Chapter 29 Karl Marx's Three Comments on Treville
"Oh! This sounds quite surprising." After listening to Kongze's explanation, the other party raised his eyebrows with interest, "What is Mr. Treville thinking?"
There is no doubt that Mr. Treville made such a big arrangement not just to facilitate himself to read the report. There is a deeper conspiracy in the mainland.
"It doesn't matter what he is thinking, and you and I don't need to know." Kong Ze directly interrupted the other party's probing, "You just need to tell me, can you join in?"
The other party lowered his head, seeming to be hesitating.
"Is he rich?" After a moment, the other party suddenly asked in a low voice.
"Well, he is very rich now. At least... he can give us enough money to spend in our lifetime, if we satisfy him." Kong Ze nodded without hesitation.
"After serving him, I can no longer live my life like this all day long?"
"That's natural. We don't want to tell you what to do, only to have you arrested." Kong Ze replied calmly, "Once you choose to serve us, you can no longer Stealing everywhere..."
"Only steal when you need it?" the other party asked with a hint of sarcasm.
"Yes, let me tell you, you are very smart, and I am exactly what we need most." Kong Ze did not deny it at all, "Yes, there will be ugly words ahead, and you will definitely have to take a lot of risks, but is it right now?" What difference does it make if you don't live next to the gallows all day long? Hey, you are not really like some stupid ass who is obsessed with stealing, but after living a good life, you can't help but want to show your hands? "
"I don't have this hobby..." The other party laughed awkwardly. It seems that Kong Ze was right.
"Well, it doesn't matter even if you have this habit. As long as you take care of things here, you can go back to France every year. You can steal as much as you like, and no one can control you! Don't think this is a big deal. Difficult, Mr. Treville is in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now, It's easy to get a passport for you, and you can go wherever you like!" Kong Ze glanced at the other party with a slightly mocking look, "Okay, what do you have to worry about now? Tell me, what are you doing? Do you want to follow me? Or don’t you believe me?”
Then, he stared at the other person with a sharp gaze and an expressionless face.
Do you believe me?
In the face of this direct questioning, the other party finally stopped talking.
He took several puffs from his cigar, and then, just as the carriage was about to stop, he threw it out of the window.
"Okay, let's deal!"
Kong Ze breathed a sigh of relief, then reached out and patted the other party's shoulder.
"I knew you wouldn't have any other answer."
"What do you need me to do now?"
"You don't need to do anything. Just go back and wait for my next call." Kongze slowly took out a small wad of banknotes from his body, "These are the funds given to you by Mr. Treville. You can spend it however you want - of course, you can also take it and disappear without a trace. But, my friend, if I were you, I would wait for the big money in the future..."
"Okay, I've already reached this point. Will I still run?" The other party took the banknotes from Kong Ze's hand and walked directly out of the carriage.
"Goodbye!" Kong Ze said goodbye to him in the carriage. Then he waved and walked away without looking back.
It wasn't until the other party's figure had disappeared into the shadows around the corner that Kong Ze slowly walked out of the carriage carrying the box.
At this time, the two ladies had also stepped off the carriage. Kong Ze bowed to them indifferently, and then followed them back to the hotel.
When he first returned to the hotel, Kong Ze did not go to the restaurant to eat. Instead, he went to the waiter and asked for a newspaper. After hearing the man just now say that the newspaper here called his employer the "March Butcher" , he did have a little interest in his heart, and wanted to see how the newspapers here ridiculed and insulted his employer.
He was not disappointed.

"History always repeats itself. Everything that happens in the contemporary era, we can find references in past history, whether it is good or bad.
When Charles de Treville, the architect of the March coup, with the appearance of a lucky speculator and the blood of suppressing the people, amidst the triumphant cheers of the Bonapartists, as their When the General Representative came to England, we could see in him the ghost of the past - the man who shouted 'The revolution is dead! ’, the figure of Louis XVIII who proudly returned to France from abroad.
Louis XVIII sent representatives to express his loyalty to the great powers at the Vienna Peace Conference, promising that as long as he could maintain his rule, he was willing to let France abandon all the glory and ideals it had; and as Louis Bonaparte's special envoy, If this down-and-out nobleman who prides himself on being elegant comes to England, what will be the difference in his mission?
Yes, he will shout for peace like his master Louis Bonaparte and show his loyalty to Britain, saying that his group of gangsters will never pose any threat to Britain after stealing the supreme power of France. If they want to get the recognition of their illegal actions from the major powers in Europe, they have to show their courtesy to these major powers.
For decades, this is how the stinking reactionaries have brought a great country to the point where it must beg for mercy from foreign countries - these people have no support at home, so they can only beg for mercy from foreigners. , after all, they have contributed to weakening and corrupting a great nation!
Yes, in France, the once noisy revolutionary ferment is indeed dead, but it was not killed by Louis Bonaparte, Treville and others. No matter how these people pretend to be great, they cannot do this. One point - it belongs to the French people. This nation is always swinging between extremes. It was temporarily fainted in the weakness of extreme blood loss, so that this group of bandits took the opportunity to seize all power.
The French Revolution did not die in March 1851, but in June 1848, under the Provisional Government. The republic is dead, and so is the freedom of the people, including the freedom of the bourgeoisie.
Yes. It was this group of bourgeois who shouted for freedom and democracy, and it was this group of bourgeois who shouted for the destruction of the mob that ended the revolution. France was damaged by their selfishness to the point of dying, and then they shouted to love civil rights and freedom, but they knelt in front of Louis Bonaparte and his minions, just to take a breath in front of the raging revolutionary wave. Tone!
Freedom is indeed valuable, but in order to maintain one's own interests, freedom can be abandoned; everyone is born equal, but in order to maintain the nobility in front of the sans-culottes, we can shout long live the emperor - nothing is more hypocritical than bourgeois morality and corrupted. In the next revolution that is bound to come, people who understand all this. Will they still be regarded as friends?
Bonaparte, who issued a triumphant declaration of victory in Parliament, shamelessly pretended to be the patron saint of the French and French order, but in the final analysis he was nothing more than the final extension of this bourgeois morality.
There are indeed some people who doubt the sincerity of these people shouting for peace, thinking that they will sweet-talk the British while preparing a revenge war against the British, as they have done in France, because from beginning to end they have never put the word credit Have it in mind.
However, even this idea is to overestimate this group of unprincipled and moral careerists.
Read the original text in Liu#9x-on:书/吧!
This group of careerists never had any hatred in their hearts, and certainly never had good intentions. They would not be angry with Britain because of Napoleon's tragic end. As long as they could maintain the power they had worked so hard to get into, they would never remember that they still had a family feud that needed to be settled - they would only harm Britain for their own benefit, but they would never do it for Napoleon.
Yes, Treville has absolutely no integrity though. But they also had no conviction, and they would not launch a war against Britain purely for revenge—at least not when no benefits could be gained.
Not surprisingly, the British government watched all this very quickly, and even calmly. Celebrate with them at the feast and congratulate the bandits on their success. Cheers that they successfully killed a revolution and a republic.
In order to protect their ill-gotten gains. In order to extinguish a little spark of hope for human progress, Nelson's descendants were even happy to shake hands with a Bonaparte - could there be other manifestations of bourgeois morality?
There is no doubt that in order to oppose the revolution, the reactionary classes in various countries are willing and happy to come together, just as they united to kill the great revolution decades ago.
Now, they thought that everything was settled and they could sing and dance, so Treville came, proudly showing off his victory.
However, can this bourgeois prosperity and peace really last long?
No, this is absolutely impossible!
Empire is war!
The uncle's empire can at least claim to have brought civil law to France, something that can at least be said to be positive - although most of it is just window dressing, but my nephew's empire doesn't even have this window dressing. With that, it will bring nothing to the French people except war and blood and tears.
Since the people have been deprived of the rights they once had and deserved, it can only rely on the army to suppress the anger hidden in the hearts of the people. The more it relies on the army, the more it must move toward autocracy and conquest until it is destroyed time and time again through military violence. Own--
The despicable restoration dynasty of Louis XVIII suddenly disappeared after only fifteen years, and the traces left by its people in France can only exist as a laughing stock - for Louis Bonaparte and de Treville For others, how will their fate be different?
They think they have everything in Europe in their hands, and they will fight for the spoils - just like countless times in history, what Treville can bring to Britain and the entire Europe is not exactly this kind of thing. Nightmare?
Peace - this is the word that every bourgeois politician loves to say when preparing to go to war, and the self-proclaimed god who lives in the Tuileries Palace is no exception.
This group of gangsters will look for a decent victim for their own prestige and to satisfy the army's desire to conquer, because they must do so.
In the past thirty years, the horrible specter of war has never been as clear as it is now. Although it is unlikely to happen between France and Britain, it may happen anywhere else. Just as jackals are always ready to attack their prey, Bonaparte and his accomplices are always ready to find victims and bite everyone they can knock down.
If the French people do not want to experience the terrible disaster of decades ago and fall into the terrible situation of that year, they should open their eyes, not listen to any sweet words from this group of bandits, not let themselves follow this group of people, and not become cannon fodder incited by them to go to the battlefield - because they have never had Napoleon's genius and will, but are just a group of despicable ambitious people and mediocre people!
All peace-loving people in Europe must never relax their vigilance and stay alert at all times, otherwise the war caused by this group of bandits will come to you! Don't have any illusions, because empire means war! (To be continued...)
