C2250 Suffering in China (2/2)
”Following that, the Jiaozhou area of Shandong Province encountered a locust plague that only happened once every hundred years. The green seedlings of the three counties were all nibbled away …”
”During May and June, Fujian, Guangzhou and Guangxi suffered a typhoon that swept through them. Hundreds of thousands more people were affected, and the Kingdom of Qing couldn't care less …”
”Jiangnan is in a period of economic recovery, and war is still going on in the northwest. ”He's so powerless …”
As he said that, Xiao Letian pointed to the small island nation on the sea. ”If we can't get close to the imperial government, then even though we, the Chinese race, are weak, we can't just stand by and do nothing. If we can't save the entire nation's victims, I can at least save a portion of them …”
”No matter how weak the power of kindness is, we still have to do it! Ladies and gentlemen, Prime Minister Benjamin has been trying to pass on his threat to Europe, saying that we are some kind of ambitious person and invaders! ”
Trembling, he pointed to the dilapidated map of China and said, ”The suffering of China is something you can't even imagine. The people's basic food is already a problem, who else can we invade?” What other ambitions do we have? ”
”To be able to protect himself is already not easy!” As he said that, Xiao Letian painfully pounded his chest with his hands, large amounts of tears streaming down his face.
Everyone was stunned by the miserable scene that the Head of the Guards had described. The editors and reporters present were all elites of the City of London.
When they heard that the Führer had exposed his disgrace, everyone was so shocked that they even forgot about the record.
”How is this possible? Didn't the Kingdom of Qing claim to be a wealthy country in the previous era? Even if there was a disparity between the truth and what the imperial government has said, there should not be such a huge difference! ”
Xiao Letian nodded his head, ”There is such a big difference in strength. If I have the chance, I am willing to provide everyone with assistance so that you can personally enter the interior of Qing Nation to see what the real Great Qing looks like …”
”Alright, I can answer everyone's doubts now. Why is Prime Minister Benjamin so afraid of the Chinese … That's because he saw only the big side of China and ignored the weak side of China... ”
”How many people are there in China? ”Although there's no accurate number to be had after the war, 500 million to 600 million can still be guaranteed …”
”How much land area does China have? It is more than ten million square kilometers. Other than the British Empire, this is the second largest empire in the world … ”
”Such a vast piece of land, such a large population, such a large size is truly terrifying … The reason why the Chinese rise up in East Asia is still because of China, and the Prime Minister is worried that the Chinese will one day mobilize such a large force, and challenge the interests of the British Empire! ”
”I can understand the Prime Minister's concern, and it is understandable that he should say this in his place, for the sake of British national security... ”So, from the beginning to the end, I never felt angry, nor did I feel any disgust for the Prime Minister!”
”In his place, he is just trying to seek justice!”
”However, I can't explain it, I can't explain it, I can't explain it, and the claypot won't leak out for the rest of my life …” ”Ha ha-ha, the Prime Minister's worries and the worries of the whole of England, I will explain them to you today!”
