"Please be quiet and put away your notebooks. This meeting is highly confidential and does not allow any form of notes..." Under Xiao Letian's strict order, the Chinese senior executives in the room put away their notebooks one after another, everyone's eyes were on All turned to him.
There was only one exception in the whole room, and that was Wang Junlan, the leader of the daily care group. However, everyone knows that the Daily Note is a special group that records the words and deeds of the head of state. There is a separate confidentiality system to restrain him. The security is extremely high, so no one is afraid of leaks from the Daily Note team.
Xiao Letian knocked on the table and coughed lightly, "I have always wanted to hold this meeting, but because the preparations on the European side have not achieved the expected goals, I am not sure whether the plan can be successfully promoted, so it was delayed..."
"But King Yi just sent the latest information. Our remaining personnel in Europe have finally made a major breakthrough. The most difficult part of the European strategy has finally been connected. Although the connection point is still very fragile, the trend has taken shape. It is gratifying. !”
"Today, I can tell you clearly that we may have to stay in Europe for a long time this time, maybe a year, maybe a year and a half. After all, we have to participate in a war and have to conduct several difficult negotiations. …”
"Why should I leave Xiao Hexin in Ryukyu? Because after I leave for a long time, only he and Long Ye, the two veterans, can control the situation..."
"Maybe, it's not necessarily that we will spend two New Years outside!"
With a bang, the surrounding senior officials began to whisper. No one expected that this state visit would take so long. This had exceeded the maximum time limit for a normal visit.
But no one questioned the head of state's decision. After all, the Chinese came to participate in the war under the banner of a diplomatic visit. At this moment, except for a few high-level officials in Prussia, all European countries could not believe that the Chinese came to Europe to fight.
"We are in Europe and have to fight two battles, one overt and one dark, and we have to deal with two opponents, one overt and one dark..."
"The obvious hot war is the Franco-Prussian War. I have reached a consensus with Bismarck that next year is the best time to start! It is late July now, and there are more than four months until 1870. By then Prussia will follow Plan to complete war preparations..."
"All reserve soldiers will be trained, the planned combat supplies will be prepared, and the diplomatic negotiations will come to an end... No one is willing to negotiate with Napoleon III. To deal with that arrogant lunatic, he will have to experience war. The iron fist!"
"This is a war on the surface, but the war in secret is a series of diplomatic negotiations, with Britain, with Tsarist Russia, including with France after the war... Don't think that the negotiations will be easy, this kind of war without gunpowder is actually Even more tragic!"
"This is a war between light and dark, and we still have two opponents, light and dark!"
"The overt opponents are France and Tsarist Russia! And the secret opponents..."
Xiao Letian suddenly fell silent. His eyes looked around, as if he was reminding everyone to listen carefully to every word that followed.
"Our secret opponent is actually the ultimate enemy of the true rise of our Chinese nation...that is Britain!"
No one present spoke, but everyone's expressions became serious. They knew that today was an important meeting involving the core strategy of the Chinese nation, and every word Xiao Letian said would affect the fate of the Chinese nation in the future.
"Yes, our ultimate enemy is the United Kingdom, because in this world, no matter how a country wants to develop, it is inevitable to solve the relationship problem with the United Kingdom! There is no way, who has made it a global Empire, its influence has surpassed that of any country in human history!”
"We cannot be arrogant. We must know that the name of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets is not just a boast. They have the largest colonial territory in the world, far exceeding the Qing Dynasty! Their resources are countless, and their industrial strength is a hundred times that of ours!"
"Did you know? During the Victorian era, Britain's annual industrial product output accounted for 40% of the world's total output. Looking at Europe and the United States as a whole, the total amount of industrial products produced by Britain reached more than 55%!"
"This is the foundation of Britain. Now the combined strength of all the countries in the European continent is no match for him. Even if the United States is added, it is just a tie!"
"Now you know how terrible the British are, right? To be honest, compared with the British, our Chinese nation's current strength is like ants versus elephants..."
"Maybe you want to ask, since the gap is so huge, why do we still unrealistically position the UK as our opponent?"
"The answer is very simple, because the relationship between countries is mutual, and we cannot be friendly just because we want to be!"
"If we, the Chinese, do not develop and maintain our current scale forever, then Britain will not be our enemy! But that is impossible. Our ultimate goal is to establish a federal state for our Chinese in the Western Pacific. , maritime interests are what we must seize..."
"By then, even if we don't want to be enemies with Britain, they will take the initiative to go to war with us! Therefore, preparations for war must start from now, and the string in our hearts must be tightened!"
Xiao Letian's words moved everyone present. The topic brought up by the head of state today was something that many people had not thought of. The senior officials here are not the frogs in the well before. They have all gone abroad to see the world with open eyes, and have conducted in-depth understanding of the international situation. Research.
To be more discouraging, everyone here is well aware of the power of Britain. Even the extremely hawkish Xiang Ying has never thought of going to war with Britain.
Especially this Royal Navy escort operation is a show of force and muscle by the British to the Chinese. Dozens of armored warships surround the Chinese fleet. In fact, it tells the Chinese that the British navy is powerful and powerful. Invincible.
Including Xiao Letian, in his previous work and life, he did not reveal any clues about going to war with Britain! These words really scared everyone today. Even Wang Junlan, who was taking notes, shook his hand subconsciously, and a puddle of ink stained the white paper.
Xiao Letian saw everyone's nervousness and uneasiness, and he suddenly smiled, "Don't worry too much. What I'm talking about is the long-term strategy of our Chinese nation in the future. It should be said that this kind of hot war will not happen within twenty years." occurring!"
"And I won't be arrogant in trying to defeat Britain in twenty or thirty years. That's unrealistic! What I want is to endure hardship for twenty or thirty years..."
"Let our Chinese race have the power to make a draw with Britain in Asia! As long as we can draw a tie, we Chinese race will be fine!"
