veness
  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
  customers,
  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
  understand
  when
  you
  grow
  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
  interests.
  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
  organize
  a
  batch
  of
  firearms
  and
  ship
  them
  to
  Guangzhou!"(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!)
