Chapter Seventy-One: Results (Part II)
"In this world, there may be three points of friendship between people, but when it comes to the relationship between two groups, to maintain a relationship, it must rely on the exchange of interests between each other, so when one of them takes the initiative to show favor to the other party for no reason, it means that they must have very serious and difficult troubles that need help from outsiders. ā
Unexpectedly, knocking on my head to teach me a lesson, it turned out to be a crossing, so far still ignorant of modern society, the little girl was born in the Ouchi court, where there were constant disputes between guns and arrows, and she was naturally familiar with this so-called game and cooperation between interest groups, and easily saw through Mickey's true purpose:" As a representative of the mission, this red-haired foreign devil does not directly raise such a serious matter in public, but has to contact hints in private, indicating that the form is already very dangerous and has to be done carefully...... So, you listen carefully to me! If you dare to fire a cannon with a mouth full of tune, believe it or not, my aunt and grandmother will whip you!?"
First, the domineering side leak crushed me, and Rong'er pointed at Mitchell: "You say!"
In front of others, Mitchell, who was unceremoniously called a red-haired foreign devil, was also full of black lines, and was stunned for a while before coughing and starting to talk about the real purpose of his trip.
The predecessor of the European Institute of Alchemists, the so-called Europa Alchemist Association, in that era when physics and chemistry were not separated from the occult credits, the Alchemist Association was a centralized organization set up by a few big alchemy families with deep roots to lead a group of small families to monopolize the alchemy market, and in that dark Middle Ages, these people did have a chauvinistic plot, using their knowledge to monopolize the so-called alchemy science. No outsiders have access to the secrets they know, and those members of the wild road who try to do their own research and devote themselves to science are also suppressed by them by various means, or directly killed......
This Iron Curtain reigned in isolation until the time when the European Enlightenment was in full swing and any old and conservative forces that confronted it would be irreversibly wiped out. The Alchemist Guild was forced to finally make a compromise and change its name to the European Institute, and began to absorb scientific geniuses from non-family backgrounds, but these ancient families were still unwilling to give up their status and interests, so since the establishment of the European Institute, the top of the power of the Institute has been controlled by the scientific research families with a long and rich heritage, who occupy the most abundant scientific research resources to control the most mysterious scientific achievements, and sit firmly in the ruling position in the Institute.
Therefore, the European Institute is in terms of the composition of personnel and the division of responsibilities. It is very different from us, since Chen Sanshan and below, the Institute of Asian Studies is all a bunch of poor and white proletarian old fritters, with a single composition and the same position, and all of them are crazy people who are obsessed with research, even if there are contradictions between them, they also stay in the category of contradictions among the people, and the two old monkeys scratch each other a few spouts, and then threaten to blow up the real yĆ n room to greet the ancestors of the eighteenth generation can pass. Overall, it can be regarded as a harmonious atmosphere.
The European Institute is the opposite. Since its inception, this unequal difference in status has doomed the European Institute to divide into two different classes, the so-called "scientific aristocracy" and the "scientific research commoner", and thousands of years of human history have been telling us a simple philosophy that is both classic and unbreakable: the contradictions and struggles between different classes are always more frequent than the disputes within the same class. It's also much more tragic.
If the nobles of the family want to maintain their authority and voice within the institute, they must use their privileges to suppress those newcomers to the institute who are amazingly talented and amazing, but have no background and no family support, and the scientists of the European Institute who are not members of the family have to rise up and fight for their power and status if they want to get ahead or realize their scientific research dreams. Therefore, the factional struggles and power struggles within the Institute of European Studies have been particularly wonderful for decades and centuries.
In the first few decades, the scientific research family has been relying on the rich inheritance and profound heritage, taking advantage of the inside of the institute, and steadily suppressing the so-called commoners, but in modern times, the development of science has long been changing with each passing day, and no matter how thick the old book is, it cannot stop the gradual decline of the family with insufficient ability of the descendantsIt also marks that the days of the monopoly of scientific research in European research institutes have become a thing of the past.
"For most of the members of the European Institute, this is progress in getting rid of old habits, but for the members of the Institute from major families, this is not the case......" Explaining so much to us in one breath that Mitchell was tired enough, he took a glass of wine and moistened his throat before continuing" Since Mr. McCourt came to power, the major families have also immediately entered into offensive and defensive alliances, indiscriminately obstructing any decisions made by the person in charge, and even using despicable means to embezzle and sabotage the research process and research results of non-family members of the institute, which has in fact caused a serious split within the European Institute......"
"I know all this," after hearing these words, Jiang Shasha also frowned, and began to worry about her mother who was still in Europe: "But the European Institute has been like this for more than 20 years, although the friction and conflict have been continuous, but it is not to the point of being out of control, right?"
"It's true that it hasn't gotten to that point before," Mitch smiled wryly, "because we, as scientists, don't want internal struggles to replace scientific research as the main theme of the institute no matter what...... But in recent times, those families seem to have the intention of breaking this taboo after gaining the support of the North American Institute, and Mr. McCourt said, perhaps, we will have to be ready to fight......"
"That is to say, the old princes have always been dissatisfied with the new emperor but did not dare to do it, and now with the support of outsiders, they are ready to pull the flag and rebel?" I followed Rong'er's train of thought and sorted out the causes and consequences in one sentence.
"Well, you can say that," Mitch replied.
"Then you want us to send troops to quell the chaos for you?" I inadvertently asked enthusiastically, I really didn't have any enthusiasm for this kind of thing in my heart, in the end, this is also their own business, and it sounds like the situation in Europe has been tense to the point that it may be out of the brain at any time, we can't just put our lives out because we owe someone a big favor, right? What's more, we still have to be busy subduing Chen Sanshan's unfilial son to save the world! (To be continued......
