Life is entirely dependent on acting skills. Zai Chun really understands the three flavors, and this bitter scene is fully performed.

He knew his master's skills very well and the horror of the CIA, so he did not dare to hide any secret negotiations between himself and the UK. He knew that these were not secrets for Xiao Letian at all.

But he also knew very well, that was the secret that the Wing King was still alive, and the master must not know that he had already known it by chance.

This is the most important point. As long as Xiao Letian believes that the secret of the Wing King has not been leaked, the conflict between Zaichun and him is not between life and death, but is just caused by uneven distribution of interests.

At least Emperor Tongzhi believed that as long as it was a conflict caused by uneven distribution of interests, it would be easy to resolve if it really didn't work, just write a blank check desperately.

However, the issue of hair growth is the bottom line between the two sides. The Qing Dynasty had no room for negotiation at this point. The deadly enemies formed by hundreds of millions of lives cannot be resolved by humans at all, even saints cannot do it.

Zaichun is betting on Xiao Letian now, so he is able to get away with it. When he heard the master's resentful answer, he quickly knelt on the ground and pretended to be pitiful.

"Master, I'm not a disciple, I have shallow eyes. Tell me what is the Chinese army that is only 30,000 to 40,000 troops?"

"Of course I know that they have high combat effectiveness, but no matter how high they are, how big the territory can they control? When I take power in the future, I will rely on you as a backer, how much sphere of influence can I control?"

"It would be good if 30,000 to 40,000 people can control one Northern Zhili. What should you do if you ask me to do in other provinces?"

"You have always taught me to recognize reality, not to be too ambitious, eat food at a sip, and do things one by one... Living is more important than anything else, but today when I really do what you mean, why don't you understand your apprentice so much?"

Zai Chun started acting, and his sleeves were covered with tears and snot, "I... what can I do? People have to bow their heads under the low eaves... Now they live on a British acre of three-point land, can I not give Benjamin face?"

"You know that Benjamin has many conflicts with you. What he wants is to divide our master and apprentice. So what is wrong with me and I have to do with the snake? Do we both have to have a grudge against the British Prime Minister?"

"Wuwuwu... Besides, if you don't take advantage, that's a bastard! If you take advantage of him, is this avenge? Benjamin has raised the price to more than 10 million pounds!"

"Master, that's more than 10 million pounds of military aid funds, enough for me to turn the tables on my disciple. Don't? Don't want me to be a fool!"

"Eat his bastards and drink his bastards. As for how to pay back the money in the future, we have a hard back. Can't we talk about everything?"

"Besides, that railway is built on the land of our Qing Dynasty no matter what. If you say that he will take care of it for a few years, then let him take care of it. If you annoy us the next year, what can you do if the contract is torn apart?"

"At most, we will have another war. At that time, we try to join forces, and I don't believe that we can't win! Even if we can't win, we will have a draw and force them to make concessions at the negotiating table..."

Xiao Letian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You...you! There is no simpler place as you think. Get up first. This is the British Parliament. There are some things you can't say, get up quickly..."

When Zaichun saw the master's expression, he felt secretly happy. He finally passed the test. It seemed that the tears were not in vain.

Xiao Letian didn't know what to say. He had hundreds of years of memories in his belly. He knew very well how much the great powers had for controlling the railway. Sometimes he could even control the territory and even control the railway.

The biggest pie in the Russo-Japanese War was the right to distribute the Middle East Road. Japan lost 100,000 lives for this war, and finally divided the railway control of the three eastern provinces with Tsarist Russia.

If you control the railway, you will control all economic activities along the railway. If you control the economy, you will be only one step away from actually annexing the territory.

Railway, railway! This is a big killer to change geopolitics! How could you turn the tables when you want to turn the tables? But this principle cannot be explained clearly in one sentence or two sentences, at least it cannot be discussed in depth in the British Parliament.

After a heart-to-heart drama, the master and the apprentice finally passed the embarrassing period. Zaichun put a glass of wine for the master. "Master, after all, good things must be given to us. If you build a railway, you have to follow your rules and start a joint-stock company..."

"If you have fat, you have to be a master! Now let the British come in first and let them do the most difficult construction work. Once the railway is completed, things will be easier in the future. Even if it is bad, he will not be able to escape from the palms of our master and apprentice..."

"Be careful! What is this place? Be careful of the ears in the partition walls..."

After all, Zaichun's identity is still too special. As an emperor, you cannot use the moral standards of ordinary people to restrain him. He pays attention to real profit, has many deceitful words, and is both false and deceitful.

What's more, the future infiltration of Chinese people into the inland and the advancement of the fortress plan are inseparable from Zai Chun's cooperation, so it is absolutely impossible to turn against each other.

"Zaichun, let's stop on the railway matter today. Don't talk further, but Master, I want to remind you... Benjamin is about to step down. No one knows whether his promise can be counted. Whether Gladstone will inherit his policies is up to date!"

"Just remember one thing, don't rush to sign an agreement with the British, don't... At least you have to wait for me to finish this war, you have to remember that the more we perform on the battlefield, you can get more at the negotiating table!"

After hearing this, Zai Chun nodded desperately, "Yes, yes, what the master said is, my apprentice keep in mind... However, no matter how stupid Gladstone is, he will not deny the railway construction plan, right? I guess Gladstone will have to come to me sooner or later..."

Zai Chun guessed nothing wrong. At this moment, in the lounge on the first floor, Gladstone had already begun to recruit soldiers for his rule, and even reached into the Tory party's pockets.

Gordon, a military general who can only be considered a second-rate in Britain, really doubled his net worth this time because of Emperor Tongzhi. Due to his experience in the Qing Dynasty, he naturally became a lubricant for communication between Britain and the Qing Dynasty.

Gordon had already gained the trust of Emperor Tongzhi at this moment, and Gladstone had long seen all this. He took advantage of the important moment of power transfer and did not pull him under his command, and then he would have wanted to wait until he would not go.
