Xiao Letian's decision shocked all of the high officials in the Hua Clan. No one present was a fool, especially the high officials, who understood the Patriarch's plan directly or indirectly.
Emperor Tongzhi was the key to Xiao Letian's plan to take over the Great Qing. Controlling him was equivalent to obtaining the permit to infiltrate the into the Qing Dynasty in the future.
Whether it was the Industrial Zones that was like a fort or the metal net that connected all the fort's walls, Zai Chun had to personally issue an order for them to be able to do this.
After all, the Chinese had not eaten the Qing Dynasty's strength yet, and if the ants wanted to eat the elephants, they would have to do so bit by bit. In the end, the Chinese would still have to receive the edict from the highest ruler of the Qing Dynasty.
This was Xiao Letian's big plan, and the entire plan definitely could not leave Zai Chun's side. Thus, controlling Zai Chun was the core of the missions.
But today, even Wang Huaiyuan was shocked, they did not expect Xiao Letian to actually agree to the British plan and allow Zai Chun to escape their control.
The eyes of Sima Yun, Luo Huo and the rest almost became swollen. But Xiao Letian acted as if he did not see them, and continued to chat with Duke of Newcastle and Zai Chun, and even talked about the foggy weather in London.
Xiang Ying was the first to lose his cool, he pulled Director Wang to the side and whispered, ”Director Wang! They couldn't let Tongzhi emperor move alone! The Führer has to get tough. If it doesn't work out, we'll stop the visit and threaten Britain to immediately interrupt the visit. ”
”We'll head north straight to the hamburger! If we go into the Elbe River, I don't believe that they, the British, would not want the honor of Eastern and Western King level diplomacy for the first time! ”
Wang Huaiyuan shook his head: ”Calm down, I'll listen to the leader! He must have a reason for doing that... ”
”What makes sense? Once Zai Chun breaks free from our control, who knows what kind of agreement he will reach with Britain? Let's not talk about anything else. Will he give it to the British for future railway projects in Beijing to Jiangnan? ”
”My Director Wang! ”Whose hands the railway is in, it is not only about money, but also about national security, not to be indulged!”
”Zai Chun doesn't have the ability to rule the country, but if he is selling out, none of us have conditions like his!”
”Enough!” Wang Huaiyuan shouted in a low voice: ”What do you want me to do? Arguing with the Führer in front of the British? Don't you think the Führer knows? ”You're underestimating your master …”
”F * ck …” Xiang Ying was so angry that he kicked the main cannon's protective deck, causing his big toe to almost break from the pain.
On the surface, Zai Chun looked like he was chatting happily with Duke and his master, but he was also observing his surroundings from the corner of his eyes, so he obviously saw the unfriendly gazes from the people around, especially Xiang Ying's group of young and strong naval officer.
Tongzhi sighed in his heart. Even if he was looking at him, it would be useless.
Just as he was speaking, Da Sixi, who was standing beside the little emperor, said in a low voice, ”Your Majesty … Among your entourage, do you want to bring Liu Dadao? ”
On this trip of Zai Chun's, there weren't many servants waiting by his side. The four eunuchs and twelve guards made up all of Zai Chun's direct descendants.
The number of people was a little less, as if they didn't deserve the status of the Great Qing Emperor. When they felt that the Forbidden City seemed to be devoid of people, they felt that it wasn't so.
There were still a lot of servants by Zai Chun's side. The four great eunuchs and four great guards were led by him, and there was a huge group of more than a hundred eunuchs and guards below.
