C2485 Xiao Letians secret letter (1/2)

Duke of Newcastle's face flushed red. He might have felt that he really was a little ridiculous, thinking up such a crappy excuse in order to not waste this money.

Of course Prince Edward had to give the Duke face. After all, they were all members of the royal family, and the others could only be considered as officials of the royal family.

He pressed his hand against the crowd to stop laughing, and then he pulled a letter from his coat pocket on the coatrack.

”Gentlemen! This is a private letter that my friend Xiao Letian gave me before he left London. I can tell everyone, the main content of this letter is that Xiao Letian hopes that we can support Prussia in the future war.

”I think there is something in this letter that will answer your questions about why we want to help Prussia? Why must you help him? ”

Opening the letter, Prince Edward read the letter in detail. Everyone present seemed to once again be able to see the wise and farsighted Eastern politician, and sat in front of them. Using his iconic expression with a hint of a mischievous smile, he explained his reasoning to everyone!

Rather than saying that it was a letter, it would be more accurate to say that it was a detailed analysis of Europe's geopolitics by Xiao Letian.

Xiao Letian first asked a question. France and Prussia, which country had the most ambitions? Who is more dangerous? Here, Xiao Letian asked a series of rhetorical questions.

In Crimea, who joined the British against the Russian bear?

In Mexico, who tricked the Habsburg into building a new country?

In the Qing Empire's Subordinate Country, who was the one desperately expanding their influence?

Who was the one leading the war between the Sardinia Kingdom and the Austria?

Who was it that had forcibly cut off Savoy and the Nis from the kingdom of Sardinian?

Who was the person that had been stationed at the Vatican for so long?

Who wanted to annex Luxembourg in 1867? Who was the one who triggered the Luxembourg crisis?

After a series of questions, the faces of everyone present became serious. Duke of Newcastle's face flushed red again, he suddenly felt that he was way too wrong!

Who is it? Who is it? Who was it? Other than Napoleon III, who else could it be?

Even the Queen Victoria had said before, that Napoleon III was a madman, a person who stirred the flames of war all over the world!

In the letter, Xiao Letian very seriously mentioned this point. The ultimate secret of the balance policy of the continent lay in helping the weaker party to challenge the stronger party, and thereby achieving a strategic balance in the entire region.

Wasn't it obvious who was stronger between the France and Prussia?

Immediately after, Xiao Letian asked another series of rhetorical questions.

Are there countless overseas colonies in Prussia?

Does Prussia have a powerful ocean fleet and battleships?

Had Prussia ever taken Moscow in its history?

Would Prussia be able to defeat six European sieges in a row?
