Chapter 232: Pearl Harbor
Subtitle of this chapter: International Relations Can Be Seen After Spending Money
In fact, when it comes to Sino-French relations and Sino-German relations in 1920, I have to mention the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, the problem of my Qing Dynasty is that I can't pass a crucial hurdle, the nation-state. In fact, Lafayette, Zeng Zuo, Li Hu and Yuan may not know these spirits, but it is the angry young people like Guangxu and the Six Gentlemen of Wuxu who don't understand the tricks.
"Protecting the Qing Dynasty does not protect China, and protecting China does not protect the Qing Dynasty." , the history of the late Qing Dynasty is all in this sentence.
If you don't look at me in the Qing Dynasty with nationalist glasses, the high-level leaders of the late Qing Dynasty after the Second Opium War are still quite hard-working, and their performance is much better than my Dameng, especially Nanmeng. They can also engage in the Westernization movement, and they can also have a "Tongzhi Zhongxing".
When it comes to Sino-French relations, they were able to fight a Sino-French war that brought down the French cabinet and cost them a lot of face.
Well, I'll save some face for Miss Aynuka later.
When it comes to Sino-German relations, the Manchu Qing leadership, like many writers who have traveled through the country, once had the brains to come up with a Sino-German-American triangular alliance. The real implementers of this alliance are the Xinhui Gong and the Xiangshan Gong. Who said that I came with rice buckets in the Qing Dynasty?
In 1908, Tang Shaoyi sent an envoy to the United States as a special envoy of the Qing Dynasty in the hope of reaching a preliminary agreement with President Roosevelt Sr., and the minister to the United States at that time was Wu Yanfang. Unfortunately, the elder Roosevelt did not give much thought to it and ruthlessly rejected the offer.
Well, I can't refuse if he refused, I'll ......
"Tuk, tuk, tuk."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
I sent away all these mahjong players at home, and Your Excellency Justice is now going to visit that "Mr. Professor", who will this be?
No matter who it is, how can I open the door now?
Yuan Yanqian didn't want to open the door, and Miss Ainuka didn't want to care. The dog man and woman walked into the bedroom holding hands one after the other......
"Hello, are you there? It's me! ”
A woman's delicate voice faintly came from outside the door, and this voice was quite familiar. Therefore, our Master Yuan didn't want to open the door anymore, but wanted to close the bedroom door.
But the little dragon girl didn't do it, she suddenly stopped and listened carefully, and then she kept nodding with one hand on her waist and one foot, and stared at Yuan Yanqian with a hippie smile in a huff.
Miss Ainuka pointed to the door, and our Master Yuan hurriedly shook his head.
Miss Ainuka simply threw away his hand and went straight to the door, but our Master Yuan had to stop her with a long sigh, and turned around and opened the door happily.
"Hello, you...... Hahaha...... How did you shave a bald head?! ”
"I ......"
"But that's okay, you're bald...... It seems that you are more handsome after shaving your head. ”
Master Yuan rolled his eyes, I didn't shave my head and become handsome, but because I was too handsome, I became bald.
He touched his slightly stubble head, and said with a wry smile: "Lilian, why did you suddenly come like this?" Neither will you send me a telegram so that I may fetch you. ”
Miss Lillian-Gish, who had a little fatigue on her face and a little dust on her body, pounced on him, wrapped her arms around his neck and said happily, "Didn't I want to give you an unexpected surprise?" Are you surprised now, like it or not? ”
Lao Tzu is really surprised now, but he doesn't like it at all!!
"Hmmm......"
"I'm tired, I really miss you, do you have ...... There's a guest?! ”
Miss Ji Xu jumped down from him, carefully looked at Miss Ainuka with a gloomy face, and then at Master Yuan, who was full of bitterness, and the smile on her face was also stiff.
But in the end, she is an actress who has been in the rivers and lakes since she was a child, and she snorted and said: "Haha, Ni...... Mr. Yuan. I didn't think you were entertaining friends, so I'll go to the hotel first......"
"Nope! You talk, I'll go first! ”
After all, our Master Yuan still has a too young, too simple Tucson, and he didn't dry enough clothes. He has no experience in opening a harem or even splitting legs in his two lives, let alone the embarrassing scene of being "caught and raped in the room". For a moment, he felt that he couldn't stop it, so he watched the little dragon girl run out quickly.
"Phew!"
The door was slammed shut.
Like the closed door of the Qing Dynasty, the beautiful idea of the Sino-German-American triangular alliance has only been put on hold for the time being.
Miss Lillian-Gish said apologetically, "Neo, I'm sorry. Not as good as you......"
"No, Lillian. It's me who should say I'm sorry! Yuan Yanqian cleaned up her mood and finally didn't let the other one go, "You are also my 'guest'." Please be sure to stay. ”
As he spoke, he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out the ......
THE MOVIE STAR SAID WITH A SMIRK: "SO I'M JUST YOUR 'GUEST' JUST LIKE THAT POOR BLONDE?" Well...... Why did you wear a mask? ”
Because this mask can add 1 to all your attributes! 18 charm plus 1 point is 19 points, which is close to the limit of mortals.
Miss Ji Xu's legs suddenly became a little weak, and she couldn't stand steadily, and she exclaimed softly and delicately: "Greasy ......"
YUAN YAN, WHO WAS WEARING A HELLO KITTY MASK, DIDN'T SAY A WORD, AND TOOK A LUNGE TO HOLD HER IN HER ARMS WITH A PRINCESS HUG, WALKED INTO THE BEDROOM, AND CLOSED THE BEDROOM DOOR WITH A BRUISE OF HER LEFT ......
"Phew!"
In fact, when it comes to the early Sino-US relations, the essence is "open door", and when the door is open, it is easy to get in and out.
In order to maintain this vast market, the United States is still quite friendly to our Qing Dynasty. In particular, during the signing of the "Xinchou Treaty", he has always defended our Qing Dynasty, and even did not hesitate to fight other countries, but he still received some results. At the very least, the integrity of the remaining territories has been preserved. Although it failed to reduce the reparations, the United States later took the initiative to refund the reparations and fostered a green and slippery university.
The United States prides itself on cheap industrial and agricultural products, two of which are much larger than its fists. In the nineteenth century, the goods from the United States were still a "trickle", but after the twentieth century, they poured into our Qing Dynasty like a surging tide, and quickly swept the invisible hand of the market.
At the time of the First World War, both sides still felt a little rusty. But by the time of World War II, China and the United States had become allies with aspirations.
Of course, because of the comparison of strength, the United States is the main force. After the shameful sneak attack they received at the beginning of the Pacific theater, they launched wave after wave of offensives. Seris, on the other hand, waited for change by procrastination, held his last breath and did not surrender, and finally survived until 1945. After the end of the Second World War, the two sides quickly entered a honeymoon period.
However, there was another civil war in Seris. The emerging forces that came to power this time were like chicken blood, and they had another fight with the United States on a certain peninsula. This time, the United States was accidentally beaten by Seris in the early stage, and it was the turn of the United States to grit its teeth and persevere. Unfortunately, Seris had limited logistical capacity and was never able to achieve a decisive victory.
Later, due to some political factors, Seris crossed the 38th parallel. And the United States, which had stabilized its footing, finally discovered the weakness of the other party and pushed it back with all its strength, and Seris did not want to suffer too much loss. In the end, the two sides were deadlocked on the 38th parallel.
Originally, there was a high probability of a fourth war between China and the United States, but Cyris was ambitious and made a bold statement that "half of the population will die, and there will be 300 million people", but the United States, which has calmed down, is determined to avoid a war that is too tragic.
Thereupon...... It's time for the Sage.
Our Master Yuan lit a cigar, he stroked the smooth back of the big star and asked, "Is your "Eastern Road" finished filming?" ”
Miss Ji Xu gave him a blank look and said, "Well, I got on the fastest train to find you as soon as I finished it, but I didn't expect ......."
Yuan Yanqian interrupted her with some embarrassment: "Hey, don't mention this." ”
"Why didn't you mention it?" The female star propped herself up with her elbows, and asked in surprise regardless of her spring appearance, "That BLONDE is really cute, you just give up?" ”
Master Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and asked in disbelief, "Listen to what you mean and encourage me to chase her?" ”
"Hahaha......" Miss Ji Xu suddenly stretched out her hand to stroke his face, and said a little stupidly, "Tired, how can a person like you be bound by a woman like me?" Don't say you're not married now, even if you're married, I don't know how many girls will throw you into your arms? ”
Indeed, even after he revoked the "Card: Spooky 2", he still had 16 charm points. Much taller than the average person. Not to mention, he also has the bonus of a literary writer.
She frowned and sighed softly, "I, AND THAT BLONDE, CAN YOU REALLY STOP YOU AND THEM......"
I have to say that the concept of marriage and love of people in the entertainment industry is really different from that of ordinary people.
In the so-called drama life, sometimes some actors really can't tell what is real and what is false. Especially for methodist actors, their performance style requires them to fully integrate into the role, in addition to the actor's own personality, but also to create the character's own character and life, so as to realistically interpret the role. Then the love in these character plays will naturally come true.
To put it seriously, some actors and actresses who love each other from the play to the outside of the play are not all "your circle is really messy" or the agency and the filmmaker need them to make a scandal, but they are too immersed in the fake drama and do it. BUT WHEN THEY COME OUT OF THIS ROLE, IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE.
Lillian Gish has been in the mess of Hollywood all these years, and sometimes she has to do things she doesn't want to do, many things are really seen through, so she was never married in the original timeline.
She took the cigar from Master Yuan's hand, took a hard puff, and then said faintly: "Tired, I can see that BLONDE really likes you, don't miss it." ”
As she spoke, she sat up and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Come on, young man, big sister will help you!" Hahaha......"
"Hmm...... You're still a big sister?! Yuan Yanqian was aroused by this sentence again, and immediately launched the fourth war between China and the United States.
"I'm tired, I'm throwing in the towel! I find you're even more tired than last time......"
"Hmph, do you know how powerful we are Cyris?"
"I know, I know, can't I beg for mercy?"
"In that case, I will be merciful to let you go!"
"I'm dirty and tired, you're going to take me to the shower!"
"Ms. Gish, I am willing to serve."
The two sat in the wide tub with each other, and the big star in his arms let out a sigh of satisfaction. She looked around at the richly decorated bathroom and said, "Hello, you're really good here, when will I have the money to buy an apartment like this." ”
"Lillian, you're going to run out of money...... Well. ”
Our Master Yuan remembered that it was 1920, and neither the big directors nor the big stars made much money in those years. Of course, a well-known actor like Lillian Gish must earn more than a salaryman, but this kind of Hudson Riverside house is not something that can be afforded by wages.
Yuan Yanqian smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Well, Lilian." It's just an apartment, I'll give it to you! ”
Oh, I wanted to say this sentence back then, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance...... Of course, I don't have any money.
"Boom la la ......"
The big star's body shook and made a splash, she turned her head and asked in surprise, "Give it to me?" Didn't you say in your letter that your friend had lent you the house? And you really have that much money? ”
"Lilian, you don't have to worry about money......"
Oops, Lao Tzu seems to have been using money too hard lately, there is really no money around, and the more than 3,000 US dollars spent these days are still remitted from home, and this money is almost bottoming out.
The $50,000 that Edison lost to himself is not the time to take it out of the stock market. At least until the NYPR opens.
As for his own "A Song of Ice and Fire", he is simply losing money and making money, even if "SCP" magazine is a big hit, it will take a while to get the funds back.
"Le Monde" and "World Women" still owe themselves some manuscript fees, and the payment for Baisui Mountain has not been settled, but these are also small amounts, adding up to about tens of thousands of dollars.
Of course, you can still buy an apartment like this with this money, but compared to your own big plans, this is a drop in the bucket.
Well, it seems that I was too focused on fame and big plans, and I forgot about small money. I still have to put the next step on the agenda as soon as possible.
He looked at the beautiful woman in his arms and asked, "Lilian, since this movie is finished." So what does Mr. Griffith do in Los Angeles? ”
"He's tired, he's doing late production."
"Hey, you sent a telegram for him to get to New York as soon as he was done. Anyway, your "Road to the East" definitely doesn't have any box office, just do whatever you want. Let's start shooting sound movies as soon as possible. ”
"Tired, how do you know that this film has no box office?"
"Hmmm......"
Our Master Yuan was too lazy to find a reason this time, so he simply learned from the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor by little Japan, and he opened the prelude to the first naval battle between China and the United States.
