2289 Radiance Isolated
The negotiations ended unhappily, and Benjamin would never betray the British Empire's colonies, which is the reverse scale of this deep colonial faction.
But Xiao Letian was obviously confident and did not follow Benjamin's rhythm at all. The two of them were like two gears that had broken teeth, biting and rotating each other, breaking the steel slag all over the ground.
If the agreement cannot be reached, don’t talk. Xiao Letian got up and picked up his windbreaker to say goodbye. Benjamin gritted his teeth and stood up to see him off. The butler at the door had already been scared to fight. These were two prime ministers who could influence the world. The words they didn’t say determined the life and death of millions of people.
This kind of high-intensity pressure is not something that ordinary people can bear. At this moment, the butler saw that Xiao Letian no longer dared to look straight, and lowered his head and led the way respectfully.
As soon as he left the door of the study, Benjamin suddenly spoke, "Xiao Letian... You didn't want to talk to me from the beginning, right? You just decided that I would lose?"
"Yes, there is only one explanation. You want to wait for Gladstone to reorganize the cabinet government. Do you want to sign an agreement with him, right?"
"I don't know where you have the confidence, but I remind you that the Liberal Party has too low foundation. Just one Gladstone can't stand up at all. Even if the British politics is sent to the Whigs, it will not be given to Gladstone!"
"You made the wrong abacus!"
Xiao Letian's body shook and did not look back, but said quietly, "You can't guess what kind of abacus I am trying to do! Because you are the head of a prosperous era, you have an empire that shines like the sunlight at noon as your backing!"
"You cannot understand the sufferings we have suffered by declining nations, and you don't know what we have to pay for our rise. If I think about it, then I can only tell you one thing..."
Xiao Letian put on his hat and said coldly, "We only have one plan... that is to live, live in this cruel and cold world, civilizations will continue one after another, and the torch will continue!"
"Goodbye!" The door of the official residence was opened, and the wind in early autumn swayed in. The reporters who were guarding outside the door and received the news quickly recorded this sad scene.
Xiao Letian, who was serious, pressed his hat with one hand, and the wind blew the hem of the windbreaker. The vicissitudes and sadness filled the entire picture, and history was frozen in the photo at this moment.
The reporters flocked to the scene surrounded Xiao Letian, and the loyal guards blocked the walls to isolate these crazy reporters. All the questions were not answered, but this attitude itself was an answer.
Xiao Letian, sitting in the carriage, had a very serious face. In the end, Benjamin's words reminded him that the Prime Minister who replaced Benjamin in history was Gladstone, but since he had traveled to this parallel universe, could history not change?
Gladstone is indeed very strong, but there are also many veteran British politicians. The Liberal Party itself was created by a group of people split from the Whigs.
The Whig Party has become much weaker in this era, but being weak does not mean that it has no influence. If Benjamin is forced to turn all his resources into supporting a veteran Whig politician, then what if he step down?
Can Gladstone really come to power smoothly? If a politician who has never been in contact comes to power, how should the Chinese people's strategy be adjusted?
"Damn it, Gladstone must be put on power. The Liberal Party rule is the most important part of all my bets! There must be no mistakes!"
In fact, this kind of concern has been reflected in the CIA, but Xiao Letian is very stubborn and insists on putting the bet on the Liberal Party.
He has his considerations, and this consideration is indescribable to outsiders.
What exactly is the Liberal Party? This question is too big, but you can summarize the Liberal Party in this era in four words.
‘Guan Hui’s isolation’ This is the core ruling foundation of the Liberal Party. These people are the least willing to start a war among the old British political parties.
It’s not that they did not fight when they were in power, but that the chances of fighting when they were in power were much smaller. These people are good at internal affairs and attach importance to people’s livelihood, education, scientific research, diplomacy...
They respect free trade. As long as you do not violate the free trade norms and allow British merchants to do business fairly, they will not pose too much threat to you.
If you still find it difficult to understand this, then there is another Liberal celebrity in history that can be regarded as a special case.
Who is the strong promoter of World War II appeasement policy? British Prime Minister Chamberlain! This person is a Liberal, to put it bluntly, he is the disciple of Gladstone.
Damn, if you don’t hurry up, who else do you want to count on? What Xiao Letian wants now is the historical opportunity for ten years of low-key development. If you want to accumulate national strength, you must ensure external security.
"The United States now has the absolute upper hand. They don't even have time to eat islands in the Pacific. The only threat is Britain. If Glorious Isolationism can be implemented...even if it is implemented for more than ten years, it will be enough!"
"These two biggest rivals of the Chinese race can calm down a little. I am not afraid of other European countries at all. I still have the ability to divide and divide..."
"Come here! Is there any news from Gladstone...?"
Xiao Lotte needed Gladstone, but in fact Gladstone also needed him, because at this moment, a group of uninvited guests also came to Gladstone's home.
The official residence of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Chancell
But Gladstone and Benjamin had a bad relationship, so Gladstone would rather live in his villa in the Henan District of Thames. He even made a vow that he would never live in Downing Street without waiting for the Prime Minister.
Today, these uninvited guests were his private home. A group of people rushed into Gladstone's home impolitely under the protection of many plainclothes security guards.
No one dared to express his opinion, because the leader of this group of intruders was British Crown Prince Edward!
"Gladstone, I brought a group of villains. I'm afraid you'll have to spend a few bottles to keep them private for a long time..." Edward still likes to joke.
Familiar faces appeared from behind the prince, and Gladstone was stunned. It was not that these people were strange, but because these people were so familiar that they were unlikely to visit them together.
The Duke of Newcastle is here, an important member of the royal family and an active member.
The Tory people came, Foreign Minister Earl Larendon, his former Lord Stanley and three other Tory members were nodding to him.
