Benjamin looked stupid, he knew that the little prince was very favored at Buckingham Palace, but he didn't expect to be favored to such an extent that he actually wanted to be named a British admiral?

This is really not a joke, it is true that in history William II really held the honorary title of a British rear admiral, of course, it was impossible for the Royal Navy to let him command the fleet to fight, this is just an honor.

But the honour is also terrifying, and it proves that William Jr. has an unrivalled place in his grandmother's heart, and the biggest mistake Benjamin has made today is to treat Queen Victoria thoroughly as a politician and forget that she was also a kind woman.

On the contrary, because the Earl of Derby is about the same age as the Queen, he can understand the thoughts of his peers, and Derby will more often analyze the Queen from the standpoint of a natural person.

He knew that the queen also had private love, she was not a saint who did not eat the fire of the world, and in the absence of great harm to the British national strategy, this grandmother was not stingy with her love for her grandson.

"Well, Benjamin, I already know what you mean, I will keep an eye on the actions of Xiao Lotian and Prussia, and if they have any further threats to Britain, of course I will speak...... But now, I think it's better to let my son-in-law prepare for the war with peace of mind, and don't change the previous plan!"

Benjamin wanted to say something, but Queen Victoria had already stood up, and the court attendant next to her walked respectfully in front of the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and had already issued an eviction order.

Benjamin didn't know how he got out of Buckingham Palace, but when he finally got into the carriage, he was awakened by the force with which the Earl of Derby shook hands with him.

Derby sighed, "Benjamin, I admit you have a point...... But isn't it good for you to hit Xiao Lotian and hit him? Why do ......you attack Her Royal Highness the Queen's son-in-law in a good way?

Derby was gone, and Benjamin boarded the carriage like a ghost, his bowels of regret almost greening...... I'll let you live another year or two! When the rivalry between Prussia and France is over, you'll be a useless hound, and I'll do it myself! Wait......

It's a pity that Benjamin's ideals will not be realized in the end, if the opportunity is missed, it is missed, if Benjamin is a seasoned politician, he should skip the queen and the Derby prime minister, and mobilize resources to kill Xiao Lotian himself.

In this way, he still has a chance to turn the tables, but unfortunately he is still not crazy enough in his bones, he still wants to solve the problem step by step, but will Xiao Lotian give him more opportunities?

That night, the little prince told his mother what had happened today, and although the eldest princess was a lover daughter and did not like to stay at her mother-in-law's house, she and Carl still had a good relationship, and she was also angry when she heard that Benjamin was going to deal with her husband.

That night, the Prussian diplomats began to send reports to the country, and soon Bismarck received information from the British side, and was surprised that the little prince's impromptu move actually won Prussia a certain initiative, but they also realized that once Benjamin became prime minister, he would definitely take action against Prussia.

The situation suddenly became tense, and with the efforts of diplomats from both sides, Bismarck and the Earl of Derby met secretly in Holland half a month later and agreed on the future situation.

After sincere negotiations, Britain promised to keep its support for Prussia unchanged, and even secretly provided a military expense to arm the Prussian army.

Bismarck reciprocated by suspending the heavy arms trade in the Ryukyus, especially in large industrial facilities.

At the meeting, Derby also put forward a request to buy the blueprints of the battleship with a lot of money, but was politely declined by Bismarck, this is a national secret, how can I tell you?

Diplomatic negotiations are like this, one by one, slowly grinding, there is a lot of exchange of interests, there is a lot of deception and conflict, but one thing is a good phenomenon, it is better to sit together and talk than to sever relations.

While Prussia and Britain were secretly negotiating, the originator Zhiyuan had already seen the islands of Tahiti, a new territory developed by the Ryukyus, an enclave that had been taken from the French.

Tahiti, the largest island in the region, is home to thousands of Chinese immigrants, and now they have only one mission: to build infrastructure for Tahiti.

When the Zhiyuan saw the Xiaozi flag fluttering on the dock of Tahiti, everyone was jubilant, although this is an enclave, but this is also the land that belongs to the Chinese, seeing this flag is also considered to be home.

The immigrants on the island also saw the fleet on the sea at this moment, and for a time the people flocked to the dock and bowed solemnly to the Xiaozi flag on the bow of the ship, and then the Tahiti wharf slammed the salute, and the natives who were frightened by the white smoke fled one after another.

Although Xiang Ying didn't see Xiao Letian's telegram, he would choose to stay for a short time when he passed by, on the one hand, to add a little food and water, and on the other hand, he also wanted to ask these immigrants if they needed any help.

Tahiti now implements the elder system, and there is no clear administrative structure here, but everyone jointly elects five respected elders to jointly manage the archipelago, so it is five old men wearing Ming Dynasty clothes who greet Xiang Ying.

"The general has worked hard all the way, please accept the old man's worship...... "Xiang Ying dared to let the elder kneel and worship, and hurriedly rushed up to support the old man.

"It's broken, it's really broken, we came here to trouble the villagers to help replenish food and water, it should be our first salute!"

After some pleasantries, everyone walked to the conference hall not far away.

The so-called council chamber is actually a wooden pavilion, with no walls around it, just a series of logs supporting a roof, covered with coconut leaves, the warm tropical sea breeze can freely pass around the pavilion, strings of beaded curtains made of shells hang around, and after the breeze, it is as crisp as wind chimes.

Bonfires were lit in the firepits, the freshest seafood was served, and of course precious wines were indispensable, and with the light of ocean trade, Tahiti could exchange water food and ocean merchant ships for all kinds of supplies, and life was quite rich.

After three glasses and two light wines, and a few polite words, Xiang Ying finally had a general understanding of everything here.
