2195 Xiao Letian's Probe

Newcastle and the Duke may have noticed the change in the Queen's attitude towards the Chinese people, otherwise no matter how much interest he and Xiao Letian cooperate, they would not dare to come up with ideas to oppose Benjamin.

After hundreds of years of accumulation, the British Prime Minister's system has now been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although the royal family nominally ruled the British Isles, the power of the Prime Minister cannot be underestimated. Many times, the queen also wants to give face to the Prime Minister.

The queen has no right to interfere in the decisions within the power of the Prime Minister!

However, Queen Victoria is an exception. This European royal grandmother is so popular with the people. The people's love is the queen's supreme magic weapon. With her huge reputation, Queen Victoria has suppressed the cabinet tightly throughout her life.

The queen can stop talking, but if the queen speaks, no one can disobey it!

It was the subtle change in the royal family's attitude that made the old hunting dog, the Duke of Newcastle, smell a little strange, which led to his suggestion to Xiao Letian.

"This is how war is. Before the full-scale decisive battle, there are always small conflicts and small temptations to open the way. Just like some of Benjamin's small actions yesterday. It doesn't mean that he wants to kill you on that day, but it's just a test of your reaction..."

"Yesterday Benjamin moved the two pawns, the French and Tsarist Russian envoys, to see your reaction, but he didn't expect you to eat them cleanly..."

"So, as usual, you should be playing chess at this moment! If you don't take the initiative to test it, how can you know Benjamin's next move?"

"Well, it makes sense...you keep going!" Xiao Letian showed a complete ear-washing listening.

The Duke of Newx said with a little pride, "It's simple! Didn't you throw out a piece of bait yesterday? Keep making the article..."

"Just start with that reserve in Mauritius and see how Benjamin will deal with it!"

"Mauritius is legally within the Indian colonial system, and the queen is crowned the title of Indian Queen, so the ownership of this island is in the hands of the queen!"

"Well, there is nothing wrong. I asked my subordinates to investigate that the deserted island exiled some European criminals and many Indian untouchables. I heard that a group of refugees from the late Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also fled there..."

"That place is too poor, so no nobles or capitalists are interested in it, so this land is basically without property rights entanglement. Since no one owns it, it naturally belongs to the first title owner, that is, the queen's property!"

"If you want to buy land in Mauritius, you must apply to the Royal Asset Management Office in your personal name. The Royal Family has its own independent accounting firm and legal firm to help deal with these royal property transactions..."

"After all, it's about the transactions of overseas colonies, and your identity is quite special. The Royal Asset Management Office will definitely submit a bill to the parliament to seek approval... Then when the bill is submitted to the parliament, I think Benjamin has to take action!"

The duke drank black tea in small sips and analyzed calmly, "Benjamin will find a way to stop this transaction anyway, so it is very likely that his later moves will be exposed in advance!"

"This is a good thing! As long as he plays his trump card, the safer you will be... Even if you don't buy Mauritius land successfully, it doesn't matter. Anyway, what you are looking for is to establish diplomatic relations with the UK..."

"When Benjamin's trump card is out, you will seek key breakthroughs in the main tasks. I think the resistance will definitely be much smaller!"

"Perfect!" Xiao Letian couldn't help but clap. "I understand what you mean. This is to force Benjamin to play the trump card in advance and detonate the killer moves that were originally intended to be released in the negotiations on diplomatic relations in advance?"

"Very perfect! Since that's the case, I can buy some properties in central London in my personal name in these days. Then I see what he says, since I can buy commercial real estate in London, I, Xiao Lotte, can I not have the right to buy a worthless desert island in the Indian Ocean?"

The Duke also smiled, "That's right, I'll ask someone to search for high-quality real estate. You can completely renovate it after you purchase it. In the future, this will be a branch in our catering empire!"

It’s true that luck comes with heaven and earth are the same! Xiao Letian is not a stingy person. He knows how to share interests with others, so Xiao Letian’s friends can be everywhere.

In this world, only the fools of the Qing Dynasty would treat all foreigners as enemies and as floods and beasts to be prepared for themselves.

What is the result? The ending of no friends is to let the whole of Europe be enemies with you. Any attack measurement against the Qing Dynasty will not have any objection in Europe.

If you don’t know how to divide and disintegrate the enemy, wouldn’t you seek a dead end in governing the country like this?

The highlight of all events today is the dinner party. The British side knows that the envoys are extremely physically and mentally exhausted after a long sea voyage, so they did not arrange too many events today.

Emperor Tongzhi had only one arrangement to accompany the queen for morning tea in the morning, and in the afternoon he visited two schools in London, and then he was going to go to the East Palace to attend a dinner.

Xiao Letian's arrangement today was to inspect the Royal Guard barracks in Hyde Park. In fact, he was also to inspect the conditions of his brother's residence, and then the Duke of Newx and the Duke of Newx would assist him to distribute all the invitations.

A very hot day passed like this. Xiao Letian's carriage was filled with all the newspapers in London that day. None of the front pages missed, whether they were praising him or accusing him, whether they were ridiculing or vigilant! Xiao Letian read all the reports very carefully.

Through the carriage window, he could see the citizens in the cafe on the corner of the street holding newspapers and arguing with each other, and even saw a gentleman walking while reading the newspaper and hitting the gas lamp pole.

Of course, there are also huge oriental ink and water landscape paintings. Almost all of the paintings are filled with citizens. The citizens who did not have the opportunity to visit the grand occasion yesterday have all gone out of the factory today and have come out to see this rare world.

"Reputation! This is reputation... I'll try it well. The more I'm famous in Europe, the harder it will be for you, Benjamin, to kill me. As long as I can't die, I can play with you slowly. Do you really think I'm invincible?"

"Haha... do you understand if you use a knife to kill someone? There are some knives that can kill you!"

The sun wheel sinks westward, and the moon wheel rises eastward! The gas lights outside the East Palace were lit two hours earlier than usual. This Chinese return banquet was highly valued. The London Police Department specially sent people to block the streets around the East Palace and only VIPs with invitations were allowed to enter.

Luxurious carriages ran across the stone road in a flash. The dressed ladies, ladies and well-dressed gentlemen walked off the carriage and walked into the East Palace under the guidance of their attendants.

As a result, when these VIPs opened their eyes, they were stunned by everything in front of them!
