C2135 Conspiracy of the colonialist (1/2)

Xiao Letian was someone he was very familiar with. In history, he was already a well-known figure, a pioneer in British colonialism, a master in expansion towards the outside world.

Xiao Letian was not sure if this person was Benjamin's direct descendant, but he was sure that this person's thoughts were the same as Benjamin's. He was definitely not on the same side as Gladstone's group.

At first, Gordon did not receive the army's order to participate in the battle. He used his interpersonal relationships to request for participation in the battle, or to ride on the merchant ship to chase after them.

After the war ended, he did not follow the rest of the army back to Europe, but chose to stay in China to look for opportunities, and in the end, chose to wait for the Chang Sheng Jun.

In this era, the management of nationality was very lax in the eyes of the various governments. Only talented people would be the mainstream policy, so Gordon's position of governor in Britain did not conflict with his position in the British Army at all.

On the contrary, his outstanding performance in China gave him a lot of points. Since his return from China, the British Military Department promoted him to colonel in the first place, which laid a solid foundation for his promotion to general in the future.

If there was no error in Xiao Letian's memories, he died near the capital of the African Sudan Republic, Khartoum.'s death was directly related to Gladstone.

At that time, Gordon's position was already that of a general, and he was authorized to command all the army in Egypt. At that time, he was commanding all the troops to calm down the rebellion in Khartoum, but right at that moment, British Prime Minister chose to give up all benefits to Sudan.

To put it bluntly, they did not want the colony anymore. However, there was still a group of militant citizens and officials who wanted to not give up, which delayed the dispatch of reinforcements.

When the reinforcements Gladstone sent finally arrived at Khartoum, they realized that Gordon had died in battle here.

Gordon could be said to be a representative of the British colonialist. His body had the colors of a legend, and his experience in war had a lot of basics among the masses.

It was said that this fellow also believed in mysticism, was willing to study local religions and dark arts anywhere, and had even studied Taoism and Buddhism in China.

Such a high-ranking officer filled with strange elements was destined to be a legend. It was natural for him to attract the attention of the common folk.

The news of Gordon's death caused the Queen to be enraged! She scolded Gladstone for her inaction and condemned the inaction.

This was the last straw of Gladstone's downfall. If the Queen didn't like you anymore, then the people who loved the Queen would give up on you. In the end, Gladstone could only dejectedly step down.

Xiao Letian shook his head, putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. He was already certain that Benjamin's extremely humble attitude was dictated by Benjamin, it seemed like the colonialist was determined to bet on Zai Chun.

Tongzhi had already stepped into the trap of the British colonialist.

”Your Majesty … Why don't you listen to the British side? ”I've heard quite a bit about dual citizenship, but I really don't think I've heard about dual citizenship …”

Xiao Letian wanted to remind Zai Chun that even if he had fought in China before, he was still an Englishman and a person like Gordon could not be trusted too much.

But before Zai Chun could say anything, Benjamin, who was behind him, walked over and said with a smile, ”Of course we are willing to let our country's talented people shine all over the world …”
