Lin Yuan nodded heavily, and Dunant said: "We are here to hold some rallies this time to put pressure on the Belgian emperor, but we don't know if the road will work, as far as I know, Leopold II is a stubborn person, not just a few of us can say a few words." ”

When Dunan said this, he looked at Lin Yuan expectantly and said, "Is there anything you can do?" Can these Africans be saved? ”

Lin Yuan wanted to take care of it, but after thinking about it: "The European powers are enough to deal with it by themselves, if they fight openly and secretly in Africa, the spread is too big, and it is inevitable that there is more than enough to be done, and there is a Qing government in the country, these things are enough to keep you busy." ”

So Lin Yuan said helplessly: "I can only sympathize with the plight of the African natives, and I don't have any good way, but ......"

As if seeing another glimmer of hope, Dunant asked, "But what?" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Do you have a channel to connect with Africa?" ”

"There is trade between European countries and Africa, and I can enter Africa with merchant ships," Dunant said. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Well, if you can meet the leaders of various African ethnic liberation forces, you can tell them that we Chinese people are willing to do everything possible to help them when conditions permit." ”

Dunant said, "It's enough to have this guarantee of yours, do you know the truth?" There are many people in Europe who believe that Africans are inferior and inherently deserving of Europeans! ”

The two were talking, only to see a rich old man walking towards Lin Yuan, Dunant hurriedly got up and introduced: "This old man is the leader of the Suwell family, and his founder of your watch factory in the northeast. ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly shook hands with the old man, who smiled and asked, "Is my son okay in China?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "I have met your son, he is very good, and he has found a lot of fossils of ancient creatures in China. ”

The old man said: "My son was not happy when he first told me that he settled in China, but now that he is happy, I am relieved, and I hope that China and Switzerland can communicate more." ”

Lin Yuan talked to the two for a while, the banquet was over, Lin Yuan led everyone to re-board the train to Paris, France, at the border, the train stopped, and the German diplomat said to Lin Yuan nervously: "Please tell your subordinates to be careful when entering the border." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What's wrong?" Did something happen? ”

The German diplomat said: "There are often militants on the border, and we are a German train, so we want everyone to be cautious." ”

Lin Yuan then gathered everyone together and said, "When everyone is marching for a while, you must follow the team closely and don't be left alone." ”

After a while, a group of French soldiers arrived, including French diplomats, who went through the handover procedures with the Germans with expressionless faces, and when the Germans turned to leave, the French diplomat enthusiastically opened his arms to Lin Yuan, hugged him, and then said: "Our president has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow us to Paris as soon as possible." ”

Lin Yuan led everyone into Paris, stayed at the post house, and the diplomat said: "Please rest here with your subordinates first, we will hold a welcome dinner for you in the evening, and tomorrow we will have a formal state meeting." ”

As soon as the diplomat left, Lin Yuan said to Shen Wanqing: "It's still early today, why don't we disguise ourselves first and go to the place where the Curie couple work?" ”

Shen Wanqing smiled: "I have been ready for a long time." As he spoke, he took out two masks and put them on, and found the clothes of the French, and looked in the mirror, which was indeed the same as the French.

When the two came outside, Lin Yuan said: "According to the historical situation, the current Curie couple works at the École Supérieure de Physicochem de Paris, so we will go there to find them. ”

The two walked through the wooded and flowery post house compound, and at the door, a waiter politely stopped them and said with a smile: "Sir, are you and Madame going out?" I can call you a carriage. ”

Shen Wanqing said to Lin Yuan: "No need, let's go outside for a walk, just to see the situation in Paris." ”

When the waiter heard Shen Wanqing's words, he smiled helplessly and said, "This lady, you must be coming to Paris for the first time, right?" I advise you not to go out of this way. ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "It's okay, we'll be careful." So he took Shen Wanqing's arm and walked outside, Shen Wanqing asked curiously: "Why didn't he let us out?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "That's because at this time in Paris, the gap between the rich and the poor is quite serious, we live in a rich area, in the rich area, electric lights, sewers, and gas are all available, but this is not the case in other places, especially in the slums, the whole place is filthy, dirty and messy, there is a way to be poor mountains and bad waters, there are many people in this environment, there must be many people who are not good." ”

Shen Wanqing suddenly realized, and then walked forward, gradually the streets on both sides were not so tidy, and there was a bad smell wafting in the air, Lin Yuan whispered: "It seems that we have entered the slum." ”

At this moment, I saw a group of people walking in front of me, and the leader held a loudspeaker and shouted: "We will let the wives go on strike, and not give birth to slaves to the capitalists!" While the man was shouting, the man behind him was holding a large box, and from time to time someone came up to the man, and the man took something out of the box and handed it out to the crowd who came.

Shen Wanqing looked at the banner behind the team, and saw that it read: Belly strike! I couldn't help but turn around and ask Lin Yuan, "What does this mean?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "We are very fortunate to be able to witness an interesting scene in the history of France, in this era, the birth rate of the French population is very low, and there are several reasons for this phenomenon, one of which is this 'belly strike', which is mainly prevalent among the proletariat in France, which means: no children, so that the capitalists have no one to exploit." ”

While the two were talking, they got closer and closer to the person holding the big box, and Shen Wanqing saw clearly that what was in the big box was the condoms that Lin Yuan sold to the British, and the British really had the economic acumen to sell them to France so quickly, Shen Wanqing's face turned red and pretended not to see it.

Lin Yuan pointed to the condom in the box and said casually: "You see, our invention still has a great impact on the birth rate of the French population, do you know the truth?" Contraception in this era ......"

Shen Wanqing hurriedly said, "Where is that Paris college you are talking about?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Three streets further ahead. ”

The two were talking, only to see a pair of men and women walking in front of them, the two held hands, the woman was a little shy, her head was lowered, her face was red, they walked over shoulder to shoulder with Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing, Shen Wanqing patted Lin Yuan lightly, and said: "Did you see the couple who just walked over, it is really a golden boy and a girl." ”

Lin Yuan suddenly said: "They are the Curie couple we are looking for." ”
