C3254 Establishment of the Military restricted area (1/2)
”Money?” ”No, no, no, I don't have any money. I've never had any personal property in my life, and the people around me only have some basic funds to sustain their daily lives …”
”All my philanthropic actions rely on fund-raising... ”I'm sorry, but I don't have the money. I hope the head of state will pay for all the charity assistance expenses!”
”My God!” Xiao Letian smacked his forehead as the word ”collapse” was written all over his face, ”Could it be that you don't even have a single copper coin, yet you want me to pay for it myself and take the risk of offending all the capitalists and aristocrats in Europe …” to save people? ”
”That's right!” ”That's it …” The old woman laughed.
At this moment, Xiao Letian looked at the old man's benevolent expression and his heart trembled. He really could not afford to offend him!
But today, even the Head of the Guards did not dare to resolutely reject her. Even Xiao Letian felt a little weak facing this woman, ”What exactly do you want? Does all this make sense? ”
”Forgive me for my bluntness, but even if you have exhausted all of your hot-bloodedness, this world will still continue to follow his cruel rule … You know that I am a statesman, and I still have some say in the development of the international situation... ”
”Of course! Of course you have a say... Even the Queen said in private that you might be a mysterious prophet! It can be seen that your gaze is absolutely admirable! ” The old woman nodded.
”Since you trust me, then I will say it clearly …” The future world will become incomparably cruel. You have seen the Crimean War, and now, you are witnessing the devastation of the Franco-Prussian War! ”
”In just a few short decades, the scale of the battle formation has increased to such a terrifying degree … Will this trend subside? I can tell you clearly, no! ”
”In the future, wars will become more and more brutal. The scale will become larger, and human nature will become more and more greedy … One day, there will even be a global war that will engulf the entire world and no country will be able to escape from it! ”
”Among the billions of people involved, the number of dead people is in the tens of millions...” What is the use of that little bit of kindness of yours in a world so dark that there's no end? ”
The Führer's words were moving. The woman gave a long sigh and remained silent for three minutes. ”After a typhoon, the beach was filled with fish that were blown onto the beach by the typhoon …”
He didn't answer the question directly, but started to tell the story. What an interesting old woman!
”A child saw it. He bent down and picked up the fish that were struggling on the beach one by one and threw them back into the sea. Those fish that were struggling on the edge of death were given a new life!”
”But after a typhoon, how can he save the millions of tiny fish that blow onto the beach?”
”The onlookers laughed at him, 'Everything you do is futile, you can't even save so many dying little fishes, what are you trying to do? ”Is it meaningful?”
”But the child smiled and said, 'Of course it's meaningful. At the very least, the little fish in my hand seems meaningful to him!'”
Xiao Letian was stunned, he did not think that this chicken soup that was spread far and wide in the 21st century would actually appear in the nineteenth century.
This fairy tale that had been forgotten for a long time had suddenly resurrected from Xiao Letian's subconscious!
Yeah, at least the one who was saved thought it made sense, so that was enough!
”Ai …” ”From the moment I rose up in East Asia, every step I took was well thought out. Every action I took could bring direct or indirect benefits to me...”
”I would never do something without a reward … ”But for your sake, I'll have to make an exception today!”
Xiao Letian turned his head to look at the entrance of the military tent and shouted, ”Pass my orders, put out our defenses near the Shabelle Gate, hang our flag, and set up the Military restricted area!”
”Measuring the land, notifying the warring parties …” ”In the district near the Shabelle Gate, I want to expropriate six to eight square kilometers of land and set up a Chinese Military restricted area …”
