Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Shh … There was a hiss at the scene, even the Europeans started blushing. The reason they were looking for was too far-fetched.

Since when did Mauritius become the core interest of the British Empire? It's not near the Golden Channel at all, okay? Located in the deepest part of the Indian Ocean, the closest continent was the savage Madagascar.

When the Dutch first found the Mauritius, there weren't even natives here, so it was basically a deserted island. If it wasn't for the storm, there wouldn't have been a merchant ship that would have explored this region of sea that was far away from the shipping lanes.

After that, the French came and drove away the Dutch, and then the British came and chased away the French. Finally, over ten years, they started to transport immigrants from India to the Mauritius on a small scale.

Criminals in Europe, the lowest rank in India, and refugees from war all over the world were mentioned. It was worth mentioning that at the end of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a small number of Chinese had also fled to this place.

With a bit more than 20,000 people scattered all over the county, everyone could imagine how poor this place was. Let alone developing industry, there wasn't even a large scale population base for agricultural development.

Every year, they would export some wood, sea products and sugar, which were the backbone of the economy of the Mauritius. Their total trade volume for a year was not even comparable to a small sized Steel plant in the suburbs of London.

For Benjamin to actually say that such a lousy island was the core interest of the British Empire, this was a lie that was unjustifiable. Even he himself felt embarrassed.

Xiao Letian laughed helplessly, and picked up the glass of champagne on the ice sculpture. He took a sip, "It's more than a thousand miles away from the Prowling Chinese Shang, with a population of more than twenty thousand, and an area of 1800 kilometers. There are no industries here, and even within a radius of a thousand kilometers, there aren't any industrial zones …"

"A place like this... Is it really a core area of interest for the UK? "Dear Prime Minister, it seems that you have a great prejudice against us Chinese. We have come to Europe with the desire for peace. Do you really think that we are the aggressors?"

The queen's face did not look good. She looked at her son, her meaning was clear, this was to let her son end this dispute as soon as possible. At this moment, Xiao Letian had the upper hand, if they were to continue discussing this matter, Britain would only end up suffering.

Edward understood his mother's meaning, and immediately coughed lightly and said, "Respected leader, your business is too big, this is not a decision that one or two people can make …"

"In terms of jurisprudence, the Mauritius belongs to the Indian colonial system, and Her Majesty the Queen of India also holds the title of Queen of India, so this island belongs to the royal family!"

"If you want to buy it, the Royal Family has to sign a trade contract with you … This is a matter concerning the royal family, and it has always been done in a prudent manner, and is not something that can be easily decided! "

"Let's wait for the resolution of the council. The royal family can start negotiations with you only if the council agrees to accept this deal!" Before the negotiations have been completed, we should just put these dodo in the Botanical Garden! "

This was already the best that Xiao Letian could hope to achieve. Forcing the council to vote was much better than letting the queen block the door with a single word.

"As you wish, I know that the British Constitution is stronger than the royal laws, and I respect the system of the British Empire!"

Xiao Letian knew that he had to advance or retreat, so he decided that it would be easier for Prince Edward to act like a normal person. He looked at the cold dodo on the table and sighed, "After hearing your reasoning, looking at this dodo now, I feel guilty. I won't take another bite …"

"But that can't be wasted, right?"

The Queen suddenly stood up and said, "Isn't there a lot of Chinese soldiers outside? And the warriors of the Janissaries that we are so dedicated to! Push out the other dishes on the dodo and let them have a taste too! "

"Haha, today is truly a fruitful day. Mr. Xiao, your eloquence is truly amazing!"

The last sentence of the Queen brought an end to this small conflict. One day, the dark clouds completely dispersed, the dodo was pushed out, and there were even more cold dining carriages pushing out from the kitchen. At this moment, under the scorching sun, the eight hundred East Tigers were occupying the entire street like statues.

Today, Xiao Letian wanted to let these soldiers establish their might on purpose. He wanted to let all the citizens in London know what the Iron Army looked like and what the Eastern Army looked like.

In the sweltering heat of late July, these soldiers who had gone through harsh training under the Ryukyu's blazing sun didn't even budge an inch. Sweat dripped onto the ground and quickly turned into steam.

Saline appeared on the back and neck of the uniform. Countless mosquitoes flew in the air, but even if they landed on their eyelids, these soldiers wouldn't blink.

The image of the Iron Army was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the British citizens. Countless reporters had recorded this scene, and the imperial guards wearing bearskin hats had also suppressed their anger and tried their best to compete with the Chinese.

Unfortunately, their military uniforms weren't specially designed by the Chinese as it had a poor thermal properties. Most importantly, the Chinese Army were trained and trained in the Bulbus Glazed Island, the cruel heat experienced by the New barracks was simply beyond the imagination of these British soldiers.

One was already used to it, while the other was just barely able to.

When the Attendant got out of the food cart and walked onto the street, there was a loud thud as another guard fainted from the heat and fell onto the street.

medical soldier, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed up and used a stretcher to carry the unconscious soldiers.

"Fainted, why didn't you Chinese faint? Dammit, our Royal Guard has already knocked out 18 people this morning, why haven't any of you fainted yet? "

"Order to the Queen... We've specially bestowed upon everyone here a lunch, and we ask you gentlemen to come and fetch it yourselves! " The Attendant pushed one after another white dining carriages out from the south lawn. On top of the carriages were all sorts of delicious food.

Although it was noon, there were still many Londoner on the street who were watching the show. Some restaurants even brought mobile dining carriages over, and the citizens on the street all bought a glass of beer and a few sandwiches, enjoying their lunch in the shade.

When they saw Buckingham Palace push out dozens of dining carts piled high with food, they all applauded and cheered, "It's the Queen's Feast!" This is too rare, the royal family has given these Chinese people unparalleled glory! "

"That's what they deserve, this is the iron army that defeated Sha Russia, they deserve this kind of treatment. Just based on this kind of discipline, they deserve our respect!"

The officer of the imperial guard let out a long sigh. He had no choice but to give in. "Fortunately, the banquet from the queen has arrived. If not, I really don't know how many of you would have fainted …"

"All of them! All the soldiers were resting on the third shift and having their meals in the shade of the trees! Thank you for your grace, Queen! "Dismissed..."

"Long live!" All the soldiers of the imperial guards started to cheer, the basic officer began to order them by name, and those who could not hold on any longer, all retreated to rest.

But right at this moment, an accident occurred.
