    "Dad, Russia, France, Germany, Britain, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, and Italy are preparing to hold negotiations to peacefully resolve the Armenian crisis." Graystone reported to Scrooge.  "Ah, my son, what do you think are the chances of peace?" asked Scrooge.  ¡°Dad, I don¡¯t think the chance of peace is too great. Whether it¡¯s Russia or Germany, the actual fight now is just a multiple-choice question.¡± Graystone replied with a smile.  "Well, tell me what you think," said Scrooge.  "Whether to fight a domestic war or a foreign war is a multiple-choice question." Graystone replied, "Dad, look, this is a report on Germany's domestic economic situation and workers' basic income status. It comes from here.  Look, Germany's unemployment rate is already close to 50%, and even those who are not unemployed have seen their average wages drop by more than half and a half. Now, according to Germany's price level, considering  The income and savings situation of most families in Germany is that at least half of the people in Germany consume only one-third of the food they used to eat every day. In two months at most, this proportion will rise to two-thirds.  With the coming of winter, people will starve to death and freeze to death. By that time, there will definitely be a revolution in Germany. As for Russia, they will not even last two months. Even in good times, they will have it all year round.  More than one-third of the people are hungry. Now, most of them are in a state of not having enough to eat, and their winter may come earlier. If they cannot find new markets as soon as possible, the revolution will happen.  It's inevitable." "Well, that's right. So Graystone, what do you think they will choose?" Scrooge continued.  "It is better to launch a foreign war than a civil war." Gladstone replied. "If a foreign war fails, the most likely one will become a subjugated slave. However, if foreigners want to rule effectively and plunder better, they always need to find people in their own country."  Some spokesmen. At that time, they can still be the spokesmen of foreigners, and at least they can live a good life." At this point, Graystone couldn't help but smile sarcastically, "But what will happen if there is a revolution?  What about? Not only will the proletarians rob them of all their money, but they also don¡¯t need any agents. So, if the rebels are more kind, those gentlemen will have no choice but to become workers. If they are more ruthless, they will just become workers.  It is normal to fear that the whole family will be killed. Therefore, it is better to launch a foreign war. If the foreign war fails, you can still be a subjugated slave. If you fail in the civil war, you will not be able to be a subjugated slave. ¡±  With these few words from Greystone, Scrooge suddenly remembered the Empress Dowager Cixi who had just died two years ago.  This empress dowager, Lafayette, is said to have left a heroic saying: "I would rather give to a friend than to a domestic slave."  To be honest, Cixi is a real person and is willing to tell the truth honestly.  Many years later, some nationalist believers would often criticize Cixi for this truth because she represented a Manchu government, and would further speculate that if it were a regime of the same ethnic group, it would never be like this.  of.  But in fact, in history, when class conflicts and ethnic conflicts were very fierce, rulers should not play too many "would rather give to friends than domestic slaves".  It is said that "the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country". First, Wu Sangui led Qing troops into the pass, and then Nan Ming united with the Qing Dynasty to wipe out the rogue bandits.  By the time of the Republic of China, the "perfect man of all ages" who was said to be devoted to "nurturing the righteousness of heaven and earth, and perfecting man through the ages", faced the constant invasion of Japanese invaders, also earnestly warned the people: "Perish in Japan"  , we can still be slaves to the subjugation of the country; if we die in **, we will not be able to be the slaves of the subjugation of the country." There are countless such stories throughout the ages.  "Then what are they meeting for?" Scrooge continued to ask.  "Dad, is it interesting to test me with such a simple question?" Graystone shook his head and laughed.  Scrooge laughed too.  Because this is really a simple question that has no meaning at all.  What's the meeting for?  At that time, it was to show others, to deceive people, to make those potential revolutionaries feel that this war was not the problem of the rulers on their side, and to allow the rulers to smoothly send those potential rebels to the battlefield.  Go up and deal with it and find a high-sounding excuse.  In short, this conference is definitely an annual drama with the best professional actors from all over Europe and even the world.  "I heard that Donald proposed a plan of action, but you vetoed it?" Scrooge asked.  "Yes dad." Graystone replied.  "Tell me your reasons." Scrooge frowned.  ¡°Dad, Donald is planning to stage an assassination to trigger a war. However, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s necessary at all  "Gladstone said, "If a wolf wants to eat a sheep, there will always be an excuse.  Since war is a common need for everyone, are you still worried that there is no excuse?  Why put our people at such risk?  I'm sure that even if we do nothing, someone will do it right.  ¡±????¡­??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The parties have been quarreling for several days. The Russians think that the venue should be in Petersburg, but the Turks will never agree. The Turks hope that the venue of the negotiations will be in Istanbul, but the Russians  Firmly opposed. The French said, don't make any noise, just leave it to Paris, where we often have meetings. But the Turks felt that the French had been wearing the same pants as the Russians recently, so they objected that France was not safe enough, but the Russians were better.  I also felt that Germany was too motherly So they ended up arguing for several days. They had already decided to go to Vienna, but who knew that a general strike broke out there. As a result, they were in a hurry again.  Finally, it was decided to hold the meeting in Venice, Italy. In two days, the meeting was about to begin. Yakov and Akhmatova were walking along a stone bridge near the venue.  Yakov is an Armenian who has been living in exile in Europe and is a member of the Armenian independence movement. Not long ago, he received bad news about his entire family, including his father, mother, wife, eldest son, second daughter, and third son.  The eldest brother, the eldest sister-in-law, the second brother, the second sister-in-law, the fourth sister, the eldest nephew, the second niece all the members of the family were killed by the Turks. This is absolutely true, because of the famous picture in the newspaper.  A thug held a bloody machete high in one hand, and held the head of a five or six-year-old child in the other hand. He was cheering crazily. Next to him, several Turkish policemen were holding their hands, showing appreciation.  In the photo with a smiling face, he recognized at a glance that the man whose head was being killed by the Turkish thugs was his third son. ¡°No matter what, these murderers must pay the price!  Even if his body is broken into pieces!  I'm going to send these bastards to hell too!  If I can't do this, let me sink in hell forever!  "After seeing the photo, Yakov cried bitterly. After crying, he made up his mind. It was not difficult to get a gun. Soon Yakov got a submachine gun. Within two weeks,  Come, every night, Yakov stroked this cold submachine gun for a long time. His movements were extremely gentle, just like stroking his deceased wife and children. He stroked the cold barrel of the gun at the same time.  , while gently calling the names of his father, mother, wife and children, until the barrel of the gun became as hot as his heart. Five days ago, a friend who also lost a loved one told him the final location of the meeting.  It is confirmed that in Venice, a Turkish pasha, who is said to have the blood of Armenians and other Orthodox Christians on his hands, will represent the sultan. ¡°They will go to the venue in a bulletproof car.  "The friend said, "The specific route is not very clear yet.  You know, ever since Pantsev blew up the Turkish embassy, ??may his soul be truly comforted, the Turks have been very careful.  Especially those devils with blood on their hands.  The submachine guns you and I prepared cannot penetrate such a bulletproof vehicle.  Therefore, our plans must be modified.  "    "All right.  Yakov said, "Sergey, do you have any ideas?"  " "I think that if you want to kill bulletproof cars, you can only rely on large bombs.  "Sergey said, "You have to cross a bridge to enter the main venue, and all the cars have to cross there.  And you have to slow down when you get there.  We ambush them right there and demand justice for our brothers and sisters!  " "Sergey, tell me, what do you want me to do?  "Yakov's eyes sparkled. "Yakov, you have to give me the gun. Szymborska and I are the young man with light hair. You should also know each other.  "Sergey said. "Yes, I know him. He is a good young man.  Yakov said, "Tell me what you are going to do?"  " "Yakov, my brother, don't be anxious, listen to me.  "Sergey said," Shmboska and I attacked first with submachine guns. By that time, the attention of those policemen and others would definitely be attracted.  And you?  Well, you know, ordinary grenades are not guaranteed to blow up bulletproof cars, so we need to prepare a large explosive pack, just like one used to blow up bunkers.  Then you're responsible for throwing it to the car.  " "But, such a big thing can be easily discovered.  "Yakov frowned. "I asked Akhmatova to cooperate with you.  Sergey thought for a while and said, "You pretend to be a couple who just moved to the neighborhood, and I will also find a way to lend you a child. Well, Aldir's youngest son is only two months old."  Just in time to use.  These days, you and Akhmatova push him for a walk near the stone bridge in a stroller every day.When the day comes, just put the explosive bag inside the stroller and close the tent of the stroller What do you think of this?  Just to ensure the killing, we may need to put a little more explosives, so you have to be careful to throw them far away, otherwise it will be easy to blow up your own.  " "That's it.  Yakov said, "I will protect Akhmatova as much as possible."  As for me, you don¡¯t have to worry"
