Chapter 252, Knights of the Holy Maiden

The Sun's revelation had an unexpected effect. That's to make our Toulon saint inexplicably more than a large group of British fans.

A group of upper-class middle school girls began to collect Polina's works everywhere, and then imitated Polina's men's clothes, used ordinary saddles to ride horses (at that time, women rode horses, using side-riding saddles), "left lead yellow, right Qingcang", go fox hunting with double-barreled shotguns, and even go in and out of entertainment venues to call girls!

Some conservative English gentlemen even complained that "one day, they will enter Paris and capture the Bonaparte alive." It's okay for someone else to arrive, but that heretic named Polina must be tied up and burned to death! ”

But on the other hand, Polina was also loved and even adored by the British upper class because of her scathing, cynical irony, or tranquil and heartwarming essays (her French works are constantly translated into English, and the ideas for her essays are often from her eldest brother).

A secondary school boy even published a statement in the newspaper "The Voice of the People" (it is relatively cheap to publish such a statement because it is a newspaper with a small circulation), declaring that he intends to establish a holy organization, the Knights of the Holy Maiden, to defend the Holy Maiden of Polina and fight to the death against the "stinking shit that does not despise humans" who viciously attack "our Holy Maiden".

And the organization of this so-called "Holy Female Knights" was really established later, and there are some great middle school boys in this knights. For example, Byron and Shelley, a pair of good friends, both joined the "Holy Knights" back then.

Of course, at this time, the two good friends were still young, and the eldest Byron was only 11 years old at this time, and as for Shelley, he was just 8 years old at this time. So in this debate, none of them had a chance to play. It is said that Byron regretted that he was born too late.

Pollina's halo effect incidentally brought their two older brothers into the eyes of the British. This is not to say that the British did not know Napoleon and Joseph before, but Polina's aura made the British change their perspective and no longer look at them only through the eyes of the enemy, and then they found that "the one who buys the cake is really legendary!" ”

Of course, this is later. And now, the biggest impact of Polina's identity has made the related controversy more intense.

The conservative guys seized this opportunity to accuse Polina's travels of ulterior motives: "Polina is the sister of the first consul of France, and her actions must have been instructed by Napoleon to discredit England or even divide England - is there really anyone who naively thinks that now that we are at peace with France, they think that we and France are good friends?" Do the French really mean to us? This is the conspiracy of the French against us! ”

The liberals, on the other hand, retorted, saying, "Is it because the person who pointed out the problem is French, that the problem does not exist?" Does Miss Bonaparte think that one plus one equals two, and we must think that one plus one equals three, or else we would be unpatriotic? Facts are facts, and facts do not hurt Britain. Instead, blindfolded, he stuck his head in the sand and said, 'Lions don't exist. That's the biggest harm to Britain. Don't the gentlemen of the Times Review know even such a simple truth? Do you really want to press the British head into the sand? ”

Some of the more radical tabloids (which had to use more radical ways to attract readers because of their low circulation and high prices) simply suspected that the old men blamed Polina for exposing their conspiracy.

"For a long time, the reactionary rulers of England have been brutally oppressing the workers of England, whether men or women, adults or children, (of course, they basically do not bully the elderly, because the poor in England do not live to grow old!). None of them can escape their blood-sucking fangs.

And when those poor people lose their ability to work and lose the value they exploit, they treat these poor people as useless garbage and rush to eliminate them by all means, just like they dispose of garbage.

Hospitals, especially those of the hypocritical Anglican hospitals, are not actually used to help and save the poor, they are actually used to systematically and efficiently eliminate the poor who have lost their value and are becoming a factor of instability in Britain!

That is why, after Miss Bonaparte pointed out the problems and even proposed improvements that did not require much strength to achieve. Not only was her plan not completed, but she was even constantly being attacked - because she revealed the truth that some bad guys had been trying to hide!

This reminds us of the fairy tale that Mademoiselle Bonaparte wrote earlier called "The King's New Clothes". Now Mademoiselle Bonaparte is the child in her own story who cries out, 'The king wears nothing'. And some scammers in Britain still want to gag this child's mouth and make us believe that we are all fools! It is true that we were all fools who were deceived by them, but now, the people of England have woken up! ”

There were also more actionable ones, such as Charles James Fox, the leader of the Whigs, who simply wrote in the English News Review that "I don't know whether the theories about Miss Bonaparte and the Lancet are correct." But I strongly support Mademoiselle Bonaparte's statement: 'Experiment is the highest standard for testing theory.' Therefore, we intend to call on those who are interested in understanding this issue, and we will jointly fund the construction of a new hospital." In this hospital, we strictly follow the recommendations of the Lancet, and then compare ourselves with those hospitals that adhere to tradition, and let the facts prove who is right! ”

Mr. Fox was a man of great action, and within a few days he had converted a French-style hospital out of a rented warehouse. Mr. Fox also made no secret of the fact that his French friends helped him a lot in the construction of this hospital. Today, for example, the doctors and nurses in hospitals come from the European continent.

"I don't think death shy away from doctors because they're French, or because they're English. If someone thinks like that, then he is really discriminating against the whole of the United Kingdom. The reason why I use doctors and nurses from the European continent in my hospitals is to save time on training staff so that conclusions can be drawn as quickly as possible. ”

But the decisive blow was soon delivered. More than a month passed quickly, and a new issue of The Lancet was due to be published.

Unlike the last issue when it came out, The Lancet was constantly mentioned by both sides during the month's controversy, and now in the UK, The Lancet is already very famous, although it may not have a good reputation. So when this issue of The Lancet was about to be published, the eyes of almost all of England's media widened to see how The Lancet was going to respond to the previous turmoil.

However, The Lancet announced that the publication of the new issue of The Lancet would be postponed for some "technical" reasons.

As soon as the news was released, it immediately caused another uproar and commotion. The conservative media suddenly came to the rescue, ridiculing The Lancet for delaying publication because "their lies could not be fulfilled, and they were afraid". The liberal media, on the other hand, say that the available evidence is sufficient, and that the guys in the Press League of England are simply arguing. However, in terms of voice alone, at this time, the voice of the English News League clearly prevailed.

As for the "sevenpence coalition", they put on a posture that has nothing to do with us, but only focus on the facts themselves, and show that they do not take a particular position on these arguments. Of course, their statement was also interpreted by the newspapers of the Press League of England as "weak-hearted".

Nearly two weeks later, just as the guys at the Press Union in England were beaming, a new issue of The Lancet finally came out.

This issue of The Lancet is surprisingly thick, three or four times thicker than before, almost a thick book. In the preface to this issue of The Lancet, the editor explains the reasons for the postponement of publication

"In this issue, we will be the first to publish an epoch-making medical paper - "Research on the Relationship between Bacteria and Various Diseases". This is a great work that has created an era, and we think of this treatise as the Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy in the medical world. In this remarkable work, Dr. Carroll reveals the causes of a range of deadly diseases, including smallpox, typhoid fever, tetanus, and tuberculosis. A critical door has been opened to avoid contracting these and other similar diseases, and ultimately to effectively cure them.

But this paper (which I prefer to call a book) is quite ambitious, and there is a lot of expertise involved. It's not easy to review it and translate it correctly into English. For this reason, we had to postpone the publication of this issue of The Lancet. Still, as Miss Chrissy says in her work, 'a lot of good things are worth the wait.' ’”
