Chapter 36: New Passengers

Subtitle of this chapter: Lao Tzu can also be Barton's teacher?!

……………………

Captain Arnold was also a serious American officer.

Although the Seris people in this era have not yet become the intelligence thieves that Westerners have heard of, the hacker nest that can obtain any secret in the United States, and the copycat country that makes the black ribbon queen a makeover, he still has a sense of secrecy and anti-espionage in front of these two foreigners.

So after chatting a few words about the Air Force, he took the initiative to direct the topic to literary creation.

In the United States at this time, to be more precise, professional military officers in the West are all intellectuals with good backgrounds, and the old and rough warlords of Seris are basically two species, and it is normal to like literature......

Well, it's a bit unfair to say that. In the thirties, "Declaration-Free Talk" held a new vernacular poetry selection, and the solemn Chan general "Song of Lightning" was selected as one of the top ten for "popular words and true descriptions".

Of course, our Master Yuan will not envy this, even if the master ball is given away for nothing, he is not willing to copy anything" There was a sudden chain of fire in the sky, could it be that the Jade Emperor wanted to smoke. ”。

He smoked a cigar and drank a Coke, and under the influence of the two, he talked in high spirits: "You two have a good eye, as you say, in fact, I have borrowed from the history of England." The prototype of the Mad King of Targaryen is indeed Henry VI, and his daughter Mother of Dragons is naturally Henry ......VII, the nephew of Henry VI and the founder of the Tudor dynasty, the 'Good King' Henry VII."

"Well, Cersei Lannister is Margaret of Anjou, and the surnames Lannister and Lancaster are already obvious. They fight like a lioness to defend their son......"

"A Song of Ice and Fire is actually a magical version of the War of the Red and White Roses."

Yuan Yan was talking lively, when he saw the two officers beside him "soar" and stood up suddenly, and raised their hands to salute at the same time. He fixed his eyes on it, and another major officer entered the dining car.

The Northeast Corridor railway line passes through some of the best parts of the United States, and the destination is Washington, D.C., and it is only natural that there will be a man on the train. The train had just stopped in Philadelphia, and it was natural that new passengers were coming up at this time.

Although this officer passenger was younger than in the photo, Master Yuan was still very familiar with it, and subconsciously stood up.

Captain Arnold knew the major too, but the newcomer was the first to ask, "Henry, what a coincidence." Are you going back to Washington? ”

"That's right, George. What about you, going back to Fort Myer? The captain replied with a smile.

Fort Myer is located in southeastern Virginia, right next to Washington. A garrison of the capital was stationed there.

The unit was very busy and kept in combat readiness all year round, except that their mission was not to defend Washington, but to provide a glamorous military presence for events in the capital, a guard of honor that served as vases.

At this time, the major was working as a vase here...... Well, in service. He was the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, the equivalent of an infantry battalion commander. However, the daily work of the commander of this cavalry regiment was ...... Military funeral host.

Unexpectedly, the four-star general, who was later known for his irascibness, now went to the federal station every once in a while to load the coffins of fallen soldiers from all over the country onto gun trucks, and then escorted them through the city to Arlington National Cemetery in a solemn atmosphere. Sometimes, he has to preside over the funeral himself.

"By the way, let me introduce you." Captain Arnold pointed to the major and said, "This is my old friend......"

Major George Smith Patton Jr. is an old friend of Mau and Captain Henry Harry Arnold, as they are both good friends of Major George Cartlett Marshall.

Both Patton and Marshall had a close relationship with John Joseph Pershing, the only Army General in U.S. history (also translated as a six-star general).

Assuming that Pershing did not go to Europe to command the American European forces, he almost married Patton's sister Nida Patton, and the old and young love relationship later broke up because they had been in a long-distance relationship for a while. Marshall, on the other hand, served as Pershing's adjutant and chief aide for five years, from 1918 to 1923.

"These two are my new friends. This is our West Point alumnus, Major Lance-Cao. ”

The two majors of Yimei and No. 1 Middle School shook hands politely and exchanged a few words of greeting.

"And this is ......"

"I know this gentleman, NY of NY!" Major Patton interrupted the captain's introduction and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Mr. Yuan, my wife loves your "Chocolate of Love" very much, and among your works, my favorite is "The Case of Di Gong", ......."

The cult of knowledge, the cult of knowledge.

In the twentieth century, not only Seris was a writer with a high status, but also a writer from all over the world. Unlike later, when the Internet era of national writing was introduced, some people were embarrassed to tell others to write themselves.

Although the vast majority of Americans at this time, including these two active-duty junior officers, inevitably had a stereotype of people of color.

However, our Master Yuan is already a well-known family. This identity was very lethal to the intellectuals of the time.

In addition, don't look at later film and television works and stall literature, which portrayed Barton as a rough embryo, in fact, he was obviously from an aristocratic family. His father was a district attorney and mayor of San Marino, California, and his maternal grandfather was the first mayor of Los Angeles and the largest wine and brandy manufacturer in California.

How bad his family education could be, but this rich kid has always been ashamed of this, and later said that I think making a fortune from the inheritance of my ancestors is a sign of incompetence in itself. Come to think of it, His Majesty Trump will definitely not accept it.

In the past few years, he has been idle in this idle position, and he has spent his spare time studying.

"Ah, what an honor, Major Patton." Our Master Yuan hurriedly shook the other party's hand, and he felt like he had been pinched by a vice......

Oh, this guy has a lot of hands!

Yuan Yanqian quietly shook his hand, and was about to get close to the other party. At this moment, a familiar voice came to his ears:

"Dididi, this system has released a temporary mission: Master Barton."

"Mission content: It's to find a way to be Barton's teacher, no limit to anything, as long as the target acknowledges that the host is his teacher before this train arrives in Washington."

"Mission Reward: TBD."

"Failure Penalty: Failure or rejection of this quest will result in 3 points less from the host's strength."
