"How's the situation with the Chinese intellectuals lately?" Sir Humphrey was not discouraged even though he was rejected by the two powerful regions of north-west China and Jiangsu. The world is very big, and no amount of intrigue and intrigue will fill the world.

"There are already a lot of people who are willing to come to the UK as visiting scholars." Sir Humphrey's deputy, Bernard, replied immediately. After a moment's hesitation, Bernard continued, "But will these people be able to work when they return to China from England?" Many of them are also marginalized in China. ”

Sir Humphrey was well aware of this, but there were some things that even the British Empire could not do. To be sure, no matter what the racists say, China is recognized as a member of the world's civilized nations, but it may not be as "civilized" as other countries. Chen's major performance in science has almost single-handedly reversed the attitude of European countries towards China. During the First World War, a large number of Chinese doctors and nurses made the British people realize that China was not an ignorant and backward country through their treatment work in Britain and France. At that time, the British government was also in a hurry, and the world was only able to provide so many medical personnel from China. After the Chinese doctors and nurses left the UK and the overall medical standard of the UK fell sharply, the British government found that the Chinese doctors and nurses had reversed the British people's view of China by their own work.

If the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Coalition did make the Great Powers despise China, but after the People's Party seized power in China, this trend was reversed in the other direction.

The German emperor once propagated the "Yellow Peril Theory" with ulterior motives, and now the German emperor is in exile, but he can be regarded as a prophecy. After the People's Party seized power in China, it showed considerable combat effectiveness. The Japanese Army, which was able to defeat Russia, became a weak brigade with no power to resist in the face of China. With the "Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty", Europe and the United States no longer considered crossing thousands of miles of sea routes to attack distant China. It costs a lot of money to send hundreds of thousands of troops to China, and after these troops are freed from the protection of naval artillery, they will have to face China's aircraft, tanks, and artillery, and a fool will spend a huge amount of money to increase the glory of China's victory over foreign countries.

Militarily we cannot invade China, so we can only cultivate pro-British forces in China. At this time, Britain realized the results of the commanding of those years. When the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, they thought they could punish China, so they took a lot of photos. The People's Party does not even have to deliberately fabricate anything, and it is enough to take pictures taken when those countries were complacent, which is enough to incite the Chinese to great hostility towards Britain.

As for lesson plans, all kinds of unequal treaties, the BJP has too many things to exploit. In those concessions, after every patriotic education conducted by the Chinese government, foreigners did not dare to go out for a long time. Stones are considered light, and even if they are beaten, the police pretend not to see them. Or slowly come up and pull the bias frame.

There were also some Chinese literati who did not know how to die, and some of them wrote that Britain's violent opening of China's doors promoted China's modernization in the long run. Then the "scholar" immediately lost his job, and that's not all, the word "traitor" was written all over the wall of his house, and he was harassed all day long. If it weren't for the protection of the People's Party, this guy would have been killed. In the end, after the "scholar's" wife divorced him, she returned to her parents' house with her children. The scholar hanged himself.

Faced with such an unfavorable situation, the British could only adopt a more roundabout method, first of all, whether good or bad, to gather a group of people who were willing to be pro-British, and then arrange them to be visiting scholars, and then talk about the future later. Britain has seen the clearest proof from here in the United States. There is a saying in mainstream American society, "My father taught me two things since I was a child, the first thing is to believe in God, and the second thing is to hate the British." ”

After arranging the visiting scholars, Humphrey asked, "Do Qi Huishen and the You Wei family still have the same attitude towards us?" ”

The top level of the People's Party not only has deep ties with Beiyang, but also with the British. Qi Huishen and You Wei's family are from big compradors, which is the gap that the British want to break through the most.

Bernard replied: "Qi Huishen's father has transferred all the businesses he is in charge of to his family, and he has sold all his property himself, and the money is deposited in the bank for interest. Youjia now specializes in Southeast Asia and no longer does business in China. ”

After saying this, Bernard said in a tone that was difficult to describe: "These Chinese are too cunning. ”

Needless to say, the sinister and vicious nature of the People's Party naturally has an indescribable feeling that the leader of this party, Chen Ke. The result of the analysis of the British intelligence service is that Chen Ke received a good aristocratic education from an early age, especially a comprehensive political, economic and diplomatic education. But they couldn't find out which schools Chen Ke had studied in Europe, nor which European professors Chen Ke's family had invited to give lectures to Chen Ke. The only thing that can be determined is that Chen Ke must have studied Western culture.

British intelligence was somewhat convinced by rumors that Chen Ke might be a child of the Manchu royal family, and only the royal family could fund such education for their own children. For Chen Ke to be born in a royal family, why was he so ruthless to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. This was not a problem for the British, who were always fierce and brutal in the struggle for power. Although it seems strange that Chen Ke is not called emperor, it is not unreasonable. Chen Ke's status in China was even more revered than that of the emperor. The British are not uninformed buns, and they exchanged the fall of the Manchus for a powerful China, although it is difficult for those excellent people to do it themselves, but it is not unimaginable. Not to mention that after Chen Ke fell victim to the poison of Marxism, he would definitely be very different.

"Britain wants to break up the Sino-Soviet alliance, and since China hates foreigners so much, we might as well start from this aspect." Sir Humphrey commanded.

The world's major countries will feel uncomfortable when they look at the territory of China and the Soviet Union, which together have a land area of more than 30 million square kilometers and a total population of more than 700 million. The territory of these two countries extends from the west coast of the Pacific Ocean to the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Although the Nordic countries blocked the Soviet Union's path to the "North Atlantic", the core economic circle of the world. However, the Nordic countries were once defeated by Russia. The Russians did not perform well in World War I, and the Red Army was defeated under Warsaw, but the Soviet Red Army drove out the Entente intervention forces and wiped out the White Army at home. Countries could pay lip service to Russia, but no country wanted to invade the USSR. Especially now, after World War I, the world's major industrial countries are very anti-war, and Europe and the United States understand that it is impossible for them to organize an attack on the Soviet Union.

In this matter, the British saw that Chen Ke was still ahead of other forces. The People's Party and the Russian Bolsheviks took a very long-term view to settle the border issue first, and the Soviet Union made huge concessions that soon paid off enormously. China is the only country in the world that can provide more than 100,000 medical and technical personnel without compensation, as well as millions of tons of material aid.

The Chinese government vigorously advertised that it had resolved the long-standing border issue with Russia, claiming that under the correct attitude of the new Soviet government, everything that had happened in China and Russia in the past had been resolved. China and the Soviet Union must lay down their burdens and run towards tomorrow together. Zhang Yu, who is in charge of propaganda work, has excellent ability to carry out this propaganda campaign almost perfectly. Sir Humphrey could see that China was very careful to distinguish Russia from the European and American powers, and that the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence were even one of the compulsory contents of junior high school political classes. So far, China has only publicly stated the "Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence" when it established diplomatic relations with two countries. One is the United States, the other is the Soviet Union.

By now, Sir Humphrey could smell the malice that lurked in it. China and the United States are separated by a Pacific Ocean, and it is basically impossible to interfere with each other on a large scale. China and the Soviet Union have a long border line, and if they interfere with each other, they will only end up together. So China has made its attitude clear.

And what about countries that have not established diplomatic relations with China on the basis of the "Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence"? China is not strong enough now and does not have the strength to do anything. When China becomes stronger, what kind of ideas will it use against these countries? Do you adopt the way in which the world's mainstream powers intervene in weak countries?

Bernard was well aware of Sir Humphrey's thoughts, and he said tentatively: "I have heard that there are some more extreme views on the Japanese side. They believe that as long as Chen Ke is eliminated alone, the whole of China will be completely different. ”

After hearing this, Sir Humphrey almost wanted to sneer, did he engage in assassination? Not to mention the reputation of the Japanese on the stinky streets of China, it is still a big question whether they can sneak into China to carry out assassinations. Even if the assassination was successful, would the Japanese think that Britain would not be able to endorse Japan?

Now there is a trend of thought in Britain that it is a wrong choice for Britain to shield the murderer and trigger a war in Europe. Morally, a murderer is a murderer, and Britain has set a bad example. Even if Germany loses, it cannot be considered the right thing to do. If this is popularized, if the people of the colonies kill the King of England and the Emperor of India, according to the British practice, the people of the colonies can call themselves Serbia.

Moreover, after the war, Britain received a large amount of data, which can prove that if it drags on for two more years, the German economy will collapse due to frantic preparations. At that time, even if war still broke out, the British would never have suffered such a large loss.

In the final analysis, it is Britain itself that declines. Sir Humphrey had to admit this truth in his heart. Half a century after Britain dominated the world, too many great powers have risen in the world. And Britain's own strength is already somewhat inadequate.

Thinking of this, Sir Humphrey said to Bernard: "If the Japanese have any hint at you, tell them plainly that Britain is firmly opposed to any unilateral change of the situation." ”
