Chapter 596: Li Fuzhen's Courage
Early the next morning, before dawn, Dean Morgan and Li Fuzhen drove to Little Morgan Manor.
"Dean, isn't it too early for us to visit the patriarch and his wife at this time?" Looking at the dark night sky outside the car, Li Fuzhen turned his head suspiciously and looked at Dean Morgan, who was driving beside him.
"It's not early! My brother asked me to take you to breakfast. ”
"It's a little early to have breakfast together! It's not half past five yet!"
"I'll take you to a place to see something before breakfast. ”
"See what?"
"You'll know when you get there. ”
Dean Morgan smiled mysteriously.
The three-kilometer journey was a short one, and a few minutes later, Dean Morgan drove to Little Morgan Manor, parked the car and took Li Fuzhen towards Swan Lake in front of the main building.
The two came to Swan Lake, where Dean Morgan swept away the snow from a rock by the lake and sat down with Li Fuzhen.
Swan Lake is very quiet in the early morning, and the air that blows slightly across the lake brings a hint of fishy smell.
Li Fuzhen tightened his coat, looked at the sky that was gradually shining in the east, and asked. "Do you want to show me the sunrise? I shouldn't be able to see the sunrise in this weather today!"
"It's not sunrise, you'll find out later. Dean Morgan took out his phone and looked at the time on it, and said excitedly after 5:20. "It's about to start. ”
Li Fuzhen looked at Dean Morgan's excited appearance and smiled, didn't speak, waited quietly, time passed slowly minute by minute, and as time went by, some people came to the lake one after another.
When the time came to 5:29, three soldiers came to the lake with bagpipes.
A desolate and tragic melody immediately sounded, drifting ...... between heaven and earth.
At the end of the song, the three soldiers left with bagpipes, and the people gathered by the lake also left one after another, leaving only Dean Morgan and Li Fuzhen still sitting by the lake.
"What's the name of the piece they played, and why does it sound so tragic and desolate?" Li Fuzhen was moved by this bagpipe performance, and there were some tears in the corners of his eyes.
This song is called "Song of Independence", which is composed to commemorate the people who sacrificed their lives for the country in the War of Independence, and will be resounded by Swan Lake every morning, reminding everyone to work hard and everything today is not easy to come by. At the same time, it is also a wake-up call to the patriarch to get up and work. ”
Dean Morgan said, gesturing to the lighted windows in the east and west wings of the main building. "Over there is the patriarch's bedroom, and over there is the young patriarch's bedroom, and when the Song of Independence sounds, the assistant will wake them up.
But they all wake up early, basically at 5 o'clock. ”
Li Fuzhen looked in the direction of Dean Morgan's finger, those windows were indeed lit up, and the Morgan family was obviously rich enough to rival the country and was in charge of the world's only superpower, but they still worked so hard, which made Li Fuzhen a little moved.
"Let's go, the patriarch has already risen, let's go to the dining room and wait for them. ”
Dean Morgan then walked towards the main building with Li Fuzhen, entered the dining room and waited for the old Morgan to arrive.
Old Morgan and Mrs. Morgan were the first to arrive, and John was the last, and the two of them got to know each other and took their seats.
Morgan's breakfast is rich, fried, boiled and stewed, sweet, sour, salty and spicy, and the buffet mode is adopted, and you can take whatever you like.
John likes to drink porridge, or eat some wine-stuffed eggs, with a little ham and dried fish...... A side dish like that, it's just a breakfast.
Mrs. Morgan used to like to eat omelets and grilled vegetables, and now she also likes to drink some rice porridge, which is mainly to nourish people and is low in calories, so she is not easy to gain weight.
Old Morgan likes high-calorie foods, such as omelettes, sausages, steaks, lobster cakes, and the like.
"Take whatever you like, eat to your heart's content!"
Mrs. Morgan looked at Li Fuzhen, who was sitting opposite and drinking milk.
Li Fuzhen nodded obediently, the food on the table was very rich, but the person sitting in front of her made her very stressed, and she didn't dare to get up and choose food at will, or Dean Morgan on the side helped her get some sandwiches, fried eggs and ham, otherwise her breakfast today might be a glass of warm milk.
"Dani, have you done what I told you to do yesterday?"
John asked Dani yesterday to tell the Staten D.C. government to send some Christmas items to immigrants there.
"I've arranged for the Staten District Government and the Borderless Foundation to come and distribute it today. Dani replied. However, after some discussion, they decided not to send out the goods, but to give out supermarket shopping vouchers for $200 each, and buy whatever they wanted. ”
"That's fine. ”
John nodded, issuing supermarket shopping vouchers is more flexible, and you can buy what you don't need.
"However, Madam Hepburn may be back to you today, when I contacted the Borderless Foundation yesterday, she asked me when you were available today. Dani said.
"What's the matter with her looking for me?" asked John.
"I guess it's for the Rwandan side.
Rwanda's civil war continues to this day, with thousands of people dying every day, more than a million dead so far, and hundreds of thousands of women being taken by strong women.
Although the United Nations has sent more than 1,000 peacekeepers to Rwanda to stop the war, the results are not good, the two sides are still attacking each other, and it will take at least seven or eight thousand people and billions of dollars to completely stop the war.
But the United States did not participate, nor did the countries that have a relationship with us, and the United Nations needs our support if it wants to spend more than a billion dollars and gather seven or eight thousand people!
So they asked Ms. Hepburn to be a lobbyist. ”
The Rwandan genocide was originally only a year old, but now the United States has not participated in peacekeeping, and the United Nations peacekeeping force is not enough to quell the Rwandan civil war, so the war continues to this day.
"Father, what is going to happen about this?" asked John, turning his head to look at old Morgan beside him.
"It's up to you. Morgan Sr. had no interest in public welfare events, let alone running to the distant African continent to save a group of black people they didn't know.
"Okay. ”
John nodded when he heard Morgan Sr. and thought about it.
Li Fu on the side suddenly mustered up his courage and looked at John. "The Rwandan genocide is now in the global spotlight, and the United States, as the only superpower today, has the responsibility and obligation to prevent the genocide from happening.
Therefore, whether it is for the sake of responsibility, obligation, or the values that have been exported to the outside world, the United States cannot sit idly by, and should actively participate in the peacekeeping in Rwanda and strive to prevent this war. ”
"Yes. ”
John nodded. "$200 million to send 2,000 troops to participate in United Nations peacekeeping operations. ”
Li Fuzhen is very right, the values that the United States has been exporting to the outside world cannot be allowed to sit idly by all the time, otherwise the values that have been painstakingly operated for so many years will collapse.
Li Fuzhen was relieved to see that John accepted his suggestion, if she couldn't bear to see thousands of people dying every day, she would definitely not dare to speak. Dean Morgan, who was on the side, quietly reached under the table and gave her a thumbs up.
