Chapter 1255 The Afterglow and Rising Sun of the Empire
Zeng Wangcai did not immediately agree to start negotiations with Sister Mei, but waited for a while.
This period of time passed quickly, and March soon arrived, and the day Zeng Wangcai had planned to leave was almost approaching.
Zeng Wangcai wants to go back in early summer, which is about two months away.
Throughout February and March, although negotiations did not begin, things continued to develop.
The entire country of Britain is like a dying old man, walking towards the end of the sunset step by step, his steps are unsteady and lifeless.
When he reached the end, the old man collapsed.
However, new life was born, and a sapling stubbornly broke through the soil in the morning sun.
“We want peace!”
"We want order!"
"We have to work!"
"We need to survive!"
"us......"
People holding similar slogans appeared in various cities.
The chaos has been going on for almost a year, and many people's lives have been affected. The BBC TV station has been constantly reporting on what is happening in Liverpool, reporting that the authorities have not started negotiations, and reporting that Mason has been trapped for more than a month, struggling to find peace.
Long-suppressed dissatisfaction erupted under the influence of this temptation.
People who are unaware of the truth will always be misled and exploited, which is one of the manifestations of their value.
Now that Mason's party has gained overwhelming support, members of May's party have been stunned.
While Mei's party was dealing with Zeng Wangcai, Mason's party was secretly making arrangements, collecting charges against members of Mei's party and taking control of all departments that they could control.
At the beginning of February, two members of Parliament from May's party were charged and quickly sent to prison.
Internal strife quickly broke out!
Throughout February, it was more like they were fighting among themselves rather than Sister Mei waiting for Mason to negotiate.
As a result of deliberate or unintentional calculations, the number of members of Sister Mei's party quickly dwindled, and those who were not harmed had to keep a low profile or consider switching camps.
Zeng Wangcai and the Mason faction attacked from both inside and outside, which led to the empire's aging and rebirth.
Early March, Slow Chester.
Sister Mei, whose party was beaten to pieces, welcomed a guest - the party boss behind Mason, the leader who actually controls the party, Colt!
Colt, an old party spiritual leader, a very wise and open-minded old man.
He came to Slowchester to work for Sister Mei, the last fighter of her party.
"Mr. Colt..."
There was no one else at the meeting, only Sister Mei and Colt.
There is basically no one behind Sister Mei who can handle the big scene, but Colt does. However, Colt chooses to face Sister Mei alone, which makes Sister Mei feel much more comfortable.
"Coffee or tea?" He did it himself in Sister Mei's temporary study.
"Tea, Oriental green tea!" Colt loosened his tie. "I'm old, I don't sleep well, and my health is not very good. Coffee is too strong, and tea is more mild."
"That makes sense!" Sister Mei nodded, grabbed a handful of tea leaves, and said with a hint of meaning, "Mr. Colt, you pay attention to the way of keeping healthy in life, but you are very cruel in your actions."
As they were talking, Sister Mei prepared the tea.
Colt took the teacup without opening the lid and smiled, "I finally heard your complaint. That's good. Listen, Sister Mei, I admire you very much and have always admired you, but you are wrong this time. You are wrong because you insisted on fighting even though you knew you couldn't win. It's not shameful to admit the gap. Let me state my position first..."
Sister Mei sat down with her coffee and listened attentively.
"Only by this means can we end the struggle in the shortest possible time." Colt said calmly, "In fact, there is no right or wrong in the struggle. The key is the result. The empire has lost its former glory. We need to recognize this and choose a new direction to allow the empire to move forward smoothly..."
The old man was really surprised. If Zeng Wangcai heard what the old man said, he might not support Mason.
This guy might be King Gou Jian of Yue.
He advocated surrendering simply and not doing anything, just acting the way the enemy wants to see and survive first.
Sister Mei seemed to be deep in thought. The coffee on the table remained untouched, and the heat dissipated little by little. It was obvious that she was digesting what Colt said.
"Sir, I have decided to go to Liverpool!" Sister Mei sighed dejectedly.
"No, you're not ready!" Colt said, "Your mentality is not right. Even if you go in this way, you will not succeed because you will face a very humiliating scene in Liverpool."
"humiliation?"
"Yes...I brought you something you can take to them in Liverpool."
"what?"
"You'll know just by looking at it!"
Colt's hands were shaking a little as he took out a box from a bag he brought with him.
He opened the box and carefully took out the well-preserved documents inside: "You should know what this is. I think you'd better read it again now."
"This..." Sister Mei narrowed her eyes slightly after receiving the thing.
Sister Mei was very familiar with this thing. As Colt said, he knew the contents inside very well.
This is a document written in two languages. The relevant clauses in it are all requirements for one company to do something, and it also covers a huge amount of compensation.
"Mr. Colt, you want me to give this to them?" Sister Mei didn't understand Colt's intention for a moment.
"That's right, give it back to them!" Colt nodded. "Look at the content above. You are now like them more than a hundred years ago. Do you think you can accept the above terms? No, right? But the situation has changed now. More than a hundred years ago, we were extremely powerful, but today, more than a hundred years later, we are nothing."
Sister Mei understood Colt's intention.
He thought that Liverpool would definitely face difficulties in the future, but he never thought it would be to this extent because times have changed.
"Actually, there is no difference!" Colt anticipated what Mei was thinking and continued, "Everything is related to strength. Without strength, there will be no friends."
"Why me? Not Mason?" Sister Mei was furious. "You know I will be nailed to the pillar of shame if you do this. You are obviously capable of taking over the current power and making me step down. You do it yourself."
"This is a stupid question. I have already answered it!" Colt said seriously, "There is no right or wrong, it's only about the result. Your fate is already determined. Don't you want a clean person to continue to lead the empire? Do you have to leave this stinky shit to the next person? This is not good for the empire..."
To put it simply, since you are already dirty, you might as well eat more.
If it were an ordinary person, he would probably slap Colt in the face, but Sister Mei is not an ordinary person, and neither is Colt.
This old fellow Colt actually convinced Sister Mei with just a few words.
Sister Mei took a sip of the cold coffee: "I promise you..."
