C2252 boiling of matter (2/2)
They would rather make less money at the beginning than let the Chinese get a huge stock of food. This was their strategy for the next few decades, and was one of the necessary conditions for the expansion of the stronghold's plan.
At the present, the Chinese did not have a strong navy that could protect the entire Southern Ocean. If he wanted to develop peacefully in the next ten years, he would have to make the other nations of the seas like Britain relax their vigilance. The Ken Tun Region would bypass the money bags of the western colonists and choose industries that they did not want to develop.
With so many layers of analysis and deciphering, the Europeans were naturally sensitive to numbers. When the theory was matched with precise numbers as evidence, the editors present were convinced.
What is called a peerless apostle? This was a truly peerless defense! I am not trying to argue with you, I am not trying to embarrass you.
Perfection like Water, Xiao Letian's logic was like a gentle stream flowing by the side of a road, slowly nourishing the water into the water, finally causing you to be convinced.
At this moment, the editors had no more questions, Benjamin's attacks on them, all gave perfect answers, the so-called Chinese threat made the leader refute it like a big joke.
That day, at noon, Xiao Letian hosted a banquet to entertain these editors. That afternoon, the various major newspapers had already started preparations for the next round of public opinion battles tomorrow.
Today's summer was destined to be a good opportunity for the European press to flourish. Just from the scolding battle between the Eastern and Western Heads of State, the overall newspaper sales volume had increased by 30%.
At this time in Europe, any newspaper would have to publish and reprint news about the Eastern diplomatic mission. This matter was related to money, so who would be at odds with money?
This was a virtuous circle. The more Eastern news was reported, the higher the audience of the readers, and the higher the readers, the more excited the newspapers were to broadcast Oriental news.
The next morning, without question, all the headlines of the newspapers had this interview. Xiao Letian took out the evidence and convinced the countless citizens.
”That's right!” No one will build an ownerless wasteland, would it be better to do so than to build a wasteland for the Chinese? ”
”The Chinese reclamation area never gave the Governor a penny less, so why should they use it as a threat if they pay tax in accordance with the law?”
”Is the Qing Empire so weak now? You can't even solve the problem of getting food and drinks for the people? God, it reminds me of that time in Ireland a few years back... Too tragic, too tragic! ”
”The Prime Minister's actions were indeed unreasonable. If the Chinese were just building in the wasteland of Southeast Asia, and the main business was nothing but food and animal husbandry, then what threat would it pose to our empire?”
”What does the war between the Chinese, France, and Russia have to do with us? Why does the British Empire want to stand up for them?”
The market immediately boiled up, and the voices that doubted Benjamin could not be heard.
The Downing Street was immediately furious. Benjamin realized that Xiao Letian was simply a shameless representative, even he himself clearly did not want to see, what were you trying so hard for? Staying in England?
”Damned bastard, you want to rely on being a rascal to make me see you?” In your dreams, I will never start a negotiation with you! Someone come, hold a press conference, I have something to say! ”
