Jie saw that his words had shocked the British, and he felt proud of himself! You think we don't understand you? Then aren't we wearing clothes for nothing?
"Don't be surprised! Do you think we don't know your background? Now, let's talk about the so-called civilization that you often talk about. When our ancestors were making the four great inventions, what were your ancestors doing? And while we were using these inventions to benefit all of humanity, what were you doing?
What was the purpose of the compass? It was used to better help people in the world go out smoothly without getting lost, to understand more about the unknown world, and to better carry out business activities! But what about you? What was he going to do with it? It was to use it to run all over the world to plunder! Plundering the wealth of other races in the world! Seize their land! To colonize them! It goes against the original intention of our ancestors 'invention!”
When the two Qing Dynasty men saw the foreigners listening to Jie's endless speech, they were all shocked and terrified. They were filled with admiration! Since when have we Easterners ever made these Westerners look like this? Jie saw that his words had shocked the British, so he thought about it and decided to be gentle.
"As long as you abide by our laws and regulations and trade fairly, we will definitely welcome you! And we will protect your lives and property!
Just like when we want to go to your place to do business, we naturally have to abide by your rules. These are the most basic communication standards! It was the foundation for communication between different worlds! To be more civilized, that was to ask the locals! It was respect! But if they came here to buy and sell drugs--things like opiates--that was absolutely forbidden! He would be beheaded!
In your country, this kind of trade is also not allowed. It's the same here. No matter when or where, as long as it's discovered, we won't let it go! Do you understand? When you understand this, we will no longer call you barbarians!
”
At this point, he suddenly realized that some of the British people were starting to look down on him. He suddenly realized that this was not the era of freedom! He couldn't even pull these people over! This was all the doing of those bastards from the Qing Dynasty! Why are you closing the door? That's why they're looking for an excuse to attack! He quickly changed the topic.
"Let's talk about the gunpowder invented by our country. What is it used for? That is to reduce the labor intensity of people and increase labor productivity…"
Ugh! Was there such a saying now? Be more careful in the future…
"This invention is to increase the speed of mining and road construction! Increase work efficiency! It was to increase the benefits of the workers! It was to improve their labor intensity! To improve their quality of life! It was used to increase the festive atmosphere during festivals!
But what about you? What did he do with it? Take it to kill, set fire, and deprive others of their right to live! It was to cause destruction! So you are scum against all mankind! In the end, they would be destroyed by all the righteous people! This is the end for you and all those who want to continue being bandits! "Moreover, everyone knows that the gunpowder you're using now is not powerful enough. That Nobel fellow over there…"
He suddenly realized that Nobel, the number one expert in modern explosives, should still be in his hometown. He was still a little kid! If he could be…then would Europe still be so ruthless? Hahaha, he stopped thinking about it and quickly changed the topic.
"Next, let's talk about the paper making technology invented by the people of China! Why did he make paper? Naturally, he wanted everyone to have the opportunity to learn more easily! Raising everyone's cultural level is also raising everyone's personal qualities and the overall cultural level of society! Then, we will work together to develop and protect our Earth's civilization!
Then, after learning knowledge, would one become a civilized person? " Just look at you, and you will know that the answer is no. You claim to be the messengers of civilization, and you can use the knowledge recorded on the paper we invented to find all kinds of reasons. Then, you go around robbing people, and treat the humility of others as weakness! This is the most shameless, uncivilized, and lacking in knowledge…"
Li Hailong listened to Jie's speech in English and was surprised. When did Jie learn such a good foreign language? How long has it been since he was discharged? It's really the so-called saying that a scholar should be looked at in a new light after three days of separation! How much more did he not know about this guy?
However, looking at those foreigners, many of them were already blushing. They knew that the situation was not bad. At least they had fooled these guys for a short period of time. Taking this opportunity, Li Hailong quickly hinted to Jie to stop while he was ahead!
Jie nodded.
"What I want to tell you now is that the people of China are a hospitable and peace-loving nation, but we are not a nation that can be bullied! We don't like butcher knives!
But that doesn't mean we won't use a butcher's knife! If friends came, there would be good wine. If wolves came, there would be shotguns! Please remember what I said here today, and please tell your country and government that the East will always be the East of our Chinese nation. Any other unfair methods to achieve unspeakable goals will eventually fail! Those who offend our Great Han will be killed even if they are far away!"
"Alright! Dismissed!"
Leaving behind the group of foreigners who were still lost in their own world, after arranging their lives, the group of people took the opportunity to slip out of the courtyard. When they returned to the dilapidated hall of the county government, everyone could not help but smile bitterly when they thought of the silly look they had just seen. What was going on? Inconsiderate? Had his thoughts not changed? It seemed like there were some of them…but they couldn't let these two Qing Dynasty people see it. Otherwise, how would they survive in the future? Hopefully, the two of them hadn't sensed this yet…
They quickly sent them out and arranged for two anti-smuggling members to go with them to check the materials belonging to the British army around the county government. Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief. It was still better to be on their own…
Considering that the militiamen on duty outside should have encountered the same problem, how would they answer if the locals asked where they came from? Although the transmigrators were all from China, none of them had a big braid. Moreover, no one could have kept a braid. Instead, they were here to cut it off! The people on the continent were very xenophobic! He might be more tolerant of foreigners than people without braids like them. What kind of world was this!
At the thought of this, they were a little dissatisfied with this Gong fellow. It was all this birdman's fault, and now they had to clean up his mess!
The few of them discussed it and felt that this was not a small matter. It was a major event that would determine their future survival and development! For such an important matter, they had to discuss a proper solution with Tokyo Island, and then all the transmigrators had to speak in unison! Otherwise, a single mistake would bring him great trouble!
Considering this, he had already informed the people on the island and the two boats that he couldn't reveal or confirm where they came from. Once he encountered such a problem, he would use diplomatic language to solve it."No comment!"
After that, the few of them rushed to the inspection boat. Zhao Liang, who was doing the so-called core work on the boat, was also called over to discuss with them, hoping to come up with a plan. However, no one came up with any more reasonable suggestions. First of all, no one had anything to say about overthrowing the declining feudal society of the Qing Dynasty.
However, what kind of society or government should be formed later was still a matter of opinion. No one was the only one. However, this was the key issue that affected what kind of name they would give. No one could convince anyone. It seemed that every society had its strengths and weaknesses. Before a better solution was found, these had obviously become the target of the other party!
However, the two highest-ranking officials on Tokyo Island were here. It could be said that as long as the two of them reached a consensus, they could basically decide the future direction of the island. But now, it was obvious that Li Hailong didn't want to give up his choice, or rather, he didn't dare to give up the interests of the fishermen he represented.
Therefore, Li Hailong didn't fully support Captain Wang's insistence on revolution. If that was the case, wouldn't the fishermen on Tokyo Island be the first to be eliminated? This was clearly unrealistic! However, he would not agree to the idea of using the surname Zi. However, he could not find a third way unless he came up with another model. There did not seem to be any ready-made reference at the moment…
The other participants in the meeting were not interested in the capitalists, but they were also worried about the revolution, so there was no definite conclusion.
In the end, everyone felt that there was no point in discussing it here. It was better to let the people of Tokyo solve it themselves! Right now, he should think about how to control Zhoushan.
After the decision was made, he immediately contacted the Tokyo Island base through the anti-smuggling boat and introduced the situation here to Tokyo Island. He also prioritized explaining his background as the first priority. At the same time, he requested that Tokyo Island be integrated as soon as possible. First, the island's population was temporarily settled and stabilized, and the self-defense force was increased. The materials were also controlled well. They also discussed the personnel and materials that would be sent over as reinforcements.
After everything was settled, the morning passed. Thankfully, after last night's shock, the people in the city had not recovered yet. Therefore, they looked calm on the surface. Several militiamen on duty near the city gate reported that those locals didn't even dare to leave their houses. They were just peeping outside through those windows. Although it was not a good thing, it was just a helpless stability under the current situation.
In the end, regardless of whether the locals came out or he took the initiative to visit, both parties had to make contact. Otherwise, what was the point of them coming over? Of course, everyone understood that this was only temporary. They could not be so passive. Without a preliminary plan and plan, they would definitely be destroyed in the end!
