Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

"Long live the Queen! Long live England! Long live the people! Ai Xinjueluozaichun dared to say those words? "Is his skin thicker than the city walls despite his young age?"

King Yi also nodded his head, "You are shameless enough. You are the emperor of Great Qing after all, yet you do not care about your status? Are you really so shameless as to flatter me? "

Hearing King Yi's sarcasm, Xiao Letian's face turned red and then white. In the end, he hurriedly stopped his brother from speaking, "Enough, don't say anymore. I didn't mean it that way …"

Speaking to here, Xiao Letian said in embarrassment, "Actually... Actually, the speech is mine... I was prepared to say it tomorrow, but I didn't expect that Zai Chun, that little bastard, would steal it … "

"What?" Everyone in the restaurant cried out in alarm, as they were all dumbstruck. The bone dregs ball on the fork in Jin Sanshun's hand actually tumbled to the ground due to the shaking of his hand.

King Yi's eyes opened wider than an egg. "You?" You're … "This …"

Xiao Letian also felt embarrassed, he did not want to tell everyone about this speech in advance, because if he told them he was flattering the British, there would definitely be people who would object.

To this day, the Chinese people were very proud. Even in the face of the world's strongest nation, Britain, these young people were still unwilling to admit defeat.

If Xiao Letian's speech was exposed in advance, then he would definitely have met with strong objections. The Chinese people were too arrogant, as the leader of the Chinese people, how could he be so shameless as to flatter?

However, Xiao Letian was not a person of this era, he had experienced the kind of era where everyone thought they were stupid and humorous when they saw the big bang online. To tell the truth, the young people who were used to the internet era all had some characteristics of a twitchy face and valued profit but not fame.

How much is a catty? Solving the real problem was the real thing.

Furthermore, in this era, there were many people who flattered Britain. Even the Prussian Iron Blood Prime Minister did not listen to them, and on many occasions, they even expressed to Britain that Prussia would definitely not develop a great navy and wished the Queen a long life.

This was what Bismark was smart for. He knew what he should do, in the three wars of Prussia's unification, Britain had never held Prussia back or fought against him.

Even if Prussia had historically gone to Paris, Britain remained neutral and completely ignored Prussia's advances. There were not only strategic considerations, there was also the contribution of Bismark's mature and experienced deceptive tactics.

It was because Bismark had assured Britain more than once that Prussia would not develop a large-scale navy that he had won the opportunity to rise. Otherwise, Prussia would not be able to unite the German Federation.

It was a pity that Prince Karl's son, who was also the future William II, was unable to grasp Bismark's superb diplomatic skills and directly overturned all the policies of the old prime minister, starting to form the deep blue navy.

It was at that time that a deep rift appeared in the England that he and his cousin ruled, until the outbreak of the last war, when the rise of the Germany fell into a cliff, and the glory of England finally came to a halt, and the power of the United States began to emerge.

Xiao Letian was well aware of the history behind this event. He would never let himself commit the mistakes of the William II, and of course, he would never make a promise to restrict the development of the navy like Bismark had.

At this time, they could only lie low and try their best. They would learn from others and secretly accumulate naval strength, and on the surface, they would fiercely flatter the British. At least, they could not use themselves as the greatest threat.

As long as he could give the Chinese ten years of peace and development time, it did not matter if he kowtowed to the queen. Since he was already so old, kowtowing should not be a loss for his seniority.

Xiao Letian prepared a few speech drafts and placed them in his cabin. These speech drafts were originally not a secret, they were originally meant to be read in front of the entire British public, so he did not perform any confidential handling.

Never would he have thought that Zai Chun would actually see this speech. The little emperor read it three times before remembering it and translating it into English.

Xiao Letian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "He actually dared to read it! What kind of monarch did I teach him!? "

After the King Yi finished listening to the entire process, he frowned and kept quiet for a full minute. "You really messed up, this speech shouldn't have been seen by Zai Chun …"

"To be honest, it's not a big deal for you to praise Great Britain. I've personally witnessed the power of Great Britain in Europe over the past few years. This is an insurmountable mountain on the road to the Chinese race. It's better to numb it in advance …"

"Fang Guan and I just watched the entire process from the crowd... I have to say, the effect is too good. This speech directly conquered all the English people here, and even the nobles at that time were moved! "

"Take a look. The entire European newspaper must be filled with Zai Chun's speeches and photos tomorrow or the next day. His reputation is going to skyrocket! "You really did marry him for nothing. It's a pity, really a pity …"

Luo Huo put down the wine cup in his hand, "No wonder the waves of cheers from the shore are so loud, it's almost overturning the sky! I was wondering why this Englishman was so enthusiastic. "So, why are you here?"

"Pah …" This little thief is really shameless! "

Xiao Letian waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it! "It's just a flattering speech. If it's lost, so be it. This kind of reputation is useful to ordinary citizens, but is of little use to the upper echelons …"

"If I really want to negotiate with the United Kingdom, I still have to rely on the transportation of benefits …" "Brother, let's talk about your progress. How is Gladstone's attitude?"

When he finally got to the most important point, King Yi was infuriated when he heard Ge Lasi's name. With a bang, he placed his wine cup on the table. "Fang Guan, tell me! "I feel so angry just thinking about it..."

Fang Guan stuck out his tongue and looked at Xiao Letian apologetically: "Master, I'm sorry, this old cunning fox is too difficult to deal with. Moreover, his skin is thicker than yours, even if he received the money, he still won't do anything …"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk …" How can you speak? Since when has the old master been so thick-skinned! " Xiao Letian glared with his eyes and was about to retort, but in the end, all of the brothers booed and jeered at him.

Fang Guan laughed while using his fan to cover his mouth, "Yes, of course master is thin-skinned, we sisters all know that … To get back to the main story, we've given Gladstone £1.4 million in political donations so far... "

"But it's not enough. The old man still wants 800 thousand pounds!"

"Not only that, after giving him the eight hundred thousand, he won't guarantee that he will get along with us peacefully. We don't even have a treaty that we want …"

"More than two million pounds. He only sold the chance to see the leader alone, and he even said the additional conditions!"
