Benito did not get angry as Angelina expected, but sneered: "Mr. Wang Feng, in addition to slander and scolding, what new tricks can you have?" As far as I know, the Chinese like to buckle the hat of others the most, it's okay, you continue to say that the excellence of our French people does not need you Chinese to recognize. ”

Wang Feng said unhurriedly: "Since this is the case, then I will tell you the same, first of all, about the pathos of the French, since Joan of Arc, France has never had a national hero, and a national hero is a symbol of a country's national spiritual strength, this is the world's recognized common sense, please don't take Napoleon out to talk about things."

Napoleon was a native of Corsica, an independent democratic republic that was annexed by France only a year before Napoleon was born.

Here's the problem, India is a British colony, wouldn't it be funny if the British enshrined an Indian as a national hero? Or will you tell that Corsicans are white and Indians are black and yellow, and they can't be compared, well, before the independence of the United States, would the British have enshrined the whites of the North American continent as national heroes?

But the French did this, and deliberately ignored Napoleon's origin and ethnicity, which can only show that there are no national heroes in France, but the French also know that a race without national heroes is both pathetic and cowardly, and they want to have one, but Joan of Arc is too far away, Charlemagne is even more distant, what should I do? So to glorify a strong Corsican as a national hero, should I say that the French are innovative or that, I don't want to say something too ugly. ”

"Flutter!" Angelina couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Because she is not French, but Italian.

Benito could no longer maintain his demeanor. He said angrily: "You take out your ignorance and show it, and the racial distinction between us white Europeans is not obvious. Equal coexistence with each other, for example, the English royal family also has German Hanoverian blood, what do you say? Is it still necessary to laugh at the pathos of the British? Of course, the ignorant and backward Easterners will not understand. ”

Wang Feng said lightly: "What's going on with the people of Jipu Village?" They are also white, and a significant number of them live in the south of France, so why are they discriminated against? You will surely accuse me that the Gypsies are thieves, liars, out of step with mainstream society, outsiders who entered Europe from the Caucasus.

But I want to say. The ancestors of the French are from the Germanic people, and the Germans migrated from Northern Europe, and they are not the aborigines of France, so in the final analysis, it is the Gypsies in France who lack a Napoleonic figure, otherwise, it is very likely that the French will be regarded as national heroes, anyway, living in France, this is the only criterion for the French to identify as national heroes! ”

Benito was immediately speechless. Although he felt that Wang Feng was suspected of being forceful, he couldn't organize a verbal refutation for a while, and at this time, Angelina asked, "Wang Feng." How can you say that there are no national heroes in France, you didn't just praise Clara. Lessing? ”

Wang Feng waved his hand and said: "That's different, the so-called national hero." They are people who have made outstanding contributions in the struggle against the aggression and oppression of foreign nations, including those who are not afraid of violence and sacrifice in the resistance. And the Three Days of Glory was only a civil war in France, and the Pampor dynasty was not an aggressor. Hence Clara. Lessing cannot be defined as a national hero. ”

"Oh!" Angelina nodded.

Wang Feng turned his attention to Benito again and continued: "Next, let's talk about the exaggeration of the French, as we all know, the modern industrial revolution was born in Europe, as a Chinese, although I regret it, but never deny it, but please Mr. Benito tell me, what contributions did France make in the industrial revolution?"

Galileo was an Italian, Newton was an Englishman, Watt, who invented the steam engine, also came from England, the spinning machine was also born in England, the steamship was invented by the American Franklin, Stephenson invented the steam locomotive, and the world's first railroad was unveiled in Britain.

As far as I know, France's land area is more than one and a half times that of Britain, France's arable land area is nearly three times that of Britain, and Britain's population accounted for only 60% of France's during the Industrial Revolution in 1800. Mr. Benito, can you sue me? ”

Benito's forehead oozed fine beads of sweat, and he wanted to refute Wang Feng with facts, but sadly found that the landmark invention in the industrial revolution did not have the share of the French, so he had to force a cold snort: "What about the Chinese?" Who is in any position to accuse us French? You are only on the same grade as the Indians! ”

Wang Feng was not annoyed, shook his head and said: "Mr. Benito, I reiterate once again that our China has been enslaved by the Tunguska people for two hundred years, and it is normal for the progress to stagnate, how can the slave owners allow the slaves to have enlightened thoughts and positive spirits?"

However, the Chinese have awakened, are trying to change the status quo, are catching up with the two-hundred-year gap with the West, and you France have not been enslaved by foreigners for these two hundred years, please do not care about him and answer my question. ”

At this time, Benito, not only was his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, but even his cheeks were dripping with sweat, why was the Industrial Revolution led by Britain, not France? As a proud Frenchman, he couldn't accept it, but he couldn't deny it!

Angelina frowned and thought about it, and tried to answer: "Wang Feng, it may be related to the system, France is dominated by the rule of man in politics, and the aristocracy is powerful, although the French people have repeatedly revolted and revolutionized, but in the end they were usurped by the aristocratic class, such as the recent Louis Bonaparte, who became the French emperor through a coup d'état, and Britain was the first to produce constitutional democracy, the power of the aristocracy was shackled, and the common people have a wider range of freedom and power, which should be the fundamental reason." ”

Benito's eyes lit up, and although he was not satisfied with the answer, he could barely explain it, and it was not too embarrassing.

It's not that I don't want to innovate, it's that the political system hinders innovation.

Unexpectedly, Wang Feng waved his hand: "France is certainly governed by man in politics, but it is quite free economically, and the profits obtained in transatlantic trade are not worse than those of Britain, and scientific and technological innovation is not necessarily related to political oppression, take our China as an example, in the long history of 5,000 years, it has always been a society governed by man, but we also have many innovations in ancient times, such as the compass, papermaking, gunpowder and printing, how to explain this?" ”

"This" Angelina also kept her mouth shut.

Wang Feng stretched out a finger: "France can't dominate the industrial revolution, in the final analysis, it's a matter of race!" ”

"Nonsense!" Benito suddenly burst into thunder, this is naked slander, the anger in his heart can't even cover the gentlemanly demeanor, since ancient times, no one has ever dared to accuse the French race is not good, but today, in the mouth of a Chinese, the French also have a racial problem!

"Mr. Benito, don't be in a hurry, listen to me!" Wang Feng Zhengse said: "Britain is rich in scientists, while France produces writers and artists, what does this mean? On the bright side, it is the French who have romantic feelings and are full of yearning for beauty, but in reality, it is the French who are unrealistic, greedy for comfort, and utopianism prevails!

Correspondingly, the financial capital of France is stronger than the industrial capital, which has given rise to a group of rentier class, which does not produce, lives on interest, is extremely free, and has a demonstration effect, attracting more people to join the rentier class, Monsieur Benito, do you say that this kind of person is not a person who likes to work hard or what? Is it not a matter of race or something for a people to rely on lending to generate wealth instead of producing it?

Wen Ham looked down on me, looked down on the Chinese, I confessed, because the Industrial Revolution did originate in Britain, Britain has made a heavy contribution to the development of mankind, he has proud capital, and I will not argue with him until China completes industrialization.

But I don't understand, where did the French come from such a big shelf, do you really think that I praised the French in a few words before and treated myself as a green onion? Do you understand politeness? It's only for Angelina's sake that I'll be polite to you, Mr. Benito, the reason why your France is developed is entirely because it is too close to Britain and will inevitably be affected by the fruits of the Industrial Revolution, but in essence, it is still picking up the teeth of England.

And we in China, although industrialization has just begun, has already embarked on the road of independent innovation, our children, forgetting to sleep and forgetting to learn scientific knowledge, our workers, doing it over and over again, and you French, is it foie gras, caviar, wine, or novels, paintings and poetry?

By the way, you French people also have one more powerful point, and that is revolution, from time to time you make aimless revolutions to destroy what you have already achieved!

What happened to the Great Revolution of 1789, of which you are so proud? Isn't it ironic that you executed a reform-minded and enlightened king, but during the three-year period of the White Terror, more than 70,000 people were guillotined under the label of counter-revolutionary, many of whom were not royalists, but dissidents who opposed Louis XVI and ended up guillotining?

But the irony is still to come, in 1794, there was the Thermidorian Revolution, the Thermidorian Party came to power, during which the elections were declared null and void twice, and the dictatorship was established, and five years later, Napoleon staged the Coup d'état, and France returned to the imperial era.

Sixteen years later, after Napoleon's defeat and surrender, there was the first restoration of the Pampo Dynasty, the restoration of the First French Empire, the second restoration of the Pampo Dynasty, the July Dynasty, the Second French Republic, and the Second French Empire.
