"I understand, Father, Adams has sent back the news that Saladin has agreed to cooperate with us, and is now waiting for a response from the Witch God Cult."

In the secret room on the second floor of the grocery store, the Hall of the Gods was activated, and Dino's voice came from the gray mist.

Ma Wei, who learned from Archbishop Brandon about the reason for the split of the Apocalypse Divine System, immediately contacted Dino and asked him to order Adams, who was in charge of hosting the company in the Southern Continent, to contact the Witch God Cult to test the other party's tone.

It is difficult for the divided Apocalypse Divine System to repair their relationship with each other, and for two thousand years, they have shed too much blood with each other, and it is simply impossible to put aside their past grievances and get back together.

Unless Nereida returns, then the churches can be commanded to unite as the Lord God.

Until then, the Apocalypse Divine System was destined to be a plate of loose sand.

This is probably the last and best chance for the Church of Truth.

Once Nereida returns and the Apocalypse God System unites, the Romanov Kingdom will be completely isolated, and if you want to break the situation, you can only pin your hopes on the power of the Old Gods or the Lost God Kingdom

In the past, it was very rare for the Church of Truth to directly grab territory, and the new gods often had to hide their names, evade arrest and secretly cultivate their forces, waiting for the arrival of the Demon Gate.

Only when the Old Gods and the Old Gods start a war can they take advantage of the void and get a chance to rise.

What new god system would dare to directly seize a country and declare war on the old god like the Church of Truth?

In the final analysis, it was because Nereida did not return and was exploited by the Church of Truth.

"If there is news from the Witch God Sect, contact me immediately, and the Apocalypse Divine Department that has lost the main god will not accept them."

"Hmm." Dino asked, "How's the situation going over there?" Can you win the seat of the councilor? ”

"It's been a lot lately, and I'm going to give a lecture in the afternoon, near Archbishop's Park."

"Speech is your specialty, Father." Dino smiled and said, "I think you taught us how to give a speech in Tyumen City." ”

"At that time I was inciting emotions, this time it is different, there is a difference between running for parliament and agitating emotions." "But I should be able to handle it. How is Her Majesty Katerina doing? ”

"It's still the same, I'm busy with government affairs every day, and we've handed over the research materials you sent back to the Royal Academy, and we've found a group of reliable experts to conduct research, and the economy is recovering."

"That's good."

Ma Wei nodded, he came to London, what he was most worried about was the situation of the Romanov Kingdom, when he left, the country was in ruins, and now it is on the right track, and it is gradually improving, it is really not easy.

"Luo Jin did a good job in the last mission, remember to allocate rewards to them, the church must be fair and just in terms of rewards and punishments."

"Yes."

After explaining some details, Ma Wei withdrew from the Hall of the Gods, put away the oracle silkworms, picked up Xiao Hei who was dozing off on the table, and came to Yunia's room, where she was lying on the bed with a paintbrush and scribbling on the board, drawing her own words.

"Emma, let's go, let's give a speech."

"Here we go!"

Hearing that she was going out, Yunia jumped out of bed, ran out of the room excitedly, followed Mavi, and boarded the carriage to the Lambeth district.

Blackie followed, but instead of accompanying Mavi, he climbed onto the roof and followed far behind the witcher team after Mavi boarded the carriage.

The place of the speech is in the Archbishop's Park, next door to the Lambeth Palace and Waterloo Station, is one of the places with the largest flow of people, the second prince has sent someone to set up the platform in advance, in order to attract the public, but also let people prepare small gifts, after listening to the speech can be received.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, many listeners had gathered in the park, some were housewives attracted by the gifts, some were businessmen, housekeepers of the aristocracy, and elite white-collar workers who left work early, and there were quite a few workers, almost blocking the road, and several patrol policemen were maintaining order.

"Nicholas, can it work?"

The second prince handed over an iron horn and said worriedly: "I've never seen you give a speech, so you won't have stage fright, right?" ”

"It's okay, Your Highness, we have prepared a speech for Nicholas, and he can read it." Stewart said.

Ma Wei did get the speech.

He has also read the above content, and he can't say how wonderful it is, he can only say that it is decent, there are no mistakes, and there are not too many outstanding and eye-catching places.

If you listen to it for a long time, it will also make you drowsy.

Like the chicken soup speech he heard when he was in school in his previous life, it was not nutritious.

Taking over the horn, Ma Wei bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, I'm ready, let's start." ”

"Okay."

The second prince raised his hand to the staff not far away, and the staff immediately ran off the podium to make room for Ma Wei.

After tidying up his clothes, Ma Wei handed Yunia over to the second prince to take care of him, and stepped onto the podium.

In the audience, hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at him, no one spoke, but the atmosphere seemed a little dignified.

Looking at the speech in his hand, Ma Wei suddenly had a bold idea, and in front of everyone's eyes, he folded the speech prepared by the second prince and others in advance into his pocket and walked up on the stage.

"What is he doing?" Seeing Ma Wei put away the speech, the second prince's eyes widened: "He won't want to give an impromptu speech!" So many people are watching! As a public figure, every word he says will be in the newspapers! ”

"Your Highness, I think Nicholas should have memorized the speech." Stewart was relieved: "Although the manuscript is very long, as long as you put your mind to it, it is not impossible to memorize." ”

The second prince didn't say anything, he still knew Ma Wei well in the past few months, until the other party was always surprised, and he didn't know when he would give him a 'surprise'.

Go on stage and throw away the speech, and come to an impromptu performance

Mavi can do it!

"What is a councilor?"

On the podium, Ma Wei spoke, he held a tin horn, and his voice spread: "Everyone, please think about this question, parliamentarians, what should be done for the people? ”

Without waiting for the people in the audience to think, Ma Wei immediately said: "Is it using the power in your hands to enrich your own pockets?" ”

"Is it a pretense to deceive the people to gain support?"

"Is it sitting upright in the chamber in expensive handmade clothes, waving and waving handkerchiefs?"

Ma Wei pulled out the white handkerchief on his chest, threw it casually, and said disdainfully: "If that's the case, then I don't think there's any need for me to run for election." ”

"A councillor, a qualified councillor, what he should do is to fight for the interests of the people and solve problems for the people! Responsible for the constituency! ”

"The taxes you pay every year are not used to raise wine bags and rice bags!"

The audience nodded approvingly, agreeing with Ma Wei's statement, and not far away, more passers-by were attracted to it.

"This gentleman!"

Ma Wei suddenly pointed at a middle-aged man dressed as a worker in the audience, and asked loudly, "Please tell me, what are your troubles?" ”

The middle-aged man who was suddenly named was a little overwhelmed, "My child is about to reach school age, but I don't want him to go to school, I want him to learn a skill."

"Education!" Ma Wei nodded heavily: "Vocational education!" Everyone needs a craft to support their family, don't they? ”

"Going to school and learning technology are compatible! Imagine if we set up a school to teach carpentry, tailoring, lathes, sheet metal, etc., and at the same time cooperate with major factories, after one or two years of study, you can enter a large factory for internship and work, wouldn't it be better than not going to school? ”

The middle-aged man was surprised: "Can this kind of thing be done?" How old are those big factories willing to take in their children? ”

"That's what the school does! The school should negotiate with the factory, and the factory will send professional masters to teach and cultivate talents! And parliamentarians, the establishment of such schools should be promoted! ”

While the audience was shocked, Ma Wei stretched out his hand and pointed to a middle-aged woman in the marginal area: "This lady, what is your trouble?" ”

Countless eyes came to her, and the middle-aged woman lowered her head nervously and stammered, "I don't have any worries."

"Is there really not? If not, I'll have to ask somebody else. ”

"If you have to say it," the middle-aged woman said cautiously, "I want to do some work other than tailoring, either cleaning the house or sewing clothes every day."

"That's right! That's what I want! ”

Ma Wei said excitedly: "Women should also have more choices!" The same education should be received! There are many jobs that should support the participation of women! ”

"What is Nicholas talking about?!" The second prince was shocked: "What is he going to do?!" It's a tradition for women not to participate in work! ”

Stewart was also taken aback by Marvey's speech: "Is Nicholas not in control?" What he said touched was the interests of the male group! ”

"What do you mean, Stull?"

Stewart's fiancée, Abigail, was next to her, and after listening to her fiancé's words, she said displeasedly: "You mean, women should be vassals of men, and they shouldn't have their own thoughts, right?" ”

"No, it's not, how can you think that?" Stewart was stunned for a moment: "I'm just stating the facts!" I didn't stop you from trying to learn art! It's your freedom! ”

"If it is freedom, why can't a woman participate in work other than that of a tailor and a housewife?" Abigail asked seriously: "When we were in school, didn't we see a lot of outstanding women who participated in advertising shooting, fitting staff, opera performances, etc.?" ”

Stewart was speechless, he didn't want to quarrel with Abigail, the relationship between the two had always been very good before, why did they suddenly have a disagreement today?

Also noticing this situation was the second prince, who, after listening to the argument between Stuart and Abigail, was surprised to find that women also had a high status in the family!

Especially in aristocratic families, the wives married by male nobles are often also the daughters of aristocratic families, and some aristocratic families only have an only daughter, spoiled like a baby, the man's family naturally does not dare to do anything, and must also respect the woman, the woman has a lot of say at home!

Some men can be angry and angry with their wives, but what if they change their targets to their mothers and grandmothers?

They're women too!

Who doesn't have a mother anymore?

Even the elders are involved in the debate about women's rights

"Nicholas has a long-term vision"

The second prince squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully: "This seems to be a general trend"

"The emancipation of productive forces will lead to the rise of women's independent thoughts, simply put, the emancipation of women's rights and interests is the trend of the times, and it is the only way for society to develop to a certain point."

"That's right, that's right. Well? ”

The second prince found that his voice was very immature, and it was still a female voice, and when he looked down, it turned out to be Yunia!

"Emma, that sentence. Did you say that? ”

"Daddy said it!" Yunia swallowed the candy and slurred her words, "He occasionally says something very esoteric. ”

"So Nicholas said it, did your father say anything?"

"Hmm" Yunia thought for a moment and said, "He said that women's rights and interests are not gender privileges, but rights and interests that enjoy the same rights as men, without discrimination, without favoring men or women, and obtaining legal, social responsibility and moral equality." ”

"Awesome."

Nodding, the second prince looked at the podium, where Ma Wei had already made a new remark.

"Women, like men, should have the right to inherit property and the right to acquire property!"

"That's right! That's right! A woman's voice rang out from the audience.

"As a mother, you should also have custody of your own children!"

"Yes!"

"Women should have the right to vote, too!"

"That's right!"

Every time Ma Wei's words fell, there would be echoing sounds, wave after wave, it seems that at a certain moment, women finally mustered up the courage to vent their dissatisfaction in their hearts, and the life that was too depressing made many people diagnosed with hysteria.

"Everyone, happy times are always short-lived."

Looking at the sunset that was about to set, Ma Wei said regretfully: "This is the end of the speech, before the end, I have one last question. Do you know what parliamentarians should do? ”

In the warm applause, Ma Wei stepped down from the podium, and the second prince and others immediately surrounded him.

"Nicholas, what are you doing! Today is your canvassing speech! How did you say a bunch of irrelevant things? ”

"Irrelevant?" Ma Wei smiled and said, "Your Highness, although I didn't pull a word of votes for myself, these votes will definitely be voted for me." ”

"Why?"

"Because of thinking."

Ma Wei pointed to his head: "A person with independent thinking will not follow the crowd, people in the world are too easy to be bewitched and coerced, they never think about what they need, they just follow everyone to move forward in a mess and lose themselves." ”

"What I'm doing today is getting them to think about what kind of MP they need when they start thinking about it. I've already won. ”

The possibility of married women being able to own property began in 1870, and the Industrial Revolution also inspired a wave of feminism
