Benjamin's judgment of Xiao Lotian was entirely based on a unique intuition of a politician, which was also possessed by the Earl of Derby in his prime.

It is a feeling that is difficult to describe, when a person has been crawling in the political circle through thirty or forty years of hard study and accumulation, has been delving into the strategy and geopolitics of a great power, and has always been able to access the most core secrets of this world......

When a high-quality elite spends most of his life immersed in this kind of conspiracy and conspiracy, when he spends his whole life studying the laws of the rise and fall of powerful countries in history, that kind of indescribable directness or a kind of spirituality also appears.

In the history of mankind, all famous politicians have more or less this intuition, and even more so in China, almost all of the emperors and generals who founded the country have been mythologized.

Not to mention that those people were mythologized, in fact, those people really had this unique intuition, and they could roughly deduce the final result of many things at the beginning of their occurrence.

The reason is very simple: 'Take copper as a mirror, you can be dressed, history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall, and people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses. Most people who are good at studying history say that there is a unique deduction for some of the things that are happening now.

Because all the chaos that happens in front of human beings has actually been repeated in history, and the appearance may be different, but the core things in it will not change if they are thoroughly studied, especially human nature and the people's hearts.

Benjamin is relatively good among the previous British prime ministers, and later generations will be called 'literati prime minister', and if he can have such a title among the prime ministers of all generations, it can be seen that this person's cultural literacy is high.

Benjamin's seemingly childlike gibberish is actually a deliberate judgment.

In his thinking, the rise of any nation and country is inseparable from the general trend, opportunities, heroes and a little luck.

Yes, it is not easy for a superpower to form, and the Chinese have seized the general trend and opportunity of agricultural civilization, and have condensed a cultural core suitable for the survival of agricultural civilization in the Qin and Han dynasties, and successive generations have been indecisive, which has established China's unique position in the Middle Ages.

Of course, the Chinese are also very lucky, that rich land is protected by the sea, plateau, desert, thousands of years to face the enemy is nothing more than the northern barbarians, this unique geographical location is the good luck of the Chinese.

The ancient Roman Empire was much worse, relying on the convenient shipping of the Mediterranean Sea to build a super-large empire, but they also had too many enemies to guard against.

There are barbarians in the cold zone in the north, pagans in the Middle East in the east, and primitive people in Africa in the south, although they are a little backward, but they have also caused a lot of trouble.

If you want to compare the enemy on three sides with the enemy on the other, of course, the luck of the Chinese is better.

Britain was also lucky, the first country to pioneer the industrial revolution, strong productivity and correct maritime strategic thinking, so that the British island nation in Europe quickly became the world's number one power.

But Benjamin is well aware that no matter how good the opportunity is, it still needs people to drive the course of history, especially heroes.

Drake, Nelson, Newton, Shakespeare...... Countless heroes have pushed Britain forward in great strides, seizing the opportunity of history and never letting go, until it surpasses any country in the world to become the empire on which the sun never sets.

The people are loose, the people's hearts are selfish and profit-seeking, and without the leadership of heroes, nothing will be accomplished.

Why is China poor and weak now? Because this is a China without heroes, and everyone's hearts are blinded by selfish interests, and they are constantly suffering from internal friction. At this time, I am afraid that there will be heroes to unite people's hearts, such a big country, so many people and economic aggregates, if it is really mobilized, who in this world can fight against it?

Why didn't Count Derby understand such a simple truth?

No matter how Benjamin explains, but the stubborn Earl Derby just disagrees with him, he doesn't think Xiao Lotian is a hero from beginning to end, and Xiao Lotian is not a hero at all in the eyes of Earl Derby.

"Okay, Benjamin! In my eyes, Xiao Lotian is just a rat who burrows back and forth among the great powers to take advantage, look at all he does, all he does is to be a prime minister on a ruined island, with an army of twenty or thirty thousand people, what do you think he can do?"

"The Qing people will not recognize Xiao Letian as orthodox, no matter how you think of him, Xiao Letian is still the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, he has not mixed into the high-level of the Qing Empire, the Tanggu Special Economic Zone is said to be very good, but it is too small, how can the economy be compared with Europe?"

"Jokingly, even the declining Netherlands and the small principalities of Italy are not comparable to Xiao Letian, you are too worried...... Let him go and make trouble for the Qing Dynasty emperor and the Russians, as long as he is still fighting against the Russians, I think we still need to support it appropriately!"

Benjamin was going crazy: "Prime Minister, you can't look at the problem like this! Although Ryukyu was a vassal state of the Qing Empire, Xiao Lotian was Han from beginning to end, and he had a certain prestige among Chinese intellectuals!"

"China is a very practical people, they appear to be loyal to the imperial power, but they are only loyal to the imperial power, not to a particular emperor...... Oh God, why don't you understand what I mean?"

"Xiao Lotian is very dangerous, he is too dangerous, I think everything he is doing now is dormant, he is gathering energy, one day he will soar into the sky! When he shows his fangs, I'm afraid we won't be able to subdue it!"

Benjamin even gritted his teeth and threatened, "Your Excellency, if you ignore my proposal like this again...... I'm going to see the queen alone, and I'm going to make an independent statement!"

With a muffled bang, Earl Derby slammed his glass on the table, "You want to meet the Queen? Do you want to bother the Queen just for this little thing? I really misread you, the position of Prime Minister is too inappropriate for you, how many major events in the Empire need our attention, why do you have to focus on a small role in East Asia?"

"Well, I can authorize you to give the Navy an extra £2,000,000 for research, and we'll build one of those ships—so you're satisfied......?"

Benjamin was furious by the Earl of Derby's weird tone, "I really can't tell, I have to go and meet Her Majesty!"

Deby stood up angrily and slammed the floor with his cane, "Okay, then let's go with us!"
