Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 405: The terrible thoughts from the mustache!

"My friends, these are the best of times, these are the worst of times. This quote comes from A Tale of Two Cities, a work by British writer Charles Dickens in 1859."

"I have a completely different understanding of this sentence from others, and based on my understanding of the current situation, I think this is a time of great change, and our great England is going through a great test! But at the same time, it is also an opportunity for us to return to the top of the world!"

"Gentlemen! Now we are facing an economic depression. Shameful foreigners have stolen everything from us. They have stolen our economy, seized our survival resources, and laughed at us!"

"The whole work of nature is a violent struggle between the strong and the weak - the eternal victory of the strong over the weak. If it were not so, all nature would perish. The nation that violates this fundamental law will also perish."

"No one can take away our honor. For us, only the system that is useful to us should be effective!"

In the meeting hall, the congressmen who had been arguing with Mosley seemed to have been defeated.

Regardless of his political views, Oswald Mosley was indeed a very powerful orator.

His eloquence is not only reflected in his political propositions and logic, but these are secondary to him.

What is truly amazing about Mosley is the infectious power hidden in his words.

“This man’s words are very inspiring. To be honest, even though I am a foreign minister now, I am still attracted by his words.

If I were in a different position, I might support this person in the country.”

After listening to Mosley's debate, even Shi Zhaoji expressed his feelings.

"That's all?" Cao Yanhai, who was standing by, curled his lips in disapproval. Although he didn't understand English, he still commented, "It's still far behind Master."

But Bao Guowei captured some details in Mosley's debate.

"The whole work of nature is a violent struggle between the strong and the weak, and no one can take away our honor"

Isn't this what Moustache said in "My Struggle"?

This book was published in Germany in 1925 and mainly talks about fanatical nationalism and hatred of Marxism and Jews.

In the book, he emphasized the Aryans as the "dominant race" and denounced Western politics as a symbol of decadence.

Use the power of the nation to fight so that the Germans can obtain daily bread and gain new "living space".

This book is now a best-seller in Germany. Many countries have banned it, but it is inevitable that it will be leaked to various parts of the world.

As an ardent fascist, Oswald Mosley would inevitably bring up some of the content of this work during the debate.

The most important thing is that this kid seems to have inherited the mustache's unique speaking ability and appeal.

Bao Guowei still remembers the performance of Little Mustache in major film and television works in later generations, with rich body language and strong emotional expression.

These may seem exaggerated to future generations, but to ordinary Germans of that era, they were extremely passionate and inspiring.

Bao Guowei analyzed: "This is a very unique way of speaking. His success is mainly based on the current depression. Ordinary people can't get enough food, and even the noble class can't do anything about it.

Usually at times like this, nationalism breaks out within a country.

When one person stands up and skillfully applies history, national sentiment, and the desire for survival, it will resonate strongly with many people.”

He said with a hint of sarcasm on his face, "This power is like an extremely sharp divine weapon. It can save the country to some extent, but if the user has evil intentions, it can also destroy the country!"

Bao Guowei's analysis angle was so unique that even Shi Zhaoji stopped and listened quietly to his explanation.

For a moment, Shi Zhaoji fell into deep thought. After a while, he said with emotion.

"You are indeed a young literary giant. Your analysis is far-fetched and reasonable. I even believe that some countries in the world will undergo some unfavorable changes due to the wave of nationalism."

Bao Guowei complained in his heart, of course it makes sense, because this is my analysis based on the combination of modern countries and history, and anyone can make a roughly correct analysis with hindsight.

This is the unique advantage of a time traveler.

"Extreme nationalism." Zhang Nianyue frowned. She was very familiar with this word and had even heard it more than once from Bao Guowei.

This reminded Zhang Nianyue of many current political events. For example, didn’t Yuan Shikai, who wanted to restore the monarchy, steal this supreme weapon?

Also, what fits this theory most closely reminds Zhang Nianyue of the Japanese, who have always been eyeing China covetously.

Thinking back to Bao Guowei's earlier analysis of the Japanese, it was precisely because of this extreme nationalism that some Japanese took up the "weapon" that dragged others and themselves into the abyss.

This thought made Zhang Nianyue feel terrified because she couldn't imagine what might happen next.

At this moment, Mosley did not stop his speech, and more and more people gathered here.

Many scholars and politicians expressed disgust and even fear at the content of Mosley's speech.

But there were many more people who were attracted by his speech and deceived by his infectious emotions.

A young congressman in the crowd asked loudly.

"Mr. Mosley, we understand what you said above, but how are we going to solve the plight of the British Empire now?

You can’t govern a country just by feeling and being angry.”

As the most powerful and knowledgeable group of people in London, they are not fools.

Just relying on these emotional contents, it may be possible to infect groups of ordinary people at gatherings.

But here, we still need to propose feasible policies.

"This is not a difficult task." Mosley spread out his hands with a confident smile on his face.

"To solve extreme problems, you need extreme measures, just like a doctor treating a patient. When you encounter such urgent symptoms, you must use a dose of medicine that you would not normally use.

This is not about killing the man, this is about saving the man.”

He held the spiral escalator and walked up step by step, as if he was eager to ascend the throne of power.

Everyone's eyes followed his footsteps, moving upward little by little, until they were fixed on the angle where Mosley was looking down at everyone.

All I heard was him speaking in a magnetic and powerful voice.

"I will establish a professional group system to allow every ordinary representative to negotiate equally to achieve reasonable distribution and efficient development, and inject new vitality and order into the economic development of the UK!"

"I will reform the parliamentary democracy system which is already full of flaws and which is not working as it should in the face of crisis!
I advocate the abolition of all political parties and related institutions, but the king and parliament will remain. You should know that I am actually absolutely loyal to the royal family!"

"We need a technical parliament, where citizenship is based on profession rather than region, and everyone will be voted for by his trade and profession!"

Policy after policy is thrown out, system after system that seems reasonable but hides a dictatorship is promoted.

In the venue, many young MPs' eyes lit up. It seemed that they saw hope and a figure comparable to Robert Walpole, the first Prime Minister in British history.

Under the leadership of this gentleman, Britain achieved political stability and economic prosperity, and promoted a series of reform measures, creating a good economic foundation for Britain to ascend the throne of the British Empire.

And today, more than two hundred years later, they seem to have seen another Robert Walpole, also a reformer!
How could this not make them excited?

At the same time, other parliamentarians and nobles in the room were heartbroken, especially some scholars who scoffed at it.

You have to know that in Europe at that time, most of the powerful scholars were basically openly or semi-openly left-wing.

It can be said that the Red Tsarist Russia at this moment is, in a sense, the beacon in their hearts and the symbol of civilization.

However, in today's political context, those in power are obviously more wary of socialists than Mosley, an extreme nationalist. Therefore, no one has the courage to speak out.

At this time, it was the female congressman who spoke.

Nancy Astor frowned deeply.

It seems that Mosley's system and policies are very correct, but they always make people feel uncomfortable.

So she stood up and refuted.

"Mr. Mosley, I have heard some political news about Germany. Your idea is very similar to that of a certain gentleman. I think this is dangerous and may very likely drag the entire country into the abyss."

But even though her voice was very loud, Mosley on the steps seemed not to hear it and continued with his speech.

Mosley didn't even look at her.

Nancy Astor, feeling ignored, was very angry. She stamped her feet and spoke with gritted teeth.

"What a rude man."

This kind of contempt made her feel more offensive than the usual insults.

At this time, a young congressman next to him answered for Mosley with a smile.

“Mrs. Astor, this is a question that does not require an answer. The fact is that even if Mr. Mosley’s reforms are not followed, the empire is likely to fall into the abyss.

Even if Mr. Mosley's ideas are somewhat radical, as long as it can make the empire strong again and prevent the hateful socialists from invading our country, then everything is worth it, isn't it? "

"You guys." Nancy Astor opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to refute.

She saw those fanatical young eyes, and goosebumps suddenly appeared on her skin, and she even felt a little scared.

In the crowd, some elderly parliamentarians couldn't help but sigh and tap their canes.

"Are times really going to change? Is there no one who can refute this fanatical gentleman?!"

Reporters from major newspapers gathered around Mosley like a swarm of bees, and they even got a camera without knowing when.

Under the flash lights, Mosley looked even more confident. He opened his arms and spoke loudly.

“Gentlemen, we must defend the glory of the Anglo-Saxon nation with new thinking and determination, and let those emerging countries in the world know that the British Empire has never lost its original power!

Parliament will only be responsible for general issues, and the real power will be given to the conference of associations from all walks of life in the UK. The Supreme Council will assist the country in selecting a qualified prime minister.

The leadership of the country should be in the hands of people who are truly capable and responsible!"

The real purpose is revealed!

After trying step by step, Mosley almost said "elect me as prime minister".

But after the previous preparation, these remarks did not seem so abrupt and deliberate.

On the contrary, after Mosley said this, many congressmen in the audience showed expressions of respect.

Most of these people are young faces.

For them, reducing parliamentary power is not a bad thing that affects their interests, but rather a good thing that benefits them.

The constitutional monarchy system has been established for too long. After two hundred years of history, the parliamentary system that once seemed reasonable has become corrupt.

Many factions are intertwined in Parliament, and those prominent families almost control the entire political ecology of London.

In the field of power, the old people dominate over the young people and have no hope of rising.

At this time, Mosley's remarks became their hope.

It is true that the decline in parliamentary power will affect their rights, but they are still young and they can join the so-called professional associations and transform themselves from parliamentarians into association members.

And thus gain more power!
Subvert the traditional political ecology!
On the other hand, the declining British economy has also sounded the alarm for many conservatives.

Frankly speaking, some conservative members of parliament would rather accept this "treasonous" and "rebellious" system than have their country occupied by socialists.

After all, the former may only have some rights reduced, or they may even have more rights.

As for the latter, they will be demoted to evil capitalists, thrown into prison, and judged by countless ordinary people!

Such a result is unacceptable to everyone.

"It seems that the political ecology of the UK is going to undergo a major change." Shi Zhaoji couldn't help but sigh as he watched the events unfold from afar.

"Not necessarily." Bao Guowei was a little unconcerned. In British politics, the influence of those families that have been passed down for hundreds of years is enormous. Some of the current political beneficiaries will not allow Mosley to jump up and down.

"But," Bao Guowei paused and said, "After today, Mosley and his ideas will spread all over London."

To be honest, he didn't expect things to happen so quickly. According to history, it seemed that it took Mosley two years to officially promote his political ideas.

Is it because of my own reasons?

Thinking of this, Bao Guowei couldn't help feeling a little agitated.

"Bingwen, you have to stay calm!" Shi Zhaoji was always observing Bao Guowei's reaction, fearing that he would do something out of line. "This is a political dispute among the British. It is very dangerous to join in rashly."

Even Zhang Nianyue grabbed Bao Guowei's arm, and her eyes seemed to be saying.

"Don't cause any trouble for me, kid!"

Bao Guowei patted the latter's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure of."

But at this moment, there was suddenly a commotion in the venue.

Cao Yanhai actually stood up and said in surprise.

"Look, Master, the sickly Englishman who was chatting with you happily just now has walked up!"

His heart skipped a beat. Shi Zhaoji had been on high alert, but he had never expected this.

He hit his forehead twice and said.

"Damn it! How could I have forgotten about George Orwell, this destabilizing factor!"

I was so busy guarding against Bao Guowei that I forgot about this young man.

Everyone's eyes were on this rash and rude young man.

The crowd was in an uproar, but George Orwell remained unmoved.

He came in front of Mosley, raised his head and looked at the fanatical guy, and spoke sternly.

"Hypocrisy! What you are pursuing is nothing more than a society ruled by totalitarianism, a repressive place without freedom of thought and without individual rights. This is a road to destruction!"

At this moment, Bao Guowei was almost stunned and cried out in his heart, "Oh no!"
