C1053 dispute

Benjamin's judgement of Xiao Letian was entirely based on the unique intuition of a politician.

It was a very hard to describe feeling. When a person went through 30 to 40 years of hard work in studying and accumulating knowledge, they would always be in the political circle, constantly studying the strategy and geopolitics of a large country and would always have access to the world's most core secrets …

When a high quality elite spent half their lives immersed in this kind of conspiracy, when they had spent their entire lives researching the history of the rise and fall of powerful countries, that kind of indescribable straightforwardness or intelligence also appeared.

All the famous politicians in human history have more or less had this intuition, especially in China, where the founding emperors and generals are almost all mythic.

Didn't that emperor know about five hundred years ago and five hundred years ago? Let alone those people being legends, those people actually had such unique intuition. Many things happened in the beginning, so they were able to roughly deduce the final result.

The reason was very simple. 'With copper as the mirror, one could straighten one's clothes and use history as the mirror, one could know the vicissitudes of life, and with humans as the mirror, one could know the vicissitudes of us.' Those who were good at studying history mostly said they had a unique way of deducing what was happening now.

This was because all the chaos that had occurred before the eyes of the human race had actually happened over and over again in history. Although the appearances were not the same, the core things that had been thoroughly studied would not change, especially human nature and the hearts of the people.

Benjamin was one of the more outstanding Prime Ministers in the United Kingdom. To be able to get such a title from a later generation of Prime Ministers, one could tell how cultured this person was.

Benjamin's nonsense that seemed like that of a child was actually made after careful deliberation.

In his mind, the rise of a nation or nation was inseparable from the greater picture, opportunity, hero, and a little bit of luck.

That's right, it was not easy for a super power to form. The Chinese took advantage of the great situation and opportunities of the farming civilization, and in the Qin and Han Dynasties, they had already condensed a cultural core suitable for it to survive.

Of course, the Chinese were also lucky. That fertile land was protected by the sea, the plateau, and the desert. For thousands of years, the only enemies they had to face were the barbarians of the north.

The Ancient Rome Empire, on the other hand, was much weaker. Although they had established a huge empire by relying on the Mediterranean Sea Transport, they still had too many enemies to guard against.

The barbarians in the north had a cold belt and a pagan in the east. Although the barbarians in the south were a little backward, they had caused quite a big trouble in the past.

To compare three sides against one side, of course, the Chinese had better luck.

Britain's luck was also good. The first nation to open up the Industrial Revolution, with its powerful productivity and correct marine strategic thinking, had quickly made the European island nation the strongest country in the world.

But Benjamin knew very well that no matter how fast his luck was, those who advanced history still needed someone to accomplish it, especially a hero.

Drake, Na Erxun, Newton, Shakespeare... Innumerable heroes pushed Britain forward, seizing the opportunity of history and refusing to let go until it became the British Empire more than any other country in the world.

The people are loose, the people are selfish, and without the leadership of a hero, nothing will come of it.

Why is China so poor now? Because this is a China without heroes, everyone's heart is deluded by self-interest, they are constantly on the inside. At this moment, they were afraid that a hero would appear to gather the people. With such a large country with such a large population and economy, if they were mobilized, who in this world could contend against them?

Why doesn't Count de Beer understand this simple logic? Was he really old and muddle-headed?

No matter how Benjamin tried to explain, the stubborn Count de Beer was opposed to his opinion. From the beginning to the end, the Count de Beer didn't think Xiao Letian was any sort of hero, as Xiao Letian wasn't considered a hero in the eyes of the Count de Beer.

"Alright, Benjamin! In my eyes, Xiao Letian is just a mouse who is trying to take advantage of the strong. Look at what he is doing, he is just trying to become a prime minister on a broken island, and there are only twenty to thirty thousand soldiers. What do you think he can do? "

No matter how much you think of him, Xiao Letian is still the Prime Minister of the Subordinate States. He hasn't managed to get into the upper echelons of the Qing Empire yet, and it is said that the Tanggu District is doing quite well, but they are too young.

"What a joke. Even the declining Netherlands and the small Duchies of Italy are not something that Xiao Letian can compare to. You are overthinking it … Let him properly go and give trouble to the Qing Dynasty's Emperor and Russian. As long as he is still fighting against the Russian, I feel that we should at least give him some support! "

Benjamin was about to go crazy: "Prime Minister, you can't view things like this! Although the Ryukyu is a Subordinate States of the Qing Empire, Xiao Letian has always been a Chinese.

"And China is a very practical people. They are very loyal to the imperial power on the surface, but they are also loyal to the imperial power. They are not loyal to a single emperor... Oh God! "Why can't you understand what I mean?"

"Xiao Letian is very dangerous, he is way too dangerous, I think that everything he is doing now is just lying in wait, he is gathering energy, there will be a day when he will soar into the sky! When he shows his fangs, I'm afraid we won't be able to control him! "

Benjamin gritted his teeth and even threatened in the end, "Prime Minister, if you still ignore my suggestion this much … I want to see the queen alone, I want to be independent! "

With a loud thud, Count de Beer placed his wine cup on the table, "You want to meet the Queen? Are you going to bother the queen just for this? "I've misjudged you. The position of Prime Minister is inappropriate for you. We need to pay more attention to the Empire. Why do you have to keep an eye on a small role in East Asia?"

"For a battleship like that? Well, I can authorize you to give the Navy an extra £2 million in research money, and we'll build a warship like that! Are you satisfied now? My Minister of Finance … "

Benjamin was infuriated by Count de Beer's strange tone of voice, "I really can't explain it, I must go and meet Her Majesty the Queen!"

Debbie stood up angrily and hit the floor with her cane. "Okay, then let's go!" "You're too impatient, seizing authority is not something you can do!"
