C2154 The Queen's Meditation

Information! Information! At this moment, Xiao Letian was at a disadvantage of having a weak European intelligence network. Although the foundation led by King Yi and Fang Guan had successfully established an efficient intelligence network in Europe, and had also discovered many important secrets.

However, the time was still too short. A skyscraper was not built in a day, especially for an important target like the Queen. The Chinese intelligence network did not have any clues, and they could not find any valuable clues.

If Xiao Letian knew that a document that had been drafted by Gladstone had received the attention of the Queen on the Queen's desk, then his plan would definitely be more bold.

Inside Buckingham Palace, the well-dressed Queen sat on a chair and closed her eyes to rest. Her Attendant would report on the progress of the envoy every five minutes.

From the mouth of the Thames to the Tower Bridge, everything that happened was witnessed by the Queen.

How Benjamin had made things difficult for Xiao Letian, how Gladstone had destroyed his position, how Xiao Letian had dealt with everything, Zai Chun's outstanding speech, everything was within the Queen's absolute control.

The 50-year-old queen was at the peak of her political life. While most people thought that she was already in her late years, to a politician, she was still in her prime.

After half a century of studying and accumulating experience, her control over the political situation had already reached a proficient level. Adding to that, her long term rule over the entire kingdom, as well as the officials and nobles, had all been single-handedly promoted by her.

With her vast experience in the field of direct line officials, the Queen's power was almost limitless. Although the current England was a constitutional monarchy, everyone knew that the prestige of the Queen had long surpassed that of the Constitution.

The Queen could overturn any Prime Minister's decision with a single sentence. She could even directly remove the Cabinet from the government without the need to worry about the public's rebound. She could say that whatever the Queen wanted to do, she didn't need to find any reason.

Actually, most of the people in the British Parliament did not agree with First Opium War's decision. Later on, it was the Queen who openly supported sending out the army, which affected a large number of the members at the most crucial moment.

The queen, who was resting with her eyes closed, listened to her subordinate's report. Even the old geezers in the political field, who had been cultivating for many years, felt a little excited at this moment.

This was how humans were. When her power had already reached the peak of the world and there was no one on Earth as powerful as her, she would naturally consider the matter of reputation behind her.

Since he had no way to keep up with his authority, his greed for prestige naturally rose!

Although the Queen looked calm on the surface, she was actually more eager than anyone else to succeed at this diplomatic event.

"This is the emperor of China taking the initiative to put me on display! I am the first King in the history of Europe to have received an audience from the Emperor of China, and I am even a woman! "

"A cause that all European emperors and generals could not accomplish, a great feat that all European men would not even dare dream of! Today is going to come true in my hands, I'm looking forward to it! "I truly look forward to it …"

The subordinates of the Queen were unaware of the Queen's inner turmoil, only the most sensitive subordinate would be able to find out what was going on. When the Queen heard that France and Shaos were actually attacking the Chinese like mad dogs in the St. Paul's Cathedral, her eyebrows actually twitched a few times.

It was very, very minute. Only those who knew the Queen best would be able to notice such a small change.

The Queen opened her eyes and glanced at the file cabinet beside the desk. Inside was a copy of Gladstone's Oriental report, detailing a series of changes to the Chinese nation.

Amongst them, Gladstone greatly praised the compulsory education of the Chinese people, and even the leader of the Liberal Party used the term "Great".

"Xiao Letian's Chinese nation was the first country to establish compulsory education. In the area controlled by the Bulbus Glazed Island and the Chinese, compulsory education was already enshrined in the Constitution …"

"All Chinese survivors must enter an official school to conduct basic education after they are six years old, and every family only has to pay a symbolic tuition. If it's really difficult, the local government will even provide some educational subsidies …"

"No one dares to disobey Xiao Letian's orders, as long as there are families that have violated the compulsory education laws, they will be severely punished!"

"The first warning, the second time it was subject to a high fine, the third time if the parents still obstruct the child's education, they will be punished by expulsion!"

"Under such severe punishment, no one in the entire Chinese clan would dare to hinder the advancement of education. The atmosphere for knowledge in the entire Chinese clan has already far surpassed that of the British Empire …"

"We can foresee that in ten years, the Chinese people will have an endless supply of talents, and the quality of their people will experience a tremendous change!"

"As for my British Empire, the compulsory education has only been placed in the folder of some representatives. The entire society is completely immersed in the illusory prosperity of eating old books …"

"Talent!" "Although what drives the era is the hard work of the citizens, it is also the work of top-notch talents to guide the citizens, and only education can ensure that the Empire has more and more talented people!"

"The Chinese say we live in peace and security. Although we are already at the top of the world, we are still at the top! Countless nations wish to tear their flesh and blood from our bodies in order to get fat. If British Empire wants to ensure continued prosperity, we must strongly promote compulsory education! "

"This subject and Benjamin do not have any personal grudges, the political ideas between him and I are completely different. I am not opposed to Benjamin's idea of colonization, of course I know the importance of colonization to the British Empire!"

"But please think carefully, Your Majesty. The rule of a country has always been balanced. There has never been a path that goes wrong. The speed of expansion has been too fast. A lot of power has been expended. There is already a disharmony between input and output …"

"Do we have to continue?" Continue ignoring the construction of Infrastructure s such as education, medical treatment, livelihood and so on? to continue to invest money in the expansion of the colony? "

"Do we have to watch idly as the Chinese store up a large amount of talents year after year?"

"The empire has reached a point that needs to be changed. The conflicts between this subject and Benjamin revolved around this point!"

The Queen closed her eyes again, and Gladstone's words kept appearing in his mind. Every word that came out of her mouth was enough to make the Queen tremble with fear.

"To live in peace! The Chinese description was really good! The time for the Empire to live in peace and security is about to come! "
