April 17, 1950, sunny. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's John today? It's Mr. Huntelaar's birthday, but the Huntelaar estate on the outskirts of New York is still quiet, and there is no celebratory atmosphere. The servants who occasionally appeared in the manor also had serious faces, and their hurried steps seemed to be extremely solemn.

In the sunniest bedroom, John was sitting on the edge of the bed with a gentle face.

Soft and comfy bed, Anna? Huntelaar also looked at John with a gentle face, but compared with John, who had a normal face, there was no trace of blood on Anna's face, and her already fair complexion was extremely pale, and there was a faint hint of gray......

John's right hand and Anna's left hand were clasped tightly.

"Ahem! Ahem! ”

Suddenly, Anna straightened up and coughed violently, and with the sound of these coughs, her face began to flush with a sickly flush.

John hurriedly helped his wife, patted her gently on the back, and said softly, "Do you want to drink some water?" ”

"No need."

When the coughing stopped, Anna shook her head and whispered, "Can you go out and sit in the garden?" I don't think I've been out in a long time...... It must be green outside now, right? ”

"Good!"

After a slight hesitation, John nodded vigorously. If you count it, it has been more than two months since Anna fell, except for the first period of time in the hospital busy with various examinations, and then I have been staying at home, and even more time lying in bed, and it is true that I have not gone out for a long time.

With the help of the maid, John pushed his wheelchair to the garden.

The wind and the sun were beautiful, the garden was already lush and green, and the green in her eyes was so comfortable to look at, Anna was lying on the wheelchair and looked at the scenery in front of her in a daze, as if she was fascinated by everything in her garden......

A breeze blew, and John immediately stood in front of Anna and asked in a low voice, "Honey, is it cold?" ”

"It's not cold!"

Shaking her head, Anna chuckled, "How can it be cold when you are so tightly wrapped?" Don't worry, it's just that I haven't seen such a beautiful scenery for a long time, and I was a little stunned for a while......"

Looking at Anna's pale smile, John felt a hard pang in his heart!

He is now recognized as the richest man in the world, but also the most powerful, and today the Huntelaar consortium is the world's number one, ranking third in the world in terms of annual sales, even after the GDP of the United States and China. In the field of medicine, John has more than 20 medical schools, hundreds of hospitals and 13 pharmaceutical companies in the United States, Germany and China, and has hundreds of thousands of top medical scientists, physicians and R&D personnel. But when his wife fell ill and the cause was identified, John found that he could do nothing – even if he had the medical equipment and medicines sixty years later, he would not be able to do anything!

All John could do was watch Anna get weaker day by day.

John knew this very well, and so did Anna, so she never asked herself how much time she had left, but hoped that her husband would spend more time with her, even if the two of them didn't say anything together......

With casual chit-talk, time passed slowly.

"Actually......"

Just finished a topic, Anna suddenly spoke: "The biggest John in my life is that I haven't been able to have a child, and if I can choose, I am even willing to exchange ten years of life for a child when I was young." ”

"Huh? Why did you suddenly remember to say this? ”

Slightly stunned, John asked with some puzzlement.

"Hehe, it's just a little unwilling."

Blinking, Anna chuckled: "When I think of the Huntelaar consortium that you have worked so hard to develop, I will be very unwilling to cheapen the US government in the future...... If we had children, the Huntelaar family would have been able to go on forever. ”

"Uh......"

Opening his mouth, John shook his head speechlessly.

Of course, it is impossible to say that there are no regrets about the fact that there have been no children, but slowly John saw it. To be able to live again, and it is such a wonderful life, what is it to have no children? And the problems that Anna is worried about do not exist for John at all, because John has already planned for the arrangement of the Huntelaar consortium in a hundred years......

With such a huge asset, it is certainly not all left to the Americans!

There are some things such as military aircraft manufacturing companies, weapons manufacturing companies, etc., the US government cannot allow John to deal with them freely, but there are many companies such as chemicals, automobiles, agricultural machinery, communications, etc., technology, capital, etc., John has already moved to the Far East. Of course, in order to avoid the entanglement of the U.S. government, John did not plan to complete it quickly from the beginning, but started from the Great Depression era, and did it slowly after World War II and the years after World War II, and it will continue to do so in the future!

Today, the assets of the Huntelaar consortium in China have exceeded half of the total assets!

Even those technologies and assets that cannot be transferred, through the good relationship between China and the United States over the years, John has also cultivated countless talents for China, such as computers, engines, optics, precision equipment, etc., which made China extremely painful in his previous life. Especially after the defeat of Germany in World War II, a large number of elites, in addition to the United States, were lured by the high salaries of the Huntelaar consortium to go to the Far East......

Seventy-year-old John? Huntelaar has already begun to prepare for what will happen after death.

It is impossible to completely abandon the Americans and transfer all assets to China, the US government will not allow it, and the Chinese government does not have the guts. Despite the stimulus of the Great Depression and World War II, China's industrial level jumped thousands of miles, taking advantage of the post-war weakness of Europe and Japan, and completely gaining a foothold, becoming a great power second only to the United States. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the foundation of the Chinese is still too thin!

Although the scale of the industry is large, it is not strong enough.

Once the old European empires are relieved, they will be strong competitors to China, so the best thing to do now is to continue to maintain good relations with the Americans, and take advantage of the opportunity to unite against the Soviet Union to reap more benefits. For example, the atomic bombs, rockets and missiles that China is secretly researching, without the acquiescence of the US government, John could not do anything even if he wanted to help.

But......

One day in the future, these two countries will eventually go against each other.

This is a matter of nature, especially in this world, where China in 1950 was ten times stronger than China in another world? In the future, as long as the government itself does not die, it will certainly be able to become stronger day by day, and then the confrontation between them and the United States will certainly be unavoidable......

"What do you want, dear?"

Just as the countless thoughts in John's mind were turning, Anna asked with a smile as she gently pulled him.

"Oh, didn't think about anything."

John, who came back to his senses, shook his head with a smile, and said softly: "It's not a short time to come out, let's go back?" ”

Looking at the sun gradually setting in the west, Anna took one last look at the garden with some nostalgia, and finally nodded: "Hmm...... All right. ”

Standing up and pushing Anna's wheelchair, John and the others walked towards the door of their house.

John walked slowly, his head bowed and laughed softly with his wife, the reddened sunlight behind him shining on his still solid and broad back, casting a long shadow on the ground, stretching forward......
