Chapter 368 Interlude

Before Ernst went to Trieste, Ernst had to deal with many things and bid farewell to many people, including Prince Karl of Sigmaringen, Prince Leopold, the Prussian royal family, the Württemberg royal family... so also It's not that you can leave as soon as you can, and you have to finish these things.

…

half year ago.

Far East, Japan.

"Mr. Harano Morishita, your monkeys are really unique, and they look very short among monkeys. This is very consistent with the theory of evolution described by Darwin. Can monkeys who like to soak in hot springs be cultivated in the environment of the Japanese island? I want to know. "

"Uh, Rosens-San, is Darwin?"

"A European biologist."

"Yosie, scientist?"

"Yes, and he is a great British biologist who is very authoritative in academia. I used to be very unconvinced about Darwin, but when I arrived in Japan, I found that Darwin was right. I couldn't find anything like it in other countries. Japanese monkeys like to soak in hot springs like this."

Why does it feel like a curse! However, when Yuan Ye Mori heard that Darwin was British, he immediately turned into a dog and said, "Rosens-san, your country of Great Britain is really the greatest country in the world."

Although Rosens's so-called "London accent" has a German flavor, Harano Morishita, who speaks Japanese English, can't hear it at all.

Rosens laughed loudly and said: "Where, where, although we British have made a little achievement in culture, we are still incomparable with countries such as Germany, France and Russia. You know that the UK has become the hegemony of the world. what!"

Yanno Morishita was quite curious, so he asked, "Please give me your advice."

"There is nothing else but mastering the ocean. Anyone who is familiar with history knows that every world hegemony in the past few hundred years has been accomplished by mastering the ocean. Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands are all like this."

"Yoshi, Rosens-san, what you said is very correct, we in Japan should also learn a lot from Britain!" Harano Morishita said, but what he thought in his heart was "Build more large warships, and maybe we can replace them in the future."

Rosens: "Yes, there is a point in learning culture. We in the UK rely on barbaric means to succeed. The French who are romantic and famous for their literature can only be manipulated by the UK, wasting a great opportunity. Therefore, all workers who dare to make trouble and oppose the country's major policies should be dealt with comprehensively, so as not to let them cause a huge waste of social resources."

As a big landowner, Harano Morishita agrees: "Yes, I feel the same way. Recently, the farmers in the Japanese countryside are too unreasonable. They can't understand the government's difficulties. Now the country as a whole is in trouble, and even I am shrinking. The food has been changed to three dishes and one soup a day, and they still want to rebel. They are even worse than uncivilized monkeys. We should resolutely fight against this kind of waste. Only when Japan becomes prosperous and strong can we have a bright future."

Rosens: "Okay, let's not talk about this, Mr. Harano Morishita, can you find some Japanese for me, preferably both men and women, I want to show the world the customs of Japan."

"Of course there is no problem!" Harano Morishita listened to Rosens' request, and agreed with all his heart. This Rosens is a British reporter. This time he came to Hokkaido to promote Japan, and he wanted to give Japan a good face.

After a while, I don't know where Yuanye Morishita found the strange flower. The general height is between 1.3 and 1.5 meters. But looking at Yuanye Morishita who is only 1.63 meters, Rosens instantly feels reasonable.

"Mr. Harano Morishita, can you catch a monkey and shake hands with it, I hope you will be more kind, so as to show the theme of Japanese people living in harmony with nature."

"Yo Xi, of course there is no problem! Rosens-san." Harano Morishita said very excitedly, this is to show himself the excellent character of the Japanese!

Soon, with the efforts of the servants, a female monkey was found, and it was caught in front of Yuanye Morishita. According to Rosens' command, Yuanye Morishita stood in front of the hot spring, grabbed the female monkey's paw, and made a gesture of shaking hands. Not to mention that the female monkey should be half a meter tall, and it is not awkward to stand next to Yuanno Morishita, especially against the backdrop of the four Japanese who are shorter than Yuanno Morishita.

"Mr. Harano Morishita, don't keep a straight face, but smile."

Harano Morishita was deeply influenced by Bushido, and he usually kept a straight face. Only when talking to the "Britishman" Rosens, he showed a polite smile that was uglier than crying.

Yuan Ye Morishita lived up to expectations, his smile is not ugly and can be described, perhaps it is more appropriate to use shocking, weeping ghosts and gods.

"Very good, just keep this expression." Rosens, who had expected it long ago, said with satisfaction: "Wait a minute, I'm going to shoot, don't make any changes."

With the sound of "click", under the exposure, Yuanye Morishita's expression was clearly photographed, but the female monkey grinned for no reason, and was also photographed.

"Well, Mr. Harano Morishita, you are indeed a photogenic person. I think the citizens of London will like your amiable image of a samurai very much."

"Yosie, Rosens-san, thank you so much for traveling so far to Japan to promote Japan's international image."

"Where, where, Mr. Harano Morishita, you are polite, this is what I should do, long live the friendship between Britain and Japan!"

"That's right! Rosens-san, but can you lend me that thing called a camera!"

"I'm afraid this won't work, Mr. Harano Morishita, this instrument belongs to the company, and it cannot be loaned out according to the regulations. It is very precious."

"Then the photo you said!"

Rosens said with a regretful expression: "I can't watch it now, and I can only wash it out when I return to London."

Harano Morishita felt a little sorry for not being able to see his own photo, but he asked again: "Rosens-san, which one is your newspaper? A friend of mine is going to the UK for a while soon. Bring me a copy."

Rosens said with a strange expression: "No problem, our newspaper is still very influential in the UK. Remember the "Sun", it can be bought in every city in the UK."

"Yo Xi, thank you."

"The Sun" is a newspaper invested by Hechingen Bank. At the beginning of its implementation in London, it was unanimously condemned by the British society, because this newspaper had a serious conflict with the British conservative social atmosphere. Far away, so the "Sun" took the sidelines again.

Although the whistleblowers had no way to grasp the weaknesses of The Sun, people from all walks of life in the UK still boycotted the Sun with righteous words, so the Sun ranked first in sales in the UK that year.

May 8, 1871.

The new issue of "The Sun" is published, on the streets of London.

"Sir! Do you want a copy of The Times? Or the Guardian." The newsboy looked at the old gentleman in front of him and said, according to his judgment, this kind of old gentleman likes to talk about state affairs the most.

"Give me a copy of the latest "The Sun", thank you." The old gentleman said in a low voice as much as possible. After all, it is not good to be heard by acquaintances on the street.

"Well, well, sir." The little newsboy handed today's "The Sun" to the old gentleman.

The old gentleman looked around and found that no one noticed. He took the newspaper neatly, folded it, put it in his clothes, and took it home to enjoy.

Go home.

He closed the door tightly, lay down on the sofa, took out the newspaper he bought and said, "Let me criticize... well, this leg... the world is going down!"

Soon the old gentleman, who was physically and mentally happy, slowly turned over to watch today's news.

The Versailles army began to shell the fortifications of the city of Paris. "If you fight well, let these Frenchmen kill each other."

Soon, he noticed a picture appeared under the newspaper, with the text that Japan loves the custom of soaking in hot springs, which may have originated from Japanese macaques. Darwin may be the biggest winner. What the hell? The old gentleman looked so scary, and the old gentleman spat at Haruno Morishita in the photo, but he was not surprised that the writing style of "The Sun" was always so unscrupulous.

A few months later, Nono Morishita, who was cast aside by countless London citizens, also received the "Sun" sent back from London by a friend. When he learned that "The Sun" was a colored newspaper, Nono Morishita turned green with anger.

"Pull a tooth..."

A few years later, the story of Yuan Ye Morishita was spread by strict-spoken friends. Yuan Ye Morishita died in depression. Before he died, he said to his grandson: "In the future... we must kill more British people..."
