C2297 strident speech

Saying that, Xiao Letian suddenly became silent, he slowly sipped the cold red wine, the knife and fork in his hand cut off a small piece of tender beef, but the fork remained in his mouth.

Gladstone was not used to this weird behavior. That's it? Was there nothing after that? You don't seem to have officially answered my question? "

Xiao Letian laughed bitterly and threw the meat and fork back onto the plate. This was very rude during the dining etiquette, but Gladstone only looked at him and did not say anything.

"Don't tell me that you have not heard me say this clearly? This isn't your style! Good... Since you insist on listening to my ugliness, then don't blame me for having a venomous tongue! "

After raising his head and drinking the wine in his cup, Xiao Letian wiped his mouth with a napkin, "Just now, I have already analyzed the key point of Britain's gradually acquiring maritime rights. Actually, it is not only the war with Spain, but also against France."

"Napoleon can be said to be a once in a while talent, but he's just a genius commander. In the economic battles between the two countries, France has always been at a disadvantage!"

"Like I said before, even Napoleon's soldiers wear military uniforms and buy British goods! "This is the magic of a market economy. It can even transcend nations and wars …"

"Anyone of the same quality would choose a cheap commodity. This kind of business behavior is not something the government can stop. As long as the UK can always ensure that its own country's productivity is higher than that of other countries, it will guarantee efficiency!"

"In the competition in the market, whoever controls the cost will have the right to speak. The country's strength will naturally rise as a result!"

"But …" At this moment, Xiao Letian's face turned serious, "But in the last hundred years, the British National Policy has been running erratically!"

"What I just said about increasing the level of science and technology, increasing productivity, and increasing the international competitiveness of our own products all belong to the category of internal energy training. And if a country wants to become strong, that is clearly not enough."

"After Britain officially became the overlord of the sea, your military forces were sent to the whole world. The colonies were established one by one, and the tiny island nation gradually became the British Empire!"

"Granted, colonies are an integral part of the British economy. Get cheap raw materials from the colonies, then use your efficient factories to process them into goods, then dump them into the colonies. This is the game of shearing wool!"

"I have obtained endless benefits from colonizing Britain. The glory of the British Empire is right in front of me. I am not blind, I can see it clearly!"

"But where is the policy of governing a country fixed? When the wheel of history turns to the breaking point, I ask Britain... Are you ready? "

"Breakthrough node?" Gladstone asked.

"That's right, human civilization is not a constant. The development of science and technology is always moving forward, especially when the Age of Reason arrives. The basic natural sciences are flourishing, so the explosion of practical science and technology will be accelerated as soon as possible!"

"I had once written about this concept in the Journey to the West. I believe that the industrial civilization brought about by the steam engine can only be considered early stage Industrial Revolution, or perhaps, it's the first time that a Industrial Revolution has …"

"It has been a hundred years and there is not much room for improvement in the steam engine technology. Do you really think that in the future, there won't be any new technology to replace the steam engine technology?"

"I believe that you also have the same sharp eyes. At this moment, the development of science and technology has reached a bottleneck, because there are already signs of a breakthrough in the theoretical realm!"

"How many people are working on electricity in the lab? How many laboratories are refining oil? Forget about the others, if there were no advanced scientific theories supporting us, then there would no longer be any Zhiyuan Warship warships anchoring on the Thames River! "

"Since we are all experts, I will not speak any more foreign language. Are you ready to face the unknown Second Industrial Revolution yourself?"

Xiao Letian's passionate speech was deafening. Gladstone's face flushed red, and all the elites of the empire who were eavesdropping also felt humiliated.

"Mr. Xiao, I think your words are a bit too exaggerated. There are a plethora of talents in the British Empire, and all the academies have the smartest brains in the world. Our scientists are not inferior to any of the races!"

"Your reasoning is an insult to us! I want to protest strongly! Although I agree with your unique theory of Second Industrial Revolution for the first time, but I still have to tell you, even if there is a Second Industrial Revolution, he must be under my British leadership! "

"British Empire will never fall behind! We will always be the leaders of the world! "

Xiao Letian looked at the proud Gladstone and couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha …" Sure enough, I knew you'd be angry before I brought it up, you arrogant British cows of hundreds of years! "How could he admit defeat …"

"But today, I must teach you all a lesson. I will smash your arrogance and let you all know where the weakness of your thoughts lies. I will let you all know what it means to be dark under the lamp, and where the weakness that you all cannot see is!"

"If I'm not wrong, then I can accept any of your punishments. Even if I lose my life here, I will not complain!"

"But …" Xiao Letian clenched his teeth and said fiercely: "If I'm right, you all cannot refuse to accept this! "Then from now on, keep all your arrogance and negotiate with me on equal footing!"

What an arrogant Xiao Letian, Gladstone's face changed, he knew that his words would anger the eavesdroppers.

Indeed, the Empire's elites who were at the side of the Crown Prince were so angry that their noses were about to turn crooked. They wanted to stand up and throw a tantrum, but Crown Prince Edward held their hands tightly.

He lowered his voice and said, "How come the elites of British Empire do not even have the courage to listen to these harsh words?"

"I …" Everyone was momentarily at a loss for words and returned to their seats, "Alright, I'll listen to what he has to say! "If it's just trying to attract attention, then I will use my actions to show him that I'm regretting it!"

It was getting late, and the first wave of guests on the first floor of Berkeley's Restaurant had already finished their meals and returned to their own homes. The servants at the entrance smiled as they sent their guests away, and the clothes in the cloakroom were dwindling, while the tips in the servants' pockets were also increasing.

Just then, a black carriage sped along the Embankment Road. The carriage had a very ordinary design but it actually had a small royal symbol on it. Furthermore, the horse pulling the carriage was a very tall and sturdy Arabian horse.

The pedestrians and cars on the road all dodged to the side, but no one knew why the carriage was traveling so fast.

"Hurry, stop at the entrance of the Berkeley's Restaurant! "Don't worry about the traffic order, this is the royal family's carriage. If there's any problem, you can go negotiate with the police. I don't care too much about that!"
