Pierre is an alternative character in Xiao Letian's staff. Since he is a European and a Frenchman who is very unfriendly to Ryukyu, he does not have many friends in this group.
But since Pierre is already the number one person on France's most wanted list, he has been abandoned by his motherland and has nowhere to go except Ryukyu, which guarantees his loyalty.
The reason is simple. Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan are native Chinese in their hometown. They are loyal to Xiao Letian, but at the same time, they also have a group of subordinates who are loyal to them.
If these people are intent on causing trouble, although the possibility is very low, if this happens, these executives will immediately rally a team loyal to them.
In comparison, Pierre's loyalty is higher than theirs. This is not a joke but a fact. Just like the civil servants and generals all over the world love to scold eunuchs, the reputation of eunuchs has been extremely bad in history.
But throughout history, we have never seen eunuchs rebel, because eunuchs are a group of people isolated from society, and they can only survive by relying on the imperial power.
It is a bit inappropriate to compare Pierre to a eunuch, but the principle is the same, because now Pierre cannot guarantee his own safety in the Western world, and those countries that have the ability to oppose France may not necessarily spend a lot of resources to protect him. He, and the countries that want to protect him, may not have the ability.
Therefore, following Xiao Letian is an inevitable choice. Xiao Letian also realized this and gave Pierre an arduous task from the beginning to debug the core top-secret plan.
Pierre coughed lightly, "Your Majesty Prime Minister... I think everyone has fallen into... an irrational state mixed with their own emotions over the recent series of conflicts in the Tanggu Special Administrative Region!"
"To use an old Chinese proverb...it means that those who are in power are blind to the beholder, right? I find that everyone has been completely blinded by emotion. Your love for the country and the nation makes you unable to see clearly through this fog!"
Xiao Letian's eyes lit up and he extended his hand in an inviting gesture, "Stones from other mountains can attack jade, and you can speak freely!"
"Okay!" Pierre drank a glass of wine and calmed himself down. "What the Special Administrative Region is facing now is a cultural conflict. There is an irreconcilable contradiction between new ideas and old concepts... But the contradiction is really irreconcilable. Reconciled?"
"There are a few key points. Why are you selectively ignoring them? This time the Prime Minister's new policies include dual nationality, braid cutting and foot relaxation... Not everyone is against it? Aren't 20% of technicians choosing to do so? Do you accept it? Why don’t you carefully analyze these people who accept it..."
"I checked the information of these technicians and found that 90% of these two adults were locals from the original Tanggu Special Administrative Region. Although these people complained, in the end they found that the prime minister's attitude was very tough, and they could only accept it..."
"Accepting the dual nationality of Ryukyu and Qing Dynasty, bravely cutting off braids, girls letting go and even showing off to work... all this was simply unimaginable before!"
Pierre shrugged, "Why is this? Are these people in Tanggu any different from the refugees outside the Willow Wall? In fact, they are exactly the same, except that the people inside the Willow Wall have three more years of experience than the refugees outside. That’s it!”
Everyone present sat up involuntarily, and Pierre smiled with the common French sense of humor. "Have you forgotten? The Tanggu Special Zone was established in 1865, and this year is 1868. It was only three years ago. It also experienced three important wars..."
"The first time was when Lotte Yang Company just opened. At that time, we even had trouble acquiring land. People in Tanggu actually said that the machines in the factory were driven by imps, and the special zone also had to capture babies to refine imps... Hahaha! It’s so ridiculous! Moreover, Huang Juren directly instigated underworld groups and corrupt officials to attack us..."
Everyone present couldn't help but laugh when recalling those funny stories from back then. Tietoutuo's pretense, the flu after the heavy snowfall, and now a super-large temple in the Special Administrative Region has almost become a landmark building.
"The Second Tanggu War was instigated by the ancestors of the Forbidden City and Jiao Si'er and others. At that time, the New Army landed in Ryukyu, attacked Mailer Camp at night, and finally won the right of our New Army to garrison in the Special Administrative Region. At that time, the people of Tanggu had already chosen neutrality and no longer worked for the Manchus!"
"The Third Tanggu War happened when the Prime Minister was on his way back to China. Molière spread rumors that the Prime Minister was dead, which made the Manchus make wrong decisions. Mailer led the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion to besiege the Special Administrative Region, and even us The French fleet conducted a blockade and bombardment at sea..."
"The result of the Third Tanggu War was that the New Army conquered the city of Beijing and carried out military exercises in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Then the Prime Minister got a position as the Imperial Guard. By the way, the Tanggu Special Zone expanded a hundred times and now covers more than 900 square kilometers. soil of……"
"Three years! Three wars! By the time of the third war, the green soldiers of the Dagukou Fort will mutiny and surrender, and the people of Tanggu are all eagerly looking forward to the victory of the new army... Don't you notice any changes here? ?”
Xiao Letian smiled. He finally found the point he had just forgotten. At this time, he relaxed and started to add ice cubes and spirits to everyone with a silver clip.
Pierre said very seriously, "Three years and three wars have caused earth-shaking changes in the hearts of the people in the entire Tanggu area. To this day, they can actually cut off their braids and put on their feet, and even accept Ryukyu nationality. Isn't this all the work of the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister?" Is this the result of your efforts, sir?”
"Why do you look at things so pessimistically? I think there is only one explanation. Today your hearts are all in chaos... Why are you in chaos? Because you love this country and this nation too much, and caring about it makes you chaos! Isn't it... …”
Xiao Letian took a sip of the cold wine and said, "Not only that! We were still disturbed by the Dakar incident. Because we were afraid that Britain and France would join forces to suppress Ryukyu in advance, we were afraid that the original rhythm would be disrupted by the sudden war. destroy……"
"More importantly... we have to admit that in today's world, every nation can feel the fear of the empire on which the sun never sets! I, Xiao Letian, am not a saint, and neither are you. Of course we have it too The heart of fear...that behemoth is really terrifying!"
Pierre straightened his clothes and said seriously to the Prime Minister, "Because of this, I suggest that the Prime Minister decrypt some of your top secret strategic plans at a high level... As you said, people's hearts must be stabilized!"
"Top secret strategic plan?" Everyone present, including Wang Huaiyuan, was moved because this was a secret plan that even they had never heard of.
Note: What do you think? Will there be three updates today?
