Subtitle of this chapter: Headache is too lazy to think

"Mrs. Gu, please allow me to introduce you, this is ......"

Huang Huilan looked at the young man in the evening dress in front of her and couldn't help but get slightly wet...... Well, lost...... Well, distraction. The reason is naturally because this stinky man who openly supports the junior is so handsome.

The 2,000 daughter of the richest man in Nanyang has not seen a good-looking man, nor has he never seen a gentleman with outstanding temperament. But this Yuan Hongji's appearance and temperament perfectly fused into an overwhelming rich handsomeness, which made the newlywed young woman's face hot and her feet soft, and also made her young woman's heart jump happily.

The doubts in her heart were finally answered, no wonder the twelve sisters of the Tang family cried and shouted to marry him. Mrs. Gu couldn't help but glance sympathetically at the second son of Wu not far away, and found that this benevolent brother's face was also very ugly, probably surprised by the handsomeness of her rival.

But she immediately had another puzzle, why did such a handsome man go to Ji Yuan to raise a mistress? Should I ...... Well, my aunt is right to raise him!

According to this, Yuan Hongjian only has two women around him, doesn't that mean that he is actually not a womanizer, but a good man who is clean and self-conscious? Such a good man who values love and righteousness even if I ...... Well, my aunt is also willing to be a junior.

Well, no matter which parallel world it is, it's all a world of looking at faces!

In fact, our Master Yuan's charm value today is not yet full firepower, and it is only 16 points. After this period of unremitting exploration, he finally found that 16 charm points in daily life is almost the limit, and no matter how high it is, there will be some situations that he can't control.

For example, Miss Lillian-Gish and Miss Ainyuka have the kind of expressions that want to eat him every time they see him above 16 charisma, and they look really crazy.

"Hello, Mr. Yuan."

After all, the minister's wife is the daughter of a wealthy family who has seen a big scene, and she suppressed the throbbing in her heart and took the initiative to stretch out her jade hand. However, Yuan Yanqian was stunned when she saw this, this hand was raised a little too high......

Oh, Lao Tzu understands, the high-class Chinese have to come to this!

He hurriedly stepped forward, gently held up the little hand, bent his waist down, and leaned his head forward, and came to a very standard and elegant kiss hand salute.

THEN YUAN YANQIAN DIDN'T KNOW WHICH TENDON IN HIS BRAIN WAS WRONG, PROBABLY BECAUSE HE WAS HELD BY THE JEWELS OF OTHERS. He was so happy that he came to the French: "Beautiful minister, it is my honor to meet you." ”

"Beautiful Minister's Wife" eyes lit up, and she asked very openly in French: "Mr. Yuan, you can also speak French?" Also right...... You don't know French, and you don't set the story of "Chocolate" in France. ”

In fact, our Master Yuan's French level was limited to saying hello, so he immediately turned into English and asked, "Mrs. Gu, have you also seen my "Chocolate Love"? ”

"Of course, Mr. Yuan, I have read your masterpiece several times, and it is really well written."

"Gu ...... Well, Ms. Huang is really over-awarded, in fact, I just ......"

"Ahem! Cough! Cough! ”

Hearing Luo Jiaxiang's heavy "coughing sound" beside her, Huang Huilan and Yuan Yanqian realized that this occasion didn't seem to be suitable for chatting about the day.

It was about seven o'clock in the evening on December 18, and they were in the lobby of the Consulate General of the Republic of China in New York. There weren't many people attending this reception dinner, except for a few of their guests, who were also insiders of the consulate.

Yuan Yanqian raised his fist and put it in front of his mouth, coughed lightly, and said with a straight expression: "Huang ...... Well, Mrs. Gu, it's a pleasure to meet you. If you are interested in literature, welcome to my literary ...... Well, literary salons. ”

Huang Huilan also replied solemnly: "Mr. Yuan, thank you for the invitation. If I have time, I will definitely visit ......."

She finally remembered the matter and said, "I have a 'friend' who also likes Mr. Yuan's. I would venture to ask, can I bring her to your salon with me? ”

This matchmaker has already made up her mind to let her little aunt marry this handsome guy...... Well, great writers. If she doesn't marry, then ...... herself Well, persuade again.

Master Yuan naturally understood who this 'friend' was, so he happily replied: "To Mrs. Gu and your 'friend', I am very welcome......

"Mrs. Gu, Secretary Luo and Mr. Yuan, I'm sorry, excuse me."

Just then, a young man interjected and said hello in Cantonese Chinese.

Luo Jiaxiang and Huang Huilan's expressions immediately became a little unnatural, but Secretary Luo still opened his mouth and introduced: "Hong Yan, this is the second son of Duke Zhiyong. ”

Therefore, the people of Seris in this era are not good at talking, if Master Yuan hadn't expected it, how would he know that Zhiyong is Wu Tingfang's number, but everyone else is so taken for granted.

Now he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Oh, it turned out to be the second son of Wu, fortunately." ”

This second son of Wu, who is still clear-eyed, said politely: "Mr. Yuan is polite, and the contemptible cursive words hold Xia." I don't know if you can borrow a step to speak, sir? ”

Really, what do I have to say to you? Your character who takes the initiative to send women will definitely be sprayed by readers as a dog after a hundred years, and people love to look at what they collect at home, how can they love to look at it and push it out.

No, I can't have more contact with this kind of person, it will lower my ...... Well, forced.

"What ...... this?"

He was perfunctory in his mouth, and secretly kicked Uncle Luo Shi on his foot, and the latter immediately understood: "Second son, there are two other VIPs waiting to see Hongji, I think you might as well talk another day, right?" ”

Yuan Yan slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "Oh, Uncle Luo Shi almost forgot about it if he didn't mention it." How can we Seris be rude to friendly people? Second son, brother, I will go first, forgive my sins. ”

With that, he pulled Luo Jiaxiang and ran away.

The two of them did sing duets, but they weren't lying. There are indeed two foreigners sitting in a side hall next to it, one old and one young.

The old one is already in his early fifties, with short gray hair, a round head and a short neck, a strong figure, and a calm temperament. At first glance, it is from a military background; The few were only in their early twenties, and their faces were extremely handsome, very Aryan.

When they saw two Seris enter, they also stood up.

Luo Jiaxiang, the first secretary, once again became the introducer.

"GERMAN DIGNITARIES, THIS IS MR. YANSHU-YUAN."

"This is the Earl of Scharnhorst, who has come from Holland to honour you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Yuan. When His Majesty saw your article, he said, "I don't think there is a confidant among the Seris. And he admires your talent very much and hopes to have the opportunity to communicate with you face-to-face. ”

"Your Excellency, thank you for your country...... Well, the emperor's affection is terrifying......"

By the way, this Scharnhorst's surname is not a good sign.

The most famous figure in this family was Count Gerhard Johan David von Scharnhorst, the founder of the Prussian General Staff. In 1802, when he was the principal of the Berlin Military School, he set up a "military association" in Berlin and brought in a group of open-minded officers, including Clausewitz, the future famous authority on Western military thought and the author of "On War". This is also the prototype of the General Staff.

As for why Master Yuan felt that the omen was not good, it was because the German Navy had named warships after Scharnhorst several times, and the fate of these warships was not good.

The Scharnhorst was a cutting-edge armored cruiser launched in 1907 as the flagship of the naval guerrilla fleet commanded by Maximilian von Spee, which was later sunk by the British battlecruiser Study in the Battle of the Falkland Islands. Spee, his two sons, and more than 2,000 German sailors were buried with the ship.

One of the battlecruisers of the Third Reich's Atlantic Fleet, named the Scharnhorst, sank the British aircraft carrier Glory, but eventually sank the Battle of North Cape.

In any case, the Count of Scharnhorst was an important figure in Prussian military history, and it seems fitting that his descendants should serve as military attaché to Wilhelm II. Later, in his war memoirs, Heinz Wilhelm Guderian referred to the German General Staff as a "direct descendant" of Scharnhorst and Gneizenau.

"Mr. Yuan, please allow me to introduce me, this is my adjutant, Mr. Stauffenberg."

"Hello, Mr. Yuan."

"Hello, Mr. Stauffenberg." Hearing this surname, Yuan Yanqian couldn't help but ask, "I'm sorry, I take the liberty of asking, where are you from?" ”

Of course, the handsome young German did not understand why he asked this, but he replied honestly: "Mr. Yuan, I was born in the small town of Yettingen near Stuttgart. ”

"Oh, so is your mother a descendant of Marshal Gneizenau?"

The other party was a little surprised and said, "That's right, Mr. Yuan." ”

"So how old are you...... Well, do you still have a younger brother? ”

"I do have two younger brothers." Mr. Stauffenberg was very surprised and asked, "Mr. Yuan, how do you know?!" ”

"What ...... this?"

Well, that's right. This guy is supposed to be the eldest brother of the one-eyed colonel Klaus von Stauffenberg, who later assassinated Hitler. And their mother is a descendant of Auguste Wilhelm Anton Knighthart von Gneizenau, one of the "two fathers of the General Staff" just mentioned. (Author's note: It's better to write German, the names are all in a long list.) ）

Yuan Yanqian casually made it up: "Mr. Stauffenberg, I am very interested in the history of your country's army construction, and I have asked my German friends to collect a lot of historical materials for me. That's why I've heard a friend mention your family, so I have a little impression. ”

The family was a typical Junker military aristocracy, with parents who came from a family of high-ranking officers, and their men later joined the Wehrmacht. In that case, it's not a good sign.

After the four of them sat down, the Kaiser's attendant said slowly: "Mr. Yuan, you should also know our intentions, right?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Scharnhorst."

The old man nodded and said, "In addition to the knighthood, His Majesty will also grant you an annuity of 100,000 marks per year......

"Excuse me to interrupt, is this 100,000 marks a gold mark or a paper mark?"

Mr. Stauffenberg next to him immediately said: "Mr. Yuan, of course it is...... Paper Mark smacked. ”

Yuan Yan said in his heart that he was really a poor ghost, and he was so stingy even to give an annuity. What a hundred thousand marks, it's only two hundred and fifty dollars.

The Treaty of Versailles, signed by the countries participating in the war in January this year, stipulated that Germany would pay 4.9 billion pounds sterling, or 33 billion US dollars, or 132 billion marks, which means that at this time, one dollar could be exchanged for 40 marks. After that, Mark began to depreciate wildly, and at the end of 1920, one dollar was equivalent to more than 400 marks. This was just the beginning, and in another year, at the beginning of 1922, a dollar could be exchanged for more than 4,000, and by November 1923, the mark had depreciated to 420,000,000,000 marks (420 billion) for 1 dollar. At that time, a loaf of bread cost a trillion marks.

Well, in later generations, the only thing that can compare with the depreciation speed of paper marks is the gold yuan coupon. Wearing Lin Bei's legs has done a great deed that no Seris people have done since the Song Dynasty, that is, to eliminate counterfeit banknotes.

Luo Jiaxiang, a diplomat, finally couldn't help it, and he opened his mouth to suggest: "

"No!"

"No!"

"No!"

The three people in the hall said no in unison. The two Germans felt that this was Wilhelm II's nonsense, and naturally they were reluctant to make it public. And our Master Yuan doesn't want others to know that he has become a Junker.

If he had to be Aryan in a white skin, then the title of Junker knight would still be useful. It is appropriate to become a senior member of the Wehrmacht or the Third Reich with the foreknowledge of the traveler.

Now that he is a yellow person, can he really get involved with the Nazis, these ultra-racists with wrong views, in the future?

A hundred years later, there are many Nazi organizations with local characteristics in the world, not counting the old European countries, as well as Eastern European countries, and even yellow Nazis such as Mongolia and Seris. The problem is that the neo-Nazis in the latter countries seem to be completely unaware that they are all inferior in the eyes of the genuine Nazis, and even if they are not made into soap, they are not qualified to be on an equal footing with the real Aryans.

Yuan Yanqian is a bit of a stick tendency, but he is not Huang Na, and he still understands this in his heart. If you really want to influence the decisions of the mustache and the Third Reich, and then change the course of history, you have to use a white glove like Mr. Chandler Jr. He, the yellow neoclassical liberal master, certainly can't come forward.

"Gentlemen, we Seris people have a saying, it's better to choose a day than to hit a day. Let's do it here! ”

I still have a headache to death, and I must have drunk fake wine last night. I'm sorry, but my manuscripts are all paragraphs that need to be spliced together, so let's make do with this chapter.
