Buckingham Palace in London, England, the residence of the British royal family and the office of the Queen, officially became a national symbol of the United Kingdom during the Victorian era, and the palace is now in its heyday.

The well-guarded palace and strict court etiquette certainly could not stop the footsteps of the prime minister and the cabinet of the exchequer, even if the royal housekeeper did not make an appointment in advance, he did not dare to stop the carriage of the two, and even the queen, who was listening to the piano in the concert hall, had to vacate the concert hall to wait for these two uninvited guests.

"Oh, dear Queen, it is a blessing for the empire on which the sun never sets to see you so healthy......" The Earl of Derby bowed and took a few steps forward and kissed the back of the Queen's hand gently.

"Sit down, my old friend, are you getting better?" and change to a softer chair......

Benjamin then also saluted the queen, but as a young junior, all he got was a smile and a nod from the queen, but Benjamin didn't care about the difference in treatment, and after sitting in the chair, he was very impatient to explain his intention to the queen.

Queen Elizabeth smiled and listened to the slightest boredom, which did not show the queen's demeanor, Benjamin's eloquence was very clear and logical, and he quickly conveyed the thoughts he wanted to express very clearly.

What is surprising is that the Earl of Derby lacks the aggressiveness just now, but is very low-key, just smiling and sipping Indian tea, is his eyes still wandering in the oil paintings on the walls of the concert hall.

Benjamin is a smart man, and when he said it to the end, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a big mistake, and his attitude was too aggressive? Will it make the queen think that he does not have the prime minister's city? If so, even if he dies a Xiao Letian, but he has put his career into it, it is not worth it.

The future prime minister guessed correctly, the queen was indeed a little impatient in her heart, the sun never sets on the empire has too many things to consider, the huge colonies have more urgent jobs everywhere, the South African Boers have been rebelling, France now controls the largest stake in the Suez Canal, the expansion of the Russians in Central Asia has made the British army in India extremely nervous, and the development of the North American continent after the end of the American Civil War are all strategic issues that Britain deserves attention to.

In comparison, what is Xiao Letian? Thirty or forty thousand troops, a mysterious warship, have dug up a lot of wealth by relying on some financial concepts that are more advanced than those of the Qing Dynasty...... In the final analysis, he is just a regional powerhouse, and in the eyes of the British, Zeng Guofan's Hunan army is more threatening than him.

Derby sneered in his heart, "I have already told you clearly, I am not in good health and will definitely give way next year, but you are still so anxious to grab power, do you know that it is difficult for people who eat ugly to get weight...... The queen has experienced so many things in her life, and your little bit of Taoism is really not enough to see......"

Sure enough, when Benjamin finished speaking, Derby shrugged his shoulders and did not express a trace of opinion, but smiled: "Maybe I'm too old to see the problem too sharply...... And my health has always been bad, I will abdicate next year at the latest, and young people should be more involved in national affairs!"

This is too shady, and Derby's words directly point out Benjamin's eagerness to take over, turning a very normal political offer into a one-man show in Benjamin's dirty heart.

Rao was not able to withstand such humiliation even though Benjamin was politically sophisticated, and he blushed and defended himself to the queen, "Your Majesty, I don't have any other ideas...... I just hope that Britain's sea power will not be challenged, and I don't want a hero in China who can gather all the resources, China is too big for them to unite!"

"We absolutely must not let them have heroes, absolutely not! If they want to destroy their country, they must first destroy their history! If they want to destroy their history, they must destroy their heroes first! China must be a plate of scattered sand, and they must fight inwardly and fight forever!"

Benjamin grew more and more excited, and his hands trembled, "That's the base of hundreds of millions of people! They all speak the same language, write the same language, and believe in the same beliefs...... How terrible is that?"

"Therefore, we must break their hearts, let them have a civil war between the Manchus and Hans, let the ethnic minorities in their frontiers try to rebel, and let them not know friendship and respect for each other...... Let the people of Zhili look down on the people of Henan, and let the people of Henan angrily scold the people of Shandong......"

"Let the northerners of China scold the southerners as the southern barbarians, and let the southerners scold the northerners as the northern barbarians, let them look down on each other, let them attack each other, first fight with each other and then move their fists, it is best to escalate into a civil war again and again!"

"Only such a China is in line with our interests, and what I want to express from beginning to end is such a truth!"

Benjamin's mournful tone moved the queen, she finally realized Benjamin's love for Britain, and even Derby put away the mocking expression he had just put away and became serious.

The queen said calmly, "Dear Benjamin, don't be excited, our love for Britain is unquestionable, and we have seen everything you have done...... Although I don't think Xiao Letian is as dangerous as you say, what you said about the strategy against China is still very correct!"

Benjamin was so excited that he was about to cry, "Your Majesty, I still insist that Xiao Lotian is dangerous, really dangerous...... It's not that tens of thousands of soldiers and a strange warship are threatening, it's that his aura of victory along the way is a threat to us!"

"There was a great victory in Europe, a great victory in the three Tanggu battles, a great victory in the attack on Japan, and now the Taiping army in Iquique has won a great victory with his support...... The most terrifying thing is that the naval battles of Dakar and the naval battles of Iquique, that battleship also won wildly!"

"Will this series of auras make Xiao Letian mythologic? In any ghost place in China, as long as anyone is mythologized, then he will become an invincible god, and he will be able to gather the strength of hundreds of millions of people and make all the resources in more than 1,000 square kilometers of land become his palms!"

"That's what I'm most afraid of......"

Benjamin's grief-stricken performance has already impressed the Queen and the Derby Prime Minister, and perhaps the next second will be the Queen's nod.

If Queen Victoria supports the physical destruction of Xiao Lotian, then Xiao Lotian will not survive next year even if he flies away in the heavy strangulation of the empire on which the sun never sets.

But it's a pity that Benjamin's heart was too eager, and at the last moment he actually said a very superfluous nonsense, which directly changed history and changed Britain's last chance to strangle Xiao Letian.

"Your Majesty, if this does not touch your heart, please eliminate this potential threat for the sake of the future of our Imperial Navy! That battleship is ironclad proof of Xiao Letian's alliance with Prussia! This is the most terrible thing, and we absolutely cannot allow it!"
