I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

Aliguo replied: "It is a picturesque place. As far as I know, His Majesty Napoleon of the Third Empire of France and his wife are living there, as well as the Ottoman Sultan, the Daimyo of the Changzhou Domain of Japan, and the King of Vietnam, etc. Wait, they all have houses there."

"Isn't that a prison for political prisoners?" Arthur jumped up.

"Oh, absolutely not! Don't you know that the daimyo of the Changzhou domain is Zhu Fugui's father-in-law, and he is also the director of the business committee of Wuguocheng Community."

A Liguo shook his head, and took out a few photos from his briefcase, "Look, there are leisure facilities such as steppers, waist twisters, magic circles, etc. in the community, as well as a chess and card room. It's definitely a good place... …but……"

"But what?"

After looking at the photos, I feel that although the environment of this community is huge compared with the big house in the countryside of London, it is still very good compared with the imaginary concentration camp.

Arthur felt a little relieved, but when he heard the word "but", he raised his heart again.

"Zhu Fugui originally planned this way, but because you showed your hand in front of him just now, Your Highness, he changed his mind temporarily."

"Show a hand?"

Arthur felt baffled, "I didn't show my hand..."

"You are too modest, Your Highness..."

A Liguo pointed to Arthur's buttocks and said, "In India, there are a total of 300 princes and princes. After verification, only 11 people were beheaded by the Tartar Song Dynasty before, but this time there were only 288 princes and princes who participated in the Calcutta ceremony. One person is missing, Your Highness, do you know what happened?"

"How did I know that I am the governor of Canada, not the governor of India! Of course, I don't know anything about Canada either!" Arthur replied as a matter of course.

"Ah, this incident was actually published in The Times before. The headline is "The Roar of Justice, the Just Thing That Slams the Yellow Peril Invaders."

A Liguo explained, "About a year and a half ago, when the Ming people occupied Siam and just marched towards British Burma, their first battle encountered stubborn resistance from the Bangalore division.

This Indian division composed of people from Bangalore created the biggest battle result since the full-scale war between Britain and the Ming Dynasty. They made more than 8000 Ming troops incapable of fighting at one time, and had to withdraw to Japan for recuperation and rehabilitation.

With their own sacrifices, they greatly delayed the pace of Ming invasion.

And in that war, the division commander who led the army to fight the Ming people, even tossed and turned in the cow dung pond, and hit the imperial tiger of the Ming country with poop was the highly respected Grand Duke of Bangalore.

In the end, the Grand Duke of Bangalore was outnumbered and was brutally shot to death in the cow dung pond by the Ming army.

What Zhu Fugui meant was that the number of 300 princes in India must be completed.

And in line with the principle of whoever shoots, whoever makes up, including Zhao Xiaobao, the king of the Song Dynasty, Sotna, the Duke of Tongliao, and Yuan Muren, Shan Baohou, etc., a total of 11 princes will be established in the Song Dynasty.

On Daming's side, a new Grand Duke of Bangalore will also be conferred.

Zhu Fugui said that although Prince Arthur and the old Grand Duke of Bangalore had never masked their faces, they had the same hobbies and similar food habits, and they were the best heirs.

In a few days, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Honglu Temple, will officially crown you as the Grand Duke of Bangalore after washing you in a cow dung bath according to the Bangalore custom.

In addition, Zhu Fugui also said that, as your Uncle Zhu, he thinks it is extremely absurd and wrong for Her Majesty the Queen to establish a leader but not a virtuous person.

He said that Bangalore has been a frontier fortress since ancient times, and there are so many generous and elegiac people. Compared with London, which is full of luxury and money, the cow dung warriors are more sturdy and brave.

Zhu Fugui asked you to do a good job there. When the time changes in the future, he will send Tang Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Kong Youde in the Middle East-South Tianzhu to help you raise troops to calm the disaster, enter London, and let the cow dung fly freely over London ..."

Chapter 797 The press conference with a turning point

10 Downing Street, Westminster Borough, Metropolitan London.

This black Georgian-style building, in addition to being the official residence of the Prime Minister of the British Empire and the Prime Minister's office, the Prime Minister's secretaries, assistants and advisers all work in the Prime Minister's residence.

The Prime Minister formulates policies with his cabinet and think tanks at No. 10 Downing Street every day, and the general confidential departments, such as the Parliament, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, are only a few minutes away from No. 10 Downing Street, so the Prime Minister can easily obtain Intelligence and connections.

Of course, in theory, Buckingham Palace, where the Queen lives, is also nearby, so that the Prime Minister can go to Buckingham Palace regularly to report political affairs to the Queen.

However, due to the increasingly serious photochemical smog pollution in the city of London, Her Majesty has moved to live in the country again after recovering from the trauma of the stock market disaster.

At this moment, the old Churchill hoped that Her Majesty Victoria was in London, inside Buckingham Palace.

At least in this way, I won't be the focus of those rumors.

Time back to half a month ago.

News of the bombing of Calcutta, known in history as the "Sanitary Operation", had just spread back to the UK. Old Churchill, as the owner of No. 10 Downing Street, had to attend a regular government press conference held in the press conference hall of the prime minister's official residence.

This kind of press conference is usually attended by the spokesperson of the prime minister's official residence. Only when there is a major change, the prime minister himself will come forward.

Old Churchill, with the help of his staff and civil servant Haji, prepared a lengthy response to Prince Arthur's unfortunate capture by the Ming people.

However, the development of the situation completely deviated from the direction expected by old Churchill and Haji.

At first, the questions from the reporter from The Times were relatively normal.

Mostly it is about the latest economic policy of the empire, the development of wars in continental Europe and so on.

The old Churchill circled around with ease, and finally concluded: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are on the right path. Even if the process is a bit tortuous, we will win the war with the German hillbillies!"

Reporters from the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail whispered to each other.

"What do you think the Prime Minister's words mean?"

"Who knows? My guess is that the frontline troops are getting thinned again. The German tanks are not easy to deal with."

……

"You guys, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, we're talking about the Prime Minister's opinion."

The reporters who were whispering were all unwilling to talk to the guy who interrupted at the end.

Because he is not from London, but a reporter from the Manchester Guardian.

Since the first cotton mill using the Jenny spinning machine was born in Manchester in the 18s, this originally unknown city has quickly become the most important cotton and woolen textile production city in the UK and even the world. cotton are.

The rise of Manchester's textile industry gave Manchester capitalists and factory owners the power to have an equal dialogue with the Tianlong people in the City of London.

However, just as all old money looks down on new upstarts, no matter how rich Manchester people are, Londoners always look down on Manchester people.

What's more, in the field of cotton textiles, Manchester people are losing overseas markets by a thousand miles.

With incredible efficiency, Ming people attacked Manchester in terms of price and quality.

Therefore, the cotton mill owners in Manchester are exactly the ones who "resist trade globalization", "resist free trade", "resist Ming manufacturing", and advocate "Ming conducts unfair trade, we must punish them" and other remarks The most important pusher.

Seeing that his counterparts in London didn't want to see him, the reporter of "Manchester Guardian" snorted coldly, "You'd better not be surprised by the exclusive news from our "Manchester Guardian" for a while, of course, it's useless for you to be surprised, because we have already Put the news on the headlines of the front page, and print and publish it in advance!"

Timeliness is always the life of newspapers.

Even in a sense, timeliness is more important than authenticity and reliability.

If the power of the media is left unchecked, timeliness will undoubtedly overwhelm authenticity in the end, and bad money will drive out good money.

However, everyone is a reporter, and everyone runs very fast. It is too difficult to get important news that is one step ahead.

Seeing the mysterious appearance of the reporter of "Manchester Guardian", the reporters of "Daily Telegraph" and "Daily Mail" burst out laughing:

"Are you trying to talk about Prince Arthur? Do you think we haven't put it on the front page?"

"Ask Bran Registrant to ask."

Just then, the voice of the host of the press conference came.

The "Daily Telegraph" reporter shook his head and whispered, "Okay, boy from Manchester, I am the first person to ask the Prime Minister about Prince Arthur."

With that said, he stood up and asked confidently:

"Dear Mr. Prime Minister, I am Brandon, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Telegraph. His Royal Highness Arthur, a member of the royal family who went to Kolkata Freeport, India, to attend the commemorative ceremony of His Majesty Victoria's coronation of the Queen of India, was on June 6th in the Ming Dynasty. His whereabouts were unknown during the air raid. It was recently reported that His Royal Highness was arrested by the Ming army and placed under house arrest in Yangon, Myanmar.

What is your comment on this? Does the imperial government have a plan to redeem His Royal Highness Arthur, or learn from the Ming people's "Pineapple Pizza Operation" and use the Royal Air Force to carry out strikes and rescues in Yangon to rescue His Royal Highness? "

Old Churchill's mouth twitched.

Haji was right. Sure enough, some journalists with cow dung in their heads would whimsically ask the empire to carry out actions similar to Zhu Fugui's rescue of Abdul.

This is putting yourself on fire!

Not to mention the Royal Air Force of the British Empire's raid on Yangon, whether it can fly out of the Mediterranean Sea safely is a big problem.

The r-1 airship that flew to Constantinople at the beginning actually took off from the military base in Austria, and its real combat radius was only a few hundred kilometers.

If you want to use it to fight against the air power of the Ming Dynasty, it is like sitting on a crystal with bare buttocks, hitting a stone with an egg!

Of course, this question cannot be answered in this way.

Old Churchill motioned the questioner to sit down, then cleared his throat, and said:

"Thanks to this reporter friend for your question.

First of all, as the Prime Minister of the British Empire, I must condemn in the strongest terms the Ming Dynasty's despicable and shameless sneak attack while our country was holding a large-scale celebration.

Here, I must emphasize that our British Empire, both in India and in North America, has the ability and determination to give Ming an effective response.

At present, we still have 74 Indian divisions in India, including security teams, inspection teams, and police forces, and 9 British divisions, with a total of 300 million troops.

The total number of Ming troops stationed in Myanmar and Assam is about 29.

300 vs. 29, the advantage is mine!

Secondly, our troops stationed in Persia can rush to help India at any time, forming a double-sided situation against the Tatars in the Indo-West region..."

"But Mr. Prime Minister, what about Zuo Zongtang in the northeast of Persia? He is a cunning old fox..."

"Please abide by the rules of the press conference!"

The host promptly asked the "Daily Mail" reporter to sit back in his seat.

The old Churchill also pretended not to hear the difficult question, and continued.

"Now let's talk about the unfortunate experience of Prince Arthur.

First of all, we can confirm that the reckless dictator of the Ming Dynasty, that shameless person whose name I don't even want to mention, once again trampled on the bottom line of the war and brazenly detained our youngest and promising Prince Arthur.

Last night, I had a phone conversation with Her Majesty the Queen. During the phone call, the Queen choked up several times.

But she never said a single word of compromise to Mingren!

As for the "Pineapple Pizza" operation of the Ming Dynasty that you mentioned, I can only say that it was a complete and complete failure of the campaign and had no strategic value at all.

Only a dictator like that unmentionable Ming tyrant would spend taxpayers' money on such pointless things.

Our British Empire is a beacon of human democracy and a model of parliamentary politics in the world, and it is absolutely impossible for us to undertake such a profitless military adventure..."

The old Churchill spit all over the place, belittling Zhu Fugui's action of rescuing Abdul as worthless.

This made Haji, who was listening in the audience, cover his forehead.

This passage was added by Old Churchill himself.

Although the meaning is so, it can't be said like that!

Yesterday I clearly told him, and answered the reporter directly: "We will provide all necessary, feasible, logical actions other than military intervention and financial bribery, and do not violate the interests of the empire and the will of the voters to actively rescue Prince Arthur... "That's all right...

To be honest, Haji also felt that Zhu Fugui had spent so much internal money to save a deposed Sudan.

The British Empire has always been careful in doing things.

In 1783, the British felt that there was no benefit in continuing to consume thirteen states in North America, so they acquiesced in the independence of the United States.

In 1861, the British felt that it would be too costly to directly send troops to help the southern government, so they gave up directly sending troops to intervene in the American Civil War.

In 1863, the Ming Dynasty declared war on the Japanese shogunate, and the British once again chose to sit on the sidelines.

In 1865, the French Emperor Napoleon III invited the British to invade Mexico together, but the British finally only sent a warship and a military observation team to the front line...

It can be said that Ming Dynasty rose little by little with the continuous careful planning and appeasement of the British.

In history, the United Kingdom also had countless opportunities to cut off the rise of the United States, but in the end they were perfectly missed time and time again.

It can be said that although the British Empire is a global empire, the vision of their elites will never exceed the European continent, and will never exceed the next fifteen or twenty years.

There is no such thing as a century-old plan.

Similarly, they couldn't understand why Zhu Fugui had to save his useless former allies.

Although old Churchill's words were so straightforward that Haji shook his head again and again, the reporters didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and they all wrote down quickly with their pens.

Of course, they actually hope to be able to interview the queen herself.

After all, the prince was captured by the Ming people. If he could interview the queen, or even take a picture of two crying queens, then his newspaper would definitely be out of stock.

However, interviewing the Queen is not as easy as interviewing the Prime Minister.

They can only settle for the next best thing.

The reporter of the "Daily Mail" glanced at the reporter of the "Manchester Guardian" provocatively, as if to say: "Look, country bumpkin, the most important question is to arrange for our London newspaper to ask questions, you Manchester beggars , it is only worthy to ask whether there will be a new wool market opened next year."

Sure enough, it was not until the last 5 minutes of the press conference when the host of the conference announced that there was one last chance to ask questions, that he gave the opportunity to ask questions symbolically to the "Manchester Guardian".
