C2071 The Prime Ministers Prophecy (2/2)

Edward was dumbfounded, but this was not because of his admiration for the Prime Minister, but because of his shock at Benjamin's brazen fantasies.

”My God, you really should be writing a novel. Isn't there a writer named Jules Verne in France? ”Your imagination is so much stronger than his …”

Prince Sheng Shi naturally had a wave of pride that he was born with. Although he was smart, he couldn't understand Benjamin's pessimistic judgement at all due to the scene of how the British Empire was flourishing.

The Crown Prince laughed and waved his hand, ”My dear Prime Minister, all of this is just a fantasy. If you say that there's going to be a breakthrough in technology and a big explosion, then where is the direction? What system can replace what is now? ”

”I've been to the Royal Academy of Sciences many times, but someone said that oil would replace coal, and they insisted on experimenting with me on separation …” And guess what? A mass of stimulating gases sprayed out and a small explosion occurred right away! ”

”Oh, my God! If it wasn't for the small dosage, the whole laboratory would have been turned upside down … ”At that time, my guards were about to capture him. I was the one who stopped them …”

”I'm not trying to show you how merciful I am. I'm just using this example to prove to you that it's very difficult to achieve a breakthrough in technology. It's already good enough for those fantasies to have one of the hundred possibilities.”

”So far, coal and steam engines are still the fundamentals of the industrial system. What is crazy about electricity and oil? I'm afraid that I won't be able to form an industry within 200 years! ”

The Crown Prince was not an idiot. On the contrary, he had his own unique views on governance. His rebuttal of Benjamin made him difficult for the Prime Minister to deal with.

”Yes, I know that my guess is very bold, but you must be vigilant. This empire will sooner or later be yours. You must have this string in your heart!”

It's necessary to give the Prime Minister face. ”Well, I accept your advice... ”Alright, let's get straight to the point. Can you tell me your worries? The air here stinks!”

Benjamin looked at the Crown Prince helplessly and said, ”It's not impossible for me to make that kind of exaggerated prediction. It's right in front of us.

”If both of them join hands, the unique model I mentioned will definitely become a reality. Prussia doesn't need to follow our old route for military colonization. He only needs to form an alliance with the Chinese and then rely on them, the tigers in Asia, for further development …”

”Prussia's funds and technology will take root in Asia, and the models of the Tanggu will be replicated one by one. Prussia will instantly open up the market of the Great Qing, and they won't have to travel too far to do so!”

”They will produce and sell locally, and their ships will be sufficient to transport gold and silver currency! Even thinking about it is scary, what us British Empire can't do, once those two strong warriors join hands, we can do it! ”

”That's why I called you here today!”

Benjamin gritted his teeth and said, ”We can't allow this to happen. For the sake of the empire, Xiao Letian … He had to die! The Chinese must... Destroy! ”
