Hearing that Yannick was going to send her to the ballet academy, little Hepburn quickly shook her head. "Mom said you can't accept favors for free."

Yannick pointed to the food in front of little Hepburn. "But you've already eaten these things, aren't you just receiving favors for nothing?"

"..." Little Hepburn was stunned for a moment, and her young face suddenly turned red from her cheeks to the root of her neck. Seeing that she was about to put down the spoon with an embarrassed look on her face, Yannick waved her hand. "Eat, it doesn't matter. Your mother said you can't accept favors from strangers for nothing, and I am your father's friend, so of course I am not a stranger. I will discuss with your mother and send you to the ballet academy."

Little Hepburn picked up the spoon and shook his head again. "No, I still have important things to do here."

Yannick lowered his voice and whispered. "The important thing you said is to help those members of the resistance organization deliver things?" Seeing the look of shock on Little Hepburn's face again, he said with a smile. "I also know those people, they are just a group of liars."

"Liar, liar?" Little Hepburn didn't react for a moment and looked at Yannick blankly.

Yannick nodded seriously. "Yes, they are swindlers. A group of swindlers who defrauded and abducted people under the guise of resisting the Germans. They did not have the guts to fight against the Germans. They just wanted to defraud some money from their comrades in the name of resistance, and waited until they could no longer deceive them. When he was about to be exposed, he took the money and ran away."

"No way?" Little Hepburn still had an expression of disbelief on his face.

Yannick spread his hands. "What's wrong? Have you seen those so-called members of the resistance organization in the past two days?"

Little Hepburn thought for a moment and shook his head. "No."

"That's it. I said they took the money and ran away. Maybe they got on a passenger ship to the United States and went away. So don't believe some people easily. Does your mother know these things?"

Little Hepburn seemed to have gradually believed Yannick's words, and nodded in frustration. "Know."

Yannick clicked his tongue twice. "It seems that your mother has also been deceived. I will find someone to persuade her and let her be wary of those scammers in the future." After speaking, he turned around and gave instructions to Reinhard in German. "Send someone to talk to her mother and scare her. If she dares to participate in these activities again, she will not end well."

"Understood." Reinhard glanced at Hepburn, who was about to cry with an annoyed look, and nodded while suppressing a smile.

Yannick picked up a chicken wing and gave it to little Hepburn. "Hey, don't be sad. It's normal for a kid like you to be deceived. You didn't do anything wrong. It was the scammers who were wrong. Come on, try these chicken wings. They taste good."

Yannick asked as he watched little Hepburn chewing chicken wings depressedly. "Why did you help those people? You don't like Germans?"

Little Hepburn said absently. "The Germans invaded our country." After saying this, he suddenly came to his senses. "Brother, you are also German."

Yannick smiled secretly in his heart. Not only was he a German, he was also the "biggest" German. "Yes, I am German. But those people told you about the invasion. It is said that you were born in Brussels, Belgium, but your nationality is British (although you were born in Belgium, according to the law, she followed her father Becoming a British citizen), your mother is Dutch; do you like Belgium?"

"like."

"What about Holland?"

"I like it too."

"Then did you know that Belgium split from the Netherlands?"

Western Europe has experienced many dynasties, divisions and mergers, and many countries were born, such as France and Spain. However, Belgium has never been called a country, and it has even been snatched away as fat.

The Spaniards took the upper hand in this battle and began to rule Belgium, but this guy didn't know how to behave and kept suppressing the Belgians. The Belgians couldn't help it and joined forces with the Dutch next door to revolt against Spanish rule. While the Spaniards were fighting a bloody battle with the rebels, the more powerful Austrians wanted to benefit from the situation, but he succeeded. He also managed Belgium in a decent manner and introduced various preferential policies to encourage Belgians to do business abroad. It also strongly supports financial and industrial development, various banks, stock exchanges, and factories that manufacture guns. Belgium has a new look.

Belgium was originally a treasure land. With a little careful management, it immediately became one of the richest places in Europe. However, the smell of money floating around attracted a pack of wolves.

The French robbed Belgium and then withdrew, and then it was annexed by the Netherlands. How could the Belgians agree to live under someone else's roof? So they launched an uprising in 1830 and demanded separation from the Netherlands. After a long period of fighting, the Netherlands was forced to recognize Belgium's independence with the intervention of other countries.

"You must also like Britain, but do you know that the Netherlands was also a powerful country in the past?"

The Netherlands, a small country with an area of ​​just over 40,000 square kilometers and poor natural resources, is not theoretically insignificant, but it has had a dazzling glory in history. In the first half of the 17th century, it owned 60,000 merchant ships, which was three-quarters of the total tonnage of the merchant ships of France, Britain, Spain and Portugal. The Dutch monopolized the world's trade, and Dutch merchants had footprints in every corner of the five continents. Therefore, the Dutch are called "Sea Coachmen".

However, like many countries in history, their decline often begins with a major and disastrous war. When the Netherlands' maritime monopoly in the first half of the 17th century became the biggest obstacle and threat to Britain's overseas expansion, war became inevitable. It was precisely because of the Anglo-Dutch War that the Netherlands quickly fell from its maritime dominance and never occupied the maritime dominance again. This war became a permanent regret for the "sea coachmen".

"Just like this, the UK you like turned the Netherlands you like into a weak country. Who do you think is right and who is wrong?"

Little Hepburn had obviously never considered such an issue before, showing a look of confusion.

"Do you know how many wars have occurred in modern Europe? The Spanish Restoration Movement, the Crusades, the Bouvenir War, the Hundred Years' War between England and France, the Italian War, the Dutch War of Independence, the Anglo-Spanish War, the Thirty Years' War, and the Heritage War , the Franco-Dutch War, the War of the League of Augsburg, the War of the Spanish Succession, the Great Northern War, the Quadruple Alliance War... there are countless others. You see, divided Europe is constantly experiencing wars, large and small, and each war will cause countless casualties. "

"But once Europe is unified into a whole, all the disputes will disappear. You also hope to see no more wars in Europe and no more people dying due to wars, right?"

Little Hepburn nodded seriously.

"You see, Germany has now integrated most of Europe. As long as Germany works harder, the whole of Europe will enjoy permanent peace. Why do you have any reason to hate it? You should support it. I believe most people do. They know right from wrong, only those with evil intentions clamor to oppose the Germans, but most of them are just liars."

Seeing Hepburn's half-understood look, Yannick smiled. "In general, these are adult matters. You are still a child. You will understand when you grow up. Are there no other problems now? Can you go to ballet school?"
