C3359 The Elegy of the Falling Empire (2/2)
Poor baby, have more time to drink your own wine, such a bloody war is not suitable for you ah!
What? Are you afraid of losing face? Easy ah, I can spend money to buy it! Don't you have an excuse when you give me money?
Obedient, obedient, since that island is lost, you will not be able to take it back.
How good is it to be king of peace? Stop playing such a bloody war game!
In Switzerland, Xiao Letian had already used his full tongue to scare A Madiao, and after that the king had found many neutral scholars and experts, among them were many foreign affairs, military, economy, human politics, mountain geography and so on. Excellent talent in all fields.
Countless powerful people were gathered together to help A Madiao think of a plan. However, the result was very pessimistic, as everyone believed that Spain would not send their Expeditionary forces to defeat the Chinese.
The navy and army forces of the Philippines had been completely destroyed by two idiots, and the Chinese controlled the richest island of the Luzon, including Manila.
This meant that Spain had completely lost their advantage in the terrain. If they sent out their Expeditionary forces, it would basically mean a new war of aggression.
It was not about rescuing the city, it was purely a secondary occupation!
The Chinese Army was famous all over the world for being good at guarding. Even the French could not break through the Chinese defense lines, but Spain could?
To be able to get something in exchange for money in a situation where he was bound to lose, that was already a huge sum of money.
This era! It was not only a Great Qing that was in decline, many of the powerful countries in history had already turned into weak little white rabbits!
A Madiao's first attempt at telegraph had completely infuriated Gladstone. He could not understand, how could a good King of Spain surrender so easily!
”This is too embarrassing, this is simply a humiliation for Europe!” Gladstone whispered and cursed.
He raised his head and looked at Xiao Letian as he said in a huff, ”You think you have won? Hehe … Can you think of a deal without the nod of the Spanish Parliament? ”
Xiao Letian shrugged his shoulders, ”It doesn't matter! If the Spanish Parliament doesn't accept it, then think of a way! it was nothing more than sending the Expeditionary forces to make use of the war. ”
”Do you think those people in the Spanish Parliament don't know anything about their country? Haha … ”With Spain's current strength, can they still fight?”
Xiao Letian laughed unrestrainedly, ”Parliament? What is Parliament... It's just that a bunch of capitalists and nobles are gathered together to play the game of voting! ”
”Those people would do the loss business? It's a war that they will definitely lose.
”Merchants' consideration is all about investment and output! ”Not battle spirit, my old friend …”
”You!” Gladstone's nose was crooked with anger.
”Don't challenge my patience. Do you think our British Empire will just let you go?”
Xiao Letian stopped smiling and asked: ”What do you mean? Is the Prime Minister threatening me? Britain is preparing for military intervention? ”
”Haha, how interesting, is it that Britain is prepared to spend twenty or thirty million pounds on Spain? And ready to die for Spain? ”
”Is that what you mean?”
