Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Xiao Letian said with a sneer, "Attracting a tiger for the sake of killing a wolf is obviously not a wise choice. Some people suddenly feel that the Chinese have the potential to become hungry tigers, so they are afraid.

"At this time, the success or failure of Russia is not important, anyway, the expedition fleet has been destroyed, and the rest of the army will not affect Britain's marine interests. At this time, Russia has become a pitiful sheep that needs help, and the aggressive Chinese, especially the fleet that can destroy Russia's navy, has become the biggest threat!"

"That's why some people started to mobilize their troops. They mobilized their warships from various colonies to open up the armory that had been sealed for many years, and took out the war funds that they had been preparing for for for a long time … A sudden ambush is happening right now! "

"Of course they have a reason for doing so. Needless to say, the Zhiyuan Warship staying on the sea is a potential threat to Britain's marine interests. Do you think they will raise a tiger?"

Xiao Letian lightly tapped the table with his finger. "The advantage of numbers is hard to make up with tactics, once the Royal Navy s of Asia go all out, the weak Chinese people will definitely be in a difficult situation." Bulbus Glazed Island, economic circles of Ryukyu, Tanggu, Nanyang's Kentun District, and even the supply lines of the Far East, these are all targets of the British Navy … "

"In any case, this sort of piracy has been used more than once in history. Isn't that what you did when you competed with Spain for the Atlantic route?"

"Of course, you all have one more important goal. You all will keep an eye on the Zhiyuan Warship, either sink or injure it, or lock it up in the port so that it will never dare to go out to sea … "Yeah, you guys have more people, but you guys are amazing!"

Pah pah pah … A burst of monotonous clapping sounds came out, Ai Liguo's smile was incomparably brilliant, he excitedly clapped.

"Truly wonderful, truly wonderful! I must admit that if I were twenty years younger, I would have definitely been seduced by you into thinking that your story is real, and indeed profound!"

"The beauty of your story lies in the fact that you use a very persuasive value to deduce it. Indeed, in the struggle between great powers, the transformation between enemies and friends is very fast. There is no eternal friend, only eternal benefit. I didn't expect you to understand this so well …"

"But after all, this is still a story. It's not a fact, is it? Hahaha, when our Royal Navy didn't fire the first shot, your story will forever be a joke … "

"Minister admitted to this plan in a disguised manner?" The great monk Long Gui continued to chase after the snake without letting it go even if he were to hit it with his rod.

Ai Liguo looked at the monk in surprise, while the officer beside him quickly spoke a few sentences, and then came to a realization, "Ah! Sakamoto Ryoma? A distinguished figure of the Japanese reformist who lured the French into a double agent! I heard that you're also an outstanding swordsman? "Wow, you actually made a name for yourself?"

Ai Liguo shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Before something happens, any story will always be a story. Who can blame us with a story?"

"Don't forget, we have a treaty with the Great Qing. We can move freely on the Qing Nation's coast. This is our power, right? "Hahaha …"

The laughter had angered many of the soldiers present. Chinese Army was the most educated army in Asia, and even in the entire world, it had always been so. This was also the main reason why Xiao Letian was unable to expand his army on such a large scale.

All of the officers present could understand Ai Liguo's words. To be so arrogant and proud, treating a country's coastal waters as his own backyard, such humiliation was simply intolerable.

Xiao Letian allowed Ai Liguo to laugh freely, looking at him neither happy nor sad, as if he was looking at a clown. In just three minutes, Ai Liguo had become awkward and he put away the mocking smile on his face and looked at Xiao Letian. Prime Minister arranged to meet me on this deserted island just to tell me a story? "I've really wasted my time …"

Xiao Letian was amused, and laughed very happily: "The story just now did not look that exciting! "Then let me tell you the second story and see if you are interested?"

With that, Ai Liguo did not need to respond to Xiao Letian and drank some wine to moisten his throat before he continued, "At the end of the first story, the high officials who were conspiring to set up a sneak attack are already prepared for war, but they suddenly realized something very strange, and that is, they were not able to obtain the authority to conduct military operations in the country …"

"What's going on?"

With a crisp smack, Ai Liguo hit the table and stood up, "Shameless! You dare to eavesdrop on the British Embassy? "You are declaring war …"

"Oh, oh, oh …" Don't be so angry, didn't I just say that? This is a story that will help you get over your boredom this afternoon. Why do you take it seriously? Could this story of mine be true? Have you admitted everything in the story? "

"Argument... "You are a scoundrel!" Ai Liguo growled as he clenched his teeth.

"You don't want to hear the story, do you? Alright, I won't talk about it anymore. Let's drink, drink … Come, come, let's chat about the most beautiful brand of all the eight major alleys, alright? Minister must have been there quite a few times, hahaha … "

Everyone was tickled by Xiao Letian's shamelessness, while the British side was so angry that they were about to pull out their guns and fight. However, seeing that the surrounding Chinese Marines had the advantage, the soldiers could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger.

Ai Liguo took a few deep breaths before calming himself down, bringing along the special smile that only diplomats could wear. "Alright, I'll apologize to Prime Minister, let's continue with the story okay …"

"You want to hear it? Are you sure you want to hear it? Aren't you going to smash the table in anger again? "Why do I feel like I don't dare to believe you? Why don't you write a promise that you won't be angry with me first …"

"Enough!" Ai Liguo was completely enraged, "Xiao Letian! Don't forget that you are the Chinese Prime Minister, so please use the language that suits your status to communicate with me politely. "

"Good, good, good …" To be defeated by you, you really don't have any sense of humor at all! "Since you want to know that story, let me tell you something!"

"Speaking of which, those schemers have always been scheming in the dark. They thought that no one would know of their little scheme, but they simply didn't think that there was actually a conspiracy behind it …"

"Think about it carefully. Why have the number of telegrams sent back from Europe noticeably decreased in the last month? Has something big happened in Europe?"
