Hearing the praise from his men, Gladstone did not get carried away. This is the basic quality of a mature politician, that is, he is immune to flattery and flattery, and can maintain a calm mind for a long time.
"Why are those Benjamins attacking me? That I'm an isolationist with no enterprising spirit? That I'm a coward who doesn't dare to fight?"
"Haha, a bunch of idiots, a bunch of war maniacs who just know how to kill, what benefits can they bring to the empire?"
"You must remember that the British Empire is already the pinnacle of the human world. There is no country above us that we can learn from. There is only God above us!"
Gladstone pointed at the void above his head and said with a serious face, "The Chinese have an old saying that is very cold at high places! Since there are no pioneers above, we have entered a road without any signposts. The muddy swamp, or labyrinth..."
"There is no experience of success or failure to refer to. Every action we take must be judged by ourselves or even gamble on whether it is right or wrong!"
"Every step must be taken carefully. Every decision we make involves millions of pounds and the happiness of millions of people. We must not be careless..."
"If we succeed in a decision or a certain kind of investment, we can only maintain our first position. But what if we fail? I am afraid that the second place will bite us fiercely. The rules that are followed between countries are It’s always the law of the jungle!”
"Do you know why we haven't made large-scale capital investment in iron-clad warships before? That's the reason. Every update of naval equipment involves an investment of hundreds of millions of pounds, so don't be careful!"
"Let the Prussians and Chinese find a way out for us, and let the actual combat of the Zhiyuan provide data for our judgment, so that we can ensure the winning rate of our investment! Precisely because the Zhiyuan has indeed won several beautiful battles, so I just agreed to fund Benjamin’s navy’s new warships…”
"This is not a partisan fight, I am responsible for the empire!"
"Gentleman, you are a true gentleman. You have the best character of a knight in the Chinese era..." The surrounding officials suddenly started to make flattering noises.
Gladstone waved his hand, "No need to flatter me. You must always remember that the interests of the empire are higher than those fought by the party. The competition below us cannot harm the overall interests of the empire. This is the basis for the existence of the party. If we violate this principle, what is the difference between us and those shameless bureaucrats of the Qing Dynasty?"
"Going back to the topic just now, our British Empire is now number one in the world. If we want to remain number one forever, we should work hard on our internal strength... Oh, by the way, this is also an Eastern proverb!"
"Education must be education first! If Britain wants to remain on top of the world forever, it must ensure a steady stream of talents for future generations, and the current education system is completely wrong!"
"We in the UK have the ability and should take the lead in promoting comprehensive compulsory education, and should allow every young person to enjoy certain educational opportunities. Only in this way can we maintain the driving force for the advancement of the empire..."
“Not only the progress of science and technology, education can also improve the quality of the entire nation. I can responsibly say to you that for every one percentage point the government increases its investment in education, it can save three percentage points in public security funds... "
"Look at how much the Metropolitan Police Department is struggling with right now. The chaotic management and organizational capabilities are actually rooted in poor education..."
"If the quality of our police could be improved to another level, and the education level of these 400,000 citizens could be improved to another level, do you think there would still be this chaos today?"
"No, definitely not anymore... We all understand what you mean. It's really like this. If compulsory education in the British Empire can be popularized and persisted for ten or twenty years, we will definitely gain something by then..."
"Perhaps one day, if such a gathering of more than 400,000 people is held in London again, there will be no need to mobilize 50,000 to 60,000 military police! When the quality of the citizens and the quality of government workers are improved, maybe the activities of 400,000 people will be better. An organization with more than 10,000 people will go very smoothly..."
"Hahaha... That's right, my friends, now you know the core philosophy of my governance, right? Improving the soft power of the British Empire is the foundation for our long-term peace and stability..."
The remarks of Gladstone and his group of domestic politicians would naturally not escape the ears of the colonialists, but no one dared to quarrel with this cannon, even Benjamin was intimidated, let alone them.
Sir Gordon rolled his eyes at the group of Liberals, gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, "Idiot, the glory of the British Empire was achieved by battleships and cannons, and the interests of the empire were also maintained by war. If you don't go out to expand, do you still want to achieve today's achievements? "
"You can make the country strong by hiding in the British Isles and being a coward? Idiot..."
People say that walls have ears, and this is so true. Sir Gordon cursed people behind their backs, but the people from the Liberal Party heard it. The easy-going person quickly spread these small words to other people, and everyone in the Liberal Party was immediately stunned. Angry.
But this is a public place after all, and we can't fall out. Several murmuring Liberal Party politicians came to Gladstone's side and whispered, "Leader, those bastards just scolded you, that's Gordon..."
Then several people repeated those words with embarrassment, and finally they said, "We can't let them off lightly. You gave the order and sent out our grassroots members. No matter what, we have to add fuel to the fire..."
"Benjamin wants to hold this grand event safely, so let's sprinkle some salt on him. We can't let him get complacent... We have to embarrass him in front of the Queen!"
Gladstone frowned and suddenly yelled in a low voice, "Shut up! Can't stand being scolded by others? I've scolded many people, can everyone scold me back?"
"Remember our identity, we are politicians, not those hooligans in the West End. We must have a holistic view... Do you want to leave a stain on this event that will go down in history? Stupid!"
Listening to the party leader's scolding, several subordinates said with red faces, "You have an overall view, but others don't! Our people are helping the police to coordinate order, but the final credit goes to Benjamin and the others. Who can be convinced?" "
"We didn't say what we were going to do. Since they were already cursing, we didn't make any trouble. How about tearing down the thousands of people who helped maintain order? Why should we give him Benjamin help to gain face?"
"Do you really want to help him pass the test? You must know that without us, there will definitely be many mistakes in this diplomatic event that Benjamin is responsible for. Isn't this our opportunity!"
Gladstone shook his head and suddenly laughed. He whispered, "Keep watching the show. We have already slapped you in the face. There are still people behind who are preparing to take action. Benjamin will not be able to recover...hehehe!"
