C3200 Reasoning

No matter how virtuous and noble Yu Guo was, no matter how much he acted in Manchu, he could not change the fact that he was a Frenchman.

Even though he had been exiled by his own country for twenty years, this old man still loved his own homeland. He naturally knew what Xiang Ying said was reasonable, but he still had to provide an explanation.

"Is this not the end? The empire has collapsed and Napoleon III, who declared war against you all, has already been captured.

"The culprit that started this war has already been executed. Doesn't this count as the end of the war?"

"Of course not!" Xiang Ying said in a righteous tone, "Please do not secretly change the concept that a war between nations is never something one or two people can be responsible for!"

"The rewards and consequences of war should be borne by all the people who made up this country!"

"I know what you mean. What you're saying is that the people are innocent. They don't have the right to start a war!"

"That's right, they don't have the right to start a war, but they do have the right to promote it! Even if it's not 100% of the people, there will definitely be a lot of people who support the war and hope to get its dividends! "

Yu Guo loudly shouted, "Innocent people cannot bear the guilt for no reason! The ones who waged war were the emperor, the nobles, and the greedy capitalists.

"They are just a minority within the France! The vast majority of the people are against war, and they should not be treated like this! "

Xiang Ying is someone who is courteous to you but is also courteous to him. If you want to be tit for tat, even if he respects you, he will still want to take revenge on you!

Even if you are a world-famous literary person, you still can't "Sir!" The Führer had once said, there are no ghosts under the sun! Just how many people in this world are truly kind? "

"You say that the majority of the poor people are against war? "Hehe, if I were to say that they are not opposed to the war, but rather that their lives are numb and they don't even know how to make a sound!"

"These people are trapped in their own lives and they never look at the road. That they have no greed in their hearts? I don't believe it! "

"Even if they don't have a vote during the voting for the war, it doesn't mean that they don't have any thoughts of taking advantage of the war rewards!"

Xiang Ying raised his hand to stop Mr. Yu Guo who was just about to start a fight: "The dividends of war are only distributed unfairly, but there is no reason for us to not get it!"

"You are an elder and are very familiar with the economic activities of the world. There are some examples that you understand immediately!"

"Who got the money plundered by France from China? "First the emperor, then the nobles, then the military officers, then the capitalists, and finally the ordinary soldiers …"

"These people are going to get the dividends of the first wave, aren't they?"

"And these trophies, the children who mopped their shoes on the street, the workers who unloaded the coal in the factory, the women who worked in the spinning mill... "The poor people won't get it!"

"On the surface, this logic seems very bewitching, making it difficult for others to refute it. However, the Head of the Guards had long seen through everything!"

"Those emperors, generals, capitalists, soldiers of the Expeditionary forces! They were not automatons, they were natural beings who needed to consume life! The war dividends are ultimately going to be spent on society! "

"Originally, French society did not have this 100 million worth of wealth, but the final 100 million they plundered would still be transferred to this society, and it would flow through your France or Europe!"

"What you said is unfair. It's just a matter of whether the money is in the first or second hand. It's just a matter of whether it is in the third hand!"

"The shoeshine boy might not have guessed that a franc he received was stolen from distant China!"

"The women in the textile factory, I wonder how much of the salary the capitalists paid her was a war dividend!"

"Even the tips of the prostitutes on the streets, who receive soldiers, are stained with Chinese blood!"

"In capitalist society, money is always in operation. The plundered wealth will become railways and bridges, schools for children, hospitals for doctors …"

"Some of the public works that would have needed to be funded from the Treasury tax could be paid off with war dividends... "Then how can you say that the people who will enjoy these public works in the future have not enjoyed the dividends of war?"

"Even if it's just a bridge, as long as he was built using gold coins stained with the blood of the Chinese, every person in the France that passes by would be able to enjoy the dividends of an aggressive war!"

"Why not? Honorable Mr. Yu Guo, your knowledge is as vast as this ocean... It's not like you don't understand this logic, right? "

"Or are you caught up in a nationalist plot and starting to think about things from your position?"

Upon hearing that, Wei Keduoyuguo's face turned red, if not for the cover from his white beard, he would have been embarrassed to stand here.

"Captain, do you mean to extort a large amount of war reparations from France? You're not going to withdraw your troops until you get the money? "

"Sir! Please understand that we didn't start the war! As for the compensation, it was a matter of course! Since enjoying the war rewards is a matter of the entire population of France, then the punishment for the war will ultimately be borne by the entire nation! "

"Napoleon III has surrendered, is this debt settled already? You must be joking, you speak as if the people of this country did not get any dividends from the war! "

"Sir, please do not regard us Chinese as country bumpkins in feudal society! For this capitalist world, our research is no worse than yours! "

"Now! I can answer you for sure! There had to be war reparations! Our Chinese people's decision will endure the test of history! "

"Justice is in the hearts of the people, why should we care about this!"

Wei Keduoyuguo lowered his head in silence, the sea breeze blew against his hair, causing his beard to flutter non-stop. But from what I know, General Trochu has already signed a surrender agreement with you guys. "Why are we still lingering …"

"No, no, no …" "Sir, it seems that you have just returned home. You are not clear about the details at all!"

"General Trochu, Prussia and the Chinese have signed the provisional surrender draft! This is not the final treaty! "

"Furthermore, Trochu's promise of compensation was not fulfilled at all. The draft clearly states that the occupying forces will only leave French territory after the compensation has been paid in full!"

"Finally, General Trochu no longer has authority over France. Now, we are also waiting for the final result of the Bordeaux election!"

"Does the new French government recognize the draft? Do I need to change it? If not, how long will it take to transfer the money? "

"These are all practical problems! You want us to leave without settling the matter? "

"Haha, I am truly sorry. The Chinese are not those hypocrites who only know how to take advantage of others. "We must pay attention to the actual benefits, so don't talk about moral kidnapping anymore!"
