Chapter subtitled: The Spy Boss and the Escape Specialist

……………………

"Mr. Yuan, it's a pleasure to meet you. My wife and I are your fans. ”

"Yes, Mr. Yuan. I really like your "Chocolate Love". ”

Kishigero Bihara (1872-1951) was a career diplomat, fluent in English, and without the apo-pom flavor of Japanese English. And Mrs. Bihara, who is dressed in a traditional kimono, is also from an extraordinary background, she is the fourth daughter of Yataro Iwasaki, the founder of the Mitsubishi chaebol, and her accent is quite understandable.

Therefore, Bihara Shigekiyo and former foreign minister, Prime Minister Takaaki Kato are brothers-in-law.

Master Yuan, who had a charm of 17 points, bowed slightly, and said in American English that was even more authentic than them: "Mrs. Biyuan, Minister Biyuan." It is my pleasure. ”

The Japanese ambassador to the United States suddenly changed to Chinese and said, "Mr. Yuan, Nomura-kun is full of praise for you, saying that Mr. Hongxian is the light of our Greater East Asia." When I saw it today, it was really heroic, and the country was unparalleled! ”

This benevolent brother is a diplomat with a professional background, and it is normal for him to speak several foreign languages.

After graduating from Imperial University, he joined the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served as Foreign Affairs Clerk, Minister to the Netherlands, and Counselor at the Embassy in the United States. From 1915 onwards, he served as Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs in the Second Okuma Shigenobu Cabinet, the Terauchi Masatoshi Cabinet, and the Hara Kei Cabinet. He is not only the current minister to the United States, but will soon become the plenipotentiary representative of the Japanese side at the Washington Conference.

Therefore, Minister Bihara not only speaks fluent English, but also has a good Chinese, and it is just right to praise people...... Well, anyway, our Master Yuan thinks that "the majestic and heroic, the national warrior is unparalleled." These eight words are perfect for yourself.

People were so polite, and Yuan Yanqian naturally said in Chinese very modestly: "Minister Yuanyuan's words really make me feel embarrassed." I'm ashamed that I've only done a little bit of work and written a few books. Where can we deserve such praise as the Light of Greater East Asia? ”

Kishigero Bihara took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Deserve it, you can afford it completely." As an East Asian, Mr. Yuan can be among the English literary circles, which is to add glory to the yellow race. ”

To put it bluntly, as a non-native English writer, it is okay to be able to mix to the level of our Master Yuan. However, entering the English literary world is only a small goal, and dominating the world literary world is his real goal.

The vast majority of Japanese after the First Sino-Japanese War must have discriminated against the Chinese people. However, when it comes to the Yellow Race in Greater East Asia, the Japanese are much more persistent in the competition. For example, when Liu Xiang broke the world record in the future, the Japanese media was also very excited with honor.

Yuan Yanqian was about to be polite again, when several caucasian people came over.

I saw the middle-aged man who led the way in a standard London accent...... How is it possible, the so-called London accent is the accent of the inferior people in the East End of London.

People speak the highest Oxford accent in English, also known as King's/Queen's English, which is the most standard accent in British English.

"Minister Bihara, I really saw you here."

Kishigero Bihara looked happy and bowed respectfully with his attachés, "Lady Hoare, Sir Hoare, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Sir and Mrs. Hall...... Yuan Yan said in her heart, then this should be the current British minister to the United States, Samuel John Gurney Hoare (Samuel John Gurney Hoare) from the baron.

Now the Conservative Party is in power in Britain, so there is no need to ask, the officials in it are either rich or expensive. For example, the Hall minister inherited his father's subordinate baron.

Baronet and Baronetess are titles unique to England that, as the name suggests, are below the barons and above the knights. In continental Europe, there was no equivalent to the title of baron, only Prussia and the Netherlands were more recent in nature as "hereditary knights".

The person who holds this title can be officially called Sir, and his wife can also be named Lady.

In the same way that the English aristocracy was raised, Hall attended Harrow School, second only to Eton College, and then went to Oxford University. After graduating, he entered politics and was elected to the House of Commons of the Conservative Party on behalf of Chelsea in 1910. The district seat was maintained until 1944.

During the First World War, he became an intelligence officer in the British Army and was a member of the military mission in Russia (1916-1917) and then in Italy (1917-1918).

While in Italy, he was the head of MI5 in Rome, where he led 100 British agents. Mussolini, the "hanged man", was his agent at the time, and it was said that he could receive £100 a week in funding for his activities.

The Anglo-Japanese alliance has not yet been dissolved, and the relationship between the two countries is not bad, so these two are naturally old friends. So they greeted each other very warmly.

After chatting for a while, Minister Biyuan remembered Yuan Yanqian beside him, and pointed with his hand: "Allow me to introduce you, this is Mr. Neo-Yuan, a writer who has recently become famous, from China." ”

"Hello, Mr. Yuan." Minister Hall said coldly.

"Hello, Sir Hall." Yuan Yanqian responded even more coldly.

Instead, Mrs. Hall's eyes lit up and she asked, "Mr. Neo-Yuan, are you the author of "Chocolate Love" and "A Song of Ice and Fire?" ”

Saying that, she also took the initiative to stretch out her "jade hand". Seeing this, Yuan Yanqian also had a way, as long as she pursed her lips, she gave a perfunctory kiss and said, "Dear madam, these two books are exactly what I wrote." ”

"Oh......" Sir Hall also remembered who this Chinese was, but he didn't care about what Master Yuan wrote, he cared about the political commentary written by Master Yuan.

He shook his head and said, "Mr. Yuan, I've also read yours, it's really good." But what about your political essays......"

"I have to say, your views are too biased!"

Yuan Yan sneered and said, "Sir Hall thinks my political arguments are biased?" Aren't you the empire on which the sun never sets, or are you not shooting innocent people in Ireland? ”

"I have to say, your country is too ...... Barbarous! ”

He was the diplomatic envoy of the world's largest power, and Sir Hale didn't bother to talk nonsense with a little person like Neo-Yuan, and he simply pretended not to hear it.

It's just that a military attache stationed abroad behind him doesn't have such a good temperament, so he only heard the lieutenant colonel snort coldly: "Mr. Yuan, may I ask if we are more barbaric in Britain than you in China?" ”

Yuan Yanqian had heard this person's name just now, so he looked at the other party's epaulettes and opened his mouth to confirm: "May I ask you are Lieutenant Colonel Harold Alexander?" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Alexander said in an Oxford accent: "Yes, I am." ”

Pretend to fuck you than ! What is there like for an escape expert to pretend to be in front of Lao Tzu?

That's right, this gentleman is the Harold-Alexander who "calmly and calmly" commanded the retreat from Dunkirk and Burma.
