"My heart is bright, so what else can I say? My heart is bright, so what's the point of fear? My heart is bright, so what's the point of worrying? Hey... this is the foundation of the old empire!"
On the beach of Savage Island, Xiao Letian was wearing beach pants and shirtless, basking in the sun. On the beach table were countless pieces of information that had just been sent, forwarded from Wanlun.
The world has undergone tremendous changes because of Xiao Letian's disappearance. The mysterious disappearance of a rising political star in East Asia has stimulated countless forces to prepare for action in advance.
Benjamin's self-confidence has increased by another three points. His big bet on Asia can be said to be regardless of the cost, and he has bought all the new warships he can afford.
Perhaps no country in the world can resist such a heavy blow in Benjamin's heart!
Yixin, who had just rebelled and came to power in the Qing Dynasty, was balancing multiple political forces. He did not continue to launch a powerful offensive against Zaichun, but began to prepare for the Qing Noble Council.
Nowadays, the big shots within the Eight Banners in Sijiu City gather at the Ancestral Temple every day and start heated arguments in front of their ancestors. Sometimes they will yell at each other over trivial matters such as the number of clerks in place.
Yi Xin didn't say much. He just asked them to discuss and come up with a statement that was acceptable to all parties. This aristocratic council was engaged in the Eight Banners style of deliberation, and some seats would have to be given to the Han people.
These people must come up with a solution to figure out how to do it!
What can those dandy boys from the Eight Banners come up with? To say that they are politicians is to look down upon them and to flatter them. They are just a bunch of officialdom rats who only know how to get benefits!
Fighting and quarreling every day, but Yi Xin just watched... The rest of the time was spent sending telegrams to governors across the country and sending direct relatives to have secret talks.
Yi Xin is very shrewd. He knows very well that if he wants to be stable now, he ultimately depends on Britain's battle. As long as Britain wins, no one can shake his throne!
It's ridiculous, Yi Xin accepted Weng Tonghe's suggestion, but to this day has not proposed holding a coronation ceremony! Instead, he sits in the Forbidden City and works!
When you get tired of working, you vent your anger on Zaichun’s wives!
Zai Chun in the industrial zone has been picked up by the cavalry outside the customs. His illness is getting worse and worse, and there are more and more red rashes on his body. At this moment, Chengde is the only place suitable for cultivation.
Jiangnan is also in chaos now. The main force of Xiang Ying's navy has entered the Yangtze River Basin, battleships are threatening Jinling, cruisers are approaching Wuhan, and all Chinese industrial zones along the river are boiling.
The Chinese army and the Workers' Self-Defense Force were also on alert, and the warm air of the south of the Yangtze River was filled with the breath of gold and iron.
The more Xiao Letian watched, the more silent he became. He fell into deep thinking. Sometimes Jin Sanshun secretly tried to persuade the head of state.
"The head of state...it's too chaotic...let's go back! They can't withstand the British fleet without you!"
Xiao Letian looked at the sea with a helpless smile and said, "Do you think I can defeat Britain when I go back? You are too naive. The navy is a service that cannot take advantage of, especially in this era. If you can defeat ten forces with one force, the size of the British fleet is not We can resist!"
"Take a look... Fangguan and the others have sent the latest information... Even my friends in London have sent some top-secret information!"
"Don't be timid, just watch if you are asked... Anyway, you can't go anywhere on this savage island now. Even if you are really someone's spy, you can't send out information!"
Fatty Jin scratched his head in embarrassment after hearing the Führer's joke, and swatted a big mosquito on his neck to death.
The European intelligence was shocking to Fatty, especially after seeing the detailed data of the British Great White Fleet, Fatty's hands were shaking a little.
"Twelve ships? They are all over 7,000 tons, and even over 8,000 tons... There are so many cruisers... Can Xiang Ying withstand it?"
Xiao Letian sighed softly, "I can't stand it. Even if I were to preside over this battle, I still wouldn't be able to stand it... The difference in total tonnage and total firepower is too big!"
"There is another key issue. The overall quality of the British navy is higher than ours... Xiang Ying has faced second-rate navies such as France and Tsarist Russia before. Whether it is the ability of the commander or the quality of the sailors, they are far behind the British. too much!"
"If nothing else, as long as the British fleet does not divide its forces and always stays together, our fleet will definitely lose no matter how it fights!"
"Even if you push me up and tie me to the barrel of a cannon, it won't work!"
"I can't go back without a complete solution... If I come back to Asia and show up now, the result will only be one, making the British more careful!"
"Not only do these old foxes not know how to divide their forces, they even mobilize more warships to come to Asia... Maybe they don't have the latest warships anymore, but they still have many old ironclads before the Zhiyuan style!"
"Those battleships are also very objective as auxiliary combat forces!"
"My appearance can only force the British to increase their troops cautiously. By then we will be unable to win... Maybe if I hide, I can get a British person to be careless..."
"Damn it... I obviously have some hope... but I still can't catch it... Damn it!"
This is the first time that Jin Sanshun has seen the head of state so agitated. Ever since he met the head of state, this god-like man has always been confident!
This is the backer of the entire Chinese race and even the entire Asia. No one has ever seen him confused and weak, but today Xiao Letian seems to be much older.
How could Xiao Letian not be confused and confused? Today, he has almost used up his time traveler bonus. If you look closely at his step-by-step success, you will see that it is basically based on his advance prediction of history.
The Austro-Prussian War, the Franco-Prussian War, new era battleship design ideas, new technological breakthroughs... He reaped the dividends because he knew the direction of history and made bets in the right direction in advance.
But now that there is no historical experience, the technical level of British ironclads has also been raised, and the technical gap between the Chinese navy has disappeared.
There is not even a numerical advantage, and the Chinese rear is still based on the unreliable Manchu Qing Dynasty. Yixin will definitely stab him in the back when the time comes.
Even the bearded man and the second fiddler in London were helpless. The coded message they sent did not give any clear hint at all. The bearded man just said vaguely that this was a civilized war and let himself think in a broad sense!
All right! Let me think about it! I will meditate in this savage island!
But time waits for no one. The British fleet will definitely set off in June. It will arrive in Asia in three months. At the end of the year, the Chinese will face this big test!
"Hey...this is not a problem that I can solve with just one word!"
"Fat man...I am the supporter of the Chinese people...but if one day, the Chinese people don't have me as their supporter...do you think the Chinese people can still survive?"
"Chinese people always have to wean themselves!"
