C2087 Thief stealing Zai Chun (1/2)
”Long live the Queen! Long live England! Long live the people! Ai Xinjueluozaichun dared to say those words? ”Is his skin thicker than the city walls despite his young age?”
King Yi also nodded his head, ”You are shameless enough. You are the emperor of Great Qing after all, yet you do not care about your status? Are you really so shameless as to flatter me? ”
Hearing King Yi's sarcasm, Xiao Letian's face turned red and then white. In the end, he hurriedly stopped his brother from speaking, ”Enough, don't say anymore. I didn't mean it that way …”
Speaking to here, Xiao Letian said in embarrassment, ”Actually... Actually, the speech is mine... I was prepared to say it tomorrow, but I didn't expect that Zai Chun, that little bastard, would steal it … ”
”What?” Everyone in the restaurant cried out in alarm, as they were all dumbstruck. The bone dregs ball on the fork in Jin Sanshun's hand actually tumbled to the ground due to the shaking of his hand.
King Yi's eyes opened wider than an egg. ”You?” You're … ”This …”
Xiao Letian also felt embarrassed, he did not want to tell everyone about this speech in advance, because if he told them he was flattering the British, there would definitely be people who would object.
To this day, the Chinese people were very proud. Even in the face of the world's strongest nation, Britain, these young people were still unwilling to admit defeat.
If Xiao Letian's speech was exposed in advance, then he would definitely have met with strong objections. The Chinese people were too arrogant, as the leader of the Chinese people, how could he be so shameless as to flatter?
However, Xiao Letian was not a person of this era, he had experienced the kind of era where everyone thought they were stupid and humorous when they saw the big bang online. To tell the truth, the young people who were used to the internet era all had some characteristics of a twitchy face and valued profit but not fame.
How much is a catty? Solving the real problem was the real thing.
Furthermore, in this era, there were many people who flattered Britain. Even the Prussian Iron Blood Prime Minister did not listen to them, and on many occasions, they even expressed to Britain that Prussia would definitely not develop a great navy and wished the Queen a long life.
This was what Bismark was smart for. He knew what he should do, in the three wars of Prussia's unification, Britain had never held Prussia back or fought against him.
Even if Prussia had historically gone to Paris, Britain remained neutral and completely ignored Prussia's advances. There were not only strategic considerations, there was also the contribution of Bismark's mature and experienced deceptive tactics.
It was because Bismark had assured Britain more than once that Prussia would not develop a large-scale navy that he had won the opportunity to rise. Otherwise, Prussia would not be able to unite the German Federation.
It was a pity that Prince Karl's son, who was also the future William II, was unable to grasp Bismark's superb diplomatic skills and directly overturned all the policies of the old prime minister, starting to form the deep blue navy.
It was at that time that a deep rift appeared in the England that he and his cousin ruled, until the outbreak of the last war, when the rise of the Germany fell into a cliff, and the glory of England finally came to a halt, and the power of the United States began to emerge.
Xiao Letian was well aware of the history behind this event. He would never let himself commit the mistakes of the William II, and of course, he would never make a promise to restrict the development of the navy like Bismark had.
At this time, they could only lie low and try their best. They would learn from others and secretly accumulate naval strength, and on the surface, they would fiercely flatter the British. At least, they could not use themselves as the greatest threat.
