Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 181 Churchill
Subtitle of this chapter: All we need is...dad!
Well, this is a serious and very serious issue, but it is not urgent.
Besides, there are so many books I can copy, I don't have to copy this one. I was just extorted 50,000 B coins by the damn Master Ball system, and now the balance is less than 10,000. I'll talk about it after I have B coins in a few days.
Our Master Yuan has another "advantage", that is, he never retreats when faced with difficulties and never gets stuck in a dead end. There are many newspapers in front of him that he hasn't read yet, so he put this matter aside and sat back on the sofa to continue studying these very rare "latest" newspapers.
Yuan Yanshu first chose the North China Daily News because it came from his "homeland", and the second newspaper he picked up was because of its name.
The Times is the most influential newspaper in the world from the late 18th century to the early 20th century. Just looking at its name is impressive. The Times is a times newspaper, unlike The New York Times which has to be prefixed with a place name.
There's nothing we can do about it. Who can blame the people in this historical period for being so arrogant?
He opened the Times and looked up...
Oh, there are actually people who are challenging me! The title of this commentary is "Freedom is not an excuse for falling behind".
Actually, the writing style of this article is really good. However, the central idea is just the old saying of colonialists and "colonists who get an inexplicable pleasure from being colonized": the longer the colonization, the more advanced it is.
To be honest, Yuan Yanshu can understand the logic of the former, but the latter is totally incomprehensible. Yet there are still so many "high-class Chinese" who actually think this way. These guys should really go back to the colonial era and enjoy the love of the white grandfathers.
Don’t they think about this: anyone can become a “superior Chinese”?
Our advanced Chinese people carelessly read "Freedom is not an excuse for backwardness", which is worthless except for its writing style. When they saw the signature "The Greatest Britain", they could not help but sneer in their hearts with disdain: Oh, he is so cowardly that he dares not even sign his real name. What a coward!
Of course the advanced Chinese speak English. They can't even speak English fluently yet they still say "the longer the colonization, the more advanced the country becomes".
In fact, it's not that he didn't dare to reveal his real name. It was really beneath his dignity for the British Empire's Minister of War and Air to personally come out and criticize such an unknown Chinese.
Master Yuan actually had some impression of this pen name.
Wait, this wimp's pen name is "The Greatest Briton"?!
"Master Ball, search for me..."
"Host, it is indeed so..."
Oh, it’s that fat guy!
No wonder he has a good writing style, this guy also won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. His winning work is "Unnecessary War", and the reason for winning the award is "for his achievements in describing history and biography, and for his brilliant speeches defending lofty human values."
The Fatty also holds a world record in literature. He is the writer who uses the most English words in his articles, and no one has been able to surpass his vocabulary of 120,000 words so far.
I have to say that Churchill and our Master Yuan really have a lot of similarities.
First of all, these two are both young and handsome.
Master Yuan, who has 15 points of charm, is not to be mentioned. Churchill was also really good-looking when he was young. In fact, you must have a good appearance to make a living in politics in the West these days. Don't be fooled by the funny mustache. He later became a killer of middle-aged and elderly women in Germany.
Secondly, both of them are good at speaking.
Of course, it’s not the eloquent type, but a man who is both eloquent and stylish.
Finally, these two are masters of talking and writing who are far better than their hands-on skills.
Yuan Yanshu was only a master of talking nonsense, while Churchill was only a master of talking nonsense in some aspects.
In 1915, during World War I, as the Minister of the Navy, he actively promoted the "Dardanelles Campaign" plan . He believed that as long as the warships were sailed to Constantinople... well, it should be called Istanbul, the Ottoman Empire could be forced to withdraw from the military alliance with Germany, and at the same time, the sea route with Russia could be opened.
As a result, the Allied forces suffered more than 50% casualties among their 500,000 troops! In the end, they were driven out of the Gallipoli Peninsula by the "Sick Man of Europe".
But then again, this incident cannot be blamed too much on the Navy Minister, after all, he is not a frontline commander.
After this, Churchill, who knew his shame and became braver, resigned voluntarily and went to the French front to become the commander of the 6th Battalion of the Royal Scottish Mauser Regiment.
As a result, after a year, most of his men had died, and he had to cancel his unit and merge it with other units.
But then again, this incident cannot be blamed too much on the front-line commander, after all, the French front in 1916 was so bloody.
In the summer of 1924, Churchill was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer by Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, a position second only to the Prime Minister in the Cabinet and also the position Churchill's father had held. During his tenure, he pushed for Britain to return to the gold standard.
As a result, because this policy caused the price of British goods in the international market to rise by 12%, the British were later scolded by Keynes, the "founder of macroeconomics."
But then again, this incident cannot be blamed on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, after all, he knows nothing about finance... Well, can someone who knows nothing about finance become Chancellor of the Exchequer? Anyone who asks such a question must know nothing about democratic elections!
So, there is a good dad between our Master Yuan and Fatty Qiu. His father is from a famous family and was once the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the United Kingdom. As for my two fathers... it is better not to talk about them.
Yuan Yanshu hated the idea of competing with his father the most in his life, so he turned his anger into writing power and picked up a piece of paper and started writing:
"The Apologist for Colonialism"
After the war between European powers, which I call "World War I", the European people have awakened. Especially in Eastern Europe, more than a dozen countries, including the three Baltic States, the Free City of Danzig, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, and the Republic of Montenegro, have declared independence. In fact, the faces of Asia, Africa, and Latin America are also changing.
It can be said that after the First World War, the colonialists could no longer extinguish the raging fire of the national liberation movement. The old colonial system was disintegrating, and the rear of colonialism became the front line of the anti-colonial struggle. The colonial rule over colonies and dependent countries had been overthrown in some countries, and in some other countries it had suffered a great blow and was on the verge of collapse.
This will inevitably weaken and shake the rule of colonialism in the country. We can see that there is a national liberation war going on in the place where colonialism originated.
The author boldly predicts that the brave Irish people will soon see the ugly face of the British Empire, because this evil empire will use the most brutal means to suppress their just actions. Although this will cost blood, it is the only way to get rid of this evil empire.
The British Empire will eventually be shocked by the heroic actions of the Irish people. Although they are strong on the outside but weak on the inside, they will eventually have to sit down at the negotiation table. Their negotiators may still be dreaming of the great future in the glory of Victoria..
…
At the end of this article, the author would like to give a loud cheer to the fighting Irish people - FREEDOM!
