Subtitle of this chapter: The real boss is here!
20:25 GMT.
"Woo..."
A truck suddenly drove into the road in front of the Japanese Embassy.
I don't know what happened, but the car was driving crookedly, which made people nervous.
"Bang!"
As expected, the truck finally drove onto the sidewalk and crashed into a streetlight. However, because the truck was not going very fast, there was no major damage to the vehicle and no particularly loud noise was made.
"laugh……"
But there was thick steam coming out of the front of the car, probably because the water tank was broken.
"What's going on?"
"Let's go and take a look!"
Seeing this accident happen, the security guards and police officers in front of the embassy naturally gathered over, and the "passersby" followed them to the front of the car.
"Hey buddy, are you okay?"
A policeman walked to the side of the cab and asked the driver inside.
"I, I'm fine..." A strange lizard-like face appeared in the car window, along with a black muzzle of a gun. "Don't move!"
“Oh my God!”
The policeman knew it was wrong, but he still faithfully took the whistle hanging on his chest and put it in his mouth...
"clang!"
Chen Long fired without hesitation, and the bullet hit the man's chest, and the cop fell to the ground.
The dull sound of gunfire was the signal to begin.
Those "guests" and "passersby" all pulled out their strange-looking pistols and mercilessly pulled the trigger at the security guards not far in front of them.
The reason for dividing into two groups is to be able to get closer to these security personnel.
Imagine if a truck drove up to them and a bunch of strange men in black robes got out of the car, they would definitely know something was fishy. Even if they didn't draw their guns and fight back, if one or two of them ran over or blew their sirens like that cop did, it would make the operation impossible to proceed.
“Ding, ding, ding, ding…”
Shooting at such a close distance would naturally not miss, so nearly ten security personnel all lay on the ground.
However, none of them died immediately, and most of them didn't even bleed. They either fainted on the ground or rolled around groaning.
In fact, one of the main principles that "Comrade Tai Sui" followed when planning this action was to avoid killing as much as possible, preferably without anyone dying.
Again, even if Seres are terrorists, they must be civilized, philanthropic and merciful.
Therefore, all of them used pistols modified from starting pistols, and the bullets inside not only used rubber bullets, but also had reduced gunpowder.
But even with reduced gunpowder, the sound of gunfire was inevitably heard.
"Quick, quick, quick."
"Watch the door and ignore those idlers!"
Following Xiao Pohai's order, all the black-robed men in the car jumped off, while the others put on their black robes with big red flowers on their chests and put on zodiac masks.
Of course there were other people at the scene, and most of them had no idea what was going on, but some of those who were quick-witted had already run away.
"Check weapons!"
They all carried Chicago typewriters on their backs, and had either revolvers or Brownings on their waists, and they also had a few grenades hanging from their backs.
"Get your gear!"
Six of them were divided into three groups and carried three large boxes from the car.
"Comrades, follow me!"
Then, under the leadership of Chen Long, the eleven zodiac animals rushed towards the gate of the embassy...
"You, the people of the British Empire these past few generations, are no match for me."
Our Master Yuan shook his head and sighed, "Mr. Churchill, look at you British people now. Not only are you unwilling to die for the great cause of your British Empire's global hegemony, you are even willing to betray the Anglo-Japanese Alliance..."
"What would Queen Elizabeth think of destroying the Spanish Armada?"
"You can't kill anyone who stands in your way of imperial hegemony. You can't even take care of little Ireland, and yet you still want the Americans to promise not to interfere..."
"How would the Hanoverian emperors who dealt with the Corsican monster feel about this?"
"The most important thing is that you British people are not even willing to raise the next generation for the British Empire..."
“Would Queen Victoria, who brought the empire to its peak, be so angry that she would cry?”
In 1913, when World War I broke out, the British mainland population was around 45 million. By 1939, on the eve of World War II, this number was only 47 million. However, even so, it was still much larger than France, whose population increased from 40 million to 41 million.
Germany wasn't much better, with 65 million during World War I and only 66 million in 1933. However, after His Majesty the Temperance annexed Austria, the Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia, and western Poland, he finally had 80 million Hans.
This is the curse of industrialization.
"If this continues, will the British Empire have enough willing people to sustain the largest empire in human history?"
"In my opinion, the British Empire will end sooner or later!"
He looked around at everyone and sneered, "Will you be worthy of the ancestors of the empire when the time comes?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's face changed. However, the white people nearby became extremely disdainful, looking at this Chinese man as if he were a clown.
Churchill laughed in anger: "Hahaha..."
"Hahaha..." With him taking the lead, the others also started laughing.
It’s okay for Americans who gave the British Empire a chance to say this, but what right do the Chinese, who were beaten by the great powers, have to say this?
However, Yuan Yanshu still looked calm and stood there with his hands behind his back.
He maintained a sneer on his face, thinking to himself, Laugh, laugh, laugh. Laugh even more cheerfully, because later you won't be able to cry.
Churchill stopped laughing and said in a loud voice: "Dr. Yuan, we British can't do it, but you Chinese can..."
Just at this moment, the band in the hall began to play.
Lord Fool immediately gave himself a thumbs up. His timing was very accurate.
In this way, the only historical anecdote left in history is the story of Laozi cleverly confronting the fat man.
Another twenty years... this period of pretending to be cool and then getting slapped in the face is a bit long. But by then, I will once again be able to prove my sharp tongue, outstanding vision, and extraordinary knowledge.
This music arrived just in time, but it was incredibly depressing. No wonder the Empire of Japan didn't last long; the national anthem, "Kimi ga Yo," was practically a funeral rite.
When they heard this song, everyone in the hall knew that the real person was coming.
Churchill had no choice but to glare at him fiercely and keep silent.
Sure enough, the muezzin loudly called out his name: "His Royal Highness Prince Di of the Empire of Japan has arrived!"
After the Japanese national anthem was played, the majestic sound of "God Save the King (Queen)" was rang out again.
I have to say that the British national anthem is quite interesting to listen to, otherwise there wouldn't be so many countries that copied it and adopted it as their own national anthem. This is what Tsarist Russia and the German Empire did.
"The Duke of Cornwall, the Duke of Rothesay, the Earl of Carlick, the Baron of Renfrew, the Lord of the Outer Isles and the Lord of Scotland, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland have arrived!"
Listen, being a muezzin is also a technical job. It takes skill to recite so many titles in one breath without any confusion.
On the high stairs, two young men, one tall and one short, wearing formal attire, sashes and medals, walked side by side, one in the east and one in the west... There was a slight height difference between them, so they didn't walk down together very "side by side".
One of them is naturally Hirohito whom our Master Yuan has met, and the other handsome young man is naturally the future Edward VIII who "loves beauty more than power".
His full name is Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, a name that includes the names of his grandfather Edward VII, his maternal grandfather Christian VIII of Denmark, his father George V, and the patron saints of England (St. George), Scotland (St. Andrew), Ireland (St. Patrick), and Wales (St. David).
Coincidentally, the Prince of Wales was also born in 1894, the same age as our Master Yuan.
The two of them walked to the platform in the middle of the stairs and waved to the people below.
The two or three hundred guests below bowed their heads as men and knelt down as women.
Only Foreign Secretary George Curzon and Japanese Minister to the UK Matsui Keishiro walked up the stairs.
They bowed to the two princes, then made way for each other, and Curzon came to the loudspeaker first.
He nodded to everyone, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket and read: "Ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of Prime Minister George Lloyd, I would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Di of the Empire of Japan for the invitation..."
Hearing this, Yuan Yan suddenly felt a little regretful. The current British Prime Minister probably couldn't come.
“Ding, ding, ding, ding…”
Suddenly, there were continuous dull explosions outside the door!
