Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 293 Shocked Europe! Done!
(Damn, this is also reviewed?))
This time at the dock, Su Yi gave a speech in pure English.

Moreover, this speech was carefully prepared by Negative Bamei and others, and Su Yi made very detailed revisions.

So the effect is of course very stunning.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

After the speech, Crown Prince Edward took Su Yi and his wife to Buckingham Palace.

In the following time, he had a public meeting with the Prime Minister and a meeting with the Queen of England.

The most important thing is to meet with Prince Albert.

These two people have known each other for almost ten years, and this was the first time they met, and they really had a great time chatting.

However, no formal negotiations were conducted afterwards.

Rather, it is a series of diplomatic activities.

Attend various banquets and participate in congressional speeches.

Next, Su Yi went to Cambridge University, Oxford University, and London University to give lectures.

These three speeches truly shocked the audience.

Each speech is different, with the most professional explanations from various aspects such as politics, economics, philosophy, etc.

And they are facing almost the smartest people in the world.

Except for a very small number of people, most of these people were full of contempt for Su Yi.

Of course, it is still because of prejudice. They feel that it is impossible for the ancient, backward, and decadent East to give birth to advanced ideas and theories.

Moreover, they have been in the highest academic institution of the world's most powerful empire for a long time, so of course they are full of the idea that I am the best in the world.

After Su Yi came to London, she conquered these British people in appearance, demeanor and temperament.

But in terms of connotation, it has not yet been achieved.

Su Yi's first public lecture was at University College London. The title of the lecture was "On Money".

The writings of Keynes.

Of course, I only cut out the most essential part.

But even so, it is still tens of thousands of words long.

I really don’t know how much manpower and material resources were spent on these tens of thousands of words of speech.

Negative Bamei invited all the relevant economic experts to refine and slightly modify Keynes's work.

More than a dozen people revised it a dozen times and spent hundreds of thousands. (more of a favor)
This is the final draft.

Needless to say, Keynes' status is the leading figure in economics in the 20th century.

His theory must have been controversial in 1865. To be less precise, some of it was too advanced.

But what is important is controversy.

There was a very large audience for this speech, about three hundred people.

Half are scholars, professors and students, while the other half are celebrities, including many members of Congress and members of the royal family.

Su Yi had given a speech in the parliament before, and her speech was very good, but after all, it was very official, talking about cooperation and mutual benefit between the two countries, etc., and there was not much room for improvement.

But this time, we can go into great depth.

His wife, Princess Shouxi, was sitting below, looking at her husband nervously.

She also knows now what a picky group of people this is.

She was really afraid that her husband would be treated rudely next.

In front of a simple speaker, Su Yi started his speech.

Still using pure English.

Just a thousand words.

Many people present were shocked.

Because such a top-notch duel is not in vain, and if there is something, there is something.

Nothing means nothing.

And Su Yi, is this more than just something?
His stuff is simply terrifying.

Soon, everyone present was mesmerized.

This speech was really profound.

However, it is also too subversive.

Because there are a lot of private goods in it, predicting the inevitable collapse of the gold standard in the future, and so on.

It took several hours to write a speech of more than 20,000 words.

However, everyone below was not enjoying themselves to the fullest, not even Su Yi.

So he started a higher-level speech.

Economic crisis and macro-control.

Of course, this was also a manuscript prepared by Negative Bamei and others, but part of it came from Su Yi's own expression.

Over the past thirty years, the British Empire has suffered from an economic crisis due to overcapacity.

However, few solutions were found.

But now Su Yi's speech theory is completely enlightening.

Moreover, it is not a castle in the air.

It is an extremely solid theory that even echoes reality one by one.

This speech adds up to 40,000 to 50,000 words, which is really amazing.

Although the content here is controversial, the level is too high and the analysis is too profound.

It is completely unimaginable that in ancient and backward China, there are such sharp, advanced and forward-looking economic theories.

Towards the end of the speech, I could remember the warm applause every once in a while.

When the speech ended, the applause was like thunder.

Princess Shouxi also stood up and applauded, looking at Su Yi with eyes filled with little stars, even with a sense of unreality.

This...is this my husband?

How does he know so much?
Why is my husband so powerful? He doesn't talk about this with me usually. When I'm with him, what I see the most is him acting like a gangster.

Playing tricks on my fourth sister.

Playing gangster on me.

Playing hooligans against the Queen Mother (I didn’t see it, just making up my mind.)
Every day he either sleeps with me, touches me, or bites me.

Is such a tall and distinguished man really my husband?
Then, she began to imagine what it would be like if her brother, Emperor Xianfeng, came to visit and give a speech.
I can't even imagine how unbearable it would be.

Then, the unimaginable question came to her mind again.

Can a husband like her really just stop here?

Can a husband like her really be inferior to that immature nephew?

As soon as she touched this issue, she immediately instinctively shook off the idea.

........................

This speech made Su Yi an honorary professor at University College London.

Newspapers were quick to give enthusiastic feedback.

There was even a special supplement published that published all the contents of Su Yi's speech.

In London, and even in the UK as a whole, it caused an extremely fierce response.

Of course, it also caused huge controversy.

It was almost a storm of public opinion.

I don’t know how many newspapers put him on the front page again.

Next, Su Yi held a closed-door meeting with the Prime Minister of the British Empire.

It was relatively unsatisfactory.

Su Yi put forward three conditions: a complete ban on opium, asking the British Empire to take the lead in giving up the navigation rights of the Yangtze River and inland rivers, and prohibiting foreigners from missionary rights in China.

The other party agreed to the last one, and the second one could be extended for twenty years, but he was still unwilling to give up.

Article 1 expresses strong opposition.

Because the opium trade between the British Empire and the Qing Dynasty has now reached a very alarming level.

It is indeed difficult to ask so many people to give up such a huge benefit.

Moreover, Su Yi took the lead in banning the cultivation of opium in any province in the country, which created more favorable conditions for opium dumping in the British Empire.

Negotiations are over for now.

Immediately, Su Yi and Prince Albert had dinner and had a semi-formal meeting.

"Mr. Regent, your negotiation style really surprises me." The prince said.

Su Yi asked: "Is this a criticism?"

The prince said: "From a secular perspective, it is indeed a criticism. But from another perspective, it is a very high compliment. Because all negotiations are a process of mutual pulling and pulling. In your words, it is asking for a high price. Sit down and pay back the money.”

"But from ten years ago, your negotiation style has been extremely sincere and uncompromising."

"The first price is the lowest price."

"The conditions you offer always take into account the interests of both parties and are extremely sincere. But they are also extremely tough and will not make any concessions."

Su Yi said: "As the ruler of a weak country, my negotiation style probably makes the Prime Minister very dissatisfied. It cannot satisfy the glory of the British Empire, right?"

Prince Albert said nothing.

But what he meant was that there was an essential difference between politicians and kings.

"Others don't understand you that deeply. Their arrogance and prejudice have existed for a long time and have strong inertia. And the weakness of your country makes you, a political strongman, seem so out of place." The prince explained in another language inner thoughts.

His understanding of Su Yi was already very profound.

The two have had spiritual exchanges and political dealings for nearly ten years.

The Prime Minister and many people in Congress have only just begun to understand Su Yi deeply.

Or because of the victory in the war with Russia.

........................

Su Yi was not so eager for success in negotiations.

Next, he went to Oxford University to start a second round of lectures.

The first speech was shocking and amazing.

The second speech took it to a higher level.

It is simply the masterpiece of a master.

The title of his lecture was "Being and Time".

The crystallization of the wisdom of the German philosopher Heidegger, one of the most classic works in the world for hundreds of years.

Still, tens of thousands of words were extracted.

And because philosophy is more academic and niche, it also seems to be more sophisticated.

It was truly a complete conquest.

What was originally only one philosophy lecture turned into ten.

Ever since, I have finished the entire book "Being and Time".

It is truly a magnificent masterpiece, shocking beyond compare.

And the audience is becoming more and more numerous and noble.

Finally, Prince Albert, Princess Alice, Her Majesty the Queen, and the Prime Minister all arrived.

Some people here are actually not interested in philosophy.

But... I can still be deeply intoxicated. …………

The second speech once again set off a storm of academic and public opinion.

The Prime Minister even called in a think tank and asked a few questions.

"How high is the level of Su Yi's speech?"

A philosophy professor said: "The best."

The Prime Minister asked: "China's top?"

"Do not."

"Britain's top?"

"Do not."

"The best in Europe?"

"Do not."

"The best in the world?"

"Correct!"

The Prime Minister fell silent.

Then, he asked the second question.

"Did someone ghostwrite his speech?"

The philosopher said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, who can ghostwrite a total of more than 400,000 words? I know all the people who can ghostwrite, and there is no possibility. Is there another world-famous philosophical sage in China?"

The Prime Minister shook his head and said: "Impossible. How can it be possible in such a backward and decadent country?"

The philosopher said: "They have great philosophers, and they are very advanced. However, it is completely Chinese-style, Eastern-style philosophy, not world-wide."

........................

The last speech was about politics.

But this time, it's not so high and low at all.

Because of the sensational nature of the first two speeches, most of the attendees at the third speech were politicians.

Senior members of the royal family, including the Prime Minister, were still present.

They were also curious about what Su Yi was going to say in this last speech.

As a result, this speech made everyone's hair stand on end.

The title of the speech is "If there is no China".

This is not a speech, but a prophecy.

An epic prophecy.

A complete deduction of the situation in Europe and the world.

Moreover, the deduction lasted for fifty years.

The deduction of the subsequent Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War.

The fall of czarist Russia.

The outbreak of World War I.

Of course, for this world, it is completely alien.

In fact, it is a grand narration of what happened in European history.

Assume that the great eastern powers do not rise.

Of course, this mammoth political deduction is actually very dangerous.

Many people in London will instinctively think that your political prophecy is a deduction of what the world will look like in the next hundred years if there is no East, or if the Eastern powers do not rise.

So, what if there is a rise of a big country in the East?
Would the outcome have been worse for the British Empire?
However, overall, Su Yi's political deduction still has more advantages than disadvantages.

There is a theme contained in this. As long as the two countries form an alliance, the British hegemony system can be maintained for nearly a hundred years.

Of course, this actually makes it easier to derive the threat theory of Eastern powers.

But at this time, anyone who proposes this theory will probably be ridiculed by everyone.

Moreover, Su Yi also had an even crazier deduction, or a kind warning.

The Civil War was coming to an end, and the Union Army was about to win. Of course, there is nothing remarkable about this prediction, and many people can make similar judgments.

The shocking prophecy is that Su Yi said that President Lincoln of the United States is likely to be assassinated.

This prediction is crazy and even a little irrational.

It's easy to wonder if this has something to do with Su Yi?

Moreover, he looks like a wizard.

When it comes to this position, the fewer tricks the better.

To walk in the royal way.

But Su Yi hesitated again and again and took such a risk.

Again for the same reason, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

There is another risk point. Will Su Yi cause a butterfly storm when traveling through this world, preventing Lincoln from being assassinated?

The conclusion is no.

Because Lincoln was assassinated not by chance, but by necessity due to conflicting interests.

Maybe the date will change, maybe the location will change.

But the probability of this happening is still very, very high.

On the contrary, after Su Yi made this prediction, he asked Lincoln to increase security measures so that the assassination would not happen.

All in all, it was indeed an adventure.

However, Su Yi was not so absolute in his prediction.

Instead, he raised a concern and persuaded President Lincoln to pay attention to assassinations and strengthen security measures.

Even this detail was ignored.

Because Su Yi's other prophecy was even more terrifying.

In the Austro-Prussian War, the powerful Austria would be defeated.

The Franco-Prussian War would break out and France would lose.

The colonial rebellion war (alluding to the Boer War) was the starting point for the decline of British hegemony.

World War I would break out and Germany would challenge the world order.

This piece of news simply caused a tsunami-like reaction.

If the first two speeches were not at the bottom, this third speech would be scolded.

You are a politician, not a magician.

But after listening to it live, I found that this was not a magic trick, but a very complete and detailed deduction of the world situation.

Despite mixed reviews, the third speech caused far more sensation than the first two.

Because it is too controversial and topical.

The huge controversy even caused the British Prime Minister to suspend his meeting with Su Yi.

Su Yi's previous performance was amazing and shocking.

So in the third speech, Su Yi's performance was rebellious and uncontrollable.

Shows a strong personality.

It is even incompatible with this era.

however……

The controversy didn't last long.

Just over half a month later, an extremely shocking news swept across the UK and Europe like a storm.

President Lincoln of the United States was assassinated and died.

A moment...

Su Yi's enthusiasm reached its highest point.

"The King from the East, the great and mysterious statesman."

"Wizard, wizard, wizard from the east."

"Political strongman flashes London."

All newspapers are praising him and beginning to pay attention to his subsequent political deductions.

Although it will be controversial, questioned, wary and so on.

Will bring uncertainty.

But...this is the Western world.

A world where the strong is respected.

The Qing Dynasty was too weak. Su Yi needed to use this method if he wanted to make his political voice heard by the whole world.

The result...is really good.

Having a sense of presence is more important than anything else.

When the great powers want to do something in the future, they can at least think about Su Yi's political deduction.

..........................................

The Prime Minister once again held talks with Su Yi.

"Why did your deduction only last less than fifty years?"

Su Yi said: "Because in fifty years, I will no longer be in this world."

The Prime Minister said: "You want to tell me that next we must return our focus to Europe."

Su Yi said: "Yes, your country's interests in Asia can really be helped by us."

The Prime Minister said: "In your last speech, you did not behave like a qualified politician."

Ha ha ha.

In the future, such politicians will become mythical figures.

Su Yi said: "I think it is more important to let the world hear your voice."

The Prime Minister said: "Moreover, your behavior may make us wary of you."

Su Yi said: "In my country, you don't need to be careful for at least a few decades."

The Prime Minister said: "I believe that your country will be strongly protested by the United States soon."

Su Yi said: "No, a dead president doesn't have much weight, and I do it entirely out of concern."

"And the fundamental purpose of my deduction is to avoid major events that will harm the British Empire and to point out the way forward for your country, isn't it?"

"You may not listen, you may ridicule me for not knowing the heights of heaven and earth, but you cannot doubt my friendship with the British Empire."

The Prime Minister said: "As for the complete ban on opium, it is absolutely impossible for us to publicly express your relevant policies. It is absolutely impossible."

"However, we can make another attempt to compensate these business groups with additional benefits that are higher than those of the opium trade."

"And it will take five years to complete this initiative."

"As long as there is sufficient benefit compensation, we can acquiesce, but... it is absolutely impossible to sign a contract that publicly supports your country's ban on opium."

Very good, this is all Su Yi wants.

So far, Su Yi's visit to London was basically a success.

..........................................

Note: I have finally finished writing. I will get up at six o'clock tomorrow and go home the day after tomorrow. Thank you all.
