Chapter 561: Helping All Mankind
"Now that Miss Flory understands what the Red Cross is all about, are you interested in contributing to love and justice?"
"What do you do?" Flori, without looking up, "is it helping you to whitewash the surface so that people all over the world feel that the Red Cross represents truth, goodness and beauty?"
"Tenth sister, don't be delusional. Ren Xiaodie shook her head and said, "My Flori's is a really caring girl, and it takes hundreds of years for Europe to produce one, so if you want to do it, you must do practical things, so that you don't sell dog meat on the head of a sheep." ”
Ji Aojian smiled, "I naturally know that Miss Flory is a living Lei Feng...... That's a really good person, so she worked hard to set up a charity association controlled by herself to seriously benefit the public.
"Yes, since you know that Flora never came to the Red Cross, why did she have to mix with the Red Cross?"
"The Red Cross can also do good deeds. Ji Aojian said sincerely, "Miss Flori, as long as you are willing to join, you are the vice chairman of the committee, and you will be responsible for the development of charity affairs." ”
"Well, what's the use of taking on the name of an empty vice-chairman. Ren Xiaodie grabbed the conversation again, "My dear, in this Red Cross, if you want money or not, you want no people, what can you do?"
"How can there be no one?" Ji Aojian pointed at Betsy, "It has been discussed just now, volunteers will be provided by the Maid Association, they are all professional service people, and there is no more suitable person to do good deeds." ”
"Sir, this matter is not entirely decided. Betsy was taken aback, "I just feel like working with Miss Flory." It's the best option for both parties, but it's up to the sisters of our association to agree......"
"Now that you know it's the best option. There is no reason why it will not be done, and we currently think that the cooperation has been decided. ”
Ren said. "Even if the dear and the maid association have cooperated, but the Red Cross is an international organization, and it must do charity activities around the world, how can the maid association in London alone provide enough manpower?"
"The Maid Association is an industry organization, and it will also unite its peers across borders in the future. Ji Ao Kendao, "The maids of the world are one family, and the maids of the whole world have united to form an international maid association." It's a natural path. When the time comes, no matter what area the Red Cross is doing charity, it can find the local maid association to cooperate. ”
Betsy was amazed and said, "We're going to develop into a worldwide maid association?"
"This is the best way to go, there is no reason why it can't be done, and we can think that the International Maid Association has been established at the moment. ”
Fluttershy continued, "Even if the International Maid Association was founded, it would work well with the International Red Cross. How to solve the problem of funding for philanthropy?"
The real role of the Red Cross was shadow banking, and the "charitable donations" received were actually deposits of the aristocracy, not something that could be used casually.
Ji Aojian said calmly, "As long as Miss Flory is willing to preside over the overall situation of charity affairs." Thirty percent of the registered capital of the Red Cross will be in your name and will be at your disposal. You can also use a dedicated account in the future. Make a genuine charity fundraiser, earmarked for the exclusive purpose of the fund. ”
Fluttershy asked. "What is the 30% registered capital you are talking about?"
"The ones my wife and I just donated. ”
"Nice, that's a lot of money!" Ren exclaims excitedly. Then he said, "By the way, you said that this share belongs to your name, who is this 'you' referring to?"
"The ancients said that they were brothers in battle, and fathers and sons went into battle. Ji Aojian said lightly, "If Miss Flory is planning charity affairs for the International Red Cross alone, she will definitely not be busy, and you fellow shoppers will naturally be pulled into the board of directors by her, so the six of you should also be shareholders together." ”
"I see it. Fluttershy happily said to Flori, "Honey, now we want people and money." As long as you are willing to take the lead, you are in charge of the charity aspect. ”
Florie didn't answer her words, but looked at Ji Aojian with a serious face, "Your Excellency Marquis, what are you willing to pay such a big price to let the Red Cross do some real charity?"
"Miss Flory. His Excellency the Marquis smiled, "As you just said, love and justice are the best umbrellas. ”
Flori is the future goddess of lanterns, and her understanding of the avenue of "love and justice" has of course reached an extremely high level, and Ji Aojian is also impressed in his heart.
A charity that is not worthy of the name can easily be seen through by the world, and only by truly insisting on unquestionable public welfare acts can the halo of love and justice always shine and will not fade.
And the real charity action must also be operated by people with a genuine charitable heart, so that there will be no perfunctory response, or even the bad consequences of stealing the pillars.
Historically, Nightingale opened a field hospital during the Crimean War, with thirty-eight nurses to provide medical care to soldiers. This is not only taking the initiative to undertake countless dirty work, not only requires patient and careful care, but also risks the rain of bullets on the battlefield and the danger of epidemic infection in an unfamiliar environment.
It is for this reason that this act of being the first of its kind to be a field care is so great, loving and courageous.
Every night, she patrolled with a wind lantern in her hand, which is why the wounded and sick affectionately called her "Lady of the Lantern".
Therefore, in Ji Aojian's mind, Flora went to be in charge of the affairs of the Red Cross, and there was no more suitable person than her for hundreds of years.
However, at this time, the goddess of the lantern did not care about the question of whether she was suitable or not, "Your Excellency Marquis, no matter how many real good deeds the Red Cross has done, it is still not a pure charity, is it?"
Ji Aojian sighed, "Miss Flori, if you are only willing to do the purest charitable work, it is unrealistic. ”
"How unrealistic?"
"Pure philanthropy does not exist in this world. "Ji Ao Kendo. "Especially, when you've done world-class philanthropy. No matter how simple your motives and actions are, they will no longer be pure charity. ”
Flory smiled. "Not necessarily. ”
"For example, Miss Flory, have you ever thought about providing medical care to the British army and reducing the battlefield mortality rate of the wounded?"
"Huh?" Flori's eyes widened, "how do you know?"
Although Flori was born in Italy, her parents were actually British, so of course she was also British, and it was only natural for her to help the British army.
"I'll guess, you don't have to care. Ji Aojian coughed. "One year in the future, when a war broke out overseas, you took the initiative to go to the battlefield to care for the wounded soldiers, which greatly reduced the mortality rate of soldiers, and was regarded as a national hero by all British citizens. ”
Ren Xiaodie said suspiciously, "Doesn't that sound good, dear is this character." ”
"But," Ji Aojian said solemnly, "the British army has greatly decreased because of the death rate. You will be able to maintain more sufficient combat effectiveness and have a better chance of winning the final victory. In other words, Miss Flory's work was one of the key factors in the victory of the British in the war. So. Her acts of kindness have naturally become an indispensable part of the war machine of the Kingdom of Britain!"
"Can that still be counted?" Ren was taken aback, "My dear is only helping her own soldiers, and she hasn't hurt any of the enemy soldiers." ”
"Increase the survival rate of your soldiers. can help your own army to fight the enemy. Ji Aojian sneered, "Logistics support is originally part of the strength of the army. It is an important link that affects the outcome of a war. ”
Flory waved her hand, "Your Excellency the Marquis is right. If the battlefield medical staff can effectively help the British soldiers, of course, they will also help them to victory. ”
Therefore, whoever achieves great things will definitely affect the overall situation, which is an unavoidable reality. ”
Ji Aojian said slowly, "Miss Flory, you treated the wounded on the battlefield, and objectively helped the British army. You have done good deeds in the Red Cross, and objectively you have also helped the nobles. Since objective effects cannot be avoided in any case, as long as you do good deeds out of your heart, then why care whether the derivative effects of charity are pure or not?"
"This ......"
"Miss Flory, you're actually against war, aren't you?"
"Of course. Flory nodded immediately, "War has hurt thousands of families, and humanity should unite and work to eradicate this evil." ”
"So you're just trying to help the wounded, not to help your own army win. If there is battlefield care in the opposing army, you would be happy to see it, right?"
"That's right. Flory replied without hesitation, "All wounded deserve timely and humane care." ”
"If you say that, you should join the Red Cross. Ji Aojian looked compassionate, "The purpose of our International Red Cross Society is that every country has established a Red Cross Society to provide battlefield treatment for its soldiers in times of war. We can even provide medical assistance to all wounded on the battlefield without discrimination, regardless of borders. ”
Ren was surprised, "Does the Red Cross have such a purpose?"
"As soon as Miss Flory joined the Red Cross, it was natural that she would have such a purpose. Ji Aojian waved his hand, "In this way, all parties in the war can receive unified humanitarian assistance, and there is no problem of unilaterally helping a certain army, and naturally it cannot be regarded as an integral part of the war machine." ”
"I really admire your ideas. Flory hesitated for a moment and said, "But can this really be done in this world?"
"Miss Flory, have faith in the future of humanity. Ji Aojian earnestly admonished, "Love and justice have the most vitality, and love and justice are undying hopes." ”
"My dear, let's join the Red Cross together. Ren advises, "If you are limited to the UK, you can only help one country." And with a worldwide charity organization as a platform, you can make your benevolent heart have a global impact and help all mankind, isn't it the best thing?"
After closing her eyes and thinking for a moment, Florie opened her eyes again, "Mr. Gillief, if you can really ensure that the Red Cross's charitable affairs are not interfered with, I am willing to take this position." ”
"There's Fluttershy as the overseer, and the Master as the guarantor. Ji Aojian smiled lightly, "Even if you can't trust me, can't you trust the two of them?" ”
"Honey, I'll help you for the next few years. Ren immediately assured, "As soon as I leave office and return to China, I will also establish the Red Cross in China, echoing you." ”
Flory also smiled, "You also need to establish a maid association in China to have enough manpower." ”
"The Chinese Maid Association?"
Ren Xiaodie read it a few times, clapped her hands violently, and laughed, "I'm so stupid, no wonder I've always felt that this maid guild has a familiar feeling, it turns out that there are similar organizations in our country." ”
Becky was also curious when she heard this, "Miss Ambassador, could it be that you already have a maid association in China?"
"yes. But strictly speaking, our organization is not only for maids, but also for sisters from all walks of life. ”
Several of the girls became more curious and asked, "What kind of organization is that?"
Fluttershy puffed out her chest and said proudly, "Our organization is called the Mending Heaven Society. (To be continued.) )
