There are no words to describe the anger of Benjamin at this moment. He is an old politician in his fifties and has very rich political experience. The British Prime Minister Melbourne who launched the first Opium War and the Foreign Minister Palmerston can be said to be his teachers.
When the Civil War was going on in North America, Benjamin also firmly stood on the southern side and tried his best to give the south favorable support.
This is a fanatical colonialist who is filled with the desire to control the whole world. He is also very conservative in his thinking and even has a good impression of the slavery system.
This kind of person is a complete war madman, who likes to use military means to resolve disputes once and for all. If the British political system was not stable and the Queen had great power, God knows what would happen to this kind of political madman.
Why was Gladstone able to find supporters in Parliament to oppose him? It has something to do with Benjamin's character who values diplomacy and despises domestic affairs.
Damn it, all the limited funds were used to expand the colonies, and domestic investment was repeatedly reduced. It is not an exaggeration to say that the people are in dire straits. Look at Ireland, there are definitely evils caused by these colonialists.
How could such a person swallow such a breath? He would definitely pay back the humiliation Xiao Letian gave him a thousand times.
Montauban looked at the crazy and angry Prime Minister, and felt panic in his heart. In this era, people have a natural fear of Britain, let alone the Prime Minister of a country.
"Prime Minister... I... I have to remind you that no matter how despicable Xiao Letian is, he has gained the Queen's favor. We have to admit that this guy is a genius at flattering!"
One sentence was like a needle pricking a balloon. Benjamin's anger suddenly vented, and he swayed and sat softly on the sofa.
"Give me... pour me a glass of wine!" Benjamin said weakly.
Montauban quickly poured the Prime Minister a glass of soothing gin, and then added two large pieces of disease. A chill went into his throat, and the Prime Minister finally calmed down.
"Yes, you are right. Xiao Letian is indeed a genius. Although he is my enemy, we have to admit that he is really capable!"
"Who in the world would think of using a dead prince as a fulcrum to pry open the queen's emotional floodgates? Even if someone thought about it, who would dare?"
"The queen refuses to forgive even her own son for the death of her husband. Who else in Europe dares to make a fuss about this matter? But Xiao Letian dares to do it. Not only did he dare, but he also succeeded?"
"What does this mean? This shows that Xiao Letian has a terrifying insight into people's emotions. He can discover some details that we cannot detect at all..."
"I figured it out just now on the carriage. The prince has been dead for eight years, a whole eight years! What can a person hold a grudge against for eight years? What's more, it's his own son..."
"I just learned today that the Queen has actually forgiven the Crown Prince a long time ago. She has already walked through the river of sorrow. However, it is precisely because of face problems or some inexplicable emotions that the Queen cannot admit her emotional changes..."
"At this time, as long as someone is brave enough to help the Queen to build this step, she will think that she will come down the slope. This should be a natural thing... Why didn't I find out? Why didn't I find out about the Queen's emotions in eight years? Variety?"
Many things are not made clear, and if you don’t understand the principles behind them, you will feel very mysterious.
But sometimes, after things are clarified to you and you know the rules of operation, you will feel more mysterious and frightened.
Montauban felt this way at the moment. He already understood what Xiao Letian's final gift-giving routine was, but the more he understood, the more afraid he became.
Anyone can play hindsight, but hindsight is useless. Xiao Letian was the first to pick the peach, so he is the first person. No matter who wants to play the prince's card after that, it will be useless. The Queen's favor is gone. Xiao Letian took them all away.
But it is not easy for the first person to eat crabs. It requires great courage, patience and skills. Who dares to do it unless he has thoroughly studied crabs.
Xiao Letian's seemingly bold action, which seemed to almost anger the Queen, was actually based entirely on precise analysis. He would never dare to take action without full certainty.
From this point of view, Xiao Letian is too scary!
The two were silent for a moment, and Benjamin whispered, "The previous plans have to be scrapped. Who can physically kill a friend of the Queen? No one in the UK dares to do so!"
"All assassination plans have been scrapped, and plans to fake pirate attacks on the high seas have also been cancelled... I can't bury our political lives with Xiao Letian's life!"
Montauban's face suddenly turned bitter. "Prime Minister, please don't forget your promise. I have staked all my reputation to help you. I believe that tomorrow the newspapers will write me as a stupid pig. All my reputation You’ve invested everything in, you can’t fail!”
"Don't worry, since I promised, I will definitely do it. If one day there is a war between you and Prussia, my British intelligence will be shared with you as soon as possible!"
"And I can guarantee that you will get all the information about Xiao Letian as soon as possible... Haha, although I can't kill him, you French can!"
"As long as his blood is not left on British soil, that's fine!"
At this point, Benjamin asked, "You're not right, are you? You are considered a high-ranking French aristocrat. If you let your ambassador exert some influence, can European newspapers not give you face?"
"It's just a small conflict, how can it really discredit you?"
"Oh, my Prime Minister!" Montauban slapped his thigh. "You can ask your subordinates yourself. Sir Gordon is outside, and it was he who told me the news!"
There are many British officials waiting at the Downing Street residence at this moment. They are all direct descendants of Benjamin. They are eager to know the next task, so no one goes home to rest.
Sir Gordon, who had been an admiral in China, walked in immediately after hearing the call. When Benjamin asked him, Gordon frowned and said.
"Yes, Xiao Letian is indeed playing tricks!"
Then Gordon recounted the Chinese gold coins he accidentally saw in detail.
"All the reporters who participated in the interview received bribes from Xiao Letian, and they were given in the name of travel expenses. I have also thought about this matter. It is very difficult to handle!"
"It is difficult to count this gold coin as a bribe, especially if it is a commemorative gold coin with collectible significance, it is even more difficult to define..."
