It turned out that all Yi Xin's patience was just delaying for three months, because his biggest ally, the British fleet of Benjamin, needed time to prepare for war.
It was May at this time, and the British fleet was being assembled. It would take at least three months to reach Asia after setting off in June, and by then it would be September.
According to Yixin and Benjamin's plan, the war will end within three or four months. In January next year, Britain and Yixin will step on the corpses of the Chinese to reach the pinnacle of Asia!
At that moment, the Eight Banners bandit group will form an indestructible strategic alliance with the Anglo-Saxon bandit group, and the two major groups will jointly divide the wealth of East Asia!
Perhaps in future cooperation, the two parties will have frictions and conflicts due to some commercial conflicts, but the keynote of this major cooperation must be completed in Yixin's hands.
After the two major bandit groups complete the integration, East Asia, especially the integrated Han group in the Qing Dynasty, will completely become slaves!
"No, no, no... we can't say the word slave anymore. It's too uncivilized!"
"We can say exploitation... Yes, Europeans are smart, they call this surplus value!"
"As long as we join forces, the surplus value created by hundreds of millions of people in East Asia will always be ours, and we can eat it for ten thousand years!"
"Hahaha... This is the way out that I, Yixin, have found for the Qing Dynasty! Brand new hard-core crops!"
Yi Pei and Li Tuo were both dumbfounded. They knew that Yi Xin was hooking up with the British, but they never expected that the hookup would reach such an extent. The title of "Japanese Six Devils Six" is well deserved!
In the past, people in the capital used to refer to Guiziliu in a derogatory sense, but today in the hearts of Li Tuo and others, the three words Guiziliu are really shining with golden light!
This Yixin really knows how to deal with foreign affairs, especially after having fought with Xiao Letian for so many years, he has gradually understood how to deal with foreigners.
On the surface, Guiziliu wants to organize the Eight Banners Noble Council. In fact, it is understood internally that if they want to live a better life in the future, they must connect with the elite group within the foreigners.
He even realized how to connect with capitalist forces and extract surplus value!
Yi Xin excitedly turned back and forth in the hall, "Don't look at the size of Xiao Letian's plate now! Our plate will be bigger than Xiao Letian's in the future!"
"Once the British Armada comes to Asia, we will cooperate with the British in declaring war on the Chinese. The British will fight decisively at sea, and we will eradicate the Chinese industrial areas one by one. Don't think they are very powerful. As long as there is no naval support, these industries will be destroyed." The whole district is full of lambs for the slaughter!”
"Do you still remember the fighting style of the Tseng brothers? Isn't it just fighting a stupid war with a stronghold? The Chinese are very powerful with foreign guns and cannons. We can build earth walls, or even dig earth and build mountains to surround them!"
"Drag them to death, starve them to death... By then, won't everything built by the Chinese belong to us?"
"The wealth that Xiao Letian has accumulated over the years, industrial productivity, science and technology... and so many people, are all shared between us and the British!"
"When the war is over and we reach an alliance with Britain, we will naturally be able to build a better industrial zone, and we will also build a better navy!"
"The warships that Zai Chun is currently producing at the British shipyard will be transferred to our name, and when we have money, we will buy them too!"
"There is no way I can buy a navy that is the best in Asia. By then I will no longer be closed off to the country!"
"Fuso, Korea, Luzon, Borneo, Annan...these Chinese colonies will also be ours by then. They are all wealth. Won't the economic crisis of our Qing Dynasty be solved?"
"I don't have any big ideals. Can we extend the life of the Qing Dynasty for another two hundred years? Can anyone tell me?"
"Long live the Holy Ming!" What else could Yi Pei and Li Tuo say? They quickly kowtowed and shouted long live!
Yi Xin said proudly, "So now we have to endure it... paralyze the enemy first, and we will pretend to be grandsons in these few months..."
"Let Yingying contact the Ninth Commander first, grant him a Marquis first, and invite him to come to the capital to slowly discuss the matter of this noble council. Can't we give him a seat in the Hunan Army?"
"Four months have passed in a flash. It is estimated that when the British fleet arrives, our parliament will only hold one or two meetings!"
"Let's stop talking to all parties and give them room to bargain... But in the process of bargaining, time will pass!"
In the cold wind, Li Tuo and Yi Pei left the Forbidden City. Their backs were cold, and their clothes were soaked with cold sweat. In the dark corner of the Palace of Supreme Harmony Square, Yi Pei asked in a low voice, "Li Tuo, what do you mean, Lao Liu?" Will this plan work?"
"If it works, can our plan still work?"
Li Tuo also wiped his hands with cold sweat, "Brilliant! This strategy is so brilliant! If the British really use all their strength to pull up the invincible navy, it will be really difficult for the Chinese to win!"
"After all, Britain is an established power. Its navy has been developed for hundreds of years. How long have the Chinese been here? In addition, Xiao Letian's life and death are still unknown..."
"According to what you say, we will never have a chance?" Yi Pei asked in panic.
"Well..." Li Tuo lowered his voice even more and said, "Now I only see two flaws... The first is whether Xiao Letian will come back, and the second... that is whether the British are really that reliable. !”
"Britain is a pirate family...Is it credible to form an alliance with such a person? Or is it credible in the future?"
This question is like the ghosts that have been wandering in the Forbidden City for hundreds of years. No one can explain it clearly, but everyone knows in their heart that there must be a ghost!
It is daytime in the distant UK at this moment. In the dry dock of the Royal Dockyard in Portsmouth, countless workers are busy building a new Zhiyuan-class battleship!
All the dry docks are full, and the steel behemoths are slowly taking shape!
In a dry dock in the far corner, workers were temporarily invited out to drink coffee, and a small group of mysterious and noble guests arrived temporarily.
Prime Minister Benjamin, along with several confidants and several high-ranking nobles, were sizing up the 7,000-ton battleship in front of him. A shining golden dragon had been riveted on the bow of the ship.
"This is the first battleship to be completed among the battleships ordered by Emperor Tongzhi... The last coat of paint is being sprayed now... In three days, it can be launched into the water for debugging of weapons and equipment..."
"The Qing Dynasty named it Huanglong..." the captain of the shipyard introduced this batch with a smile.
Benjamin's thin body is topped by a huge top hat, and his aquiline nose makes his face even more unruly!
"I believe in the technical level of the Royal Shipyard... After it was launched, it was immediately taken over by the Navy for training... We requisitioned this Huanglong..."
"All the battleships ordered by Emperor Tongzhi... will be added to our global cruise fleet..."
"Well...last coat of paint, please spit it out white...because this fleet, I just decided...to name!"
"The Great White Fleet!"
