No matter how deep the worries of Gladstone and Benjamin were, the empire had already made its choice!
Is this huge empire on which the sun never sets really monolithic? Xiao Letian doesn't think so.
On the carriage to Buckingham Palace, the head of state said to his subordinates with a relaxed expression, "Any enemy, especially a huge enemy, should look for a breakthrough from within them!"
"The British Empire is too big for any one person or force to control alone. Forty million people control colonies with a population of 500 million!"
"My friends, think about it carefully and use China's oldest wisdom to think about it. Is there no problem with this kind of governance foundation?"
"They can only rely on using barbarians to control barbarians. They don't even have enough people to develop new lands... so their empire must choose to borrow power and cooperate!"
"This is our historical opportunity. As a weak country, we should first cooperate with the strong, start working under the strong, and gradually reach the manager level. When our wings are really strong, we can then consider going solo. Fly!"
"In this world, especially non-European countries and nations, there is currently an extreme fear of Britain. They do not understand Britain, let alone its shortcomings and strengths... Of course, they cannot formulate countermeasures. !”
"But we are not afraid of the British. The reason why we are not afraid of them is that we understand our opponents. I know that the British will definitely agree to sell me the land, because they can only rely on other ethnic groups to develop the wilderness..."
"After the development is completed, they will take advantage of it!"
"The British think this game can go on forever, but I don't think so! How much experience have we accumulated in China's five thousand years of civilization?"
"When it comes to playing tricks and playing tricks, who is worse than us? No matter how difficult the current situation is, we can find more difficult times in history!"
"We know that you feel a little embarrassed that the money was not brought back to Asia, but this is nothing... Aren't the rights to use the 1.2 billion francs still in our hands?"
"Hasn't the right to purchase silver been given up? We can even purchase land in Western Australia... What is the attitude of us Chinese towards land? You don't know this!"
"It's nothing more than hiding one's capabilities and biding one's time. It's nothing more than lying on the job and tasting courage! In order to restore the country, you are even willing to eat feces. Do you still care about such a small humiliation?"
"Let Britain continue to be arrogant. They can't cover up the crisis in the prosperous age. They can't hide it at all! They can't hide it from others, and they can't hide it from my eyes!"
"As long as the land enters my mouth, there is no way I can spit it out again!"
Xiao Letian's words made the people on the carriage extremely excited. Xiang Ying's eyes turned blue. "Master, we want to control so much land, and it is all connected by sea channels. We need a big navy!"
"We want more warships, countless warships! Only in this way can we maintain the security of our seas!"
Xiao Letian shook his head, "I know what you want to say, but I still can't agree to your crazy ship-building plan... It doesn't mean that I don't need a big navy!"
"Rather, we must understand that the next thirty or forty years will be an era of technological explosion...humanity's technological level will skyrocket!"
"Any state-of-the-art warship is already outdated from the moment it is launched. It is not that we cannot fight an arms race, but we must be cautious!"
"Child... maybe in the future justice will not be within the range of naval guns, but may be in the sky!"
"Master, do you want to vigorously develop the airship force? Bomb the enemy from the sky?" Xiang Ying's eyes suddenly changed from blue to red.
"Hahaha... It's useless to say anything now. I can only tell you one thing. In the future, the weapons that will dominate the sky will be more terrifying than airships!"
"And this kind of weapon will completely end the era of big ships and big guns! Whoever can seize the power of that era and get on board first will be able to overturn the British banquet table!"
"Now, let us taste the delicacies of Buckingham Palace again! Give me thirty years, and I will lead you to overturn the British table!"
The murderous words made the horses shuddering and foaming in uneasiness.
Buckingham Palace is getting closer and closer, and the dragon guards are hanging outside the carriage to protect the safety vigilantly. No one can eavesdrop on the speech of the head of state.
"Time is running out. I must emphasize to you one last time before the banquet. The British government is mainly composed of three groups of people. There are different ways to deal with different people..."
"The first category is the royal family and the nobles they lead. This group has controlled Britain for thousands of years. It is not only the British elite, but also the cultural symbol of this country!"
"For this type of people, we must firmly grasp the core of the queen, satisfy their vanity, and give them the pleasure of being superior!"
"This is the most arrogant group among the upper class in the UK, but relatively speaking it is relatively easy to deal with!"
"Haha, a group of potential hemophilia patients is nothing to worry about!"
"The second group of people are the big capitalists. This huge group is not easy to deal with. This time the UK is attacking us over gold, this group is behind it!"
"There is no good way to deal with them. The only way is to seduce them with benefits. This is the only way!"
"So, we must avoid the British's voice of making money, especially in the area of ocean trade, and even in the textile industry, we must try to avoid competing with them!"
"At the same time, we must provide certain preferential policies to these British capitalists in our Chinese ports. Only by doing so can we stabilize the hearts of these people!"
"The third group, which I am most worried about, is the unique elite politicians in the UK!"
"Damn, people like Gladstone and Benjamin are so weird. They have noble titles but they are not big, and they don't have the bad habits of nobles!"
"They have their own business, and they can be considered capitalists, but they are not so mercenary... These people just read too much and have become a little detached!"
"I really think of myself as a beacon of hope for the empire! But these people are difficult to deal with. They are like copper peas if they don't get enough oil and salt!"
"But don't worry, these people are extremely smart, but they also have weaknesses!"
"What is the weakness? That is a common problem among all smart people, that is, scholars look down on each other! They look down on each other and are not united!"
"You have to know that these people who play with ideas have the worst tempers. They are all smart people and they don't obey anyone! Gradually, factions appear!"
"Conflicting interests, conflicting ideas, coupled with the tendency to be self-centered... this will cause them to have internal conflicts!"
"From now on, when dealing with these elite politicians in Europe, we must learn to restrain their hands, fan the flames back and forth, and let them focus all their energy on internal fighting!"
“Here are my three different strategies for targeting the British elite!”
At this point, the gate of Buckingham Palace was approaching. Just when Xiao Letian was about to end the small meeting, his apprentice Xiang Ying suddenly spoke.
"Master, I think I can add a little more!"
