1858 Prince Edward
The murderous words made the room chill. Sir Ai Liguo even shivered. The queen and his eldest son Edward looked at each other, and they were confused as to why Benjamin was so abnormal.
Benjamin is the successor of Prime Minister Derby. In the years before this, although Benjamin was a little stubborn, he was still a gentle gentleman in general. A gentleman should not be so unpretentious about his own language, and even if he thought so in his heart, he should not speak it out.
"Kill? Dear Prime Minister, is this a bit... a bit too extreme? Xiao Letian is not the local king of ordinary backward countries, nor is he the tribal chiefs of South America and Africa..."
Sir Ai Liguo shook his head and said, "He is a highly prestigious scholar, politician and military general with real power in Asia. He is a very popular person. If you kill him, do you know how big a blow to our reputation in Britain?"
Ai Liguo and Xiao Letian had a secret meeting on Chaolian Island. No matter what interests the two sides had in that meeting, at least Xiao Letian's demeanor made Ai Liguo admire him very much. He had to admit that Xiao Letian was a person with a very strong personality and his smile could cool down the enemy's anger.
Defeating or curbing the expansion of the Chinese nation is Ai Liguo's strategy of unification, but directly killing people? He is against this.
Benjamin also felt that what he said just now was a bit extreme. He took a sip of wine to relieve the atmosphere and then calmly spoke his theory.
"Dear Her Majesty, Dear Crown Prince... Maybe my words are a little savage, but please believe that I am based entirely on my loyalty to the British Empire!"
"At the beginning of this Eastern Prime Minister's rise, I didn't act like a threat, but as time goes by, I can more and more smell the danger on him!"
"This is really a typical conspirator who takes one step and sees ten steps. Look at the oriental Chinese reports he has conducted throughout Europe this time. From the very beginning, he has already put a trap on us!"
"The initial attack on Tsarist Russia was actually a preparation for the final stabbing at France. The series of oriental cultural propaganda in the middle was just a guess at our ban and prepared for the future..."
"It's too dangerous. He completely guessed everything we responded, and thus formulated such a huge plan... In other words, the last blow he could see must be after the victory of the Far East War!"
"I have a premonition that Tsarist Russia will lose a miserable loss in the Far East!"
"Oh God! How is this possible?" Crown Prince Edward swung the wine glass in his hand and almost threw his pants.
Crown Prince Edward, who was later Edward VII. As the eldest son of the queen, he took over the British throne after Queen Victoria's death and died of illness on the eve of World War I.
The king was still highly praised by later generations. Although his political talent was far inferior to his mother and even as good as other European kings and prime ministers, he had a very good attribute, which was his affinity.
Edward VII was good at diplomacy, and he would not be angry when faced with slander from others, but smiled generously. He even knelt down on the great statue of Napoleon when he visited France. This action was deeply praised by the French, which also laid the foundation for ease of British and French relations during his later years in power.
Including the Sino-British, France and Russia alliance in World War I, he laid the foundation when he lived, which shows how strong this person's diplomatic ability is.
People with higher affinity are generally kind, which is a kind of nature. For example, when looking at Xiao Letian, Benjamin is a skeptical. At first glance, he saw Xiao Letian as a bad person first, and then proved and solved it bit by bit. He had to see you one good thing after another before he could slowly move you into the pile of good people. Once you do one or two things wrong in this process, he would immediately classify you into the pile of bad people.
It is difficult for such people to win the faith because they are suspicious by nature.
On the contrary, when Edward met a stranger when he met someone, he would rather talk directly about the other person as a good person, and then observe you little by little during the long process of getting along. Only after he found that you did a series of bad things will he classify you from the pile of good people to the pile of bad people.
Of course, in this process, if you do a few good things or confessions, then he will choose to trust you again and push you back to the pile of good people.
This is a completely different human nature. Kind people naturally have a high affinity and can win the love of the people in diplomatic occasions.
"Dear Prime Minister, do you look too highly of the Chinese? Then a newly born force can have the ability to defeat the powerful Tsarist Russia? I really don't believe it..."
"Dear Crown Prince, you may have anything! Don't forget that the Far East is actually an enclave of Tsarist Russia. Although the territory is connected on the map, without railways and annual permafrost, it is difficult for Europe to provide resources!"
"In other words, Xiao Letian is fighting with the power of the country and the power of Tsarist Russia... In this way, if you take a look, do you still have confidence in Tsarist Russia?"
The queen was moved by saying a word, "Wait a minute... Did Hong Kong send a telegram back to China three months ago? It said that Xiao Letian launched a financial war in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China, and he won in the end?"
"Yes, wise queen, you reminded me... So Xiao Letian not only exerts the full strength of the Chinese clan, but he even stole a powerful force from the Qing Empire!"
Benjamin said that there was nothing wrong with Xiao Letian's fundamental strategy to defeat Tsarist Russia is to kill the Russian army in the Far East state with all his might.
The Chinese people are very subordinate. This war has mobilized all the money within the Chinese people. For example, Niu Zhanggui, Mi Fu and other bosses have long tied all their wealth to Xiao Letian's chariot, prospering and losing.
Not only that, Xiao Letian also used money and stock markets to launch a financial crisis to tie most of Jiangnan's wealth to his own chariot.
The wealth in Jiangnan almost broke out in one-third of the entire Qing Empire. Xiao Letian mobilized most of the people, which means that he mobilized at least one-sixth of the Qing Empire's national strength and the overall national strength of the Chinese nation, and together they fought against the lonely troops in the Far East.
The Far East is only the coastal harbour of the Far East within the territory of the Tsarist Russian Empire, and it is intended to be a state.
With such a gap in strength, how can Tsarist Russia be invincible?
