"Ladies and gentlemen, I am sure you must have seen the news that the Emperor of China is moving the capital. I would like to digress a little, we have admired the Russian dervishes for more than a century to push the Russian borders thousands of miles away. Of course, more than a century of efforts collapsed in just a few years. And now I want to tell you a real thing that happened not so long ago, not a story, but a fact. There are those who have spent more than three years on their two legs walking a truth that is more than a century further than that of the Russian ascetics. ”

Councillor Cecil 61 Rhodes lifted the cloth on the back panel behind his back, on which was a rough map of China, marked with bold red lines the key points from Yong'an in 1852 to Canton in 1855. From Yong'an to Changsha, from Changsha to Nanjing, from Nanjing to Anhui, from Anhui to Tianjin, from Tianjin back to Nanjing, and from Nanjing all the way to Guangdong. Not only the backboard, but Cecil 61 Rhodes also printed some simple drawings and distributed them to members of the British Parliament. When most of the MPs had seen it, Councillor Cecil 61 Rhodes continued:

"The Great Emperor of China led his followers along this road step by step, and the distance exceeded the total length of the Russians from the Volga to Alaska. In front of the Chinese emperor were not natives who did not even have metal weapons, but hundreds of thousands of troops armed with firearms. But the Great Emperor of China was not stopped by his enemies, and he and his followers defeated all of them. We don't need to go into the details. He commanded the army and in a few years traveled many times as far as he had ever traveled, reaching farther than the Russian ascetics. ”

Biographies of Weeser are now very popular in Europe, with a small number of books being more serious and most of them bizarre. Now that Councillor Cecil 61 Rhodes told the journey that Weeser had personally embarked on with a very realistic attitude, many British parliamentarians were also shocked. Compared with these two short-lived emperors, Weeser sat firmly in the capital of China and firmly controlled the power of China.

"A lot of Europeans have been to China, and many parliamentarians or their families have been to Nanjing. Oh. Many communists also went to China to plead for help. Some parliamentarians described the Chinese emperor and his ministers as 'a bunch of men without an inch of land'. At this point, Councillor Cecil 61 Rhodes' tone was tinged with mockery. There was also a burst of laughter in the British Parliament, which was ridiculed by British parliamentarians who had a completely negative opinion of China's land state-ownership policy.

"Some people praise the magnificence of Nanjing, and I can understand that. There is no city in Europe with a population of more than 7 million before. Some people are very praising the beautiful silk coats they wear, and the Chinese silk is indeed of good quality. But I want to remind you that no matter how gorgeous the garments of these people are, their real clothes are military uniforms. No matter what important position they are given, they are essentially soldiers. These terrible people...... I would like to call them very respectable people, who have personally traveled thousands of miles and trampled all their enemies under their feet. They were warriors, conquering cities and killing countless people. They are pioneers, cultivating vast lands. I think it's very glorious! ”

The relaxed atmosphere brought about by the brief banter and ridicule was washed away by the words of Councillor Cecil 61 Rhodes. This description is very effective in shaping the image of the founder of the Republic of China, and more importantly, it is indeed very close to the truth. Glancing at the members of the parliament with a majestic gaze, Councillor Cecil 61 Rhodes paused for a moment before continuing his speech in a heavy voice.

"We in England had such a great time, when we had nothing, but our fleets bravely marched against the unpredictable winds and waves of the Atlantic, and our colonists marched towards vast and unknown lands. The result was the creation of a British Empire that was unprecedentedly vast and powerful. Each of our parliamentarians has the blood of our predecessors in it, and it is the common blood of the people of the British Empire. But that era passed, the North American colonies became independent, and the vast colonies further north were sold to China. If this continues, I can probably assert that the lands that the British Empire still holds will be lost one by one. This future may seem absurd, but it is by no means impossible. Because the British Empire is now identified with the British Empire is limited to the British Isles, and the rest of the territory is not the land of our British Empire. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the right idea. Ladies and Gentlemen, If our ancestors had known what we were thinking today, they would probably have rolled in their graves in anger! ”

This passage was harsh, but the response was not great. Many members of parliament knew that Congressman Cecil 61 Rhodes was going to promote to the British Parliament his plan to solve the United States and establish New England in North America.

It was clear that Councillor Cecil 61 Rhodes had also anticipated such a situation, so he did not speak immediately, but turned around and put the cloth that had originally covered the back panel again. Just when everyone thought he was going to die, Councillor Cecil 61 Rhodes turned and pointed to the cloth that covered it, "Gentlemen, we could have covered the facts like this. But these things don't go away because we make selective actions. And do we think that what we cover is the great work of the emperors of other countries? No, you're wrong! While we turn a blind eye to the great exploits of other nations, we also turn a blind eye to the great enterprising spirit of our British Empire. ”

"Go ahead! Go conquer! Go Build! This was the foundation of the strength of the British Empire. If we are to rest on our laurels, I also want the British Empire to rest on its laurels in a vast territory of millions of square kilometres. Some MPs now believe that the British Empire is waging a terrible war, and if it fails, the British Empire will be completely destroyed. I'm going to tell you that's not true. When we attacked the Spanish Grand Fleet, it was said that if we failed, we would be destroyed, but we won. When we attacked the combined French and Spanish fleets, some people said that if we failed, we would be destroyed, but we won. Now there are people who say that if we fail, we will perish, and I do not see this as an object to be feared, but as a blessing for victory. Our history proves to us that such moments have always been a prelude to a more glorious era for the British Empire. Our history proves that in the face of such a situation, the final victor must be the British Empire! ”

It is not without support of Congressman Cecil 61 Rhodes, and in the last year or so, more and more British parliamentarians and British leaders have become increasingly interested in building a British Empire in North America. Now the Chinese emperor's choice to move the capital in order to develop the economy has shaken the British upper class. For European countries, the relocation of the capital has not happened for too long. As for moving the capital from a wealthy area to a relatively poor area, it is even more unthinkable.

In the face of the speech of Councillor Cecil 61 Rhodes, the parliament erupted in quite warm applause. Although this enthusiastic response did not mean that the applauding parliamentarians would immediately support the bill to launch an attack on the United States, the decision of His Majesty Wei Ze, the Emperor of China, did shock the bloody British parliamentarians. A continental England with an area of millions of square kilometers is indeed a matter of yearning for many British parliamentarians. China is a huge country with a population of more than 700 million, and the British upper echelons have to admit that it is this vast territory that can support such a large Chinese. And millions of square kilometers of England, how many people will England have? Two hundred million? 300 million? Or is it more?

Just when the British Parliament's consideration of the future of Britain was becoming more and more inclined to a new direction, Uncle Ma was also discussing with Uncle En on the sickbed. There is more and more discussion about China throughout Europe, and those who have been spreading the theory of China's collapse because of China's implementation of land state ownership have been much less in the past decade, and even if the remaining people are getting louder, everyone has long since lost the level of attention they used to have. What are the reasons for China's success? Can China's success be replicated across Europe? Not only is there a discussion at the top of Europe, but there is also a lot of discussion among the people.

The two people who can best understand China's policy in the whole of Europe are probably Uncle Ma and Uncle En. The news of the relocation of the Chinese emperor's capital made Uncle Ma have to sigh to Uncle En: "Big beard, I didn't expect China to be able to implement the role of productive forces in promoting society to such an extent. ”

Uncle En has a very indifferent view of life and death, even so, seeing Uncle Ma who was tormented by illness to the point of being skinny, Uncle En's heart was still very uncomfortable. He pretended to be relaxed and said, "Karl, do you still think Weezer will become the biggest reactionary? ”

It's a topic that has been discussed for a long time, and it's even turned into a joke between the two. Uncle Ma smiled slightly, "Moore beard, my opinion is still the same as before." If Weeser attributed all his work to private property, if the system created by Weeser attributed all this to private property, he would be a greatest reactionary. ”

Uncle En also forced a smile, he held Uncle Ma's hand and said, "Carl, you are always so strict with Wei Ze. ”

Uncle Ma didn't laugh, he said a little abruptly: "We are always strict with hope, and we are always the most picky. The price was so great in exchange for the nationalization of land, and I don't want to see such gains eventually usurped. ”

Europe has become more and more aware of the situation of the Chinese civil war two decades ago, and it has made Europe feel the real shock. In the far East, the lives of 100 million people disappeared silently in that civil war. China's progress in the aftermath of the civil war is indeed formidable, but the cost of progress is too great to ignore. That's a third of the population of all the countries of Europe combined.

"Then you should get better as soon as possible, and then we will go to China together. If you were to China in person, I think Weeser would have met with us. Uncle En looked at Uncle Ma's increasingly pale face, and felt the temperature on Uncle Ma's palm getting lower and lower, and his voice had begun to tremble.

didn't respond to Uncle En's words, Uncle Ma slowly pressed his eyes. A slight voice came from the gently squirming lips, "Bearded, I feel blessed to have a friend like you." ”

A meteor streaked across the sky, leaving a short, brilliant trail that seemed so bright in the pre-dawn night sky. In Japan, thousands of miles away from Europe, Toshizo Hijikata rode on a red horse from Hokkaido, and shouted to the people who followed him, "Let's go!" Target Tokyo! ”

After giving the order to attack, Hijikata urged his horses and galloped forward. The Hokkaido Army, which had rested for five months in the cold winter of Northeast Japan, rumbled towards the Meiji Army in the south like a torrent, following Hijikata Suizo. The Japanese Civil War once again entered the phase of fierce fighting.
