Chapter Eighty-Seven: Action (First Update)
At Leverkusen's Dinn Lake Villa, the relaxed atmosphere at dinner was gone, and everyone sat gloomily in the living room, not even bothering to clean up the broken dishes.
Jonas had lived in the family since he was two years old, and at that time, there were no children like Vera and the others, and Caroline, who had just been married, raised Jonas as if he were her own child.
After more than 20 years of relationship, she has long treated this child as her own child. When I heard that he was shot, I kept wiping my tears in distress.
Yannick was even more scared, and only relieved when he knew that his life was not in danger.
He kept on the phone, trying to get permission from the British, and the family traveled to Switzerland to visit Jonas.
The results are still relatively satisfactory, and Jonas is becoming more and more famous internationally and has been valued by countries around the world.
Yannick, as his adoptive father, was also particularly valued by the British.
In particular, Yannick had also received a loan of more than 5 million Swiss francs from him, and was now investing heavily in British-controlled areas, so that the British would not fear that their family would get out of control.
"I'll go to Cologne early tomorrow morning to go through the formalities, and General Galely will issue us a special pass. Caroline, don't cry, go get the pictures of the children ready, you need it when you go through the formalities. ”
Vera and the others went looking for their pictures, and Fleischer smiled and said, "Mr. Hoffman, Manfred has always been a newcomer to our newspaper. He has such a relationship with Jonas that I wanted to send Manfred to Jonas's side and interview Jonas specifically. ”
At this time, it is much better to go to Switzerland than to stay in Germany. But when he thinks of Manfred's other identity, he doesn't feel very optimistic. "If Manfred can go to Switzerland, I will naturally support it, but if he wants to go abroad, can he get approval?"
As Rommel's only son, Manfred was subject to some personal restrictions, and neither the British nor the French would easily give up this bargaining chip that could control Rommel.
"Perhaps, we can take advantage of this family visit to stay in Switzerland for a long time......" he said, meaning that he wanted to stay there illegally.
Yannick turned his head to look at Manfred and asked, "Do you think so too?" ”
Manfred, who was only eighteen years old, was a little embarrassed and said, "I want to go out and see the outside world......
Yannick asked directly, "Do you want to disgrace your father?" ”
The smile on Manfred's face vanished, and he shook his head and said, "No, Dad, I don't want to. ”
Yannick's face turned slightly pale, and he said in a relaxed tone: "Your father is a great general, whether on the battlefield or in life, he is your role model. We don't expect you to reach his level in your career, but we want you to be an upright, calm and responsible person. Life in Germany is very hard, but we are not the most miserable, think about those civilians, we are like living in heaven, what is not satisfied? The more we are at this time, the more we must not leave our homeland and dedicate ourselves to this country. ”
"Yes, Dad."
Yannick then turned to Fleischer and said, "Mr. Fleischer, I know you want to get more news about Jonas through Manfred's connections. But your media are now under the control of the British, and you can only get information from abroad through the British, and I don't want you to let Manfred touch this bottom line. Because in him, there are more complex social relations, which will affect the situation of our family, including Monsieur Rommel, with the French. After going to Switzerland this time, if we can all come back according to the arrangement of the British, maybe the British will be able to open a foreign line for our family, so that it will be more convenient to get any news in the future. ”
Fleischer didn't think too much about it, just stood in the position of the newspaper and wanted to get more information, but after listening to Yannick's words, he thought that there was a Rommel behind Manfred, which involved international relations between the three countries, and his cold sweat flowed out.
"I beg your pardon, Mr. Hoffman, for being ill-conceived." He wiped the sweat from his head, smiled and said, "It's not too early, and I won't disturb your rest." ”
Manfred stood up with him, and he hurriedly said, "Manfred, you can rest here for the night and go back to work tomorrow." ”
Yannick also stood up and said, "Manfred, I'm going to Cologne tomorrow too, and I'll take you to work." ”
Manfred glanced at Claudio happily and said, "Thank you Dad, thank you Fleischer Editor-in-Chief." ”
……
……
The hospital district to the north of the University of Rome, home to the largest medical research base and hospital cluster in Rome, is located to the east of the Library of Rome and occupies an entire block between Via Regina and Via Hospital.
There are more than 30 medical research institutes and nearly 10 hospitals in this neighborhood.
The trauma and neurology hospital where Zhou Nan stayed faced Regina Street, and although it was late at night, a large number of people still gathered outside the hospital.
They quietly stood outside the hospital, lit candles one by one, and many people held signs praying for Zhou Nan in their hands.
In particular, a group of students from France, as followers of Zhou Nan's faith, were even more worried about Zhou Nan.
These people are mainly divided into two large groups, one group has become his fans because of Zhou Nan's analysis of international relations, Zhou Nan's analysis of Franco-German relations, and France's analysis of the future, so that they all admire Zhou Nan's knowledge.
Zhou Nan's lecture tour in Italy put forward a more realistic plan for the European Union, which made them feel that the trip was worthwhile. Although a large part of the population believes that the European Union is only a distant goal that may not be achieved in a lifetime.
But at the very least, Zhou Nan's several development steps before the European Union have already given them a glimpse of the future direction. Now, their worship of Zhou Nan is even more crazy.
The other group is dominated by female students, who are superstitious about Zhou Nan and support Zhou Nan because of Zhou Nan's humanitarian speeches.
Although the universal values of humanism are still somewhat out of place in this era, no one can deny its great value. These people are all fascinated by Zhou Nan's great sentiments, and their worship of Zhou Nan is also simpler.
And Zhou Nan's historical and humanistic knowledge when he was originally famous did not leave too many fans. In the eyes of the world, perhaps the intellectual foundation of Zhou Nan is far from proving the greatness of Zhou Nan.
Only the ideas that were later derived from history and humanity can be called great.
These two branches, one is practical, the other is ideological, the other is close to reality, and the other has unlimited development.
Moreover, there is no conflict between the two branches, so although they support different directions, there are no contradictions and struggles.
Of course, it is also possible that both support groups have only just been established and have not yet developed.
For these people, although Zhou Nan knew that he should pay attention to and manage, he didn't know how to manage them.
Even fan management is a new knowledge that he occasionally sees on the online news, and he doesn't have the leisure to understand it at all.
This responsibility was given to Etinny, who could only cross the river by feeling the stones. From currying favor with journalists in Switzerland to helping supporters living on the streets in France, there are now more and more supporters who need to be managed.
He originally wanted to set up an official organization dedicated to supporting Zhou Nan, but Zhou Nan resolutely refused to allow it. In this era, there is no fan economy, only political groups, and if these supporters make a little mess, the responsibility is on Zhou Nan.
Therefore, at most, we can only arrange some people to deliberately guide and integrate the forces of these people in an orderly manner. However, it must not be organized by Zhou Nan, otherwise it will be a taboo.
Zhou Nan believes that as long as there are no accidents, there will be more and more fans in the future, and their strength will become greater and greater.
Prevention is better than prevention, even if he secretly contributes money, but he must not come forward himself.
Due to excessive blood loss, Zhou Nan fell asleep very early. Unbeknownst to him, Etinny and Stolko were having a headache for these supporters outside him.
He didn't know that countless people were worried about him, and he didn't know that the Swiss side and the Italian side had already clashed several times about him.
Telegraphs, telephone calls went back and forth between Bern and Rome dozens of times, and none of the Italian side agreed to the Swiss side sending military planes to pick up Zhounan.
The current Italian government is almost completely controlled by the United States, and air traffic control is also controlled by the American military, and they have long been dissatisfied with the Swiss Air Force, which has no relatives and does not recognize them.
It was not until three o'clock in the morning that the Swiss finally gave up their request to send military planes back to Zhounan. Taking a step back, he was willing to rent an Alitalia JU52 passenger plane to bring Zhou Nan back, and paid a sky-high transportation fee of nearly 8,000 US dollars for it.
Zhou Nan could have imagined that this assassination would bring many well-intentioned people to muddy the waters, and then fish in troubled waters, of course, the Swiss government would not have imagined it.
As a rising star, Zhou Nan's knowledge and insights have been regarded by the Swiss as their most valuable wealth, and if they want to drag Zhou Nan into the political whirlpool, the Swiss side will never agree to it.
There is competition between political parties in Switzerland, but there is no time for life and death. Even the positions of the seven consuls are almost fixed, two for each of the three major parties, and one for the other small parties.
And the line of power of all political parties in Switzerland is much the same, and there are not many differences.
Although Zhou Nan is only a member of the Liberal Democratic Party, he is now regarded as a valuable asset by other parties, and for Switzerland, the more talented people like him, the better.
So it was quickly agreed to pick up Zhou Nan as soon as possible, and to control the number of times he went abroad and appeared in public in the future.
As for the disgusting demand of 8,000 dollars by the Americans, Switzerland can afford this loss.
(It's officially on the shelves, thank you for your continued support.) There are more people who have rewarded today, and I thank a few people later in each chapter. )
