Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Bismark was silent for a long time before suddenly opening his mouth, "The technology is not a problem, but the key is, can you guys clear the railway from China to the Middle East?"

"You know, the technical difficulties you faced in building this railway were only one of them. What's more, Xinjiang and Afghanistan …"

"Your Xinjiang is currently fighting a war, it is still unclear who will win. Even if you win in the future, it will still be the victory of the Great Qing. Are you sure you can build that railway?"

"There's also Afghanistan. This has always been a sensitive area for British and Russian forces to clash with each other. If you want to build a railway here, you can't avoid these two countries!"

"Pa!" Xiao Letian slapped his thigh: That's right, you saw it right in front of you, this is indeed a big problem, but you have to consider it from a different angle, is it really that difficult, or is it even harder to face Royal Navy directly?

"Forgive me for being blunt, but the Royal Navy is unbeatable within a hundred years. It's already a miracle that they could tie the partial battles, do you really want to move the new channel of Eurasia under the Royal Navy's blockade?"

"Governing a country is already difficult. If reversing the country's destiny is such a simple matter, then why would we spend so much time and effort?"

"At the end of the day, there are so many countries in the world, and only a few will be able to enter the club. Even most of the other countries, including Europe, end up just like the powerful countries in the end!"

"It's hard to build railways, of course I know, but the benefits from the difficulties of customer service are also obvious... "If it is not appropriate to say that Prussia would use the resources available to prepare for a war with Britain, then the difficulty would not matter at all!"

Xiao Letian thought about the battle in his previous life. If Germany could use a quarter of the resources in this battle to build this railway, then the strategy and structure of the world would have been completely changed.

"Prime Minister! Money is not a problem, nor is technology... "The most important thing right now is our determination. Do we realize how important this railway is? Only when we realize the importance of it will we be able to achieve the latter part!"

"Well, even if our Chinese railway is not completed on time, as the Prime Minister feared, even if there is only one Berlin railway to Baghdad, it would still be of great benefit to the German Empire!"

"To be honest, such a railway would take half a century to prepare. At that time, the Chinese would not dare to say that the navy is very strong, but at least it would be on par with the British in Asia!"

"At that time, my merchant ship will not have to go around the Cape of Good Hope or rely on the Suez Canal. All kinds of strategic goods will be transported to the Persian Gulf and then to Berlin by train!"

"How much safer is the material transfer?"

"Not only that! "Once this railway is successfully built, the entire structure of Eurasia will change. Now look at the coastline of the German Empire, it is completely sealed by Britain in Europe. Without British permission, Prussia's merchant ships cannot enter the Atlantic Ocean!"

"This kind of strategic suppression is too unbearable, until this metal lid is broken, Germany's national destiny will not be able to advance another step! But fighting the British Navy directly? Our strength is far from enough! "

"We must admit this reality. Even if the Germany and the entire Chinese navy were to be together in fifty years, it would be very difficult for them to engage in a decisive battle on the high seas with all the warships of the Royal Navy! The chances of winning are too slim! "

"If I want to defeat Britain, I can only divide them up and cut off their naval strength. I have to make them wary of the North Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific Ocean …"

"Think about it, once the railways are built in the Ottoman Empire, once the Sea of Arabian has our permanent naval base and also a railway supply, the British Navy will have to split up and fight them!"

"At that time, my navy in the Western Pacific will also attract a portion of Britain's main maritime force. This way, Britain will not be able to concentrate its naval forces to form a huge advantage!"

"As long as their power is dispersed, we will have the opportunity to make a breakthrough. We will make small victories and wear down Britain's maritime power bit by bit. We will be victorious as long as we don't fight to the end!"

"When the time comes, the key is still to look at the army. How can those scum from the British Army be a match for the German Empire's army? "As long as the army overcomes the United Kingdom, the navy will fight until a stalemate, then protect the land's railway arteries, and destroy the resource curse …"

"As time passes, Britain will naturally not be able to handle it. The scales of victory will naturally tilt towards us!"

"Of course, this is all based on the most serious situation. Most likely, the British would not dare to hit us!"

"They will protest, they will secretly do something bad, but you let them go to war in public to destroy our railway line? I think it might be very small! "

"As long as we can endure it, as long as we pass through this railway line bit by bit and mobilize all of the resources in the hinterland of Asia, the world in the future will definitely be ours!"

Bismark was completely convinced. "Dear Xiao, your vision is even deeper than mine, before we even started a war, you had already started to think about your future strategy for Britain …"

"I didn't expect you to have a war plan against England."

"No, no, no …" "This is not a plan, this is just a speculation!" Xiao Letian said humbly.

"That's enough! All the people in the world live a mediocre life. How many people can truly raise their heads and look at the road, let alone the future of a nation's people? "

"Alright! "After this Franco-Prussian War is over, I will devote all my resources to advancing the Baghdad Railway Plan. I hope that everything will go as you wish!"

Xiao Letian and Bismark's conversation this time basically established the general direction for the cooperation between the Chinese and German Empire s for the next fifty years. Although the relationship between the two countries had repeated this process, the overall direction for cooperation never changed.

He had to be extremely careful in fighting against a strategic expert like Bismark. If he did not have the history of foresight in the future to support him, he really did not know how he could have ended today's negotiation.

When he entered the carriage, Pierre, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up and said respectfully, "The Head of the Guards … "Thank you for trusting me …"

As he spoke, Pierre's voice was choked with sobs!
