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

Chapter 447: The World Must Have a War? Sir, please take me back to my country!
"It's not just Germany. Japan's economy far to the east has also been hit hard. Their domestic market is small and resources are extremely scarce. They are more eager to plunder resources and markets to alleviate the domestic crisis!"

As they chatted, Bao Guowei mentioned the domestic situation in Japan intentionally or unintentionally.

“After the last World War, Japan experienced the so-called war boom and its economy developed, but in terms of domestic economy, Japan was still in the stage of semi-feudal small peasant economy, and many farmers faced bankruptcy under the economic crisis.

Today, Japan is planning a large-scale expansion of its military, and the total number of troops has even reached more than four million.

This is a terrifying figure if Japan wants to maintain such a huge military expenditure and ease domestic conflicts.

Starting a foreign war is almost inevitable!"

After hearing Bao Guowei's statement, King George V of the United Kingdom couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

Britain is not without interests in the Far East. It can even be said that it is a sphere of influence that the British are absolutely unwilling to give up!
At this time, Britain not only had natural ports such as Malaya and Singapore, but also served as transportation hubs for Far East trade.

There are also Burma, Ceylon, India and the Pacific region, some of which are colonies and some are spheres of influence.

At a time when we are facing an economic crisis and the country's national strength is gradually declining.

Far Eastern interests became an issue that the British had to consider.

George V had some knowledge of Japanese practices, part of which came from Bao Guowei's book The Chrysanthemum and the Sword.

He understood that, to some extent, this country and nation were just a group of lunatics and perverts trapped on a barren island.

If Japan really launches an attack in the Far East in the near future, how should Britain, far away in the West, respond?

In the context of the economic crisis, does Britain have the capacity to protect its interests in the Far East?
At once, George V realized the importance of this conversation.

From Bao Guowei, he gained knowledge and insights that he could never hear in parliament or the cabinet.

George V sat up straight and even stood up to help Bao Guowei pour a cup of black tea.

This can almost be said to be the highest sincerity of the royal family in British royal etiquette.

Bao Guowei seemed like a fool. Facing the king's hospitality, he showed no gratitude. He just nodded slightly, as if he didn't realize what this meant.

"Anymore?"

George V had no time to worry about these things. What he wanted to know more was Bao Guowei's profound understanding of the international situation.

"There are other factors that I'm sure your Majesty is aware of." Bao Guowei continued with a smile. "Fascist forces were founded by Mussolini in Italy and have now grown in countries such as Italy and Germany. They emphasize the supremacy of the state and the nation, advocate external expansion and aggression, and want to achieve economic recovery and the growth of extreme nationalism through war.

With the existence of this force, war is almost inevitable!
In my opinion, Germany's racism and expansionist policies, as well as Japan's militarism, will become a major concern for the entire world in the future, and will set off a disaster that will spread to the whole world! "

George V stared at Bao Guowei closely. To be honest, the assertions made by the other party were too shocking.

Is fascism really that scary?

Like many members of parliament, George V was also wary of fascist forces, but judging from the current situation, it seems that fascist forces will have a hard time gaining ground.

As for Germany, it was a defeated country! Could it really have that much energy to start another world war?

The limitations of the times made it difficult for George V to believe Bao Guowei's conclusions, but precisely because he looked at the problem from a macro historical perspective, almost every theory proposed by Bao Guowei fits the current reality.

“Hindsight” always makes sense.

George V did not believe Bao Guowei's conclusion.

But George V treasured his theoretical analysis, his deconstruction of the international situation, and his elaboration of future development trends.

The two continued talking until the evening, and George V still seemed unsatisfied.

Over a long period of time, Bao Guowei has combined his story-writing ability and theoretical ability through countless speeches and debate exercises, striving to make every argument meaningful and grasp the rhythm of the speech.

This means that every time the audience listens to Bao Guowei's speeches, they always feel that they are very beneficial and that they do not seem boring or difficult to understand.

George V had exactly the same feeling. On the one hand, he was doing his job and seeking advice from Bao Guowei for the future of Britain. On the other hand, he recalled his own youth when he adventured at sea.

Just like Bao Guowei, he is full of vigor and ambition.

What an enviable state.

"Europe's geopolitics is also the reason why wars often occur. The political contradictions here are intricate and complicated, especially for the Germans. They are located in central Europe and have an important strategic position, but they are also under pressure from neighboring countries.

From a geographical point of view, it is not incomprehensible that the Germans tried to break the restrictions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles.

If the Germans want to rise again as a world power, they must seize other people’s resources, and once the war machine is started, there is no reason to stop.”

The analysis in the second half is more sober.

George V began to understand how the other party wrote the book "Guns, Germs, and Steel".

Some time ago, there were rumors in the market that Bao Guowei's various works were ghostwritten by others. Now it seems to be complete nonsense.

Analyzing the occurrence of historical processes and their future directions from multiple perspectives is definitely the most cutting-edge social science research method today.

George V was silent for a long time. He kept looking at Bao Guowei and felt a sense of appreciation for his talent.

How great it would be if such talents were British?
No, even if the other party is not British, if he is a white Westerner, he can probably be recruited easily, right?
But thinking of Bao Guowei, who almost scared him to death before, George V finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade Bao Guowei to stay in Britain.

George V glanced at the secretary beside him and said to Bao Guowei with a smile.

"Mr. Bao, do you mind if our conversation today is disclosed in written form to other people?"

At first, there were only two of them in the conference room, but later, George V gradually realized the importance of the conversation and called a clerk.

The clerk sat in a narrow corner, squatting awkwardly in front of the typewriter, typing away the conversation between the two.

By the end of the conversation, the clerk was covered in sweat.

There was no other reason, it was just that what the gentleman from the East said was too shocking.

Even the experienced clerk was at a loss.

"I don't mind at all." Bao Guowei spread his hands and said, "You can even publish these contents in the newspaper so that more people can know about them. This will also be helpful in preventing tragedies from happening and preventing those demons from starting wars."

If George V was willing to announce it in an official capacity, it would be in line with Bao Guowei's idea of ​​spreading the influence of this matter.

"That's not the case," George V said with a hint of embarrassment. "But I will ask the Prime Minister and the Cabinet to discuss this together."

Just kidding, if today's conversation was published in the newspaper in the name of the royal family, I wonder how much of a stir it would cause in the UK again.

Not to mention the diplomatic impact caused by this.

Since George V was unwilling to publish it, Bao Guowei naturally would not dissuade him, and it would be useless to do so.

Such prophetic things are often not taken seriously.

The main reason is that it is difficult for people to transcend their inherent cognition, and even a monarch is not immune to this.

George V was obviously still reluctant to leave the conversation, and continued to chat with Bao Guowei about topics such as history and literature. After the steward outside came in and urged him several times, George V decided to send the guest away.

"I also need to entertain some foreign guests. You know, Mr. Bao, this is my job."

"Your Majesty, please go and do your work. I am also planning to leave."

"Leave?" George V did not expect the other party to be so anxious. "When?"

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Bao Guowei said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I am already eager to go home and reunite with my family."

With the commitment of the British authorities and the royal approval, Bao Guowei's journey out of London went very smoothly.

In order to ensure safety, Churchill also secretly arranged a cruise for Bao Guowei. Most of the passengers on board were returning students from London, as well as some British diplomats, missionaries and the like.

It is much safer than ordinary cruise ships.

Churchill wrote a very simple and clear letter about this.

“Bao, if I help you, you have to write The Godfather Part II and send it to me as soon as possible. This is an equal transaction.

By the way, if you have other different insights on economics, please be sure to let me know in advance!

Must be faster than others!!!"

Obviously, the second half of Mr. Churchill's letter is the key point.

Bao Guowei could imagine that after the stock market recovered, this gentleman invested a large amount of money and then continued to be trapped in the stock market.

A short-term recovery proves nothing. As long as the nature of the UK's economic problems remains unchanged, the stock market will still fall after some short-term gains.

This is the trend of the times and there is almost no way to change it.

Unless there is a fundamental transformation and recovery in the UK economy.

Bao Guowei wrote a simple letter introducing the risks of the stock market and wanted to write back to Churchill.

But on second thought, this letter will probably fall on deaf ears.

Honest advice hurts, and my advice probably won't have any effect.

Then he stopped and wrote a few simple words in the letter.

"Thank you. I will contact you if I have any ideas."

So he asked someone to reply.

This gentleman is very busy, and even if we are in London, it would be faster to send a letter.

Besides, Bao Guowei still has a lot of things to deal with.

In fact, the three of them didn’t have much luggage, so they just had to pack up a little and get on the boat with their bags.

However, Bao Guowei still has a lot of things to do in Europe that need to be arranged and finalized.

This time I return to China, I don’t know when I will come to Europe next time.

For example, as mentioned in France, regarding the funding of the Marie Curie Radium Institute, Bao Guowei had to sign a contract with the institute, and then have the cooperating publisher in Europe transfer the funds to the institute's account on a regular basis.

In fact, there was another reason why Bao Guowei funded the institute, which was that he was far away in China, and it was too difficult for him to check the accounts of European publishers.

Rather than letting these publishers cheat you, it is better to donate directly to the institute. If the institute comes forward, I believe these publishers will not dare to do anything.

In addition, there was a discussion with Gu Weijun about the student aid foundation. Bao Guowei planned to set up a student aid foundation when he returned to China, which would connect with the one in Europe and continue to fund Chinese students to study abroad in the future.

Keynes had always wanted to come and see me, saying that he wanted to discuss the details of "Island Economics".

There was also Ms. Agatha, who became good friends with Zhang Nianyue and the two maintained close correspondence.

If Agatha had no such inclination in history, Bao Guowei would have suspected that this lady was trying to steal his wife.

Ms. Agatha also specifically proposed some ideas for mystery novels, which Bao Guowei might need to respond to before leaving.

There is another more important point.

The fanboy who was fooled by me in Europe, the great writer who would write the epic novel "1984" in the future, the future leader of British left-wing literature, Mr. George Orwell.

It seems that you are interested in going to China with me?
That day, George Orwell found Bao Guowei living secretly in an apartment near the port. As soon as he opened the door, he went straight to the point.

"Sir, I can't stand these dirty British guys anymore. Please take me to China this time! That's where I belong!"

At this moment, Bao Guowei was still busy replying to Keynes and Agatha, and there were also some things he wanted to ask Mr. Gu Weijun for help with.

After hearing Orwell's words, he almost fell off his chair.

"What did you say?"

Before Bao Guowei returned to China, his deeds had already spread throughout the country.

In particular, Bao Guowei's various deeds in Europe are really inspiring to the Chinese people.

He shined at the British royal banquet and silenced the fascist extremists.

The writing of "The Rural Teacher" created a whole new genre of science fiction. Some people even assert that if there is a Nobel Prize in Literature in the science fiction world, it must be "The Rural Teacher".

There are also rumors that some prestigious European scholars and masters are ready to nominate Bao Guowei as the winner of next year's Nobel Prize in Literature to the Swedish Nobel Committee.

Not to mention Bao Guowei's speech at the University of Paris, his preparation to fund international students, and his sensational broadcast to the whole of the UK.

For a time, domestic newspapers were filled with reports of Bao Guowei's deeds abroad.

Many domestic readers have quite a few complaints.

Why did Mr. Bao leave all the good things to foreigners? We also want to see these works! We also want to listen to these speeches!

If there were a hot search, I'm afraid "When will Bao Guowei come back" would be high on the list.

Amidst the praises, the government will naturally take action.

The Jinling-based ZY Daily also published a column reporting on the welcome Bao Guowei received abroad.

Of course, during the process, the author used the Spring and Autumn style of writing to attribute most of Bao Guowei's achievements to Chiang Kai-shek, and then made a big shout at the end.

"This is all proof that under the leadership of Mr. Chiang Kai-shek, the National Government has grown stronger step by step and has been effectively recognized by countries around the world."

At the same time, Zhang Taiyan, who was far away in Gusu, had finally regained much health recently and had also seen these reports about his apprentice.
