In fact, regarding arrogance, this is not Winston’s problem alone. Just as Rock envied Henry for having a strong motherland, the most powerful motherland in the world, the British had enough reasons to be arrogant. Before the Opium War, Qing officials were still very arrogant.
Arrogant, but now he has become the laughing stock of the whole world.
There is no doubt that Winston is a smart man. He was born in an aristocratic family that is gradually declining. His father has no right to inherit the title, and Winston can only work hard on his own. Therefore, Winston understood a long time ago that if there is
If an opportunity arises, you must seize it.
Winston did indeed do that. He was a pure pragmatist. After the outbreak of the Second Boer War, Sir Hemsworth, the boss of the Daily Mail and the Daily Mirror, was the first to do so.
An invitation was sent to Winston, hoping that Winston could work for the "Daily Mail" and "Daily Mirror", but Winston turned around and told the news to the editor of "Morning Post" Boswick,
So Winston received a high salary of 250 pounds per month from the "Morning Post".
The price Sir Hemsworth offered to Winston was not that high.
Not to mention Winston's military talent, as a reporter with the army, Winston's observation skills are still very good. Although Winston has a bad impression of the Qing Dynasty, Winston also knows that not all Chinese are bad.
Obviously, Roque does not fit Winston's impression of the Chinese in the Qing Dynasty.
People from the Qing Dynasty could not say such philosophical things.
"Locke, did you grow up in England?" Winston himself gave Locke an idea of his origin.
"No, I grew up in the Qing Dynasty. I once served in the Huayong Camp and now I am a policeman in Cape Town. How about it? This experience is quite rich." Rock didn't know if there were any Chinese in Britain these days.
I think there should be some, there are Chinese in the Cape, and there should be some in the UK, but they haven't made any achievements, so they haven't left their names in history.
"It's not bad, but it's definitely not as rich as mine. I've been to Cuba and India, and I was a reporter with the army. This is the first time I picked up a gun, but I was captured by the damn Boers." Now Winston is still there.
He is not the fat old man who signs the V sign everywhere. He will be depressed when he should be depressed, and he will be sad when he should be sad.
"Don't be like this Winston, you have performed well enough. Believe me, because of your outstanding performance, you will become a legend." Rock is not a spoiler. Winston will become famous after returning to the UK and will be successfully elected.
Member of Parliament, he entered the Parliament and started his political career. The 26-year-old Member of Parliament is legendary enough.
By that time, no one will laugh at him for being a premature baby, and people will call him "the great young man eager for success", a title that once belonged to his father.
Well, Winston's father was only 24 when he became an MP.
"I hope that will be the case. I will write down everything I have experienced and tell people how hateful the damn Boers are. Of course, some of the pages will definitely belong to you, Henry." Winston's last words were to Henry.
Yes, although Rock sent Winston back, it was obviously not enough.
"Wow, so I'm going to be in the newspaper?" Henry's performance met Winston's expectations.
"Yes, you are going to become a celebrity. Be prepared. The Army Department may invite you back with a good position." Winston has strong self-confidence in the field he is familiar with, which is a quality shared by all big shots.
.
"Don't forget Locke. We are good partners and we should appear in newspapers together." Fortunately, Henry did not forget Locke.
"No, just write about Henry. The influence of two people is definitely not as good as one." Rock doesn't want to be in the newspaper. Although it will also bring benefits to Rock, the influence of two people in the newspaper together is definitely not as good as one.
People monopolize more.
This is why it is necessary to "tree typical".
"That's right, but don't worry, Locke. Your Chinese background is also very special, and some people will be interested. For those readers, you have many more potential news points than Henry." Winston is engaged in news.
Experts certainly know how to attract attention.
Don't think that only the Chinese can "educate the kingly way", the British can do it as well. The news about Rock is that he comes from the mysterious and backward Qing Dynasty, but he has made great achievements under the British. This fully shows that the British have great influence on the world.
Colonization is the right way. Even the "backward and ignorant" Chinese can become part of the civilized world after accepting transformation from the British.
"Really? I can also be in the newspaper?" Rock suppressed his inner discomfort, and his performance was also in line with Winston's expectations.
"Okay, I will focus on describing how you prevented an imminent serious violent attack." Winston's confidence is now comparable to Shakespeare, of course, this is compared to Henry and Roque.
Well, never mind whether that's true or not, that's what Winston thinks.
The drinking lasted until the afternoon, Winston was sent back to the hotel room, and Henry and Roark went to Mill Street together.
"That's a famous haunted house. If you lived there at night, wouldn't you worry about those ghosts and ghosts?" Henry was very curious about Roark's home.
"It is indeed a bit, so now I still live in the dormitory - well, I hired a Boer family, let's take a look first and then talk about it." Rock found a suitable reason for the existence of Zach's family. If there are really ghosts, then
They will not let Zach's family go.
"Smart way!" Henry confirmed again that Rock was indeed a smart man.
Well, if you think about it this way, those who deal with smart people should also be smart people.
Henry immediately felt that his IQ had gone up a notch.
In most people's minds, when people think of a haunted house, they think of a dilapidated house, a spooky atmosphere, and ghosts everywhere.
Rock's home did not give Henry this feeling.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Henry was stunned by the impression of the "haunted house".
Neat lawns, beautiful fountains, beautiful sculptures, neat servants, big dogs wagging their tails, and houses made of white marble——
Is this a haunted house?
The manor where the governor lives is probably of this level.
"Thank you, Zach." Rock said hello to Zach at the fence gate, casually touched the big man's big head, and stepped onto the path made of irregular bluestone slabs.
"It looks very good, Locke. Are you sure you only paid 100 pounds for this house?" Henry felt that he had missed out on a lot of money. Before Locke bought the house, Henry had also heard about this "haunted house."
", but Henry has never been here and has no interest in knowing about the "haunted house".
Now it seems that Rock's 100 pounds was really worth it!
