Xiao Letian never expected that the negotiation with Bismarck would be completed in such a peaceful state, except for the temptation that Bismarck made him feel pressure at the beginning, at other times the iron-blooded prime minister was more like an old urchin-like elder, which was completely different from the rumors.

Looking at Bismarck's carriage far away, Xiao Lotian always had the feeling of punching on the cotton bale in his heart, and before meeting, Xiao Lotian imagined countless scenes of confrontation with the iron-blooded prime minister, and in his heart Bismarck was a more difficult person to deal with than Zeng Guofan. No, no, no, a politician like him with such great influence can already be called a great man.

Confrontation with real great men in history, this kind of pressure is not something that ordinary people can imagine, when Xiao Letian ran business in his previous life, he met a department-level cadre that was already awe-inspiring, and then looked at those national-level cadres on TV, you can feel the powerful pressure across the screen, and that kind of momentum is not something that the ordinary people can resist at all.

Ordinary political figures are already difficult to get involved with, let alone the famous greats in history. Xiao Letian was even mentally prepared for defeat, and he didn't know which was stronger or weaker between the traverser aura and the great man aura.

But the reality played a big joke with Xiao Letian, and after Bismarck made a prank to make Xiao Lotian at a loss, the negotiations entered a gentle drizzle.

It is not so much that this is a confrontation between the prime ministers of the East and the West, but rather that this is a promotion of seniors to juniors, and Xiao Letian can't help but nod his head when he listens to a set of theories about the relationship between heroes and nations. In the end, even Xiao Letian's daughter-in-law was convinced, this is really a kind elder.

But no one knew that the smile on Bismarck's face froze as the small carriage drove out of the garden, and in a few moments he took out a notebook from the compartment of the carriage and began to record the meeting.

"Xiao Letian, this is a very potential rising star of Oriental politics, with a keen eye, profound knowledge, and great courage...... It's a pity that the age is still too young, and the grasp of love is far from being mature......"

"As a politician, you should not lightly expose your weaknesses, relatives, comrades-in-arms, colleagues...... All kinds of social relationships, it is easy for the enemy to seize your handle, successful politicians should be cold-blooded, but unfortunately Xiao Lotian is not cold-blooded at all......"

"Although I personally feel sorry for Xiao Letian, an Eastern politician with weaknesses is conducive to the national interests of Prussia, and this is the basis for our long-term cooperation with Chinese......"

Xiao Lotian never imagined that just as he and his officers were celebrating the smooth negotiations, Bismarck had already begun to give him a very detailed examination. This information will be kept in the secret Prussian archives for a long time, so that even if Bismarck dies, his successors will be able to receive his guidance on governance.

There is really providence in the dark, Xiao Letian's gaffe on the special train and the defeat in this garden confrontation seem to be a show of weakness on the surface, but it is precisely because of this show of weakness that Xiao Letian is blessed by his mistakes.

At this time, Xiao Letian's power was far from being strong, he was weak like a baby in the face of Western powers, not to mention powerful countries like Britain, France and the United States, even if it was the Netherlands and Portugal, which were not falling, it was easy to deal with him.

There is not a single modern navy warship, the army is only more than 1,000 people, and the land and population resources under its control are only one county. Saying that he is a baby is a bit lifted, and the current power of Xiao Letian can only be said to be in the embryonic stage.

Bismarck's temptation was not for himself alone, for the results of his analysis would be telegraphed to His Majesty as quickly as possible, and within three days all the high-ranking members of the Habsburgs in Europe, except France, would receive this information.

The Crown of Great Britain, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands...... These big men who actually controlled Europe will see Bismarck's analysis, and the vision of the iron-blooded prime minister is something that even Queen Victoria admires.

With Bismarck's endorsement, Xiao Lotian will become a 'flawed politician' in the eyes of these big people, and it is precisely because of the flaws that Xiao Letian is easy to control or overcome. People will not worry that Xiao Lotian will one day evolve into a ferocious lion and tiger, thereby damaging the layout of Europeans' global interests.

Sure enough, when Queen Victoria of Buckingham Palace saw the private message sent by her cousin and this information three days later, the old European grandmother finally smiled, and she even stroked the back of her eldest daughter's hand next to her and said teasingly.

"Your husband is a little too cautious, he actually sees Xiao Lotian as a dangerous person who can threaten Europe...... Hehehe, you come and see this information......"

Sitting next to Elizabeth was the eldest princess Louis, a white and somewhat fat beauty in fine clothes, who was now living in England with her son on vacation, and the weather in Berlin was still a little uncomfortable for her.

After reading Bismarck's analysis report, Louis covered his mouth with a folding fan and laughed softly, "Hehehe...... Carl had been fighting for too long, his mind was full of dangerous calculations, and everyone was dangerous in his eyes...... How could a small island nation of the Ryukyus, and the political structure of the Middle Ages, possibly pose a threat to Europe?"

Queen Victoria also smiled, "Maybe, but you must know that China is very rich, and even now I am not sure that Britain has more wealth than China...... Which country is so big that it covers more than the whole of Europe......"

At this time, a young man reading a book next to Princess Louis spoke: "Oh, grandmother, you are not exact, the land area of Tsarist Russia in the north is much larger than that of China, and China can only be regarded as the second..."

In Buckingham Palace, if they dare to interrupt the Queen, it must be the Queen's family, this young man is the famous Wilhelm II in later generations, the son of Prince Karl and the grandson of Queen Victoria.

"Oh, my little Victor asked, this aggressive momentum must be a brave king in the future...... Well, let my grandmother tell you ......"

"Although the Russian land is huge, but seventy percent of the land is in the cold zone, those places are not suitable for human habitation at all, although the Russians legally occupy a large amount of land in Siberia, but they have not even built roads, those places are completely barbaric......

"China is different, it is an ancient civilization with a history of thousands of years, and the land they control is very suitable for human habitation, and they have accumulated countless wealth over the years. This country has been the leader of the human world for thousands of years, and we have been trying to surpass them for a long time......"

"Oh, grandmother, don't you think too highly of this country, and now China has already let you defeat twice, and don't we have the upper hand in Europe?" asked the young Wilhelm II, puzzled.

Queen Victoria stroked her grandson's hair and said gently, "Child, you don't understand at all, we didn't defeat that country at all, what we defeated was just the Manchu government, and the two wars were wars with the Manchus, and those Han people didn't participate in the war at all......"

This sentence is a bit profound, a child obviously can't understand, and in the end it was his mother, Princess Louis, who helped him solve his puzzles: "My little Victor, you can understand it this way, China represents the German nation, and the Manchus and Han are like the relationship between Prussia and Austria, but the politics of the East are a little more complicated, and there is no clear geographical territory to divide ......"

"I see...," Victor shouted, "the Manchus are now the royal family of China, they are like emperors who have been crowned by the Pope, and the Han are now stripped of their throne due to their previous failures, hiding behind the Manchus, but their power is still very strong, and they are always looking for opportunities to overthrow the Manchu ......"

"Haha, I understand, I want to write my understanding into my diary, the British two expeditions to China, the only purpose is to defeat the Manchus, and then make profits through guò commercial trade and various treaties, and the main ethnic group of China not only does not want to fight with them, but even helps the Manchus to control the ...... together"

Queen Victoria looked at her grandson who was struggling to write, and was very relieved, and at this moment, a court maid came quietly and reminded the queen in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, it's time for the French ambassador to meet you, and the ambassador has been waiting for a long time..."

Queen Victoria didn't get up, but took a sip of black tea, and then said, "I won't go to see him, tell the French ambassador, we will not cooperate with their expedition to East Asia, not only will we not attack the Qing Kingdom, but also will not attack the Ryukyus, which is not in the interests of Britain......"

Speaking of which, Victoria looked at her grandson and whispered, "I have to give my cousin some thin noodles, and Bismarck, that old fellow, if you don't give him face, I'm afraid he's going to scold me everywhere again......"

The maid turned to leave, and there were only three grandchildren left in the study, and Princess Louis asked puzzledly, "Mother, isn't this too cheap for that Chinese?" Although Xiao Lotian taught the French, it is also the face of our Europeans? Not to mention that Bismarck's analysis is reliable? Won't this Xiao Lotian be a deeply hidden careerist?"

The eldest princess's question made the young Victor stop his pen, and they waited patiently for the queen's answer. The result was a long sigh from the Queen.

"I also have your worries, this Xiao Letian is not much of a threat now, but maybe he will be a tiger in East Asia in the future. And now that Prussia and the United States are very serious about him, with the support of these two countries, this Xiao Letian's power will definitely grow by leaps and bounds......"

"But I can't do anything, if the Qing Empire fights for a little bit, I won't let the situation in East Asia change in any way. You must know that our greatest threat at the moment is Russia to the north, and they can clearly see that their national strategy is to challenge Britain's maritime supremacy..."

At this time, Queen Victoria exuded an aggressive aura all over her body, and the domineering spirit of the empire on which the sun never sets was visible to her.

"In the Crimea, we blocked them north of the Caspian Sea, and as a result, this polar bear turned around and ran wildly to the east, they have already rushed their fangs to the Qing Dynasty, they want to insert a foot in the Pacific Ocean, which the British Empire absolutely does not allow ..."

"The incompetent Manchus, who lost more than a million square kilometers of land six years ago after being intimidated by the Cossacks, are now supporting the Central Asian warlords in their attempts to seize Xinjiang...... The Russians are forced to do this, and the Qing State is still in a civil war, and there is no resistance at all......"

"I'm afraid, I'm really afraid, one day the Russians will set up colonies on the Liaodong Peninsula and the Jiaodong Peninsula, and then a warm water port will be backed by the endless resources of the Qing mainland, and it will be a big trouble for our henchmen..."

Queen Victoria sighed, "Now I have to plan for the worst, if the Manchus can't stop the polar bears, I must support a few more strong forces in the Qing Dynasty, so I can delay a while......"
