Chapter 351 The Writer Orwell
"I'm happy to see you." The man came with a thin figure, a hooked nose, and a navy blue suit, looking very energetic.
When shaking hands with the other party, Orwell always felt that he seemed to be somewhere and had he seen this person?
"Mr. Orwell, your novel is so well written!" The visitor sat down and said to Orwell: "I have read all the manuscripts of your book. Although it is a fairy tale, the principles contained in it are so profound."
Orwell felt embarrassed by the praise from the visitor. His wife Ailin had quietly retreated. At this time, she had to be a foil with peace of mind.
"All animals are equal in one case, but some animals are more equal than others. When equality is divided into high and low, the so-called equality is just a lie of self-deception, and the so-called freedom has become a complete joke. The humble civilians can only struggle silently in difficulties." The visitor continued.
This is what Orwell's animal manor said. He really didn't expect that the other party could say it so fluently, and obviously he had really read his entire book.
This sentence is of course a sentence that Orwell deeply understands. In Spain, as a left-wing intellectual, he resolutely took up his weapons 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 how strong Franco's army was, but because of the mutual struggle between the left parties, as Trotskyists, Orwell was almost washed away.
This changed Orwell's thoughts greatly. Through his own experience and understanding of a series of events such as the Great Purge of the Soviet Union, he made his own judgment on the nature of the Soviet Union under Stalin's rule.
If it is not convenient to write facts, it can only be entrusted to fairy tales.
The sentence that the other party just said was what Orwell felt the most deeply. The so-called equality and freedom were just his own wishful thinking, and it did not exist in this world at all.
It's so stupid that I actually want to pursue these things.
"Okay, now let's talk about publishing issues. We plan to publish 400,000 volumes in advance..."
The talks upstairs were still going on, Ailin was waiting patiently downstairs, and outside the window, the spring was bright.
Just then, suddenly, she heard a low crying sound from the next door.
What's going on?
The neighbors' warm and friendly friendship made Ailin already as close as a family. Now, when she heard the crying, Ailin immediately walked towards her neighbor's house.
When she walked over, she happened to look at the neighbor's hostess, Osivia, who was in her fifties, was sitting on a chair, crying in her tears.
And her husband, Becker, was also full of tears at this time, but he did not cry.
"Our son is good!" Becker said: "He killed five Polish devils alone, all of them were cavalrymen. The last one was he who died with grenades, and he did not embarrass us!"
Aileen's mind was blank, and she saw the white death notice on the table.
Neltz, the only son of the couple, died on the battlefield in Poland, and now it is the time when the death notice arrives at their house.
Death was impressed by Ailin. At the beginning, in Spain, there was almost every day. The disappearance of every living life would make her feel the cruelty of war.
At the same time, when she went deeper, she gradually got closer to her husband's thoughts. No one was right or wrong, no justice or injustice. As long as there were contradictions and disputes, there would be war.
"Yes, our son is also pursued as a combat hero. The entire battalion is a hero!" Becker shouted to his wife: "We are proud to have such a son!"
Even though he said this, tears still flowed from the corner of his eyes.
All parents hope that their children will be safe and sound.
At this moment, Becker saw Ailin and said, "Ailin, are you here? Let's sit down."
"Two, please feel sorry for me." Ailin didn't know what to say at this time.
"Nelz died in battle, we were very sad, but we were proud of him." At this time, Osivia had stopped crying, and she said to Aileen: "Aileen, can you do us a favor?"
"Of course," said Ailin.
"Your husband is a writer. Can he write down our battle stories about Neltz?" Osivia said to Eileen.
Writing out the battle story of his son is a wish of the two old men.
Faced with this request, what can Osivia say? Her husband is just a fairy tale?
"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 Aileen’s husband, Orwell, and the other was the contact person of the publisher.
The two looked at Orwell. The sound they could just do was from Orwell's mouth.
Orwell and the visitor had already finished the negotiations. When they came out, they heard the movement next door, so they came over. When they heard the request of the old couple, Orwell knew that he had no choice but to take advantage of the other party who sent his wife to the hospital in the middle of the night, he needed to help.
The visitor next to Orwell was also very happy at this time: "Mr. Orwell, if you need it, I will help you at any time and 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 visitor from this publishing house. Is there 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 and wanted to see more clearly.
"Yes, it's me. Neltz is a good person. He is an ordinary warrior, and the proudest warrior of ours. He is the glory of the empire and our hero." Goebbels said: "The empire will not make these heroes nameless."
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 from the Empire's propaganda minister. No wonder he looked familiar just now.
Paul Joseph Goebbels, a German politician and orator. He is good at speaking and is known as the "genius of propaganda" and the "Nazi mouthpiece". He defended the Hitler regime with an iron fist and maintained the system of the Third Reich, and is considered to be the "person who created Hitler."
There are mutual appreciation and tit-for-tat confrontation. Goebbels is eloquent 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 immediately decided to join the Nazi Party after listening to Hitler's speech. A few years later, he clashed with Hitler's thoughts, but after listening to Hitler's three-hour "extremely wonderful" speech, he immediately "doubted his own opinion" and decided to bow to "this great figure, the genius of politics."
Goebbels was a loyal man who was always with Hitler until the last moment. Shortly after Hitler committed suicide, Goebbels poisoned his six children and then committed suicide with his wife outside the basement of the Imperial Prime Minister's House at 8 p.m.
When the empire perishes, he will follow the empire. Such a person is also one of the heroes in troubled times.
