C2295 Golden Age Crisis (1/2)
”Oh, my dear Minister of Finance, what you said is not right. A treaty between countries is essentially no different from a contract in commercial negotiations …”
”The payment must be mutual. If you let me give something, what can Britain give me? Is it just an exchange of letters? ”If that's all there is, then wouldn't we suffer a huge loss …”
”Don't forget, if I did not assist you, you would have had to put in a lot of effort to trip Benjamin up, right?”
Britain was indeed a country's merchant, but the most important characteristic of merchants was that they liked to negotiate and bargain. They clearly knew that the one who picked on the fault was the real buyer.
”Yes, I admit that you have indeed helped me a lot, but don't forget, even without you, I would have replaced Benjamin sooner or later …”
”Never underestimate my love for the British Empire. I will never give you the benefits of Britain! Don't you dare think that you can harm my British Empire in the slightest! ”
Such righteous words made Xiao Letian turn serious, ”Why do you think of me like that? ”I suppose with your wisdom you can see that everything I have done has a great deal to do with England?”
”Benjamin's existence is the greatest threat to the British Empire, and the warlike thinking of the Tory Party is the true disease of Britain! I'm removing the tumor for your country! ”Can you really not tell …”
Gladstone's eyes shrunk and his heart tensed up. He had carefully lured Xiao Letian to this topic after all, and the big figures in the two rooms next door wanted to hear the answer to this question.
Of course, Xiao Letian and him had their own selfish thoughts when trying to overthrow Benjamin, but was this kind of overthrow harmful to Britain?
Was Benjamin removed for his personal gain or for personal consideration? This question troubled the Crown Prince Edward and all the other elites of the empire.
In a quiet and narrow room, two groups of people sat crowded together. In front of them was a huge brass horn, and although the sound was faint, it was very clear. When Gladstone successfully brought the topic to that sensitive point, everyone couldn't help but sit up straight and listen with rapt attention.
Edward subconsciously tightened his grip on the armrest of the sofa. He knew that every word that Xiao Letian said after this would determine his life and death.
”Xiao Letian, don't think that just because this is a secret chamber you can speak such nonsense! Be careful, you must be careful! ” The crown prince was sweating profusely. To be honest, when Xiao Letian respected his own father and mother so much, the crown prince sincerely hoped that he could pass.
Xiao Letian, who was completely unaware of the monitoring system, looked at Gladstone in shock. ”You really don't understand the situation you're in? You really can't understand it? ”
”That shouldn't be the case. With your political skills and your grasp of the situation, are you really unable to figure out this window paper?”
Gladstone frowned and said, ”Führer, please don't try to figure out what I am thinking. Now I want to know what you are thinking …” If you want to cooperate better with me in the future, then you should be more honest and let me see your sincerity.
”OK!” OK! ”You're an elder, and you've been in politics longer than me. I can't beat you …” Raising his wine cup, Xiao Letian drained it in one gulp. Then, he let out a long breath.
”England! Including Europe! And the whole world! Actually, we are already at the threshold of a great change, could it be that you really don't understand? ”
