Saintess Knight Order
The Sun's exposé had an unexpected effect: it inexplicably gained our Toulon Saintess a large number of Britain fans.
A group of upper-class, immature girls began collecting Pauline's works, then imitated Pauline by wearing men's clothing, riding horses with ordinary saddles (at that time, women rode horses with side-mounted saddles), "leading a yellow dog on the left and holding a falcon on the right," hunting foxes with double-barreled shotguns, and even going to entertainment venues to call girls!
This led some conservative Britain gentlemen to complain, "If one day we storm Paris and capture the entire Bonaparte family, we might let the others go, but that heretic named Pauline must be tied up and burned at the stake!"
On the other hand, Pauline, with her sharp, cynical satire, gentle warmth, or melancholic beauty, also gained the affection, and even admiration, of the Britain upper-class teenagers for her articles (which were constantly translated into English, and whose ideas for this type of writing often came from her older brother).
A certain immature teenager even published a one-off statement in the Voice of the People newspaper (this was a newspaper with a very small circulation, so publishing such a statement in it was relatively cheap), declaring that he was going to establish a sacred organization: the Saintess Knight Order, to protect Saint Pauline and to fight to the death against those "despicable stinking dog shit" who viciously attacked "our saint".
And this so-called "Saintess Knight Order" organization actually came to be established later, and some truly remarkable teenagers emerged from this order. For example, Byron and Shelley, two good friends, both joined the "Saintess Knight Order" back then.
Of course, at this time, these two best friends were still young; Byron, the eldest, was only 11 years old, and Shelley was just 8. So they didn't have a chance to participate in this debate. It is said that Byron regretted being born too late.
Pauline's aura also brought her two brothers into the Britain spotlight. This wasn't to say the Britain were unaware of Napoleon and Joseph beforehand; it was simply that Pauline's presence changed Britain perspective, shifting their view from solely that of enemies. They realized, "My God, this is truly legendary!"
Of course, that happened later. But now, the revelation of Pauline's identity has had the biggest impact of intensifying the related debates.
The conservatives seized this opportunity to accuse Pauline of having ulterior motives in her travelogue. "Pauline is the sister of the First Consul of France. Her actions must have been instigated by Napoleon to smear England or even divide England —does anyone really think that just because we are at peace with France, we are good friends with France? That the France are truly benevolent towards us? This is a France conspiracy against us!"
The liberals retorted, "Does the problem cease to exist simply because the person who raised it is France? Does Mademoiselle Bonaparte's belief that one plus one equals two mean we must believe one plus one equals three, or else be unpatriotic? Facts are facts, and facts do not harm Britain. On the contrary, blindfolding oneself, burying one's head in the sand, and saying, 'Lions do not exist,' is the greatest harm to Britain. Gentlemen of the Times Review, do you not even understand such a simple truth? Do you really intend to force Britain's head into the sand?"
Some of the more radical tabloids (due to their low circulation and high prices, tabloids have to resort to more radical methods to attract readers) went so far as to suspect that the gentlemen were criticizing Pauline because she had exposed their conspiracy.
"For a long time, the reactionary rulers of Britain have been cruelly exploiting the workers of England, whether men or women, adults or children (of course, they basically do not bully the elderly, because the poor in Britain simply do not live to old age!). No one can escape their bloodsucking fangs."
Once the poor lose their ability to work and their value to be exploited, they are treated as useless garbage and are eager to eliminate them in various ways, just like garbage.
Hospitals, especially those hypocritical Anglican Church hospitals, are not actually used to help or save the poor; they are actually used to systematically and efficiently eliminate those poor people who have lost their exploitable value and are becoming destabilizing factors in Britain!
This is why, after Miss Bonaparte pointed out the problems and even proposed improvements that required very little effort, her solutions not only failed to be implemented, but she herself was also constantly attacked—because she revealed a truth that some bad guys had been trying to hide!
This inevitably reminds us of the fairy tale Miss Bonaparte wrote called "The Emperor's New Clothes." Now, Miss Bonaparte is the child in her own story who cried out, "The Emperor is naked!" And some Britain swindlers are trying to silence this child, making us believe we are all fools! We were indeed fools deceived by them at times, but now, the people of England have awakened!
Some even more proactive individuals, such as Whig Party leader Charles James Fox, published an article in the * England News Review * stating. "I am not sure whether Mademoiselle Bonaparte and the theories of * the Lancet * are correct. However, I strongly support Bonaparte's statement: 'Experimentation is the highest standard for testing theory.' Therefore, we intend to call upon colleagues who are interested in clarifying this issue to jointly fund the construction of a new hospital. In this hospital, we will strictly follow the recommendations of * the Lancet *, and then compare it with those hospitals that adhere to tradition, letting the facts prove who is right!"
Mr. Fox is a very proactive person. After issuing such a call, he transformed a rented warehouse into a France- style hospital in just a few days. Mr. Fox also made no secret of the fact that his France friends provided him with a lot of help in the construction of this hospital. For example, the hospital's doctors and caregivers are now from continental Europe.
"I don't believe that death will shy away from a doctor just because he's France, nor will it flock to a doctor just because he's England. If anyone thinks that way, then he's truly discriminating against the whole of Britain. The reason I use only doctors and nurses from continental Europe in the hospital is entirely to save time on staff training so that we can reach conclusions as quickly as possible."
However, the decisive blow came quickly. More than a month passed quickly, and the next issue of the Lancet was due for publication.
Unlike the previous issue, which saw a sparse audience, this issue of the Lancet has been repeatedly mentioned by both sides during the month-long debate. While the Lancet may not have a stellar reputation now, it is certainly well-known in Britain. Therefore, as this issue of the Lancet was about to be published, almost the entire England media was watching closely, eager to see how the Lancet would respond to the previous controversy.
However, the Lancet announced that the publication of the latest the Lancet would be postponed due to certain "technical" reasons.
The news immediately caused another uproar and commotion. Conservative media outlets were quick to react, mocking the Lancet for delaying publication because "their lies couldn't hold water, and they were scared." Liberal media, on the other hand, argued that the existing evidence was sufficient, and that the England News Alliance was simply making things up. However, in terms of sheer volume of voices, the England News Alliance clearly had the upper hand at this point.
As for the "Seven Penny Alliance," they adopted an attitude of "it's none of our business, we're only concerned with the facts," indicating that they didn't take a particular stance on these disputes. Of course, their statement was also interpreted by the England News Alliance newspapers as "feeling guilty."
Nearly two more weeks passed, and just as the guys at the England News Alliance were feeling smug, the latest issue of the Lancet was finally published.
This issue of * the Lancet * is unusually thick, three or four times thicker than previous issues, almost a full- the Lancet book. In the preface, the editors explained the reason for the delayed publication:
"In this issue, we are honored to be the first to publish a groundbreaking medical paper—'A Study on the Relationship Between Bacteria and Various Diseases.' This is a great, pioneering work; we consider it the 'The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy' of the medical field. In this remarkable work, Dr. Carroll reveals the causes of a series of deadly diseases, including cholera and typhoid fever. It opens a crucial door to avoiding these diseases and other similar illnesses, and ultimately, to effectively curing them."
However, this paper (I prefer to call it a book) is quite lengthy and involves a great deal of specialized knowledge. Reviewing it and translating it accurately into English is not an easy task. Therefore, we had to postpone the publication of this issue of * the Lancet *. However, as Miss Chris said in her work, "Many good things are worth waiting for."
