3359 Xiao Letian's lobbyist

Gladston opened his mouth but couldn't speak. Xiao Letian pushed him to a dead end with a few words.

Aren’t you awesome in Britain? Then you stand up for Spain, help Spain defeat the Philippines, and you send the expeditionary force deep into the rainforest to work with the Chinese guerrillas!

The British are not that stupid. They are very smart businessmen and they can't do business that loses money.

First of all, the relationship between Britain and Spain is not very good. These two countries are mortal enemies during the Age of Discovery!

In the later period, France conquered Spain, and the French coalition began a century-long battle with Britain. Of course, the winner was naturally Britain.

British citizens have no emotional foundation for Spain. If Gladstone really helps Spain send troops to war, domestic voters will have to impeach him directly.

It is impossible to send troops directly, so what about indirect support? This is probably impossible, because the British military experts are more professional, and their analysis of this war is actually more pessimistic.

Luzon is a rainforest island with a tropical climate, and fighting in such a place is simply a disaster!

The Chinese people launched an uprising of millions of Chinese in Luzon, and these were all "indigenous people" born in the Philippines for two or three hundred years.

They are very familiar with the local mountains, rivers, land and rainforests. They launch a long-term battle. So how long will the European expeditionary force delay?

The Army has never been Britain's strength, let alone fighting in the hell-like rainforest. How many British young men will have to die to achieve their strategic goals?

Britain's interest demands lie in the ocean, and on the sea trade routes. As long as no one challenges Britain's interests in this regard, they will not die for irrelevant people.

The Chinese are obviously not harming the British maritime interests at the moment. Even due to the existence of the Chinese, many ports in Asia have developed very well, and many high-quality goods from China's inland have also been discovered through the hands of the Chinese.

Xiao Letian did give British merchants a lot of preferential treatment conditions in commercial trade, so he really wanted to declare war with the Chinese, and the British capital forces actually disagree.

After all, this is just a blackmail from the top British officials, and I didn’t intend to use force from the beginning!

Xiao Letian accurately touched Gladstone's pulse. He even knew that even if the Prime Minister was going crazy, he would not have to pass his proposal in the House of Commons!

No one cares about the life and death of the Spanish, the Chinese people don’t care, and the UK doesn’t care!

Gladstone never expected that Xiao Letian would really spend 10 million pounds to buy Luzon, nor did he expect that the idiot Amadio I would really be willing to sell it.

Amadio's bid for 8 million pounds was worth 10 million pounds. To be honest, this price is really not expensive!

Buying a whole Philippines with such a small amount of money is worth the money!

But Gladstone refused to admit defeat. The last pusher of the Chinese encirclement this time was actually the queen, and he had to fight to the end for the queen.

"Xiao Letian, you seem to have forgotten that Isabella II has the right to speak!" the Prime Minister threatened.

"Oh? When will the queen who step down be able to interfere in the national affairs? This is the European rule..." Xiao Letian said quietly.

Gladstone snorted fiercely with his nostrils, "Hmph... Those who step down can also take the stage. It's not certain who will fall into the throne in the end!"

Xiao Letian shrugged, "Then I'll wait and see..."

Gladstone left the delegation of the Spanish government, as if ignoring a pile of garbage, and turned her expectant eyes to the three auditoral representatives sent by Queen Isabella.

Xiang Ying's face suddenly turned pale. He realized that the problem was not good. He messed up the first time he started diplomaticism. Queen Isabella and these ministers made him offend him miserably.

On that cold night with the sea breeze, the fat pig-like queen stood naked in the storm of Xiang Ying!

The scene is vivid in my mind, and now I still feel very disgusting when I think about it!

I almost let the sow give it to me. This incident can be said to be a shame for Xiang Ying throughout his life!

But today, seeing the British taking advantage of the issue and using the Spanish issue to attack the Chinese, Xiang Ying regretted a little more, "If I had to endure it and close my eyes at that time... wouldn't it be over?"

‘Why can’t I hold it back? Another piece of meat is indispensable, it’s really a big deal!’

Gladstone looked at the goatee "I want to hear the Queen's attitude towards this war!"

Goatee stood up and nodded to the people present, then took out a note from his suit pocket. "I brought the Queen's handwritten handwritten book, and the Queen expressed her deep concern for this Philippine War..."

The Queen of Spain's resignation is concerned about this war, and the incumbent Queen in Buckingham Palace in England is more concerned about this diplomatic negotiation, but at this moment, Queen Victoria and the Crown Prince are meeting guests whom they think are familiar with.

The crown prince's eyes showed a light that men knew. The woman sitting opposite her drinking tea was really elegant. From the side, her neck curve was as beautiful as a swan.

Princess Sissi, this top European beauty, has become Xiao Letian’s lobbyist at this moment!

Putting down the black tea, Princess Sissi slapped the folding fan and smiled at the queen, "Her Majesty, I won't go around the circle with you, and the whole family will not speak two words..."

Queen Victoria was a very old grandmother in Europe. His children were married to royal families in Europe, and Queen Victoria's parents have always ruled Bavaria.

From the genealogy of my father, Princess Sissi and the Queen are also related!

In fact, in that era, all the high-ranking nobles in Europe, especially the royal family, had relatives. Otherwise, why hemophilia was so popular in the later period was because of the marriage of intimate relatives.

Princess Sissi is really the best candidate for being a lobbyist. She doesn't need any diplomatic rhetoric at all. She just throws out diplomatic problems just like chatting between relatives.

"Your Majesty, I sent Xiao Letian a message... He is well aware of the rules of the game set by the British Empire, and he is willing to govern the country within the rules of Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Please rest assured by Your Majesty. He has absolutely no intention to challenge the absolute dominance of the British Empire... Even Xiao Letian said that in the future, his navy can only operate in the Pacific Ocean, and he can make his navy an absolute defensive force!"

Before the queen could say anything, the crown prince's eyes lit up, "Be serious? How did Xiao Letian really express his opinion?"

Before Princess Sissi could answer, the queen waved her hand, "I don't want to hear what Xiao Letian said, I just want to see how he is going to do it!"

Note: Well... I suddenly realized that our "Qing Yinlong" has exceeded 8 million words!

It’s 8,080,000 words! It’s really hard to imagine, I forgot how I survived it!

I'm so dizzy! Are there more than eight million words of books on historical themes in online books?

Is there? Is there? Brothers and sisters, we have witnessed a miracle!

Do you want ten million words in the future? I really want to give it a try!

For the sake of the number of words exceeding 8 million, I will recommend the vote!
