Chapter 308 Infiltration
London, England.
In a snack shop on the corner of a wealthy area in London, a handsome man dressed as a British gentleman came to the shop called "Indian Snacks".
As soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of many people. He has a high nose bridge, low eye sockets, thick golden hair, and deep eyes, which is somewhat inconsistent with the current style of British young people.
Although his face looks very childish, probably about seventeen or eighteen years old, his every move imitates the behavior of old British gentlemen, which is standard and elegant.
This made some of the ladies dining here call it a pity. A very handsome man looked old-fashioned in every move, as if he saw his old father suddenly appearing in front of him, which severely wiped out the love brains who wanted to " The idea of a sweet love.
The young man ignored the looks of all the ladies and walked straight towards the counter. The crutch in his hand struck the wooden floor with a powerful and rhythmic sound.
He politely asked the waiter: "Sir! Do you sell star-gazing pies here?"
The waiter is not too old and looks like a little butter boy. He claims to be from Indian region, but an Oriental His face showed that he was lying, but the diners didn't care. On the one hand, the people who came here to eat came because the "Indian" food here was very "authentic", especially the "Ecstasy Crispy Balls", which are the most popular, topped with cheese and Cream and honey are all good to British people.
On the one hand, this "Indian" restaurant is very unique. It is said that most of the ingredients come from India, especially various secret spices, which are rich in flavor, and there is also Ganges water specially transported from the Ganges River in India to London. According to the waiter at the restaurant, Ganges water is equivalent to holy water in India. It can wash the soul and help British people ascend to heaven after death. There is no derogatory meaning. For British Puritans, they deserve such blessings because they are so pious. Report.
In the end, most of the people who came here to dine were young talents from wealthy areas, especially young ladies from wealthy families. Compared with the greasy British chefs, the waiters in this restaurant are generally more handsome, and most of the service staff are from the east or west. Kong's handsome young boy is novel and eye-catching.
“I’m sorry, we are an Indian restaurant here.”
“That’s such a pity, there is no more curry chicken?”
“You have curry chicken? Sweet or salty?"
"I want something clean and hygienic."
The two of them talked one after another at the counter, and a small note was stuffed into the young gentleman's pocket.
“Enjoy your meal!”
“Thank you!”
……
Evening, 214 Thames Street, London.
The man who appeared in the restaurant during the day was talking to another man, the owner of "Indian Snacks".
"Mr. Charles, this is a summary of the content of the English Parliament in December this year. It mainly focuses on the Franco-Prussian and Italian-Austrian wars. In addition, Ireland is a matter of greater concern to half of the UK, but after all, Ireland There is no independence, so it can only be regarded as an internal matter of the United Kingdom." The snack bar owner handed over a thick stack of documents.
He continued: "In this year's internal meeting of the British government, regarding the focus of colonial work, South America is still the top priority, and the Suez Canal has also been mentioned. Otherwise, there is almost no major attention to Africa. ." Known as "Richard" The man asked: "Is the source reliable?"
"We bribed a member of Parliament from the Abergavenny region of England. He has a close personal relationship with the current minister, so Very clear about British internal affairs ”
"You didn't show any flaws, did you?"
"Don't worry, we hired a Frenchman to work for us in the name of an American businessman. Our man lied that he was to develop the British market, so he was I am more interested in the government's policies."
"The French?"
"We have never regarded him as one of our own, so we have always maintained a single line of communication, and he does not know about us. True identity."
"We still have to be careful to arouse his suspicion. After all, he is a Frenchman in the UK. It would be bad if he has the brain to betray us."
"Haha, no, we know his situation very well. He was brought here from France by his father when he was young. His father married an English stepmother, but soon his father died suddenly for unknown reasons. The stepmother He teamed up with another man to annex the family property, and he was kicked out of the house by the two of them. Later he became "Oliver Twist". He has been among gangsters since he was a child, so he hates the British extremely. Later, under our cover, he disguised himself as an upstart in the United States, specialized in communicating with dignitaries, and stole British government intelligence. Now he cannot escape this luxurious life. Once he leaves us, he will end up on the streets again. "
"Well, that's good, but you have to be careful in everything. After all, you are not one of your own, so you should be careful when you should be careful." said the man named "Richard".
Then, he sat on the sofa and began to flip through the information. The entire living room fell into silence, with only the second hand ticking on the clock dial.
Looking at it, it was already late at night, and "Richard" finally put down the information in his hand.
He brought a brazier as if no one was there, threw the information into it, then found a candle and lit it, and the room was instantly illuminated. It was winter in London, so the fire added some warmth to the cold room.
"Richard" said: "Continue to pay close attention to the trends of the British government, and also pay attention to private newspapers and public opinions. If there are topics about the kingdom, report them in time."
"Well, don't worry, we Some of them have already infiltrated many small newspapers, and one has reached the position of editor-in-chief of The Times. If there is relevant content, we will get the source of the information as soon as possible."
"Very good, now. What the kingdom needs is an environment for stable development, so it is best not to attract the attention of other countries, especially the attention of people here. We cannot interfere at the government level at the moment, but we must grasp public opinion. Even if we spend more money, we cannot let London The workers in the slums know that there is an East African kingdom in the world. It is best to find more hot spots and describe Africa as horribly as possible. Let the citizens of London know that ghosts will not go to that shabby place in Africa. Focus on the horrors. Rumors of disease and the Black Death can be used. ”
The power of public opinion can be manipulated, especially in capitalist countries. As long as they are willing to spend money to set the pace, the East African government is also willing to spend more money to let people know. The British know that this part of Africa is not good, so you better not come here.
Although London citizens in the slums cannot directly participate in British national affairs, the workers' strike movement in recent years has forced the British government to make changes and grant the working class the right to vote in 1867.
In other words, public opinion will become more and more important in the future, related to the votes of the British Parliament, and this will make it easier for the East African government to infiltrate.
This is the case in a "free" country. Capital controls public opinion, and public opinion involves votes, which will eventually affect politics. Therefore, whoever has the most capital can run rampant in the large system of a "free" country. This is This is the reason why American capital in the previous life could find representatives of its own interests in all "capitalist" countries.
The current era version has not been updated to that extent. After all, it has not been tempered by opponents with different ideologies, which allows national capital like East Africa to run rampant in Britain, the United States and France, which can be regarded as taking advantage of the loopholes in the version. .
Of course, we must not ignore the power of workers and small citizens. They will still fight the British war, so they publicize the harsh climate environment in Africa and subconsciously tell these people not to be fooled by the British government in the future. Just go to Africa. Go to death, fight better than the natives, fight against diseases, and increase the strength of the British recruitment department in the future!
