Xiao Letian said with a sneer, "It is certainly unwise to attract a tiger in order to kill a wolf. Some people suddenly felt that the Chinese had the potential to become hungry tigers, so they were afraid. They felt that they could not let it go. He made it big..."
"At this time, the success or failure of Tsarist Russia is no longer important. Anyway, the expedition fleet is destroyed, and the remaining army will not affect British maritime interests. At this time, Tsarist Russia has become a pitiful little sheep in need of rescue, and the aggressive Chinese , especially the fleet that can destroy the Tsarist Russian Navy, has become the biggest threat!"
"So some people began to carry out military mobilization. They mobilized warships from various colonies, opened up arsenals that had been dusty for many years, and took out war funds that had been prepared for a long time... A sudden sneak attack is being rehearsed!"
"Of course they have reason to do this. It goes without saying that the Zhiyuan staying on the sea is a potential threat to Britain's maritime interests. Do you think they will breed tigers?"
Xiao Letian tapped his finger on the table gently. "The numerical advantage is difficult to make up for with tactics. Once the Royal Navy of Asia comes out in force, the Chinese family's weak family will inevitably fall into a dilemma... Ryukyu Island, The Ryukyu Economic Circle, Tanggu, the Chinese Kentun District in Nanyang, and even the supply lines in the Far East will all be targets of attack by the British Navy..."
"Anyway, this kind of behavior similar to piracy has been used by Britain more than once in history. When it competed with Spain for the Atlantic route, isn't that what you did?"
"Of course, there is another very important target. You will keep an eye on the Zhiyuan and either sink or damage it, or directly block it in the port so that it will never dare to go to sea... Well, there are many of you, you That’s awesome!”
Bang bang...a monotonous sound of applause rang out. Ai Liguo smiled brightly and clapped his hands excitedly for this story.
"It's so wonderful. It's so wonderful. I have to admit that if I were twenty years younger, I would definitely be deceived by you and think that your story is true. It is indeed profound!"
"The wonderful thing about your story is that it uses a very convincing value system to deduce it. Indeed, in the battle between great powers, the changes between enemies and friends are very fast. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. I didn’t expect you to understand this so thoroughly..."
"But after all, this is still a story, not a fact, right? Hahaha, when our Royal Navy did not fire the first shot, your story will always be a joke..."
"Mr. Minister, are you admitting this plan in disguise?" The great monk Longshi chased after him with his stick.
Ai Liguo looked at the monk in surprise, and the military attache beside him hurriedly whispered a few words, and then he suddenly realized, "Ah! Sakamoto Ryoma? An outstanding figure of the Japanese reformists, a double agent who seduced the French into a trap! Listen! You said you're still an excellent swordsman? That's incredible, you actually became a monk?"
Ai Liguo shrugged indifferently, "Before something happens, any story will always be just a story. Who can blame us with a story?"
"Don't forget, we have a treaty with the Qing Dynasty. On the coast of the Qing Dynasty, our British Royal Navy can move freely. This is our right, right? Hahaha..."
The laughter angered many soldiers present. The Chinese army is the most educated army in Asia and even the world. This is actually one of the main reasons why Xiao Letian has been unable to expand the army on a large scale. Ordinary soldiers can read 2,000 words, and middle-level soldiers can read 2,000 words. The officers have already begun to learn foreign languages.
Ai Liguo's words were basically understood by the officers present. It is simply intolerable to be so arrogant and arrogant, treating a country's coastal waters as his own backyard.
Xiao Letian just let Ai Liguo laugh, without joy or sadness, just like watching a clown. After only three minutes, Ai Liguo felt embarrassed. He put away his laughter and looked at Xiao Letian with a straight face, "That's it? The Prime Minister invited me here. Meeting on a desert island just to tell me a story? What a waste of time..."
Xiao Letian was overjoyed and smiled very happily. "The story just now didn't look exciting enough! Then I will tell you the second story to see if you are interested?"
After saying that, there was no need for Ai Liguo to respond to Xiao Letian, who took a sip of wine to moisten his throat and continued, "At the end of the first story, the senior officials who conspired to organize a sneak attack were already prepared for war, but they suddenly discovered A very strange thing happened, that is, the domestic military authorization has not been obtained for a long time..."
"What's going on?"
There was a crisp sound, and Ai Liguo shouted, "Shameless! You dare to spy on the British Embassy? You are declaring war..."
"Oh oh oh... don't be so angry, didn't I just say it? This is a story, just to relieve your boredom this afternoon. Why do you take it seriously? Do you think my story is true? You have already admitted the story Everything in there?"
"Sophistry... you are just a scoundrel!" Ai Liguo growled through gritted teeth.
"Do you mean you don't want to hear the story? Well, I won't tell you anymore. Let's drink, drink... Come, come, let's talk about the most beautiful one in the eight alleys, okay? The minister must be There’s no need to go less, hahaha…”
Everyone was amused by Xiao Letian's rogue attitude, while the British were angrily about to draw their guns and fight. However, looking at the superior numbers of the Chinese Marines around them, these soldiers could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger.
Ai Liguo took several deep breaths before calming down. He put on a diplomat's signature smile, "Okay, I apologize to the Prime Minister. How about we continue the story..."
"You want to hear it? Are you sure you want to hear it? After listening to it, won't you pound the table in anger? Why can't I believe you? Do you want to write a guarantee not to get angry first..."
"That's enough!" Ai Liguo was completely mad. "Xiao Letian! Don't forget that you are the Prime Minister of the Chinese ethnic group. Can you please communicate politely in a language that suits your status?"
"Okay, okay... I was defeated by you. You really don't have any sense of humor! Since you want to know that story, let me tell it!"
"Speaking of those conspirators who have been cheating in the dark room. They thought that no one could know their little calculations, but they never imagined that there is a conspiracy outside the conspiracy to trap them... …”
"Think about it carefully, why has the number of telegrams sent back from Europe significantly decreased in the past month? Could it be that something big has happened in Europe?"
Note: I would like to remind many readers not to use your imaginary ending to judge the development of this book, especially the relationship between Xiao Letian and Tongzhi. I clearly tell you that all your guesses are wrong.
I won’t give you spoilers, so I won’t argue with you. Just read the book in peace. You don’t need to be reminded how cruel the revolution is.
In addition, I would like to state again that it has been said countless times in this book that the Qing Dynasty will definitely fall in the end. In this book, the country will fall. If you don’t know the words, go to a cram school and take two more days of classes. Don’t The protagonist of this nonsense is going to continue the fate of the Qing Dynasty. With your own eyes, you see that the protagonist is a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty? In that plot, the protagonist wanted to renew his life for the Qing Dynasty?
Why do you think you are paranoid when you read a book? Are you going to argue with me about a fantasy plot?
