"Donghua?"

The rebels looked at each other.

These rebels, mostly made up of Gaelic (i.e., Highland Scots), had no idea of the country at all.

"Zhang?"

In the crowd, a somewhat familiar Gaelic man squeezed out, with a look of surprise on his face.

He wore a shabby British military uniform, but the blue and white striped Scottish flag was pinned to the cuffs, and he had a striking beard that made it easy to distinguish him from other Gaelic people: "It's really you, I guessed it was you when I heard the word Donghua." ”

"You are?"

Zhang Huaisheng was a little puzzled, although the man in front of him looked familiar, he really couldn't remember who it was for a while.

"I'm Theresa's uncle, Killian, and we used to drink together, and we discussed the future of Scotland. I still remember your insights vividly. ”

Teresa?

Zhang Huaisheng reacted for a while before realizing who this name was.

It's the original owner's Gaelic girlfriend who "flew separately when disaster came".

Even now, the photo of the two of them is pressed under the glass pane on the desk.

"Hello, Killian, it's a pleasure to see you again."

Zhang Huaisheng had an embarrassed smile on his face, to be honest, he didn't think he had a deep friendship with this Gael.

Even as far as the original owner is concerned, it was just a joke at a wine table.

But perhaps the original owner was really a political genius, and many of the points he put forward were indeed meritorious, even in Zhang Huaisheng's view.

"Stand down, and don't doubt him, for he is a friend of our Gaelic people."

Killian, who still seemed to be the leader of the rebels, waved his hand for the rebels to retreat, and then said, "Let's talk alone." ”

"Okay."

Zhang Huaisheng leaned sideways to open the door and motioned for Killian to come in.

Killian closed the door casually, pulled out a chair and sat down, and said, "Actually, Teresa misses you very much." ”

Zhang Huaisheng was a little puzzled: "What do you want me to do?" I remember that it was she who left me on her own initiative, and moreover, when I was at my worst. ”

Killian sighed: "She actually has a hard time, our Gaelic uprising has been preparing for many years, and Teresa has also joined in, she doesn't want to implicate you." ”

"Thank you so much for telling me this, I don't really blame her."

It's the original owner who blames her, not me.

Zhang Huaisheng said with a smile.

He actually has some headaches, and as a latecomer, he is not willing to deal with the interpersonal relationships left by the original body at all.

If he hadn't been really desperate, he wouldn't even want to find Liu Huaimin's classmates.

It would make him feel like a thief who had stolen the original owner's body, but he didn't have that subjective idea.

Killian mistook Zhang Huaisheng's words for angry words, and said helplessly: "I know it's hard for you to forgive her, but she is really forced to do it - do you know the transcendental?" ”

Zhang Huaisheng's eyes lit up, he considered the words, and said very cautiously: "Are you talking about nine transcendent paths?" I've seen it in the library's collection. ”

He was trying to act like a person who yearned for the transcendental, but was not extraordinary.

Killian was a little surprised, "You know... That's right, we, the Scottish Regional Defence Committee, have a crippled transcendent path, and Teresa is the one to take. ”

The Scottish Regional Defence Board... The name sounds a lot like anarchist.

Zhang Huaisheng asked with curiosity on his face, "What is it?" ”

"Calamity."

Killian seemed to be afraid that Zhang Huaisheng didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again: "It's the path of calamity, and the transcendent who takes this path is destined to stay away from others, otherwise it will bring disaster - so, Theresa has no choice, she must leave you." But I know that Theresa's feelings for you can't be faked. ”

"Thank you for saying that."

Zhang Huaisheng was stunned, he felt that his mood had inexplicably become much better... Is it the influence left over from the original owner?

"Zhang, do you think our business will be successful?"

"Of course it can be done."

Zhang Huaisheng omitted an "if" here, because he knew that the internal part of the rebel army could never be monolithic and reach the level of unity.

"Do you really think we'll make it?"

Killian was a little surprised: "Zhang, even if you say that, then I'm relieved." ”

Zhang Huaisheng was stunned, he didn't expect Killian to react so much to what he said, he hesitated, but still said, "Do you want to hear the truth or lie?" ”

"Of course it's true!"

Zhang Huaisheng said: "Racism does not work in Scotland, unlike Ireland, where one-third of the population is British, and the other one-third are Lowland Scots who are deeply influenced by English culture.

You Gaelic are a minority, do you still think you can succeed? ”

"Moreover, you Scotland is different from Ireland, in the middle of the nineteenth century, there was a great famine in Ireland, and the British government sat idly by and watched a third of the Irish people starve to death.

The enmity between the Irish and the British is as deep as the sea, so the Irish desire for independence is far stronger than that of the Scottish.

But in Scotland it is different, at least, apart from you Gaelics, the Low Coasters are not at all eager to be independent. ”

Killian's face was full of disbelief: "Impossible, don't those lowlanders also clamore for independence every day?" We should be in the majority. ”

Zhang Huaisheng shook his head and said with a smile: "We have an old saying in Donghua, which is called a crying child has milk to eat. ”

"In fact, the lowlanders do not want to be independent, leaving the world's first power, Great Britain, and Scotland, with its current strength, can it be regarded as a first-rate country?"

"They're just shouting slogans, hoping to get a little more out of the London government."

Looking at Killian's blank expression, Zhang Huaisheng took a deep breath and continued:

"Moreover, the news of the imminent uprising of the Gaelites was already known several days before the outbreak of the war, and yesterday, many British people had evacuated Edinburgh ahead of schedule.

This proves that your organization is not tight, so why do you think the British government will not do anything about it? ”

Zhang Huaisheng does not think that the bureaucrats of the British government are fools, and Scotland is not a colonial territory of the United Kingdom, but the mainland of Britain, the basic plate of the former royal Stuart dynasty.

Killian's face was as dead as ashes, and he slumped on the ground.

After a long time, he spoke again: "Zhang, you are the most knowledgeable Donghua I have ever met, you are right, these problems do exist. ”

"I once suggested to the leaders that there were a lot of Englishmen mixed in with our ranks, but we couldn't do anything else, you know, the Gaelic tradition was about to be cut off, and many Gaelic people only spoke English and not Gaelic languages, and with the fact that we were intermarried, we couldn't tell who the Gaelic were."

Do you think the Gaelic people wouldn't betray you?

There are few people in this world who can't be bought.

Zhang Huaisheng shook his head and sighed lightly: "To be honest, I suspect that the British government is deliberately allowing you to do things, so that it is convenient to suppress and purge you, as long as you opponents are cleansed, Scotland will be stable." ”

This is not alarmism, Britain also purged a large number of Boers in the course of the Second Boer War some time ago.
