I'm very confused, Qin, why are you from the East? Henry didn't have the telescope or the pipe, but brought a cup of tea, which he made specially to entertain Qin Zhiyuan.
I'm also confused, Henry, why can't I be an Oriental? Qin Zhiyuan is also holding a teacup in his hand. Through the smoky water vapor, he can see the tea leaves floating in the boiling water, just like life, just like the world.
, there is a very mysterious flavor in it.
You are different from other Orientals. They are cowardly and humble, have no self-confidence and no faith. They don't even dare to stand up in front of me. Henry glanced at Qin Zhiyuan and observed Qin Zhiyuan's reaction.
Qin Zhiyuan's expression did not change at all, and even his eyes showed no signs of fluctuation. He only looked at the teacup in his hand, as if the water vapor in the teacup could really transform into a dragon.
If he went to play tarot cards, he must be a master. Henry gave up understanding Qin Zhiyuan by observing facial expressions. At the same time, Henry confirmed that Qin Zhiyuan must be a man of firm mind.
Please forgive me for saying this about your people, I think you understand why. Henry apologized for the temptation just now, and then continued: Compared with them, you are more confident and aggressive, and at the same time, I can see
Come on, you have a sense of superiority, even in front of us Westerners. This is very strange, I have never seen anyone like you before.
Long-distance travel is indeed lonely, even for captains. It is rare to find an interesting person. Henry is very willing to chat with Qin Zhiyuan.
The Chinese have many virtues, many of which even you Westerners do not possess, although your national power is now stronger than ours. If you look at the same thing from different angles, you will get different conclusions. For example, if you
When you talk about cowardice, in my opinion, that’s called caution. For example, when you talk about humility, in my opinion, that’s called modesty. Even without confidence or faith, these are incorrect. We have confidence because we have five thousand years.
In the history of civilization, our ancestors have been glorious, and our ancestors have also been enslaved. However, our ancestors know how to move forward in adversity and how to wait for opportunities through forbearance. This is a precious legacy left to us by our ancestors.
Wealth. As for faith, we believe in Taoism. Do you know Taoism?
After getting Henry's approval, Qin Zhiyuan continued to introduce: Taoism is a sect native to China. It does not force people to abandon their relatives, does not advocate the eradication of dissidents, and will not let you kowtow to him five times a day, let alone set fire to him.
Death to the infidels.
Oh, do you know about the Crusaders? Henry attaches great importance to religious belief, or in other words, Westerners attach great importance to faith. Therefore, Henry is very interested in this topic and even interrupted Qin Zhiyuan's words rudely.
I know a little bit, but I don’t quite understand it. This is the difference between our Eastern and Western cultures. We will never force others to give up their beliefs and switch to ours. Our Taoism does not advocate this. Qin Zhiyuan tried to tell Henry
A hole was dug.
Yes, we don't advocate this either. It's about faith, and Henry is a little anxious.
Is it just like the crusader Qin Zhiyuan you just said smiled, everything is under control.
Oh this is so frustrating. Henry gave up the argument. There was really nothing to argue about at this point in the Crusades.
You see, we have faith and we also have self-confidence, it's not what you said. Even if my people don't dare to straighten up in front of you, it's not because of fear of you, or lack of self-confidence like you said.
That's because my people are afraid that because of their disrespect to you, you will be angry with our country. After all, we can't defeat you now. Our cowardice is to be strong in the future, and we bend down so that we can stand stronger in the future.
straight.
This is not a sneaky change of concept. Without the support of a strong country, the people really cannot stand up. Qin Zhiyuan has experienced more than half of the past 40 years since the reform. Perhaps there are various shortcomings in the country after the reform.
But it is undeniable that Chinese people can indeed straighten their backs in front of foreigners.
So what about you? If you are so aggressive now, aren't you afraid that we will offend your country? Henry is a white man and has been running at sea all year round. His face is a little red. In this way, you can't tell whether he was blushing just now or not.
Maybe you are afraid, maybe you are not afraid, but you have to understand one fact, Henry. We went to France to help you. We are not going to beg or cause you trouble. We are going to help you fight the Germans. The only way is to fight the Germans.
Once you understand this, we will have equal dialogue, or in other words, you will view the relationship between us with an equal attitude. Do you see, this is the standard concept of secret exchange.
Of course, we very much welcome your arrival. Henry is very clear about the situation in Europe.
It can be said that Europe is like a drunkard who went crazy when he returned home at night, and then burned down all the money he had accumulated over a hundred years.
Qin Zhiyuan was about to continue when someone at the door reported: Mr. Captain, it's time to change the shift.
Okay, I understand. Henry frowned and wiped his face, and then sighed helplessly: Qin, you know, your behavior has caused me a lot of trouble.
Really? Then I'm very sorry. What I said was so insincere that even Qin Zhiyuan himself didn't believe it.
You just killed one person with your own hands, and two others were seriously injured. Of the three people you brought back, one had two broken ribs, and the other two people were vomiting blood and probably had serious internal injuries. Henry sternly said
He counted one by one with his fingers, then spread his hands and made a blessing gesture from God.
There are many people in the labor team who practice martial arts all year round. The various insidious moves they use to beat people are hard to guard against. For example, the two sailors who vomited blood would have died in a month if Chen Kangjian had not concealed the fact.
And died.
Let's put it this way, I am currently short of manpower. If there is no one to make up for it in time, the Victory Message will not be able to move at full power, which means that our time to land will be delayed. Henry told the truth, this was his true intention to find Qin Zhiyuan.
I understand, what you mean is, let me find a few people to replace the positions of those sailors. This is not difficult, there are many workers, and I can pick out a lot of big-bodied and round-waisted ones. Although they cannot do technical work,
It is still possible to use Tiantian coal to clean the lower deck and so on.
This is best. I'm waiting for your good news. Henry poured out the tea leaves in the cup and made himself a cup of coffee. Compared to tea, he still preferred this: Don't worry, I will pay the salary and won't let your companions work in vain.
.
Okay, as you wish. Qin Zhiyuan thanked him again and then politely left.
Returning to the bottom cabin 106, there was no need to go out. As soon as Qin Zhiyuan said that he wanted people on the ship, Chen Kangjian and Ge Lifu took the initiative to ask for help. Anyway, Henry paid wages, so if you don't make money, you won't make it in vain.
However, what Qin Zhiyuan didn't expect was that when they came back the next day, each of them was carrying a pocket watch.
Qin Zhiyuan had a headache. He had a bad premonition that the image of Chinese people spread in Europe in the future might not be modest or gentle, but a group of bullies.
