C301 The calculation of the Queen Victoria (1/2)

Xiao Letian had never thought that his negotiation with Bismark would end in such a peaceful state. Other than the fact that Bismark's probing of him at the beginning made him feel pressured, the Iron Blood Prime Minister was more like a naughty old man, completely different from what was rumored.

Looking at the carriage that was getting further and further away from Bismark, Xiao Letian felt like he had punched a cotton bag. Before meeting Bismark, he had fantasized about countless different kinds of scenes where he could fight against the Iron Blood Prime Minister, and in his heart, he felt that Bismark was a person even more difficult to deal with than Ceng Guofan. No, no, no, a politician with such influence like him could already be called a great man.

This pressure was not something an ordinary person could imagine. In his previous life, when Xiao Letian ran into a government official that was a level higher than him, he was able to make people shiver in fear, and then he looked at the other government officials on the television, which gave off a powerful pressure. That pressure was not something a normal person could withstand.

Even ordinary political figures would find it hard to deal with them, not to mention a famous person in history. Xiao Letian was even mentally prepared for a complete defeat. He was not sure whether the Traveller's Halo and the Great Person's Halo were stronger or weaker.

However, reality played a big joke on Xiao Letian. After Bismark played a prank on him and confused him, they started to negotiate.

Rather than say that this was a confrontation between the Eastern and Western Prime Ministers, it would be more accurate to say that it was the support of a senior to a junior. Xiao Letian could not help but nod when he heard the theory regarding the relationship between heroes and the natives. In the end, even Xiao Letian's wife was convinced, he was truly a kind elder.

But no one knew that after the small carriage left the garden, the smile on Bismark's face gradually froze. Not long later, he took out a notebook from the secret compartment of the carriage and started to record down the meeting.

”Xiao Letian, this is a rising star with great potential in eastern politics. His vision is sharp, his knowledge is vast, and he has great courage … It's a pity that he's still too young, and his control over his emotions is far from mature … ”

”As a politician, you shouldn't easily reveal your weakness. Family, comrades, colleagues... All kinds of social relations, it is very easy for enemies to catch hold of your weakness, successful politicians should be cold-blooded, but it is a pity that Xiao Letian isn't cold-blooded enough … ”

”Although I personally am very regretful towards Xiao Letian, but a weak Eastern politician is beneficial to Prussia's national interests. This is the foundation for our long-term cooperation with the Chinese …”

Xiao Letian never thought that when he was celebrating the success of the negotiations with his subordinate army officials, Bismark would already begin to test him in great detail. This information would be kept in the Prussian secret archives for a long time. Even if Bismark died, his successor would be able to receive guidance from him.

On the surface, it looked like Xiao Letian was showing weakness, but it was precisely because of this weakness that Xiao Letian was able to gain blessings from his mistakes.

At this time, Xiao Letian's power was still far from being powerful, when facing the strong and strong in the west, he was as weak as a baby. Let alone a powerful country like the English and French, even if it was a declining European country like the Netherlands or the Portugal, it would still be easy to deal with him.

The modern navy did not have a single warship, and the army only had a little more than a thousand people. To call him a baby was already a bit of a compliment. Right now, Xiao Letian's power could only be said to be in the embryonic stage.

Bismark's probing this time was not only for him to see, his analysis would be sent to the His Majesty the King as soon as possible, and in less than three days, all the top members of the Habsburg family in Europe would have obtained this information, other than France.

England, Spain, the Duchy of Italy, the Crown of the Netherlands... These big shots who were actually controlling Europe would all be able to see Bismark's analysis, and Iron Blood Prime Minister's judgement, was something even he himself would praise greatly.

With Bismark's endorsement, Xiao Letian would become the ”flawed politician” in the eyes of these big figures. It was because of this flaw that Xiao Letian was able to control it well, or perhaps even win against it. No one would ever be worried that Xiao Letian would one day evolve into a fierce Lion Tiger that would damage the Europeans' global interests.

As expected, three days later, when the Queen Victoria of Buckingham Palace saw the private message her cousin sent him along with the information, the European grandmother finally smiled. She even caressed the back of her eldest daughter's hand as she teased him.

”Your husband was a bit too cautious. He actually thought of Xiao Letian as a dangerous person that could threaten Europe … ”Ha ha ha, you should take a look at this information …”

Sitting next to Elizabeth was Grand Princess Louis. She was a white-haired beauty dressed in luxurious clothing who was a little baby fat. She was currently living with her son on holiday in Britain. The weather in Berlin was still a little unsuitable for her.

After Louis finished reading Bismark's analysis, he covered his mouth and chuckled lightly, ”Hehehe …” Karl had fought in the war for too long, his mind was filled with all sorts of dangerous schemes, in his eyes, everyone was a dangerous person. How could a small island nation of the Ryukyu, and a political structure from the Middle Ages, pose a threat to Europe? ”

Queen Victoria also laughed, ”Maybe, but you have to know, China is very rich, even until now I am not sure that the wealth owned by the United Kingdom has already surpassed that of China … ”Which country is too big? The area is even larger than Europe …”

At this time, a teenager who was reading next to Princess Louis spoke up, ”Oh, Grandmother, you're not right. The area of the Tsar Russia to the north is much larger than China, so China can only be considered second place!”
