How could Xiao Lotian not guard against the British, in fact, even when he contacted the Prussians, Xiao Lotian also paid great attention to intelligence secrecy, and the drunken nonsense was just a trick.

In his previous life, Xiao Letian's alcohol consumption was very good, and later he may have traveled through the time and space tunnel to say something like Xingmen, and was swept by strange energy several times, and his alcohol consumption actually rose again in this life, and it was a lie to say that a thousand glasses were not drunk, but after drinking more than a pound of liquor, his brain was still sober and calm, which could not be fake.

Of course, this may have nothing to do with the fact that there is no fake wine in this world, and sometimes Xiao Letian has also thought maliciously, should he pass on the technology of blending fake wine to the Manchu Qing Dynasty?

But let's think about it, forget it, the Han wine culture is no worse than the Manchus, and in the final analysis, the fake wine is still the poor.

Of course, counterfeit wine is a joke idea of Xiao Letian, since he crossed over, what he has eaten and drunk is basically the top high-end goods, just like the French grape wine he drank just now, I don't know that it was produced by that famous winery, anyway, the entrance is fruity, and it is definitely not comparable to the goods of dozens of dollars in later generations.

Xiao Lotian is now a rookie in East Asian politics that Earl Doubi focuses on cultivating, and the officials of the British colonies are not stupid, so they will naturally raise the standard of hospitality, even if a few bottles of fine wine are worth 8888 in later generations, it is just a drizzle for such a big British Empire.

The wine is good, Xiao Letian drinks a lot, and he is in the middle of the British merchant ships, it is said that Xiao Lotian should be cautious in his words and deeds, why is he so drunk?

This is the wisdom of a politician. Xiao Lotian and Bismarck, Moltke Sr., and Prince Karl have made friends on the battlefield, and the two sides still have deep entanglements of interests.

But the British Prime Minister doesn't think so, as the world's number one power, they have a very high vigilance against any new rising forces, especially Xiao Letian, a politician whose personal hero halo is too dazzling, they are still resistant from the heart.

If it weren't for the purpose of curbing the expansion of French power in East Asia, the prime minister of the British Empire would meet with such a weak Xiao Letian?

Count Teaser wants to use Xiao Letian, of course, to prevent it, and their intelligence spy work on Xiao Letian has never stopped, just like when they were in Hamburg, everyone didn't know that the Prussian intelligence officer had dug up two British spies in Xiao Letian's residence, and on a dark and windy night in the moon, the intelligence officers on both sides also fought in the suburbs.

Of course, this is a secret war on the intelligence front, which the two heads of state do not recognize, and the common people are afraid that they will not know this secret until they die.

Today, Xiao Lotian is acting, he wants to show more shortcomings in front of the British, a flawed politician is always easy to control, which is also in the interests of the British.

Later, when Xiao Letian's drunken singing and drunken intelligence was transmitted back to London, the Earl of Teabi was very pleased, "Well, I have finally found Xiao Letian's weakness, although he showed extraordinary bravery and wisdom in the Austro-Prussian War, but when it comes to his core interests, he will also behave appropriately, and he will also collapse......"

"What are his core interests? I think he loves his own people too much, and of course the people he rules. If one day in the future, when there is a war between the British Empire and Xiao Letian, as long as we can coerce a large number of people as hostages, then the weak Xiao Lotian will naturally give in......"

Count Teabi's words were permanently recorded by the secretary, which is a valuable wisdom left by the old politicians, although I don't know if there will be a chance to use it in the future, but the record is indispensable.

In real history, the Earl of Derby will go to see God in three years, and he is destined not to see the scene of the war between Britain and Xiao Letian, but his analysis of Xiao Letian has been retained forever, and there are really British generals who have formulated a battle plan for Xiao Lotian according to his analysis.

Of course, what the effect will be is a later story, and now Xiao Letian has not reached the point of showdown with the British, and the two sides are in the stage of limited cooperation.

Xiao Letian staged a drama in the sea to deceive the British, and the big drama on Ryukyu Island was even more exciting, the sound of seizing power in the hidden military warehouse was higher and higher, if it weren't for the constant pressure of Liang Kun and Fan Yao, coupled with the gradual expansion of the territory of the loyal new army outside, there might be a mutiny tonight.

"Rest assured, old shopkeeper, we will definitely win the mutiny...... The new army is all trained by us, even if there are some Ryukyu natives in it, they have already adapted to military orders and military discipline, our soldiers don't need to think about politics, they only know how to carry out military orders......"

"The ten universities are all descendants of the prime minister, and all the male students are trained in the military, so they can organize an army of two thousand men in half a day...... And the other students can't be idle, they can be organized into preachers, and let them go out into the streets to reassure us......"

"More than 100,000 Japanese in the Ryukyus are reliable, this nation naturally believes in the respect of the strong, let's look at the shrines in the streets and alleys, they are all dedicated to the prime minister, how can they choose the Ryukyu monarch at a critical juncture? You must know that in the past, the Japanese ruled here......"

"Mutiny... Mutiny... Mutiny......" in the chaotic noise, and then converged into two words, mutiny.

Fan Yao and Liang Kun's faces are white now, they have long passed the age of angry youth, and the fanaticism in their hearts is only occasional, and most of the time they can suppress this fanaticism with calmness and reason.

"Enough, shut up, shut up all......" Fan Yao stood on the shell box and shouted loudly, but no matter how loud his voice was, a thin old man, he couldn't stop so many people.

"Everybody has ...... Attention...... Take a break..."Liang Kun is still smart, he opened his mouth is a military order, and these new army officers have long had a conditioned reflex to the military order, only to hear the sound of the boom in the warehouse, all the soldiers are standing straight, and the room is immediately quiet.

At this time, the old shopkeeper Fan Yao was tired and panting, standing on the shell box and pointing at the group of officers who wanted to mutiny, and he couldn't even speak.

"You ...... You bastards... When is this coming, the French are all forced to the doorstep, the country is about to be broken, and you still want our little family? Do you have a cramp in your head? At this time, what is the mutiny not looking for death?"

"With 150,000 households and a population of more than 500,000 people, the Central Plains, the Japanese, and the indigenous people of the Ryukyus, do you think that the rule of the Ryukyu royal family in the past few hundred years has no kindness to the people? Don't forget that the Ryukyu royal family has ruled here since the early years of the Ming Dynasty, and the country has not changed until now..."

The old shopkeeper has never shouted so fiercely in his life: "What are you talking about? Will the Japanese do anything with us?" Put away all those delusions, the Japanese are the nation that attaches the most importance to practical interests, and their short-sightedness is the most famous...... Do you think that if the prime minister is not here......, you alone will be able to shock these Japanese?

Fan Yi snorted and gasped, and below him was a group of stunned officers and second treasurers who were scolded, "You have a good memory, how did we control the Ryukyus? How did we become the masters here? Why did the kings of the Ryukyus who had been around for hundreds of years willingly give away their power?"

"Brothers, it depends on the prime minister, Xiao Letian, and my uncle...... If he hadn't sacrificed his life and rushed to the first place, who of you would dare to guarantee that he would win the Ryukyu War of Independence? It was Xiao Letian who fought with his life to win the trust of all the Chinese and natives in the Ryukyus..."

"How did Xiao Letian win the hearts of the Japanese? It didn't rely on bloody killings, it relied on the combination of grace and power...... If my uncle hadn't used his own blood to save Sakamoto Ryoma, would you say that these Japanese would have really built shrines for the conquerors?

"Ryukyu is not our Ryukyu, Ryukyu only belongs to Xiao Lotian alone, he is as strong as an iron bucket in Ryukyu, and if he is not here, an iron bucket can only be torn apart..."

"Do you still want to mutiny? Do you think this broken barrel is not breaking fast enough? It is clear that this is Gong Cheng's provocative plan, you still have to jump into it, do you all lack heart?"

The old shopkeeper scolded him, everyone listened with red faces, and only Fan Yao could scold them like this in the current Ryukyus, after all, he was Xiao Letian's father-in-law, or the actual controller of Lotte Foreign Bank, and his identity was far beyond everyone seated.

"Then what should we do?" whispered the dejected officers who had been scolded.

"Prepare for war...... Watch and see what happens... What else can we do, we must hold on, hold firmly on the Ryukyus, this is our foundation..."

"As long as we keep it until Xiao Lotian returns, we will all be alive in this dead end, and all the resources in this land of East Asia will not be able to be mobilized except for him, so don't even think about it..."

"The Prime Minister is still alive..."The crowd suddenly exclaimed, before this everyone had a faint worry in their hearts, but everyone chose to shut up, but not talking about it does not mean that everyone has no such worries in their hearts.

And now the old shopkeeper, as Xiao Letian's elder, said such a thing, and suddenly turned all the hidden worries in everyone's hearts to the surface.

"Die, my uncle will die, fart ......" Fan Yao spat on the ground, "Who is my uncle? That's the hidden dragon of China, and the son of the true dragon is talking about my uncle... Now the fortune is not big enough, and the feng shui has not yet risen, so when the hidden dragon turns into a real dragon one day, you will go and see it..."

"When the real dragon is born, it will naturally have the majesty of the dragon, how can it be so cowardly to die?

Yes, it turned out that Xiao Lotian and Zeng Guofan's secret conversation, the old shopkeeper actually overheard it, no wonder this old man's business became more and more crazy after the Tanggu riots, and the old man is now about to become the first arms dealer in East Asia.

It turned out that the old shopkeeper was preparing for war and famine for his uncle, and the old shopkeeper did not have a dream of being a national ruler in his heart.
