Chapter 63: Duel!

Subtitle of this chapter: Thank you patients for reminding me that it was a clerical mistake for me to write Washington, D.C., as Washington State, and Murong still knows the difference between the two. But thank you.

"What? What did that Chinese say? ”

"He said he would accept the duel!"

"How is that possible? What is he going to do? ”

Speaking of duels, this is not as simple as Yuan Yanqian and Harold Alexander going out and taking off their coats now.

The first thing Yuan Yanqian had to do was to ask a question: "Lieutenant Colonel Alexander, where is your handkerchief?" ”

Mr. Lieutenant Colonel sneered, took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket and threw it in the direction of Master Yuan. Yuan Yan Shi Ran stepped forward and bent down to pick up the handkerchief......

"Wait a minute."

"Slowly."

Shi Zhaoji and Gu Weijun, the two ministers, couldn't sit still, and hurriedly rushed to Master Yuan's side to stop him.

Minister Gu grabbed Yuan Yanqian and scolded sternly: "Hong Yan, don't mess around!" You are disgraced to our country by doing this! ”

Yuan Yan blinked his eyes and pointed at the crowd around him, and replied confidently: "Brother Shaochuan, look around, if the younger brother doesn't accept the challenge, will it be a shame for our country?" ”

"This ......" Gu Weijun looked at the audience around him, stomped his feet and said, "Anyway, if you don't allow it, you don't allow it!" You know, whether you win or lose, it's a diplomatic affair! ”

It's not our Master Yuan's slander, China's diplomacy has gone crooked from the root, and these people still have to be embarrassed when they become diplomats, and they still have something to worry about diplomatic incidents.

Later, what did the military do, diplomacy is no trivial matter. There's nothing wrong with that, but on the other hand, diplomacy isn't a big deal. Moreover, the countries of the world in 1921 were not feudal dynasties in which the rulers "rejuvenated the division in one anger", so what was it to offend a few diplomats?

Not to mention offended, even if he really killed Lieutenant Colonel Alexander in a formal duel, what could the British do? Now is not the year of Gengzi, Yuan Yanqian is not the Queen Mother of the West, and the British are not the empire on which the sun never sets at that time.

He is an old man, and he wants to use the rules of foreigners to defeat foreigners in a dignified manner!

Our Master Yuan took away the other party's hand very firmly, rolled his eyes and pouted, "Minister Gu, the junior brother is neither a person from your diplomatic system, nor are you my elder, so ......"

"What qualifications does your brother have to care about me?!"

"This ......" Poor Minister Gu really had nothing to say. Because just like Yuan Yanqian said, he is really not qualified to take care of Yuan Yanqi.

At this time, he really got to know this junior and elder, and it turned out that he still didn't see the true face of this person when they met the first two times. This Xiao Yuan is not only talented, but also has a madness comparable to talent.

Now Gu Weijun understands, the rumors are right, Yuan Yanqian is a madman!

Minister Shi Zhaoji has been in the diplomatic circles of London for the past few years, so he is familiar with these British diplomats.

He didn't pay attention to Yuan Yanqian, but walked up to the British diplomats and said, "Sir Hall, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander, this is just a misunderstanding, why take it so seriously?" ”

It's a pity that the Britons all smiled coldly, and only listened to Sir Hall say slowly: "Shi, this matter was not provoked by us." ”

Mr. Lieutenant Colonel also said proudly: "Mr. Minister, I just want an apology." ”

"Yes, yes, this matter is our fault, why don't I apologize for Mr. Yuan first, and then ask him to apologize to you on the spot."

As he spoke, he was about to bow and apologize......

"Shi Zhizhi, straighten your waist for Lao Tzu!"

At this moment, a loud cheer rang out in the venue.

When he looked back, he saw Yuan Yanqian holding a white handkerchief in his hand, and walked over with great momentum. But Gu Weijun was stunned and didn't stop him.

"Gradual ......"

"Minister Shi, get out of the way, I'll tell them."

Now Shi Zhaoji is not polite, and said sharply: "Yuan Yanqi, what good is it for you to make such a big deal?!" ”

Our Master Yuan sneered, and said locally: "Minister Shi, Lao Tzu is cool, that is the biggest benefit!" ”

He very rudely pushed away the minister to the United States, came to Harold Alexander, raised his hand and said: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I accept your challenge!" ”

The latter gave a mocking smile and raised his hand to high-five him.

"Smack!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The crowd began to applaud.

At this time, even President Harding and his senior cabinet officials heard the news and came over one after another to see the excitement.

Of course, the more people there are, the more energetic Yuan Yanqian becomes.

He suddenly turned around, pointed at Nomura Kichizaburo and said, "Mr. Nomura, don't you know that I have the honor to invite you to be the host of this duel?" ”

"Arnold...... Nomura Kichizaburo scolded this Chinese in his heart, your dispute with the British inexplicably dragged me, a Japanese, into the water, why aa!!

But in front of everyone, he couldn't refuse, so he had to smile bitterly, look at Mr. Lieutenant Colonel and say, "If Lieutenant Colonel Alexander doesn't object, it's my honor." ”

The British lieutenant colonel shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't care. ”

Nomura Osa subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay, I'll be the host of this duel." ”

"Mr. Nomura, thank you." Yuan Yanqian pointed at Cao Linsheng again and said, "Brother Qingzhi, would you like to be my dueling assistant?" ”

"I ......," Major Cao was also stunned.

Minister Gu Weijun's reaction was a little faster than that of his subordinates, and he immediately shook his head at him and said, "Major Cao, don't mess around with him!" ”

That's right, he can't control Yuan Yanqi, but he can control Cao Linsheng.

It's a pity that he forgot what kind of person Cao Linsheng was at this time.

In the original timeline, one of the eight captains of West Point also went to the Paris Peace Conference, where he was greatly stimulated, and after returning to the United States, both publicly and privately, he vigorously criticized the performance of the Great Powers at the Peace Conference, believing that they were all imperialists with wolf ambitions against China.

That's why he "voluntarily resigned" at the end of this year and returned to China to Tsinghua University as the head of the Department of Physical Education. (Author's note: This is the case historically.) )

Major Cao looked at the angry face of his boss, and then at the encouraging eyes of his friend who had just met, and made up his mind in a short time.

He ignored the looks of the two ministers, stepped forward, nodded firmly, and said, "Brother Hongji, thanks to the elder brother, the younger brother is willing to be your assistant!" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Alexander also appointed a major at this time as a dueling assistant.

Thereupon...... This duel is all there is to it!

President Warren Harding, who was in the crowd, finally came to his senses, he looked at the high-ranking officials around him, and laughed: "It turns out that the British and Chinese are not joking, they really want to ......"

"Duel!"

Hell, someone in the book review area compared this broken book with the good book of Lao Wang next door. What do you say, and some people ask him what status he is, and what status I have.

Lao Tzu only said one sentence, the incomprehensible sand is thicker than rolling, thank you.
