On stage, Nadya had already made one last move, and before she left the stage, she winked at Ron with a smile on her face. Obviously, she noticed Ron's presence, but Nadya was noticeably more mature now than she was a few months ago, and the thing like before would make a mistake on stage just because she saw Ron would never happen again.

"The ugly duckling has not only become a white swan, but also has become accustomed to his white swan identity." Ron sat in the audience and thought. When the white swan has fully realized that he is a white swan, the previous youthful and shy beauty gradually disappeared from Nadya, but another elegant and graceful beauty became more and more obvious in Nadya.

"So, Ron, this woman is also an opportunity for you. We Americans like to see conquest, and one of the signs of conquering an enemy country is a beautiful woman who can conquer an enemy country. Just like Alexander the Great married the daughter of Darius III. Of course, in general, this has to be after the victory. But if you can kidnap other people's princesses before the war, just like Yi Asong did back then. That's pretty good, too. Now some people have a lot of concerns about your relationship with this swan princess, what are they worried about? Quite simply, what they worry about is who exactly captured whom. So, if you really like this princess, the most important thing now is to convince people that it was you who captured her, not the other way around. Barton continued his teaching to Ron, a young man who came after him.

If I had been chasing the swan princess, I'm sure no one would have worried that I was a captive. You have to think about the truth in this. Well, the following show doesn't really mean much to you, does it? Do whatever you want! ”

Ron smiled at Barton, stood up, and took advantage of the intermission to leave his seat and walk backstage.

Ron understood what Barton meant. Indeed, if it was Patton who had an affair with a Russian woman, of course, everyone would not have worried that Patton would fall to the Soviet Union. The reason is simple, Patton's big mouth makes his political attitude, especially on the question of how to view the Soviet Union, so clear, that it is enough to dispel the concerns of others. But can you really follow his example? Ron knew he couldn't go down this path. In fact, all the while, Ron knew he felt more like a technocrat than a majestic general. Suddenly changing your style will only make others more suspicious. Still, Barton's reminder is very valuable. Ron had another way to achieve something similar.

After World War II, with the unfolding of the Cold War, McCarthyism was engaged in the United States for a long time. Anyway, if it weren't for Mr. McCarthy's help, the rabbit's two bombs and one star would have taken much longer. During the period when McCarthyism was rampant, even figures like General Marshall were investigated, and even more so were persecuted by technical officials. However, there is one kind of person who will never be investigated. That's the real masters of America -- the rich people of Wall Street. In fact, Ron has accumulated a certain amount of wealth by relying on those patents. And as a time-traveler, he also has a certain understanding of what can bring wealth in the later life. As long as you rush into Wall Street before McCarthyism is rampant, these kinds of problems will never be a big problem.

With that in mind, Ron went backstage.

Backstage, Ron didn't have any familiar friends this time, but the star on his collar helped him. Although the backstage janitor didn't let him in, he agreed to help him go inside to inform him.

"General, you have to understand that there are a lot of disheveled celebrities inside, so I can't let you in. However, I can bring you a message in. The old lady who was guarding the door had a pleasant face.

Ron, of course, had no choice but to agree. After a while, the old lady came out, and she told Ron, "Miss Nadya is still waiting for the locker room." When she changed her clothes, she came out immediately. ”

Ron found a bench next to him and sat down. If a woman tells you "right away" when she changes clothes, this right away will generally be much longer than the "right away" you're used to. For example, Ron felt as if he had been waiting for centuries, but Nadya still didn't show up.

Just when Ron was almost unable to bear it and was about to trouble the old lady to take a look again, he suddenly heard this:

"General Ron, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Ron turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in a second lieutenant uniform walking this way. This person Ron recognizes, in fact, not only Ron recognizes him, but in the United States, there don't seem to be many people who don't know him. This ensign who is so famous is Clark?? Gable.

Clarke?? Gable's crew had a holiday today, so everyone came together to watch the show. And Gable, who is more familiar with these female stars, was sent out by the captain to ask for photos and autographs from those female stars. So, it was here that he met Ron.

"Ah, it's Clark. You're coming to visit your old friends? "To be honest, Ron and Gable weren't familiar with each other, but in the midst of a boring wait, it would be nice to have someone to talk to.

"yes, it's been a long time since I've seen those lovely girls. General, are you waiting for someone here? Gable asked rhetorically.

"Wait for my girlfriend. She was changing her clothes and was said to be 'coming out soon'. Ron smiled and shook his head.

"Ah, you really need to wait, then, general, as far as I know, the young ladies don't have enough time to change their clothes, and it's enough for us to go to Berlin for a spin. Oh, by the way, which girl captured our hero? ”

"You should ask me which beautiful woman I captured." Ron replied, "I caught a white swan." ”

At this moment, the backstage door opened again, and Nadya, who had just changed into a white dress, walked out.

"Ron!" She flew towards Ron like a little bird and crashed headfirst into Ron's arms, "You've been waiting for a long time, huh?" There are so few locker rooms here, and I've waited a long time for my turn. ”

"Not long, actually." Ron said, "Shall we go out for a walk?" ”

"Well, I'll listen to you!" Nadya said, taking Ron's arm.

"Clark, then I'll take my leave." Ron said to Gable.

"You are free. Congratulations to you, General, I now believe that you are a good hunter. Gable smiled his trademark smile at them.

Walking out of the theatre, Ron and Nadya found themselves on the streets of Edinburgh.

"Where are we going?" Nadya asked.

Ron looked up, looked around, then pointed in one direction and said, "Go there, Edinburgh Castle is there." When you arrive in Edinburgh, you have to visit the castle. You know, in the United States, it's hard to find a real castle. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Nadya grabbed Ron's arm and shook it gently.

Although you can see Edinburgh Castle from the street, it is still very far away. Luckily, a taxi happened to be coming. Ron reached out to stop it, and got into the car with Nadya.

After getting into the taxi, Nadya asked Ron about the history of Edinburgh Castle. To be honest, Ron didn't know much about the castle, but he vaguely remembered that the castle seemed to be similar to William?? Wallace related. So he told Nadya about William?? Wallace's story. Of course, Ron is equally ignorant of the true history of the legendary Scottish hero. The story he's telling is actually exactly Mel?? The story from Gibson's movie.

This story full of romantic heroism clearly touched Nadya. This can be easily seen in her big flickering eyes.

The taxi stopped near the castle. Ron and Nadya got out of the car, and Ron asked, "How much?" ”

"Ah, no need. That wonderful story of yours is worth the money. Although I know that what you say is nonsense, but, sir, I must admit that you have done a great job. The driver replied. He then said to Nadya:

"Girl, it must be a blessing to have such a boyfriend who can make up stories. But be careful, it's hard for such a man to deceive people. ”

"Ron won't lie to me." Nadya shook her head.

"Did he tell you that this castle is a very romantic place? In fact...... Well, I'm still not going to say it. ”

"Ron, what did you not tell me?" Nadya looked at Ron with wide, beautiful eyes.

"No, I'm just improvising. Seriously, I don't know anything about this castle. Ron said innocently. Then he turned to the driver, "Sir, can you tell us about the castle?" ”

"I don't want it." The driver said, "I'm not as good at making up stories as you are, and if I had to, I'd have to tell the truth." ”

"You've piqued my interest." Ron said, "I really don't know. ”

"Alright then, I'll say it! Edinburgh Castle is a famous ghost castle. It is the most famous ghost castle in Europe and even in the world. Despite the fact that it's daytime, one of the great features of Edinburgh Castle is that it can be haunted during the day. But don't be too afraid, miss. Our Scottish ghosts are just a little mischievous, but not evil. The ghosts don't kill as many people in 10,000 years as a stupid hat doctor kills in a day. At most, they tickle you with their hands that you can't see, and they don't really hurt. ”
