C2012 Liberal Party Leader Gladstone (1/2)
”My God! Benjamin and you actually reached a private agreement? ” Ou Renni could not help but be shocked when she heard this news, it was truly a pleasant surprise.
Prime Minister Benjamin was not interested in Prussia and the Chinese. This was not news, the diplomatic community from various countries in Europe could find out about this.
Maybe, in Benjamin's heart, his previous Prime Minister, the Count de Beer, had given too much preferential treatment to Bismark and the jumping Xiao Letian.
Back then, when Xiao Letian led his troops and kicked the Poo War, Benjamin was extremely furious. Especially he didn't understand why the Count de Beer let Xiao Letian go in the end.
Benjamin kept guessing but there was no answer. In the end, he could only blame it all on the old and muddle-headed Count de Beer.
The strategy of helping a rising power in Asia against Russia is not wrong, but the choice of a spokesman is crucial.
Xiao Letian, a newly emerged pseudo-Western Master, had brought several hundred soldiers and dared to participate in the battle of hegemony against the continental Europe.
How could a madman cooperate?
After that, Xiao Letian's various actions in Asia proved Benjamin's judgement. He led his troops and attacked the Beijing, demonstrated the martial arts at the Supreme Harmony Hall, and even kidnapped Tongzhi …
Furthermore, his attitude towards the French made Benjamin very worried. He was sure that Xiao Letian was a wild horse that could not be tamed, it was definitely a mistake for Prime Minister De Bi to pick a role to fight against Sha Russia.
What happened in the end? Xiao Letian was not resisting the expansion of the power of the Sha Russian, he had directly chopped off the hand that the Sha Russian was reaching towards the Far East.
How tyrannical, how bloody, how arrogant! No matter how bad the Russia is, it is still a European country, how can the Asian countries trample on it.
It was a pity that the Count de Beer had died of illness, so Benjamin could not find him for an argument. Furthermore, Xiao Letian had kidnapped the Tongzhi Emperor, and the Queen was very concerned about the Emperor of China.
As a result, Benjamin had no way to let go and deal with Xiao Letian. Just when he was angry, Napoleon III threw over a probing olive branch. Although the two sides had differences on many aspects, they had the same interests in fighting against Xiao Letian.
Napoleon said proudly as he placed both his hands on his chest, ”Benjamin's views on the continent are very much in line with mine. He also thinks that Prussia has risen up a little too quickly, we don't want to eliminate Prussia, but Prussia always extravagantly hopes to unify the entire German-speaking region. This is something we don't want to see!”
”And Xiao Letian, he's the same as Prussia, the reason he created the Chinese people was because he wanted to unite the Chinese cultural circle. This is an act of a wild man, he has to be restrained!”
”Therefore, Benjamin promised me that in the event of a war, he would give us the necessary information and allow our warships to seal off Prussia's territorial waters …”
”As long as the British do not take sides, who can defeat our France? ”Hahaha …”
Queen Ou Renni looked at her husband who was laughing arrogantly, and suddenly asked: ”Since that's the case, why did you drink absinthe to relieve the pressure just now? Why do you still say that Britain is Xiao Letian's backer? ”
”I think you are hallucinating after drinking too much!”
The confidence Napoleon III had just gained completely drained his wife of all this confidence. He said with a bitter face, ”Aiya … Listen to what I have to say, after all... After all, Benjamin had a political enemy! I'm worried about his political enemies! ”
Ou Renni's eyes lit up when she heard him. ”You mean him?”
London, England.
