Chapter 308 Infiltration

London, England.

In a snack shop on the corner of a wealthy area in London, a handsome man dressed as a British gentleman came to the 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 is somewhat inconsistent with the current style of British young people.

Although his face looks very childish, probably about seventeen or eighteen years old, his every move imitates the behavior of old British gentlemen, which is standard and elegant.

This made some of the ladies dining here call it a pity. A very handsome man looked old-fashioned in every move, as if he saw his old father suddenly appearing in front of him, which severely wiped out the love brains who wanted to " The idea of ​​a sweet love.

The young man ignored the looks of all the ladies and walked straight towards the counter. The crutch in his hand struck the wooden floor with a powerful and rhythmic sound.

He politely asked the waiter: "Sir! Do you sell starry sky pie here?"

The waiter is not too old and looks like a little boy. He claims to be from India, but his oriental face shows that he is lying. However, the diners don't care. People who come here to eat are partly because the "Indian" food here is very good. The "authentic" ones, especially the "Ecstasy Crispy Balls", are the most popular ones. They are topped with cheese, cream and honey, and the British people say they are good after eating them.

On the one hand, this "Indian" restaurant is very unique. It is said that most of the ingredients come from India, especially various secret spices, which are rich in flavor. There is also Ganges water specially transported from the Ganges River in India to London. According to the restaurant service staff It is said that the Ganges water is equivalent to holy water in India. It can wash the soul and help British people ascend to heaven after death. There is no derogatory meaning. For the British Puritans, they deserve such blessings because they are so pious.

In the end, most of the people who came here to dine were young talents from wealthy areas, especially young ladies from wealthy families. Compared with the greasy British chefs, the waiters in this restaurant are generally more handsome, and most of the service staff are from the east or west. Kong's handsome young boy is novel and eye-catching.

"Sorry, this is an Indian restaurant."

"That's such a pity. There's no chicken curry anymore?"

"Would you like the curry chicken stew sweet or salty?"

"I want something clean and hygienic."

The two of them talked one after another at the counter, and a small note was stuffed into the young gentleman's pocket.

"Have a nice meal!"

"Thanks!"

…

Evening, No. 214, Thames Street, London.

The man who appeared in the restaurant during the day was talking to another man, the owner of "Indian Snacks".

"Mr. Charles, this is a summary of the contents of the English Parliament in December this year. It mainly focuses on the Franco-Prussian and Italian-Austrian wars. In addition, Ireland is a matter of concern to half of the UK. However, Ireland is not independent after all, so it can only It's considered an internal matter of the United Kingdom." The snack bar owner handed over a thick stack of documents.

He continued: "In this year's internal meeting of the British government, regarding the focus of colonial work, South America is still the top priority, and the Suez Canal has also been mentioned. Other than that, there is almost no major attention to Africa."

The man known as "Richard" asked: "Is the source reliable?"

"We bribed a member of Parliament from the Abergavenny region in the UK. He has a close personal relationship with the current minister, so he is very aware of the internal affairs of the UK."

"You didn't show any flaws, did you?"

"Don't worry, we hired a Frenchman to work for us in the name of an American businessman. Our man lied that he wanted to develop the British market, so he was more interested in the British government's policies."

"French? Reliable?"

"We have never considered him one of our own, so we have always maintained a single line of communication. He does not know our true identity."

"We still have to be careful to arouse his suspicion. After all, we are French in the UK. It would be bad if he betrays us if he gets the idea."

"Haha, no, we know his situation very well. 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 He teamed up with another man to annex the family property, and he was kicked out of the house by the two of them. Later, he became "Oliver Twist". He has been among gangsters since he was a child, so he hates the British extremely. Later, in our Under the guise of an American upstart, he specializes in communicating with dignitaries and stealing British government intelligence. Now he can't escape this luxurious life. Once he leaves us, he will end up on the streets again."

"Well, that's good, but you have to be careful in everything. After all, you are not one of your own, so you should be careful when you should." The man named "Richard" said.

Then, he sat on the sofa and began to read the information. The entire living room fell into silence, with only the second hand ticking on the clock dial.

At this glance, it was already late at night, and "Richard" finally put down the information in his hand.

He took a brazier as if no one was there, threw the information in, and then found a candle and lit it, and the room was instantly illuminated. It was winter in London, so the fire added some warmth to the cold room.

"Richard" said: "Continue to pay close attention to the trends of the British government, and also pay attention to private newspapers and public opinions. If there are topics about the kingdom, report them in time."

"Well, don't worry. Some of our people have already infiltrated many small newspapers, and one of them has reached the position of editor-in-chief of The Times. If there is relevant content, we will get the source of the information as soon as possible."

"Very good. What the kingdom needs now is an environment for stable development, so it is best not to attract the attention of other countries, especially the attention of people here. We cannot interfere at the government level at the moment, but we must grasp the public opinion, even if we spend more money , and we can’t let the workers in the London slums know that there is an East African Kingdom in the world. It’s better to find more hot spots and describe Africa as horribly as possible, so that the citizens of London know that no ghost will go to that shabby place in Africa. Focus on the rumors of horrible diseases, including the Black Death."

The power of public opinion can be manipulated, especially in capitalist countries, as long as they are willing to spend money to set the 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 better not come here.

Although the London citizens in the slums could not directly participate in British national affairs, the workers' strike movement in recent years had forced the British government to make changes and grant the working class the right to vote in 1867.

In other words, public opinion will become more and more important in the future, related to the votes 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. In the end, it will affect politics. Therefore, whoever has the most capital can run rampant in the large system of "free" countries. This is how American capital was able to operate in the previous life. The reason why all "capitalist" countries find representatives of their own interests.

The current version of the era has not been updated to that extent. After all, it has not been tempered by opponents with different ideologies, which allows national capital such as East Africa to run rampant in Britain, the United States, and France, which can be regarded as taking advantage of the loopholes in the version.

Of course, we must not ignore the power of workers and small citizens. Britain still wants them to fight in wars. Therefore, 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 will mean death, and they can beat the indigenous people. , can you beat the disease? Strengthen the British recruitment department in the future!
