Chapter 525: The Times (Thanks to the Appeal for the Monthly Pass)
"Me?" Wei Xiaobao pointed to his chest with his thumb, "My father is long gone." ”
William said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Ling Zun had passed away, even if I didn't say it just now." ”
Wei Xiaobao got up from the bed and said, "It was many years ago, I can't remember what my father looks like, and you don't have to say I'm sorry." You clean up slowly, I'll go see how the eighth sister is tidying up. ”
"Wait for me, I'll go with you!" William scrambled to pile all the unpacked luggage on the bed.
The two men came out of the cabin and went to the deck, where many passengers were on the side of the boat saying goodbye to their relatives and friends on the shore.
A few classmates who came together were also chatting on the deck, Gao Mengdie was also among them, and Wei Xiaobao and William also walked over.
A few British classmates were admiring the greatness of China, and it was the first time they had seen such a large steamship, and when they came from England before, they were on a British sailboat, and now they are on a large steamship with a steam engine, and their excitement can be imagined.
Gao Mengdie was cheering for these British classmates: "Don't be discouraged, Britain is about to become a maritime power, as long as you are willing to work hard." ”
"Okay?" One of them is called Green Master's Tract.
Gao Mengdie said confidently: "We are now going to the UK to help the development of the UK, as long as we work hard, there is nothing that cannot be done, I believe that the UK has the ability to build the steam engine, let us work together!" ”
The crowd clenched their fists and raised them; "Let's work together!"
Wei Xiaobao and William happened to be among them, and they also raised their fists at the same moment.
"Woo——!"
The ocean liner sounded its whistle, the sailors were nervously recovering the ropes that had been set around the docks, and huge steel anchors had been pulled out of the water.
A mezzo-soprano voice came from the loudspeaker on the passenger ship: "Welcome passengers aboard the ocean liner 'Dongfeng', the Dongfeng is about to depart for the beautiful River Thames, please say goodbye to our beautiful Manchester City as you leave Manchester City!" We're going on a long voyage! ”
Manchester City is the Bangkok of later generations, and at this time it is already a beautiful port city in our China.
The "Dongfeng" started slowly, and the people cheered enthusiastically......
There is a long corridor on the side of the ship, and there is a row of chairs in the corridor for passengers to sit and enjoy the view of the sea.
Gao Mengdie, Wei Xiaobao and William were sitting on three side-by-side chairs, they were not here to enjoy the scenery, they were discussing problems.
Gao Mengdie asked William: "What are your plans after returning to the UK?" ”
William said: "After I go back, I will prepare to run for state legislature, and I will ask the eighth sister to help me." ”
Gao Mengdie said: "You and I have a friendship with classmates, not to mention assisting you in the race for state legislature, you are the speaker of the competing parliament, and I will go all out to support you." It's just that do you have people in your country who support you? ”
William said lightly: "I am not worried about this, with the influence of my family, and my experience of studying in China, the support rate of more than half of the votes is no problem." ”
Gao Mengdie said: "You have this self-confidence, I am very happy for you, I wish you success!" ”
William asked: "May I ask the eighth sister, what are your plans to go to the UK this time?" ”
Gao Mengdie said: "Stabilize the political situation in the United Kingdom and prosper the British economy." This princess is here to serve the British people wholeheartedly. ”
William was very moved: "A Chinese princess, but thinking of the development of our Britain, is really touching, I return to the UK, I will definitely convey your ambitions to every member of Parliament, let them know, who is our real friend of the UK!" ”
Wei Xiaobao interjected: "And I, Wei Xiaobao, Wei Xiaobao is also your friend." ”
William smiled, "Yes, we are all friends. ”
Gao Mengdie scolded Wei Xiaobao: "Go aside, what are you doing when we talk?" ”
Wei Xiaobao said with a hippie smile: "Did I get a mistake?" Aren't we friends? ”
William and Muddy said: "It's a friend, it's a friend, we're all friends." ”
Gao Mengdie asked William: "Do you have a newspaper in the UK?" ”
William replied, "No." ”
Gao Mengdie said excitedly: "It's good if you don't have it!" It's good if you don't have it ”
William looked at Gao Mengdie with confused eyes.
Gao Mengdie smiled: "William, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I mean, I'm going to open the first newspaper in the UK, I hope to get your support." ”
William said, "That's good! This way I can read the newspaper in England as well. But I wish I could open this newspaper with you. ”
Wei Xiaobao interjected again: "I also count as one, the eighth sister is the president of the newspaper, William, you are the chairman, and I am the vice president of the newspaper." ”
Gao Mengdie said unhappily: "Why do you have a share of everything!?" William, seriously, if you want to open a newspaper in the UK, you are really indispensable. First of all, you need to come out with the funds. ”
William hurriedly said: "There is no problem with the funds, our family can participate in the shares." ”
Gao Mengdie thought for a while and said: "I am the backstage boss, and your family will come forward at the front desk, so that the newspaper will have a future for development in the UK." ”
William said very gentlemanly: "Everything is arranged by the princess!" ”
"Everything is arranged by the princess!" Wei Xiaobao repeated William's words.
William suddenly asked: "Eighth sister, what do you mean by what you just said about stabilizing the political situation in Britain?" ”
Gao Mengdie said unceremoniously: "Your British king, Cromwell II is a weak guy, he can't control the British army, nor the British Parliament, if it weren't for the right support of my Chinese army, I'm afraid this Cromwell II would have fallen long ago." I went to England this time to support Cromwell II and help him tide over the difficulties, so I also hope that you will use your contacts in the UK to help me stabilize the political situation in Britain. ”
William said firmly: "I obey the princess's arrangement!" ”
"I will also obey the princess's arrangement!" Wei Xiaobao interjected again, and as he spoke, he leaned back on the backrest.
Gao Mengdie quietly kicked Wei Xiaobao's chair, Wei Xiaobao didn't sit still, and flipped to the ground.
"Hahaha......!"
Gao Mengdie laughed heartily, William also laughed, Wei Xiaobao got up and didn't dare to say a word in the face of the barbarian princess.
William laughed enough before asking Gao Mengdie: "Eighth sister, what is the name of our newspaper?" ”
Wei Xiaobao said: "It's called 'Xiaobao Daily'."
Gao Mengdie said: "Call you big!" William, you want something nice. ”
William said: "We are now taking the 'Dongfeng', it is better to call it 'Dongfeng Daily'." ”
Gao Mengdie felt that this name was not very good, she remembered the beautiful Thames mentioned by the female announcer before setting sail just now, and she was inspired to say: "It's better to call it "The Times". ”
