Xiao Letian fell into silence, and everyone on the scene looked at him, with anxious expressions. This was the core of all the problems, because no matter how sufficient Chinese principles were spoken, you could not grasp Benjamin's attitude at all.

If this old man is completely shameless, acts like a scoundrel, and ignores all the principles of you Chinese, what should you do if you ask Xiao Letian?

After being silent for three or four minutes, Xiao Letian sighed and turned his head and said, "Pick the map over, the one from East Asia..."

"Since I've asked about this, I'll give you a clear answer. Prime Minister Benjamin has always claimed to the public that I am an ambitious man and a warlord. My ultimate goal is to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and to be the king of the king and dominate myself..."

"There are also Chinese people! The Prime Minister also looks at him with tinted glasses, just like the Chinese people are like beasts, just like the appearance of Chinese people will definitely stir up bloody storms and invade other countries..."

"Are the Chinese agglomeration of a group of ambitious people or the hope for East Asia's revival? I can't boast about myself, I can only honestly tell everyone the facts and reason..."

The map slowly unfolded beside Xiao Letian, and the mountains, rivers, landforms and oceans of East Asia were gradually displayed in front of everyone.

Looking at the ancient and desolate land of East Asia, Xiao Letian's face suddenly turned extremely sad like a movie emperor. Wang Huaiyuan behind him passed a document without waiting for the head of state to speak.

Xiao Letian raised the paper in his hand, "Gentlemen, this is the latest report sent to me by my subordinates before I left Ryukyu. The words on it are all blood and tears..."

"In March 1869, a severe spring drought occurred in Ruzhou and Nanyang, Henan Province. There was no rain in March. The per capita price of wheat seedlings affected exceeded 2 million mu. Some areas even experienced changes of children and food..."

"Have you heard of Yi Zi Ershi? That's because the desperate people really can't survive. The two families exchange young children and then eat people to survive!"

Hiss... the crowd was gasping for air conditioning. Although the gap between the rich and the poor in Europe after the Industrial Revolution was still severe, the characteristics of cannibalism, such as the dark era, have long disappeared.

In this era, although the lower class people were very hard, their basic survival could still be guaranteed. Extreme exceptions like Ireland* can be recorded in history forever.

But this was not the case in the Qing Dynasty. Primitive and traditional agricultural technology relied heavily on looking at the weather. Almost every year, there were *spanning the prefectures in the Qing Dynasty, and countless famines affected hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.

How many of this situation is? Basically, the officials are too lazy to report the famine that has been a hundred thousand people, and the historians are too lazy to write. The famine that has exceeded one hundred thousand is at most is in the county annals and the prefecture annals.

Only those special courts that affected a province and suffered disasters in millions of people were taken seriously, and the historians in Beijing would write to record the matter.

"Haha, I'm eating with you! This is not a few words in ancient books, this is a tragedy that happened in the Qing Dynasty! In order to avoid such a tragedy, when the famine began, our Chinese people had already mobilized 200,000 stones of food and sent it to us for emergency...

"God knows how much these foods will be embezzled, and God knows whether the people can eat enough... But at least with these foods, eating human flesh will be much more relieved..."

Xiao Letian rubbed his red eyes, "I want to completely solve these famines, but I am powerless. Not only Ruzhou and Nanyang Prefectures, just in April, the Fen River in Shanxi was hit by heavy rain, and more than 100,000 people in Pingyang Prefecture were affected by disaster..."

"Immediately afterwards, the Jiaozhou area of ​​Shandong Province encountered a once-in-a-century locust plague, and the green seedlings in the three counties were eaten up..."

"During May and June, Fujian, Guangzhou and Guangxi were swept by typhoons, and hundreds of thousands of people were hit by the disaster, and the Qing Dynasty could not take care of it..."

"The south of the Yangtze River is in the economic recovery period, and the northwest is still fighting. Where can the imperial court have money to provide disaster relief? He is powerless..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Letian pointed at the small island country on the sea. "The court is not reliable, so even though our Chinese people are weak, they cannot stand by and watch. They cannot save the victims of the whole country. I can at least save some of them..."

"Even if the power of kindness is weak, we must do it! Gentlemen, Prime Minister Benjamin keeps spreading the Chinese threat theory to Europe, saying that we are ambitious and invaders!"

He pointed to the broken map of the country with a trembling hand, "China's suffering is something you can't imagine. The people even have a basic meal. Who else can we invade? What ambition can we have?"

"It's not easy to protect yourself!" Xiao Letian was so painful that he beat his chest with his hands, and tears burst out from his eyes. Countless photographers pressed the shutter to record this scene.

Everyone was shocked by the miserable scene described by the Head of State. The editors and reporters present were all elites in London, and they were middle-class and above, and they had long lost their sense of hunger.

When they heard the head of state reveal his family's misfortune, everyone was shocked and even forgot the record.

"How is it possible? Didn't the Qing Dynasty claim to be a great country in the Celestial Empire? Even if the real situation is different from what the court said, it wouldn't be so big!"

Xiao Letian nodded, "The gap is so big. If I have the opportunity, I am willing to provide convenience for everyone, so that you can personally go into the inland of the Qing Dynasty and see what the real Qing Dynasty looks like..."

"Okay, I can answer everyone's doubts just now, why Prime Minister Benjamin is so afraid of the Chinese people... That's because he only saw one huge side of China, but ignored the other weak side of China..."

"How many people do China have? Although there is no accurate number at this moment after a war, it is still guaranteed between 500 million and 600 million..."

"How big is China's land area? It has more than 10 million square kilometers. In addition to the empire of the sun, it is the second largest empire in the world..."

"Such a vast land, so many people, and such a large size is really scary... Our Chinese people rose in East Asia, and the mother body they rely on is naturally China. The Prime Minister is worried and afraid that the Chinese people will one day mobilize such a large size, and in the end they will naturally challenge the interests of the Empire of the Sun-Downward Empire!"

"I can understand the Prime Minister's concerns. Standing in his position, it is understandable to say these words for the sake of the national security of the United Kingdom... So, I was not angry from the beginning to the end, nor did I feel any disgust towards the Prime Minister personally!"

"In his position, he just plans his politics!"

"But I can't explain it clearly, I can't tell you thoroughly, I can't beat the casserole forever... Hahaha, I'll give you some answers to the Prime Minister's worries and the worries of the entire UK today!"
