In the end, Lu Shi made up his mind to write the script.

He has already written "No One Left Alive", earned a lot of money for manuscripts, expanded his influence in academic circles with "Guns, Germs and Steel", and used the poems "One Generation" and "Answer" to stir up the entire European cultural circle.

After this operation, fame and fortune are gained.

Therefore, it is difficult to continue to be in a corner of the land time.

The evidence is Gu Hongming's visit some time ago, and then Chelon's admiration.

There will be more similar things in the future.

That being the case, it is better to actively participate in the great controversy of 1900 and take advantage of the trend.

The future trend of Britain is that the Liberal Party is on the rise, and the Conservative Party is constantly squeezed into living space, until 1906, when the Liberal Party boss Henry Campbell Bannerman came to power to form a cabinet, and this trend has developed to its peak.

(Actually, it's not the pinnacle, there are World War I and World War II later.) ）

Therefore, Lu Shi didn't mind helping a group of George Bernard Shaw and creating a realistic satirical comedy for Wardhouse-

"Yes! Prime Minister.

As the so-called "half of the British drama rules the world", this script is about British politics, focusing on shaping the relationship between British politicians and affairs officers, which is most in line with the British water and soil, and the attributes of the situational unit drama are also easy to adapt into dramas.

But Yes! The premiere of "The Prime Minister" was in January 1986, and the content certainly cannot be copied.

Lu Shi can only be modified slowly.

On the other hand, George Bernard Shaw is also actively in contact,

He was incredibly efficient, and he quickly made an appointment with Wardhouse.

……

Two days later.

Head to a café across the river from the Palace of Westminster.

The Palace of Westminster is one of the masterpieces of Gothic Revival architecture, and from across the River Thames, you can see Big Ben.

Lu Shi ordered two cups of coffee and waited in the private room.

A short time later, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Shi said, "Please come in." ”

The door was immediately pushed open.

A young Englishman walked in and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Luk, the contemptible Winston Churchill is a member of parliament for the Alder constituency. ”

Churchill said as he reached over his head to take off his hat, only to find that he was not wearing it.

His movements couldn't help but stiffen,

"I forgot about it again."

Apparently, he probably left his hat in the office.

Lu Shi was surprised,

"Mr. Churchill, I thought I had come today to meet the Earl of Kimberley."

Churchill did not answer, but asked, "Listen to Mr. Lu, you seem to know me?" ”

Lu Shi said: "Of course I know. Some time ago, you made headlines in the Manchester Guardian every day, slamming the Conservative Party's trade barrier policies and insisting on opposing the government's plans to expand the army. How could I not know? ”

Churchill couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed,

"If I had known this, I would not have moved those useless thoughts."

Churchill finally persuaded Wardhouse to get the opportunity to meet Lu Shi this time.

But he didn't let Wardhouse inform Lu Shi in advance, because he was worried that Lu Shi hadn't heard of him, so there would be a misunderstanding.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shi is a modern person and has no impression of the Earl of Kimberley, but Churchill's photos have been seen in textbooks.

Lu Shi looked at Churchill's stomach and sighed in his heart,

Time is really a pig-killing knife,

No matter how handsome a person is, he may become a pot-bellied old man in the future.

Churchill sat down opposite Lu Shi and said, "I was very curious to hear Sir Wardhouse mention Mr. Luke's plans yesterday, and I would like to come and meet you. ”

Lu Shi asked, "Then the earl himself is not coming?" ”

Churchill smiled,

"He's got something to do."

Wardhouse was curious about the polls, but only to the extent of curiosity,

Therefore, when Churchill offered to meet with Lu Shi, Wardhouse sent a favor.

The purpose is very simple, nothing more than to buy people's hearts,

Wardhouse wanted to woo Churchill.

Lu Shi can also guess the approximate, so he doesn't continue to ask.

He asked, "Mr. Churchill, in what capacity are you here?" ”

Churchill was surprised,

"What do you mean by that?"

Lu Shi pointed in the direction of the Palace of Westminster,

It's all in plain sight.

Churchill was stunned, then laughed and said, "I have heard Sir talk about Mr. Lu's intelligence before, and I was quite disdainful at the time. When I met today, I realized that Sizz's description was still too conservative. ”

This is actually a kind of secret boasting.

In fact, after reading "No One Survived" and "Guns, Germs and Steel", Churchill had a good evaluation of Lu Shi, believing that Lu Shi was very sensitive to the bipartisan state of the two parties in Britain.

But how deep can a Chinese and a student from a feudal imperial system know deeply?

Churchill wasn't sure until he met Lu Shi.

But now, he knows in his heart,

"Mr. Lu doesn't need to worry, my status as a member of parliament may be ...... Alas......"

Churchill sighed deeply.

Lu Shi knew the reason,

Disagreeing with the Conservative Party's policy of protective tariffs, Churchill called himself an "independent Tory",

This is tantamount to a blatant rebellion, and it is no wonder that he will be disqualified from parliament in the future.

Lu Shi said: "That is true, maybe it won't be long before Mr. Churchill will be transformed into a Liberal." ”

Churchill's eyes shrunk,

Mr. Lu laughed.

Chameleons are always unpopular.

Churchill was elected to parliament as a Conservative before leaving the Conservative Party in 1905 to join the Liberal Party.

As a result, in 1906, the Liberal Cabinet was formed, and Churchill, who was in his early thirties, was appointed Undersecretary of the Colonial Office, pushing for autonomy in South Africa and further consolidating his position within the Liberal Party.

Judging from this experience, Churchill was more or less suspected of political speculation.

(Miraculously, Churchill later moved closer to the Conservatives.) ）

Lu Shi didn't want to dwell on these anymore,

He reverted to the topic: "Mr. Churchill, why are you interested in the polls?" ”

Churchill laughs,

"In my opinion, the poll proposed by Mr. Lu is a kind of social survey to understand the tendency of public opinion. As a politician, I certainly want to have a tool that can faithfully reflect people's attitudes towards a certain social issue or certain issues. ”

This answer is very orthodox,

Combined with Churchill's upright attitude and standard London accent, it is indeed very infectious.

But Lu Shi knew in his heart that he couldn't believe a word of the politician's words, otherwise he would be easily sold and help others count the money.

Lu Shi asked: "Mr. Churchill, are you going to contribute?" ”

Churchill shrugged,

"No, no, no, of course not me. Mr. Lu, have you forgotten? I'm here in place of Sir Wardhouse. ”

As he spoke, Churchill blinked subtly,

"As to whether the funding is Sir Wardhouse's personal act, or his act as Honorary Chancellor of the University League of London, or his act as a Liberal, I dare not make up my mind."

Churchill just admitted that he was curious about the polls, and now he calls himself an "errand runner", and the changes are very great.

Lu Shi secretly said in his heart:

Cunning and cunning!

No, the current Churchill is only 27 years old, and he should be a treacherous and cunning.

Lu Shi secretly said in his heart:

Little treacherous and cunning!
