C2292 Stupid and stubborn (1/2)
Gladstone had guessed correctly, at the top of the British pyramid, there was actually the thought of giving up on Benjamin. At this moment, these financial circles, business circles, Military, royal family, political elites, cultural scholars … Even many ordinary citizens were strongly dissatisfied.
Not because of failure, the British are not afraid of failure, now that the British have enough to fight the world, once or twice a small failure can stimulate the strategic potential of Britain and win the final victory.
And the proud people naturally had their own self-confidence. Victory could be tortuous, but the result must be bright.
Benjamin disappointed everyone with his stubbornness and foolishness. There was no need to talk about stupidity, just with the incident with the captivity, ordinary people would not be able to understand what was going on inside, but all the elites on top of the towers would understand.
The foolish Benjamin made the French and Russian thugs protest, and even set the East Palace on fire. Then, the Chinese people would take this opportunity to play the Tragic Sorrow card, and directly take advantage of this opportunity to trap him.
Nausea? But disgust is also something you brought on yourself. If you, Benjamin, treated Xiao Letian according to normal diplomatic etiquette, would you let others get hold of this weakness?
Now that everything has been set in stone, Britain will be in the dark. The majority of the people in Europe believe in the existence of imprisonment, what else can you do? Are you going to explain the billions of people one by one?
Stupid, this is what you call an extremely stupid action. You, Benjamin, were originally a veteran politician too, so you shouldn't have made such a lowly mistake!
However, there is a origin for stupidity, and it's because Benjamin was too stubborn, and refused to accept other people's opinions, that's why there was such a solution when one walked down the road of darkness.
Stubbornness is the root, stupidity is the form, failure and shame is the result!
No one would have thought that Benjamin would be so stubborn. Without Xiao Letian, who would be able to invite the Tongzhi Emperor to Europe? Since when did Britain have so much face? You have to accept such a small favor!
You don't acknowledge it? You just want to fight against him? Even the royal family gave in in in the end, and even the queen pulled down her face to try to persuade you.
You keep proclaiming that Xiao Letian is the life and death enemy of the British Empire, why didn't we see that? Are you the only smart one in England?
The royal family is a fool, but the rest of us are fools. Are the financial oligarchs of the entire British Empire, the tycoons of industry and commerce, all brainless? We don't even know how to walk. If we're all blind, you'll have to lead us?
Aren't you being too arrogant? We don't care if you look down on the Chinese, you can't look down on all of us!
Fine, even if your family has a daughter who's been abused by the Chinese, we don't care if you want to take revenge on your own behalf. We will definitely help the British, and even if you act so shamelessly, you will still be our Prime Minister.
But you f * cking let us help you, you actually won! Over and over again, you keep getting slaps from the Chinese. Don't you think it's embarrassing?
Disappointment, deep disappointment, all these elites at the top of the British pyramid had strong feelings of disappointment.
Britain was a country where merchants were the most respected, and merchants were people who pursued benefits rather than conflicts.
For example, the representatives of the City and the business world were very close to Liberal Party's Gladstone, and their perspectives on this conflict were very close.
What happened to the Chinese? What happened to the Chinese? What about Xiao Letian? [He didn't say he wants to fight with you in England. He hasn't closed his doors either?]
