Thursday morning, July 28, 1927.
Crocker Park, Dublin, Ireland.
Che Gong Gong, Ma Xiao Xiao. No one made a fuss this time.
More than a dozen horse-drawn wagons carrying workers and construction materials came straight to the stadium gates. The lead was a small car, and before it could get to a stop, the high-spirited Mr. Ganon-Townsend jumped out of the car.
He looked around with satisfaction, waved his hand to the workers behind him and said, "Okay, let's get started!" β
Remember this place?
On November 21 last year, that was the day our Master Yuan and Mr. Baker Sr. played little white ball and explained Edison and Father and Son at that country club.
It was here that the second "Scarlet Sunday" in Irish history took place.
There was supposed to be an Irish football match here that afternoon. A group of members of the "Irish Police Reserve" and the "Black and Brown Unit" surrounded the stadium and began to conduct a search. The two forces, notorious for their ruthlessness, opened fire on civilian spectators, killing 12 people and wounding 60.
In other words, if the premiere of "Famine Orphan Girl" is not placed here, can it still be placed there?
At this time, many Irish people also gathered here, because the news that Crocker Park Stadium would be the venue for the premiere had long since spread throughout Dublin.
Seeing them coming, these people also gathered around and asked, "This gentleman, may I ask if you are working for "Orphans of Famine"?" β
"yes, do you have anything to do?"
"Is there anything we can do to help?"
"No, we've got enough."
"Don't get me wrong, sir. We're not here to look for a job......"
"We don't take money......"
"We just want to do our part......"
"Yes, sir. Anything can be ......."
Townsend looked at his fellow Irishmen, nodded heavily, and said, "Alright then, please help us unload our things from the car first." β
"No problem!"
Meanwhile, a press conference is being held in a hotel not far from Crocker Park.
This press conference was announced by the crew of "Orphan Girl of Famine", which naturally attracted journalists from all over the world.
"Look, that must be Miss Emma Pulitzer, right?"
"That's right, the one next to her is her fiancΓ©, Mr. Louis Baker."
The two of them had already been "released", and then naturally rushed to Dublin immediately.
To be precise, they were not detained, that is, they stayed in London for two more days in the name of cooperating with the police investigation. Of course, it's because of their extraordinary status.
Lin Huiyin, who is not extraordinary enough to be identical, and is also from Seris, is still cooperating with the police investigation, and he doesn't know when he will be able to regain his freedom.
"Mr. Griffith, I'm a reporter for The Times. I'd like to ask, how did you guys get to Ireland as a crew? β
The film master frowned and said, "Don't you know that the historical background of our film is the Great Irish Famine?" In that case, of course we have to come to Ireland. β
"I'm sorry, but I'm asking how you got in touch with the Irish?"
Mr. Kennedy Sr. immediately said, "It was I who invited the crew here on behalf of the Irish side." The reason is simple, this is a film about the history of Ireland. β
"I'm a journalist for The Guardian. So Mr. Kennedy, did you know about the 723 kidnapping beforehand? β
This time it was JFK's turn and his father frowned and said, "I don't know." β
"I'm a reporter for The Telegraph, and I want to ask why the writers of The Orphan of Famine didn't attend this press conference?"
Kennedy Sr. replied, "Dr. Yuan was overly frightened and slightly injured, so he needed time to recuperate." β
"So may I ask Mr. Kennedy, does he have anything to do with this kidnapping? Why did he come to Ireland with His Royal Highnesses the two Crown Princes? β
"As far as I know, it doesn't matter. It was a complete coincidence. β
"Now there is a theory that Dr. Yuan is the mastermind of this incident, may I ask Mr. Kennedy ......what is your opinion?"
"Nonsense, this is absolute nonsense!" JFK's father exclaimed, "All right, ladies, gentlemen. This is the press conference for "Famine Orphans", and we are no longer accepting inquiries that are not related to the film. β
"Mr. Kennedy, I'm Emma Pulitzer, a reporter for Le Monde."
"Hello, Miss Pulitzer. I have read all the reports of Le Monde this time, and it is very exciting. β
"Thank you, Mr. Kennedy. I would like to interview Miss Lillian Guish for the audience and friends, what do you think of this film as the female lead? β
The big star said generously: "I can only say that this is the hardest shooting in my acting career, you don't know how much 'torture' I and our actresses have suffered......"
At this time, our Master Yuan was walking and chatting with an "old friend" in the grove outside the farm, and they were communicating individually.
Their attachΓ©s and "guards" were far away. The two old smoking guns each held a cigar and chatted harmoniously in the lush woods.
"Dr. Yuan, I have to admit that you are indeed a genius, a criminal genius."
"Hehe......" Yuan Yanqian chuckled when he heard this, "Your Excellency Churchill, I don't understand what you're talking about at all......
They were brought up by Winston Churchill.
And after Master Yuan finished this vote, he was already very inflated, and he became even more inflated.
Like many villains who die of talking, he also has a desire to talk, not to mention that Dan Brown has been researched to believe that he has histrionic personality disorder.
So is there a more suitable audience than Churchill?
So he didn't even think about the consequences, so he agreed.
"I also wrote a detective, but it's not Professor Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes."
Churchill shook his head and said, "No, Professor Moriarty is probably not as imaginative and executive as Dr. Yuan. β
Yuan Yan shrugged and said, "Your Excellency Churchill, it seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of me. That's right, it was I who brought the two royal highnesses out of the legation. But I didn't expect that there were also accomplices of those bandits at the back door. They threatened the lives of the two highnesses, and I had no choice but to drop my gun and surrender. β
"Humph!" Churchill sneered and said, "Dr. Yuan, once again I have to admit that this is indeed a good story. β
"Stories, facts, facts, stories......" Master Yuan sighed helplessly, "Everyone has their own ideas, and I can't help it." β
He paused and said, "Your Excellency Churchill, are you here to arrest me?" β
"It's a shame that I can't arrest you right away, according to our agreement, at least before this damn premiere!" Churchill gritted his teeth and said, "I just wanted to satisfy my curiosity." Why would someone like you do such a thing? β
Yuan Yan said in her heart, I'm afraid you don't know what the spirit of death is.
"Your Excellency, you are asking the wrong question." He smiled slightly, "Hypothesis, of course, it's just hypothetical, if this matter is really done by me, then you should ask me why I didn't just kill the two highnesses, the consequences are much more serious than now." β
Churchill raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, Dr. Yuan, then why don't you do that?" β
Master Yuan said in his heart again, I'm afraid you don't know what S value is.
"Because ......" Yuan Yanqian lowered her head and smiled at him, and said mysteriously in a low voice, "I like you British Empire!" β
"Huh?" This time, one of the future Big Four was really stunned.
"Your Excellency Churchill, the people of the world...... At least Americans and Chinese like to hear me scold Britain, so I'll scold Britain. If I really defended you, you wouldn't give me pounds. β
"In the same way, people all over the world like to see Britain get out of trouble, so I'm going to find a way to make it out of you."
"But, at heart, I love the UK."
When he saw that Churchill, whose face was full of doubts, was about to speak, he raised his hand to stop him: "Your Excellency, please listen to me and finish speaking......
"I love England because you have conquered the world, dominated the world, and built an empire on which the sun never sets, even greater than Spain. Even my country suffers from it. But as a history buff, I can't help but express my admiration for you. β
"I love Britain because you were the first to complete the Industrial Revolution and let the light of modern civilization shine all over the world. Even you have to admit that such a great cause requires a lot of bones and countless people's flesh and blood. But as a scholar of the social sciences, I can't help but deny that this is not a way for human progress. β
"I love Britain because you have developed a modern democracy and sent an emperor to the dustbin of history. Even if your democracy is not as thorough as that of the New World, you still retain a useless royal family. However, as a modern person, I cannot but say that this is the correct direction of historical development. β
"I like Britain because of your capitalism...... After all, I'm a capitalist economist. β
"But what I like most about Britain is that you little shopkeepers keep interrupting the process of European unity!"
"Little shopkeeper" was Napoleon's name for the British.
He said that Britain was a country of small shopkeepers, and his contemporary, Adam Smith, also commented in The Wealth of Nations that the British imperial government was heavily influenced by small shopkeepers. Even the future "Iron Lady" Margaret Thatcher said so about her country.
But it was precisely these "small shopkeepers" who shattered their dreams of dominating the continent with the emperor.
In fact, the "small shopkeeper" has always been the nemesis of the emperors of the "ideal country" with great talents. For example, Wilhelm II, such as "His Highness of Moderation", and later the European Union.
"The rebuilding of the Roman Empire is certainly an unprecedented feat for Europeans except you British, but a unified European empire is not a good thing for us non-Europeans."
Think about it, if Napoleon really united Europe, wouldn't he have tried to open the door to Seris?
Will Qianlong, the "perfect old man" and "the first emperor of the ages", be stronger than his grandson Daoguang when he encounters the first opium war led by the emperor?
Think about it again, if this timeline becomes "The Man in the High Castle", the ending of Seris is not worse than the original.
At that time, Seris was not going to become a tuba India, but a tuba Taiwan.
"So, Lord Churchill, I like Britain."
When His Excellency Churchill heard this, he understood that he was facing a ...... A madman who doesn't know what to describe.
He immediately sneered at each other: "Dr. Yuan, do you mean that our empire will collapse?" Are we Europeans even replaced by you Chinese? β
"Hahaha......"
Our Master Yuan couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly, because he remembered the joke of "Lafayette".
"Woo woo woo ......"
But the sound of his laughter became more and more unpleasant, and at last it was like crying. Because he then remembered how much blood, suffering, and sins it would take to build a railroad for foreigners.
It will take a full hundred years, a hundred years of suffering!
He wiped the tears that "laughed" from the corners of his eyes and said, "Maybe, we Chinese may one day build a railway for you." But you should worry about the Americans first. β
What Yuan Yanqian said is the truth, it is not the "Your Highness of Moderation" who buried the empire where the sun never sets. Hitler also wanted Britain to keep its Asian colonies.
It was the Yankees and, of course, the Maozi who really made the sun set.
"Thank you for your affection and your concern, Dr. Yuan." Churchill gritted his teeth and said, "But you better worry about your future first." β
Master Yuan pretended to be relaxed and said, "Your Excellency Churchill, I don't understand this. What future do I need to worry about? β
"Hehe......" Churchill sneered, "Dr. Yuan, do you think you still have a future?" Yes, you can still write in prison in the future. β
"Prison?" Yuan Yanqian pretended to be surprised and said, "Why did I go to prison? Do you say ......"
"Hahaha......" he said with a long smile again, "Lord Churchill, are you going to accuse me of being the mastermind of this incident and send me to prison?" β
"Dr. Yuan, do you think you're really doing it seamlessly? Do you know how much evidence points to you? Like the diplomatic parcels addressed to you, the repair shop in Limehouse, and the fishing boat docked in Greenwich that hangs in your company's name......"
The British Empire in 1921 was a modern country, and its control over the homeland was just right. Sir Holmwood and his London Metropolitan Police were not dry either.
As long as you look for the few Chinese in the UK, what else can't be found?
Our Master Yuan frowned and said, "Wait a minute, Your Excellency Churchill, do you really think that this evidence can send me to prison?" β
Churchill snuffed out his cigarette butt in a tree and said, "Wait, Dr. Yuan, wait." β
Yuan Yanqian also snuffed out his cigar in the same place, and said with a slight smile: "I'll wait, Your Excellency Churchill, I'll wait." β
