Chapter 353 Writer Orwell

"Nice to meet you." The man was thin, with a hooked nose, wearing a navy blue suit, looking very energetic.

Shaking hands with each other, Orwell always felt that he seemed to have seen this person somewhere?

"Mr. Orwell, your novel is really well written!" The visitor sat down and said to Orwell, "I have already read the manuscript of your book, although it is a fairy tale, it contains The truth is so profound.”

Orwell was also embarrassed by the compliment from the person who came. His wife, Erin, had quietly withdrawn. At this time, she had to be a foil with peace of mind.

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. When equality is also divided into high and low, the so-called equality is just a self-deceiving lie, and the so-called freedom has become an outright joke, a humble The civilians have to struggle silently in the predicament." The visitor continued.

These are the words in Orwell's Animal Farm. He really did not expect that the other party could say it so fluently. Obviously, he really read his entire book.

This sentence, of course, is a sentence that Orwell deeply understood. In Spain, as a left-wing intellectual, he resolutely took up arms and wanted to fight for justice and freedom.

However, on the Spanish battlefield, he was completely disappointed. The failure of the Spanish Civil War was not at all because of how strong Franco's army was, but because of the conflict between the parties on the left. As a Trotskyite, Orwell was almost was washed away.

This made a great change in Orwell's thinking. Through his own experience and his understanding of a series of events such as the Great Purge of the Soviet Union, he had his own judgment on the nature of the Soviet Union under Stalin's rule.

It is not convenient to write facts, so we can only rely on fairy tales.

The sentence the other party said just now is what Orwell felt most deeply. The so-called equality and freedom are just wishful thinking. In this world, they do not exist at all.

It's really stupid to even want to pursue these things.

"Okay, now let's talk about publishing. We plan to publish 400,000 copies in advance..."

The talks upstairs were still going on, and Erin was waiting patiently downstairs. Outside the window, the spring was shining brightly.

Just then, suddenly, she heard a deep cry from the next door.

what happened?

The warmth and friendliness of the neighbors made Erin feel close to them for a long time. Now, hearing the cry, Erin immediately walked towards the neighbor's house.

When she walked over, she happened to look at the hostess of the neighbor's house, Osivia, who was in her fifties, was sitting on a chair and was already crying.

And her wife, Becker, was also full of tears at this time, but she did not cry.

"Our son is very good!" Becker said: "He killed five Polish devils alone, all of them cavalry, and the last one was killed with a grenade. He did not embarrass us!"

Erin's mind went blank, and she saw the white death notice on the table.

Nelz, the couple's only son, died on the battlefield in Poland, and now is the moment the death notice reaches their home.

Irene was deeply impressed by death. Back then, it happened almost every day in Spain. The disappearance of every living life made her feel the cruelty of war.

At the same time, when she went deeper, she gradually got closer to her husband's thoughts. There was no right or wrong, no justice or injustice. As long as there were contradictions and disputes, there would be wars.

"Yes, our son is also posthumously regarded as a fighting hero. Their entire battalion is a hero!" Becker shouted to his wife: "We are proud to have such a son!"

Even so, tears still flowed from the corners of his eyes.

All parents want their children to be safe.

At this time, Becker saw Erin and said, "Eileen, are you here? Sit down."

"You two, please mourn." At this time, Erin didn't know what to say.

"Nelz died in battle, we are very sad, but we are also proud of him." At this time, Osilvia had stopped crying, she said to Erin: "Eileen, can you do us a favor? "

"Of course," Erin said.

"Your husband is a writer, can he write the story of our Nelz's battle?" Osilvia said to Erin.

It is a wish of the two old people to write out the battle story of their son.

In the face of this request, what can Osilvia say? Your husband just writes fairy tales?

"Yes." At this moment, a voice came from the door.

I don't know when, there were two more people at the door. One was Erin's husband, Orwell, and the other was the contact person of the publishing house.

The two looked at Orwell, and the voice they were able to just came from Orwell's mouth.

Orwell and the guest had already concluded the negotiation. When they came out, they heard the movement next door, so they came over. When he heard the request of the old couple, Orwell knew that he had no choice but to rely on the fact that the other party had been in the middle of the night. He sent his wife to the hospital and needed help.

And the visitor beside Orwell was also very happy at this time: "Mr. Orwell, if you need it, I will help you at any time, find someone to take you to the battlefield at that time, and find some parties for consultation."

? Orwell turned his head in confusion and looked at the guests of this publishing house. How could he have such great ability?

At this time, Becker had already recognized it.

"Goebbels? You are the propaganda minister of our empire, Goebbels?" Becker took a few steps, wanting to see more clearly.

"Yes, it's me, Nelz is good, he is an ordinary warrior, and our proudest warrior, he is the glory of the Empire, and our hero." Goebbels said: "The Empire , will not make these heroes anonymous."

Orwell was also stunned. He really didn't expect that the person who came to talk to him about publishing just now was not from the publishing house, but the propaganda minister of the empire. No wonder he looked familiar just now.

Paul-Joseph Goebbels, German politician and orator. He is good at speeches and is known as the "genius of propaganda" and "Nazi mouthpiece", defending Hitler's regime with an iron fist and maintaining the system of the Third Reich, and is considered to be "the one who created Hitler".

There is mutual sympathy, and there is tit for tat. Goebbels is articulate and has obtained a doctorate in philosophy. He does not agree with the eloquence of ordinary people, but he sincerely admires Hitler's eloquence.

In 1922, Goebbels heard a speech by Hitler and immediately decided to join the Nazi Party. A few years later, he clashed with Hitler's ideas, but after listening to a three-hour "extremely wonderful" speech by Hitler, he immediately "doubted his own views" and decided to bow to "this great man, the genius of politics." pay tribute".

Goebbels was a loyal person who stayed with Hitler until the last moment. Shortly after Hitler committed suicide, Goebbels committed suicide with his wife outside the basement of the Reich Chancellery at 8 p.m. after poisoning his six children. .

When the empire perished, he was going to follow the empire. Such a person was considered a member of the chaotic world.

But now, some changes have taken place in history. After Hitler was assassinated, Goebbels was also filled with righteous indignation, not to mention that Cyric was the person who was with Hitler from the beginning and was the second-in-command in the party. Therefore, Goebbels chose to continue to follow Hitler. Rick, avenge the Führer.
