Xiao Letian sneered and said, "It is certainly unwise to attract a tiger to kill a wolf. Some people suddenly feel that the Chinese people have the potential to become a hungry tiger, so he is scared. They feel that they cannot let him become bigger..."

"At this time, the success or failure of Tsarist Russia is no longer important. Anyway, the expeditionary fleet is destroyed, and the remaining army will not affect Britain's maritime interests. At this time, Tsarist Russia has become a pitiful little sheep in need of rescue, and the aggressive Chinese, especially the fleet that can destroy Tsarist Russian navy, has become the biggest threat!"

"So some people began to conduct military mobilization. They mobilized warships from various colonies, opened the dusty arsenal for many years, and took out the war funds that had been prepared for a long time... A sudden sneak attack is being previewed!"

"Of course they have reason to do this. Needless to say, the Zhiyuan, which stays on the sea, is a potential threat to the British maritime interests. Do you think they will raise tigers?"

Xiao Letian lightly lit the table with his fingers, "The advantage of quantity is difficult to make up by tactics. Once the Asian Royal Navy is full of its nest, the weak Chinese family's family will inevitably fall into a dilemma... Ryukyu's main island, Ryukyu economic circle, Tanggu, the Chinese Kentun area in Nanyang, and even the supply line in the Far East, these will be the targets of the British Navy's attack..."

"Anyway, this kind of pirate-like behavior has been used more than once in history by Britain and was competing with Spain for the Atlantic route, didn't you do that?"

"Of course, there is another very important target. You will stare at Zhiyuan, either sink or injure, or block it directly in the port so that it will never dare to go to sea... Well, you have many people, you are so powerful!"

Papa... A monotonous applause sounded, and Ai Liguo smiled so brightly that he was excitedly applauding the story.

"It's so wonderful, it's so wonderful. I have to admit that if I were twenty years younger, I would have been bewitched by you and think that your story is true and profound!"

"The wonderful thing about your story is that you use a very convincing value to deduce it. In fact, in the battle between great powers, the transformation between enemies and friends is very fast. There is no eternal friend but only eternal interests. I didn't expect you to understand this thoroughly..."

"But after all, this is still a story, not a fact, right? Hahaha, when our Royal Navy did not fire the first shot, your story will always be a joke..."

"Is this a minister admitting this plan in disguise?" The monk Long Shi was beating the snake and chasing him closely with the stick.

Ai Liguo looked at the monk in surprise, and the military officer beside him quickly whispered a few words, then he suddenly realized, "Ah! Ryuma Sakamoto? An outstanding Japanese reformist, a double-profile spy who lured the French into the trap! I heard that you are still an excellent swordsman? Is it amazing, you actually became a monk?"

Ai Liguo shrugged indifferently, "Before things happen, any story will always be a story. Who can blame us with a story?"

"Don't forget that we have a treaty with the Qing Dynasty. On the coast of the Qing Dynasty, our British Royal Navy can act freely. This is our power, right? Hahaha..."

The laughter angered many soldiers present. The Chinese army is the most educated army in Asia and even the world. This is actually a major reason why Xiao Letian has never been able to expand his army on a large scale. Ordinary soldiers can read two thousand words, and middle-level officers have already started to learn foreign languages.

The officers present could basically understand Ai Liguo's words. It was so arrogant and arrogant that they regarded a country's near the sea as their back garden. This shame was simply intolerable.

Xiao Letian let Ai Liguo laugh there, no joy or sorrow, it was like watching a clown. Ai Liguo felt embarrassed in just three minutes. He put away his mockery and looked at Xiao Letian, "That's it? The Prime Minister asked me to meet on this deserted island just to tell me a story? It's really a waste of time..."

Xiao Letian was happy and laughed very happily. "The story just now doesn't look exciting enough! Then I'll give you the second story to see if you are interested?"

After saying that, there was no need for Ai Liguo to respond to Xiao Letian drinking a sip of wine and moisten his throat and continued to say "At the end of the first story, the senior officials who conspired to organize the sneak attack were already ready for the war, but they suddenly discovered something very strange, that is, they had not received domestic military authorization for a long time..."

"What's going on?"

With a crisp sound, Ai Liguo slapped the table and said, "Shameless! Do you dare to monitor the British Embassy? You are declaring war..."

"Oh oh oh... don't be so angry. Didn't I just say it? This is a story, which is to relieve you this afternoon. Why do you take it seriously? Do you say that my story is true? You have admitted everything in the story?"

"Sover... you are a rogue!" Ai Liguo groaned with his back teeth.

"Look at what you mean, don't want to listen to the story? Well, I won't tell you. Let's drink, drink... Come on, let's talk about the most beautiful one in the Eight Hutongs, okay? The minister must have gone there a lot, hahaha..."

Everyone was amused by Xiao Letian's scoundrel, while the British side was angry and wanted to draw their guns. However, seeing that the number of Chinese Marines around them was the dominant, the group of soldiers could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger.

Ai Liguo took several deep breaths before calming down. He brought the unique signature smile of diplomats, "Okay, I apologize to the Prime Minister, can we continue that story..."

"Do you want to listen? Are you sure you want to listen? Will you not slap the table in anger after listening? Why am I a little afraid to believe you? Do you want to write a guarantee letter to not get angry first..."

"Enough!" Ai Liguo was completely angry. "Xiao Letian! Don't forget that you are the prime minister of the Chinese. Can you communicate politely in language that matches your identity?"

"Okay... I'm defeated by you, I really don't have any sense of humor! Since you want to know that story, then I'll tell you!"

"By the way, those conspirators who have been in the dark room have been in trouble, they think no one can know their little abacus, but they simply can't imagine that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind them, and there is actually a conspiracy outside the conspiracy to trap them..."

"Think about it carefully, why has the number of telegrams sent back from Europe obviously decreased in the past month? Is there something big in Europe?"

Note: I would like to remind many readers not to use the ending you imagined to judge the development of this book, especially the relationship between Xiao Letian and Tongzhi. I will tell you clearly that all your guesses are wrong.

I won't give you spoilers, so I won't debate with you. Read books with peace of mind. You don't need to remind you how cruel the revolution is.

Let me make a statement again. This book has been said countless times. The Qing Dynasty will definitely die in the end. In this book, the country will die. If you don’t know the word, go to the cram school for two more days. Don’t talk nonsense about the protagonist. What will the protagonist continue the life of the Qing Dynasty? Your eye can see that the protagonist is a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty? That plot tells the story of the protagonist’s life to prolong the Qing Dynasty?
