Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

"Oh, my dear Minister of Finance, what you said is not right. A treaty between countries is essentially no different from a contract in commercial negotiations …"

"The payment must be mutual. If you let me give something, what can Britain give me? Is it just an exchange of letters? "If that's all there is, then wouldn't we suffer a huge loss …"

"Don't forget, if I did not assist you, you would have had to put in a lot of effort to trip Benjamin up, right?"

Britain was indeed a country's merchant, but the most important characteristic of merchants was that they liked to negotiate and bargain. They clearly knew that the one who picked on the fault was the real buyer.

"Yes, I admit that you have indeed helped me a lot, but don't forget, even without you, I would have replaced Benjamin sooner or later …"

"Never underestimate my love for the British Empire. I will never give you the benefits of Britain! Don't you dare think that you can harm my British Empire in the slightest! "

Such righteous words made Xiao Letian turn serious, "Why do you think of me like that? "I suppose with your wisdom you can see that everything I have done has a great deal to do with England?"

"Benjamin's existence is the greatest threat to the British Empire, and the warlike thinking of the Tory Party is the true disease of Britain! I'm removing the tumor for your country! "Can you really not tell …"

Gladstone's eyes shrunk and his heart tensed up. He had carefully lured Xiao Letian to this topic after all, and the big figures in the two rooms next door wanted to hear the answer to this question.

Of course, Xiao Letian and him had their own selfish thoughts when trying to overthrow Benjamin, but was this kind of overthrow harmful to Britain?

Was Benjamin removed for his personal gain or for personal consideration? This question troubled the Crown Prince Edward and all the other elites of the empire.

In a quiet and narrow room, two groups of people sat crowded together. In front of them was a huge brass horn, and although the sound was faint, it was very clear. When Gladstone successfully brought the topic to that sensitive point, everyone couldn't help but sit up straight and listen with rapt attention.

Edward subconsciously tightened his grip on the armrest of the sofa. He knew that every word that Xiao Letian said after this would determine his life and death.

"Xiao Letian, don't think that just because this is a secret chamber you can speak such nonsense! Be careful, you must be careful! " The crown prince was sweating profusely. To be honest, when Xiao Letian respected his own father and mother so much, the crown prince sincerely hoped that he could pass.

Xiao Letian, who was completely unaware of the monitoring system, looked at Gladstone in shock. "You really don't understand the situation you're in? You really can't understand it? "

"That shouldn't be the case. With your political skills and your grasp of the situation, are you really unable to figure out this window paper?"

Gladstone frowned and said, "Führer, please don't try to figure out what I am thinking. Now I want to know what you are thinking …" If you want to cooperate better with me in the future, then you should be more honest and let me see your sincerity.

"OK!" OK! "You're an elder, and you've been in politics longer than me. I can't beat you …" Raising his wine cup, Xiao Letian drained it in one gulp. Then, he let out a long breath.

"England! Including Europe! And the whole world! Actually, we are already at the threshold of a great change, could it be that you really don't understand? "

"Benjamin and her group of war maniacs have already diverted the destiny of England, and you are already off track. Don't you know this yet? How ridiculous! "

His words were so sharp that they struck Gladstone's spot of excitement. "Huh?" Haha … Funny, you think I did the wrong thing in England? Hahaha … Would my British Empire do the wrong thing? "Hahaha …"

Pa!! Xiao Letian actually slapped the table, interrupting Gladstone's wild laughter. Xiao Letian spoke with a solemn expression that he had never shown before.

"Don't test me, the future Prime Minister, don't you see the danger of Golden Age? If you were not well aware of the existence of this crisis, how could you have teamed up with a foreign head of state like me for the sake of a political struggle? "

"Let me ask you, how did Britain get to its glory? How did this small island nation become the British Empire that controls the world? "

"Of course … Of course it is because of our British Empire's invincible fleet and powerful nations … " Gladstone said subconsciously.

Hahaha … This time, it was Xiao Letian's turn to laugh. "Enough, everyone knows what's good for you, don't speak nonsense. In my eyes, there are only three points to British success!"

"First of all, Britain has the most stable political system in the world. The constitutional monarchy has already entered the hearts of the people, and this will ensure the stability of your country. This is very important. "How much damage did they do to their country's strength …"

"Second, Britain was the first to make a breakthrough in science and technology in the Industrial Revolution. You were able to increase your productivity explosively because your technology surpassed that of other countries …"

"Productivity!" Productivity... When Napoleon was the leader of the continental Europe, although he was an enemy of the United Kingdom, but his soldiers still had to wear the military uniforms made from British cloth.

"Productivity!" "Because at that time, Britain's productivity was the highest in the world, and only Britain was able to provide such quality and cheap goods. It was precisely because of these goods that you were able to make countless amounts of wealth around the world!"

"The third is a military force, the expansion of the colony, the true glory of British Empire!"

"But now that the crisis under Golden Age has appeared, you pretend not to know? Or are you afraid of the resistance at home? "

"Don't make me look down on you, respected... The future Prime Minister! "

"You …" "Alright, I admit that I am a little uneasy about Benjamin and the others' national policy, and have some complaints about it. However, it is definitely not to the extent of Golden Age's crisis, you better explain yourself!"

"OK!" If you want to hear it, then I have the time! Let's smooth it over for now and talk about how the British Empire got stronger! "

"As we all know, in the Middle Ages, Britain was not the main power in Europe. You are just a middle power that could protect yourselves by taking advantage of the sea..."

At that time, the rulers of Europe were the France s and the famous dynasties! And there is also the divine right! "

"Your wealth is not as great as his, your army is not as strong, your relationship with France is not that good, and war often broke out …" If not for the sea, who knows how many times your country would have been exterminated! "
