I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 798 Shameless

On the first day of the war, the British Air Force in Western Australia was completely wiped out, and this day became a disaster day for the British Air Force.

When reporting this news, Russian newspapers gloated over the misfortune while criticizing the British Empire. In its report, "Russian News" listed the grievances between Britain and Russia, which was strongly opposed by Samuel Hall, the British ambassador to Russia.

Samuel Hall lived in Russia as a military liaison officer during the World War. He also served as the head of MI100 in Rome, unifying the leadership of agents in Italy. Benito Mussolini once worked for Hall for a weekly salary of £.

Earlier this year, Samuel Hall took up his post as British ambassador to Russia.

Samuel Hall believed that the reports of Russian News damaged the image of Britain and were not conducive to the friendly relations between Britain and Russia.

"Isn't this what you have always been pursuing? Not interfering too much with the news media—"

Mannerheim was a staunch defender of the independent spirit of journalism.

Samuel Hall was in great pain, and whoever was hit by the boomerang felt pain.

The UK has been hoping that Russia would lift restrictions on the news media and calling on Russia to open up to free speech on the grounds of "independent spirit".

Interestingly, the British government itself has always attached great importance to the news media, and any negative comments about the UK are strictly restricted in the UK.

How is the so-called "independence" manifested at this time?

"The relationship between Britain and Russia has entered a new phase and we should not live in the past but look to the future."

Samuel Hall avoided the main issue and hoped that Russia would let bygones be bygones.

"You are right, we should indeed look to the future, but we should also remember history, which will allow us to fully learn from experience and not make similar mistakes again."

Mannerheim smiled and said, "You hurt me, but you just laughed it off?"

I can go to my grandmother's!
Mannerheim was not qualified to forgive the British on behalf of Nicholas I, who committed suicide by taking poison after the defeat in the Ninth Russo-Turkish War.

Nor is he qualified to forgive Nicholas II, whose whereabouts are unknown.

Russia's biggest mistake was to believe the British.

Samuel Hall felt uncomfortable, he hated the Russians nowadays.

In the past, Russians were so easy to appease. You could give them a sweet treat after a beating, just like training bears in a circus. The blind bears looked tall and strong, but they were actually very obedient.

Compared with the Russians today, little Nikolai, who would start swearing at the slightest disagreement, can be considered honest and cute.

Even though little Nicholas cursed, his emotions were written all over his face. He was a typical example of a simple-minded person with strong limbs.

Now these Russians are all sweet-mouthed but treacherous. They say nice things to your face, but turn around and draw their knives, not distinguishing between friend and foe.

Yes, it is true that they cannot distinguish between friend and foe. You know, things like sweet words and treacherous hearts were the exclusive domain of the Angus people in the past.

George has higher requirements for the publicity department.

In 1926, Russia's economy had reached new heights, but its spiritual civilization had not kept up, and its national self-confidence was seriously lacking. Compared with Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Gaul and even Latin peoples, it always felt inferior.

When the British talk about Britain, they mean the country on which the sun never sets, which has led the world for hundreds of years and is the leader in the world.

When the French talk about France, they think of the Great Revolution and freedom guiding the people.

Germany's character is that it comes from behind, with a spirit of craftsmanship and an endless stream of high-tech.

Even Italy can boast of a Renaissance.

When other countries talk about Russians, they either think of serfdom or gray livestock. "How many people know Mendeleev's periodic table, and how many people know Tchaikovsky and Tolstoy? We need to reshape the cultural core of Russians, whether it's chivalry or gentlemanly demeanor, in short, we need to make Russians full of confidence."

George reminded Felix that cultural core is more important than economic development.

European immigrants played a crucial role in the prosperity of the United States. Without the continuous influx of European immigrants, the United States would at most be a large-scale Canada.

In the past decade, Russia's attractiveness to Europe has continued to grow, with more than 10 Europeans immigrating to Russia each year, most of whom are high-quality talents needed by Russia.

Although the number of immigrants is increasing day by day, the majority of Russia's population is still Slavs. After all, the base is large, and 10 people per year is insignificant compared to the 1.8 million Russians.

A lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth.

Even though Russia is a cultural desert like the United States, the Russians can be inflated through persistent propaganda by the propaganda department.

Russia really has something to offer.

"If we can make cars available to all Russian families, Russia will naturally become a country that everyone envies."

Felix's understanding of spiritual civilization is seriously insufficient.

This can't be blamed on Felix, others are even worse.

"Envy does not mean loyalty. We want all Russians to be proud of Russia. Cars are important, but national self-confidence is more important. This is the key to our continued improvement."

George said earnestly that Russia is exploring alone on an unprecedented path.

The survival of the fittest advocated by Britain and France is essentially a praise of the law of the jungle and a defense of Britain's global colonization.

America on the other side of the ocean is profit-driven. When it sees an opportunity in Europe, it will try to profit from both sides. But once it finds that there is no advantage to be gained, it will even refuse to join the League of Nations, which it proposed. Its face is so ugly that it is appalling.

Germany proved through the world war that even if it defeated Britain and France through war, the United States would only benefit from the hundreds of years of accumulation of Britain and France.

Russia has a long way to go if it wants to dominate Europe.

Sometimes George couldn't help but sigh and wonder what kind of monster Russia would have developed into if it had been given 5,000 years of civilization.

"Okay, okay, what is chivalry all about? Honesty, justice, bravery, loyalty - what else?"

Felix only said four, and got one wrong.

"Add honor and sacrifice to that, and that's about it."

If George did not correct it, it would be worse to have no books if you only believed in books. When the spirit of chivalry came to Russia, it also needed to be reformed in light of Russia's actual situation.

"This thing is only suitable for making demands on others. Do you believe this?"

Felix was curious, if Russia needed George to sacrifice himself, could George do what he said?

George was a little overwhelmed. It was so difficult to transform Felix, so it would be extremely difficult to transform all Russians into the way George wanted.

"Of course, my code of conduct is honesty, justice, honor and loyalty—"

George boasted.

Felix looked at George with suspicion.

Are all politicians so shameless?
