Benjamin lamented in his heart, this Xiao Lotian seems to have completely passed the test, and the war plan against the Chinese people can no longer be implemented, not only the national policies that the queen said, but also the state visit of the Qing Emperor alone has blocked all the possibilities of Benjamin's action.

First, the Franco-Prussian War was imminent, and all eyes in Britain were focused on this war, and at this time Britain suddenly opened a second war in East Asia, this kind of behavior was destined to be considered irresponsible, and Benjamin can imagine how strongly the parliament impeached him.

Second, Benjamin made a strategic mistake in the direction of British support, and if both the queen and the parliament approved of his plan to support France, then it would be understandable that Prussia's ally Xiao Lotian would be militarily attacked, after all, the enemy's allies are also enemies.

But he made a mistake to block, the queen and many noble parliamentarians, in fact, they have long regarded France as an opponent, Benjamin's strategic direction is completely twisted, and now he has no excuse to attack Xiao Letian, attacking Prussia's allies at such a critical moment?

Third, the Qing emperor's visit to Europe is extremely exciting news, and in the entire history of mankind, no Chinese king has ever visited Europe, and no king of the same Europe has ever visited China.

From the ancient Roman era, to the Middle Ages, to the Renaissance, the Age of Discovery...... The legend of China is getting closer and closer to Europe, but the kings of the East and the West have never met face-to-face.

This visit will be the first time in history, it is an ice-breaking journey of Eastern and Western civilizations, it is conceivable that the entire European aristocratic circle and cultural elite circle will be boiling, and it is the honor of the people of the whole era to be able to witness the historical changes.

At this moment, although China suffered two defeats in the Opium War, and there have been voices of contempt for China within the European leadership, the inertia of thousands of years of legends still exists in the psychology of the European people.

That country of wealth, the country of civilization of legends, is mysterious and attractive in every way. Hundreds of millions of Europeans are looking forward to this state visit.

Benjamin is just a British prime minister, and even if he can serve two terms, he will burn high incense, and he simply does not have the courage and strength to resist such a turbulent tide of people's hearts.

If he dares to sabotage this state visit, then the entire European people will drown him with spittle, and the history books of later generations will completely scandalize him.

The queen looked at the pale prime minister and sighed lightly, "Of course, the more grand the reception etiquette, the better, but ...... But now the most important thing is security!"

Napoleon III is already going crazy, I'm afraid that even the Almighty God can't calm him down, and now the only one who can provide maritime security for the Qing Emperor is our Royal Navy!"

Benjamin roamed the streets like a zombie who had lost his soul, and the prime minister's carriage was following more than ten meters behind him, and the guards and civil secretaries did not dare to approach, but just watched from a distance.

I don't know how far I went, Benjamin was awakened by the sound of the waves of the Thames, and he was suddenly shocked by a strange thought, one that he couldn't even believe.

"Could it all be in Xiao Letian's calculations? He provoked the war in the Far East, lured out the fleet of Tsarist Russia from the Baltic Sea, and annihilated this fleet in East Asia with gold as bait......

"I'm afraid it will be followed by the Far East's counteroffensive against Vladivostok, right? Then the letter of state arrived in Europe, and Emperor Tongzhi opened the first visit of Eastern and Western monarchs in human history!"

"Did he already calculate the timing of all this? Oh my God, what kind of brain is this, has he calculated it too, and I'm going to attack him? Is this damn bastard laughing at me behind his back? Because he already knew that my plan for this sneak attack was going to be ruined!"

"Did he tease me like a fool?"

Benjamin didn't know what was wrong, this damn thought was spinning desperately in his mind, endlessly surging, jealousy used to be hatred, hatred used to be fear......

All kinds of negative emotions came and went in his heart, which made his face hideous, perhaps his aura became very evil, and the pigeons that were cooing and pecking not far away flew away in horror.

"Xiao Letian, you have passed a level today, but don't be too complacent, the threat to you in my heart has increased again, I will keep an eye on you carefully, and one day I will destroy you with my own hands!"

"I dare to swear to God, you are the mortal enemy of Western civilization, and you are destined to become the mortal enemy of the British Empire in the future......! Let's go, we'll Downing Street, we'll go to work!"

The crisis was finally lifted, and in the London sky, the black hand that stretched out to Xiao Lotian retracted into the darkness, and at this moment, the talks on Chaolian Island also entered the end.

The situation in Europe was broken and crumpled by Xiao Letian's analysis clearly, and Sir Eric was also very aware that at the critical moment of the Franco-Prussian War, it was very irrational to add diplomatic variables to the empire.

What's more, Xiao Lotian has made it clear that he will leave for Europe in a month or two, according to the time, take Malacca across the Indian Ocean, and take the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean.

Emperor Tongzhi, who visited the country, will be able to arrive in London in July this summer at the most, which is a visit worthy of special mention in the history of human civilization, and is bound to attract the attention of the whole world.

When the Thames's alleged mechanical problems were resolved, Eric got up and left the island, without any written agreement or verbal secret agreement between the two sides, but both sides tacitly understood that the greatest crisis had been resolved.

Upon his arrival in Shanghai, he would send a telegram to the governors of the Asian colonies, calling off all plans of attack, and he would warn Wittoma not to wait any longer for the London warrant for war, which would have come to naught.

As for the loss of those bankers in Shanghai, I don't care about it, Ai Liguo is too lazy to take care of it, and now Xiao Letian has made a big deal about it, and the situation is completely beyond the responsibility of a minister who is about to retire, if you want to find the first bird, you should go to Downing Street to find it.

Nothing happened, and Ai Liguo, who was leaving, even whistled, which made the military attache who had followed him for many years very incomprehensible.

"Your Excellency, why are you so relaxed? Xiao Lotian has shown that he is not inferior to our European elite, and this is a threat to us! Why do you seem to be completely indifferent?"

Ai Liguo shrugged, "Child, when you reach my age, you will be able to see through everything, there is an old Chinese saying that is very good, so that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind! Xiao Letian's strength is already something I can't contain......"

"But the stronger he is, the more power groups he will come into contact with, and the more dangerous he will be with every step he takes to success......

At this time, Ai Liguo suddenly looked up at the north, which was the direction of Beijing City, "Hey...... Whether we can see Xiao Lotian again in London is not certain! Who will lose and who will win in this Far East battle! Let's see......
