Chapter 254, dumping the pot
Surrender is actually a skill. First of all, you need to know where to surrender. This is not on the real battlefield, where the enemy is there, find a national flag of a certain country, then cut off both sides, and then lift it up.
But who should I surrender on this battlefield to ensure the interests of gentlemen as quickly and effectively? This is a big problem. You should avoid finding the wrong person. Don’t talk about anything else. Just delaying time will make people unable to bear it.
Moreover, not everyone is willing to accept their surrender. If you find someone who is unwilling to accept their surrender, just like Ah Q finds a fake foreigner and says "I want to surrender to the revolutionary party", you will probably only get a word "get out". If you "get out" slowly, you will be afraid that you will be hit on your head a few more times.
However, it was too late to list the targets and analyze them one by one. Now we can only cast a wide net. As long as we can accept their "surrender", the English doctor would send a director to surrender to them. Of course, to put it more civilized, it should be "expressing goodwill."
In addition to "expressing goodwill" to the French, they must also reach a "goodwill reconciliation" with those forces that now maintain "goodwill" with the French.
So all the directors were mobilized, and President Edward wrote down the goals that needed to visit immediately on paper, and then everyone claimed one to visit.
Dr. James looked at the targets carefully, and then he saw a name: Charles James Fox.
He happened to recognize the Whig leader, the famous playboy. (It is said that he lured His Highness the Prince of Wales into a playboy) He had seen Mr. Fox before, and the two of them were able to speak. So he wanted to go forward and plan to follow this goal.
"Ah, James, you don't have to choose. You and I will go to Pravda first and publish a notice to apologize to Miss Bonaparte. Then, with me, the editorial office of the Lancet in the UK..."
James knew that this was the most important action in this surrender, and of course the most difficult and embarrassing action. And this matter did start with him. So now, there is no one suitable for this embarrassing thing except him. Moreover, even if others are willing to go on his behalf, he is not at ease, because he may throw all the blame to himself in his absence.
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that he was so dizzy just now that he almost chose something else and almost gave up this crucial position to others. At the same time, he was immediately full of gratitude to President Edward.
After determining the goal, everyone quickly unify the tone. That is, admit that the English Doctors Guild made a mistake and made a misjudgment; admit that everyone has too proud problems, and promised to work hard to correct this problem. However, there are a few things that cannot be admitted:
First, it cannot be admitted that the English Doctors Association opposed the scientific conjectures put forward by the French because of its interests.
Second, it cannot be admitted that the English doctors union made such mistakes because of their ability defects.
Then there is the essence of the real surrender.
First of all, the English Doctors Association admits that in terms of medical technology, it is necessary to learn from European countries, especially from France. 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 British Doctors to study in France. Although this is nominally called strengthening technical exchanges, in essence, anyone can conclude that the English Doctors Union recognizes France's authoritative position in medicine.
In addition, the English Doctors Union reorganized its organization and allowed foreigners to become directors of the English Doctors Union to avoid arrogance and backwardness caused by self-confidence.
Finally, the English Doctors Association will strongly recommend that all hospitals undergo renovations in accordance with French standards under the guidance of French doctors. If the hospital is unwilling to undergo similar renovations, the English Doctors Association will advise doctors not to work in such hospitals.
In short, with such a series of measures, the French could use the English Doctors Guild to quickly occupy a leading position in the British medical community.
After a certain plan, everyone got on the carriage and rushed towards their goals.
However, as the saying goes, "Don't say that you are going early, there will be people who will go early." When President Edward and Dr. James came to Pravda and asked to meet Mr. Ma Baifu, he was told that Mr. Ma Baifu was meeting guests, 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 them black tea. Then they were about to withdraw. But President Edward grabbed the waiter.
"Can I ask, who is the editor-in-chief receiving now?"
The waiter was a little hesitant. So President Edward quietly stuffed a bill into his hand. Then the waiter defeated his hesitation and told them in a low voice: "It's Bishop White."
"It's broken!" President Edward thought to himself.
Obviously, the people of the Anglican Church came here at this time, which must have been for the report in the Lancet. Because most of the hospitals involved in this storm were founded by the Anglican Church, and most of the remaining ones also have the background of the Anglican Church.
In the debate over the past month, the people of the Anglican Church were also involved. This was especially true when Charles James Fox, who had always advocated the abolition of the Anglican Church's state status, joined the debate. Under Fox's suggestion, many more radical guys even directly said that the hospitals of the Anglican Church were to organize the elimination of the poor who had no value for exploitation.
The Whig's "English News Review" is a serious newspaper (at least he feels so), so naturally he cannot publish too terrifying and lacking inferences. However, it can publish readers' letters. Anyway, it is the view of the "reader" and not the view of the newspaper. Therefore, the "reader's letter" column of "English News Review" has almost become a petri dish for various rumors. Although every thrilling "reader's letter" is followed by editors' unpalatable persuasion and denial.
There is a "England News Review" that brings a rhythm, and then other tabloids quickly keep up. They are not the kind of big newspapers that have to be stylish and pretend to be "just respecting the facts, without a preset position", and take the high-end route. They are naturally media with attitudes, and for them, attitudes are more important than facts. After all, reporting facts depends on strength; and showing attitudes only depends on conscience. As for tabloids, their strength is limited, and they cannot get much scoops, so it is difficult to get facts. If even attitudes and consciences are gone, is there still a need for existence?
So these newspapers really made a lot of prophecies against the Anglicans. Of course, the Anglicans did not have the tradition of not scolding and retaliating, and immediately fought back on newspapers that tended toward them. In this way, they would naturally involve the French "scientific conjecture". The people of the Anglicans naturally attacked this baseless "scientific conjecture" and even rose to the level of whether they were pious to God.
However, God slapped the heresy of the Anglican Church with facts. In this era where science has become generally respected, even the Catholic Church dared not to grill scientists anymore, and the Anglican Church dared to directly confront repeatable and verifiable science.
Generally speaking, whenever science makes progress and figures out an unknown field, people can always find that theologians are hiding in an unknown field that science has not yet figured out, and then declare: "Look, we have been waiting for them here for a long time." Then quietly modify the doctrine and change the previously claimed truths into fables and analogies.
The Anglican Church is no exception, but compared with the English Doctors Association, the more troublesome thing about the Anglican Church is that they cannot apologize and cannot admit their ignorance. The charlatans are different from scientists. Scientists never claim that they have the truth, so it is normal for them to make mistakes. But the charlatans are different. They usually claim that they have received the revelation of the truth and are the spokespersons of the truth. The reason why people follow him is because they believe that he has the truth. Therefore, they cannot admit their mistakes. If they admit their mistakes, they are finished.
Since you cannot admit your mistakes and cannot hold on, there is only one choice, and that is to pass the blame.
Obviously, the people of the Anglican Church must have found "Scientific Truth" to get rid of the blame. But who can they turn the blame to? First of all, it is definitely not easy to throw it on the French. Because they can't say "the French used magic to deceive God." After all, it's not the fourteenth century. To say that the French are too cunning and deceive themselves is equivalent to admitting that they are too stupid?
Although all British people know that there are many fools in the church who don’t know anything. But the church itself cannot admit it. It is like the king who was deceived by a liar. Even if he already knows that he is naked, he must carry the parade to the end.
So, President Edward immediately thought that himself and the English Doctors Association were the best targets to blame. The reason why the Anglican Church made a mistake was because they were deceived. Well, everyone knows that the French are opponents. If the Anglican Church was deceived by the French, it means that the Anglican Church was stupid. But if there was a traitor among its own people, then we 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.
