The closer Zhou Nan's second volume of "General History of the World" was completed, the more entangled he became.

Because in order to give the whole painting and calligraphy a happy end, it seems that the end of the book should be arranged after the end of World War II.

However, in the face of the complex international situation after the end of World War II, in order to draw this successful conclusion, it is necessary to describe the current international situation at countless lengths.

In addition, it is also necessary to devote a lot of space to describing the gains and losses of various countries in World War II, which leads to the fact that the length of the next volume will be far more noisy than Zhou Nan expected.

This book is no longer someone else's "General History of the World", but completely belongs to Zhou Nan himself. Especially after the next volume, the content of this book is no longer the same as the books that have appeared before.

The only thing that is the same is the deconstruction of history created by others.

This is like after the advent of the car, Zhou Nan also adopted the method of one body and four wheels, completely relying on his own production of engines, tires, and body to create a car that completely belongs to him.

Although this is not an invention, it is definitely not plagiarism.

Although Etinny thinks that Zhou Nan's next volume should be written after World War II, even if it expands the length of the book. But Zhou Nan knew that the complicated situation after World War II would continue until 49 years, and it was very irresponsible to close the coffin at this time.

After consulting with Favre and Toynbee, he finally decided not to write about the sensitive event of World War II in the book for the time being, leaving everyone with a little regret.

Ten years from now, when the gains and losses, mistakes and rights of World War II have been recognized, it would be better to write a book dedicated to the history of World War II.

After Zhou Nan's speech at Britannia College, where he sneered at the universities, the storm of academic controversy dissipated at once.

Although Zhou Nan did not directly attack their foundation, he pointed out the shortcomings of both of them at once, which made them feel bored fighting each other now.

Before refining and improving their academic direction, when their own scholarship is indeed behind the times and Zhou Nan's perspective of global deconstruction, what is the point of their struggle with each other?

It's as if they were originally going to discuss the sword in Huashan and fight for the first place in the world, but they were suddenly poured a basin of cold water, it turned out that they had been fighting for a long time, but they were fighting for the second place in the world, so what else was there to fight for.

However, because of this, Zhou Nan almost stole the limelight, and the villa where he lived became the favorite meeting place for British academics.

However, Etinny and the others did a good job of logistics for Zhou Nan. Visitors are not received every day, and only after 4 p.m. will different gatherings be arranged for academics.

As for the people in the political circles, Etinny could push as much as he could, but he couldn't push them away, and Zhou Nan sent them away in a few words.

Academic discussion is Zhou Nan's favorite activity, and through discussions with different scholars, Zhou Nan also enriches himself in the process.

With the integration of academic ideas of later generations, although Zhou Nan is not as good as those professionals in some industries or research directions. But the four words broad and profound, Zhou Nan at least accounted for the first two.

At the same time, Zhou Nan's fame is recognized by more and more people in the bachelor's field through such academic discussions.

The recognition of the academic community is the foundation of Zhou Nan. Britain is still the cultural center of the world, and through this kind of dissemination, Zhou Nan has gradually been recognized by the academic community in the United States and other places.

In this way, Zhou Nan's life in London has become regular. Academic research and discussion, receiving new knowledge every day, also brought great joy to Zhou Nan's life.

Audrey is not lonely, in addition to practicing dance with Stephanie every day, she socializes more and more. Although she didn't like to play with the princess Marita, the princess seemed to like her and would call Audrey whenever there was a party.

Mrs. Hemstra wanted Audrey to integrate into British high society as soon as possible, and even if Audrey did not want to go, she would urge her to go to the party.

In Zhou Nan's view, Audrey is just a tool for the pampered princess to seek a sense of existence and superiority, and it may not be possible to say how much she likes Audrey.

But Zhou Nan can't get involved in such a thing, he can't detain Audrey at home and not let her go out. In that case, the delicate princess will probably be killed directly in the villa where he lives.

Zhou Nan still remembers that he owes the other party a favor without knowing it, which is really a disaster. This also made him feel a little respectful of the princess, for fear that she would remember when she would remember it.

On August 8, Zhou Nan and the others received a telegram from Kelly. Nothing happened to the farm, but Ollie gave birth to a litter of seven puppies.

The news made Melissa extremely happy, and she cheered in a moment's forgetfulness, revealing two bare front teeth, which made her quickly cover her mouth in shame.

Although she is not yet eight years old, the girl's love for beauty seems to be innate. Originally, she had no mother, only a nanny to take care of, but now Lady Hemstra played the role of a mother, and Audrey played the role of a bosom sister, which made her especially fond of both women.

Mrs. Hemstra doesn't have much to do, and her main focus now is on the housekeeper, handling the trivial matters of life for Zhou Nan.

Audrey's personal image has already passed the positioning of Zhou Nan and Coty Perfume, and she can't get into it. So most of her energy was spent on dressing up Melissa, a little girl, and it also made Melissa extra dependent on her.

"Jonas, did Aunt Kelly say what color puppies are? How many males are there? How many females? ”

"The telegram didn't say it, keep a little mystery, and there may be surprises when you go back!"

She frowned a little tangled. “…… But I want to know now! ”

Let Nord put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Then I have someone send a telegram to ask Aunt Kelly, okay?" ”

She struggled for a while, but still said, "Dad, I'll know when I go back." Aunt Ella said that we can't spend money indiscriminately, we have to save every raw penny. ”

Jean Nord smiled with relief. "Okay, Daddy listens to you."

Lady Hemsstra turned to Audrey and asked, "Did the princess ask you out today?" ”

"The royal family is going to a girl scout tomorrow and she doesn't have time."

"Alright, you can come with me in the afternoon to buy wedding supplies for Veronica. Stephanie, you can also come along, don't stay in your room all day. ”

Stephanie smiled, nodded, and said, "Of course, ma'am, I also just want to buy some gifts for my dad." ”

Toynbee officially divorced just two days ago, but his marriage has long since died in name. He and his current girlfriend and secretary have been together for seventeen years, but it has never been legal.

Their wedding was scheduled for the end of next month, but by that time Zhou Nan had already returned to Switzerland.

Veronica didn't ask Zhou Nan to come back to the UK for their wedding, because they had already decided to make Switzerland their honeymoon and would go to Switzerland as well.

Jean Nord looked up and asked Etinny, "It's tomorrow weekend, does Jonas have any important plans?" ”

"Not tomorrow. Weekends are private time. ”

Jean Nord said to Zhou Nan again: "My friend, Sir Crete has invited me several times, and invited us to go to the Cotswolds for two days, which is known as the most beautiful countryside in England, and if you have time tomorrow, I will call him now." ”

Audrey said with some surprise: "I know the Cotswolds, in the west of Oxford, where the countryside is said to be very beautiful. ”

Seeing Audrey's heartbeat, of course Zhou Nan would not object, and said with a smile: "Then let's have a good rest tomorrow and spend a weekend there." ”

Mrs. Hemstra was also very impressed, and said, "I am afraid that one day is not enough, and if we set out tonight, where can we spend two nights!" ”

Zhou Nan shrugged. "I don't have any opinions."

Lady Hemstra immediately laughed and said, "Then I'll call Veronica now, and we'll have to move a little faster today so that we won't be delayed." ”

After breakfast, Zhou Nan and they started their day's work.

The more he reached the final stage, the easier Zhou Nan's work actually became, because there were fewer and fewer materials to find, and in many cases, it took more time to find information than it was for him to fill in the book.

Since the Industrial Revolution, Britain has been the center of the world, and they have collected documents and materials from almost every region of the world. Many of the information here has not been made public, and other countries do not have it, but Zhou Nan has written it all into the book.

In Switzerland, there are no such conditions, neither can France and Germany, and only England has such a rich reserve of materials.

"Jonas, the impact and damage caused by the Dongying earthquake here are quite different from place to place, which one should we use?"

"Show me a few stats. At the time of the earthquake, I had just been born, and the media at that time were full of people, and the different methods of statistics caused the final results to be quite different. It's almost impossible to get exact statistics, so it's all the more important to focus on the long-term impacts...... Through these influences, we can pick a closer piece of data. ”

"Jonas, there is only rough data on the British side of the industrial data of the thirties in Germany, do we need someone to collect data from Germany?"

"It's too inconvenient now, the data in the UK is more fair, I took a look, and the statistical error with the Swiss side is not big, so let's follow this data."

"Jonas, is the impact of the U.S. economic crisis somewhat exaggerated? Does overcapacity really have such a big impact on the real economy......

(Yesterday's British royal family was Hanover, not Normandy, but their menus were French, a tradition from that era.) I didn't express it clearly enough, so everyone misunderstood)
