"York, wake up. Guta pushed him out of bed with all his might, "Okay today, all the major London newspapers have come to interview you." ”

York opened his eyes in a daze, "What interview?"

"You are the hero who saved the crew of the Lucky in distress, and it is said that it is very valuable to report, and it is only natural that the newspaper will interview you. ”

"It's not my fault, is it? ”

"If you don't think you've saved someone, why do they invite you to drink to celebrate your escape when you get to London, and you go every time?"

"This ...... I think it's just a reunion of friends. ”

"Don't talk so much, hurry up and get dressed and come with me!" Guta urged, "This time, Mr. Ji has helped you invite the name of the city's journalism industry, don't let people wait." ”

York staggered to the downstairs of the hotel by Guta, where he saw rows of well-dressed gentlemen sitting in the hall, and many camera racks standing on the ground.

"Gentlemen, this is the hero who turned the tide alone after the wreck of the Lucky. ”

Ji Aojian, who had been waiting here for a long time, saw the protagonist appear, and immediately took the lead in applauding, and then the applause around him rang out, and the camera equipment was opened one by one, and the twenty-minute exposure began.

York was dumbfounded, "Alone?"

Ji Aojian ignored him and was still introducing to reporters, "You may not know how incredible and legendary Mr. York is to save those who are in distress. ”

Someone in the front row asked, "What kind of legendary method?"

"Mr. York wasn't actually a passenger on the Lucky. Ji Aojian's loud voice echoed in the hall. "He was smuggled onto the boat!"

"What, such a thing?"

Surprise was written on the faces of the reporters. "It's a really lucky thing for Lucky. ”

"Why did Mr. York smuggle it? Because he had something important to do and had to rush to Europe. As for what exactly this is, that's another topic. We won't get into that today. ”

Ji Aojian returned to the topic, "Let's talk about the Lucky, after York secretly got on the ship, it was soon discovered. Since he didn't buy a ticket, the crew was going to throw him off the boat and sink in the sea!"

There was another exclamation around them, "If you do this, the lucky number will be finished!"

"Of course, nothing like this happened. Mr. Yorke was a man of great wisdom and courage, and he offered to do odd jobs on board the ship as a means of compensating for his fare, and at last he was able to reluctantly stay on board the Lucky, but was bullied and beaten by the crew every day. ”

"So that's what happened?"

"Then it was Lucky who ran into a giant whale and was sunk. Details about this whale are also a topic for another time. We'll talk about that later. ”

"So how did Mr. York save a shipwreck?"

"York was a well-educated, very learned man, he had sailed many times before, and he was very familiar with the currents, monsoons, etc. Ji Aojian said endlessly. "At the time of the shipwreck of the Fortune, Mr. York stepped forward and rowed a small boat alone. Head to one of the busiest routes in the North Atlantic and hope to find a passing ship. This will save everyone. ”

The reporters praised that "such a clear decision can be made at a critical juncture." What a man he was as brave as he was wise!"

York muttered, "I didn't leave alone, there were four people in the boat......"

"Those background characters can be ignored. Ji Aojian interrupted him, "The point is that you are rowing alone, right?"

"That's right......"

"That's right. Ji Aojian continued to say to the reporters, "Mr. York resolutely stepped forward, relied on his rich knowledge of the ocean, took a right direction, and sure enough, he waited for a passing big ship and successfully rescued all the people who fell into the water on the Lucky!"

The applause rang out again enthusiastically, several times louder than the previous one.

"When the people who were rescued, especially the sailors who had bullied York, asked why York was so persistent and determined to rescue them. I have always been a devout servant of God, and I must awaken all the lost lambs for my lord, and I have always believed that tolerance and kindness are the most important things in life. ”

"It's amazing, it's really shocking, full of positive energy!"

"Mr. York, you have moved England, no, the whole world!"

......

Ji Aojian nodded, "The next is free question time, if you still need any details, you can talk to Mr. York directly." ”

A few hours later, an exhausted Yorke finally finished the reporters' endless digging and watched them leave satisfied.

"Sir, why are you inviting so many people here?"

After resting for a while, York complained to Ji Aojian.

"York, the Lucky is a large cruise ship that has many routes between Europe and North America, and has a high reputation. "Ji Ao Kendo," so the sinking of the Lucky will be a topic that the public will be talking about in the future. As a hero who saves the crew of the ship, you are bound to become a world celebrity. ”

“......”

"What's wrong?"

"Sir, I suddenly realized that I didn't really want to be a world celebrity. ”

"No, York. Ji Aojian said earnestly, "You must become a world celebrity now." ”

"Why?"

"What are you doing in Europe?"

"I was helping my father finance the South and prepare for a possible war after independence. ”

"That's right. Ji Aojian smiled and said, "Why did you South secede from the United States because you want to maintain slavery. ”

"......," said York, who was silent for a moment, sighed, "that is indeed the case. ”

"The reputation of slavery, you should know that it is very unpleasant in the world, and Europeans have often used this to criticize the United States in the past, do you think public opinion will support lending to you?"

York lowered his head and said, "I don't think it's going to support much." ”

"So, the most important thing you need to do is to try to reverse the negative image of public opinion and create a positive image, which will help you to carry out your lending activities. Ji Aojian paused, "Now you can just become a hero who moves the world, an image ambassador who can represent the south, do you want to waste such a precious opportunity?"

"Sir, I see what you mean. York's eyes flashed with a twinkle, but he quickly hesitated, "Even if everyone agrees that I saved the people on the Lucky, it doesn't automatically recognize slavery in the South." ”

"Saving the Lucky is certainly not the same as endorsing slavery, but you're off to a good start, aren't you?"

Ji Ao Kendao, "When the public is most interested in you and has the most favorable impression, you should hurry up to defend the system in the south, this is the best time." ”

York was stunned, "How do you defend this?"

"Well, how to do it, let's talk about it now. (To be continued......)
