Chapter 312: Seven Two Three Four

Subtitle of this chapter: Can't Churchill Water Without Water? Naive!

………………………………………………………

20:20 GMT.

Yuan Yanqian glanced at his Holland watch and confirmed the time.

In fact, there is not much time left for him, and if he does not have a few words with Churchill now, he will not have a chance in a while.

And if you don't have a chance after a while, you won't have a chance until World War II. Because he estimated that after this big business was done, it should be difficult for him to set foot in the British Isles again.

When we meet in the future, it will either be Churchill who runs to the United States to ask for help, or Yalta and Cairo...... I don't know if there will be such two meetings in this timeline that will determine the fate of the entire Blue Star in the future.

"Excuse me, borrow ......"

Our Master Yuan is now also a master of national art with "Kung Fu" on his body.

I saw that he had a wild horse on his left and a bird's tail on his right, "rubbing" through the crowd and came to the Churchills.

Before the two of them could react, Yuan Yanqian bowed and saluted......

He is now 175 centimeters tall, while Churchill is only 160 centimeters. It looks like he's saluting, but he's actually bending over and looking down at the other person condescendingly.

"The Lord Winston Churchill ......"

Note that "Your Excellency" here is not "Your Excellency" in general. It's a proper noun – The Right Honorable.

The Right Honorable is a unique designation for British cabinet ministers, followed by their titles and names.

"I'm YanShu Yuan. I am very sorry, Lord Churchill, because I want to know you, the Hero of the British Empire, so much so that I have taken the liberty of coming. ”

In such a formal social setting, to meet a big man like Churchill, it stands to reason that a stranger needs an introducer. It can indeed be regarded as rude for him to come forward to introduce himself with such a big grin.

But a faux pas is rude, and he slapped Churchill's ass so loudly that everyone around him couldn't help but turn their eyes in this direction.

Rao was Churchill's unwillingness to see the low-end of the British Empire...... Of course, in his opinion, the vast majority of American people think that Master Yuan is very black, very relieving, and beautiful high-end black.

It's just that in front of everyone, he still has to maintain his demeanor as a cabinet minister, so he craned his neck and said: "It turns out that you are Dr. Yuan, I have read your articles and ...... Oh, the writing is good, especially for Chinese like you. ”

Is our Master Yuan a narrow-minded person who can't listen to other people's sarcasm?

, of course he is.

However, this time he pretended not to hear the other party's sarcasm, and said very openly: "It turns out that His Excellency Churchill also knows my name, and this is really my honor." ”

"This is Mrs. Churchill, and it's my honor to meet a beautiful woman like you." Yuan Yanqian turned to say hello to Clementine Churchill, and then took someone's little hand and gave a kiss.

People also pursed their lips and smiled: "Dr. Yuan, I am also very happy to meet a writer like you. ”

In fact, this petite and delicate, good-looking, Chinese New Year's Eve six-year-old lady is not a fuel-efficient lamp. (Author's note: She was born in 1885 and died in 1977, a veritable old birthday star.) )

Churchill's mother-in-law was a very strange and strange woman, who, like the Virgin Mary, had done the great task of giving birth to her husband without needing it.

Unlike the Virgin Mary, she not only had a "heavenly lover", but she is said to have been in a relationship with a double-digit "underground lover" at the same time.

Her husband didn't mind at all, after all, this is a big corrupt country. True, Mrs. Churchill was actually an illegitimate daughter.

Therefore, although their family is also from the Scottish aristocracy, it is not accepted by the British upper class. And because there were always people who were jealous of Churchill's mother-in-law, they had to move often.

Because of Clementine's poor background, she was not like the average woman whom Winston Churchill had seen, who were only interested in clothes and balls, and nothing else.

Clementine enjoyed being involved in politics and was part of the political movement that pushed for women's right to vote. Of course, the so-called "campaign" they engaged in was to write letters to people from all walks of life in Britain.

Winston Churchill suddenly appeared in front of his eyes a beautiful woman who was interested in all kinds of things he said, and this beautiful woman also had her own ambitions, so they hit it off and had such a "successful" marriage.

Of course, this "successful" couple is not always successful. Before World War II, Clementine actually eloped with her bodyguards to the United States......

Our Master Yuan secretly said in his heart that it was a pity, but it was a pity that Lao Tzu had limited time, otherwise he would be able to wear a green hat to one of the "Big Four".

The Traveler's Wish List will tick off one item.

But it doesn't matter, because one of the wives of the Big Four, he still has a chance.

Then he introduced Lin Huiyin to the two: "Let me introduce you, this is the daughter of my country's former justice general, Miss Lin." ”

Although Lin Changmin, the chief justice officer, only worked for less than four months (July-November 1917), after all, this is the head of a country's Ministry of Justice, and it is still a bit of face to say it.

"Lord Churchill, the thing I admire most about you is the Dardanelles Campaign......"

As soon as he heard the words "Battle of Dardanelle", Churchill's face darkened.

Also known as the Battle of Gallipoli, the Allies were to force their way into the Dardanelles, open the Bosphorus, and then capture Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

This was the largest landing battle in World War I, and it was also promoted and planned by Churchill, who was the Secretary of the Navy at the time. However, the Entente was defeated in the end, and half of the 500,000 landing soldiers were killed and wounded, and finally had to go back to their hometowns in disgrace.

Churchill also had to resign from the post of Secretary of the Admiralty, which can be said to be a major black spot in his life.

By the way, this also fulfilled Kemal, known as the "great savior of Istanbul".

"Don't get me wrong, Lord Churchill, I'm not laughing at you......"

Yuan Yanqian generously stated: "I know that the real purpose of the Battle of Dardanelles is to open up the sea lines of communication to Tsarist Russia, assuming that Tsarist Russia can receive a large and timely aid, not only to hold back the German army on the Eastern Front, but also to the October Revolution...... There is a good chance that the riot will not happen. ”

Hearing this, Churchill's face suddenly looked a little better.

Our Master Yuan smacked his lips and said, "I think this is a correct, bold and far-sighted plan. But it was ruined by an unprecedented mistake in British history in the course of execution. ”

These two sentences are from the "Military History of the West" written by Charles Fuller, a British military officer who was also one of the pioneers of tank warfare.

"So Lord Churchill, it's not your fault!"

At this moment, Churchill's expression was even more kind, and he even nodded slightly.

And Yuan Yanxiao's voice raised a little more, attracting more people's attention, and then everyone heard this Chinese say the final summary.

"Speaking of which, you people of the British Empire can't do it!"

The carriages and horses in front of the Japanese legation have been sparsely dispersed, after all, it has been twenty minutes now, and almost all the people who should have come have come.

At this time, a few guests, who were probably late, or possibly passers-by, appeared in the eyes of the Japanese security guards and the British police in front of the door......
