In Geneva, the Swiss city of Queens has gathered to prepare for the development of the United Nations Charter.

In fact, most of the UN Charter has been discussed and finalized by the ministerial meeting, and the gods and big leaders have just come to go through the motions.

In Geneva, Lin Youde finally met Charlotte, who had stepped down from the presidency.

"Now that we have nothing to do with state affairs, we can communicate more openly, right, Miss Charlotte."

"You're really embarrassed to say that you have nothing to do with state affairs." Charlotte sighed, "It has nothing to do with state affairs, are you here to visit Geneva?" ”

"Why not, isn't it beautiful to see this view of Lake Geneva?"

At this time, Lin Youde and Charlotte were staying on the terrace of the villa on the shore of Lake Geneva, which was a newly purchased asset by Lin Youde a few months ago. He is also going to buy a castle in the mountains of Switzerland, and the current photo is the castle used to shoot "Sherlock Holmes 2" in another time and space, but the castle in this time and space belongs to the Swiss royal family, so it is not so easy to buy.

Charlotte looked at the scenery outside the terrace and nodded in agreement: "Just looking at the scenery is indeed very good, but you already have a lot of residences with magnificent views like this, Mr. Lin, don't you?" I've heard that the view of the Eagle's Nest is quite good. ”

"Yes, the view is amazing, I love going there on vacation."

Originally, the German government was going to use the Eagle's Nest as a summer resort and a welcoming home for the German president, but Lin Youde played a small trick when he built the Eagle's Nest, which was a private property from the beginning - although a lot of German state power was used in the construction.

Lin Youde now occupies two properties that should belong to the German government, one of the Eagle's Nest and the other Sanssouci Palace, but the situation of Sanssouci Palace and the Eagle's Nest is different. According to the constitution of the German Republic, the state should provide the goddess with a residence that is in line with the status of the goddess, and the Sanssouci Palace and its outbuildings, as the residence of many goddesses, are occupied by Lin Youde in full compliance with the spirit of the German constitution.

Of course, the land around Sanssouci Palace was bought by Lin Youde through legal means, so the former German emperor's dormitory, which was surrounded by Lin Youde's private land, naturally became part of Lin Youde's private land.

Outside of Germany, Lin Youde also owns some very attractive real estate, such as the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, when the annexation of Austria-Hungary, Lin Youde did his tricks, the Schönbrunn Palace Museum is now a private museum, the owner is naturally Lin Youde, the whole palace itself is a treasure of architectural art, and the museum collection of artworks that originally belonged to the Habsburg Dynasty are also priceless, these belong to Lin Youde.

In addition, Lin Youde also had real estate in Italy, in Venice he took down the holiday villa that once belonged to Mussolini, and in Rome he bought an entire building next to the ancient Colosseum.

Lin Youde didn't have this kind of leisure before the crossing, at that time he wasn't sure if he would have enough money to buy a house, and he didn't think about the artistry and architectural value of the house at all.

Now Lin Youde doesn't have to worry about this at all, and the Deutsche mark, which is now extremely strong in the world, is printed by him, and he doesn't feel distressed at all when he uses it.

Lin Youde thought about it, and simply bought the palace in Baghdad as his own property, but in the desert of Baghdad, he was not sure if he wanted to live there, and it didn't seem good to spend money in vain.

Lin Youde now has a little experience of the feeling of being rich in Dubai in another time and space, and he doesn't have to chop his hands to spend money, which is really great.

Charlotte looked at Lin Youde and sighed: "You hypocrite, on the one hand, you encourage the people and propagate that ordinary people are the most important wealth in this society, and on the other hand, you exploit ordinary people to satisfy your own selfish desires, even among capitalists, you are the worst guy, other capitalists at least match their words and deeds, and you are a bastard on the inside and a greedy bastard on the outside, while you, disguise yourself as the savior of the poor, but you enjoy all the glory and wealth." ”

"You can't say that," Lin Youde spread his hands, "I do make life better for the poor, so it's not a problem to say that I'm their savior." I'm also trying to make money to the people who follow me, who have free health care - I provide - free education - or I provide - and free housing - and in the end I still provide it, and I can't let everyone live in a palace like Sanssouci that is huge, beautifully built and has a lot of art, but I at least let most of the people who follow me live in spacious and clean apartment buildings. You really should visit Potsdamer Neustadt. ”

After the end of the war, Lin Youde began to implement the Potsdam Neustadt Project, which was part of a number of plans to house unemployed workers and unemployed veterans from the post-war economic adjustment.

"Actually, there is a capitalist in the United States who has done something similar to me, and that is Mr. Ford. He raised the average wages of workers and offered a new way of easing social contradictions, but other capitalists seemed to see this as heresy, believing that Ford was a left-leaning bastard. ”

"I don't deny that the capitalists in America are more assholes than you," Charlotte shrugged, "I'm just upset with your hypocrisy." For example, the exculpation you just made, and you said so much, can't change the fact that you have huge assets. The difference between you and the emperor now is that the emperor's power is on the surface, everyone knows that he is the emperor, and once something goes wrong, they know that he is responsible, and they will find him to vent their dissatisfaction when they accumulate to a certain extent. And you, hiding behind the scenes, disguised yourself and pushed the scapegoat to the forefront. The current president of Germany is pitiful, and the history of the future will only blame him for all the problems that arose in the first years of the post-war years. ”

"That's what smart people do. We have a saying in China that makes a lot of money with a muffled voice, and I don't say anything, which is the best thing to do. But I see that the people are so enthusiastic that it is not good not to say a word, so I will respond to the call of the people. Miss Charlotte, you have to make one thing clear. The people actually want a hero to save themselves, they don't really care if the hero is a rich man or a poor man.

"In the Internationale I wrote, it is said that there has never been a savior, nor does it depend on the emperor of the gods, this is my personal wish, and I have hoped for a long, long time ago that the people can stand up completely and everyone will become their own savior. However, human beings are inert, and the qiē I have seen over the years are telling me that most human beings actually prefer to lie down and wait for someone to save. If no one comes to save them, they have to get by, and then sigh that the bad luck is not good, this is the real human being. ”

In the face of Lin Youde's statement, Charlotte wanted to speak and stopped.

Lin Youde continued: "I am a little older than you, Charlotte, and for some reason that I can't explain to you, I have experienced more things and seen more than you. I'm telling you about it today as an elder! I haven't been a head of state, but I've seen too much...... I have to tell you a little bit about it, the experience of life. Fifteen years ago, I naively believed that the eyes of the masses of the people were bright, that the masses of the people would only be blinded for a while, and that in the end they would still see through the truth. But after more than ten years, I found that this is not right at all. ”

Strange to say, before Lin Youde crossed, few people in society believed in the statement that "the eyes of the people are bright", after all, there are too many examples in front of them.

The people were incited against what they could not understand, even against what should be understandable in Lin Youde's opinion.

For example, opposing the construction of new substations, new wireless signal base stations, and then scolding the power supply bureau when the power supply is unstable, and scolding the mobile operator when the signal is bad, these nonsensical things are all done by an unspecified majority of people called the people.

However, Lin Youde still believes that the masses of the people can see some things clearly, as long as they explain the reason clearly to them. So when he first crossed over, he believed that he could explain his ideals to the masses of the people and make them understand. But soon, he realized that he was wrong.

The masses of the people don't care about the future vision, when you speak, they only care about the passion you show, as long as your speech is infectious, they will chant after you. They are simply manipulated by mere oratorical skills and expressive power. At other times, what affects the unspecified majority of the people is mainly firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

Therefore, the ancient Chinese could see clearly that the five words "the people take food as the sky" accurately summarized the most basic characteristics of the masses.

Whoever can feed the masses is a virtuous king and a wise king, as for whether this person is really virtuous or not, as for what grand plans he has, the masses don't care.

Even if the guy who feeds the people is a bastard with a small belly, the people will sing his praises.

In the years since the crossing, Lin Youde has had a very profound experience of this. Originally, he was worried that he would be hacked if he lived such a rich and corrupt life, but such worries have never come true in the past ten years.

Lin Youde finally understood why Napoleon could be emperor in the social atmosphere of the French Revolution.

Only Beethoven, who has long been no longer a member of the "masses of the people", would angrily tear up the music composed for Napoleon because Napoleon was proclaimed emperor, and ordinary people would only shout "Long live the emperor" excitedly.

Therefore, if you want the people to sing your praises and love you all the time, the key is not that you have any dreams, only the mentor of XX The Voice will care, the key is that you should respond to the needs of the people and meet the growing needs of the people.

As long as you can do this, even if the people have some complaints about you, it will always be just complaints, and no one will rise up and shout "Mo Dao Shiren has one eye".

After Lin Youde finished muttering, Charlotte looked at him calmly.

"I think you're right." Charlotte said, "Although I despise you as a hypocrite, my opinion of the people is basically close to yours. That's why you're a nuisance, and I'm just as annoying as you are. ”

"No, at least you don't have as much of a pocket as I have—yes, that's the word, a lot of money." Lin Youde spread his hands, "But now, I am trying to use the wealth gathered in my hands to do things that are useful to all mankind. This is the best way I can give back to the masses of people who have been deceived and manipulated by me. ”

Lin Youde's words were extremely firm.

Charlotte smiled and asked rhetorically, "For example, get some children to do your body?" ”

Lin Youde also smiled.

"How much do you know?"

In fact, not much, American intelligence experts believe that it is a human modification program similar to the Spartan project, and the British believe that it may be some kind of biological weapons program. We or the British, which one guessed right? ”

"The British guessed right." Lin Youde replied without hesitation.

"It turned out to be a plan to transform people," Charlotte didn't hesitate to see through Lin Youde's lie that he didn't cover up at all, "Don't you think it's too much?" ”

"I said, I'm doing what's good for humanity. This is part of our great quest. ”

"I thought the great exploration you were talking about was deep space exploration."

Lin Youde spread his hands: "Of course, deep space exploration is also great exploration, and I can tell you that my experts plan to carry out a manned flight before 1957, and then launch the probe to the moon around 1960." By the end of the 1960s, humans will be on the moon. ”

Charlotte stared at Lin Youde, looked at it for a while, and then asked, "How do you go up?" Hit it with a cannonball, or fly it with a strange anti-gravity ball? ”

"I prefer Verne to Wells." Lin Youde shrugged, "But I don't think we will land on the moon with Mr. Verne's idea." ”

"Do you expect me to believe the timetable you say?" Charlotte asked, frowning.

Lin Youde just spread his hands: "I guarantee that what I just said is not a trace of falsehood." ”

"Since you are so honest, it is better to tell me that you have done the ultimate goal of the disabled children."

"Didn't you already guess that this is an extension of the Spartan plan," at this time, Lin Youde really began to say something, "Among those newborns, there will be future super soldiers, with superhuman abilities, and they are not afraid of pain, even if they are shot through the chest, they will not die immediately, they will continue to fight until they are crushed." ”

Charlotte stared at Lin Youde suspiciously, and after a moment she shook her head: "Forget it, let's not talk about this issue." What are you going to do in the Middle East? ”

"Of course, it's about building a new Chinese nation." Lin Youde shrugged, "The Arabs can drive the Sumerians away and establish a state in the two river valleys, then we Chinese can do the same." Isn't it? ”

"Do you think that the justified Arab rule in this region can be denied from history by virtue of that newly unearthed mausoleum?"

"At that time, the British even paid attention to the mausoleum and directly overturned the legitimate rule of the natives, how can you say that? Didn't you Americans, too, exterminate the Indians, the rightful and legitimate rulers of the vast North American continent? It was only when he finally realized that he wanted to protect the Indians to ensure the supply of the gods, and then he thought of drawing a reservation for the Indians. ”

Charlotte's face was pale.

However, apparently she had expected that Lin Youde would use this incident to attack her, so she immediately returned to normal.

"Don't expect that rhetoric will work at international conferences." She said in a deep voice.

Lin Youde spread his hands: "Of course, deep space exploration is also great exploration, and I can tell you that my experts plan to carry out a manned flight before 1957, and then launch the probe to the moon around 1960." By the end of the 1960s, humans will be on the moon. ”
