Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C381 Xiao Letian's new proposal

In the end, Bismark was the same type of person as Xiao Letian, and the so called understanding and understanding of each other was only mediocre. When Xiao Letian said these heroic words, Bismark's expression became more and more solemn.

If it was an ordinary European or a citizen of Qing, after hearing Xiao Letian's slogan that did not have much nutrition, many of them would feel the cold sweat from head to toe, and even feel that he was fake and sour.

A loss is a loss, a loss is a failure. Now that the French Fleet is going to bombard the Ryukyu, you, Xiao Letian, are powerless and helpless. This is the reality of Tie Zheng's life.

Those who hold this view will always be the majority, and it is the common ailment of mankind to call a hero a failure or a success or a failure. If it was before this Sada Battle, before the miracle happened on the stone bridge, if Bismark had heard Xiao Letian's bold words, even he wouldn't believe him.

However, it was different now. Xiao Letian and his subordinates had used their blood and lives to shock everyone else.

Because he had won the other party's respect, not only did Xiao Letian's bold words sound fake, they actually made Bismark feel admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"Shaw!" I find that every time I see you, I have a different experience. You are a man with miracles, you are the beloved of God, China is really lucky to have you … Well, what do you need me to do? As long as it's within my capabilities, I will do my best to satisfy your requirements! "

When Xiao Letian heard this, his heart was already blooming with happiness. He looked left and right, realizing that there was no one around, and then brought Bismark deeper into the trench, before starting to speak.

"China has fallen behind in its rise to prominence. I can't become fat with a single bite. I need more than just the discussions, I have a few other suggestions …"

Xiao Letian and Bismark had already reached an agreement on a preliminary cooperation. Prussia opened all schools to provide education to Chinese students. Right now, Wang Huaiyuan had more than two thousand subordinates, and even if half of them were capable of being created, they would still be more than 1000 people in the future who would receive higher education.

And there was also the battleship that moved Xiao Letian's heart. He, who came from the later generation, knew very clearly that although the German navy was currently weak, they could not withstand the enemy's industrial strength.

Education, technology, and military equipment were all part of Xiao Letian's plan, but today, Xiao Letian wanted to take another step forward, allowing both sides to cooperate more closely.

"Dear Prime Minister, what do you think of the relationship between Prussia and Britain? "Hehe, of course I know that you are following the policy of the mainland. You have always been careful not to touch the interests of the British Ocean. It was your caution that allowed you to be neutral in the UK …"

"First of all, I would like to admit that your strategy is very correct. Prussia is still very weak at the moment, and it would be unwise for her to contradict Britain. However, I would like you to consider carefully how you can guarantee that after Prussia obtains a series of victories and you leave the post of Prime Minister, your successor will continue your national policy."

Bismark's eyes grew bigger and bigger, he looked like he was looking at a devil. He never thought that Xiao Letian's understanding of Prussia would be so deep.

"Shaw!" Tell me, are you really a devil? "

Xiao Letian rolled his eyes and continued, "In this world now, you should see things more clearly than me. Whoever controls the most colonies, and who is the strongest. "The older countries like the English and French have more or less divided up the world, so there isn't much left for Prussia …"

"In the future, after you guys teach France a lesson on land, it will be very difficult for continental Europe to find opponents for you. And then Prussia would have to look out to sea if she wanted to be rich, but then you'd have to fight the British... "

"Oh, oh, oh …" Don't try to contradict me. I know that war with England is not allowed in your strategy, but you will grow old one day, won't you? What kind of character does Prince Karl have? What about the prince's son? "Don't even think about it …"

With that sentence, the old prime minister subconsciously took half a step back, and crashed into the trench. His eyes were opened wide, looking at Xiao Letian as if he was looking at a devil.

What Xiao Letian had said was exactly what the old prime minister feared the most. Bismark knew very well about the power of Britain and knew that it was not something that a Prussian could contend with. Only by launching a world-class war would the old prime minister be able to pull Britain down from the throne.

Even if Prussia punished the French according to their plans, even if the Northern Germany succeeded in unifying their land, that bit of power would still not be enough to fight against Britain.

So Bismark kept explaining his strategy to the imperial family. He was afraid that one day the fanatical imperial family would abandon his strategy and fight against the British on the sea.

This is not a pessimistic speculation, and it is likely to be true, for one is easily overcome by victory, and the desire of a people to rise is difficult to control.

"No, no, that's impossible. You can look at the map. Britain is like a lid that blocks off Germany, Poland and Russia. The Atlantic route is under the control of the British artillery. The North Sea is the British 'inland lake." Bismark screamed in fear.

"If you don't have a 100% assurance, you will be courting death by fighting the British sea!"

It was the first time Xiao Letian had seen Bismark's panicked expression. This was something that was rarely seen in history, he knew that he had already hit the soft spot in the Prime Minister Iron-Blood's heart, and similarly, it was the Prussian Nation's weak spot.

"You know that, I know that, but did anyone else know? Or do they want to know the reason for the sadness? " Xiao Letian sighed and shook her head.

"It is foreseeable that the more successful Prussia is now, the greater the ambition of their descendants will be. Prussia needs the nourishment of the sea. It is necessary to fight for the colonies, and once on the road to hegemony, conflict with the British is inevitable. "

"You also mentioned about the map just now. Let me tell you about the map, the British Three are like a lid, tightly blocking the Germany's route to the Atlantic Ocean. Even if you have obtained a lot of overseas colonies, how can you transfer the resources over? "It will always be passed with great trepidation under the threat of the British cannon …"

"Prussian is proud, this kind of pride will support you all in your country fight, but this pride will also support you all in your illogical battles, when that time comes, it will be a national destiny gamble!"

At this time, Xiao Letian felt that he was possessed by Su Qin Zhang Yi, and this sharp mouth made even Bismark moved, he moved closer to the Prime Minister and used his finger to draw a simple map of the world on the soil.

"Once the war breaks out, the British Fleet will be sealed up here in the North Sea, and all reinforcements for Germany's overseas colonies will be gone. At that time, the British Pacific and Indian Ocean fleets will be able to slowly decapitate your colonies one by one …"

"At that time, even if you have powerful battleships, it would be useless if you can't get them out! That is why I have come to you today with 120 thousand points of sincerity to discuss a top secret plan, a plan that you cannot reject! "

"Come come come …" Look here, this is my base camp, Ryukyu. "If Prussia is willing to cooperate with me, of course it's a secret. To the outside world, they claim that it's still my, Xiao Letian's, but we can sign the secret documents inside …"

"How about we set up a large shipyard in the Ryukyu, with Prussian shipbuilding technology as the standard? You guys stop hiding things, send your best technology and the strongest engineers over, and let us work together to produce the best battleship in the world. Don't worry, I have a lot of mature Iron-armored battleship s in my mind, when that time comes, how about we share these design concepts? "

At this time, Xiao Letian even reached out his hands to hug Bismark's shoulders, looking intimate like a street hoodlum. "Don't worry, when the time comes, the battleship that enters the water will belong to me, Xiao Letian, but there will be half of the shares of you in Prussia …" Look at you, no one knows who you are, but you set up an ambush for a powerful fleet in the Pacific Ocean! "

"Suppose one day, a world war broke out, and the world's strongest warriors were divided into two distinct factions, and Prussia reached the point of not fighting. With this Elite Armament in hand, wouldn't you have an extra chance of winning?"

Xiao Letian's suggestion seemed a little unrealistic, but it was undeniable that this was the best plan to face off against the British Ocean Hegemony.

It wasn't that Xiao Letian wasn't worried before, if he were to customize a powerful battleship that surpassed this era at the Voltaire Shipyard, how to transport it back home would be a problem for him.

Did they really think of the English and French as a righteous man? Would they really watch China's emergence of a modern navy? The answer is no, as long as you threaten them, they will even take the ship by the wayside and sink it.

The only way out was to build their own large warships in East Asia, and that was the only way out. After all, the design in Xiao Letian's stomach far exceeded that of this era. Any one of them could shock the entire world.

Bismark was truly tempted, but he was still worried. As a politician, he suspected that everything was their natural instinct. Although Xiao Letian was right now, what if he changed his mind one day? But thinking about the blood they bled in Shiqiao uplands, Bismark's question was a little unable to come up.

"This is too big, this is not something that a prime minister like me can decide. I have to have a secret talk with the king, but I admit that your suggestion has tempted me … However, I want to remind you that even though I, Bismark, trust your credibility, it does not mean that the entire Prussian upper echelons will trust you.

Just as Xiao Letian was about to open his mouth and add fuel to the fire, from outside the trench came a burst of hurried footsteps and shouts. Prime Minister! Please hurry back to General Command, His Majesty the King... His Majesty and the Chief of Staff were quarrelling, and the arguments were extremely intense … "

"Huh?" When Bismark and Xiao Letian heard this news, they both shouted at the same time, "How did this happen? You won the battle, why are you still arguing? "
