1055 Benjamin Fiasco

Benjamin was stunned. He knew that the little prince was very favored at Buckingham Palace, but he didn't expect that he would be so favored that he wanted to be appointed as the British Admiral?

This is really no joke. In history, William II really received the honorary title of British Rear Admiral. Of course, the Royal Navy could not allow him to command the fleet to fight. This is just an honor.

But this honor is also scary, which proves that William has an unparalleled status in his grandmother's heart. Benjamin's biggest mistake today is to completely treat Queen Victoria as a politician and forget that she is also a kind woman.

On the contrary, because the Count of Derby is similar to the Queen, he can understand the ideas of his peers. Derby will often analyze the Queen from the standpoint of a natural person.

He knew that the queen also had personal love, and she was not a saint who was not a human being. Without any great harm to the British national strategy, this grandmother was not stingy with her love for her grandson.

"Okay, Benjamin, I already know what you mean. I will pay attention to the actions of Xiao Lotte and Prussia. If they further threaten Britain, I will of course speak... But now, I think I'd better let my son-in-law prepare for the war with peace of mind, and don't change the previous plan!"

Benjamin wanted to say something, but Queen Victoria had already stood up, and the court servant next to her respectfully walked to the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and had issued an order to expel him.

Benjamin didn't know how he walked out of Buckingham Palace, but when he finally got on the carriage, the force of the Earl of Derby shook hands with him awakened him.

Derby sighed, "Benjamin, I admit that what you said makes sense... But? But isn't it good to attack Xiao Letian just attack him? Why do you attack His Highness the Queen's son-in-law? You..."

Derby left, Benjamin boarded the carriage like a ghost, and his regretful intestines were almost bleak. "Xiao Letian... Let you live one or two more years! After the competition between Prussia and France ended, you will become a useless hunting dog. I will start by myself at that time! You wait..."

Unfortunately, Benjamin's ideal will not be realized in the end. If he missed an opportunity, he would miss it. If Benjamin was an experienced politician, he should skip the Queen and the Prime Minister of Derby, and mobilize resources to kill Xiao Lotte himself.

He still has a chance to turn the tables, but unfortunately he is still not crazy enough in his bones. He still wants to solve the problem step by step, but will Xiao Letian give him more opportunities?

That night, the little prince told his mother what happened today. Although the eldest princess is a family-loving daughter, she and Carl have a good relationship. She was also angry when she heard that Benjamin was going to deal with her husband.

That night, the Prussian diplomats began to send reports to the country. Soon, Bersmey received British intelligence. He was surprised by the little prince's temporary actions and actually won some initiative for Prussia, but they also realized that once Benjamin as prime minister, he would definitely take action against Prussia.

The situation suddenly became tense. With the efforts of diplomatic personnel from both sides, the Earl of Derby met secretly in the Netherlands half a month later and reached an agreement on the future situation.

After sincere consultation, the UK promised that its support for Prussia remained unchanged, and even secretly provided a military fee to arm the Prussian army.

The Besmai also reciprocates and decides to suspend the heavy arms trade in Ryukyu, especially some large industrial facilities have also stopped trading.

Derby also made a request to buy the battleship drawings with a lot of money at the meeting, but he politely declined it by Pesme. This is a national-level secret. How can you tell you?

This is how diplomatic negotiations are, one by one, and there are many exchanges of interests, many deceptions and conflicts, but one thing is a good phenomenon. It is much better to be able to sit together and talk than to break a relationship.

Just as Prussia and Britain were in secret negotiations, the initiator Zhiyuan had already seen the Tahitian Islands, which was a brand new territory developed by Ryukyu and an enclave taken from the French.

This sea area has many islands, collectively known as the Polynesian Islands. Tahiti is the largest island here, which is where thousands of Chinese immigrants live. Now they only have one task, to build infrastructure in Tahiti.

When Zhiyuan saw the flag of the Xiaozi floating on the Pier of Tahiti, everyone was filled with joy. Although this was an enclave, it was also a land belonging to the Chinese. Seeing this flag was considered to be home.

The immigrants on the island also saw the fleet on the sea at this moment. For a moment, people rushed to the dock to kneel down and bow to the flag on the bow of the ship. Then the salute was set off by the Tahiti pier, and the white smoke scared the natives to flee one after another.

Although Xiang Ying did not see Xiao Letian's telegram, he would choose to stay for a short time when passing by. On the one hand, he would supplement some food and water, and on the other hand, he would also like to ask if these immigrants need any help.

Tahiti now implements the elder system, and there is no clear administrative agency here. It is just that everyone jointly elects five respected elders to jointly manage the archipelago. Therefore, the five old men wearing Ming Dynasty clothes were greeted by Xiang Ying.

"General has worked hard all the way, please accept my worship..." Xiang Ying did not dare to let the elder kneel down and rushed forward to support the old man.

"It's a scattered person, it's a scattered person. We are here to ask the villagers to help replenish food and water. We should be the first to give a tribute!"

After some greetings, everyone walked towards the conference hall not far away.

The so-called meeting hall is actually a wooden pavilion. There are no walls around it, but a series of logs supporting a roof, covered with coconut leaves. The warm tropical sea breeze can freely pass around the pavilion, and strings of bead curtains worn with shells are hung around it. After the breeze, it is as crisp as a wind chime.

The bonfire was lit in the fire pit, and the freshest seafood was brought up. Of course, precious wine was indispensable. With the help of the light of ocean trade, Tahiti can exchange clear water food and ocean merchant ships for various supplies, and life is quite abundant.

After three cups and two cups of light wine and a few polite words, Xiang Ying finally got a general understanding of everything here.
