Crazy, arrogant, arrogant. This is what the Count Derby thinks now. You, Xiao Letian, are just the prime minister of Ryukyu. The population of the entire island country may not be able to reach more than 500,000. It is considered to be the chief of the local buns in a county to praise you.

What is there in Ryukyu? What is there besides the favorable terrain on a sea? There is no coal and iron resources at all. Even grain must be imported every year. What else is there except for the better scenery?

Let’s talk about your Lotte Foreign Company. Earl Derby also admits that it is really very difficult to have such an alien in the East Asian financial system. A foreign company created by purely Chinese has gradually taken shape as a bank. There is even a lot of information feedback. Many of the business of this foreign company is illegal.

Well...of course. For the Earl of Derby, as long as you do not harm the interests of the British Empire, it doesn't matter whether you violate the laws of the Qing Dynasty.

But no matter how good Lotte Foreign Company is, it is just a foreign company. Being rich does not mean power. The competition between countries does not only look at the indicator of money. Science and technology, culture, people's education level, military scale and modernization must be comprehensively considered.

You, Xiao Letian, are a group of local county magistrates and local rich people. Today I dare to talk to me about becoming a bridgehead for East Asia. You still want to block the Russians' eastward momentum. Are you really not having a fever?

But this idea was stuck in the heart of the Earl of Derby. He wanted to say it but couldn't say it. Because he felt a very familiar aura from Xiao Letian. He was confident, self-reliant and even a little arrogant. He was so familiar with this temperament. The young captains in the Royal Naval Academy had this aura. The aggressive young nobles in the parliament also had this aura.

Today, a young man who has just emerged from East Asia in the world political arena has the same temperament. We British rely on the reputation of the Empire of the Sun never set. What do you rely on?

Why do you have the temperament that only a strong country politician can have? What makes people angry is that more and faster chapters are invited. But your temperament makes me feel very... very normal.

Frustration. Earl Derby felt a sense of frustration in his heart. The source of this feeling was not Xiao Letian's arrogant words, nor was it because of Xiao Letian's amazing analysis of the world situation.

The source of this sense of frustration is... it is actually Xiao Letian so arrogant. But there is a vague feeling in the Derby's heart. All the arrogance of Xiao Letian actually gives people a natural feeling.

In the life of the Earl of Derby, only a few people gave him this feeling. One was his old friend, the other was the queen of England, and the other was himself.

"Haha... This is the most dramatic negotiation in my life. I am afraid I will never forget the surprise I gave me today. I won't talk about whether your proposal is feasible. I just look at you with arrogance and arrogant spirit. I have the style of three points back then..."

"Very good. No matter what the outcome of the negotiations, you must have received my respect. I think we should have a formal handshake."

The two calm hands were held together. They could feel each other's heat. Of course, they also had their strength.

"Prime Minister, why do you think my proposal is not feasible? What conditions do you think are needed to block the Russians' eastward momentum?" Xiao Letian asked.

Earl Derby took out two cigars and handed them to Xiao Letian. "Okay. Please come more and faster chapters. I won't go around with you anymore. I want to block the Russians. The elite navy, army and modern weapons and equipment. Finally, I need abundant financial resources..."

"Among these conditions, I found that you don't have anything but money. There is no doubt that you don't have a navy. You don't have an army yet... Oh. Please wait for me to talk to me. I know that these officers in your company are excellent..."

Derby pointed to the new army officer who was as silent as a sculpture inside and outside the garden. He said with great emotion, "From the two battles in Europe, the army you trained is very elite, brave and intelligent... But the number is really too small. You brought 300 people to Europe. After two bloody battles, most of the casualties are killed or killed. You should understand the cruelty of the war very clearly..."

"How many such soldiers do you have in Ryukyu? One thousand or eight hundred. The firepower density in modern warfare has become increasingly high. No matter how elite soldiers are, they will only die when facing the bombing of large-caliber artillery."

Derby spat a deep breath of smoke rings and said regretfully, "Navy, you don't have a few people in the Army. Although you have money, you don't have an industrial foundation. You can't even produce shells and bullets by yourself. How can you resist the Russians' pace? I really don't see a trace of victory..."

"Hahaha." Xiao Letian laughed wildly. He polished the matches and lit the cigar. "It's ridiculous. As the Prime Minister of the British Empire, you have just a little bit of level. Your high-level strategic perspective is not at all. Not to mention the perspective that penetrates the fog of history. It seems that you are essentially a gambler..."

"You." Derby was angry at once, "Xiao Letian. I have given you respect now. You don't know how to cherish it. It seems that you really need the Royal Navy to help you wake up..."

Xiao Letian waved his hand indifferently, "Okay. OK... You have threatened me several times with the name of the Royal Navy at noon. You know that I don't eat this set, don't waste your feelings..."

"How Britain rose? I think you know better than me. In the era of European sailing, the earliest star countries were not you Britain, but Portugal and Spain... Then why did you Britain succeed in counterattacking and suppressing the whole world?"

"The core of the problem is nothing more than a word 'industrialization'. Of course the core of industrialization is 'technology'. The industrialization of Britain was the earliest and most successful in the world. I remember that there was such a bizarre little story in history. When Napoleon swept Europe, the military uniforms of his soldiers were all imported from the UK..."

"Hahaha. This is really a joke. Napoleon was defeated by the British in the end. But his military supplies were inseparable from British industrial products. Of course, there is no way to do so. The deeper the industrialization is, the more competitive the prices of industrial products are. Didn't you, Britain, make money by this?"

The Earl of Derby has long forgotten the anger he had just now. He seemed to feel what Xiao Letian was going to say. There was a faint vein that had emerged. But he could not catch it.

Xiao Letian's words changed again. This time the derby Count was even more dizzy. "Dear Count. I wonder if you have studied the American Civil War in the North and South China. And the just-end Pudong-Austrian War."

"I'll do it for you. What kind of new technologies have appeared in these two wars... The back-loading needle-punching rifle will definitely rise. The back-loading rifle cannon will also be the king. There are also telegraph technology, the application of hot air balloons. The use of railways to mobilize large-scale and deep forces..."

"Oh. There are new styles of smokeless gunpowder...submarines. Battleships covering iron armor. Hahaha. Don't hide it from me. Of course, I know that Britain and France are now secretly conducting scientific research. You are now studying covering bulletproof iron armor on warships. I'm right."

The Earl of Derby had already made Xiao Letian stupid. He had an illusion in a trance. He felt that Xiao Letian was not a human at all. He was just a ghost wandering in Europe. Why can't he hide anything from him? He even knew the secret experiment of the Royal Navy.

What Xiao Letian wants is this shocking effect. He struck while the iron was hot and continued, "You should know that under the cover of my identity as a politician, there is another identity that is a scholar. My research on history is very profound. What I am best at is to guess the impact of new technologies on the human world."

"I call the steam engine, Jenny spinning machine, and the industrial change represented by the railway. It is the first industrial revolution. Now..." Xiao Letian suddenly put his mouth on the ear of the British Prime Minister. He lowered his voice and said in a very mysterious tone.

"And now, I have felt the tide of the Second Industrial Revolution. It is rushing towards us quickly... You sniff carefully. Do you smell the wet sea flavor? It is the smell of change. I am very sensitive to it."

This time, the Count Derby met a pure charlatan. He even subconsciously twitched his nose and smelled it very well. Well, let alone. There was really a smell of seafood inside his nose.

Hi. When he lowered his head and came to his senses, he found that the caviar in front of him had been knocked down by the map. No wonder it tasted seafood.

"After saying so much, what do you want to clarify?" Earl Derby's mind was already unreal.

"Haha... It's very simple. I just want to tell you that Britain could defeat the Spanish Invincible Armada back then. Can't we Chinese defeat the Russian Eastern Expeditionary Force? In human history, miracles are always missing. What's more, I have found the key to new technology. You really think I will fight a symmetrical war."

"no, no, no... don't underestimate me. Never underestimate me. I am Xiao Letian. I am accompanied by miracles. What I am best at is fighting asymmetric wars..."

After the negotiations came here, Xiao Letian completely played his trump card. He told the British Prime Minister very clearly not to mess with me, and not to exclude me. On the contrary, you should support me. Because only I, Xiao Letian, is the only person in East Asia who is capable of confronting the Russians.

The Earl of Derby had already understood it. It seemed like a string of thunder had erupted in his heart. His mind was a little ineffective. Even though he had imagined countless ways to deal with him and countless reasons, he did not expect that Xiao Letian would take the opportunity to deal with such strange tricks.

Technology can't even guess if you kill the Count Derby. How could Xiao Letian use the saying of technology to debate with himself? But why is his fallacy so touching and it's impossible to argue at all.
