"Ahh Don't ......" A shrill scream rang out in the villa on the banks of the Elbe, followed by the whole villa being lit up, countless figures were huo, and footsteps were everywhere.

"Alert...... All on alert...... My lord... What's wrong with the adults?" asked nervously with a pistol in his hand outside the bedroom, and waited for a long time before the voice of the tiger girl came from the bedroom.

"It's okay, you all go down, you just had a nightmare..."

Xiao Lotian did have a nightmare, in that dream, Naha turned into a sea of fire again, but this time it was even more tragic, and countless pictures of the slaughter of the city actually appeared in the dream.

The corpse of a baby is carried on a bayonet, the woman is being bullied, the elderly are being torn apart by artillery fire, and the brave soldier is being knocked down by a rain of bullets.

"Naha is burning, and the flames are even higher than the last time we fought the Japanese...... I felt like I was flying in mid-air, and I could see the mountains and rivers of East Asia, and the Ryukyu island chain in the Pacific Ocean was a sea of fire......

"In the dark of the night, it was as if a string of torches had been lit...... Countless people were watching, their faces were extremely hideous, and they watched the fall of the Ryukyus, as if they were happy for the New Year......"

Hu Niu hugged Xiao Letian, tears fell down, she knew that Xiao Letian was under too much pressure during this time, and the finishing work of the European trip was extremely complicated, and all kinds of cooperation intentions had to be finalized in the shortest possible time and the agreement was signed.

Today, I will talk with Mr. Nobel about cooperation with the East Asian Explosives Factory, and tomorrow I will secretly discuss with Volzen Shipyard the design of the new warship.

In the morning, I transferred to various universities, and in the afternoon I had to discuss with the Prussian bankers about the operation of the Sino-German fund.

Not only is he busy during the day, but Xiao Lotian can't rest at night, most of the high-level Prussian officials and secret envoys from various countries choose to meet Xiao Lotian at evening drinks and dances.

By the time the day's work was over, the time had already pointed to midnight, and at this time Xiao Lotian still couldn't rest, he always sat on the map of East Asia with a dry lamp, quietly watching the Ryukyus, looking at the www.biquge.info of his career.

"I'm sorry, I'm really useless, I can't help you at all......" Hu Niu hugged Xiao Letian and cried bitterly.

As a mature politician, he won't let his love get out of control for too long, even if it's a nightmare. Xiao Letian patted the tiger girl on the back, indicating that his love had returned to normal.

"It's okay, the sky hasn't fallen yet, our career has just started, even if that weak family foundation is all smashed, what's the pity? You didn't do very well before, helped me stabilize people's hearts in front of everyone, now we have to be strong, and the momentum must not fall ......"

"The brothers are looking at me, the Europeans are also looking at me, only if I hold up my mentality, they will be relieved to boldly continue to follow and continue to cooperate with us..."

Hu Niu wiped her tears and sighed, "I don't care about others, I just feel sorry for you...... To be honest, I sometimes really want us to put aside this qiē and find a country where we can live in peace, and live our lives quietly, how nice it is......"

"But I know that you are now on the cusp of the storm, and you can't retreat even if you want to......"

Tiger girl's words Xiao Le is innocent and can't go back, the battle for hegemony has been a one-way road that can't be turned back since ancient times, and the moment you step on this road, you are destined to be full of enemies.

Do you want to step down? First, will the brother who follows you agree? Second, will the enemy who has been taught by you be generous? The battle at the top of the pyramid of human society is not so simple.

"What time is it...... Oh, it's five o'clock in the morning...... Forget it, let me take a walk in the garden, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain..."

Falling asleep at three o'clock in the morning, being woken up by a nightmare at five o'clock in the morning, and resting for more than two hours is self-abuse for normal people, but it is commonplace for this group of politicians.

The same is also the prime minister, Bismarck has even less time to rest than Xiao Lotian, and now he is lying on the couch, with his eyes closed and several secretaries next to him are reporting softly to the prime minister.

"Your Excellency, the meeting between the Prime Minister and the Austrian Emperor was held in Nicholsburg, and the time was set for the 22nd...... The Emperor has also sent envoys for this negotiation, and they seem to be more eager than we are to reach an agreement......"

Bismarck did not open his eyes, and said with a smile: "Napoleon III is also so open-minded, there are some things I can tell you now, before the war I had a secret verbal agreement with him, whether the war is won or not, we Prussia will recognize French ownership of the land west of the Rhine......"

"Hehe, fool blinded by greed, do you think I'm going to keep my promise?

The secretary never thought that there would be such an episode before, and everyone's awe of the prime minister deepened again: "Prime Minister, the news we sent from the Austrian intelligence network that the Austrian emperor was flattered by our peace talks, he never thought that our demands would be so few......"

Hearing this, Bismarck raised his hand to stop the secretary: "I don't want to hear the good news, but send the good news to the king, and please tell me about the trouble and difficulty...... The more the merrier..."

The secretary's neck shrank in fright, and he hurriedly flipped through the text in his hand, "Of all the bad news, this is the most troublesome...... The Emperor rejected all attempts to negotiate against the Chinese, and the emissaries of our country and of America were rejected in person......"

"Oh... This madman doesn't seem to want to let Xiao Lotian go...... It's going to be difficult..."Bismarck opened his eyes suddenly, and the waiter behind him hurriedly handed over a wrung out hot towel for the Prime Minister to wipe his face.

Bismarck hadn't slept for three days in a row, he had been working non-stop, and when he was really tired, he would lean back on the sofa and close his eyes for a while, and the weirdest thing was that he wouldn't rest for more than half an hour, and then he would definitely wake up.

It's not that simple to run an empire, and there is a reason why the king can allow him to be so domineering.

"Poor Shaw, he has shared the wrath of France for us Prussia, and we owe him a debt...... Go and inform Xiao Lotian that no matter what the destruction of Ryukyu by the French becomes, Prussia will support him unconditionally, and we can help him develop a reconstruction plan......"

"I know that Xiao Letian is very rich, he is still very influential in the Qing Kingdom, I have studied his methods, and he is very good at mobilizing the wealth accumulated within the Qing Kingdom. This is very good, let him pay for it, and we Prussia will pay for science and technology, and it won't take two or three years to guarantee that we can return him a brand new Ryukyu ......"

The secretary wrote hard and recorded the prime minister's order word for word: "Great, I think Mr. Xiao will be very happy to get this news......"

Just as Bismarck and his secretary were busy in the morning light, there was a sudden sound of footsteps from outside the study, "Prime Minister, Hamburg emergency... The Earl of Derby of England requested a secret visit to Prussia...... Now the Count's cruiser is cruising on the sea..."

"What..."Bismarck was wiping his face with a hot towel, and when he heard this, he stood up, "Earl Derby... Which Earl of Derby?"

Bismarck knowingly asked, who else could the earl who could mobilize the cruiser as a ship, but the Derby Prime Minister who had just taken office in June?

"Quick, get dressed, get ready for the train, I'm going to Hamburg...... Now immediately send a telegram to inform Hamburg to arrange for the Prime Minister to move in, and remember to keep everything confidential......"

Now that Bismarck's brain is running at a rapid pace, the biggest variable in all his plans during the British Prime Minister's secret visit to Wèn is that although Britain's national interests have always been on the sea, this does not mean that he does not care about the political changes on the European continent.

The Battle of Prussia, although countless diplomatic work was done to keep the British neutral, but there was no secret visit by the Prime Minister in the script, and it would be strange if there were no ghosts in the new Earl of Derby's secret visit to Prussia.

Trains are speeding across the European plains, on the Berlin-Hamburg railway line, where all trains, including military trains, make way for the Prime Minister's special train. On the sea west of Hamburg, a passenger ferry arranged by the city council has already received the Earl of Derby, an old man who walks slowly on crutches, the leader of the British Conservative Party and the newly appointed Prime Minister, the Earl of Derby.

"Dear Earl, Prime Minister Bismarck has arranged the most beautiful villa for you, you go to take a shower and rest first, and the Prime Minister will arrive in the afternoon ......"

The Earl of Derby was not a good-natured man, and European politicians had a very vivid impression of the old count, horse racing, gambling, gout, and a very aggressive eloquence, and the most disgusting thing about this kind of person was to let others call the shots for him.

"No, I'm coming to Prussia not only to meet old friends, but also to see new ones...... Now that a dazzling new star has appeared in the international political arena, how dare I, as the Prime Minister of the British Empire, not come to pay a visit?

The commissioner sent by the city council shrank his neck at that time, and sighed in his heart, "Mr. Xiao, you can ask for more blessings, this hot-tempered old man is not easy to mess with...... Also, the temper of a person who can be friends with the iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck is probably not much better. ”

At this time, the commissioner saw the earl's left foot at a glance, he knew very well that the old earl's gout had occurred again, and now was the time when he was in the worst mood, and it was really not a good time to meet Xiao Lotian at this time.

The commissioner was right, the Earl of Derby, who had been transferred to the passenger ship, had no intention of admiring the scenery on both sides of the Elbe, perhaps in his mind only the scenery on both sides of the Thames was worth seeing, and he did not stop nagging along the way.

No one dares to eavesdrop on the Prime Minister's nagging, if they hear it, I'm afraid they will really have to mourn for Xiao Letian.

"An East Asian barbarian, a complete liar, actually wanted me to make this trip...... Damn, if I were to find his weakness, I would definitely teach him a hard lesson, not to mention that the French sent a punitive fleet, and now even I want the navy to blow up your old home......"

"Phew......" A mouthful of thick phlegm spit into the river water, but it seemed a little unlucky, and a small amount of phlegm was blown by the wind and fell on his face.

"Damn...... Damn it...", the Earl of Derby took out his handkerchief to wipe his face, and just then the gout of his left foot began to torment him again, and a faint tingling pain made him lean against the railing.

"Damn Chinese if it weren't for you, why would I make this trip...... You wait, damn Xiao Letian, you wait..."
