Chapter 325: Major Events Nine
Chapter subtitle: Dublin Syndrome
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
I only heard our Master Yuan say: "Two highnesses, I'm afraid you have also thought that these gentlemen are members of the Anerlan Republican Army. β
"Their purpose is obvious, that is, to use your hostages to obtain more favorable terms in the Anglo-Irish negotiations. This is also human nature, and there is no need to be too harsh. β
"Since they're going to negotiate politically, it's not a personal vendetta or a lynching. Therefore, the safety of the two highnesses can still be temporarily guaranteed......"
"I remember there was a British proverb, A ise man does not fight hen the odds are against him."
In fact, it is a hero who does not suffer immediate losses.
"So, I personally hope that the two Highnesses can cooperate......"
"Dr. Yuan, please wait a minute. I have something to say. The Prince of Wales couldn't help but interrupt.
Yuan Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your Highness, please speak." β
The British crown prince got up from the ground, looked around at the gentlemen in the carriage, and said in a sincere tone: "Gentlemen, as an individual, I understand what you are doing. But as the Crown Prince of the British Empire, I have to say that you have made a big mistake......"
Master Yuan sighed in his heart when he heard him say this, knowing that what he had just said was in vain.
Oops, it seems that after all this time, his little bourgeoisie is still not completely cured.
Who are these two?
Because Britain and Japan are now constitutional monarchies, it is indeed an exaggeration to say that these two crown princes are above 10,000 people under one person. But people have known that they are the heirs to the throne since they were sensible.
Not to mention being treated rudely and impolitely offended, even the slightest kind of opposition is rarely experienced.
How can such a person be obedient and soft?
Since the soft ones don't work, let's go for the hard ones.
ββ¦β¦ Gentlemen, let us go now, I can guarantee ......"
Yuan Yanqian secretly gave Mr. Cannon a look, and the latter nodded knowingly.
ββ¦β¦ No one will hold you accountable......"
"Hehe......" Townsend sneered, stood up and waved his hand, "Brothers, do it!" β
Our Master Yuan also hurriedly "stopped" and said, "What are you doing here......
However, he is very "a good man who does not suffer immediate losses", and when he saw that people's guns were pointed at him, he immediately shut up.
"Let go of me, let go of me, let go of my ......"
I saw the IPA members rushing up and knocking the Prince of Wales down on a box.
One of them took out a dirty rag and put it over his face, while the other took a tin bucket full of water and poured water on the face of the British Crown Prince......
"Boom la la ......"
This kind of waterboarding, which is said to have been researched by the CIA at tens of millions of dollars, can bring the greatest psychological fear to people, and at the same time, it will not cause obvious physical harm to the victims.
And in the 40s, what leather whips, what soldering irons, what tiger chairs, and what chili pepper water were still used in the Sino-US Cooperation Institute. Waterboarding, by contrast, is much more civilized and advanced.
It can be seen that mankind in the twentieth century has been making progress and has never stopped.
And now our Master Yuan has taught the IRA without reservation. I guess this is also a spirit of internationalism.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo......"
Just like in the movie, the desperate British crown prince let out a muffled roar that makes people panic when they hear it.
A bucket of water was poured, and the rag was removed.
"cough, cough, cough, cough......"
The Prince of Wales was not giving up, and coughed hard as he said with difficulty: "First, gentlemen, it is still too late to ......."
Mr. Cannon shook his head and said to the bystanders, "Give him another bucket!" β
"Don't ...... Woo, woo, woo, woo......"
But these people are all radicals in the IPA, who hate the British to the core, and they are not merciless in giving the Prince of Wales another "bucket".
"Boom la la ......"
At this time, Yuan Yanqian suddenly coughed lightly, and then glanced at Townsend again.
The latter immediately pointed to Prince Di Gong and said, "Don't miss this, give him a bucket too." β
"Don't, don't, Ya Yan Butterfly ......"
"Boom la la ......"
Poor His Royal Highness Hirohito, that is to call the heavens and the earth not to be spiritual, and it is useless to call Ya Yan Butterfly, and he was also "brought a bucket" by the IPA people.
βENOUGHοΌβ
After the British crown prince came with two barrels and the Japanese crown prince came with one barrel, our Master Yuan stood up regardless of life and death.
He rushed up and pushed away the members of the IPA, stretched out his arms to protect the two highnesses, and shouted, "You said you wouldn't hurt them!" β
Mr. Cannon said with a hippie smile: "Dr. Yuan, but we didn't hurt them, we just invited them to drink a little water." β
"Hahaha......" The members of the IPA also laughed,
"Humph!"
Yuan Yan snorted coldly, and didn't care about them, but helped up a crown prince with one hand, and asked with concern: "Two highnesses, are you all right?" β
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Both crown princes were coughing violently, unable to speak.
I only heard Townsend say coldly: "Dr. Yuan, please get out of the way." We're going to ask them for a little more water. β
Hearing him say this, the Prince of Wales and the Prince of Di Palace both had a look of fear on their faces, and their bodies began to tremble slightly.
Master Yuan, who was holding them, secretly said in his heart, psychology is really useful!
That's right, he didn't mean to torture the Prince of Wales on purpose, as for Hirohito, this can be regarded as charging some interest first.
Yuan Yanqian did this mainly to replicate the classic "Stockholm syndrome" in psychology. , also known as hostage complex or hostage syndrome.
This thing is so famous, there are a few famous cases, so I don't need to go into details.
In short, people can be tamed.
But I want the two crown princes to suffer from "Stockholm syndrome...... In this timeline, it is probably called "Dublin Syndrome", and then a situation must be created.
This scenario is for them to feel that their lives are at stake, and they need to believe that the abuser will not hesitate to harm them at any time.
Then, Master Yuan will jump out and be a good person. In this way, their fear will translate into gratitude, dependence, and even adoration for him.
Of course, he could use hypnotism directly, but that wouldn't be enough for him to listen to. And how can the effect of hypnosis be as strong and long-lasting as "Dublin syndrome"?
He also wanted to lay a deep foundation for his friendship with the future Emperor Hirohito.
Yuan Yanqian said angrily: "No, you can't torture the two Highnesses anymore!" β
"Get out of here!"
It's a pity that Master Yuan's two fists are invincible to four hands, and the two highnesses were once again subjected to the poison of waterboarding......
The night will be long, long, and long for the two crown princes.
But for Lord Hallwood on Piccadilly Street, it was short, short, short.
