C2310 The truth has been said (2/2)
War was also a business, it was also considered an investment and production. If one could win a war with 100 million military expenditures, could the new colony earn back that 100 million?
If you say that you can earn it back, how many years would it take? Ten years, eight years, a hundred years? If the investment was big and the results were slow, there was even a possibility of them falling into the bottomless pit of garrison funds. That would be a loss of money for the transaction.
”What a powerful Eastern Führer. Just when the business and finance industry of the United Kingdom revealed some hints of a crisis, they were able to catch him so quickly. This man is so scary!”
This was the first time they sincerely called Xiao Letian their leader, the respect in these words couldn't fool people.
Xiao Letian was finally sure that the English pot of water was boiling. To be able to make Gladstone look at him with such an astonished expression, it must have touched his heart.
”Yes, Mr. Gladstone, I can understand your ideals, but at the moment, there are countless people in England who don't understand you. If you are a ambitious person, then you are a contender for power and profit, but that is the heart of a villain!”
”There is a hidden reason behind your success. In fact, it is because a hidden force at the bottom of British society chose you, Reformist!”
”Don't look at me like that, I, Xiao Letian, am even more unambitious. I don't want or dare to have any intentions towards Britain.
”I'm just like a gambler, betting all of my money on you!” That's all … Why are you still looking at me like that? Do you think I have the ability to subvert British politics? Are you all that unconfident? ”
”I have clearly seen the development of history. I naturally want to closely follow the side of the victor … Although you as the victor do not have 100% confidence right now, but I do! In my heart, I have already identified you as the next British Prime Minister … ”
”The reform of the British Empire is destined to be carried out by you, so you should be the one to write about the glory of the next hundred years!”
Saying that, Xiao Letian shrugged his shoulders and poured himself a cup of wine: ”I already know that you are going to win, why don't I hurry up and bet on it? Could it be that he wanted to bet on Benjamin? Forget it, the negotiations between Benjamin and I in the afternoon ended on a bad note. We are simply not on the same level of thinking, wasting our time talking like chickens and ducks! ”
This was the first time he said that Xiao Letian treated him as an equal negotiator, and did not have the haughty attitude from the beginning.
In his heart, he was extremely grateful to Xiao Letian, because he knew that he couldn't even say this out loud, so if he couldn't convince the eavesdroppers with these words, then the British Empire would have no hope.
It was a miracle God had given him to fill in the last hurdle on his way to the prime minister's office.
Just for this little favor, I have to protect you … Actually, I don't need to protect you any longer. The reasoning behind your words has been transmitted to the ears of the Empire's elites.
If you can convince me, you can also convince them!
Xiao Letian, your most dangerous crisis has finally passed. I don't dare say anything else, at least your life is safe!
