C2258 stand alone with no help (2/2)

”Hahaha …” The Queen smiled, ”Alright then. Since that's what you want, why don't you go upstairs and ask the Emperor of China to come with you?”

”So grandmother is willing to help Xiao Letian? ”Alright, I'll go right now …”

Victoria looked at her grandson's back in excitement. She had a smile on her face, but her mouth was soft as she said, ”This Young William is indeed very smart, but he is still lacking in the ability to grasp big strategies!”

Qiao Zhi looked up at his grandmother. At his age, he couldn't understand the deep meaning behind her words.

As expected, William came back a quarter of an hour later with a look of disbelief on his face. Grandmother... It's too weird, not even eight o'clock, Tongzhi actually went to sleep? ”

”Hahaha …” ”Sleep well, sleep well. Rest early!” Queen Victoria touched William's head: ”You still have a lot to learn!”

Tongzhi had long ago left, and in this period of more than a month, with Gordon's company, Zai Chun had completely gone mad.

Oxford, Cambridge, Naval Research Institute, Army Laboratory, the newest Iron-armored battleship Shipyard, the world's largest Steel plant, the fastest train... All the most advanced civilizations in Europe were revealed to him.

Wherever the Emperor appeared, the most enthusiastic welcoming ceremony was organized. Some of the ceremonies were even larger than that of the Queen, the vanity of the Tongzhi Emperor was praised to the heavens by the British.

Gordon's promise to the Tongzhi Emperor also caused the little emperor to be unable to sleep. Gordon had once said that as long as the little emperor would allow the UK to invest in the construction of the railway line from Beijing to Shanghai, the UK would give the emperor ten million pounds of military assistance.

Not to mention the ten million, there was also a twenty million pound interest-free loan and a fifty million pound low-interest loan!

The most advanced weapons in Britain can all be sold to the Qing Empire. There are absolutely no technical barriers in what you want, and the UK can also provide a complete set of military services, from military instructors to infrastructure, everything can be sold to the Qing Empire.

There were still a lot of other conditions, if not for the little emperor who had steadied his aura, and if not for the fact that Xiao Letian and the others had trained well, with Zai Chun's personality, he would probably have agreed to it already.

It was precisely because Tongzhi's words were ambiguous and had a bit of an Emperor's Heart that was hard to fathom. That was why Benjamin kept on adding fuel to the fire.

At this time, Zai Chun's heart was already tied with the UK, and now he had a falling out with the British Prime Minister just for his master? He was young, but that didn't mean he was stupid!

So when Young William told Man Shun his request, Zai Chun just directly pretended to sleep and ignore him, asking us to step out and help him out? Do we still need reinforcements? Will our new army still be able to support it? Are you joking...

Queen Victoria had understood everything long ago. He looked towards the Eastern Palace Clan and said in a low voice, ”My apologies, dear Xiao, you are the only one who has cracked this trap. I cannot help you in any way!”

”Your Majesty, it is already 8: 30. Do you want to return to your bedroom or to your study? ”The humidity outside is too great …” While they were chatting, the Queen's Attendant walked over and whispered.

”Then let's return to the study room. I won't be able to sleep today …” Before she could even finish her words, Attendant's face suddenly filled with fear as she looked towards the west.

”My God! Your Majesty, quickly look … There's a flame in the East Palace, there's a flame in the East Palace! ”
