Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C3164 Britain intervened

"Where did the Spanish garrison lose? Equipment is not good! What about the Mini Bullets? "I'm already so full of myself …"

"The battleship is also the oldest sail battleship, it can't even beat a few fish lightning boats …"

"If we want to maintain our rule now, we'll have to go through a complete change of clothes. Do you think that would take tens of millions of pounds? How much tax does the Philippines pay to Spain a year? Do you have two million pounds? "

"Haha, as I said yesterday, the Spanish council will definitely not agree to send the Expeditionary forces, because this is a money-losing deal!"

"If it costs so much just to change, how much will the expedition cost? How many years does it take to recoup the cost? It would take at least a hundred years to count on a little tax income from the Philippines. "

"War is also a business. Why do you want to fight a war that loses money? Why did the United States of America, independent Britain and the United States of America, accept it by pinching their noses? Isn't it because the war has reached the point where we are losing money? "

"People aren't idiots. How much money do we spend to get back more in the future? What's the use of fighting a war where we can't get back our money?"

"So the Philippines is a chicken's egg to Spain right now. It's a pity to forsake it! "Accept your fate. You should accept your fate …"

"Let's settle this issue peacefully at the negotiating table. Spain doesn't need to go to war. As the new King, you will also get the credit for resolving the conflict …"

"What benefits do you want? Do you mean to say that Spain does not have any direct forces? Come, come, come, let me lead the way. Do you want the old soldiers who retired from Prussia? How about my elite Marines hiring you? "

"Cheap, really cheap. You said that when you ascend the throne, you don't have any troops that would dare to kill. How could you control the scene?"

"Money?" Money wasn't a problem at all. As long as he could use money to solve it, it wouldn't be a big problem. Come, come … Let's discuss this properly. Don't run, what are you afraid of? "Relax, relax …"

Just like that, A Madiao boarded a bandit ship. The negotiations at the lakeside in Geneva had really screwed Spain over.

At the same time, under Xiao Letian's plans, the most influential newspaper in all of the major cities in Europe posted their headlines this morning.

"The war in Manila is over, the Chinese and the Chinese of the Luzon revolted together and captured Manila with lightning speed!"

"The Spanish governor has fled, the highest military commander of the Philippines has fled, and the entire garrison of 100,000 Spain has collapsed!"

'Manila has found more than a dozen large mass graves! The Spanish colonial government's brutal massacre of Chinese is ironclad proof! '

The big words of the pitch black ink revealed a bloody taste and the whole of Europe fell silent. The ignorant citizens who were scolding Xiao Letian earlier were all dumbfounded.

His first thought was the same as A Madiao's first life. They didn't believe it, but the Chinese counterattack had taken more than 10 days of preparation, and all sorts of evidence were piled up like a mountain.

American shipowner, British explorer, Belgium merchant... The various ship's diaries and memorandums were sent to Europe through the telegraph system.

The time was not too long and there was even a large group of photographic evidence that was riding on a scissor boat towards Europe. It was expected that more physical evidence would appear in the European media in three months' time.

Government of Spain was speechless now. Manila 3 has already been restored and I will assassinate your local general on the 15th? Have they gone crazy!?

After Bismark read through the thick stack of newspapers, he sighed: "This fellow, he stole quite a lot of our limelight. He originally reserved so many pages for us to celebrate the establishment of Germany, but in the end he split up a lot of our limelight …"

"This bite of Spain is really vicious, Xiao Letian has really gotten fat from this … My God, even I can't imagine how weak Spain has become? "

"What attitude would Britain have? Xiao Letian, you have won too brilliantly, I am afraid it will be counterproductive! "

Bismark's eyes were sharp as though a torch. When the news reached the ears of the Queen of Buckingham Palace, the Queen who had been maintaining her calm suddenly became anxious.

"Let the Prince and the Prime Minister come to me, and the Foreign Secretary come to me! I need an explanation for this! "

The queen was not angry, but her frosty attitude was even more frightening than her anger.

Gladstone, the Crown Prince, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the General Staff of the Navy and Army, including the Duke of Newcastle who had a lot of contact with Xiao Letian … Over a dozen imperial officials were standing in front of the queen like cats and mice.

Queen Victoria said with a gloomy face, "According to the rules, I should not interfere with your governance! All things in the Empire should be decided by the Cabinet, and the Prime Minister should lead... "

"But with the situation developing to this point, I have no choice but to speak! "Today, I am just expressing my opinion. I am not using my authority to suppress you, and the court documents will not record every single word that you said today!"

"I just want to ask, how do I face Xiao Letian? How do you all want to deal with this newly emerged Chinese! "

"Look into my eyes, please raise your head!"

The Queen's eyes swept across everyone's face, and everyone was so shocked that they did not dare to breathe!

"Don't you think that Xiao Letian's power expansion is a little too fast? The outcome of this war in France was totally out of our expectations. Weren't both sides injured by your earlier judgement? "

"How can Germany and the Chinese win so easily! "Now that Germany is united, all our strategies will have to be pushed to the next level!"

"Not only Germany, but the Chinese have also come out. They are rising so fast!"

"If France is defeated, then their power in Asia will definitely be divided. Will the Annan Congress not be taken away by the Chinese? The Kalimantan Island has already been lost, and now even the Spanish Philippines is finished! "

"The entire South China Sea is now under the control of the Chinese. The north half of Southeast Asia is now under his control! Haven't you predicted all of this? "

"Now, tell me, what is your attitude towards the Hua Clan? Do you have a long-term diplomatic strategy? "

"Do we fight or fight?" To restrain or appease? Do you have any attitude at all! "Answer me …"

The Queen's scolding came from Buckingham Palace, causing the faces of the court officials to turn ashen!

At two o'clock that afternoon, Gladstone issued an official statement expressing serious concern over the situation in France and Spain, and calling on all countries to gather in London to discuss the situation.

Gladstone's face was livid as he said ruthlessly, "British Empire will never allow the flames of war to spread. Maintaining peace in the world is our heavy responsibility. From now on, Royal Navy will enter the second level of defense.

"Peace is not easy to come by. I hope every country can remain calm and maintain their restraint!"

The threat was obvious. Britain had once again brought forth the navy, this unbeatable weapon, clearly stating that I would fight whoever dared to fight against her!

In truth, it was just threatening Xiao Letian. You brat, you expanded too fast.
