Berkeley took a breath, subconsciously wiped the sweat with his sleeves, and then said after calming down: "There are indeed some among them... but we can analyze it calmly.
Maybe many of these so-called infringements are not actually infringements. They may just be mutual consent, or they may just be exchanges where each gets what he wants.
You have to know that the students at Jili University are very attractive to the opposite sex around them. And the people here don’t care too much about their concepts..."
The sexual concepts of many indigenous residents here may not be described as "open", but rather "unrestrained".
Some people say that this is a traditional cultural characteristic, but according to Shen Zhuangyuan's point of view, this characteristic is not suitable to be described by the word "culture", let alone the traditional meaning, but a simple "forward" cultural status”.
This "pre-cultural state" is difficult to change through simple knowledge or skill learning, but requires the formation and establishment of new cultural customs through the evolution of social lifestyles and public ethical identity.
But no matter what, this status quo exists. For example, Charles himself was a little unable to control his belt at first, but later deliberately restrained himself in this aspect. Therefore, some of Berkeley's words cannot be said to be complete. There is no basis.
Charles asked coldly: "Mr. President, do you still want to say that it is even an honor for these girls to have the opportunity to interact with and have relations with the most noble elites in the country?"
Then would you say that most of them are just seeking benefits for each other, and this is their problem? But our questionnaire surveyors are not idiots and know the difference between aggression and normal interactions!
There was only one question in the interview survey. Did the person being asked have any experience of having sex with a student at Jili University despite not wanting to do so due to various other reasons?
The statistical result is that they all exist! Among these thirteen thousand people, the youngest is only ten years old.
Think about where such a list comes from? It means that no pretty girl, even if she is only ten years old, has escaped the clutches of the devil.
I would like to tell you another situation. The statisticians did not know what Shen Xiucai wanted to investigate at the beginning, so they did not mark girls who were too young. The youngest age of those marked was ten years old.
Around Jili University, there is the best brothel in Mowang City and even the entire country of Jili. However, these scumbags did not have enough trouble in the brothel, and ran out to harm everyone on the list... Please listen carefully, It’s everyone!”
Berkeley caught a key word, raised his hand and asked: "Have you even counted the prostitutes?"
Charles: "I know what you're thinking, but I want to tell you three things.
First, the new alliance has publicly banned all brothels, and there are no prostitutes left here.
Secondly, most of the girls in the brothels near Jili University are not from the local neighborhoods and have returned to their original neighborhoods after liberation. They account for a very small proportion in this statistics.
Third, even if they are prostitutes, if they are forced to have sex with them when they do not want to do business, it is still an intrusion in nature.
The scope of our statistics is only the people in a few surrounding blocks. They are neither the lowest class in the country nor the top class in the city.
There are also some people on the list who are also the wives or daughters of government officials, and some are even relatives of students or graduates. With their status, ordinary students of Jili University cannot move, or they dare not move. of.
But in this society where bullying is commonplace, students will bully students. There are always some extraordinary school students, a small group of children from the top families in the pyramid, who can do whatever they want, so they have not escaped the clutches of the devil.
I just told you a survey result. Do you still want to know the number of casualties caused by students from Jili University in the surrounding neighborhoods over the years?
Unfortunately, there is currently no statistics, and our manpower and energy are not unlimited.
After Shen Zhuangyuan conducted this survey, someone told him that he had made the mistake of personal empiricism. Why did he only count women? If men were also counted, the numbers would definitely shock him!
Shen Zhuangyuan was disgusted after hearing this. We don’t have this number either. But the working group of Jili University got other data. Mr. President, do you know how many student dormitories there are in this university?"
The new question was so abrupt that Berkeley could only ask: "How much?"
Charles: "You have improved the accommodation conditions since you took office. Not to mention the staff dormitories, students live in four-person rooms with bathrooms. There are 1,682 rooms in total. Currently, 1,560 rooms are in use. Three rooms.
Among these 1,563 dormitories, guess how many were in which the working team did not find drugs?"
Berkeley: "I can't guess."
Charles: "Two hundred and seventy-six dormitories, only these two hundred and seventy-six dormitories, no drugs were found this time. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there were drugs before, but they happened to be used up or taken away now. Condition.
Jili University strictly prohibits students from bringing guns into the campus. This rule is fairly well enforced. We only found 153 guns in 89 dormitories, most of which were pistols, but it was scary enough. !
Most students do not bring guns to campus, but they also have guns outside campus. Currently, there are 6,217 students on campus, and 4,996 of them have other residences outside campus, some of which have been purchased. Houses have been acquired, some of which are long-term rentals.
Some people come to school with servants and bodyguards, and these people live in that kind of place. Then the working team found a total of 8,316 long and short firearms in nearly 5,000 off-campus residences.
I wonder if these students and their bodyguards and servants possess so many firearms in the surrounding neighborhoods, are they not out to be peaceful and help the masses?"
Berkeley said weakly: "Couldn't it be to protect yourself?"
Hua Zhenxing asked mercilessly: "If it is just to protect yourself, then let me ask you, how dangerous a place have you put this university?"
These people you care about, value highly, and place high hopes on all have another identity. Their families are in charge of major forces and jointly control this country. But there is almost no safe place in this country."
Berkeley's back was hunched, and his expression and tone were like a primary school student in front of the teacher, trying to explain why he did this for a certain assignment and what he thought when he did it.
He mentioned a lot of things in that long letter. Why did he insist on repeatedly struggling with the issue of Gilly University and making various excuses? Because the propaganda documentary I just watched did not mention Gilly University.
And as far as Berkeley knows, the New Alliance has not founded another university so far, and it is impossible for it to be founded in time. So in his subconscious, this is the last line of defense to defend his proud achievements.
He wiped his sweat and seemed to be still immersed in his own thoughts. He thought for a while and then said: "Who has never been young? Young people will always make various mistakes. If you make a mistake, you will pay the price."
Charles: "Zhang San made a mistake, will Li Si pay the price?"
Young people? The average age of these 6,217 school students is 22 years old, which is the same as me. In this country, they are definitely not considered young!
After listening to your words, I realized that I had also made an empiricist mistake. They are not just the second generation of some evil forces, but they are already part of the evil group."
Berkeley: "If what you said is true, I did not manage this university well."
Charles: "No one can manage such a university alone in such a country."
Berkeley lowered his head slightly: "Schools are places where people are taught knowledge and life wisdom. No matter what, they still receive professional training. At least some of them have mastered the knowledge this country needs."
Charles: "You don't need to explain anything anymore. You just told me that idealists should also respect reality. What I'm talking about is the actual situation.
I am not biased, among the senior leaders of our new alliance, there are also graduates from several miles university."
Education not only teaches people knowledge, but also cognition. In addition to those skills and principles, what is more important is the people who master these skills and principles. What kind of people do they become, and what path do they choose to take?
In my opinion, the education you received, like the education they received, is problematic. You are all learning how to become people like you, but the purpose of the new alliance is to make this country no longer have you.
Such a person!"
Berkeley was still very reluctant and said: "But, but, all my actions are for the sake of this country."
Charles smiled: "You have no idea about institutional issues, and you seem to want to talk about specific academic issues. So let me ask you, in such an agricultural and pastoral country, what is the most important specific work to improve the economy and people's livelihood? Of course it is water conservancy.
construction.
But you spent half of the national education funds to build a university that doesn’t even have a water conservancy engineering major! Of course, I also know the reason. Even if there is such a major, it’s probably useless.
Because during your term of office, not a single large-scale farmland water conservancy project was built in the entire country of Kilili and in the two states controlled by the Hope Front.
In the letter you wrote to me, you claimed that you strongly encourage the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, saying that it is currently the economic pillar of the country. Well, no matter who you are, you will come to this conclusion as long as you see the rough statistics.
Then your move is to vigorously open the market, then open the market again, promote trade circulation, and use demand to stimulate production.
This gives me the feeling that the New Alliance has opened supply and marketing cooperatives in various places, which can easily purchase various agricultural and animal husbandry products, and then these products come out one after another? People cheer for joy, and the more they produce, the more they produce?
In a country with such uneven rainfall, it is necessary to consolidate and develop agriculture and animal husbandry without building water conservancy at all!
Maybe you have thought about it, but it is too difficult to do it, and even impossible in the country under your rule, so you have taken measures that you think are easier to do.
According to Da Jinzi of our new alliance, you are actually not even at the level of a section chief or a township chief. I know you don’t quite understand, and I don’t really understand him either, but I can understand what he means.
Speaking of talents, I know very well how urgently this country is in need. Otherwise, how could the New Alliance spend so much money to hire so many Dongguo aid workers?
You think you are wholeheartedly thinking about this country, but you are just self-motivated, but it cannot move me at all, otherwise I would not be sitting in front of you today.
You repeatedly emphasized in your letter that the current system in Kilili Country is close to perfection. In the final analysis, most of the problems in this country are the failure to effectively implement this system.
Mr. President, have you ever heard of pyramid schemes?”
Berkeley was stunned, what is the problem? Charles raised his head again and seemed to look into the distance and said: "I have heard that Shen Zhuangyuan introduced it to me, and he also conducted special investigations when he was in Dongguo.
There is a kind of person who tells others that they only need to master a very simple method and learn a kind of speaking skills, and they do not need to work down-to-earth anymore, while they can control huge amounts of money and realize their dreams in life.
Do you believe it? I know you don’t believe it, so how is this possible?
But there is another kind of person in the world who will tell you that if you govern a country according to a set of ready-made system models provided by them, you can make everyone happy. Do you believe this?
If happiness is so simple, why do we continue to suffer? Of course, our suffering cannot be felt by Mr. President. It is also caused by you and people like you.
I just talked about two types of pyramid schemes. The former is a commercial pyramid scheme, an economic cult, and the latter is a political pyramid scheme, an institutional cult. What is the purpose of all MLM promoters? Do they really bring happiness to everyone?
No, no, no, they just want to reap the benefits.
The world they live in is just like the noble neighborhood where you live, Mr. President, and the university paradise you built; and the world we live in, just like where I once lived, is like hell on earth.
Don’t you understand? Such a system is what establishes this kind of system. In the country of Kyili, I was in the lowest neighborhood, but in this world, the country of Kyili is equivalent to the lowest neighborhood.
It's not even the lowest level neighborhood, it's just a filthy garbage dump.
You suggested that I continue to maintain such a system, such a system. But my goal is to break away from it and break it in the future..."
Charles' tone no longer sounded like a conversation, but an impromptu speech. Since he walked into the reception room, Shen Zhuangyuan has been mentioned three times in the conversation, which made Berkeley confused. He didn't know who this person was. How sacred.
In fact, many of Ciel's opinions or concepts were originally influenced by Hua Zhenxing. Since he became the president of the new alliance, the three old men also believed that providing remedial lessons for Ciel was a key task.
Charles's most important assistants or mentors at work are actually Shen Sishu, Li Jingzhi, Wang Fengshou and others. Especially Shen Sishu, he is equivalent to the private teacher assigned to him by the New Alliance.
At this point, Berkeley could no longer take what Charles was saying, and subconsciously did not want to continue this discussion.
While Charles stopped to take a breath, he quickly changed the topic: "Mr. Charles, when do you want to announce your inauguration as the next president?
I am here and can also cooperate with you to complete the legal transfer of presidential power, at least the situation is legal, which will save you a lot of trouble, such as diplomatic trouble."
This incident may reflect the final value of his existence as president. Unexpectedly, Charles shook his head and said: "You misunderstood, I am not the president of the country at all!"
Berkeley was surprised: "You don't want to? But you are the leader of the new alliance, and this is your responsibility!"
Since Charles doesn't want to be president, why should he stage a military coup to seize central power? Why should he oust him as president? Is it just boring and playing house?
In fact, Charles's original ideal was to kill Jin Datou and replace him, which was not only to avenge his uncle but also to protect himself. As for what to do after becoming the leader of the Big Head Gang, that would be discussed at that time. Charles did not have a clear idea.
After becoming the president of the new alliance, his ideals were sublimated. He wanted to change the country. With Hua Zhenxing's promotion, he hoped to become the new president of the country of Kilili.
But today the presidential throne is at his fingertips, but Charles's mind has changed. He looked into Berkeley's eyes and said: "This is liberation, not a military coup, nor a transfer of positions. The new alliance wants to overthrow the regime you represent, and
Not inheritance.
Therefore, I will not become the 26th president of the Kingdom of Kili, and this regime is not worthy of me to inherit and maintain it. The Kingdom of Kili will be renamed the People's Republic of Kili, a People's Committee will be established, and the government will be reorganized."
Unexpected! Berkeley suddenly realized another problem and asked anxiously: "What about me, how do the new alliance plan to deal with me, the last president?"
Charles actually showed a wry smile: "Why do we still let you live in the presidential palace? In addition to being too busy recently to take care of the arrangements, do you know any other reasons?"
Berkeley: "I was just going to ask you to tell me."
Charles: "Because as far as we know, you have no other residence in Morwan City, and now you have no job. We can't kick you out to sleep on the street. You will starve to death on the street, but you still deserve to be punished.
Don’t do this!”
Berkeley: "I really don't have another residence in Mowang City, but I still have some savings. More importantly, my family and I still have many assets, mainly in Tiga City."
Charles shook his head and said: "Everything has been confiscated, including many important figures in your family. They have all been arrested now. A few people will be suppressed, and others also need to be reformed... Now you eat box lunches every day
The money is all spent from the office expenses of the New Alliance."
Although he was mentally prepared, Berkeley still felt a little angry, his eyes were red, he took a deep breath, straightened his waist, raised his head and said: "Which law are you based on?
Even the new laws enacted by the New Alliance cannot allow such unreasonable plundering of private legal property. If the New Alliance wants to confiscate the assets accumulated by three generations of our family, there must be reasonable and legal procedures."
Charles kept looking at him and sighed helplessly: "Berkeley, you said in your letter that you consider yourself to be the most honest and upright official representative in this country?"
Berkeley: "I can proudly declare that even if you can deprive me of my life and property, it will not change this fact."
Charles: "Is this all you have left to be proud of? As far as I know, you went to the Kingdom of Yin when you were three years old, and half a year after returning to the Kingdom of Gilly, you moved into the Presidential Palace.
You are the largest plantation owner in Tiga City, including Mowang City, and you should be the largest plantation owner in the entire Kingdom of Kilili, but you have never been to your own plantation in person, right?
The business is handled by your subordinates, and all you need to do is look at the financial accounts. This is what you have been taught and what you are best at doing!
You also watched the documentary just now. The New Alliance once sealed a plantation on the outskirts of Port Fiso and rescued a large number of slave workers. What happened in that plantation was simply appalling!
Over the years, they have colluded with local gangs, kidnapped a large number of people and forced them to become slave labor. Not only were these slave laborers unpaid, but their personal freedom was restricted, and they were subjected to all kinds of beatings, scoldings and torture until they died miserably.
Not only did we rescue a group of slave workers who were imprisoned and forced to work, we also discovered a large number of nameless bones.
The owner of the plantation was Morrison. He had dual nationality of the Kingdom of Kilili and the Kingdom of Puku. He went overseas at that time. We did not catch him, but we confiscated his assets in Fiso Port and suppressed the rest.
of criminals.”
Berkeley: "I have an impression of the matter you mentioned. I heard about it last year."
Charles: "Oh, how did Mr. President hear about this at that time?"
Berkeley: "The country of Guizhou sent a diplomatic note, urging our government to protect the assets and personal safety of citizens of the country of Guizhou in the country of Guili, and provided information on this incident, including Mr. Morrison's complaint.
You also know the diplomatic environment of Kilili Country, so I paid great attention to it at the time, held a meeting to discuss it, and wrote a special reply to express my attitude and explanation."
Charles: "How did you reply to the letter?"
Berkeley: "First of all, I would like to express my regret and sympathy for Mr. Morrison's unfortunate experience, and my indignation and condemnation of the atrocities committed by local armed separatist forces.
The government of Guilin resolutely protects the legal assets and personal safety of overseas investors in the country. This is our consistent attitude.
However, in view of the fact that the Port of Aiso is occupied by local separatist armed forces, the central government of the Kingdom of Gila is temporarily unable to deal with the matter and will only have to wait until it is able to resolve it in the future.
In view of this, we also hope that the government of Guilin can provide political, economic, military and humanitarian assistance to help us improve our ability to solve similar problems, and the government of Guilin will be deeply grateful."
Berkeley was already a little numb at the moment, and he answered completely truthfully. The reason he remembered this incident so clearly was because during his three-and-a-half-year term as president, this was one of the few opportunities for him to directly deal with overseas powers.
Charles: "What happened next? After you gave your reply, what feedback did the government of the country have?"
Berkeley: "It's all gone, without any feedback. The government of Bag Country should also know the current situation of Kilili Country, and they don't expect us to solve the problem at all.
The reason why the diplomatic note was issued was probably the result of Morrison's activities, and he wanted to use diplomatic means to recover losses.
But sending such a note is already an explanation for him, and it is impossible for the government of the country to worry more about a businessman from the country like him. His public relations funds can be said to be in vain."
Charles: "When it comes to this kind of thing, Mr. President immediately becomes smart and sensible, and his analysis is reasonable. But what I want to ask is, whose interests are you safeguarding and whose interests are you serving?"
"I didn't understand the real situation at the time," Berkeley sighed.
Charles: "There are too many things you don't know. What happened to Morrison's plantation? You only found out after watching the documentary today, but what about your own plantation?
There is a piece of information that has just been sent here, which is the New Alliance's investigation into a plantation in Tiga City. It is an asset in your name. It is shocking. The crimes are even worse than Morrison's plantation.
and!"
The lights went out again, and Charles left his seat and stood to the side of the table. Another screen was placed on the wall behind him, and a fifteen-minute video material was played, which had just been roughly produced...
"Stop, don't let go!" Only a few minutes later, Berkeley lowered her head, covered her face with her hands in pain, and made a pleading voice.
Charles did not embarrass him. He signaled the staff to stop playing, turned on the light again and sat back at the table. He slowly said: "Mr. President, is this your integrity and integrity? It is like a palace built on quicksand."
!
I believe that you are really ignorant and really think that you are clean and upright. My best friend once told me a concept, you are like a so-called good person in the gang, but we don't need gangs, and we must eradicate gangs.
We do not want to continue to tinker with this world that is riddled with holes. It is already a corpse that cannot be saved and is not worth saving. I do not want to build a new world full of vitality and vitality.
If crimes are not punished, kindness will be pale and powerless; if evil is not eradicated, justice will not be served. But we must first let everyone clearly see the crimes and evil in this world, and then they will understand the preciousness of justice.
As for you personally, we will arrange a job for you to make a living. As for the presidential palace, it will be transformed into the Kilili National Culture and History Memorial Hall.
This country does not have a cultural and historical memorial hall, and it seems that it does not have a culture and history that is truly worthy of pride, so everything starts from now.
We will arrange a dormitory for you, and you will start as an ordinary librarian in the Museum of Literature and History, and follow the leadership to participate in the preparations for the construction of the Museum of Literature and History. During this period, some investigations and inquiries will require your, the former president, to cooperate at any time.
.
While you are working, you must also attend night classes and undergo ideological transformation before you can become a full-time employee. The New Alliance has arranged special training classes for such people.
As a student in a special training class, you are required to submit an ideological report every week. If you cannot write, you can dictate it.
In view of your situation, I can provide you with a thought report in English within half a year, and then I hope you can write in Dongguan. It doesn’t need to be too complicated, and the night school will teach you.”
What is displayed in this cultural and historical memorial hall will tell people what the country of Kilili was like in the past, and how everything happened today? What role did you and I, all of us, play in it?
Including our conversation, the entire process has been recorded, and it will be displayed in this memorial hall in the future for people to view and tell everyone what happened that night?"
