Subtitle of this chapter: Who else is more prominent than the current Grand Commander?

……………………

The people of Seris said that the heavens are constant, not for Yao, not for destruction. And the direction of the United States will not change with Wilson's resignation, Harding's inauguration, and Yuan's victory over Lieutenant Colonel Harold Alexander in a duel.

The recession that began in the mid-1920s has not yet picked up, and the only good news on the economic level is that the soaring prices that Americans complained about in the latter part of World War I have finally stopped, and the prices of most necessities are now falling slightly.

Although the Sarco-Van Zetty case has not yet begun, the super-patriots are still in a frenzy to send the two to the gallows. Fortunately, the great fear of red has faded.

Under the "call" of Mr. David Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation," the Ku Klux Klan has made a nationwide resurgence and is currently recruiting its first few hundred thousand members. (Author's note: Griffith was really a little wronged in this matter, and his original intention was to "revolutionize the perception of northerners by recreating a good history of the Democratic Party" and eliminate the gap between the North and the South after the Civil War.) However, many whites at the bottom of society immediately "realized" that their poverty was caused by black people or Jewish bankers. ）

The men who brewed moonshine, sold moonshine and sold moonshine finally realized that the US imperialists were really paper tigers, after all, Mr. Hoover, the "hermit", was still investigating the red elements in the country and had no power to deal with this matter.

Well, a word about the cultural world.

The current best-selling book in the United States is called Main Street, written by Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951), the first American winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Main Street, which went on sale late last year, would be reprinted 28 times in 1921 and has been called "the most sensational event in the history of American publishing in the 20th century." Through the eyes of a beautiful, innocent, and innocent heroine, Mr. Lewis lifts the veil of hypocrisy on the warmth of the Midwestern town, exposing the isolation, narrow-mindedness, and conservatism of small towns, and mocking the vulgarity, ignorance, and ugliness of the townspeople. After the publication of this work, "Main Street" has become almost synonymous with conservative life in the United States.

Next is the "Outline of World History" compiled by the English writer Herbert George Wells, who is also a teacher and friend of Xu Zhimo.

This benevolent brother does have a few brushes, not only can write science fiction, but also compiled this very down-to-earth and popular historiography. The Compendium of World History deals with the history of the world spanning five continents, from the formation of the earth, the origin of living things and man, to the modern World War I. With 105 maps and 100 illustrations, it is a true classic.

In third place, of course, is our Master Yuan's "A Song of Ice and Fire". And on the best-selling list, "Titanic" written by his female disciple Miss Helen Brown ranked tenth.

This is probably the biggest change this time-traveler has made to the history of American literature so far. It's not that he didn't work hard enough, but "A Song of Ice and Fire" is still a little too advanced. Even though he has already produced a "clean book", many conservatives have begun to call for a boycott of this "little yello book written by Chinese."

The most important thing to hear is that in 1921 the hem of the American women's skirt was finally, finally, finally raised to the knee. No matter how hard our Master Yuan tries, he can't stop the skirt from continuing to rise. Well, he's happy to see it happen.

Friday, March 11, 1921.

In the evening of this day, Yuan Yanqian, who was still a few days away from crossing the "full" half a year, took a car to the White House, which is known as the "center of the world".

Of course, it's a little early to call the White House the center of the world. However, as a traverser, Master Yuan naturally understands that this building will definitely become the most important scene on the historical stage, and the owners who live in it will definitely play the most crucial role.

This is not an exaggeration, because history is before his eyes.

Kremlin, 10 Downing Street, Berlin Chancellery, Elysee Palace, Akasaka Palace, ***...... Of course, these places are important, but they really don't weigh as much as 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.

And now he stands in the ...... of this neoclassical sandstone building built in 1800 Back door. It's not that he is Chinese or that he doesn't have enough coffee to go through the back door, but because the front door is for tourists.

That's right, starting with the third Thomas Jefferson, the White House ...... At that time, the presidential residence, which was not under this name, was completely open to the public, which was a concrete embodiment of his democratic ideas. At that time, there was a constant stream of visitors, and Jefferson himself would walk out of the office at some point, shake hands with strangers, and even share afternoon tea with them.

After President Wilson announced his entry into the war, the White House was closed to the public in order to prevent the "German spies" from taking advantage of the opportunity to assassinate them. However, as soon as President Harding, who is very close to the people, took office, he allowed visitors to visit the White House.

The White House in 1921 consisted only of the presidential residence and the west wing for office staff, and the often photogenic Oval Office was located in the west wing that Theodore Roosevelt built in 1901. (AUTHOR'S NOTE: THERE IS AN AMERICAN DRAMA CALLED "EST ING", WHICH IS VERY THE MAIN THEME.) ）

"Mr. Yuan, please follow me."

"Sir, where are we here?" Yuan Yanqian asked the White House staff member.

"Mr. Yuan, Mr. President, please come to his office."

Lao Tzu can be regarded as a copy of it, and the first time he entered the White House, he went directly into the Oval Office, which is really exciting......

"Wang! Woof! Woof! Even the Shih Tzu he brought with him was excited.

Master Yuan pointed to the pillar...... Well, the Wang Xing who marked the turf said: "Sir, this is one of my gifts to Mr. President and the First Lady. Can you bring it in? ”

The staff member scratched his head and thought for a while: "Mr. Yuan, you better not take this dog to see the president, I think it's better to have someone send it to Mrs. ”

"That'll do fine."

Yuan Yan said in her heart, the Shih Tzu dog is more pleasing to women, so it is better to send it to the first lady. It is said that this lady Florence Clint Harding has a bad temper with people, but she has a good temper with dogs.

So Master Yuan carried a large box and followed the guide straight to the president's office. In these years, even the American agent's sense of secrecy is quite poor, and no one asked him to open this large suitcase to check it along the way.

Fortunately, now he is the acting director of the American branch of the SCP Foundation, not an anarchist, and if he puts TNT in it, Yuan Yanqian can change history by exploding on the spot.
