Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

If the Crown Prince had any good intentions, then what would he do next?

Xiao Letian fell into a deep silence. Everyone was looking at him, but after ten minutes, he only gave a light smile and said, "Let them bring the dishes over first. It's almost two o'clock, if you don't eat this little bit of food it will really be a waste …"

"Aiya! "Sir, you want me to die from anxiety …" Luo Huo stood up and paced back and forth in the narrow hall.

The map on the stone table was finally rolled up. The cold dishes and wine were first served, while the hot dishes could only be carried back to the guards to be shared.

As Xiao Letian cooked for the big guys, he said, "Some people say that treating a big country is like cooking a small meal! "I truly believe that in a country as big as China, it is impossible to carry out a change from top to bottom without encountering resistance …"

"There was a strong pen to say that even if you wanted to move a table in China, you would have to bleed to death... Do you think it's serious? actually it was really not a joke. Just by looking at the problems Tanggu is facing right now, all of you will understand now … "

"Come, come, drink this cup …" Xiao Letian took a sip of the warm yellow wine.

"Actually, there aren't any top secret secrets. You will understand once I finish telling you all about the plan. Actually, I have already told you about this plan a long time ago …" It's just that you didn't put on any sort of special halo, you just thought that it was an illusion and didn't think much of it! "

"If the upper class has a good point, then what's the lower class? This is how things are in China. I can't be the leader and show too much of my preferences... For example, my favorite crab is a deep sea emperor crab from northern Japan. Furthermore, I especially like to eat the crab's legs.

"As long as this rumor spreads, I think that in the entire Ryukyu and even within my sphere of influence, people will eat this kind of Emperor Crab. People will treat my preferences as a new fashion, as if what I like is the best in the world!"

"But that's too extravagant. Emperor crabs are a specialty of the cold waters, and fishing them is extremely difficult. In addition to that, the distance between us is also very long. When these precious treasures are delivered to us, it can be said to be worth thousands of gold!" Would I set off such extravagant customs? "Of course not, so don't tell anyone about my preferences today …"

"I'm using this as an example to tell you all that I don't want to keep secrets from you. It's to prevent my own preferences from being leaked, which will eventually lead to many irrational conformities …"

Xiao Letian made a big ball of prawns for each of them and said with a smile, "It's not a good time to be their leader! "You absolutely cannot let any of your preferences leak out. If the flattering and lucky ones catch a whiff of this, they will flirt with you with all their might …"

"At that time, many Leader would lose their heads and lose their minds. Amidst the praises, he would think that he had made the right judgement, and it wouldn't be long before he lost …"

Speaking of which, Xiao Letian suddenly thought of the story of when Yuan Shikai was the emperor. Back then, Yuan Shikai was also hesitant before becoming the emperor, although he had thoughts of becoming the emperor, but he knew that a large number of people would oppose him.

His son, Yuan Kexin, was well aware of his father's thoughts. In addition, he also wanted to have a taste of being Crown Prince or even Emperor.

The most exaggerated thing was that in order to not let his father see the opposition in the newspapers, he actually spent a lot of money to compile a few popular newspapers of his day and used fake ones to really show them to his father.

Yuan Shikai read the newspapers everyday and noticed that there were still a lot of people supporting him? How many voices of opposition in the media? Could it be that his destiny really was to return to him?

It was only until after he proclaimed Emperor that Cai Cai Cai from the south declared war on the Empire and expressed his stance towards it through military action. At that time, the whole of Southern China was full of support for him.

The important thing was that at that time, there was indeed a large group of people who were desperately trying to get closer to Yuan Shikai to spread the rumours about him. This was because they had discovered the preference in Yuan Shikai's heart, and the preference of a person in a position of power was naturally a shortcut to becoming an official and making a fortune.

Xiao Letian shook his head and laughed bitterly: "If I brought up my idea early and let you or more people know of my preferences, would the information you gave me back be true? "No, you won't give me the real information. I believe that 80% of the information will be given priority …"

"I don't want that wrong information because this is the national policy and it concerns the national destiny and the fate of millions of people. Therefore, I must keep it a secret from all of you. I think you should be able to figure this out …"

Those who sat down again finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the hot dishes were finally served. They all took the opportunity to take a few bites while the dishes were served.

Outside the window, the sky was still filled with wind and rain, and outside the window, there were fully armed soldiers. Their backs were facing the parlour, and they wanted to form a human wall with their bodies to protect this meeting.

Xiao Letian nodded his head, and the Frenchman, Molière, said, "I have received the Prime Minister's order to begin the complete calculation and deduction of a top secret plan. The core of the plan is to calculate how much land we can control according to the range of the Zhiyuan Warship's firepower.

Crash!! With a crash, the excited Luo Huo suddenly stood up, bringing his own red wooden chair. His eyes shone with excitement, "Is it going to war? Prime Minister finally made up his mind? "I knew that Lord wouldn't let us down …"

"Sit down!" "You better sit down …" Xiao Letian angrily slammed his chopsticks on the table, "Can you not say anything else? No one thinks you're a mute! "Now, I order you, finish this plate of crabs in front of you. You must not waste any meat, and you are not allowed to say a single word before you finish eating it!"

Luo Huo bitterly placed the four Shuttle Crab on the plate in front of him. He hated eating this kind of thing the most, not because it was not tasty, but because the people in the northern lands were used to eating big fish and big meat.

Molière smiled at Luo Huo. "Whether or not Prime Minister wants to start a war, this is not a matter of plan, but regardless of whether or not we start a war, we need to prepare for it, isn't that right?"

"Alright, let me make this short... The battle between the Dakar and the Marine Corps have proven the feasibility of a three-dimensional coordination strategy between the warships and the marines. The maximum range of a 210 caliber naval gun is around 20 kilometers, but due to the technology, the range to accurately attack is only 8 kilometers … "
