Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

In his career as a politician, he had met countless of enemies. Some people's words were even more intense than Xiao Letian's, but that was after all a battle between gentlemen in England, and he had never met with the provocation of a backward nation.

This was like a group of high-ranking officials in the imperial court. If you were a general, then I am also a prince. Although everyone's status was high and low, they were all dancing on the same stage.

In this kind of quarrel, the Minister had ridiculed the Prince, and the General had refuted the Minister. In this kind of quarrel, the Minister had ridiculed the Prince, and the General had refuted the Minister. Besides, their statuses were more or less the same, so it wouldn't be a disgrace for them to lose.

This was the rule of the game, allowing those in the inner circle to play together but definitely not allowing those in the outer circle to interfere. If a group of officials or generals were to quarrel, then the old army that was sweeping the street would suddenly come out and scold, and all the other important figures would be rendered speechless.

Not every old man sweeping the floor was Shaolin Nameless Monk, and not every big shot had the qualities of a smiling face when faced with a question from the bottom level, a majority of them would still choose anger, anger beyond compare.

"What are you? An old soldier sweeping the ground... Oh no no no, you are a barbarian and the Prime Minister of a small Pacific island nation, you actually dare to laugh at the Prime Minister of the British Empire? Are you tired of living? "

Of course the Count de Beer did not say these words, it was as if the English Gentlemen did not have as many words as the Chinese.

"Arrogant, arrogant barbarian, do you know who you're talking to? I am the Prime Minister of the British Empire, and I am a high level noble. How dare you order me to leave? "Are you crazy …"

Count de Beer wanted to flip the table, but he forgot about his gout and underestimated the weight of the long oak table. He did not flip once, twice, thrice.

In the end, the furious Prime Minister grabbed the white tablecloth and pulled it back. He wanted to flip all the seafood onto the ground.

Something strange happened. He seemed to have underestimated the smoothness of the silk and forgotten the principle of inertia in physics. Everyone only saw the Count de Beer suddenly use his strength and pulled out the white silk tablecloth.

Well, yes. It was pulled out from the space between the silver tableware and the table. It was pulled out from the space between the table and the silver tableware.

This scene was too joyous, even the Count de Beer himself was stunned, his heart was filled with grief, why was it that today's mess was so bad, he couldn't even flip the table?

Xiao Letian was so stifled that his stomach was hurting, he suddenly remembered the scene of the previous world's high school physics teacher doing the experiment. The old teacher with the eyes of a glass bottle had smoked on the desk three times, and as a result, she smashed two teacups and a fat girl's pencil case, but the experiment did not succeed.

If only he had known that the Count de Beer had such an ingenious method, he would have become a physics teacher.

Xiao Letian saw that the dazed Count de Beer was about to have a stroke and he quickly walked forward and whispered, "Prime Minister, let's call it a day. Maybe you think it's fun to enrage me, but after the game is over, can we talk about the proper matters?"

The corner of Count de Beer's eyes twitched as he stared at Xiao Letian. Do you think insulting the British Empire's Prime Minister is a game? I can tell you clearly that it is not only the French Navy that is besieging you now, even the Royal Navy of Great Britain is going to join in as well.

Xiao Letian was no longer angry, he only raised his hand to let the people around him scatter, and the two of them were the only ones left within the rose bush.

"Prime Minister, this farce can stop here. If you have already made up your mind to trap me in Europe, why did you specially cross the North Sea to see a small fry like me? Am I not, in your words, a little chieftain of the Pacific islands? A barbarian is worth your presence? And it's a secret meeting? "

"Alright, I can only assume that my earlier displeasure was a test of your personal interests and interests …" Now listen to my analysis of the current situation! "

"The world today is the British world, there's no doubt about it. Britain has the most powerful navy and industrial force in the world, you have the most extensive colonies in the world, your cheap industrial goods can be dumped all over the world, and the resources of the entire planet can be repaid by sea to the British Isles …"

"Your navy is even larger than the rest of Europe combined, and in your eyes the ocean is your English inland lake... "Everything looks good and powerful, but to put it in Chinese terms, there is a crisis under Golden Age!"

Count de Beer said with a smirk, "Crisis? With the strength of our British Empire, why would there be a crisis? It has been a long time since anyone has dared to speak to me about such frightening arguments.

Xiao Letian shook his head: "You can look down on the Qing Dynasty, and ignore the current China, but don't forget, the culture that has accumulated for thousands of years is where it is written in the history books. The circumstances may be different, but the logic goes through …"

British Empire has come to this day in history, it can be described as a rare and flourishing country, but the national destiny is always swaying with the wind. When you guys are at your peak, there are many countries that are thinking of you from behind, such as the Tsar Russia!

"Don't think that you can stop this polar bear just because you won a battle with the Crimean War. You have really underestimated their appetite. If my information is correct, Moscow is probably already beginning to evaluate the construction plan of the Trans-Siberian Railway. I think you, Britain, will know about it …"

When the words the Siberian Railway reached Count de Beer's ears, his expression suddenly became extremely rich. The old man stared at Xiao Letian in disbelief, and his heart was in turmoil.

The Siberian Railway was the vital link between the Russia and the rest of the world. It was established in the middle of the 19th world, but it did not start until 1891. It took a full 13 years to complete the construction.

This railway had a great impetus to the geopolitical structure of modern Asia. It could be said that the transports of goods and materials from Europe and Asia ran through the world at that time. One was by sea, and the other was by the railway lifeline.

It was because of this railway that the Russian was able to extend his hand all the way to East Asia, and even managed to get a Warm Water Port at the Liaodong Peninsula. To the Russia, this desire to reach the Warm Water Port was almost fated.

The relationship between Britain and the Russian had always been tense. They had always attached great importance to the intelligence network of Moscow. How could the British not pay attention to the Trans-Siberian Railway?

If the Russian had this railway, they could easily break free from the shackles of the sea and freely move troops and supplies between Europe and Asia.

This was not the end the British wanted to see, but Derby was very surprised. How could a Asian like you know about the information that was just proven? Do you have an intelligence system in Europe that we don't know about?

Xiao Letian saw through the doubt in his heart, "Of course I have my own information network, but you better not waste time investigating, you won't be able to find it!"

"Back to the main topic, it was you who defeated the Russia in Crimea, which caused their intention to seek an exit from Turkey to be completely destroyed. You should be well aware that back then, the Russian's Nicolay I wanted Istanbul, and that what he wanted was the Black Sea Strait that leads to the Mediterranean Sea …"

"Don't think that just because you guys defeated Russia, you can make them give up on the desire to find the sea entrance. Now that Russian is supporting Yaqub to invade Xinjiang, he wants to help a military warrior under his control. Do you really think that his goal is Xinjiang? "You are wrong, his goal is Afghanistan!"

"As long as the Russian controls the Pamir plateau, they can easily obtain a port in the Sea of Arabian, and they can also threaten your colony, India!"

"How laughable, you can't even tell what kind of disaster this is. Do you think that after the Russian occupied Xinjiang, the one who would suffer in the end would be the Chinese people? Are you all really enjoying the show …"

Xiao Letian's mouth was extremely rude, because he knew that the British were already so arrogant on the surface. On the surface, it seemed that the Count de Beer was just a person with a rather low quality and a very aggressive personality.

Britain is too strong now, and these senior politicians are too proud to be arrogant. Taking Xiao Letian for example, the Russian supported Yaqub's invasion of Xinjiang, in the eyes of many British officials, this was the conflict between the Russia and the Qing Empire, it was a typical fight to the death, and no matter who won, it did not affect the interests of the British Empire.

It was true that the people of the Russia had an abnormal greed for land, just like the British greed for the nature of the sea. The Russia really wanted Xinjiang to expand their territory. Any country would not reject it, but was the Russia's actions in Xinjiang just to occupy more territories? Are you really just trying to rob China of its land?

On the surface, it seemed like the Russian's Sword Dance was trying to dig out a piece of flesh from Qing Guo's body, but the main character they wanted to assassinate was still Afghanistan, the Pamir plateau.

"En!" When the phrase "Pamir plateau" entered the ears of the Prime Minister, his eyes immediately became panicked.
