Chapter 918

"Members of parliament, I believe everyone must have seen the news that the Emperor of China is moving the capital. We once praised the ascetics of Russia for using more than a century to push the borders of Russia tens of thousands of miles away. Of course, more than a century of hard work had collapsed in just a few years. And now, I want to tell you a true story that happened not too long ago. It's not a story, but a fact. There were some people who used their two legs to travel more than a century and spent more than three years to travel further than the ascetics of Russia. "

Cecil Rhodes? After speaking, Rhodes uncovered the cloth covering his back. On it was a rough map of China. The map used thick red lines to mark the key points from Yongan in 1852 to Guangzhou in 1855. From Yongan to Changsha, from Changsha to Nanjing, from Nanjing to Anhui, from Anhui to Tianjin, from Tianjin to Nanjing, and from Nanjing to Guangdong. Not only did they betray him, Councilman Cecil Anderson After most of the members of parliament had browsed through it, Cecil Rhodes. After most of the members of parliament had browsed through it, Cecil Rhodes continued. "The Emperor of China led his followers along this road without missing a step. The distance exceeded the total distance that the Russians traveled from the Volga River to Alaska.

"The Great Emperor of China, with his followers, followed this road without missing a step, and covered a distance greater than the Russians' total distance from the Volga to Alaska. What stood in front of the Great Emperor of China were not natives who did not even have metal weapons, but hundreds of thousands of troops armed with firearms. But the Emperor of China was not stopped by his enemies. He and his followers defeated all the enemies. We don't need to go into details about what happened next. He commanded the troops to travel several times the distance he had traveled in a few years, reaching places further than the ascetics of Russia. "

Now, biographies about Vézé are very popular in Europe. A small number of books have relatively serious content, but most of the books have bizarre and dazzling content. Now, Cecil Rhodes used a very realistic attitude to describe the journey that Vézé had personally taken. After Rhodes described the journey that Wei Ze had personally embarked on in a very realistic manner, many of the British parliamentarians were also shocked. Vézé had traveled further than Napoleon and Alexander. Compared to these two short-lived emperors, Vézé was as stable as Mount Tai in the capital of China and firmly controlled the power of China.

"Many Europeans have been to China. Many members of parliament or their families have also been to Nanjing. Oh. Many people have also gone to China to plead for help. Some councilors said that the Great Emperor of China and his ministers were 'a bunch of men without an inch of land'. " Rhodes's tone was full of sarcasm. There was also a burst of laughter in the British Parliament. This was how the British parliamentarians, who completely opposed China's state-owned land policy, ridiculed China's upper echelons.

"Some people are very much about the magnificence of Nanjing, and I can understand. No city in Europe had ever had a population of more than seven million people. Some people are very complimentary about the beautiful silk coats they wear. China's silk is indeed of good quality. However, I would like to remind you that no matter how extravagant their clothes are, their real clothes are military uniforms. No matter what important positions they are given, they are soldiers in essence. These terrible people … I actually want to call them very respectable people. They have traveled thousands of miles and stepped on all the enemies with their own hands. They are warriors. They have attacked cities and killed countless people. They were pioneers, cultivating and cultivating vast tracts of land. I think this is very honorable! "

The relaxed atmosphere brought by the brief joke and sarcasm was washed away by Cecil Rhodes. The latter words of Rhodes were washed away without a trace. This description was very effective in shaping the image of the founder of China's Min dynasty. More importantly, it was indeed very close to the truth. He glanced at the members of parliament with a dignified gaze. Cecil Rhodes paused for a moment before continuing his speech in a heavy voice. Rhodes paused for a moment before continuing his speech in a heavy voice.

"We, Britain, once had such a great era. At that time, we had nothing, but our fleets bravely faced the unpredictable winds and waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Our colonists advanced towards the vast and unknown land. In the end, we created an unprecedentedly vast and powerful British Empire. Every member of parliament has the blood of our predecessors. This is the common blood of the people of the British Empire. But that era has passed. The North American colonies have become independent. The vast colonies further north have been sold to China. If this situation continues, I can probably say that the land that the British Empire still has will be lost one by one. This future may seem absurd, but it is not impossible. Because the British Empire only recognizes the British Isles. Other than that, the rest of the land is not the land of the British Empire. Members of parliament, this way of thinking is wrong. Members of parliament! If our ancestors knew what we are thinking today, they would probably roll in their graves in anger! "

This speech was very harsh, but the response was not very big. Many members of parliament knew that Cecil Rhodes was going to promote his plan to solve the United States and establish New England in North America. Obviously, Cecil Rhodes was going to promote his plan to solve the United States and establish New England in North America.

It was obvious that Cecil Rhodes, the member of parliament, had expected such a situation. Rhodes also expected such a situation, so he didn't speak immediately. Instead, he turned around and covered his back with the cloth that was originally covering it. Just when everyone thought he was going to give up, Cecil Rhodes, the member of parliament, turned around and pointed at the cloth that covered him. Rhodes turned and pointed to the veil. "Gentlemen, we might as well hide the facts from view, as this is. But these things won't disappear just because we act selectively and blindly. And do we think that what we cover is the great achievements of other emperors? No, you are wrong! When we turn a blind eye to the great achievements of other countries, we also turn a blind eye to the great enterprising spirit of our British Empire. "

"To develop! To conquer! To build! This is the foundation of the British Empire's strength. If we are going to be stagnant, I also hope that the British Empire will be stagnant on a vast land of millions of square kilometers. Now some members of parliament believe that the British Empire has launched a tragic war. If we lose, the British Empire will be completely destroyed. I want to tell you that this is not true. When we launched the attack on the Spanish fleet, some people said that if we lose, we will be destroyed, but we won. When we launched the attack on the French and Spanish fleet, some people said that if we lose, we will be destroyed, but we won. Now, some people say that if we lose, we will be destroyed. I do not see this as an object of fear, but as a blessing of victory. Our history has proven that this kind of moment has always been the prelude to a more glorious era for the British Empire. Our history has proven that in the face of such a situation, the final winner will be the British Empire! "

Support Cecil?? Rhodes's people were not unheard of. In the past year, more and more British members of parliament and leading British figures were increasingly interested in establishing a British Empire in North America. Now that the emperor of China chose to move the capital for economic development, it shocked the upper echelons of Britain. For European countries, moving their capital was something that had not happened for a long time. As for moving the capital from a wealthy region to a relatively poor region, that was even more impossible.

In the face of Cecil?? Rhodes's speech caused quite a warm applause in the parliament. Although this enthusiastic response did not mean that the applauding members would immediately support the motion to attack the United States, after the emperor of China, Vézé, made such a decision, it did shock the hot-blooded British members of parliament. A continental England with an area of millions of square kilometers was indeed something that many British members of parliament yearned for. China was a huge country with a population of more than 700 million. The upper echelons of Britain had to admit that it was this vast land that could support such a large China population. And how many people would England have in a few million square kilometers of England? 200 million? 300 million? Or more?

While the British parliament was increasingly leaning towards a new direction for the future of Britain, Uncle Ma was also in a discussion with Uncle En on his sickbed. The discussion about China throughout Europe was increasing. Those who had been constantly spreading the theory of the collapse of China because of the implementation of state ownership of land in China had decreased a lot in the past decade. Even though the voices of the remaining people were getting louder and louder, people did not pay as much attention to them as before. What was the reason for China's success? Could China's success be replicated in other European countries? Not only the upper echelons of Europe were discussing it, but even the people began to have more discussions.

In the whole of Europe, the two people who understood China's policy best were probably Uncle Ma and Uncle En. The news about the emperor of China moving the capital made Uncle Ma sigh to Uncle En, "Beardy, I didn't expect China to be able to carry out the role of productivity in promoting society to such an extent."

Uncle En was very indifferent to life and death. Even so, seeing Uncle Ma, who had been tortured by illness, Uncle En still felt very uncomfortable. He pretended to be relaxed and said, "Karl, do you still think that Vézé will become the biggest rebel?"

This was a topic that had been discussed for a long time, and it had even become a joke between the two. Uncle Ma smiled slightly, "Beardy Moore, my opinion is still the same as before. If Vézé privatizes all the achievements, if the system created by Vézé privatizes all this, he will be the biggest rebel. "

Uncle En also forced a smile. He held Uncle Ma's hand and said, "Karl, you are always so strict with Vézé."

Uncle Ma did not smile. He said with some disappointment, "We are always strict with hope, always the most picky. We paid such a high price in exchange for the nationalization of the land. I don't want to see such results usurped in the end. "

Europe had become more and more aware of the situation of the civil war in China 20 years ago, which really shocked Europe. In the distant East, the lives of a hundred million people were lost in that civil war without a sound. China's progress after the civil war was indeed awe-inspiring, but the price of progress could not be ignored. That was a third of the population of all the countries in Europe combined.

"Then you should get better soon. When the time comes, let's go to China together. If you come to China in person, I think Vézé will definitely meet us. " Uncle En looked at Uncle Ma's increasingly pale face and felt the temperature of Uncle Ma's palm getting lower and lower. His voice had begun to tremble.

Without responding to Uncle En's words, Uncle Ma slowly closed his eyes. A soft voice came from his gently wriggling lips, "Beardy, I feel very happy to have a friend like you."

A shooting star streaked across the sky, leaving behind a brief but resplendent trail. It was so bright in the night sky before dawn. In Japan, thousands of miles away from Europe, Hijikata Suizo rode on a red horse made in Hokkaido and shouted to the people around him, "All go! Target Tokyo! "
