C2190 The Prime Ministers Sense of Crisis (1/2)
At nine in the morning, Prince Edward angrily walked out from Downing Street. It seemed like his conversation with Benjamin was not going well.
Benjamin was more stubborn than the Prince had thought, he did not listen to his advice at all. The Prince had repeatedly said that he should not provoke these Chinese anymore and maintain his demeanor as a big country.
But Benjamin bit that Xiao Letian was a wild man and refuted the prince's words with all his might.
In Benjamin's opinion, Xiao Letian was the biggest threat to the Empire's rule of Asia. Everything on the surface was a lie, but Xiao Letian would definitely challenge the Empire's maritime rights and interests.
There is a very tragic name for this strategy in China: 'Lying on the Couch for Danger'. The insidious Chinese can even taste the feces of their enemies for revenge.
They could sleep in the stables and feed on gallbladders for the sake of war. What a terrible spirit of vengeance was that?
Look at the thousands of years of civilization in China. There were indeed many times when the Chinese were almost killed by other races. Even the Chinese nation was destroyed.
But in the end? It was only relying on the spirit of lying low and trying to test the courage that was slowly rising, but what about the consequences of bullying the other Han people?
More or less, their families were exterminated, and their land was eventually incorporated into the Chinese territory.
Some say that Xiao Letian is a Grandmaster in Asian Western Studies, I don't think so! Xiao Letian still believed in their sinister method from the bottom of his heart, Western learning was just a tool in his hands.
Take a look at the system he came up with in the Ryukyu, which are the Six Jue Eighteen, the Temple of War, the concept of Chinese and Chinese culture, what are these? These are really just a variant of their own cultural system.
The industrial power was merely a tool in Xiao Letian's hands, he was a fanatical nationalist!
If they cooperated with him, it would definitely be a battle of attrition. In the end, the Empire would definitely suffer a huge loss, and in fact, a huge loss as well!
It was very difficult for Edward to understand the Prime Minister's paranoia. He had completely used what he had imagined as evidence, and completely ignored all of the kindness Xiao Letian had shown him.
Seeing how excited the Prime Minister was, the Crown Prince felt more and more disappointed. He was deeply disappointed, it seemed like his mother had made the right decision, the Tory Party had already been in power for too long, it was about to happen.
The Prince's last words were very serious. This diplomatic gathering was related to the honor of the British Empire and the Queen, so no mishap could be allowed. The conflict yesterday could not be allowed.
Benjamin was so angry that his chest continuously rose and fell.
”How can this be? You are the crown prince of the Empire, why don't you feel the slightest sense of danger? The scenery of Golden Age has blinded your eyes, so that the empire will suffer a loss sooner or later! ”
When Edward was born, he was already at the top of the world. What he had heard since he was young was all about learning the methods of the Golden Age Dynasty.
Britain's invincibility in battle had already become a belief in his heart. He was already used to the glory of the British Empire as if he was breathing, but in fact, not only Edward, many of the young people in the British aristocracy also had the same thoughts.
The mountains and rivers fought by their ancestors were simply too rich. They did not live a bitter life, nor did they experience any kind of failure. To put it bluntly, Golden Age had spoiled their lives.
They have one thing in common, and that is pride, pride from the bottom of their bones. They don't believe that England will fail in any way!
A negotiation ended badly.
