C1454 You're welcome to open the door

Xiao Letian's opening remark was extremely rude. It truly went against the basic principles of a diplomat, but Ai Liguo was not angry, the two of them were able to run to this desolated island that only fishermen could meet on the sea.

On the white napkin were sweet doughnuts, roast beef with charcoal, wine from Ice Town, and a few appetizing vegetables … The lunch was not sumptuous, but it was also delicious. Unfortunately, other than taking a sip of red wine, no one had the leisure to move their knives and forks.

Xiao Letian went straight to the point and pushed over the information on his table with a strange smile on his face, "Minister, I have some questions for you, why did the two British frigate s in Hong Kong suddenly leave the military port?"

"Not only that, the Singapore's Battle Battleship Queen honor and the other three cruisers have also set off together. I wonder what kind of mission the Royal Navy will have?"

Ai Liguo frowned, he was secretly surprised in his heart, why was Xiao Letian's intelligence network so efficient? The battle had just begun and he was already able to smell it?

On the paper, it was clearly written in English. The names of the ships, the parameters, the time of departure, the names of the commanders and other information about the naval battleships that Hong Kong, the Singapore and even India had ordered to be relocated were recorded.

However, Ai Liguo was gratified that this information did not indicate the destination of these warships. This meant that although Xiao Letian's spies were extremely close to the British Navy's base, they had not infiltrated inside.

"Oh, what does that mean? Hehe, I think it only means that the Prime Minister has enmity towards us, Britain? " Ai Liguo curled his lips, threw the paper on the table, and drank a mouthful of the ice-cold red wine to calm his nerves.

"When does the Royal Navy go out to sea? What kind of mission are they going to take? This is our internal affairs. No one can interfere with this. Do I have any obligation to explain it to you?"

"But I would like to hear your explanation. As the Chinese Prime Minister, if you send out spies to spy on the British military, do you think that you are challenging the dignity of the British Empire? Dear Shaw, don't play with the fire, be careful not to burn your own... "

This was the pride of Britain, the domineering attitude of the world's number one power. Only if they bullied others would others be able to take advantage of them.

Xiao Letian was not angry, he turned over the piece of information and folded it before handing it over to Wang Huaiyuan, and also received a piece of paper with a heart from the CIA.

"Oh? The mission mentioned by the Minister, did it also include the powerful troops in Shanghai? Look at what the British Concession in Shanghai has been doing all this time! "Within ten days, you have unloaded eight merchant ships with 1200 tons of ammunition. What are you planning to do?"

"All the officers and soldiers' vacations have been cancelled, the army is on high alert, the navy is on board, and they have even started to purchase food from the civilian population. Is this also an ordinary mission? It must be a military mission! "

Ai Liguo angrily put down his wine cup and said, "This has nothing to do with you! You are interfering in the internal affairs of our country... "

"Right, right..." What do you do in Asia that's internal? Fine, let's consider it as your internal affairs, but I believe that your internal affairs pose a threat to us Chinese. I hope that Minister can help me resolve my doubts and give me a peace of mind to eat! "

Ai Liguo lightly glanced at Xiao Letian, "I always thought that Prime Minister was an outstanding genius in diplomacy, but today, I see that... "Hur hur, I'll take back my previous point of view!"

Facing the British Minister's mockery of Xiao Letian, he did not feel the slightest bit of anger. He sat back down on the chair and poured himself a cup of wine, drinking a beautiful cup.

"The Thames will probably take another five to six hours to repair. Those European tourists who came ashore to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Laoshan Mountains will probably have to wait until nightfall before returning to the ship. We still have time to slowly waste …"

"In terms of diplomatic negotiations, Minister is my senior. I am not your match …" But there's plenty of time. Would you like to hear some of my assumptions? Or perhaps it's just a bizarre story, do you want to pass the time today? "

Ai Liguo shrugged his shoulders. "If it's a very interesting story, then I'm definitely willing to listen to it. Diplomats aren't necessarily all old-fashioned either!"

"Very well, then let me make a bold guess as to what mission Royal Navy is going to take this time …"

With a crashing sound, a huge map of Asia unfolded in the hands of two soldiers. This was a high precision Military Maps, with the addition of the various civilian ports marked on it, as well as the situation of the various countries' military ports and their coastal garrisons.

Ai Liguo's eyes lit up, he suddenly realised that the numbers on the map were actually even more detailed than that of Britain's.

"Britain, an island nation that has the core interests of trading in the sea as its core country, any opponent that challenges maritime rights is a life and death enemy of Britain. For example, the various powers in the interior of Europe …"

"Russia is an opponent that Britain fears very much. This giant polar bear has an extraordinary greed for land, from Europe to Asia and even extending its arms to North America. The entire northern hemisphere has already occupied the entire high latitudes …"

"During the Crimean War period, the Sand Country exposed their greed towards the Warm Water Port. So the polar bear is going down into the sea? This is a direct challenge to the interests of the United Kingdom, so the war broke out, and that war of modern significance declared the end of the Middle Age! "

"Britain has always been wary of Russia. As long as there is someone who can stop its rise, Britain will be happy to see that happen, including a small race in Asia, the Chinese people!"

Xiao Letian explained the thousand years of conflict between the European Ocean Civilization and the Mainland Civilization, and even briefly described the conflicts between the Orthodox Church, the Catholic Church, and the Protestantism s.

The entire history of Europe was as clear as the palm of his hand. The young Emperor Tongzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his reverence for his master increased even further.

Sir Ai Liguo was also very shocked. He gradually caught a whiff of a conspiracy from this extremely calm explanation. This was something that the old cunning fox had developed over the years at the negotiating table.

Sure enough, when Xiao Letian finished narrating the importance of the war between China and Russia, his words suddenly changed.

"But now, some of the British have thought of something. They saw the Chinese successfully annihilate the Russian fleet, and suddenly realized that their previous judgement was wrong …"

"Hehe, many people want a lose-lose situation. They want the blood of both sides to dry, and the wounds will not heal for decades. Only by doing so will it be in the interests of the United Kingdom!"

"I never thought that the Chinese would actually use such a beautiful ambush to break the wishful thinking of some people, so they panicked a little and wanted to change their previous strategy …" "Look, isn't my conjecture very bold?"
