C2247 The Fiihrers Confidence (1/2)
In Xiao Letian's study room, behind the gigantic walnut desk, the head of the Hua Clan was writing furiously, issuing a series of orders at top speed.
Wang Huaiyuan, Sima Yun and the rest were sitting opposite of Xiao Letian, quietly waiting. They did not look anxious or impatient, but Bing Tai, Luo Huo and his irritable general were pacing around the room restlessly.
There were many times when Luo Huo wanted to say something, but when he saw the leader's silent expression, not a single word came out of his mouth.
After signing the last military order, Xiao Letian rubbed his temples and looked at Bing Tai who was like a hot pot ant, and suddenly laughed.
”Alright, you can ask whatever it is you want. You'll suffocate to death if you wait any longer!”
”Father!” Since the British despise us, let's go to Prussia! There are our friends there, there are places where we can use our martial arts! ”
”I don't believe it. As long as we can display our might in the war between France and Japan, won't we be able to get an admission? Must we exchange the letter of credence? ”
”This is really bullying!” This is too bullying! ”
Xiao Letian had already guessed that Bing Tai would say these kinds of things, so he shook his head: ”Are you looking down on me? Who dares to look down on you! A single Benjamin was enough to represent all of Britain? ”Childish...”
”You have to remember, people live to solve all kinds of problems, not to avoid hiding! ”You ran into a pile of dust in England, and now you want to leave?”
”Britain is the Ocean Empire. No matter how well you fought in the war on the mainland, they would never respect you!” So what if Pufa wins? In the high seas, it will be easy for the British to outlaw you! ”
”So, if we don't get the letter of exchange from Britain, we will never leave this place. Only by making the UK recognize that our Chinese race is as independent as theirs, we must build a relationship, and then I can go and fight the law in peace!”
”The logic is that simple. If we get the recognition of the United Kingdom, we can declare war on France in the name of the country. This is too important. It concerns the distribution of the final spoils of war!”
”My boy, do you think it would be better to go to war as a Prussian mercenary? Is it better to fight as a nation? ”
”Benjamin has thought about this a lot, and it's a long way from here. If the Europeans hold back on their words and say that we are a group of warlords, then even if we win the Franco-Prussian war in the end, we won't be able to reach the negotiating table. The final peace talks have nothing to do with us!”
”We can only get a part of the Prussian war reparations. Is that what we want?”
”But getting a country's title is different. At the end of the war, we can be on equal footing with these Europeans, and we can bargain with the French. The result of the war is much more than a warlord, isn't it?”
”That's right!” Bing Tai impatiently shouted, ”I understand this logic, but we won't let go even if we have to! It's not like we can hold the knife to his neck!”
Xiao Letian said as he reached out his hand, ”Lower your voice. Aren't you afraid that there will be copper pipes in the house to eavesdrop on us?”
