Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Gladstone had guessed correctly, at the top of the British pyramid, there was actually the thought of giving up on Benjamin. At this moment, these financial circles, business circles, Military, royal family, political elites, cultural scholars … Even many ordinary citizens were strongly dissatisfied.

Not because of failure, the British are not afraid of failure, now that the British have enough to fight the world, once or twice a small failure can stimulate the strategic potential of Britain and win the final victory.

And the proud people naturally had their own self-confidence. Victory could be tortuous, but the result must be bright.

Benjamin disappointed everyone with his stubbornness and foolishness. There was no need to talk about stupidity, just with the incident with the captivity, ordinary people would not be able to understand what was going on inside, but all the elites on top of the towers would understand.

The foolish Benjamin made the French and Russian thugs protest, and even set the East Palace on fire. Then, the Chinese people would take this opportunity to play the Tragic Sorrow card, and directly take advantage of this opportunity to trap him.

Nausea? But disgust is also something you brought on yourself. If you, Benjamin, treated Xiao Letian according to normal diplomatic etiquette, would you let others get hold of this weakness?

Now that everything has been set in stone, Britain will be in the dark. The majority of the people in Europe believe in the existence of imprisonment, what else can you do? Are you going to explain the billions of people one by one?

Stupid, this is what you call an extremely stupid action. You, Benjamin, were originally a veteran politician too, so you shouldn't have made such a lowly mistake!

However, there is a origin for stupidity, and it's because Benjamin was too stubborn, and refused to accept other people's opinions, that's why there was such a solution when one walked down the road of darkness.

Stubbornness is the root, stupidity is the form, failure and shame is the result!

No one would have thought that Benjamin would be so stubborn. Without Xiao Letian, who would be able to invite the Tongzhi Emperor to Europe? Since when did Britain have so much face? You have to accept such a small favor!

You don't acknowledge it? You just want to fight against him? Even the royal family gave in in in the end, and even the queen pulled down her face to try to persuade you.

You keep proclaiming that Xiao Letian is the life and death enemy of the British Empire, why didn't we see that? Are you the only smart one in England?

The royal family is a fool, but the rest of us are fools. Are the financial oligarchs of the entire British Empire, the tycoons of industry and commerce, all brainless? We don't even know how to walk. If we're all blind, you'll have to lead us?

Aren't you being too arrogant? We don't care if you look down on the Chinese, you can't look down on all of us!

Fine, even if your family has a daughter who's been abused by the Chinese, we don't care if you want to take revenge on your own behalf. We will definitely help the British, and even if you act so shamelessly, you will still be our Prime Minister.

But you f * cking let us help you, you actually won! Over and over again, you keep getting slaps from the Chinese. Don't you think it's embarrassing?

Disappointment, deep disappointment, all these elites at the top of the British pyramid had strong feelings of disappointment.

Britain was a country where merchants were the most respected, and merchants were people who pursued benefits rather than conflicts.

For example, the representatives of the City and the business world were very close to Liberal Party's Gladstone, and their perspectives on this conflict were very close.

What happened to the Chinese? What happened to the Chinese? What about Xiao Letian? [He didn't say he wants to fight with you in England. He hasn't closed his doors either?]

At the moment, British merchants were free to enter and leave Chinese ports. Officials under Xiao Letian's rule were not afraid of talking business with Europeans, although this group of Chinese were tough, and did not cooperate with them as easily as they would with Great Qing, to put it bluntly, it was not easy to take advantage of them.

But just because you can't take advantage of it doesn't mean you can't earn money. As long as you follow the laws of the world and make a normal profit, the British businessman can still earn money.

In regards to this, the British merchants were very grateful, they were actually most afraid of the Great Qing which sealed off their country, you and those bureaucrats could not get along, other than using force to coerce and bribe, you could not do the normal deal.

In a country where business was conducted on an equal footing, wasn't it normal for them to be a little threatened?

What country in the world is not a threat to England? Not in France? Didn't Russia? Didn't the America have it? Even Prussia, which was on good terms with the British, did not always have to be close.

Business was always full of competition and cooperation. Just because the Chinese had a little threat of competition, they would use war to destroy it?

This point was what the entire British elite could not understand. Why did Benjamin want to destroy the Chinese army, what exactly was the enmity between them?

War was the last means of competition between nations, and it was also the most brutal, most expensive, and most redeemable means with the least risk. Intelligent people would not use it unless they had no other choice.

How could it be like Benjamin, who did not even start a negotiation with the Chinese and already started shouting about fighting?

He could not understand, but he could not understand what Benjamin was trying to do. Is it really militaristic?

In the beginning, it did not matter because everyone had nothing to do with the Chinese, the Prime Minister could destroy whoever he wanted to. In any case, victory was the best thing that happened.

But after repeated face-smacking failures, these people could not take it anymore. They thought to themselves, this Britain is everyone's country, we can't do it, but you are such a waste?

Was it a disgrace? Aren't you ashamed? The whole of Europe is watching the jokes of England. Even the royals of the other countries couldn't stand to talk about it. Are you done yet?

Just when everyone was feeling extremely resentful, Gladstone made his move, going straight for Benjamin's grotto, and directly writing down the case of no trust.

One could only imagine how many complaints Benjamin had accumulated before. The timing that Gladstone had chosen was simply too perfect, he had obtained the oral support of the majority of the members of the Council the moment he had taken out the unbelieving proposal.

He secretly cooperated with Xiao Letian in the darkness, and then he carefully observed everyone's resentment towards Benjamin. Once he reached the critical point, he would tear apart all the fake Mask Stabbing Blades and fight Benjamin to the death.

With this, the elites at the top of the pyramid could no longer remain calm. Although they hated Benjamin, the next administration was only going to rely on the help of the Chinese.

It was one thing to hate Benjamin, it was fine to support Gladstone, but it was worrisome to let the Chinese get involved.

It was because of this worry that Crown Prince Edward had led the way in suppressing the differences between the different parties. He had found those influential senior figures and brought them together to pressure Gladstone.

"We must get Gladstone to give us a clear answer. If he can't dispel the doubt in our hearts, then even if Benjamin disappoints us, we must protect him!"

"If it's not of my race, then its heart must be different!" Chinese playthings, we have to figure them out! "
