Chapter 40: Bismarck, the Secretary (I)
French agent James Bond left Chen Dingtian and the like, because the deal between him and Chen Dingtian was not reached, and this Chen Dingtian actually made such an offer, which is really crazy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Chen Dingtian asked Napoleon to come up with a European princess as a deal, but this James Bond had no right to agree to such a ridiculous condition, so James Bond could only leave. Chen Dingtian didn't kill him, because killing him not only wouldn't make things better, but would only make things worse. Because if Napoleon had this James Bond died, he would definitely continue to send people over, so it was better to keep this James Bond and let him be the microphone between them. And it's useless to kill James Bond, since this is the case, simply leave James Bond's life and let him go back to express Chen Dingtian's goodwill to the French, there is no need to be so rigid.
Of course, the one who asked Napoleon to offer a European princess as a deal was actually just to make a high price, and then gradually bargain. At present, Chen Dingtian does not want to give the information of this British to the French so quickly, because he is still on the territory of the British, and it is not suitable to give the French information immediately. So he dragged on as much as he could.
When James Bond left Chen Dingtian's villa, he scolded: "What a bastard, how can His Majesty the Emperor agree to such conditions?" ”
However, by the time James Bond was ready to leave, it was already dawn, and before they knew it, hours had passed, and it was ready to dawn.
"Shhhh......h
When James Bond saw this man, he immediately showed a surprised face and said, "Oh my God! How is he? Didn't he go to Frankfurt to be a representative? Why did he get here? Damn, did all these Hans join in? It seems that this Chinese Chen is really a fragrant dumpling, and even these Hans are planning to come over and take a bite? I'll have to go and tell His Majesty the Emperor, or I'm afraid we'll be in trouble if we let these Hans get the first hand." ”
James Bond left quickly, and hurriedly wanted to tell the current situation back home and report the news as soon as possible.
"Ahh Chen Dingtian said.
However, just as Chen Dingtian was about to catch up on sleep, there was a knock on the door again.
"Who! There are still guests at this time? Close the qin, go open the door! Chen Dingtian said.
Guan Qin quickly opened the door, and a Westerner in his thirties walked in and asked in German, "Is it Mr. Chen Dingtian's house?" ”
"Oh? German? What's the matter? Who are you? Chen Dingtian asked.
The German in his thirties took the initiative to say: "Mr. Chen, China, I am a gold pander from the Kingdom of Prussia who came to the East to try my luck and find an opportunity." However, because I didn't have much money, I was temporarily unemployed. I saw that you were recruiting for an outreach secretary, so I came to apply. ”
"Oh? Are you here to apply? Chen Dingtian understood.
A few days ago, Chen Dingtian asked those foreigners to help him find an outreach secretary, and this outreach secretary was actually the person in charge of helping Chen Dingtian liaise with the outside world. Because Chen Dingtian felt that he was interacting with foreigners more and more frequently, he couldn't rely on two female secretaries alone. Although these two female secretaries are also learning foreign languages, they obviously can't save the fire from far water, so Chen Dingtian plans to recruit an external liaison secretary among foreigners to be responsible for liaising with the outside world for Chen Dingtian. It's best to be Westerners, because Westerners know Westerners best, and they need to know a few foreign languages. If I don't know several foreign languages as an external liaison secretary, then I'm afraid I will have to be a translator myself.
But if you want to be your own translator, then why do you need this external secretary to do? I actually hope to recruit this external liaison secretary as a method of external communication, and I can concentrate on writing books, and the ordinary and trivial matters of daily external liaison are also handed over to this external liaison secretary, and I am mainly responsible for the final decision of major matters.
According to Chen Dingtian's division of labor, Fu Shanxiang is his own text secretary, and Guan Qin is the guard secretary and concubine, as for this external secretary, he is a real secretary, not that kind of secretary and concubine. Therefore, Chen Dingtian, the secretary of external relations, asked that men and women do not matter, because he really needs a talent, not to satisfy his special habits, so it does not matter the age of men and women. Anyway, there are still many houses in this small villa, and it is okay to leave a guest room for him.
Chen Dingtian took the initiative to sit on the chair, holding the table with both hands, and then prepared to interview this person.
"Well, you're here to apply? If you're German, I won't take your German test. What languages do you speak? Chen Dingtian asked.
The man in his thirties replied: "Basically, I know all the mainstream European countries, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, the Netherlands, Poland, etc. I dabbled in even minor languages, such as Latin and Greek. ”
"Oh? Talent! Chen Dingtian also felt that he had met his peers and talents!
"Where's your resume?" Chen Dingtian asked.
"What resume?"
Chen Dingtian continued: "Oh, habit, that is, introduce yourself to your past experience. You will introduce yourself in English, French, and Dutch, and you will tell us about your resume. It starts when you go to middle school. ”
The man was quick to say: "I went to the Frederick William Lyceum of Liberal Arts, but I was ostracized by my classmates, but I became angry and learned several languages. After that, I studied at the University of Göttingen, but I didn't have much energy to study, and at that time I got into a lot of vices and duels with others twenty-seven times. Then I went to the University of Berlin to study law, and after graduating I worked as a lawyer for a while. But then I went into politics and became a clerk. But soon I quit my job, and then I went home and rested for a while, and then I entered politics again. I was the Embankment Supervisor at the time, and I did well and became an alternate councillor. Later, a member of parliament fell ill and withdrew, and I successfully took his place. Then I went to Berlin and became a member of the Berlin State Council. Now that my term of office has come and I have not been re-elected, I have come to the Far East to try my luck! ”
After listening to the man's introduction in English, Chen Dingtian didn't feel anything. This resume gave him a good impression, although he was excluded in middle school at the beginning, he was not disappointed but worked hard. And when he got to college, although he had some bad habits, he was able to repent later, and the prodigal son did not change his money, a good person.
But then he went into politics, and he had some achievements, which can be good.
Next, the man reintroduced it again in French, but this time Chen Dingtian seemed to be a little confused.
"How do I seem to have heard of this resume somewhere? How is it so familiar? Chen Dingtian began to think.
And when the third time the man introduced him in Dutch, Chen Dingtian seemed to understand something and suddenly stood up.
When the man finished introducing in Dutch, Chen Dingtian asked in a slightly trilled voice: "Your name, tell me your name!" ”
"My name is Otto Bismarck!" Bismarck introduced himself.
"Plop!" Chen Dingtian sat down on the ground in batches, and he was really scared.
Guan Qin hurriedly came over and helped Chen Dingtian up, and Guan Qin was also puzzled, what happened to this Chen Dingtian, so many people didn't want to make him so nervous before, but every German, why did a name alone make him so nervous? This is unscientific! And Guan Qin doesn't think this man is a powerful character, if he is a powerful character, then why do you want to be Chen Dingtian's secretary? But what happened to Chen Dingtian, he was so scared that he did it to the ground?
That Bismarck was also puzzled, why did Chen Dingtian sit on the ground after hearing his name? Is your name so scary? Although Bismarck is also considered "famous" in Germany, it is only "famous", and he is not a famous person, how could Chen Dingtian be taken aback.
"I'll go, it's Bismarck? Is it Bismarck, Germany's iron-blooded chancellor? Bismarck actually came to be my secretary? I'll it! Chen Dingtian almost fainted.
If Chen Dingtian knew that in Germany in later generations, many people may not know who the German emperor was, but they will never forget who Bismarck was. Bismarck's position in the minds of the Germans is the status of China's Taizu, China's great man. Although Bismarck was not the Führer, not the head of a country, his contribution was far greater than that of the German emperors. Therefore, those Germans of later generations may forget who the emperor was, but they will never forget Bismarck as a person. And this Bismarck is already a benchmark of the times, a benchmark that can only be imitated and never surpassed.
China's Li Hongzhang is known as the Bismarck of the East. And Japan's Okubo Ritsu is called the Oriental Bismarck. And the name Bismarck is very famous in Europe, even more famous than his emperor. Even when he was in charge of Germany, he promoted the unification of Germany, led the victory of the Franco-Prussian War, and crowned the Prussian emperor at the Palace of Versailles in France, slapping the French in the face.
However, in the painting about the enthronement and coronation of the German emperor, Bismarck is greatly highlighted, and even when he writes, the painting shows Bismarck's image far beyond that of the German emperor, as if Bismarck is the main protagonist. It is conceivable that Bismarck's status in the minds of the Germans, and even in the minds of Europeans, is incomparable.
Of course, Bismarck's ending was not very good, and he could not escape the fate of a son of heaven and a courtier. After the death of the old emperor who trusted him, the new emperor let him leave mellow to retire, which can be regarded as a rabbit and a dead dog. However, this could not hide Bismarck's reputation, nor could it affect his place in history. Any German would regard Bismarck as a great man, a great man of Germany, a great man who can be compared to Richelieu in France. Perhaps it was this newspaper after report that the French Richelieu dismembered Germany, brought peace to France for many years, and laid the institutional foundation for France's future.
But the same report after report, two men who were almost equally iron-blooded, equally cunning, and equally shrewd and proficient in diplomacy, finally Bismarck unified Germany many years after Richelieu's death, and even defeated France.
"Bismarck, I have finally met a living great man! But, how could Bismarck, your uncle, come to be my secretary? Chen Dingtian thought in shock.
Bismarck still didn't know what he would do in the future, so he still took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Chen, do you think I'm qualified?" Do you think I can be your outreach secretary? Do you think I'm good enough to be your outreach secretary? ”
Chen Dingtian said helplessly: "It's definitely enough, it's definitely enough, it's more than enough." If you're not suitable, there's no one else in the world! ”
Joke, Bismarck played the European countries around, and he was definitely a master of diplomacy. If such a master diplomat is not qualified to be his external liaison secretary, then I am afraid that no one in this world can be competent. Therefore, Bismarck, when he was his own external liaison secretary, was not only not incompetent, but condescended, absolutely condescended, absolutely condescended.
Bismarck immediately asked, "Then Mr. Chen, are you going to hire me as your external affairs secretary?" ”
Chen Dingtian said with a little grievance: "I can't hire you!" ”
"Why? You're not saying I'm up to the task? Do you not want to recruit an outreach secretary? Bismarck asked.
Chen Dingtian replied: "It's not that I don't want to recruit anymore, but I really want to recruit an outreach secretary." It's not that you're not competent, it's that you're very competent, and no one can do it better than you. ”
"Then why won't you hire me?" Bismarck asked.
Chen Dingtian couldn't help but lie on the table, and then held his head and slapped the table several times, as if he was in great pain. Bismarck felt even more inexplicable, what happened to this Chen Dingtian, it was so weird? According to what he learned about Chen Dingtian, there is no such strange situation, this really makes Bismarck feel like a dog, what is wrong with this Chen Dingtian?
After a while, Chen Dingtian took the initiative to say: "It's not that I don't want to hire you as my external liaison secretary, in fact, I really want to, really, really really want to." But I can't afford to hire you! My little pond can't afford to raise you Bismarck! No, it's not just a big fish, it's a real sea dragon king! My pond here is too small to raise a Sea Dragon King! ”
