Fox of France

Chapter 254, Shaking the Pot

There are actually skills in surrendering. First of all, you need to know where to surrender. This is not on a real battlefield, the enemy army is over there, just find a national flag of a certain country, cut off the two sides, and then lift it up.

But on this battlefield, who should surrender to ensure the interests of the gentlemen most quickly and effectively? This is a big problem. You should avoid finding the wrong person, and if you don't talk about anything else, just wasting time is unbearable.

And on the French side, not everyone is willing to accept their surrender. If you find someone who is not willing to accept their surrender, just like Ah Q found a fake foreign devil and said "I want to surrender to the Revolutionary Party", you will probably only get a sentence of "Get out". If the "rolling" is slow, I'm afraid there will be a few more hits on the head.

But at this time, it is too late to list the goals and analyze them one by one. Now we can only cast the net widely. As long as it is possible to accept their "surrender" objects, the English doctors will send a director to them to surrender. Of course, a more civilized person should "express goodwill".

In addition to "expressing goodwill" to the French, they must also reach a "goodwill reconciliation" with those forces that have now maintained "goodwill" with the French.

So all the directors were mobilized, and President Edward wrote down the targets that needed to be visited immediately, and then everyone claimed a target to visit.

Dr. James looked carefully at the targets, and then he saw a name: Charles James Fox.

He happened to recognize the leader of the Whig party, the famous playboy. (It is said that he was the one who lured His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales into a playboy) Back then, he had treated Mr. Fox, and the two could talk. So he wanted to step forward, intending to follow this goal.

"Ah, James, you don't have to choose. You and I go to the "Scientific Pravda" first, and publish an apology to Mademoiselle Bonaparte. Then come with me to the British editor of the "Lancet" department……"

James knew that this was the most important action in this surrender, and of course it was also the most difficult and humiliating action. And it really started from him. So besides him, no one else is really suitable for this embarrassing thing. Moreover, even if someone else is willing to replace him, he is not at ease, because they may throw all the blame on him in his absence.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that he was really dizzy just now, and he almost chose another one on his own initiative, and almost gave up this crucial position to others. At the same time, his heart was filled with gratitude to President Edward.

After setting the goal, everyone quickly unified the tone. That is, to admit that the Medical Association of England has made mistakes and misjudged; to admit that everyone has a problem of too much pride, and to promise to work hard to correct this problem. However, there are a few things that must not be admitted:

First, it cannot be admitted that the English Medical Association objected to the scientific conjectures put forward by the French for reasons of interest.

Second, it cannot be admitted that the English Doctors' Union made such a mistake because of a lack of ability.

Then comes the substance of the actual surrender.

First of all, the Medical Association of England admits that it needs to learn from European countries, especially France, in terms of medical technology. In the future, the English Doctors' Union will invite French experts to give lectures in the UK every year, and at the same time arrange for British doctors to go to France for advanced studies. Although this is called strengthening technical exchanges in name, in essence, anyone can conclude that the English Doctors' Union has recognized France's authoritative status in medicine.

In addition, the English Doctors' Union reorganized its own organization, allowing foreigners to become directors of the English Doctors' Union, in order to avoid the arrogance and backwardness caused by complacency.

Finally, the Medical Association of England will strongly recommend that hospitals be remodeled according to French standards and under the guidance of French doctors. If the hospital is unwilling to carry out similar transformation, the Medical Association of England will advise doctors not to go to such a hospital.

In short, with such a series of measures, the French can take advantage of the English Medical Association to quickly occupy a leading position in the British medical field.

With a certain plan, everyone got into the carriage one after another and rushed towards their goals.

But as the saying goes, "If you don't walk early, you will walk early." When President Edward and Dr. James came to "Scientific Pravda" and asked to see Mr. Mabeuf, the editor-in-chief, they were told that Mr. Mabeuf was visiting, so they had to wait first.

So the two of them could only wait in the side hall next to them. The waiter led them to the side hall and poured black tea for them. Then get ready to leave. But President Edward stopped the waiter.

"May I ask, who is the editor-in-chief receiving now?"

The waiter hesitated a little. So President Edward quietly stuffed a banknote into his hand. Then the waiter overcame his hesitation and whispered to them, "It's Bishop White."

"It's broken!" President Edward thought in his heart.

Obviously, people from the Anglican Church came here at this time, and it must be because of the report on the "Lancet". Because more than half of the hospitals involved in this turmoil were founded by the Anglican Church, and most of the remaining ones also have the background of the Anglican Church.

In the controversy of more than a month before, people from the Anglican Church were also involved. This was especially true when Charles James Fox, a consistent advocate for the abolition of the Anglican Church as a state religion, joined the fray. Under the hint of Fox, many more radical guys even directly said that the hospitals of the Anglican Church are for the organized elimination of the poor who are no longer worth squeezing.

The Whig Review of English Journalism was a no-nonsense broadsheet (at least he felt it was), and naturally could not publish too frightening and ill-founded speculation. However, it can publish letters from readers. That's the "reader's" point of view anyway, not the newspaper's point of view. So the "Letters from the Reader" column of the "England Journalism Review" has almost become a petri dish for all kinds of rumors. Although every horrifying "letter from the reader" is followed by the editor's persuasion and negation.

The "England Journalism Review" set the pace, and then other tabloids followed suit quickly. They are not the kind who want to talk about style and pretend to "just respect the facts without presupposing a position", and want to take a high-end route. Broadsheet. They are naturally attitude media, for them, attitude is more important than facts. After all, reporting the facts depends on strength; expressing attitudes only depends on conscience. Tabloids have limited power, so they can't get much exclusive news, and it's hard to get facts. If there is no attitude or even a conscience, is there still a need to exist?

So these newspapers really made a lot of predictions against the Anglican Church. Of course, the Anglican Church has no tradition of not retaliating when scolded, and immediately counterattacked in newspapers that favored them. As a result, they will naturally involve the "scientific conjecture" of the French, and the people of the Anglican Church will naturally attack this unfounded "scientific conjecture", and even rise to the level of piety to God.

However, God slapped the Anglican heresy with the facts. In today's era where science has generally begun to be respected, even the Catholic Church no longer dares to grill scientists, and the Episcopal Church no longer dares to directly confront repeatable and verifiable science.

As a rule, whenever science has made any advances and has clarified some unknown territory, one can always find that theologians are the first to hide in the unknown territory that science has not yet understood, and then declare: "You see we have long been Wait for them here." And then quietly revise the doctrine in passing, and change the previously declared truths into parables and analogies.

The Anglican Church is no exception, but compared to the English Medical Association, the Anglican Church is more troublesome because they cannot apologize, and they cannot admit their ignorance. A magician is not the same as a scientist. Scientists never claim to have the truth, so it is normal for them to make mistakes. But the magic stick is different. They usually claim that they have received the revelation of the truth, and they are the spokesperson of the truth. People follow him precisely because they believe he holds the truth. So they can't admit their mistakes. If they admit their mistakes, it means they are finished.

Since you can't admit your mistakes, and you can't hold on, there is only one choice, and that is - throwing the pot away.

Obviously, the people of the Anglican Church came to "Scientific Truth" to get rid of the blame. But who can they blame? First of all, it is definitely not good to dump the French on the head. Because they can't say "the French use magic to deceive God", after all, it is not the fourteenth century. And to say that the French are too cunning and deceive themselves is not the same as admitting that they are too stupid?

Although all British people know that there are many fools in the church who don't understand anything. But the church itself cannot admit it. This is like the king who was deceived by a liar. Even if he already knew that he was naked, he still had to carry on the parade to the end.

Therefore, President Edward immediately thought that he, as well as the Doctors Association of England, were the best targets to blame. The reason why the Anglican Church went wrong is because they were deceived. Well, everyone knows that the French are their opponents. If the Anglicans are deceived by the French, it means that the Anglicans are stupid. But if there is a traitor among his own people, he can only blame the Anglican Church for being too kind.

"Maybe, they are all ready to accuse us of secretly worshiping the devil when necessary?" President Edward couldn't help thinking.
