Chapter 146: Preparation

The ship docked at the pier, and the first to greet Zhou Nan was always the idle John, whose tail wagged like hot wheels, so that Zhou Nan always had a warmth in his heart every time he saw it.

John was his most loyal companion at all times. Whether rich or poor, toiling or leisurely, its attitude never changes because of the change of circumstances.

Tethered the cable to the pillar, Zhou Nan touched its head, and it took the lead towards the main house with satisfaction, and as it walked, it looked back at Zhou Nan and Audrey from time to time.

At this time, the trainer rode Sergi along the horse track next to the track like a thunderous gallop. John tilted his head, looked at Sergi, and walked back slowly, ignoring it.

In the past, it would be jealous every time it saw Zhou Nan and Audrey riding Albert and Sergi, and would bark a few times when it saw two horses.

But in the spring, two trainers took their horses to England for a low-level ranking race, which lasted for two months.

I didn't see him for a long time, and when I came back, I stopped yelling at the two horses.

Albert did very well, finishing second in the first race for a three-year-old in the derby and is now a well-known name in the UK.

Unfortunately, Sergi was seriously injured and broke his right front horse's hoof as soon as he ran a little on the field, so he had to be transported back to heal.

After living in the pasture for a long time, they drink mineral water every day, eat fresh grass and various nutrients that are not polluted by the pasture, and now both horses are a little unaccustomed to the water and soil of the United Kingdom.

The UK is arguably the worst polluted region in the world, not to mention pollution, and the UK's water quality is also the worst in the world.

Their water is on the hard side, and they don't know what it contains, but it's easy to cause hair loss anyway. As long as I have lived in the UK for a long time, I almost all become bald when I reach the age.

And now Britain is so polluted that even horses are not used to getting there.

But there is no way, the best horse racing organization in the world is the United Kingdom, and the areas where horse racing is popular in the later world are also influenced by the United Kingdom.

Behind them, Glevin followed on a Hanoverian horse, but the horse was not trained for speed, so he did not let go of his speed.

After this year's World Economic Forum, the Dutch parliament awarded Zhou Nan the Military Wilhelm Medal and gave Zhou Nan two Groningen horses.

By June, West Germany was officially formed, and Adenauer became the first chancellor of the West German government.

He was much more generous than the Dutch, and directly sent two Hanoverian horses and two Holstein horses that had been bred in the former army.

Now the stables in Zhou Nan's house are no longer empty, and even if Albert is not there, there are seven horses.

Glevin could no longer cope with the breeding of these horses, so Zhou Nan also found a groom to feed these horses.

These horses are much easier to serve than two English horses, and they are also smart and well-behaved. Zhou Nan now likes the Holstein stallion he named Zephyr the most, and he rides twice a day on the farm when he has nothing to do.

As for Albert, now he only has to give him the life to make money, anyway, Zhou Nan has lost interest in it.

If it weren't for the fact that these two horses were given by Marita, Zhou Nan would have wanted to sell them a long time ago.

The British thoroughbred is the second cargo of the horse, and it is useless except for a short run of speed.

Audrey is now empathetic, and her favorite is the Groningen horse, which is a tall, steady horse that she can ride or sit on her side.

And these horses are very smart, and they quickly know who their owners are, and they are very well-behaved.

Seeing Zhou Nan come back, Stolco walked out of the Sennar villa, beckoned to Zhou Nan, and shouted.

Audrey took the schoolbag that Zhou Nan was carrying, and said, "You go to work first, I'll leave the schoolbag at home, and then go play with Taishan for a while." ”

Tarzan is Audrey's Groningen horse, because of its majestic and stable, Audrey gave the name of Tarzan.

Zhou Nan kissed her on the forehead and said with a smile: "Kelly has also prepared a small celebration to celebrate your graduation, you go and see how the preparations are, and I will be back in a while." ”

The two separated, and Zhou Nan followed the lake to Villa Sennar and along the garden to the bottom of the steps.

Stolko lit a cigarette and said: "Jonas, Berlin has been blockaded for more than half a month, and the Soviets are going to completely oppose the West this time. Chancellor Adenauer hoped that he would seek an opportunity for direct dialogue with the Soviet Union without going through Western countries, and that we would be able to help him mediate. ”

Zhou Nan shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Adenauer is not unaware of the impact of the Berlin crisis on the whole world, and he is now taking me too seriously, which is not in our interest. Although I sympathize with the Germans, I will never wade into troubled waters just because I want to help Germany. ”

Stolko frowned and asked, "If it's just a central contact, it should be fine, right?" ”

Stolko was unaware of the dangers of the Berlin crisis, but Zhou Nan was very clear. It can be said that if the United States had not threatened the Soviet Union, if it had provoked a war, it would have dropped the atomic bomb on Moscow, and the Soviet army would have been dispatched long ago.

Now everyone thinks that the Berlin crisis is only temporary and should soon be over. But the crisis lasted for almost a year, 11 months.

Both the East and the West are now on fire, and no one is willing to give in, and it is impossible for anyone to mediate in the middle of the situation.

Until next summer, the Soviet Union's first atomic bomb was successfully developed, so that it was no longer afraid of US nuclear blackmail. In order to buy time to develop more atomic bombs, they made a few concessions on the surface and lifted the blockade.

In this way, the Western countries also took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey and quickly stopped the military confrontation in Germany.

However, the Soviet Union, which developed the atomic bomb, made a big deal this time, and they knew that Europe was the G-spot of the United States, so they did not dare to stimulate it casually. But in Asia, in the Americas, the Americas, the nest of the United States, they began to propagate their revolution and look for a new battlefield.

The Peninsular War, later the Vietnam War, and the Cuban Crisis were in fact inevitable choices in this environment. So even if Zhou Nan knew about this history in advance, he had no way to stop it.

One person can change one thing, or many things, but it is impossible to change the overall situation of world development.

Zhou Nan has no dedication, and is willing to put himself in danger for these things.

Of course, it is impossible for Stolko to know these things that have not yet happened, and no matter how well he understands the world situation, it is impossible for Zhou Nan to have a more accurate control of the overall situation.

So Zhou Nan patiently analyzed with him the inevitability of the tiger riding in the East and the West now.

"Don't talk about us, neither Truman nor Iron Man can change the inevitable trend of the current situation. We must not get caught up in this strife and lose our independent, neutral position. Instead, they watched the fire from the other side, looking for opportunities that were more beneficial to themselves from this crisis. ”

"So how do we get back to Bonn?"

Now the capital of West Germany is Bonn, how to reply to Bonn, that is, to respond to the West German government.

Zhou Nan thought for a while and said, "Let Adenauer communicate directly with Attlee, I will definitely not interfere in this matter." ”

Zhou Nan's words are more resolute, but when it comes to specific recovery, Stolko will of course have a good grasp of proportion, which is a necessary ability of a mature politician.

Zhou Nan used it very smoothly with what he had already used, and he also believed in his ability very much.

As for whether Stolko would betray, Zhou Nan was never worried. Although he is not a high-ranking and powerful now, for him, a political prisoner who has lost his entry into the political circle, there is no better job than following Zhou Nan to stir up the world.

What's more, his home is now on Jonas Farm, and his eldest son Kelvin is now entrusted with a heavy task by Zhou Nan, and it is absolutely impossible for him to betray Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan thought about it, this year's Europe will be a mess, and he is no longer suitable to stay in Europe. In the coming year, there will be many such crises and troubles, so it is better to slip away as soon as possible.

"Ludwig, in a few days I will be going on holiday with Audrey to England and by the way to London to see the Olympics. Then I will not return to Switzerland and go directly to South China. You need to worry about things at home. ”

Stolko nodded and said, "At this time, it's good for you to leave Europe......

However, Zhou Nan wanted to leave Switzerland, and he could not leave immediately, he had to ask the Federal Council for leave before he could go abroad.

But for the response to the Berlin crisis, Zhou Nan has also arranged it a long time ago. His departure from Europe at this time is also good for Switzerland, which is preparing to pick up the leak, so he will not worry about anyone stopping him.

It's just that in order to arrange the Olympic team members in China and South China, he still needs to make more preparations.

Although everything else in London is almost recovering, the problem of food shortages is a global problem, and the UK cannot solve it.

The British Olympic Committee has previously called in the media that although the UK can provide first-class competition venues and first-class accommodation, it does not have an adequate food supply. So they want the countries that come to the Olympics to bring their own dry food.

This may be a joke in later generations, but in this era it is a matter of fact.

Food rationing is still in place in London, and even if some restaurants are open, the price of food is too high for the average person to accept.

There are thousands of athletes and team leaders coming to the Olympics, and London really doesn't have that much food.

For this Olympic Games, Zhou Nan sent back a plane that he had not yet taken once, specifically to pick up domestic athletes.

Nanhua has just been founded this year, and its sports foundation is weak, so it still found some soldiers with special skills from the army for training.

As for the country, 33 athletes were sent to participate in the competition, and the number of team leaders was less than 40.

Zhou Nan has already taken people to Nanhua, trained with the athletes of Nanhua, and will be brought to London together when the time comes.

The eating, drinking, and sleeping of these people must be arranged by Zhou Nan one by one.
