Chapter 809 Civilization Conquers Savagery (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
“Buzz…Buzz…”
When the graceful hull of the airship appeared over the Kalaha Basin, when the natives living in the mud tents heard the "buzz...buzz" roar coming from the sky, when they raised their heads and looked up at the sky with their spears and leather shields.
At this moment, barbarism and civilization had the most direct impact.
Barbarism was conquered by civilization!
The terrified natives all looked at the huge "monsters" in the sky. Their reactions were different. The timid ones screamed in fear. For a moment, the tribe was filled with people's screams.
The tribe was in chaos. The timid ones were screaming and crying, but the brave ones just stood there in shock, staring at the monster in the sky.
The huge body of the airship blocked the sunlight and cast a large shadow over the earth. When the natives felt that the "monster" in the sky blocked the sun's light, the fear of the end spread in everyone's heart.
The three airships circled around the tribe in the air more than 30 meters above the ground. The roar of the engines and the huge bodies of the airships made the people in the tribe look at the airships in the sky with fear and admiration.
At this time, the men in the tribe no longer went hunting, and the women no longer took care of the children. Even the children no longer played with the sheep's legs and swung them around. Both adults and children looked at the huge creature in the sky with awe, and the wizard jumped up directly. In the wizard's opinion, this was the spaceship of God.
The gods were about to descend here, and many people knelt down to welcome the arrival of the gods.
"On this day, the gods sent their warriors..."
In the chronicles of the local natives, this day is undoubtedly the most important day. They tell their sons and grandsons over and over again that the gods have come.
The skin color of those gods is the same as gold, what a noble color it is!
Civilization conquers barbarism, and sometimes guns and cannons are not necessarily needed. How did the European missionaries conquer the indigenous people? They relied on drugs. Without drugs, how could the indigenous people give up their beliefs? Medicine and drugs are a kind of science in themselves.
Civilization conquers barbarism by relying on the power of science, and the Ming Dynasty relied on the power of science.
On this day, as airships landed on the land of southern Africa, the local natives were conquered. Of course, they could refuse to obey, but samurai swords and machine guns would teach them to obey.
But one thing is certain, after this day, at least in the hearts of many natives, the people with golden skin are the descendants of the gods and the rulers sent by the gods.
The gods came down to earth to rule the world.
…
Benjamin might be the most depressed person in the world!
He had vowed that he would compete with the Ming Dynasty in Africa, and that the British Empire would win the competition. But what about now? When Benjamin received the telegram from George Grey in Cape Town, he was dumbfounded.
airship!
He had seen airships before. They were used to drop bombs and carry out bombings, but...how could they transport people?
While the British soldiers were marching among the bushes on the Kapp Plateau, the Ming soldiers crossed their legs and sat on the airship, and then... they arrived at their destination singing and drinking Coke, and then when the British soldiers were stinking, they descended from the sky and snatched the fruits of victory from the hands of the British soldiers!
Shameful!
It's time to learn your lesson! Young people have no moral principles!
No moral ethics!
Unfair victory!
Benjamin wanted to say that...but he couldn't say it.
"Your Excellency, if the news gets out, we will become a laughing stock in all the newspapers, our opponents will laugh at us in Parliament, and the British army will become a laughing stock in cartoons. Your Excellency, we..."
Earl Henry Herbert, the Colonial Secretary, said this a little distressedly.
"We've become a laughing stock! Of everyone!"
Why was Earl Henry Herbert so excited? Because this was a colonial affair, and everything was carried out under the impetus of him as the Colonial Secretary. If someone had to be held responsible for this in the end, then it was certain that he would be responsible.
Of course, no one will be held accountable for this, but one thing is certain: he will become a laughing stock, a laughing stock of the entire London political circles, and a joke among people after dinner.
"They don't even know what we are facing!"
Benjamin said excitedly.
"The British Empire has never been so backward as it is now! Yes, it is backward. We are far behind the Ming Dynasty in technology. When we were still in the Napoleonic era, they had already used their airships to bomb cities. When we just started to manufacture airships, they had already applied airships to various aspects..."
Listening to the Prime Minister's words, Earl Henry Herbert spoke directly.
"But Prime Minister, no one cares about any of this!"
Yes, no one would care, because no one cares about the technological gap between Britain and Ming Dynasty. Everyone will only focus on their failures and then laugh at them with their failures.
"Yes, no one cares, and no one pays attention to the technological gap between us and the Ming Dynasty. Damn, who could have thought of it? We used to think that the French were our enemies, but now it seems that the Ming Dynasty's technological lead makes it very likely that they will completely surpass us in the next twenty years or so. In science... God can testify that we are already behind them!"
Benjamin said in a forward-looking tone.
"If we can't catch up with them or surpass them again in technology, then we will most likely fail! But... no one will care!"
This is the most crucial point. No one cares about this. For politicians, the only thing they care about is the failure of their opponents, and then taking the opportunity to attack their opponents.
"So, we need to launch a new action immediately. We need to use a new action and a success to demonstrate our failure in the Cape Colony. The setback in Cape Town is not worth mentioning in the face of victory. Your Excellency, Prime Minister."
Sir Henry Herbert said with his hand like in a very serious tone.
"Our only option right now to get through this crisis is to
Faced with the Colonial Secretary's suggestion, Benjamin thought for a while and then said.
"You don't mean Egypt, do you? Indeed, we have no other choice now. In this case, let's take Egypt. With Egypt, at least people will forget everything for a while."
