Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Listening to his subordinates' flattery, Gladstone did not act rashly. This was the basic quality of a mature statesman, which was immunity to flattery and flattery. It was able to keep his mind calm for a long time.

"What are Benjamin's group attacking me for? That I'm an unambitious isolationist? That I'm a coward who doesn't dare to fight? "

"Hehe, a bunch of idiots. A bunch of war maniacs who only know how to kill people, what benefits can they bring to the Empire?"

"All of you must remember, the British Empire is already the pinnacle of the human world. There is no other country above us that can be used as reference.

Gladstone pointed at the empty space in front of him and said with a serious expression, "The Chinese have an old saying, and that is that one cannot withstand the cold at high places! "As there are no more forerunners up there, we have already entered a muddy swamp with no road signs, or perhaps a maze …"

"There's no reference for success or failure. Every time we take action, we have to judge for ourselves and even gamble for right or wrong!"

"We have to be careful with every step. Every decision we make involves millions of pounds, and it will affect the well-being of millions of people. We have to be careful …"

"If we make a decision, or a certain kind of investment, we will only be able to maintain our position as number one, but we have failed? I'm afraid that the second place will ruthlessly tear its way up. The law of the jungle is always followed between nations! "

"Do you know why we did not invest so much money into the Iron-armored battleship before? This is the logic behind it. Every upgrade of naval equipment involves billions of dollars in investments. You can't be careless! "

"Let the Prussian and the Chinese people pave a path for us, and let the Zhiyuan Warship's actual combat provide data for our judgement. Only then can we guarantee the success rate of our investment! It was precisely because the Zhiyuan Warship had a few beautiful victories, that I agreed to the allocation for Benjamin's new warship in the navy … "

"This isn't a war between the parties, I'm taking responsibility for the Empire!"

"Gentleman, you are a true gentleman. You have the best character as a knight of the Chinese era …" The officials around him started to flatter him.

"No need to flatter me. You must always remember, the interests of the British Empire are higher than the interests of the Party. Our competition below can't harm the interests of the Empire as a whole. This is the foundation for the existence of a party." Gladstone waved his hand, "Don't flatter me, you must always remember, the interests of the British Empire are higher than the interests of the Party.

"Back to the topic just now, my British Empire is already the number one in the world. If you want to maintain your position of number one forever, you should focus on cultivating your inner force … "Oh right, this is also a saying from the east!"

"Education, this must be the first place! If Britain wants to stand at the top of the world forever, it must ensure that there will be a steady stream of future generations, and the education system today is completely wrong! "

"We, the British, have the ability and should take the lead in promoting compulsory education in all its aspects. We should give every young person a chance to be educated. Only by doing so can we maintain the motivation to advance the Empire …"

"Not only the advancement of technology, education can also improve the quality of the entire nation. I can responsibly tell you that for every 1% increase in the investment made in education, the government can save 3% in the security funds …"

"Take a look at the London Police Department's current state of anxiety. The chaos in management and organization is due to the low level of education …"

"If the quality of our police officers can be improved by another level, and if the education level of these 400,000 citizens can be improved by another level, do you think the chaos today will continue?"

"No, definitely not anymore … We all understand what you mean, and it really is like that. If we can popularize British Empire's compulsory education and persevere for ten to twenty years, we will definitely reap rewards when the time comes … "

"Perhaps one day, there will be no need to mobilize 50,000 or 60,000 military police officers when there are more than 400,000 people gathered in London! "Once the quality of the people and government workers have improved, perhaps the activities of over four hundred thousand people will go smoothly with over ten thousand people forming organizations …"

"Hahaha …" That's right, my friends, now do you know the core of my governance? To raise the soft power of the British Empire, that is the foundation of our long-term peace and quiet … "

Gladstone and the rest of the Internal Affairs Sect would naturally not escape the ears of the colonialist, but no one dared to argue with this cannon. Even Benjamin was scared, let alone them.

Sir Gordon rolled his eyes at the group of Liberal Party, gritted his teeth and cursed softly, "Idiot, the glory of British Empire is created from the cannons of warships, the interests of the empire is also protected by war, if we don't go out and expand, would we still have such achievements?"

"Hiding in the British Isles and being a cowardly turtle is enough to make you a powerful country? "Idiot …"

Everyone said that the walls had ears, these words were too reasonable, in the end when Sir Gordon scolded them behind their backs, they were heard by the people of Liberal Party, that Wind Catching Ear quickly passed these small talk to other people, causing the people of Liberal Party to be enraged.

However, this was a public place after all, so they could not afford to fall out. A few muttering Liberal Party politicians came close to Gladstone and whispered, "Leader, those bastards just cursed at you, it was Gordon …"

Several of them added on, "We can't let them off lightly. Please give the order for our basic members to move out. We have to make them angry no matter what …"

"He, Benjamin, wants to organise this gathering peacefully, so we'll sprinkle some salt on him. We can't let him be complacent …" I will make him lose face in front of the queen! "

Gladstone suddenly scolded in a low voice, "Shut up! He couldn't stand being scolded by others? I've scolded many people, could it be that everyone can scold back? "

"Remember our identities, we are politicians and not the thugs of the West Side. We have to have... Do you want to leave a stain on the reputation of this historical event? Stupid! "

Hearing the leader of the Party berating them, a few of his subordinates spoke with a reddened face, "You have a general idea of the situation, but others do not!" Our people are helping the police coordinate the order, but in the end they gave the credit to Benjamin and the others, who can accept that? "

"We didn't say anything. Since they've already scolded us, we will not cause any trouble. Why not just take down the thousands of people who helped maintain order?" Why should we give Benjamin face? "

"Do you really want to help him pass?" You must know that if we did not take action, the diplomatic convention that Benjamin was in charge of would definitely have a lot of mistakes. Isn't this our chance? "

Gladstone shook his head and suddenly laughed. He said in a low voice: "Let's continue watching, we have already attacked. There are still people behind us preparing to attack, Benjamin will not recover." "Hahahaha!"
