Chapter 968 When the Empire's Dark War Is In Progress (First Update, Please Subscribe)
The British Empire is depressed!
At least in the past few years, the international influence of the British Empire has obviously fallen short.It's not just because the challenges come from all sides, what makes the British Empire even more depressing is its inability to face the challenges.

"When the Ming Empire occupied Brazil, all we could do was wait and see. When France, Russia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Daming carved up Turkey, we were still waiting and watching. Even in Africa, when Ming extended its claws to the Cape Town colony At that time, we are still waiting and watching..."

In Hyde Park in London, a middle-aged man in a short overcoat and a black hat was screaming loudly. His speech was nothing more than a core - the British Empire has reached the most dangerous moment.

For this, in the past few years, the British public opinion and political circles have already reached a consensus.In Hyde Park, some public opinion figures give speeches there every day, advocating that the Great British Empire should fight against external threats with all its strength.

When they give a speech, there will always be many ordinary people in shabby clothes standing around them. They will applaud each other's speeches and cheer for each other's speeches. A penny or two out of the purse was tipped to these speakers for arousing patriotism in the general public.

"We are living in a more dangerous time than at any time in history, and now France and their allies, although not as aggressive as Napoleon, but gentlemen, they have been a little bit more aggressive during the past ten years. Tighten the noose, and this noose has long been around the neck of the British Empire..."

The speeches coming from a distance seemed a bit noisy, but to the people who were playing chess in the corner of the park, it had no effect at all. When the sound of cursing came, the middle-aged man who was playing chess still frowned.

"What a bunch of idiots."

Lawrence, who was staring at the chessboard, cursed casually.

The old man who played chess with him asked puzzledly.

"what?"

"those people……"

Lawrence looked at the people in the distance and said.

"They don't even know that Mr. Cullens who is speaking has never been a patriot. All his remarks are just for his own good. Compared with the threats facing the British Empire, he is more concerned about today's Bread for the evening, and his speech was nothing more than coaxing a few pennies out of the pockets of another bunch of wretches."

The old man who was playing chess with Lawrence laughed.

"This is how the world operates, but you can't deny that it is the existence of those in Cullens that made many British people realize that the external threat of the empire is the most direct threat. Compared with external threats, what Things like bread and the 12-hour work are trivial, and it's clearly more beneficial to the British Empire."

Shrugging his shoulders noncommittally, Lawrence said.

"Colonel, I heard that Sadat is about to be executed?"

Sadat, the leader of the resistance forces in the French Middle East, and his army were defeated by French commandos a month ago, captured and sent to Paris for interrogation.

"This is inevitable. Since the "Jerusalem Incident", the attitude of the French towards those people has been extremely consistent—either convert and live as Christians, or die!"

Staring at the pieces on the chessboard, the colonel took out a cigarette case from his pocket and took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff.

"In the past few years, the large-scale resistance has long since disappeared. In order to destroy those people spiritually, the French and Russians destroyed all the local monasteries, and even the Kaaba of Makka was destroyed. The French destroyed with dynamite, the whole city was razed to the ground by them, and the "Saint Eugene's Cathedral" was built there, and since then, the whole world of Tianfang has sunk, after all, in the atrocities of absolute power Even a lunatic becomes a coward before him."

Lawrence did not refute the Colonel's point of view, but nodded in agreement.

"Yes, for barbarians, violence is the most effective form of communication. We can see many natives converting for wealth or survival, from Turkey to Medina, but we should also see Therefore, the local people are extremely dissatisfied with France, from Egypt to Yemen, from Yemen to Oman, from Oman to India, India to the Dutch East India, countless Tianfang believers have deep hostility towards the French.”

Of course, the colonel did not doubt Lawrence's statement, after all, it was a well-known fact.

"Tell me what you think."

"Colonel, maybe the French can use bayonets to force people to tame in their occupied areas, but outside their occupied areas, there are still many exiles, such as in Yemen, there are many exiles, I think we are completely By supporting them and using them to infiltrate into French-occupied areas, the French will continue to bleed..."

After a pause, Lawrence added.

"Now, France's oil fields in Mosul and other places can bring them more than 2000 million pounds in revenue every year, and France has obtained extremely rich returns from it. For France, the current Middle East is a fat that lays golden eggs. Goose, Colonel, it would be a crime against the British Empire if we allowed the French to continue to make their fortunes there, after all, the French gain enough wealth to build a fleet every year!"

After saying these words, Lawrence looked at the colonel full of expectation, expecting others to answer!

four years ago!
In the past four years, Lawrence has been left out intentionally or unintentionally. After he completed the work of "Jerusalem", he was left out in the cold.No rewards, no other indications.

As his direct superior, Colonel Weinberg knew very well that for London politicians, Lawrence was a "scar" that could never be uncovered. ...but he really became the enemy of the entire Christian world.

So, as early as four years ago, London's instructions were very clear, so that Lawrence should be silenced, and this matter will never be mentioned again.

It's just that Lawrence is never a person willing to be lonely. In the past time, he has been eager to come back again.

Where is he going to come back?
Of course, he came back to Tianfang, in fact, by supporting Tianfang's resistance force, he supported the local people to resist the rule of the French.

That's what Lawrence craves.

But Lawrence obviously forgot one thing, the current UK doesn't want to have anything to do with the Tianfang people at all.He even wished to stay away from those people, lest the secret be exposed.

"It is true, but you know, my friend, Britain cannot intervene in these things right now. After all, Britain is also a civilized country. If the French know that we support heretics, then the British Empire will become the enemy of civilization. My friend, now..."

Shaking his head, Colonel Weinberg said.

"The time is not right, Lawrence, my friend, you should go out and enjoy the spring sunshine, after all, spring is so beautiful..."
