sp; their

effectiveness
was
extremely
high.
With
just
a
slogan
'Overthrow
the
Qing
and
Restore
the
Ming
Dynasty,'
they
could
defeat
ten
enemies
with
one.”(天地会虽是叛军,但他们的战斗力特别高,凭着一句口号“反清复明”便能以一当十。)
乔治三世点头:“Then
we
must
sell
more
firearms
to
the
Tiandihui.
After
all,
they
are
our
old
ers,
and
we
cannot
let
them
be
defeated
by
the
Qing
emperor
so
quickly.”(那我们就必须多多出售火器给天地会他们了,毕竟他们是我们老客户,不能让他们那么快就被中国皇帝打倒。)
就在此时,王宫内传来轻快的脚步声,乔治三世的孙女安柏(Amber)和孙子詹姆士(James)跑进了大殿,好奇地问道:
“Grandpa,
what
are
you
talking
about?”(爷爷,你在说什么?)
乔治三世微微一笑,放下沉重的心事,缓声回答:
“I'm
talking
to
the
minister
about
trading
with
the
Chinese.
Amber,
James,
you'll
uand
when
yrow
up.”(我在和大臣谈论与中国人的贸易,安柏,詹姆士,你们长大了就会明白的。)
两个孩子乖巧地点点头,虽然他们尚且年幼,但他们已经隐约感觉到战争与利益之间的复杂关系。
就在这时,另一个小女孩跑进来——苏菲亚(Sofia),她是乔治三世最宠爱的孙女,她天真地拉住爷爷的手,歪着头问:
“Grandpa,
why
do
people
always
go
to
war?
Can't
we
just
live
in
peace?”(爷爷,为什么人们总是要开战?难道不能和平相处吗?)
乔治三世沉默了一下,随即叹了口气,摸着苏菲亚的金色卷发,说道:
“Sofia,
people
always
go
to
war
for
some
is.
This
is
the
bad
nature
of
our
human
beings,
just
like
I
wanted
to
fight
with
the
French
for
colonies
in
North
America
a
few
years
ago.
But
we
can't
deny
that
there
are
still
good
people
in
this
world.”(苏菲亚,人们总是因为一些利益就开战,这是我们人类的劣根性,就像爷爷几年前要和法国人争夺北美的殖民地一样。不过,也不能否认在这个世界上还有好人。)
苏菲亚似懂非懂地点点头,她仍然不明白,为什么人们不能和平共处,而要彼此杀戮?
但乔治三世知道,世界的本质从来都是利益交换,而非简单的善恶之分。
乔治三世回过头,看向腓特烈·诺斯和威廉·皮特,神情变得坚决:
"Pass
the
order
down,
immediately
anize
a
batch
of
firearms
and
ship
them
tuangzhou!"(传令下去,立即组织一批火器,装船运往广州!)
"In
addition,
we
have
many
black
slaves
and
mercenaries
in
our
colonies
in
America.
Inform
the
Spaniards
and
ask
them
to
send
a
group
of
people
to
support
the
Tiandihui!"(另外,我们在美洲的殖民地还有许多黑人奴隶和雇佣兵,通知西班牙人,让他们一同派遣一批人力支援天地会!)
