…………………………………………………

Huang Zongyi insisted on writing diaries for half a century, and he continued to write diaries for more than 50 years until his death, and these diaries are of great research value.

His life is full of legends and controversies, and his diary gathers and dissects the details, truths, and major historical questions of many political, economic, and military events in Southeast Asia and around the world. ”

——Excerpt from "SCP Encyclopedia Entry: Huang Zongyi's Diary"

"I'll start journaling today!"

"Very Good, it's really a teachable ......"

At this moment, I heard Luo Puxiang ask, "Old Yuan, how is it?" ”

As soon as our Master Yuan turned his head, he saw the three heroes of the Ma Tan who were smiling so badly, and immediately understood how "how".

It's 10 p.m., the end of the day for some, and the real start of the day for others.

Lu Yan said: "Old Yuan, is it an eight lap, or a ......?"

"It's better to go to Pyramid to see Aunt Ala'a's Mumi." Xiao Yang Shengfang warmly invited Huang Zongyi, "Huang Gongzi also wants to go together!" ”

I only heard Master Yuan cough and said: "Xiao Yang, first, the carriage and horses are tired, it should be tired." Second, I have something to do tomorrow and have to get up early, so I can't accompany me tonight. Third ......"

"Brother, I wanted to tell you last time, Aunt Mu Mu is not Ala's uncle!"

When the three heroes of Matan heard this, they had no choice but to leave in a huff.

Before sending them to the car, Yuan Yanqian instructed again: "Three brothers, something will happen in two days, but you must be calm and not impatient, and don't help me notify the family, remember, remember." ”

"Old Yuan, what the hell is going on?"

President Yuan Da's handsome face showed a mysterious smile and said, "When the time comes, won't you know?" ”

When they had sent all the guests away, they turned around and walked into the house. Only then did Huang Zongyi remember the purpose of his trip, and said, "Uncle, I came here by my father's order......

Master Yuan suddenly interrupted: "Teach it, do you know how to play golf?" ”

Huang Gongzi subconsciously replied, "Yes." ”

Yuan Yanqian nodded happily and said, "That's good, you can rest early after writing your diary." Tomorrow my uncle will take you to play golf......"

"Neo, it's been a few months and your golf hasn't improved at all. But this Mr. Huang played well. ”

"Mr. Baker, you know I've been so busy lately, how can I have time to practice golf......"

Tuesday, April 26, 1921.

They went back to the same country club they had visited on November 21 last year, and together with Mr. Baker Jr., they played a friendly match of two with Mr. Baker Sr.

This kind of competition is a group of two people, one person has one hole and one hole, and finally the total score of the two groups is used to determine the winner or loser. Of course, it doesn't matter if they win or lose this game, it's the chat.

Mr. Baker and Neo Yuan, who didn't have their turn for the time being, were on their side.

The "Wall Street Miracle" said to him with a little dissatisfaction: "Neo, why did Doketoven suddenly go to Europe?" ”

Wen Caihua, an old thief, went to Europe for the sake of your American and Republican Party, not to let President Warren Harding continue his life, and by the way, let the future Roosevelt suffer more.

Yuan Yanqian snorted and said: "Master, it's always so easy to whim." I can't control him. ”

"Well......" Mr. Baker said with a sigh, "although I really didn't believe in your Chinese medicine before, but Dao Ke Tuowen is still very level. After following his recipe and doctor's advice, I did feel a lot lighter......"

Well, in fact, Daketowen's medical level is like that, and his medical skills are mainly above gynecology.

However, he doesn't understand nutrition, and our Master Yuan does. Speaking of which, Master Yuan is probably one of the best nutritionists in the world today. The recipe used in the "Wall Street Miracle" is now made by him.

These days, there is no meat and vegetable combination, no organic vegetables. The richer the person, the more greasy they eat, and basically the meals are big fish and meat.

In addition, the United States is a country of choice where all kinds of food are very cheap, especially sugar and fat, which also gives them a very "unique" way of cooking. For example, they make pastries with half flour and half sugar, and those who are not used to it will definitely be killed.

The reason why cardiovascular disease is not the number one killer of Americans is because antibiotics have not yet appeared, and many people burp before the signs of heart disease appear.

In fact, the people of the entire Western world have begun to suffer from all kinds of diseases of wealth and nobility because of the industrial revolution and the gifts of various colonies.

Later, during World War II, there was a very ironic and ironic thing.

During the war, Britain was forced to implement a strict rationing system for basic civilian goods due to the tight blockade of shipping by German submarines. An entire generation of British children born between 1940 and 1945 had not seen a banana before 1946.

Beginning in 1940, the British government had to start rationing. However, food rationing by nutrition experts allowed ordinary people in Britain to eat more "scientifically" than before and after the war, and they actually became healthier.

Mr. Baker Sr. eats very "light" now, of course, according to the standards of rich Americans, coupled with various Seris health regimens, and a little psychological effect, he really feels that his body is better than before, and he can live at least another ten years......

And Master Yuan can pat his chest and pack the ticket, and his old man will definitely live for another twelve years.

Mr. Baker Sr. admonished, "Anyay, if you can contact him, let him go back to New York sooner, I have a few old fellows who want to see him." ”

Yuan Yanqian immediately gave him a "peace of mind pill" and said, "Mr. Baker, don't worry. Even if I don't contact him, he'll be back soon. ”

"Wall Street Miracle" finished talking about what he was most concerned about, and glanced at Huang Gongzi not far away with a smile, turned his head and lowered his voice: "Neo, 100,000 US dollars?" You're so generous. ”

"Hahaha......"

Master Yuan laughed dryly and thought to himself, this old guy is really well-informed! However, the current Minister of Justice, Mr. Doherty, has a poor sense of secrecy. No wonder the boat capsized later because of the Teapot Mountain scandal.

He didn't deny it at all, just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mr. Baker, you should know that this money is not from me......"

Yuan Yanqian nodded at her nephew's back and said, "Anyway, my brother-in-law...... Well, the ex-brother-in-law's family is so poor that there is only money left. ”

"Hahaha......" Old Mr. Baker's turn laughed out loud this time, "Neo, I am not mistaken, you are indeed a young man who listens to the blows. So poor that all that left was money...... That's a wonderful statement. ”

Master Yuan rolled his eyes in his heart, your old man is almost the same.

"But after all, it's a hundred thousand dollars, do you think Mr. Doherty can help?" Old Mr. Baker was purely interested in satisfying his curiosity, so he continued to ask.

For the "Wall Street Miracle", a big capitalist, Yuan Yanqian not only has appreciation and gratitude, but also never dares to underestimate the IQ of this old fox.

He said very frankly: "How can a drowning person notice that he is holding a driftwood or a bundle of straw? ”

When Mr. Baker Sr. heard this, he shook his head and said, "So you let Mr. Doherty earn the 100,000 dollars for nothing, and you yourself will not do any good?" Neo, this doesn't look like your style. ”

"Of course it's not that simple......"

Even if the $100,000 was paid in full to Mr. Doherty, he would only need to get President Harding to make a painless statement. Introduce a few harmless bills in Congress.

But if his ex-brother-in-law Huang Zhonghan is willing to continue to throw money, then it will be really big news next, Yuan Yanqian will copy the ...... "Maine" once!

On January 24, 1898, an American cruiser anchored in the port of Havana, the capital of Cuba. The warship, named the Maine, arrived in the Spanish colony under the pretext of protecting its interests in Cuba and the safety of its expatriates.

On the night of February 15 of the same year, the Maine exploded and sank on the dock, and the cause of the accident is still unknown...... Well, it's always ugly for the United States to do this kind of thing, and later Powell took out a tube of laundry detergent in the Security Council, claiming that it was a stupid weapon of mass destruction.

The means are indeed a little rougher, but the effect is still a trickle.

The bombing of the USS Maine quickly caused a sensation throughout the United States, with major newspapers headlining the event. For a time, the streets and alleys of the United States were talking about this matter, but what people talked about the most was who blew up the "Maine".

"Could it be the Spaniards?"

"Could it be Cuban?"

Soon after, the relevant US authorities announced the results of their investigation, claiming that the Spanish had sunk the warship with a mine, and that they simply and without hesitation put the blame on the Spanish Government.

As soon as this news spread, the United States boiled. Some expansionists seized the opportunity to hold rallies everywhere, publish newspaper articles, and fanatically carry out war propaganda:

"Avenge the victims of the Maine!"

"The blood of Americans will not be shed in vain! We're going to fight the Spaniards to the death!"

"Those who commit strong beauty will be punished even if they are far away!"

Let's be honest. When a certain big country in the East can be so disregardful of eating, then it is called "I am relieved to see the motherland so rogues." "Well.

Anyay, the "Maine Incident" was the trigger for the Spanish-American War.

With this kind of routine, won't Yuan Yanqian learn it?

He could have started by letting the United States and the Netherlands have some kind of messy friction, such as a fight between the two people in a bar over a certain dancer.

Then the media was used to publicize a wave of propaganda and stir up people's feelings.

Then they have to spend money to buy off the US Navy Department and let them shoot a warship to go to the waters near the Dutch-Indian colony, and in the end it will naturally be a "BOOOOOOM".

That's all right.

According to his estimates, this course of treatment ...... That process is only five or six million, and it won't exceed ten million dollars at most, which is really cheap.

Those who say that our Master Yuan is delusional must be a lack of imagination and a lack of historical knowledge, and the war is easy to cause in these years.

If Yuan Yanqian and Huang Zhonghan are in a different position, and they are sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars without a broken system, then there will definitely be a "new Maine". However, he concluded that his ex-brother-in-law did not have that much courage.

What a pity!

"Mr. Baker, I'm hoping ......"

At this moment, Mr. Little Baker and Huang Gongzi finished the shot, turned around to say hello to them, and interrupted the meeting.

As in the last round of golf, they had played nine holes and went back to their rooms to change into their evening gowns and go to the dining room for dinner.

"Wall Street Miracle" took the lead in raising his glass and said with a smile: "Neo, I heard that you are going back to Asia to get married soon, I really want to congratulate you." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Baker."

After everyone had raised their glasses in celebration, Old Mr. Baker gestured to his grandson and said, "Neo, I have a thing for your wife, and let it be my wedding gift." ”

So saying, Mr. Little Baker pulled out a velvet box.

Master Yuan took it and opened it, and inside was a well-made ruby necklace, the largest gem on it was the size of a small pea, and it was really dazzling and luxurious under the light of the lights.

I only heard the "Wall Street Miracle" laugh and groan: "I know that you Chinese like red, so I chose such a necklace." ”

Yuan Yanqian said with a familiar expression: "Mr. Baker, I express my gratitude on behalf of my wife. ”

But Huang Gongzi's expression beside him was a little uncalm, and his heart was even more like turning over the river and the sea.

It's not that this ruby necklace is worth much, it's really nothing to a disciple of the Huang family like him, and Indonesia and nearby India are also gemstone producing areas.

The reason for his surprise was naturally because his uncle was really hand-eyed.

This Uncle Yuan is obviously from an "ordinary" family and is still a yellow race, but he can be proud of the rich and proud of the secretary of state in a foreign country with a very strong anti-Chinese atmosphere in the United States, which is really a very extraordinary thing!

In fact, when it comes to Chinese exclusion, American society in the 1920s did look down on yellow people very much, so it is no wonder that some people think that Chinese people like Master Yuan, who can mix in American high society, are just family words.

But how do they explain the study experience of Chinese students such as Hu Shizhi, Harvard Sanjie, and Ma Liu Fanghe?

Again, a posed nationalist is rarely a visceral ultra-nationalist, and a non-posed nationalist is often a pure ultra-nationalist.

The more upper-class you are, the less likely you are to judge people by the color of their skin.

Our Master Yuan was really calm in his heart, because he knew that this wedding gift was not for nothing.

Mr. Baker gave himself a ruby necklace, so Mr. Baker Jr. can be a man who will take over after smashing the plate when he returns to China with him this time!
