Subtitle of this chapter: Second-class people

……………………

The three of them sat down and ordered a soft drink each...... No way, alcohol is banned in the United States now, of course there are no taboos if it is in private, but they are on the train, so they can't drink Lafite of a good year, and they can only drink this year's Coca-Cola.

Coca-Cola in these years really contains trace amounts of cocaine (Coke in English), which is particularly refreshing when you drink it, and of course it is easy to get addicted. That's why it's called Coke-Cola.

And this thing has not yet entered the market of Seris, and it did not appear on the streets of Shanghai until 1927 in the original timeline, and the translation name is "tadpole gnawing wax......

However, the strange taste of this thing, coupled with the strange name, naturally sold poorly. So, the following year, the beverage company went public and offered a £350 bounty for a name.

In the end, Jiang Yi, the magistrate of Jiujiang County, Jiangxi Province at that time, defeated all his opponents and took away the prize money. And the beverage company has also earned Coca-Cola, which is recognized by the advertising industry as the best translated brand name to date. Not only does it maintain the transliteration of English, but it also has more meaning than English. More importantly, it is easy to recite both in writing and orally. (note 1)

This is Coca-Cola's first step into the Chinese market.

Of course, on this timeline, there is nothing to do with County Magistrate Jiang, just have our Master Yuan here.

Before Yuan Yanqian and Cao Linsheng could introduce themselves, the "Captain America" smiled at Master Yuan and asked, "Excuse me, you are Mr. Neo-Yuan, right?" ”

Neo-Yuan was taken aback and said, "That's right, I am." Excuse me, Mr. Captain, how do you know me? ”

"Hahaha, Mr. Yuan, how could I not know you? A half-million-dollar gambler, a generous donor to New York University, the sole suspect in the Wall Street bombings, a political critic of the Democratic administration, a Chinese lover of a movie star, plus ......"

The captain took out a magazine from his briefcase, opened the cover and pointed to a photo of Master Yuan, and said, "You are still the author of "A Song of Ice and Fire"! ”

That's right, in fact, our Master Yuan is already well-known in the American cultural circles, some intellectuals, and the middle class who are more concerned about current politics and cultural news.

As the lieutenant said, Yuan Yanqian entered the American public eye in a very impressive way from the beginning. Of course, the general public's memory of news and news figures is always very short, but he has always consciously or unconsciously maintained this heat.

After our Master Yuan came out of the hospital, he sprayed the Democratic Party and President Wilson every now and then. His relationship with Lillian Gish is also not hidden, so sometimes he has appeared in some gossip tabloids. In addition, of course, there are a few of his books.

As a military captain, Mr. is naturally concerned about current affairs, and his hobbies are quite extensive, plus his eyesight is also good. So after seeing this Oriental FACE, I recognized Yuan Yanqian.

And Master Yuan has been mixed in with acquaintances recently, but he doesn't realize that he is now a celebrity.

"I love A Song of Ice and Fire. Mr. Yuan, can you sign my name? ”

How could Yuan Yanqian refuse such a request, and happily nodded in agreement. He took the magazine handed over by the other party, and asked as he took out his golden pen, "Mr. Captain, please tell me your name is ......"

“Henry Harley Arnold！”

Our Master Yuan wrote on his photo: Dedicated to Captain Henry Harry Arnold......

Wait, if it's not so coincidental to have the same name, isn't this the father of the American Air Force in front of you, the father of the second-class people?!

If Yuan Yanqian is not a fake and shoddy military fan but a real military enthusiast, then he can confirm his identity with the merit badge on the opponent's left chest, which is known as the rank and seniority medal in China in later generations. Of course, a fake and shoddy military fan like him can't understand what qualifications these fancy things represent.

But doesn't he have a master ball......

"Master Ball, search for it...... By the way, I want photos too!"

When he signed his autograph here to check the information, Major Cao Linsheng, who was sitting next to him, introduced himself: "Captain, thank you just now. My name is Lance Cao, a major in the Republic of China, from West Point in the class of 1918. ”

Captain Arnold said with some surprise: "Major Cao, I didn't expect you to be my junior, I am from the class of 1907. ”

The two officers shook hands vigorously, and the conversation began very warmly.

Master Yuan, who hastily read the information, said in his heart, then it should be right. It may not have been so coincidental that there were two Henry Harry Arnold among the 1907 West Point graduates.

As we all know, this gentleman will be a five-star general of the American Air Force in the future. He was not only a second-class father, but he commanded the largest air force in human history during World War II.

This air force includes 15 air groups, 234 combat aviation groups, a total of 2.5 million personnel, and up to 70,000 aircraft of various types.

Unprecedented, that's for sure, is it never...... If humanity does not enter the interstellar age and build a trans-star fleet, it will be difficult for even the United States itself to repeat such a grand occasion.

The reason why he became the father of the second-class people was because he became interested in flying machines at an early age. In 1911 Mr. Arnold volunteered to go to Dayton, Ohio, to learn to fly with the Wright brothers. After accumulating 3 hours and 48 minutes of flying experience, he became one of the first pilots in the U.S. Army, and the following year he set a world record of 6,540 feet, for which he was awarded the Medal of Victory.

After that, he had an unfortunate but normal flight accident and was grounded for four years. It is normal for aircraft to have accidents in these years, but it is abnormal that there are no accidents.

The so-called blessing and misfortune, his flying career suffered a big blow, and he had to serve in the Philippine infantry unit. But it was there that he met his nobleman, George Marshall.

In 1916, he returned to China and was again transferred to the Army Air Corps and was promoted to captain.

After the United States entered World War I, he was assigned to command a flying unit in Panama, and then, in recent years, he served at Army Air Corps headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Then it makes sense that they "met" here.

The Pennsylvania native returned home to visit family and is now on his way back to Washington.

The author declares: The above historical materials are by no means Baidu, they are all written down by Murong word by word. And these are also historical facts.

………………

Note 1: This Jiang Yi county magistrate is also quite stupid. Born in 1903, he participated in the May Fourth Movement and joined the Seventh Army of the National Revolution as Secretary General of the Political Department during the Northern Expedition. After April 12, he was discouraged by the future of the revolution and resigned to teach in Shanghai. Later, he was recommended by a friend in the artillery party and became a county magistrate for a few years.

However, he still couldn't get used to the Cannon government, so he went to England in 1933 to further his studies, and became a famous painter. During World War II, he joined the British intelligence agency as a Chinese translator.
