Imagine the world

Chapter 349 Translation
When all pride was gone, the only thing left for Berkeley was manners, and he always thought he was a man of manners.

But hearing Charles say that today's meeting has been completely recorded, as a historical document, it will be available for people to consult and watch in the future, Berkeley no longer cared about the final demeanor.

He couldn't imagine such a scene!In the future, someone will watch his meeting with Charles today in this cultural and historical museum transformed from the presidential palace, or in other places in Jili Kingdom or even the whole world, just like he watched the propaganda documentary just now, and taste the Every word, every expression.

He knows exactly how he behaved today, and how humiliating is this to him?
Berkeley stood up and knocked the chair behind him to the ground with a loud noise, but he didn't bother to help him, he took two quick steps and supported the table with one hand, his eyes were red, and his voice hoarsely directed at Xia Er growled: "You can kill me, or even take away everything from me, but you can't humiliate me like this! This is a private conversation, it involves human dignity!"

Charles also stood up, supported the table with both hands, lowered his head slightly, stared at Berkeley with a pair of big scary eyes, and said: "There is no personal relationship between us, and this is not a conversation between you and me. business.

Why did I come to see you?Because you wrote that letter to me, as the former president of Jili State, you invited me, the new leader, to discuss the future of this country.

Do you still think that this is a private conversation, just between you and me?Is it your personal problem that we have been discussing today?

I know your kind of person, I know what you're thinking, you think you've lost your dignity.But what you call the dignity you think you have, has it really existed?It's not that I made you lose it, it's that you never really had it!

Since walking into this room, I have only stated the facts and the truth, and if this offends you, then there is no need to say sorry, because it is entirely your responsibility..."

Whether or not the aura exists has always been a question of metaphysics, or to put it mildly, a question of psychology.But at this moment, any bystanders would feel that Charles's aura was in full swing, and even stared back at Berkeley.

Berkeley's hand left the edge of the table, subconsciously retreating step by step.He backed very carefully, kicked the chair with his heel and did not trip over, squatted down and helped the chair up again, and then sat back to the original position.

Charles just kept staring at him, and then said: "Do you know why I did this? Wait until a certain day in the future, maybe you and I will not be here, maybe we will still be here, but some people have forgotten what happened today.

Maybe they didn't really forget, they just deliberately confused the truth.They will call on you and people like you, and they will stand up and remake the story just to promote and praise you.

Just like the letter you wrote to me last week, someone will exaggerate how charismatic you are, what kind of demeanor and dignity you have maintained!

They will say, what a great president you are, how clean and upright you are, and everything you do is dedicated to benefiting this country.

They will lament your misfortune today and will attack me and people like me and declare what misfortune we have caused you.

There are so many gangsters in this country, so many officials you have appointed, and so many teachers and students at Jili University, how many good people are there, right?A good man who is enlightened and upright in their eyes!

So they still say, what kind of injustice has such a good person suffered?Because of the liberation of the new alliance, what kind of disaster and blow has it brought to these good people?

They will think that it is I and we who have brought disaster to you and to you.They will miss you and the era you ruled, and even want to restore that era, just because they want to be like you!
But I know very well what kind of suffering we have experienced.An old Mr. Mo once told me that pure suffering is meaningless, it is just suffering, and what we are doing today is to make the experience of suffering meaningful!
In the documentary I just showed you, Morrison's plantation was mentioned.And you remember the diplomatic note, Morrison's complaint.He complained about the loss he suffered, but ignored the crime he committed.

Today you are another Morrison, and I am Aden and Cuihua.

You are not familiar with these two names, nor do you know these two people?Because the duration of the documentary just now is too short, there is still a lot of content that cannot be introduced.

On Morrison's plantation last year, we rescued 97 slave laborers, one of whom was named Aden.He stayed in the plantation for three years, always looking forward to the hope of being rescued, and thought of various ways to save himself, but he did not give up even after his arm was broken and he was left disabled.

Isn't this tough quality noble?In my eyes, he has more dignity than you.

Aden disappeared four years ago when a local gangster recruited workers. In order to make a living and support his family, he got on a truck and was taken to Morrison's plantation. He has been missing since then.

The time when Aden was taken away happened to be the day when you returned to the country of Jili from Yin, and half a year later you became the president of the country of Jili.

Yading's wife is Cuihua. They have three children. After Yading disappeared, the youngest child died.Cuihua never believed that Aden left without saying goodbye... until the new alliance liberated Fiso Port, she finally waited for the rescued Aden.

Both Aden and Cuihua later joined the New Alliance, and their stories were also compiled into a stage play by the New Alliance, which was performed in various liberated areas under the name "Aden and Cuihua".

Mr. President, who should maintain the dignity of Aden and Cuihua, you or Morrison?No no no, you are the ones who ignore and deprive them of their dignity!

Cuihua is now the women's director of the Xinlian Jinsha Community, while Aden has signed up for the New Alliance Liberation Army, strongly demanding to go to the front line.

However, his left arm is disabled. Although we hired the most skilled healers, he was not completely cured. Therefore, he is not a combatant. He works as a civilian staff officer in the army and also serves as a translator.

He had learned Yin language before. During the three years in the plantation, he insisted on communicating with other slave laborers, always looking for opportunities to escape, and learning all kinds of skills he could learn. Mandarin..."

Hearing this, Berkeley was startled suddenly. He felt his right arm and half of his body go numb. There seemed to be an invisible tingling sensation, as if a lot of needle points had been pierced in... because he felt another person's gaze.

There was another person sitting in the room, right next to the two of them, translating Shire's Dongguo language into Yin language in the most straightforward way.

Berkeley ignored the interpreter just now, and didn't even look at this person very directly, but he still had the impression that there seemed to be something wrong with the interpreter's left arm, which had been curled up unnaturally around his waist and abdomen since he entered the door.

Berkeley has already realized that the translator that Charles brought today is Aden!He turned his head and looked over, meeting the translator's eyes...

Hearing what Charles said just now, there were tears in Aden's eyes, but the tears did not flow down. He just narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Berkeley, with clear crow's feet in the corners of his eyes.

Berkeley couldn't describe what kind of eyes and what kind of expression these were.
Yading suffered nearly three years of inhuman torture in the Morrison plantation, leaving him permanently disabled, but he remained awake and worked hard to live, without numbness or giving up, and even learned Dongguo.

His eyes at this moment are firm and deep, without any dodging!In fact, he also restrained all expressions.

But Berkeley felt a sneer in his eyes, as if he heard the sneer echoing in his soul, and the unbearable tingling seemed to be everywhere.

Berkeley just looked at Aden for a moment, then quickly looked away.But with just this one glance, the soul seemed to have been burned, and the strength of the whole body was inexplicably lost.

He broke out in a cold sweat, and suddenly realized that the conversation tonight had been going on for a long time, and he felt a strong sense of urgency to urinate, but he could only hold back.

At this time, Aden spoke, his voice and tone were very steady and calm, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear an imperceptible trill.Although he had been talking all night, interpreting for Shire, he finally spoke his own words.

"My surname is Xia, and my name is Xia Yading."

This was the first and last sentence he said tonight, and he just told Berkeley his name.

However, what Berkeley didn't understand was that this name was actually an Dongguo language name, which was given when the new alliance was doing resident registration. As for the surname, he chose it himself because Shire's surname was Xia.

After saying this, he stood up and walked out of the reception room with Charles.

Charles had been standing just now, and when Aden finished speaking, he turned and walked out without any unnecessary greetings when saying goodbye.

The two left, and another staff member came in and said to Berkeley: "You can go to the bathroom first, and then I invite you to watch another video learning material, which is a stage play called "Aden and Cuihua." "."

Berkeley didn't go to the bathroom. The glance he had with Aden just now made him feel like he couldn't stand up on his legs. He finished watching while holding back his urine.

The total duration of this "movie" is 10 minutes. The first 25 minutes are a stage play recorded by the New Alliance, which was performed at mass gatherings across the country.

As for the last 5 minutes, it is a simple documentary, which tells and records the crimes at Morrison Plantation, and introduces Aden and Cuihua in reality...

The meeting between Charles and Berkeley ended in this way.Charles said that the whole process of this conversation will be recorded truthfully for those who come later to inquire and watch.

The first batch of "latecomers" did not wait long. The next afternoon, accompanied by Hua Zhenxing and others, Yue Gaole watched the complete record of the meeting in the conference room of Wago Mining.

The video was shot from the side of Charles and Berkeley, and from the camera position opposite Aden, with one shot to the end.

Berkeley apparently didn't notice that the camera was filming, although it was easy to spot.Obviously, there was good radio equipment at the meeting site, and everyone's words were clearly recorded.

After everyone finished watching, the sky outside the window completely darkened, and it was past dinner time.
