Listening to the praise of his subordinates, Gladstone is not fluttering, this is the basic quality of a mature politician, that is, immune to touting and sycophancy, and able to keep his mind calm for a long time.

"What are Benjamin's people attacking me? saying I'm an unenterprising isolationist, saying I'm a coward who doesn't dare to fight?"

"Hehe, a bunch of idiots, a bunch of war freaks who know how to kill, what good can they bring to the Empire?"

"You must remember that the British Empire is already the pinnacle of the human world, and there is no country above us that can learn from it, and we only have God at our heads!"

Gladstone stretched out his finger and pointed to the void above him, and said with a serious face, "There is an old saying Chinese that is that the high place is not cold! Since there are no forerunners on it, we have walked into a muddy swamp without any road signs, or a labyrinth......"

"There is no experience of success and failure to refer to, we have to judge and even gamble on right and wrong in every action!"

"Every step has to be careful, every decision we make involves millions of pounds, and it will also affect the happiness of millions of people, so we must not ......be careless."

"A decision or a certain kind of investment, we have achieved it is only to maintain the first place, but what if it fails? I am afraid that the second place will be torn up fiercely, and the law of the jungle will always be followed between countries!"

"Do you know why we didn't make a large-scale investment in ironclad warships before? The reason is that every change in the renewal of naval equipment involves hundreds of millions of pounds of investment, so you must not be careful!"

"Let the Prussians and Chinese make a way for us, and let the actual combat of the Zhiyuan provide data for our judgment, so that we can ensure the success rate of the investment! It is precisely because the Zhiyuan has indeed won several beautiful battles that I agreed to the appropriation of Benjamin's new naval warship......

"I'm not a party fight, I'm responsible for the empire!"

"Gentleman, you are a real gentleman, you have the best character of a knight in the Chinese era......" The surrounding subordinate officials suddenly rolled in waves.

Gladstone waved his hand, "Don't flatter me, you must always remember that the interests of the empire where the sun never sets are higher than those of the party, and the competition below us cannot harm the overall interests of the empire, which is the basis of the existence of the party, and violates this principle, so what is the difference between us and those shameless bureaucrats in the Qing State?"

"Back to the topic just now, now that my British Empire is the number one in the world, if you want to maintain the number one position forever, you should work hard to cultivate your internal skills...... Oh yes, that's an oriental proverb too!"

If Britain wants to stand on top of the world forever, it must ensure that a steady stream of talents emerge in future generations, and the current education system is completely wrong!"

"We in the UK can and should take the lead in promoting compulsory education and every young person should have access to an education, only in this way can we maintain the driving force behind the progress of the empire......"

"Not only the progress of science and technology, but also the improvement of the quality of the whole people, I can say to you responsibly, for every percentage point increase in the government's investment in education, then it can save three percentage points in public security funds......

"Look at the Metropolitan Police Department's anxiety at the moment, the chaotic management and organizational ability is actually rooted in the poor level of education......"

"If the quality of our police officers can be raised to another level, and the education level of these 400,000 citizens can be raised to another level, do you think there will still be today's chaos?"

"No, definitely not...... We all understand what you mean, and it's true, if compulsory education in the British Empire can be universalized, and persist for ten or twenty years, we will definitely have a harvest at that time......"

"Maybe one day, when this kind of gathering of more than 400,000 people is held in London, there will be no need to mobilize another 50,000 or 60,000 military and policemen! When the quality of the people and the quality of government workers are improved, maybe the activities of 400,000 people will be organized with more than 10,000 people......

"Hahaha...... That's right, my friend, now you know the core philosophy of my governance, right? Enhancing the soft power of the British Empire is the fundamental ...... of our long-term stability."

Naturally, the remarks of Gladstone's group of internal politicians would not escape the ears of the colonialists, but no one dared to quarrel with this cannon, not even Benjamin, let alone them.

Sir Gordon glanced at the group of liberals, gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice, "Idiot, the glory of the British Empire is made by the cannons of warships, and the interests of the empire are also maintained by war.

"Hiding in the British Isles as a turtle with a shrunken head can make the country strong......?"

It was so reasonable that Sir Gordon was swearing behind his back, and the Liberals were able to hear it, and the Liberal Party soon spread the word to the others, and the Liberals were furious.

But now after all, it's a public place, and you can't turn your face, a few muttering Liberal politicians came to Gladstone's side and whispered, "Party leader, those bastards just scolded you, it's Gordon......"

Immediately after that, several people repeated those words with added fuel and vinegar, and finally they said, "You can't spare them, you order, let our grassroots members dispatch, how can you add fire to him......"

"He Benjamin wants to hold this event safely, so we will sprinkle some salt on him, and we can't make him proud...... I have to make him a disgrace in front of the queen!"

Gladstone's brows tightened, and he suddenly whispered, "Shut up! I can't stand being scolded by others?"

"Remember who we are, we're politicians and not those hooligans in the West End, and you have to have the big picture...... Do you want to leave a stain on this grand event that will go down in history? Stupid!"

Listening to the party leader's reprimand, several subordinates said with red faces, "You have a sense of the overall situation, but others don't! Our people are helping the police to coordinate order, but in the end the credit is given to Benjamin and them, who can be convinced?"

"We didn't say what to do, since they were all swearing, and we didn't make trouble, why can't we tear down the thousands of people who helped maintain order?

"Do you really want to help him get through? You must know that without our help, there will definitely be a lot of mistakes in this diplomatic event in charge of Benjamin, and this is not our chance!"

Gladstone shook his head, suddenly laughed, and he whispered, "Let's continue watching the show, we have already shot in the face, and there are still people behind us who are ready to make a move, he Benjamin can't get better...... Hehehe!"
