The truth is already very clear. This time, Xiao Letian not only cleansed himself, but also cleansed Gladstone.

No one can say that you are an ambitious person. Didn’t Benjamin call you a conspirator? Today I will break all the truth and tell you that you are not an ambitious person, you are not a greedy person who is drooling at the Prime Minister’s throne.

It’s not what prime minister you need in Gladstone, but the prime minister in the UK needs you!

Once this angle changes, the perspective changes. When the perspective changes, the human heart naturally changes. In the past, the elites of the empire still had a sense of arrogance when they saw Gladstone, but now when they think back to what they did before, a sense of shame arises.

Gladstone had lobbyed for them more than once about his political philosophy, and had repeatedly explained his ideal of diligent internal affairs, but at that time everyone thought he was just a politician who cheated money.

If it weren't for his rapid development of the Liberal Party and his outstanding eloquence and ability, who would have paid attention to him?

Over the years, the actual controllers of the empire, hiding in the shadows, watching these politicians jumping up and down, have faced the mentality of the superiors looking at the beggars.

All these business operations, financial oligarchs, and aristocratic powerhouses think that politicians are just puppets in their hands. Without them secretly supporting the hype, would this group of guys who only know how to play with the verbal advantage still want to come to power?

But today, Xiao Letian's words completely overturned the arrogance in their hearts. When the situation peeled off layers of skin and exposed the cruel truth inside, everyone was shocked and sweated.

"It turns out that we almost became sinners of the empire. It turns out that there are really hidden dangers in the prosperous era!"

No one can refute Xiao Letian's truth, because they have actually felt this crisis in their work and life, but no one can summarize the rules in a high-level way like Xiao Letian.

Especially those factory owners, they are very aware of their own and their competitors' status. The boilers in the factory have been updated for many generations, the scale of spinning machines is getting bigger and bigger, more complex, and the requirements for locomotive processing parts are getting higher and higher.

They have actually felt the changes brought about by technological progress, and they have also discovered that senior blue-collar workers are becoming increasingly scarce at this moment.

There is not a good job, but there are no suitable people. Every day, the factory is filled with extremely poor and unemployed people who want to find a job, but if you choose one or two hundred people, you may not be able to choose one suitable one.

Even the basic literacy rate cannot be guaranteed. Even if you want to spend money to train them to operate new machines, you can’t! You don’t even recognize words, how should you train this?

Industrial and commercial leaders were deeply pondered, and bankers in the financial industry were sweating coldly because they controlled the issuance of Imperial bonds. Over the past decade, the yields of bonds issued in the UK have shown a downward trend year by year.

This is especially true for the government bonds issued because of the war. People’s enthusiasm for purchasing is not as good as before, and the returns of bonds are getting lower and lower, which proves what Xiao Letian just said.

"The entire earth has almost been divided up, and the rest are barren land with disproportionate input and output. If Britain wants to colonize these places, then wait and lose its underwear!"

War is actually a business, and war also has to be considered investment and output. If 100 million military spending is spent, even if you can win a battle, can this new colony make back the 100 million yuan in the future?

You said you could make money back, how many years would it take? Ten years or eight years or one hundred years? The investment is large, the effect is slow, and there is even the possibility of falling into the bottomless pit of defense funding, which is a loss of money.

"What a powerful head of the East. The British industry, business and finance industry had just emerged and he was keenly caught. This man is so terrible!"

This is the first time they sincerely called Xiao Letian as the head of state. The respect contained in this sentence cannot deceive people.

Xiao Letian was finally sure that the pot of water in the UK had finally boiled. It was possible for Gladstone to look at him with such a shocked expression, which means that all this had completely touched his heart.

"Yes, Mr. Gladstone, I can understand your ideals, but there are countless people in Britain who don't understand you. They are ambitious people who fight for power, but that's all the hearts of villains!"

"There are unknown deep reasons for your success, but it is actually because a potential force contained in the lowest level of British society has chosen you and you, the reformist faction!"

"Don't look at me like this. I, Xiao Letian, are not an ambitious person. I don't want to and dare to have any intentions in the UK. I just keenly discovered this change and found you accurately!"

"I'm like a gambler, betting on you all my bets! That's all... Why do you still think of me like this? Do you think I have the ability to subvert the political situation in Britain? Are you so unconfident?"

"I have clearly seen the inevitability of historical development, so I naturally have to follow the winners closely... Although you, the winner, do not have 100% confidence at this moment, I have! In my heart, you have already positioned you as the next British Prime Minister..."

"The reform of the Empire of the Sun never sets is destined to be launched in your hands, and the glory of the next hundred years should be written by you!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Letian shrugged and poured himself a glass of wine. "I know you will win, but I won't bet quickly? Could it be that I'll bet on Benjamin? Forget it, my negotiations with Benjamin ended in the afternoon and were not at the same level of thinking at all, and it was a waste of time when talking to each other!"

Gladstone smiled, this time with a relaxed smile from the heart. This was the first time he said that Xiao Letian had regarded him as an equal negotiator, without his previous arrogant attitude.

He was very grateful to Xiao Letian because he knew that he could not even speak this truth. If this truth could not convince those eavesdroppers, then the empire would have no hope.

When I walked towards the high position of Prime Minister, the last hurdle was actually filled by this Chinese. This is really a miracle given by God!

Just for this kindness, I have to protect you... In fact, there is no need for me to protect you. The truth you said from your mouth is now passed to the ears of those imperial elites.

If you can convince me, you can convince them!

Xiao Letian, your most dangerous difficulty has finally passed. I dare not say anything else, at least your life has been saved!
Chapter completed!
