C1053 dispute (2/2)
Drake, Na Erxun, Newton, Shakespeare... Innumerable heroes pushed Britain forward, seizing the opportunity of history and refusing to let go until it became the British Empire more than any other country in the world.
The people are loose, the people are selfish, and without the leadership of a hero, nothing will come of it.
Why is China so poor now? Because this is a China without heroes, everyone's heart is deluded by self-interest, they are constantly on the inside. At this moment, they were afraid that a hero would appear to gather the people. With such a large country with such a large population and economy, if they were mobilized, who in this world could contend against them?
Why doesn't Count de Beer understand this simple logic? Was he really old and muddle-headed?
No matter how Benjamin tried to explain, the stubborn Count de Beer was opposed to his opinion. From the beginning to the end, the Count de Beer didn't think Xiao Letian was any sort of hero, as Xiao Letian wasn't considered a hero in the eyes of the Count de Beer.
”Alright, Benjamin! In my eyes, Xiao Letian is just a mouse who is trying to take advantage of the strong. Look at what he is doing, he is just trying to become a prime minister on a broken island, and there are only twenty to thirty thousand soldiers. What do you think he can do? ”
No matter how much you think of him, Xiao Letian is still the Prime Minister of the Subordinate States. He hasn't managed to get into the upper echelons of the Qing Empire yet, and it is said that the Tanggu District is doing quite well, but they are too young.
”What a joke. Even the declining Netherlands and the small Duchies of Italy are not something that Xiao Letian can compare to. You are overthinking it … Let him properly go and give trouble to the Qing Dynasty's Emperor and Russian. As long as he is still fighting against the Russian, I feel that we should at least give him some support! ”
Benjamin was about to go crazy: ”Prime Minister, you can't view things like this! Although the Ryukyu is a Subordinate States of the Qing Empire, Xiao Letian has always been a Chinese.
”And China is a very practical people. They are very loyal to the imperial power on the surface, but they are also loyal to the imperial power. They are not loyal to a single emperor... Oh God! ”Why can't you understand what I mean?”
”Xiao Letian is very dangerous, he is way too dangerous, I think that everything he is doing now is just lying in wait, he is gathering energy, there will be a day when he will soar into the sky! When he shows his fangs, I'm afraid we won't be able to control him! ”
Benjamin gritted his teeth and even threatened in the end, ”Prime Minister, if you still ignore my suggestion this much … I want to see the queen alone, I want to be independent! ”
With a loud thud, Count de Beer placed his wine cup on the table, ”You want to meet the Queen? Are you going to bother the queen just for this? ”I've misjudged you. The position of Prime Minister is inappropriate for you. We need to pay more attention to the Empire. Why do you have to keep an eye on a small role in East Asia?”
”For a battleship like that? Well, I can authorize you to give the Navy an extra £2 million in research money, and we'll build a warship like that! Are you satisfied now? My Minister of Finance … ”
Benjamin was infuriated by Count de Beer's strange tone of voice, ”I really can't explain it, I must go and meet Her Majesty the Queen!”
Debbie stood up angrily and hit the floor with her cane. ”Okay, then let's go!” ”You're too impatient, seizing authority is not something you can do!”
