After staying in Beijing for a few days, Wang Mingshan felt the psychological pressure was greatly reduced. The market was peaceful, the society was stable, and the people and officials did not seem to be in a fierce struggle. Even the Military Governor Vaize and Shen Xin looked calm from afar.
After Wang Mingshan toured the Old Summer Palace, his whole body relaxed, and he even somewhat regretted not bringing Marquess Grace along to have a look. The Old Summer Palace was even more beautiful after the renovation. Many houses that seemed useless had been torn down and built into small buildings with great ornamental value and internal practicality. The designers were very skilled. The new houses were beautiful and integrated with the surrounding environment, adding to the scenery of the garden.
Wang Mingshan was surprised to find that there was a weekly radio program called "Vézé's Weekend Talk". Vézé would always talk about topics that the people were concerned about. Because it was broadcast to the people, Vézé's talk was very easy to understand.
"… We need to prepare before we do anything. Farming is not like picking up a hoe before the broadcast. Polishing farm tools, checking the tires of vehicles, oiling the axles, these are all preliminary preparations. The more farm work you master, the corresponding preparations will be made. This is the usual practice of those farmers. If they are good at preparing, they may not necessarily be called farmers. But farmers, all know how to prepare … "
Wang Mingshan heard that this was the content of "Theory of Practice". If the original text of "Theory of Practice" was spoken on the radio … Wang Mingshan had read "Theory of Practice" in Party Building. The pronunciation and various preset conditions in brackets made it very difficult for him to read, and even a little painful.
This weekend talk was aimed at farmers. Vézé spoke in the context of agriculture. Even Wang Mingshan, who did not understand agriculture, could understand. In fact, there were only a few ways to do things. Preview, review, integrate theory with practice, ask if you don't understand, and learn if you don't. But it was easy to say, but it was really difficult to do. Vézé did not avoid questions, nor did he try to scare people. It made people feel as if their strength and abilities had increased after listening to it. At the very least, their horizons had been broadened.
After turning off the radio, Wang Mingshan felt refreshed. He suspected that he might have been overly nervous. Then, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, 'As the highest leader of the country, making this kind of broadcast speech seems to be a big problem in itself, right?'
From the initial revolutionary era, the Military Governor Of Vaize operated through organizations. Now, the Military Governor Of Vaize spoke directly to the entire country. "Vézé's Weekend Talk" was a program of CCTV, which meant that it was broadcasted to the entire country. The traditional political model of productivity could not understand this practice.
Wang Mingshan suddenly thought of a possibility, as the string of the struggle suddenly tightened. If those old brothers were to pressure the commander-in-chief too much, the commander-in-chief would publicly criticize them on the radio program … Thinking of this, Wang Mingshan felt that his imagination was running wild. It was impossible for the commander-in-chief to lose control of the organization. But soon, he couldn't help but think along the previous line of thought. If the commander-in-chief publicly declared that some people or a group of people were enemies and asked the people to take action. With the current faith of the Min dynasty people in Vézé, those "enemies" would be torn to pieces immediately.
Feeling his heart beating violently, Wang Mingshan felt that his idea was too absurd. While looking for reasons to think so, Wang Mingshan found that it was an assumption of the situation in Hungary. If Queen Sissi, who was loved by both the upper and lower classes of Hungary, publicly expressed a comprehensive criticism of socialism, the socialists would probably fall into a stage of extreme passivity. As the head of the Democracy Foundation, Wang Mingshan did not want to face such a situation at all.
At the end of the year, Wang Mingshan was ordered to report to Vézé. After first explaining the situation of the Democracy Foundation, Wang Mingshan directly complained, "Commander-In-Chief, we don't have outstanding people here. The young people in the bank have no interest in this. You have to find people like Comrade Wang Shizhen."
Vézé laughed, "A country's revolution depends on the country's own situation. My request to the Democracy Foundation is to provide European countries with a possible choice. I will send people to you, but don't be impatient yourself. "
"Europe is very afraid of socialism. Oh, it's the European upper class. Do we have any other choice but to wait patiently? "Wang Mingshan had already made this judgment.
"That's not necessarily true. Mingshan, you should be aware of the difference between European countries and the Min dynasty. Europe wants people to create profits for capital. Although our Min dynasty did not achieve the highest, we at least developed productivity to give people stronger abilities and promote self-liberation. Different goals, different results. The reason why the European upper class is afraid of socialism is because once the European people accept socialism, the European upper class will be eliminated. In order to survive, they have two ways. One is to eliminate the external socialist system. Now it seems that they can't do it. If we don't fight, they can burn incense. The other is to suppress the people in the country. If you want to suppress certain ideas accurately, you have to be with the people. Do you expect those old men to be able to do it? They can't do it. If they want to suppress it, they will kill on a large scale. They would rather kill a thousand wrongly than let one go. The result of doing this will only intensify social contradictions. "
Listening to Vézé's introduction, Wang Mingshan felt that he could only listen. Vézé's judgment was always correct, but this kind of judgment was not the kind that would produce excellent results at a certain time. So after listening, Wang Mingshan only responded, "Send me some outstanding young comrades, I can lead them to persevere."
"I will arrange this. In addition, the Democracy Foundation needs to be aware that we are not using our funds to support a group of playful verbal revolutionaries. I think you will definitely be able to distinguish these people. Those who only seek results must be playful. You walked step by step from Nanjing to Guangzhou, "Vézé said.
"I understand." Wang Mingshan replied.
After walking out of Vézé's office, Wang Mingshan stood at the door and did not move. Vézé's words about the journey to the south 40 years ago touched Wang Mingshan. Recalling the journey 40 years ago, Wang Mingshan sometimes even felt enlightened. He never thought that in just a few months, he would rely on his own two feet to realize the old adage that 'a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step'. Not just a thousand miles, but four thousand miles. This was the first time that Wang Mingshan really put the old adage into practice in his life.
There were men and women, old and young in the expedition team. Most of the members of this team had never been to Guangzhou before, and more than half of them did not even know that Guangzhou existed in the world. But everyone followed behind Vézé and completed the four-thousand-mile journey step by step. After arriving in Guangzhou, Wang Mingshan had traveled more than 100,000 miles. But the four-thousand-mile journey had always been Wang Mingshan's only expedition. The expeditionary crowd, the lively appearance of the marching comrades, the earth-shaking chorus of the marching team.
Wang Mingshan's nose suddenly turned sour, and his eyes turned red. He suddenly realized that the team in his memory was so powerful, and everyone in that team was so full of strength. Not only did they exist 40 years ago, but they had also gone through 40 years of time and created greater achievements in the present era.
But the excitement calmed down in a flash. Wang Mingshan had a mentality of testing the Hungarian people. Among the Hungarian people, how many people would embark on the journey without hesitation, and how many people could reach the end of the expedition like Wang Mingshan? Could those people use the end of each expedition as a starting point and embark on a new expedition? For 40 years, the Military Governor Of Vaize had never stopped for a day. The team behind the Military Governor Of Vaize did not decrease, but rapidly expanded in size. Could the Hungarians do it? So far, there had not been a leader like the Military Governor Of Vaize among them.
After spending the New Year in Beijing, it was already March when Wang Mingshan returned to Cyprus. A piece of news came, and Wang Mingshan could not help but show a sarcastic smile.
In Budapest, Queen Sissi's face was gloomy. The murder of Miklós delayed her vacation to Italy. Her Majesty the Queen, who used to arrive in Italy at the beginning of December, did not arrive until the end of December this time. It was Wang Mingshan's mistress, Marquess Grace, who greeted the Queen at the resort. Looking at the Marquess, who was glowing with a child, the 59-year-old Queen could not help but feel some nostalgia and jealousy. It was painful to give birth to a child, but women felt happy when they were pregnant. Queen Sissi could see that Marquess Grace was very satisfied with Wang Mingshan.
The two spent a few days together, and after Her Majesty the Queen promised to visit Cyprus as soon as possible, Marquess Grace returned to Cyprus. Her son was left in Cyprus, and as a mother, of course, she was worried.
When Her Majesty the Queen returned to Budapest, the Hungarian Royal Court and the upper echelons sent a document asking Her Majesty the Queen to agree to the execution of three prisoners and the imprisonment of twelve. The Queen looked at the contents of the document. Of the six prisoners to be executed, three were charged with 'inciting bandits to kill Miklós', and the rest, whether they were sentenced to death or imprisoned, were all political prisoners.
"You!" There was real anger in the Queen's voice. "What makes you believe that I would sign such a thing?!"
"Your Majesty, we know your mercy. But these people want to destroy us, and they have already done so. They killed Miklós. Not only that, but these people instigated strikes and demonstrations. They openly declared that they wanted to destroy the current government and the current system. Your Majesty, if you let them go and let them continue to do this. Then it won't just be three people who died, but twelve people, "the Minister of Justice said calmly.
Queen Sissi's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and she was not moved at all. The Minister of Justice continued, "When the revolution broke out in China, there were 500 million people. By the time the Manchu Qing royal family was completely killed and the war was completely over, 100 million people had died in China. That's 20%, one in five people had died. Your Majesty, Hungary has a population of 20 million, and according to this ratio, four million people will die. With your mercy, do you really want to see that result? "
The figures described by the Minister of Justice shocked the Queen greatly. She knew that the tragic civil war during the establishment of the Min dynasty had led to terrible sacrifices. But the number of 100 million people was so large that there was no way for the Queen to feel a sense of resonance. After converting to the proportion and substituting Hungary, four million people was enough for the Queen to form an idea.
Because she was moved, the Queen turned to the Archbishop of the Church. Seeing the Queen's gaze, the Archbishop bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Church does not advocate killing, because it is God's business to decide people's life and death. But those people's propaganda is to destroy the Church completely, and we do not intend to make any request for pardon. "
Queen Sissi was also surprised to hear the Archbishop of the Church make such a decision. Then she heard the representative of the Parliament speak. He was a scholar who had always been regarded as the representative of the movement supporting civil freedom.
"Your Majesty, those bastards want to achieve revolution through killing. They believe that the revolution can be completed by mercilessly killing the upper echelons like China. Your Majesty, our Parliament has always advocated progress, just like the kind His Majesty advocates. Therefore, our Parliament will never agree with any illegal violence, let alone violence with the purpose of killing from the beginning. Your Majesty, the meaning of progress is to promote justice, and justice is against killing. The actions of those people are no longer just killing, but murder. We will never allow such people to harm Hungary. "The tone of the scholar was firm, and his attitude made Queen Sissi speechless.
At this time, the representative of the nobles wanted to speak, but the Queen waved her hand to stop him. There was no need to be boring to repeat the position of the nobles.
In Cyprus, Wang Mingshan asked Grace, "Do you think that when the Queen sees the death sentence, she will feel that she has been cheated by those people from the upper class?"
Grace laughed and said, "I don't oppose the revolution, but it doesn't mean that I agree with or support it. The only reason I don't oppose the revolution is because you are a Chinese. "
"Haha." Wang Mingshan was amused by Grace's words. Marquise Grace and Wang Mingshan only pursued life together, and politics had never been a part of their life. Ruthless bankers would never support the revolution. This was something that could be understood with one's toes.
When Wang Mingshan finished laughing, Marquise Grace replied seriously, "Your Majesty, you should prepare for the Queen's arrival."
After thinking for a few seconds, Wang Mingshan replied, "Do you think that the Queen will come to Cyprus to escape her responsibilities?"
