Major Eisenhower helped his wife back to her guest room to rest.

Our Master Yuan bowed to the mistress and said, "This beautiful lady is the mistress of this place, right?" Thank you, Mrs. Patton, for your hospitality. ”

"Yuan, Yuan, Mr. Yuan, it should be, it should be, it should be." Mrs. Beatrice Barton was a little out of her way.

This Chinese is not only handsome and talented, but also a god...... Well, the medium.

There are very few true atheists in the world these days, especially in quasi-religious countries like the United States. FDR, for example, has its own astrologer. Therefore, a master with supernatural abilities like Yuan Yanqian is definitely a high-profile look.

What's more, his exaggerated appetite and the pretentiousness just now made Mrs. Barton even more in awe.

Master Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, it is your host's obligation to invite me, a guest, to be full, so it is my guest's obligation to give your host a gift." ”

"Xiaokang, go and bring my gift." He turned his head and commanded.

After a while, Condo brought a chest made of delicate calfskin.

The surface of this leather case is painted, on one side is a Chinese dragon with teeth and claws, and on the other side is a phoenix singing loudly. The auspicious pattern of the dragon and phoenix is full of Seris, which is especially suitable for fooling...... Well, satisfy the aesthetic taste of foreigners.

"Mrs. Barton, this is my gift to you"

With a "click", Yuan Yanqian opened the spring buckle of the small suitcase, and it was naturally a beautiful ......

“Mahjong？！” The four eyes of the Pattons were all lit up, and they saw that the ivory-faced bamboo-backed mahjong tiles, along with the chips and dice, were elegantly shaped, well-made, and richly carved, and looked more like a real work of art than a gambling tool.

I only heard Mrs. Patton say in surprise: "Mr. Yuan, this is the mahjong that has recently swept New York and Washington, and even Mr. and Mrs. President are very fond of it, right?" ”

Therefore, if you want to promote entertainment activities, you still have to go from top to bottom. For example, a big guy in the future of Seris is a bridge enthusiast, so that Seris, who has no foundation in bridge, actually began to popularize bridge from elementary school for a period of time.

As the saying goes, there will be good people above, and there will be bad people below. Mencius's words still make a lot of sense.

Major Barton nodded and said, "Bi Cui and I have always wanted to learn, but unfortunately there are too few instructors in the Washington Mahjong Club, and we can't invite a mahjong teacher to come to us......"

"George, am I not here?" Master Yuan smiled and said, "Come on, guys. I'll teach you how to play mahjong! ”

"Mamie, are you awake?"

Mrs. Eisenhower smiled at her husband's concerned gaze and said, "Ike, I'm awake." ”

Major Eisenhower said stupidly, "Mamie, this is the first time I've seen you smile in months. ”

"Ike, this is the first time I've seen you in months." His wife reached out and stroked her husband's face.

"Mamie......

"Ike ......"

Then they kissed together......

In the original timeline, the death of their son caused a deep rift in the couple's relationship.

In 1944, in the original timeline, Eisenhower fell in love with a British female driver, Kay Summers. The incident was so loud at the time that British and American newspapers carried sensational headlines like "The Grand Affair".

At that time, he really planned to divorce Mamie in order to marry this Englishwoman.

Army Chief of Staff George Marshall had to write a scathing letter to Eisenhower in which he threatened to expel him from the military if he did not change his divorce plans. As a result, Eisenhower had no choice but to cut ties with Kay.

Whether it was to get those cards or not, Yuan Yanqian did a good deed, using shocking therapy similar to psychology to relieve the couple's demons.

"Boom la la ......"

Near dusk, Mr. and Mrs. Eisenhow, who had slept and mended up and bathed, had become energetic again, held hands intimately and came to the game room, and saw that the battle of Fangcheng inside was in full swing.

However, Yuan Yanqian and Major Patton were not among them, and in addition to Miss Moreman and Mrs. Patton, there was also a pair of new male and female guests.

The man in his forties was handsome and elegant, and he was also dressed in a crisp custom military uniform with two dazzling gold stars on his epaulettes. This person turned out to be a major general in the U.S. Army. (Author's note: First, the reason why Mao Laowai officers look so handsome is that their military uniforms are custom-made.) Second, the U.S. military also has a one-star brigadier general. ）

And the middle-aged woman was dressed very fashionably and gorgeously, and she looked like a rich lady.

In fact, these two are also old friends of Mr. and Mrs. Eisenhow.

Major Eisenhower said with some surprise: "Mrs. Connor, Major General Connor, you have also arrived?" ”

This "Forscon" major general was not famous in later generations. However, he is a very important figure in the history of the US Army.

If Pershing, the commander of the American forces in the European War, can be called the "father of the expeditionary force", then Fox Coner is the "midwife of the expeditionary force."

He was Pershing's most relied on and trusted assistant. Pershing once said that there was no staff officer in the headquarters who was more talented than him...... In the American Expeditionary Force, no one but him can be dispensed without.

In addition to his outstanding staff skills, Fox Connor is also charismatic.

During the expeditionary force's entry into the war in France, he gathered around him a group of young army officers, known as the "Sean Gang". At that time, the headquarters of the US military was in Chaumont, France, hence the nickname. Among them was the future Army Chief of Staff George Catrill Marshall.

George Patton was naturally also a member of the Chaumont Gang.

In 1916 he became a lieutenant adjutant to General Pershing (because of his sister's connection, of course), while Connor was a major on staff. Since then, the two of them have been friends.

In fact, the origins of these two are very similar. The Connor family is a wealthy landowner in Mississippi, while his wife, Virginia, is the daughter of a millionaire who deals in licensed drugs (Aphron).

One autumn afternoon while in Fort Meade, Barton introduced Eisenhower to Connor at his social party. It can be said that this meeting changed the fate of Eisenhower.

In his memoirs, he said, "Fox Connor is the most talented man I have ever met. Among the great and good people I have met in my life, he is ...... I am most grateful for the one I owe him immeasurable. ”

Indeed, as Eisenhower himself said, among the "three commanders of the empire" in World War II: he could not fight Douglas MacArthur, commander-in-chief of the Pacific theater; Fighting backstage, he can't fight Marshall, who is very appreciated by Pershing.

If it weren't for Fox Connor's appreciation and pull, Eisenhower would not have become the future commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in the European theater.

To say that Connor was his "nobleman" was apt, and not an exaggeration.
