At night, light snow fell in the sky over Berlin. There was no wind in the whole city. The fine and soft snow fell leisurely in the night sky. A thin layer of snow fell on the road and branches, making people feel fresh and comfortable.
.
Ye Zi Nong went to a Korean restaurant to eat bibimbap. After the meal, he returned home. The car stopped at a parking space on the side of the road. He saw someone getting out of the car parked in front and walking towards him. He didn't pay attention.
, only to find that this man stood next to his car, waiting for him to open the door and get out of the car. He was obviously coming for him. He took out the car key, got out of the car, and subconsciously took a look. This man was wearing a black leather jacket.
, open-minded, thin, about 4 years old.
The man spoke German and said: "Mr. Ye, I am Walls. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
When Ye Zi Nong heard this man calling him by his last name, he was a little confused and said, "I don't know you. Is there something wrong?"
Walls said: "I am the executive vice-president of the German World Democratic Alliance, and I want to talk to you." The executive vice-president usually means the first vice-president, and is the second-in-command after the chairman. How much is the leaf farmer?
I know a little about the organization World Democratic Alliance. The position of Executive Vice Chairman of the German Democratic Alliance is also a prestigious role in the political circle. How could they wait for a penniless ordinary person on the side of the road for a long time? And how did they know?
What about his own? He vaguely thought of the unpleasant incident in George's office in New York.
Ye Zi Nong asked - "What are you talking about?"
Walls said: "Just talking, it won't take you long."
Zi Zi Nong put the car keys into his bag, lit a cigarette and said, "Let's talk."
Walls said, "If you don't mind, you can come to my office to talk, or you can go to your home."
There was a cafe less than 1 meter away from Ye Zi Nong, so he said, "This is the cafe."
Walls said: "Okay."
This is a cafe called "Greenville". The owner is a Liberian. Greenville is a coastal city in Liberia. The cafe is not big and the decoration is very simple. It can even be said to be simple. The customers who come here to patronize
Most of them are poor people from the neighborhood, because this is a slum, and most of the people living there are poor immigrants from Eastern Europe and Africa. After entering the cafe, Walls chose a table in the corner, with walls on both sides of the corner.
There are no customers around, and a few scattered customers are sitting by the window facing the street, so that they can watch the snowy scene outside the window. Ye Zi Nong does not like sweets and rarely drinks coffee, so he is not a regular customer here. The two of them sat
Next, I ordered two cups of coffee.
Walls said: "You met Mr. O'Brien in New York. He was a senior adviser to the president and was an intelligence analysis expert at the CIA before retiring. Mr. Keller is!" Chairman of the World Democratic Alliance, with Mr. O'Brien
We are friends. At a cocktail party, O'Brien mentioned you while chatting with others, saying that you were a rare talent, and also talked a few stories about you. Keller and others were present at the time. How can you be called "O'Brien"?
Talent is not easy to come by, and your expertise is exactly that! "The talents that the alliance needs, Chairman Keller noticed these. We spent a little time getting to know you, and our evaluation of you is positive."
The time, place, characters, story reasons... are all there. Everything is accidental and inadvertent. Everything can stand the verification of facts and is understandable. When the name Ye Ye Nong is associated with the "!" alliance, even Ye Ye
When General Hui's son became the backbone of the alliance, he was pushed into the political whirlpool. All kinds of suspicions, comments, criticisms... would come together, and his peaceful and free life was gone.
A sentence flashed through his mind: This trick is so damn sinister!
Ye Zinong looked at Walls calmly and judged in his mind: Walls is just a front-end executor. He will not know what he is not supposed to know. This character cannot fully understand the inside story, even if he personally knows about it.
If you have any doubts, you can only carry it out with doubts, because no one can give him an answer. You can't be more serious with this person, and you can't tell. If you accept that this is a continuation of the unpleasant incident in New York, don't embarrass this inevitable person.
The executor of the procedure.
Ye Zi Nong said calmly: "I understand, you are inspecting me on behalf of the organization."
Walls smiled and said, "Can I ask you a few questions?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "Please."
"What do you think about democracy? I want to hear your opinion," Walls said.
Ye Zinong said: "I have only seen it, but I don't understand it. There are so many opinions about democracy, and there are a lot of rulers, which one should be used to measure? Each of them can measure their energy and come up with a bunch of truths, and they can measure each other's energy and come up with a bunch of false propositions, that is,
It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, just keep it to yourself. This is not a currency exchange. There is an exchange rate and you can convert it."
"It seems you don't want to talk about it," Walls said.
Ye Zi Nong said: "There is no definition, how can we explain it? What should we explain?"
Walls said: "Democracy is the idea of equal rights."
Ye Zi Nong said: "It doesn't matter whether your master is master or servant or primary and secondary, he is still the master. Since we are all masters, let's not talk about equality. There is no room for it. Okay, this is a word-cutting, then you
What kind of right is this? Is it the right to speak? Or is it the right to decide? Who has the right to speak? Who has the right to decide? After all, it’s still counting heads. What’s the difference between simply counting heads and not simply counting heads?
Is it different? Is counting heads democracy?”
Walls said: "I'll give you a hypothesis. If you were to define democracy, how would you define it?" Ye Nong said, "If you give me a hypothesis, I wouldn't dare to define it. I don't have the ability. I used to have some
Later, I became more and more confused, and I no longer knew what democracy was."
Walls said: "What did you think before?"
Ye Zinong said: "I used to think that democracy was the product of the historical conditions of the family world, the thinking of master and servant, and that democracy after the people's world was a false proposition. Real democracy is a democracy that does not originate from the proposition of democracy.
The servant-servant relationship and the basic rights of citizens permitted by the fundamental interests of the people are two different things. If the ownership of the country belongs to the people, it is democracy. If the will of the people embodies the fundamental interests of the people, it is a good democracy."
Walls thought for a moment and said: "I would like to ask you to explain what you mean by the world of the family and the world of the people." Ye Zinong said: "In the past, the country belonged to the emperor's family, which was called the world of the family. The emperor was the master and the people were the servants.
, the people are all the subjects of the emperor. Democracy is not about who gives benefits to whom, it is a historical necessity for the development of productive forces to break away from the shackles of the imperial power system, a requirement for interests, and a transfer of fundamental interests. If democracy means that the world of the people replaces the world of the family, then
The demise of the family world is not only the realization of the people’s world, but also the demise of the people’s historical aspirations.”
Walls said: “The party is under the rule, the officials are under the rule, and the people are still servants, so don’t we need democracy?”
Ye Zinong said: "This is also a false proposition. It is not only the thinking of master and servant, but also the thinking of struggle. The management method based on the people's world does not belong to the judgment of the people and not being democratic, but to the judgment of whether it is scientific or not, and whether it is effective or not.
It is not a matter of category. The authority lies with the people, and the people choose the executors for their own interests, not their natural enemies."
Walls pondered for a while as an observer and said: "Well, this is also a point of view." He calmly drank a small cup of coffee and said, "One more question, you are right!" How is the Democratic Alliance?
Did you see it?"
Ye Yinong said: "I don't know much about your alliance. Only the information I have access to shows that the alliance made its own contribution to the victory of the world anti-fascist war and won praise from the international community. But some of your alliance's practices after the war
It’s not that easy to evaluate, at least I personally don’t agree with it.”
Walls said: "Are you referring to the human rights proposals against China?"
Ye Zi Nong said: "Including this, not specifically related to China. Democracy is like taking the best medicine. You have to sell it to the right people. You can't ignore whether people are sick or not, or what kind of disease they have.
Everyone prescribes this medicine. If your alliance is to sell medicine as its own mission, then it is basically a wild man." Walls asked: "What is a wild man?"
Ye Zinong said: "He is just an unreliable doctor."
Walls understood what Ye Langzhong meant and said: "Democracy is the ideal of mankind."
Ye Zinong said: "There are many people who put democracy on the front foot, then go to burn incense, kowtow, and go to church. They still have to find another master for themselves. Just like Britain has retained the royal family and Japan has retained the emperor, the people need it.
, national conditions require, respect the traditions and feelings of the people, and face up to the nationality, geography and development level of each country, this is like democracy. Using one's own democracy to deny other people's democracy is not democratic in itself. If everything is one-size-fits-all, how can we talk about democracy?
?You are here for your democracy, and the people are here to live a good life. Is it possible that your needs can replace the needs of social development conditions? Impossible. What kind of democracy can make the people live a good life, and what kind of democracy and society do the people need?
It has developed to the point where it is no longer an either/or between the imperial power and the people, it has developed into the era of scientific management. If we still use the thinking of the imperial power and the people to speculate on scientific management that respects human nature, then it is not democracy, it is
If you slap someone with a hat or a stick, you can't get along with the people."
Walls kept listening attentively, occasionally nodding his head to express agreement, and occasionally smiling to express respect. When Ye Zinong finished speaking, he showed a satisfied expression on his face and said: "It cannot be denied that the two major camps have an impact on the alliance.
, but the alliance’s purpose of promoting democratic progress will not change. The alliance needs diverse voices, especially people with insights like you, and this great cause will also make your most meaningful life. I can
Let me tell you something, we plan to ask you to serve as the Political Minister of the German Alliance. You know, although the Alliance is an international organization, the top positions in each country's branches are generally held by people from the host country. There are only a few exceptions, and you are one of the few exceptions.
one."
Ye Zinong said: "I don't even know what democracy is, so there is no way I can go to the Democratic Alliance to mess around."
Walls said: "Your not knowing is not knowing because you know too much, not not knowing. You don't have to respond immediately. Please think about it calmly for a while. We believe you will eventually make the right decision."
decision, we will further express our sincerity to be more convincing to you."
Walls' words are all official on the surface, but they have hidden meanings. "You don't have to answer right away" means that he does not acknowledge the fact that the Leafs refused to join! "You will make the right decision in the end", which means that they will
Recognize the "Yi Nunga People!" alliance as a fact. "Further expression of sincerity" means including all possible ways.
Ye Zinong said: "There is no need to express any more, the process is almost complete. I respectfully said so many things that you are not interested in at all, and I have been very cooperative. Let's just do the rest."
Ye Zinong's words were also very clear, and he just told Walls: You are just a front-end executor, and I have nothing to say to you about the things behind the scenes. I didn't embarrass you, I just cooperated with you through this scene, it was just my intention.
A trace of unnoticeable embarrassment flashed across Walls's face, he smiled kindly, and said: "What I say below will not appear in the record. I don't want to know what happened to you before, but I have to say, you
