Chapter Twenty-Five: The Mantis

"We have to deeply criticize these appalling things that are happening in the Far East from the civilized world. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info uphold God's will, and we have the greatest compassion and care for those who are persecuted.......

-- The Times, by Winston Churchill

"What the hell is Winston Churchill?" Lin Mengchu took the latest original edition of The Times, frowned, and said, "Has this dead fat man started fanning the flames everywhere in the world now?" Isn't he a kid with a runny nose now? ”

"This Churchill was born in 1874 and is already 28 years old this year," Chen Cheng said. ”

"Hmph, that means he's twenty-eight and still fooling around? How did he start writing articles criticizing us? Could it be that he is now the British Minister to China? ”

"No, the British minister to China is still Zhu Erdian. This Winston Churchill, who is still a parliamentarian in Britain, is politically opposed to military expansion, advocates free trade, and claims to be an independent Conservative. ”

"That is, this Churchill is still useful to us? It seems that some of his political leanings are the same as what we want to achieve. ”

"Yes, so to speak, but he was acting in the interests of England. Churchill...... It can be said that he is a typical British villain, an imperialist. ”

"I think he was expelled from the Conservative Party, right?" Lin Mengchu dropped the English version of The Times and said with interest: "This person seems to be very different from ordinary Britons." ”

"It's true that he's a member of parliament from the Conservative Party, and then he always follows the political ideas of the Conservative Party, and those guys can put up with him for years before expelling him, which is already very self-contained."

"It's not necessarily that others have self-cultivation, Churchill is a British nobleman, right? Such a person, even if he dies himself, can do it for a long time. Since he's useful to us now, whatever his motives, should we send someone to make friends? ”

"This," Chen Cheng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I still don't need it." He's based in England now, and he doesn't have much to do with us, just posting hearsay in the newspapers to get people's attention and more votes. If you really want to do something on the British side, it is better to make friends with Morrison. ”

"Hey, Morrison hasn't been back to England yet? I thought that Yuan Shikai would go home when he stepped down. ”

"Not really. Morrison is a well-known Chinese expert in Britain, at least that's what the British think. After Yuan Shikai went to the Ye Chu State to investigate, he has been active in Tianjin and Beijing, and has traveled back and forth between Handan and Beijing many times, which can be regarded as a man of the year in today's China. ”

"Hmph, these opium dealers, it's annoying to see them. I don't think he's going to write anything nice about us in the newspapers, or I'd just deny him entry. ”

"No, although Morrison is a typical Englishman and an imperialist, many of his reports are very objective. Of course, there is a lot of writing about the fact that we kill too many people and that we are robbing the wealth of the people by adopting the policy of nationalizing the land. ”

"Is there a problem between capitalism and socialism?" The girl nodded, "This guy is still a little accurate in seeing the problem, no wonder he can mix it up." ”

"It is not surprising that Marx was originally a European, and the disadvantages of capitalism are not unnoticed. For example, a large number of socialists in Europe, as well as the Paris Commune before it, shows that socialism/socialism/socialism/righteousness and even communism/production/socialism/righteousness are not a big deal in Europe today. ”

"Communism, however, is a taboo subject in Europe." Chen Cheng sneered: "Back then, France and Prussia fought to the death on the battlefield, and as soon as the Paris Commune came out, the French government was busy inviting the Prussians in to exterminate the Paris Commune. Such a thing with no lower limit is the most enjoyable for the French. ”

"Oh. I know that. Lin Mengchu shrugged, "So later in World War I, the French soldiers were reluctant to go to the battlefield to work for those nobles and dignitaries, and the French government's response was to let the soldiers take drugs, and then set up a large number of supervision teams, and even consciously sent some unstable ones to the positions of the countrymen." ”

"The French are indeed too unlimited, so he has long since fallen from the position of a first-rate country. Now the French, aren't they even about to lose French Indochina? Chen Cheng said: "Our counterparts in the south, Yang Hongsen did so well that the French are now reluctant to fight those Vietnamese in the jungles of Southeast Asia." ”

"I don't care about foreigners," Lin Mengchu said: "As long as you are strong, now you will upgrade the technology, and then a wave of soldiers will be sent over." ”

"First upgrade the capital, build a factory, add IC, and then start mobilization, pull the assembly line of rioters," Chen Cheng nodded, and said seriously: "Orthodox royal way of playing." ”

"........." the girl said suspiciously: "Have you played too much war3 recently?" Even the statement of promotion has come out. ”

"Eh, where did this world come from to play with war3?" Chen Cheng said depressedly: "In the original world, there were several players who played war3, and they were also all kinds of instability. was actually picked out by a South Korean in the China-South Korea confrontation match, which is simply brushing people's heads. ”

"I know the one you said, it's the Beastmaster of South Korea.........."

"Stop!" Chen Cheng stopped the topic in time and slid in a strange direction, "The way we operate now is more similar to "Iron Ambition", even if it adds elements of magic and martial arts, it still can't be compared to "Warcraft"!" ”

"That's true, especially with the endless rebellions that have emerged in various places." The girl said hatefully: "I think those guys just don't understand, why don't they stay at home honestly?" ”

"That...... It really has the style of the ruling class," Chen Cheng exclaimed: "It is really difficult for us to refuse to live in the order we have created and to die honestly." ”

"You're taunting?"

"No, this is not a mockery, but the voice of the ruling class since ancient times. Don't be an An An starvation, still be a praying mantis! (To be continued.) )
