Before officially entering the interview, Xiao Yiming very politely asked the two reporters for the interview outline, and Williamham, who had been prepared, took out the Chinese and English outline and politely asked Xiao Yiming's opinion.

Xiao Yiming explained several sensitive topics, and after getting Williamham's assurance, he happily accepted the interview.

The content of the interview includes Xiao Yiming's personal situation and political background, his views on the current situation, his evaluation of China's opposition political parties, his views on Sino-British relations and China's relations with other powers, Sichuan's economic situation and possible future development direction, and so on.

Xiao Yiming frankly expressed his views on China's political parties, in which he summed up the development of the League over the past 10 years and the failures of armed struggles one after another, and he held that the fighting spirit of the League was shocking, but the methods of struggle were very naïve and extreme, and that the young and outstanding lives disappeared because of misunderstandings, which was extremely painful, and mercilessly pointed out that many political opportunists in the League had not only failed to fulfill any revolutionary promises. On the contrary, it brought great disasters to countless people, especially progressive youth, and the thesis that "an advanced political party must have a pure surname" was born.

During the two-and-a-half-hour interview, Williamham and Frey spent their time in excitement and shock, and several times forgot to record Xiao Yiming's brilliant discourse, and had to stop to make amends.

Edward, the cultural officer of the consulate, has been listening with a smile, he is not as excited as Williamham and Freys, in the past year, he and the British expatriate Johnson, the German military attache Sharpler and others have often gathered with Xiao Yiming, and they have talked about these issues with each other, and they have heard Xiao Yiming's more fierce views than today.

Williamham pressed the excitement in his heart, checked more than ten pages of interview records, and then handed them to Xiao Yiming for confirmation, and immediately stood up to thank Xiao Yiming after getting Xiao Yiming's consent, and proposed to take a photo of Xiao Yiming in the courtyard, and took a group photo by the way.

Xiao Yiming happily agreed, came to the stone table under the big camphor tree in the front yard, and followed the command of the photographer Freys to pose a few times.

Freys, who has won the British Photography Grand Prix twice, ran into the main hall and brought a rattan chair for Xiao Yiming to sit in front of the grape trellis, bathed in the sunshine and took five or six photos in a row, and then the guests took photos with Xiao Yiming respectively.

"Xiao, will you enter politics in the future?"

Williamham asked as he walked back to the main hall.

Xiao Yiming stopped: "It's hard to predict tomorrow's things today, no one knows what the future will be, my personal will is not to go into politics, China is experiencing an unprecedented pain, the political situation and social environment are extremely complex, maybe one after another protracted civil war is about to break out, in this situation, no one can control their own destiny." ”

Williamham's eyebrows trembled: "Xiao, do you expect the war to come soon?" ”

Xiao Yiming smiled and said: "Dear William, you have traveled almost all over China, visited all the provinces of China, and interviewed hundreds of bureaucrats and revolutionaries, don't you see it clearly?" I believe that the British political axe has long had its own judgment, and if the British political axe is still confused, it is that it does not know who to support is more in the interests of the United Kingdom, isn't it? ”

Williamham was shocked again:

"It's incredible...... Xiao, how can you be so young and have been staying in the rich inland region of Sichuan, how can you see so highly? ”

"No matter how high you are, you are not as far as you, I, a nobody, just opened my mouth to say a few words, and you came from Shanghai." Xiao Yiming laughed playfully.

Williamham shrugged:

"Dear Xiao, you are so humorous and sharp, it is my honor to know you, and in a few years, maybe I will be extremely proud of this trip to Chengdu."

Xiao Yiming put away her smile and nodded very seriously: "William, you should trust your instincts. ”

Williamham's heart shook again: "Xiao, do you want to say something to me?" ”

Xiao Yiming shook her head: "It's not time yet, I'm not qualified to say anything, I can't do anything except express my own opinions, at least for a long time, which is the main reason why I am interviewed by you!"

"As you just said, I'm too young! Because I am so young, I am likely to do nothing in the great changes that are coming, but I always want to do something for myself and the more than 40 million people who are going to do it, and I am very conflicted. ”

Williamham nodded thoughtfully:

"I think I understand your thoughts, Xiao, you are a very good person, your age should not be an obstacle to your progress, your thoughts and vision are far more far-reaching than those court officials and revolutionaries, your mind is broader, and what is more commendable is that you have proved with practical actions that you are working tirelessly, constantly verifying your political ideas and lofty ambitions, and achieving fruitful results.

"Xiao, you make me full of hope for you, if you think there is anything I can serve, please be polite, I would like to be your friend."

Xiao Yiming smiled and asked, "Aren't we friends now?" ”

Williamham happily stretched out his hand and shook Xiao Yiming's outstretched hand tightly: "Yes, we are already friends!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and returned to the main hall for a short pause, and Williamham and Frey took their leave, saying that they would rush back to sort out the manuscript.

Xiao Yiming was not reluctant, and sent the two and Edward out of the gate, and when the three of them were about to board the carriage, Xiao Yiming seemed to suddenly remember something, walked up to Edward, and said solemnly:

"Billy, there is something I think I need to tell you, according to the information that we have in Huaxi Group, several chambers of commerce in Yucheng seem to have very opinions on the British trading company's practice of brutally lowering prices, if the British company still refuses to hold consultations with the relevant chambers of commerce in Yucheng, it is very likely that it will no longer be able to buy pig bristles, tung oil, tea tree oil and other local products, and the German, Yuben and American companies have already been impatient to wait, and they may intervene at any time."

Edward thanked gratefully, "Thank you, Shaw, I think Mr. Consul will thank you." ”

"Goodbye, friends! Frequent visitors are welcome. Xiao Yiming waved her hand, her smile was extremely bright.

"Goodbye, Xiao, good luck!"

As the carriage drove through the wide intersection, Williamham asked Edward in a low voice, "What does what Shaw said just now?" ”

Edward smiled bitterly:

"The local products chamber of commerce representing Yucheng wants to abandon our British trading company, you may not know, Xiao is not only a rising star in the Sichuan military circles, but also a leader of the younger generation of the Sichuan ancient gang, the news he said has never been wrong, and he has reminded us several times before!

"I am convinced that if our British trading company in Chongqing does not give in, it will be replaced by companies from other countries, as in the Chengdu area, where the Germans relied on their good relations with the Huaxi Group and received the strong support of Xiao, and now 80 percent of the local products exported from the Chengdu area have been mastered by the cunning Germans."

Williamham and Frey were taken aback, and Xiao Yiming's bright smile couldn't help but come to mind......
