"If I, Xiao Letian, had not disappeared for fun, but still stood on the soil of East Asia and was in charge of all the overall situations, then the British would immediately change their strategy!"
"Because the British know very well that I, Xiao Letian, have prestige and the ability to unite the people. Once a war starts, the British will suffer heavy losses even if they win, and it will be very painful!"
"As I said just now, Benjamin and other radical British politicians are not gamblers, they are not gamblers, they are not addicted to gambling, especially not gambling on the national destiny!"
"Big Beard has said it a long time ago. There is actually no difference between Benjamin and Gladstone. They are just the leaders of two ideas in the UK!"
"Gladstone believed in free trade and focused more on domestic affairs, so he began to desperately build infrastructure and schools..."
"And Benjamin belongs to the conservative forces, deep colonialists. They are more concerned about controlling the colonies!"
"It is precisely because the two ideas are different that two groups of people, that is, two political forces, are brought together... Most of Gladstone's surroundings are in the light industry, such as the transmission textile industry, manufacturing, service industry, and luxury goods owners. They are these capitalists rolled into one!”
"And Benjamin's side is more of a combination of steel, military industry, shipbuilding...this type of capitalists who are biased towards war!"
"Think about it, the two groups have different business practices, so their attitudes towards war are completely different!"
"With Gladstone in office, we Chinese people can still negotiate peacefully with them, but it's just about how to divide the money for business, so it's relatively easy to solve!"
"But Benjamin can't. These people are born to expand colonies and are naturally warlike... Without war, those steel and arms cannot be consumed!"
"Without war, the shipbuilding industry would have no orders! So they must have war!"
"But the British know very well that the essence of war is to make money, not to vent emotions, and not to gamble! For every pound invested in the war, they will make ten in the end!"
"I, Xiao Letian, are in Asia, so they will become more careful about their investment in the war, because they have to calculate how much investment this war will make, how much output it will produce, and what the final outcome will be!"
"Benjamin is very smart! He understands very well how I have come here, and he also knows my appeal in Asia!"
"If I were in Asia, then he would never shoot first, and he would never take the initiative to provoke a war! Because he knows that I am here, it will be difficult for them to win!"
"We were the victorious party in the Franco-Prussian War! We Chinese are not synonymous with weakness in Europe, we are a strong country that defeated France!"
"Fat man, remember, I, Xiao Letian, teamed up with Prussia to defeat France, and I also defeated Tsarist Russia in the Far East!"
"Which military researcher in the world dares to underestimate me, Xiao Letian? Who dares to treat me, Xiao Letian, as a coward? I am in Asia, and he would not dare to fire the first shot of the British Great White Fleet!"
"With Benjamin's character, what will he do? Fatty, think about it..."
"Hehehe... I'm telling you! Benjamin will use another move, a move that I can't resist!"
"The British fleet is coming to Asia. It is said to be visiting the Qing Dynasty, or even North Korea or Fuso. What legal basis do we have to prevent them from coming?"
"No! We don't have any reason to stop them, we can only let them in... But what if they don't leave after they come in?"
"Benjamin can do it. They maintain such a powerful military force on the sea of East Asia that far exceeds ours. What if they directly form an alliance with Guiziliu?"
"How can we break the pressure on the governors of the country when Guizi Liu takes over the power of the British fleet? What choices do these governors of the Qing Dynasty have?"
"The British fleet is cruising back and forth on China's coastline to deter us, but it won't fire the first shot... How do you want me to solve the problem on the mainland at this time?"
"The British will stall for time and drag us to death until the Japanese regime is stabilized!"
"At that time, even if Zai Chun gives me an edict to abdicate, it will be of no use. However, Guiziliu has secured control of the country and has control of the underground governor's prefecture. That will be deeply entrenched!"
"If that's the case, all our plans will be ruined... There is only one way to solve the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future. Take the old path of dynasty change and overthrow it militarily!"
"But the basic base of our Chinese race is still Han! Once it becomes clear that we will go to war with the Manchus, it will be difficult for us to take back many areas!"
"Whose belongs to the Mongolian Plateau? How many Han people are there? Mongolia and the Manchus have a deep alliance. We are at war with the Manchus. Can they make peace with us?"
"What about the Western Region? Maybe it's better. After all, there is Zuo Jigao's border garrison. What about the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? What relationship does it have with us?"
"What about the three provinces outside the Pass? What is the population base of our Han people?"
"What about the southwest border? How to solve the minority issues? Do they all need to be solved one by one militarily? How many of our Chinese people will die? How much national power will be consumed?"
"The key is, while we are doing all these military wars, will the British watch? How could they allow us to overthrow the Manchus and establish a strong country?"
"How can it be?"
"There are also chain reactions! As long as there is a war, people will be killed. Once there is blood between nations...how will we rule these newly opened colonies?"
"Borneo, Luzon, Vietnam, Indochina...even North Korea and Fuso are watching!"
"Once we start a war, will they, the ethnic minorities, be afraid? Will they feel like a rabbit is dead and a fox is sad? Can they still accept our rule?"
"By then, if the British arm them a little, they will do it with us! By then there will be beacon fire everywhere, and we will be exhausted. How to solve it?"
"Do you really think that killing can solve everything? Only an idiot would say nonsense about killing them all, burning them all, and robbing them all!"
"In the global chess game, so many countries will allow the Chinese to engage in genocide? I'm afraid we will die the worst in the end!"
"This is not the Earth at the beginning of the Age of Discovery. The Spaniards were killing Indians in South America, and no country in the world even knew about it!"
"Nowadays, news spreads all over the world. Once there is a problem, the whole world will be in chaos within a few days! There is too much help for good reasons and little help for bad reasons!"
"Fat man, do you understand? Now you know why I disappeared? If I don't disappear and paralyze the British, I won't be able to lure the snake out of the hole. I won't be able to lure the second venomous snake out of the British!"
"When the time comes, Benjamin will use the tactics I just deduced to deal with my Chinese! We will suffer a big loss politically!"
"Only when I disappear will Benjamin and his group become arrogant enough to underestimate the enemy, and they will take the initiative to provoke and start a war..."
"To tell you the truth, if the British start the war early, we Chinese still have a 40% chance of winning... If the British delay the start of the war and choose to use political and diplomatic means to deal with us first!"
"That would be terrible. Our Chinese race will definitely be defeated!"
