take a good look and see if any of the soldiers trained by our empire dare to tell the truth." ”
But when Meg and the others saw the contents of the statement from the escaped soldier in their hands, they all showed a look of shock and disbelief.
One by one, I looked at almost all the papers, and the contents on them were almost all incomparably similar.
On the Army's side, almost everyone mentioned Colonel Harbo's earlier mention of the undead monsters storming the barracks and causing the defeat.
Similarly, on the navy side, the escaping naval non-commissioned officers also insisted that there was no wind at that time, but out of thin air, waves more than ten meters high overturned warships.
With trembling hands, Prime Minister Meg sat there, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, for a long time, Prime Minister Meg slapped the table and shouted: "Confession, you are definitely colluding, it seems that you must be sent to a military court before you are willing to tell the truth." ”
Not only Prime Minister Meg, but even all the high-ranking officials present were angry, such a blatant confession was simply a slap in the face.
If this is the fact of the defeat of the coalition army, let's see what it is, the undead monsters, without wind but giving birth to waves of more than ten meters, if they tell these to the people who are demonstrating outside, I don't know if they will be directly stoned to death by the people with rotten eggs.
Colonel Harbour smiled bitterly: "Prime Minister, everyone, what I said is true, there is not a single falsehood, those soldiers who escaped can testify to me." ”
Captain Ruth sighed lightly and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what I said with Colonel Harbour is true, and we also know that the facts we told are indeed unbelievable, but if you don't believe it, you can send someone to Huaxia to investigate, after all, it is not only us who have survived that battle, there must be others." ”
Prime Minister Meg waved his hand and motioned for the guards to take Captain Ruth and Colonel Harbour away, and the office was quiet, and after a while, Prime Minister Meg rubbed his brows and said, "Everyone, whoever goes to explain to the people will take what Captain Ruth and Colonel Harbo have stated." ”
