Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

"Everyone please be quiet and put away your notebooks. This meeting is highly confidential and does not allow any form of writing …" Under Xiao Letian's strict orders, all the higher ups of the house kept their notebooks, and everyone turned to look at him.

In the entire room, there was only one exception, and that was the person in charge of the Home Note Group, Wang Junlan. However, everyone knew that the Home Note was a special group that recorded the leader's words and actions. With a separate system to restrict him, it was extremely safe, so no one was afraid of the Home Note leaking information.

Xiao Letian knocked on the table and coughed lightly: "I have always wanted to hold this meeting, but because the European preparations have never reached my desired goal, I am not sure if I can proceed with the plan, so I was delayed …"

"However, the King Yi has just sent us the latest information. Our garrison personnel in Europe have finally made a big breakthrough and the most difficult link of the European strategy has finally been linked. Although the joining point is still weak, the trend has already taken shape.

"Today, I can tell everyone that we will probably be staying in Europe for a very long time. Maybe a year, maybe a year and a half. After all, we are going to participate in a war, and we still need to engage in a few difficult negotiations …"

"Why do I have to keep Xiao Hexin in the Ryukyu? After I leave for a long period of time, only he and Dragon Lord, these two seniors, can control the scene … "

"Maybe we'll be out for two new years!"

The surrounding high-ranking officials were all whispering to each other. No one had expected that this state visit would take so long. The time limit for a normal visit had already been exceeded.

However, no one questioned the leader's decision. After all, the Chinese were here on a diplomatic mission, and at the moment, except for the Prussian high-ranking officials, no other countries in Europe believed that the Chinese were here to fight in Europe.

"In Europe, we need to fight two battles, one open and one dark. We also need to finish off two opponents, one open and one dark …"

"A heated battle in public is the same as the Franco-Prussian War. Bismark and I have already reached an agreement that next year is the best time to strike! "It's late July, and there are still four more months until 1870. By then, Prussia will be ready for war according to plan."

"All the reserve troops will be trained and ready for battle and the diplomatic negotiations will come to an end …" No one is willing to negotiate with Napoleon the Third. If they want to deal with that arrogant madman, then he will get to taste the iron fists of war! "

"This is a war on the open, and a war in the dark is a series of diplomatic negotiations with the British, with the Russian, after the war and with France... Don't think that the negotiations will be so easy, this kind of war without smoke is actually even more tragic! "

"This is a battle between a light and a dark. We still have a light and a dark opponent!"

On the open side, the opponents are France and Sha Ao! "But the opponent in the shadows …"

Xiao Letian suddenly became silent. His eyes surveyed his surroundings, as if he was reminding everyone to carefully listen to every word below.

"Our secret enemy is also our real and ultimate enemy … And that is England! "

None of them spoke a word, but all of their expressions became serious. They knew that today was an important meeting that involved the core strategy of the Chinese race, and every word that Xiao Letian said would affect their future lives.

"That's right, our ultimate enemy is Britain, because in this world, no matter how much you want to develop a country, it is inevitable that you have to solve the problem of relations with Britain! It can't be helped, since he has already become a global empire, his influence has already surpassed any country in the history of mankind! "

"We cannot be arrogant and conceited. The British Empire's reputation is not just for show, they have the world's largest colony. They far surpass everyone else! Their resources are innumerable, and their industrial strength is a hundred times ours! "

"Do you know? In the Victorian era, the UK produced 40% of the world's industrial products each year. In terms of Europe and the United States, the UK produced 55% of the total industrial products! "

"This is the foundation of Britain. The strength of all the countries in the entire continental Europe combined are not his match, even if we add the America to that, it would only be a draw!"

"Now do you know the horrors of England? "To be honest, with the strength of the Chinese, compared to the British, we should be considered ants fighting against elephants …"

"Maybe you should ask, if the gap is so huge, why do we have to make Britain our opponent?"

"The answer is very simple, because the relationship between countries is mutual. It's not something we can be friendly with just because we want to be friendly with each other!"

"If we Chinese don't develop, we will maintain our current scale until the end of time. Then Britain will not be our enemy!" "However, that's impossible. Our ultimate goal is to establish a united States family of our Chinese race in the Western Pacific Ocean. We must seize the benefits from the ocean …"

"At that time, even if we do not want to be enemies with Britain, they will take the initiative to start a war with us! Therefore, from now on, we have to prepare for battle, and the string in our heart must be stretched taut! "

Xiao Letian's words caused all the people present to be moved. Today, the head of State had brought up a topic that many people did not expect, and the high officials present were not like the frogs in the well from before. They had come out of their countries to see the world clearly, and had done an in-depth study of the international situation.

To put it in a disheartened tone, everyone present knew very well how strong Britain was. Even Xiang Ying from the Extreme Eagle Sect did not even have the thought of going to war with Britain.

Especially during the Royal Navy's escort mission, it was a British display of power and muscle show for the Chinese. With dozens of Iron-armored battleship surrounding the Chinese fleet, it was a signal to the Chinese that the British navy was strong and invincible.

Even Xiao Letian did not reveal a single trace of war with Britain in his previous work life! Even the hand of Wang Junlan, who was taking notes, subconsciously shook, as a puddle of ink was smeared on the white paper.

Xiao Letian saw the unease and nervousness of the crowd. He suddenly laughed, "Don't worry too much, what I am talking about is our long-term strategy for the future. I should say that this kind of intense battle will not happen within twenty years!"

"And it would be unrealistic for me to attempt to defeat England in twenty or thirty years! What I want is twenty years of lying low, including thirty years of living in poverty... "

"Let us Chinese have the power to fight against Britain in Asia! As long as we can achieve a draw, our Chinese people will be victorious! "
