C2051 The eloquent Duke of Newcastle

Duke of Newcastle was startled, he never thought that Xiao Letian would actually use such a logic to refute him, this was completely unexpected.

In the eyes of the arrogant Europeans, science and technology were their patents. The Asian was a group of farmers and herdsmen.

What do these barbaric pagan s know about the idea of day? What is Newton's law? They didn't even want to admit that the earth was round!

Science and technology were completely isolated from the East. No scientific breakthroughs were possible on that piece of land, and anyone who could replicate in such a manner was considered a genius.

However, Xiao Letian had displayed an extremely ambitious plan to him today. Could it be that Xiao Letian not only wanted to learn European technology, but also break through on this basis?

Duke of Newcastle was a smart person and had received an extremely high education. Although he was not a scientist, he was not unfamiliar with the scientific system.

If what Xiao Letian said was true, then the decision he made would not be hard to explain.

Using the Universal brand standard, buying equipment from all over the world, and letting China's technology workers adapt to research, this is a breakthrough in technology!

Although there would be a lot of confusion and inadaptation at the beginning, it was precisely the convergence and collision of many styles that produced the spark of inspiration.

Xiao Letian was actually so ambitious? The Chinese still want to make a technological breakthrough? Hahaha, what a joke! I don't believe it, I definitely don't believe it!

At this critical moment, European aristocracy's arrogance rose again. He shook his head and said to Xiao Letian: "Haha, the Head of the Guards hope that the country will be rich and strong is worthy of praise, but there's no need … …"

The Duke then turned to look at Zai Chun, "Your Majesty, Britain has always been Great Qing's best friend. I can assure you, no matter what kind of equipment you like in England, we will sell it to you without hiding anything."

"Our engineers will help you debug your equipment and train your workers. We guarantee that you will be able to see the production of industrial products as soon as possible … Efficiency is money! "

Just as they were talking, the Director Wang behind Xiao Letian suddenly spoke up, "Esteemed Duke, I have a disagreement with you … According to what you have said, all the equipment in Great Qing is bought, wouldn't that become a blessing? "

"If a person doesn't stand on their own feet, they won't be able to walk very far, right?"

Duke of Newcastle frowned slightly. He did not expect that someone would interrupt him at this kind of occasion. "Who is this mister?"

"Wang Huaiyuan... The Director Wang Lord, in charge of handling the public information in the diplomatic mission … " Xiao Letian introduced with a smile.

"Hiss …" Duke sucked in a breath of cold air, and said with surprise in his heart, "This is the person in charge of CIA? A series of Chinese victories all depended on his intelligence support? "He really is an expert. The moment he opened his mouth, he immediately asked for an idea …"

Duke nodded at Director Wang with a standard diplomat's smile, "Welcome to Britain, honorable Director Wang Head … "Your worries are unnecessary. Britain and Daqing have a very close and friendly relationship. As I said before, we will definitely not hide anything from Daqing …"

"No matter the technology or equipment, I am willing to share it with the Great Qing! Even if it's military technology, we will still share it! My dear Majesty, with the scientific and technological support of our British Empire, I believe that there is no problem at all for our Great Qing to rule over East Asia! "

Zai Chun's eyes lit up, "Really? Are you telling the truth? All technologies can be shared... Is this your attitude or is this the attitude of the Prime Minister? Or is that the queen's attitude? "

Duke of Newcastle laughed, "My most respected Majesty, why do you have so many misgivings? Are you doubting the friendship between our two countries? "

"Yes, there have been some conflicts and unpleasantness in our history, but don't take it too seriously. We Europeans often have wars of our own …"

"For example, France. We had once fought against them during the Hundred Years War, and also had a web encirclement aimed at Napoleon … But what could he do? After the war ends, we still have to work together. The people of the two countries should get married and continue their relationship as usual! "

"The British Empire and the Great Qing Empire are actually the same. build friendship in conflict, achieve the balance of a country, and finally rule the world together... Do you know that we, the British, do not have any territorial claims to the Great Qing? "

"Hahaha, my lord, have you forgotten? Forgive me for speaking bluntly about the Great Qing Customs Office under He De's leadership, but it is said that it is the only department in the country that does not have any corruption, and the amount of silver that they hand over to the Great Qing Treasury every year is no less than 10 million! "

"Isn't that a sign of our friendship? In the treaties, we recognize the sovereignty of the Great Qing, and we even recognize the authority of the Great Qing over the Subordinate States! "

"Annan, Korea, Ryukyu, Mongolia … For all the countries under the Great Qing, we would all recognize this relationship. Isn't this equivalent to us admitting the dominance of the Great Qing Empire in Asia? "

"If the trust Your Majesty has for us is not enough, then it would make everyone's hearts go cold. Your Majesty will definitely be sad!" What a good guy! Duke of Newcastle was simply the possession of an Oscars, these words were full of emotion.

Especially the last few words that he felt wronged about, they even moved Xiao Letian. When had Zai Chun ever met such an opponent?

"No, no, no …" "Of course I believe in Britain and the Queen. This time, I will come to England to observe many of your industrial areas. I believe that our cooperation will be very happy!"

Bad... Xiao Letian's heart skipped a beat as he thought, "An expert! Zai Chun definitely cannot interact with him any further, this is on a different level, why can't he just let us play with him? "

But you can't refute Duke of Newcastle's words, the contract was written in black and white, the customs department was indeed regulated very well by He De, and Xiao Letian believed that the British would definitely give Zai Chun a big benefit this time.

Even if the young Zai Chun knew that there was a hook in the meat, he would still bite.

Since he couldn't refute the Duke openly, he could only wait for his private time to slowly educate Zai Chun. Right now, the most important thing was to change the topic.

"Hahaha …" We understand Your Grace, we are very grateful for your kindness, and would like to know if the island in front of us is Huai Te Island or not. "Have we reached the military port …"

"Yes, esteemed leader, Huai Te Island is just right in front of us, and Portsmouth Army Port is just north of the island … Look, those black spots should be the battleships in training.
