Chapter 308 Infiltration
London, England.
In a snack bar on the corner of a wealthy London district, a handsome man dressed as an English gentleman came to this shop called "Indian Snacks".
As soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of many people. He has a high nose bridge, low eye sockets, thick golden hair, and deep eyes, which do not match the current style of British young people.
Although just looking at his face, he looks very immature, about seventeen or eighteen years old, but his every move imitates the behavior of old British gentlemen, which is very standard and elegant.
This made some of the ladies dining here call it a pity, a handsome man, but every movement seems old-fashioned, as if seeing his old father suddenly appearing in front of them, severely obliterating the love brains who want to "" A sweet love" idea.
The young man ignored the gazes of all the young ladies, and walked straight towards the counter. The crutch in his hand was clanging forcefully and rhythmically on the wooden floor.
He asked the waiter politely: "Sir! Do you sell starry sky pies here?"
The waiter is not very old, and he looks like a little creampie. He claims to be from the Indian region, but an oriental face shows that he is lying, but the diners don't care. People come here because the "Indian" food here is very good. "Authentic", especially the "Ecstasy Little Crispy Ball", is the most popular among the public. It is topped with cheese, cream and honey, and the British say it is good after eating it.
On the one hand, this "Indian" restaurant is very distinctive. It is said that most of the ingredients come from India, especially various secret spices, which have a strong taste, and the Ganges water is specially transported from the Ganges River in India to London. According to the instructions of the restaurant service staff It is said that the Ganges water is equivalent to holy water in India, which can cleanse the soul and help the British go to heaven after death. It is not derogatory. For the British Puritans, they deserve such blessings for being so pious.
In the end, most of the people who come here to eat are young talents from the wealthy area, especially the rich ladies who are full of tons. Compared with the greasy British chefs, the waiters in this restaurant are generally more handsome, and most of the service staff are from east and west. Kong's handsome young man is novel and eye-catching.
"Sorry, we are an Indian restaurant here."
"That's such a pity, is there no curry chicken?"
"Curry stewed chicken, do you want sweet or salty?"
"I want something clean and hygienic."
The two were talking one sentence after another at the counter, and a small note was stuffed into the young gentleman's pocket along the way.
"Have a nice meal!"
"Thanks!"
…
In the evening, 214 Thames Street, London.
The man who appeared in the restaurant during the day was talking with another man, who was the owner of "Indian snacks".
"Mr. Charlie, this is a summary of the content of the English Parliament in December this year. It mainly focuses on the popularization of the law and the two wars between Italy and Austria. Besides, Ireland is a concern for half of the United Kingdom. However, Ireland is not independent after all, so we can only It is an internal matter of the UK." The owner of the snack bar handed over a thick stack of documents.
The man known as "Richard" asked: "Is the source reliable?"
"We bought a member of Parliament from the Abergavenny region of the United Kingdom. He has a close personal relationship with the current minister regardless of the ministry, so he is very clear about the internal affairs of the United Kingdom."
"You guys haven't shown any signs, have you?"
"Don't worry, we recruited a Frenchman to work for us in the name of an American businessman. Our people lied about developing the British market, so they are more interested in the British government's policies."
"French? Reliable."
"We never regarded him as one of our own, so we kept in single-line contact. He didn't know our true identity."
"We still have to be careful to arouse his suspicion. After all, he is a Frenchman in England. It would be bad if he loses his mind and betrays us."
"Hehe, no, we know all about his situation. He was brought here from France by his father when he was young. His father married an English stepmother, but soon his father died suddenly for unknown reasons. The stepmother Partnered with another man to annex the family property, and he was kicked out of the house by the two of them. Later, he became an "Orphan in the Twist". Under the package, he pretends to be an upstart in the United States, communicates with dignitaries and steals intelligence from the British government, and now he can’t escape this extravagant life, once he leaves us, he will be reduced to the streets again.”
"Well, that's good, but you have to be careful in everything, after all, you are not your own, so you should be careful." The man called "Richard" said.
After that, he sat on the sofa and began to flip through the materials. The whole living room fell into silence, only the second hand was ticking on the clock dial.
Looking at it, it was late at night, and "Richard" finally put down the documents in his hand.
He brought a brazier as if no one was there, threw the materials into it, then found a candle and lit it, and the room was instantly illuminated. It was winter in London, so the fire that was lit added some warmth to the cold room.
"Richard" said: "Continue to pay close attention to the British government's movements, and also pay attention to private newspapers and public opinion. If there is a topic about the kingdom, report it in time."
"Well, don't worry, some of our people have already mixed into many tabloids, and one of them has achieved the position of editor-in-chief of The Times. If there is relevant content, we will get the source of the news as soon as possible."
"Very well, what the Kingdom needs now is an environment for stable development, so it's best not to attract the attention of other countries, especially the attention of people here. We can't interfere at the government level, but public opinion must be well grasped, even if it costs more money , nor let the workers in the slums of London know that there is still an East African kingdom in the world. It is best to find more hot people, and describe Africa as horribly as possible, so that London citizens know that ghosts do not go to that poor place in Africa. Focus on the rumors of some horrible diseases, the Black Death is fine."
The power of public opinion can be manipulated, especially in capitalist countries, as long as they are willing to spend money to keep pace, the East African government is also willing to spend more money to let the British know that this region of Africa is not good, so you should not come here.
Although the London citizens in the slums cannot directly participate in the affairs of the British state, the workers' strike movement over the years has forced the British government to make changes, giving the working class the right to vote in 1867.
That is to say, the importance of public opinion will become more and more important in the future, and it will be related to the votes of the gentlemen of the British Parliament, and this will make it easier for the East African government to infiltrate.
"Free" countries are like this, capital controls public opinion, and public opinion involves votes, which will eventually affect politics, so whoever has the most capital can run amok in the large system of "free" countries. The reason why all "capitalist" countries find a voice for their own interests.
The current version of the era has not been updated to that extent. After all, it has not been tempered by different ideological opponents, so the country capital of East Africa is allowed to run rampant in the three countries of Britain, the United States and France, which is considered to be a loophole in the version.
Of course, the power of workers and small citizens must not be ignored. Britain still needs them to go to war, so they publicize the harsh climate and environment in Africa, and subconsciously tell these people not to be fooled by the British government in the future. Going to Africa is death. , Have you ever fought the disease, give strength to the future British conscription department!
