C2240 Hedonist King of Golden Age

A hundred years later, the Home Note team who was in charge of Xiao Letian's daily records, the CIA code name 'Secret file', had once announced a batch of top-secret records of the Patriarch.

Amongst them was a group of people written by Wang Junlan himself, who were at the top of the Chinese secret meeting. These were the words spoken by the leader on his way to England, and most of them were the core secrets of the time.

There were a few words that made the European Historian sigh endlessly. They all expressed that if the news of what they had said were to spread and let the British royal family know, the Queen would probably personally order the killing of Xiao Letian. They would not spare him any face.

This was Xiao Letian's evaluation of the Queen and the Crown Prince. Although his evaluation of them was harsh, his descendants still thought that it was true.

"Who exactly are the Queen Victoria and the Crown Prince Edward in essence? In my eyes, they are essentially the same... "

"Edward is basically a hedonist in a prosperous era, but what about the Queen? In truth, he is just a rich king in a prosperous world. In the end, he is still around the same as the dryad, it is better for him to be reincarnated! "

"Think about it, the year Queen Victoria ascended the throne? It was 1837! At that time, England had established her own world order and had become the world's number one. She had only stood on the shoulders of giants to create such brilliance … "

"For example, with a ship full of sails and full of wind, as long as the captain guarantees that he doesn't make any mistakes, the wind will naturally blow smoothly. The glory of the Victorian era is in fact due to the accumulation of knowledge from the ancestors of hundreds of years ago, which gave rise to the glory of the Queen Victoria!"

"This is the difference between being able to be reborn and not being able to be reborn!"

"Think about it carefully. Before the Queen ascended the throne, who was the last hero who could threaten Britain? Of course it's Napoleon, but Napoleon passed away in 1821, and from then on, no one with great talent could threaten England anymore.

"As for Edward? I can't even be bothered to judge him. From the moment he was born, he accepted the idea that Britain was the strongest, strongest, and strongest in the world! "

"You can understand it just by looking at those pampered young masters from rich families. They didn't experience any setbacks. The sufferings of their ancestors were nothing more than a bunch of words on a history book. They didn't experience anything like that …"

"It's okay, Edward didn't develop to the point where he doesn't eat meat, but he has the bones of a hedonist in such a prosperous life, it's still enough! "Because England is so powerful, you can't imagine how much pride the English elite has in their hearts at this time!"

"This kind of atmosphere has both good and bad sides to us Chinese people. The good side is arrogance, and our vigilance towards danger is not high. As long as you find the right way, you can secretly develop under the influence of the British Empire …"

"But the bad part is that they are arrogant and conceited. Due to their excessive arrogance, they will make many unreasonable demands. If you reject these people, then their revenge will also be very fierce!"

"That's why you have to put in the best of your effort and try to establish a personal friendship with him. You're just a bunch of donkeys who follow the rules. As long as you know how to use skills, dealing with them is still very easy …"

It was just this sentence that caused the future English Historian to sigh, "What kind of monster is he? If he were to meet such an opponent in his life, how unfortunate would he be!"

She succeeded in making the Queen promise to be neutral, obtained Edward's personal friendship, and through the binding of benefits, managed to establish a business partnership with most of the aristocracy's elites in Britain.

Xiao Letian then continued to use a series of cultural promotional events to curry favor with the British people. In Xiao Letian's plans, the food fairs in the slums were held periodically, and the donations from the churches, hospitals and schools were not allowed to stop for even a second.

To rope in the royal family and the nobles, please flatter the lower class citizens, then isolate Benjamin in the political arena, strongly invest in the political enemy Gladstone, and work together to break through the situation, this was a well-balanced strategy that would be hard for outsiders.

Benjamin deeply felt the danger he was in, he was not an idiot. He was sure that Xiao Letian could guess, but it was a pity that this analysis was done behind the scenes, if he had been able to deduce correctly before, he would not have been in such a passive position.

The British Prime Minister's counterattack was also very sharp. The Separating Tongzhi Emperor supported the Qing Dynasty's power to suppress the Chinese, and then continued to obstruct Chinese diplomatic activities at all times. I will not give you anything you want, as long as it is within my power, you can forget about getting even a little bit of it.

In August 1869, when a thick fog hung over London's political scene, the struggle between the two prime ministers began.

On August 10th, Xiao Letian successfully completed the acquisition of four high-end shops: Wellington Road, Kingsley Road, Waterloo Road, Holborn Street.

Wang Junlan quickly completed the contract for the transfer of ownership with the owner of the shop and reported the tax to the London Revenue Service. When all the taxes were paid, the fourth quarter contract was officially in effect and was protected by English law.

At the same time, the Chinese officially made a request to the British Prime Minister to negotiate, and requested for the exchange of letters. However, they never expected that Benjamin would flatly reject the request for the exchange of letters because the conditions were still immature.

All of a sudden, public opinion was in an uproar, the European newspapers were continuously analyzing the purpose of the British Prime Minister, and all kinds of small rumors were being spread.

In the face of Benjamin's trouble, the Chinese were not afraid at all. Xiao Letian took a step back and asked the Chinese delegation and the members of the British Cabinet to hold a meeting to discuss the future developments of Asia.

Such a proposal was very pertinent. He did not need to sign any treaty or make any declaration. In the end, all he had to do was issue a memorandum.

But he never thought that Benjamin would firmly reject such a request, and the reason for it was even more plentiful. "The development of Asia has its own British Empire and Qing Empire in charge, and it does not need the participation of other warlords!"

Good god, the moment he said that, all the newspapers in Europe exploded into a commotion, and even the Chinese newspapers started shouting at the top of their lungs, "Don't tell me the leader invited by the Queen is just a warlord!"

Throughout the whole August, the Chinese people kept bumping into walls again and again. The only thing Xiao Letian could do every day was to visit some of the more insensitive institutions. The opera house, libraries, museums, monuments … Xiao Letian and his Chinese citizens had become a tour group from the east.

As for the military factories, seaports, research institutes, and military academies … All of them closed their doors to the ship, and the most hateful thing was that even the plan they had made earlier for the ship to view the sea had been suspended due to Benjamin's strong request.

All of a sudden, all the eyes in Europe were focused on London and the two prime ministers!
