C3360 Xiao Letian's lobbyist

Gladstone's mouth was wide open, but he could not say anything. Xiao Letian just spoke a few words to force him into a dead end.

Aren't you in England awesome? If that's the case, then stick out for Spain, help Spain defeat the Philippines, and send the Expeditionary forces deep into the rainforest to fight against the Chinese guerrillas!

The British are not so stupid. They are a very smart bunch of businessmen.

First of all, the relationship between Britain and Spain was not very good.

Later on, France conquered Spain, and the Franco-Western Alliance began a century-long competition with Britain. Of course, the final victor would naturally be Britain.

British nationals had no basis in feeling for Spain, and if Gladstone really helped Spain in the war, his own voters would have to impeach him to death.

It was impossible to send troops directly, but what about indirect support? This might not be possible, because the British Military experts were more professional and their analysis of the war was more pessimistic.

The Luzon was a rainforest island with a tropical climate.

The Chinese had launched a rebellion against the millions of Chinese in the Luzon. They were all aboriginals who had lived in the Philippines for two to three hundred years.

They were very familiar with the mountain forests. If they fought for a long period of time, how long would the Expeditionary forces in Europe drag it out?

The Army was never a strong force in Britain, let alone a war in the hellish rain forest. How many young British men would have to die in order to achieve their strategic goals?

The claims of the British were in the sea, and more so on the maritime trade routes. As long as no one challenged the interests of the British, they would not die for those who were not related to them.

The Chinese clearly did not harm Britain's marine interests at the moment. Due to the existence of Chinese, many ports in Asia were developing very well. Many high quality goods from the interior of China were also excavated through Chinese hands.

Xiao Letian had indeed given the British businessman a lot of preferential treatment in the business world, so when it came to declaring war on the Chinese, the British capital did not agree with it.

After all, this was just a blackmail from the British leadership. They had never intended to use force from the very beginning!

Xiao Letian had accurately touched Gladstone's pulse, he knew that even if the Prime Minister went crazy and wanted to start a war, his proposal should not be passed through the House of Commons!

No one cared whether the Spaniard lived or died, the Chinese did not care, nor the UK!

Gladstone never thought that Xiao Letian would actually be willing to spend ten million on the Luzon, and also never thought that that idiot A Madiao the First was actually willing to sell them.

A Madiao had haggled for 10 million pounds in the bidding price. To be honest, this price was not expensive at all!

Buying an entire Philippines with such a small amount of money, what a great deal this business was!

However, Gladstone was unwilling to give up. The final victor in this encirclement against the Chinese was the Queen, and he had to fight to the bitter end for her sake.

"Xiao Letian, you seem to have forgotten that Yi Suobeila has a say as well!" the Prime Minister threatened.

"Oh? Since when did the Queen step down and intervene in the government? This is the rule of Europe... " Xiao Letian said faintly.

Gladstone snorted, "Hmph …" Those who step down from the throne can also go up on the stage. It's not certain who will be the final one to take the throne! "

Xiao Letian shrugged his shoulders, "Then I shall wait and see …"

As if ignoring a pile of trash, Gladstone left Government of Spain's delegation and turned his gaze towards the three representatives that Queen Yi Suobeila had sent.

Xiang Ying's face immediately became pale. He realized that the situation was bad and that he had messed up his first time doing diplomacy. Yi Suobeila had even messed with her subjects.

On that night when the sea breeze was biting cold, the fat pig-like Queen was standing in the strong wind in the courtyard, cursing at Xiang Ying!

The scene was vivid, and when Xiang Ying thought back to it now, he still felt extremely disgusted!

He almost let that sow rape him. This matter could be said to be the shame of Xiang Ying's life!

However, seeing that the British used this as an excuse to attack the Chinese using the Spanish question, Xiang Ying felt a little regretful. Isn't it just the past? '

'Why didn't you hold it in? 'It's not like I'm missing a piece of meat. This is really a big deal! '

Gladstone looked at the goatee. "I want to hear the queen's attitude to this war!"

The goatee stood up and nodded to everyone present. Then he took out a note from his suit pocket. "I have brought the Queen's handwritten letter. The Queen expresses her deep concern about this Philippine War …"

The outgoing Queen of Spain was concerned about the war, while the current Queen of Buckingham Palace was more concerned about the diplomatic negotiations, but at the moment the Queen Victoria and the Crown Prince were receiving guests they thought were familiar with.

The crown prince's eyes were filled with a light that all men understood. The woman sitting opposite him drinking tea was truly elegant. From the side, the curve of her neck was as graceful as a swan's.

Princess Cissie, the top beauty of Europe, had become Xiao Letian's lobbyist!

After putting down the black tea, Princess Cissie waved her fan and smiled at the Queen, "Your Majesty, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. We won't talk much more …"

Queen Victoria was an old European grandmother. His children were married to the royal families from all over Europe, and her parents ruled the Bavaria.

From the lineage of their parents, Princess Cissie and Queen are related by blood!

In fact, in that era, all of the high-ranking aristocrats in Europe, especially the royal family, were related by blood ties. Otherwise, why would the later stages of hemophilia be so popular, it was all due to the marriage of close relatives.

Princess Cissie was truly the best person to be the lobbyist. She did not need to use any diplomatic words, and just like how relatives would chat with each other, she could just throw out the diplomatic question.

"Your Majesty, I have sent a message from Xiao Letian … He already knows the rules of the game set by the British Empire, and he is willing to govern within the rules set by Her Majesty! "

"Your Majesty, I ask you to be at ease. He definitely has no intention of challenging the absolute rule of the British Empire … Even Xiao Letian said that in the future, his navy can only operate in the Pacific Ocean.

Before the Queen could say anything, the Crown Prince's eyes lit up, "Is that true?" Xiao Letian really expressed his opinion like that? "

Without waiting for Princess Cissie's reply, the Queen waved her hands, "I don't want to hear what Xiao Letian has to say, I just want to see what he is prepared to do!"
