The headquarters of the World Bank on Vincent Street has been renovated, and a row of tall pine trees has been transplanted in the courtyard, isolating the headquarters from the surrounding squalid environment. Looking out from Zhu Jishi's chairman's office, the scenery is really much more pleasing to the eye.

The English July sun poured through the bright glass windows into the large teak table in the office, beside which stood three men, all dressed in straight suits and smiling, staring at a camera that looked like a wooden box across from him.

What a historic moment! This is making history! Zhu Jishi couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and thought to himself.

The reason why he thinks so is because now standing on his left and right is his good friend, Friedrich. Engels, the other one, is the number one god of GCISM, Karl. Marx!

What is? That's awesome! Marx stands on the left, Engels on the right, and himself in the middle! If this photo is passed on, and it is shown to Chairman M and Prime Minister Z decades later, I really don't know how to feel!

"Laugh one, Haole!"

The one who took the picture was Will. Haiming, looking at him like this, it is estimated that he will also be a bull in the future, either one of the ancestors of GC doctrine, or follow Zhu Jishi to do the Chinese bourgeois revolution! Since he made up his mind to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jishi has been fighting the idea of this Irishman who graduated from the Royal Military Academy in Sanchester. Since there is going to be a rebellion, then the more the better, and Will. Hemming was a "bitter hate" Irishman (really bitter and hateful, the English did not treat them as their own at all), and was expelled from the British Army, so he should be more reliable politically.

"Carl, it's great to have you in Manchester, it's been a pleasure to meet you." Zhu Jishi took Marx's hand affectionately, and his gaze swept over and over again from the face with his trademark beard. If this master knew that his doctrine was carried forward in China, North Korea, Vietnam, and Cuba, I don't know what he would be happy about!

"It should be me, sir, that you are a member of the French Academy of Sciences and a member of the Royal Society." Marx smiled modestly, and was a little unaccustomed to the enthusiasm of the great scientist and millionaire who had been knighted as a baron in front of him. He was just a newspaper editor who had just lost his job, while Zhu Jishi was an English baron and was called the greatest scientist of his time......

"Sit down, Karl, Friedrich, you all sit, Will, bring three more cups of coffee." Zhu Jishi personally pulled over two chairs and invited Marx and Engels to sit down. He didn't invite these two gods just to take a few photos for future generations.

"Karl, Friedrich, I have decided to leave for the East in January next year." When Zhu Jishi said this, there was a solemn look on his face. The things you have to do in the East are to pin your head to the waistband of your trousers, and the peace reform that was originally conceived now seems to be out of the question.

"Jason, you belong to the East, you belong to China, I wish you good luck." Engels solemnly said to Zhu Jishi.

"You are going to the East to ......" Marx and Zhu Jishi are not very familiar with each other, although the two sides have exchanged letters, this is the first time they have met.

"Go and start a revolution that overthrows the Manchu dynasty!" Zhu Jishi told Marx with a wry smile.

"Is it to establish a republic?"

"No, I think there's a good chance I'll become the monarch of a reactionary dynasty." Zhu Jishi looked at Marx and Engels and said in his heart, in their capacity as great mentors, is it too ironic to have a monarch friend?

"Monarchs are not all reactionary." Engels smiled and shook his head, he set his eyes on Marx, in fact, the two of them had only met for the second time. "Carl, what do you think? Was the overthrow of a feudal autocracy and the establishment of a new dynasty representing the interests of the bourgeoisie a revolution of positive significance? ”

"Bourgeois interests?"

Before Marx could speak, Zhu Jishi smiled bitterly, "I don't think there is a real bourgeoisie in China." ”

"I suppose there should be one, right?" Marx touched his beard and looked at Zhu Jishi.

Zhu Jishi laughed, "There is one, and that is me, a bourgeois revolutionary." ”

"It was also a bourgeois revolution!" Marx hit the nail on the head, "Jason, you yourself are a bourgeoisie and a leader of the revolution, so this is a revolution led by the bourgeoisie, and after the victory of the revolution, you will inevitably adopt many policies to promote the development of capitalism in China...... So what you are going to start is a bourgeois revolution! ”

"Will it work?" Zhu Jishi's biggest concern is probably whether he can succeed. "Am I a little less bourgeois?"

"Whether or not it succeeds depends not on the number of the bourgeoisie, but on the strength of the bourgeoisie and the strength of the feudal autocratic dynasties that hinder the revolution."

After Marx finished speaking, he took out a stack of manuscripts from the leather bag he brought and handed it to Zhu Jishi, "This is the "History of the Opium Trade" I wrote, I hope it can be helpful to you, because in my opinion, all the contradictions between the European powers and the Manchu Dynasty now revolve around the opium trade. ”

"The opium trade?" Zhu Jishi took a thick stack of manuscripts, "These are all written about the opium trade?" ”

"Where are so many," said Marx, "I have also helped you to revise On the National State, and your original views were too moderate and applied only to reform and not to revolution, and if the Tatar dynasty had adopted your opinions, your revolution would have a uncertain future." ”

Originally, in Zhu Jishi's book "On the Nation-State", a life-saving prescription was prescribed to the Manchu Dynasty, according to his point of view, if the Qing Dynasty wanted to reform, it was necessary to solve the national problem, and the way to solve the national contradiction was not "Manchu and Han family" but "not distinguishing between Manchu and Han", and the Manchu and Han nationalities were mixed into the Chinese nation. For ordinary bannermen, a one-time state bond could be issued to redeem their privileges, while the Eight Banners nobles were transformed into Chinese nobles, just like the nobles of European countries, enjoying certain privileges.

"I'm not worried about this, it's too late for the Tatars to reform even if they want to." Zhu Jishi smiled slightly and nodded gratefully at Marx, although he was not an expert in history, he also knew that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, which swept half of China and lasted for 14 years, would happen in a few years! In any case, the Manchu dynasty did not have time to carry out a radical reform before that.

"It is true, that reform is always slow," said Marx, who had not shown much interest in Zhu Jishi's bourgeois revolution, seemed to be in high spirits. "But don't underestimate the importance of the opium trade in Sino-British relations."

Hearing that Marx once again emphasized the issue of the opium trade, Zhu Jishi's face also became solemn. Marx then said: "Jason, I know that the British are very enthusiastic about supporting your school in Hong Kong, do you know that this is weishenme? ”

"Friedrich thinks they want to use me to cultivate pro-British politicians, and they may also want to stir up political strife in China."

Marx nodded and said in a deep tone: "I think opium is the most important reason, because although China was defeated in the last war, it did not abandon the policy of prohibiting the opium trade. But the huge profits of the opium trade were something that Britain was never willing to give up! In fact, opium was the only commodity that the British could import into China in large quantities to plunder silver. As a political liliang cultivated and supported by the British, he could only be consistent with the British on the issue of the opium trade.

In addition, if you are prepared to use violent means against the Qing government, you will soon run into the same problem, the British will not allow your government to ban the import of opium. When the time comes, how are you going to respond? ”

Hearing Marx's question, Zhu Jishi could only sigh, what should he do? You can't leave the British thighs and a full list of exercises, right? In fact, I am not afraid to single out the Manchus, I am afraid that the Manchus will betray the country more than themselves and make friends with them......
