C2239 The Queens Promise (1/2)
”No, no, mother, you guessed wrong. Chinese families are very filial. Not taking care of the elderly is a serious crime in China, and it can be compared to treason. Where would one not dare to retire?”
”Through contact, my Expedition finally understood one thing. The Chinese people have already treated the development and construction of the city as a religion …”
”One day does not work, one day does not eat! This is the creed of their lives, and they know better the principle of building a tower of sand. Maybe one day I can only clear out a square meter of wasteland, but what about one year? ”What about ten years?”
”The most important thing is that the Chinese people are not doing these jobs with a reluctant heart. They are really enjoying the process. When they see their own fruits of work getting richer day by day, all the hard work will become sweet!”
”He's nearly eighty years old, and he's still growing vegetables in the wilderness. That's not a punishment, but the old man's true pleasure!”
”What a terrifying nation. Only this kind of people can unearth these primordial treasures. I believe that if the economic construction is carried out with the Chinese as the main body, the production of resources in Southeast Asia will increase by tenfold or even a hundredfold!”
”What is the power of the Empire? ”At the end of the day, we still only have the limited resources and the productivity to process these resources. If China can help us excavate this huge primitive gold mine, so what if we can support a Chinese?”
Edward had obviously done his homework in advance. This crown prince who was an expert in foreign affairs was extremely curious about the outside world, his pioneering spirit was not weaker than any of the seniors.
In his plan, East Asia would support two British agents: one was the Qing Dynasty, one was the Chinese, one was facing the mainland, and one was facing the ocean.
There was no way for Britain to be intimate with the world, so it was the way of England to seek suitable agents to rule the world together.
After careful observation, the Crown Prince decided that only the Chinese in Asia had the most powerful ability to create wealth. Who else could this people use?
And who would be the one to rule this nation, the Qing Dynasty? That group of people who wet their pants the moment they saw Hai Yang? Of course not, the only suitable candidate was Xiao Letian.
It took a whole two cigarettes of effort for Edward to finish speaking of his plan, but it seemed like the Queen had really untied the knot in her heart. She did not have a single trace of impatience.
But just when Edward thought that this matter was over, the Queen actually opened her mouth and said, ”What you said does make sense, but have you thought about it yet, how are you going to execute it?”
”My child, do not forget, what is the national constitution of my Great Britain? Everything you said just now, was it something our royal family could interfere with? Do you think that the Prime Minister and the external phase are just for show? Do you want to interfere in the administration of the Cabinet? ”
”Don't think of my mother as omnipotent. I can only exert a little influence at the right time, not make decisions for the Cabinet!”
”If you want your plan to succeed, then Benjamin will have to pass this trial. If he does not agree, then what is the use of your plan being perfect?”
”They are the ones who will have to compete with the Chinese in negotiations. They are the ones who finally signed the written terms of the agreement. The ones who signed the contract and took responsibility for it are still them … My signature is just a ritual. Do you really think I can do whatever I want? ”
”Looking at it now, Benjamin has a completely different judgement from you. How can you heal this kind of conflict?”
