The huge energy of Eurosteel was felt throughout Europe, it is said that the company originally wanted to be built in Belgium, but the then Belgian Prime Minister did not fully support Downing to build a factory, and the European Steel Company was finally built in Switzerland, and later made Switzerland the second science and technology center of Downing, the news was exposed when Downing passed through Brussels, and the Belgian people from all walks of life were in an uproar, causing Congress to launch a no-confidence motion to remove Prime Minister Rozhye, and the leader without vision is not liked by the Belgian people, The leader of the opposition, Decker, immediately visited Downing, who was temporarily living in Brussels Square, to seek some kind of promise, which would go a long way towards removing Rojje.

Downing said: "I want Belgium and the Netherlands to be united, okay? ”

Belgium speaks Dutch, but Brussels is the world of French, this Mr. Decker is the first parliamentarian who dared to speak in Dutch in Parliament, he smiled bitterly: "I also hope so, I am a lover of Dutch culture, but this is not realistic, Belgium finally came out of the Kingdom of the Netherlands**, our industry is more advanced than the Netherlands!" ”

Downing: "Oh? Forget it, it's still the same. I was annoyed that I had to pass through so many countries on a trip to Switzerland, and how nice it would be that all the constitutional and republican countries of Europe were united. You see, you Belgian power is too small, and it is a shame that I was frightened by France and expelled my good friend Monsieur Hugo. ”

Decker seized the opportunity and said: "It's okay to be a coalition, but it's hard to form a country." What kind of alliance is it? ”

Downing: "Tariff-free, remove checkpoints." ”

Decker: "Many of our industrial products are sold to the Netherlands, and the tariff-free is too much for our appetite, and I am afraid that the Dutch will not agree." ”

Downing thought for a moment, and said, "So, I'll let the Dutch ambassador to England visit my crystal shipyard, and then tempt them to the alliance on the condition that a dockyard of the same caliber be built in Amsterdam." Our shipbuilding technology can build ocean-going ships of more than 10,000 tons, and if they don't have the vision, then forget it, I don't have much hope for this alliance. ”

Decker: "That's a good idea, the Dutch put the most emphasis on shipbuilding, so it's a bit of a score." Will you invest in Belgium? We have a good industrial base, and we are the center of the connection between Britain and Europe, you see, every time you go to Switzerland, the German Confederation, you have to pass through Belgium.

Downing: "This ...... I haven't thought about it yet, if you can do the big thing of establishing a tariff-free union with the Netherlands, I will definitely consider Belgium, this rest assured, at least the logistics center of goods will not be able to run. ”

While he waited for Decker's progress in Brussels, he wondered if Sissi would be unhappy that Eugenie had gone to London. How can we overcome the dissatisfaction of the princess? Inventing a fun little thing? The idea finally came to him when he was enjoying a French opera at the Royal Mint Theatre – the gramophone.

Good idea! Not only satisfying the investment request of the Belgians, but also surprising the little Duchess, Tang Ning seemed to have seen the pretty appearance of Xiao Qianqian's heart, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

To be honest, Downing is not interested in opera, but there is no other entertainment, so I have to listen to it, today I am lucky, there is a rather eye-catching actress, who is playing Alexandre Dumas's son Alexandre Dumas's masterpiece "La Traviata". The masterpiece was adapted into an opera in '53, premiered in Venice and soon spread to Brussels.

Tang Ning stared at the actress, and regarded her smile, singing and harmony as Sissi, the more she watched it, the more she liked it, and asked her assistant and personal bodyguard to buy a bouquet of flowers for this beautiful actress, the beautiful Camellia Girl.

After Tang Ning sent the flowers, he didn't explain anything to his assistant, he had already seen that there were many who gave flowers to the female lead singer, and he was just one of the many, and he didn't have much hope of attracting her attention. When the scene was switched, the assistant came back and said, "Miss Violeta, please come backstage after the show." ”

This is Miss Violetta's second performance, and the first success has made her famous, and she even changed her stage name to the name of Violetta the heroine of the opera, and is full of confidence and arrogance, and the ordinary magnates are completely unlooked down upon by her, however, this time it is the big capitalist who "captivates the country and the city", Lord Earl of Cambridge. She couldn't help but feel like a deer, playing the heroine was really powerful, and she suddenly attracted the world's top magnates. Recently, the story of the French emperor bowing to Downing and sending pregnant empresses out as peacemakers has spread throughout Europe. It was a coincidence that the Earl had actually come to Brussels. Brussels is supposed to be just a respite for the Count, and if you miss it, you don't know when the opportunity will be, and Miss Violetta lets go of her reserve and seizes this opportunity that will change her life.

Before the show was over, Downing ran backstage to see what it was like. Dupu, the author of the opera, who heard that the Earl of Cambridge was coming, personally greeted him at the entrance, and was full of enthusiasm. He just felt that it was an honor to have the opportunity to meet big capitalists and big scientists, and at most Tang Ning would be enthusiastic in the future, and he didn't expect that an opportunity to change his fate would also come to him.

Dupulai was a tenor who had stopped performing in person since '51 and had turned to teaching and occasionally arranging, his home was actually Paris, but recently he was invited by a friend to plan a French opera in Brussels.

The Royal Mint Theatre played a prominent role in the formation of the Kingdom of Belgium. King Wilhelm II of the Netherlands because he was afraid of Daniel? The radical content of Auber's opera The Dumb Girl of Bodizzi led to riots and banned it from being staged in the Netherlands, resulting in the opera being staged at the Théâtre Royal Mint in Brussels. On the evening of August 25, 1830, a riot did break out in the crowd, which became the signal for the Belgian Revolution, and finally led to the Belgian Revolution. For 20 years, the building of the French architect Dames was still used as Belgium's first opera house. This opportunity is good, Dupulai has worked very hard to rewrite the now popular "La Traviata", and there is today's play.

Dupulai and Downing talked until Miss Violetta came down to change places.

The villain of the Lady of the Camellias is just a little baron, and the Lord Earl of Cambridge is not only an earl, but also a tyrant, and Violetta carefully greets him.

To be honest, Tang Ning thinks that her voice is better when she speaks normally than when she sings soprano, there is really no way, a local tyrant is a local tyrant, and no matter how rich and powerful she is, she can't change her local nature.

This soprano is extremely rare and beautiful among singers, which is also the selling point planned by Dupu, obviously Dupulai thinks that Downing is here to chase the beautiful Violetta, so Dupulai is very interesting, briefly introduces Violetta, and makes an excuse to withdraw.

As soon as Tang Ning opened his mouth, he showed his true colors as a local tyrant: "In addition to opera, do you sing other songs?" Folk songs or something. ”

Violetta didn't understand what Downing meant, so she had to follow his words: "I can hand crank the organ, is this a folk song?" ”

Downing's French was not yet to the point of understanding the accordion, so he had to vaguely say, "I must listen to your playing when I have a chance, oh, you sing very well, it's just ...... I won't appreciate it. ”

What an honest tyrant, Violetta felt that the distance between her and the Earl had narrowed a lot, and said sincerely, "You can hire a music teacher, I think." ”

Downing: "Oh, that makes sense, I think Miss Violetta is like a good teacher, not as good as ......"

It's a pity that Violetta didn't understand the meaning of Downing's words, shook her head and said: "How can I be qualified to be a teacher, Teacher Dupulai is a really good teacher......" As soon as she finished speaking, she understood that Downing was trying to get close to her, not really need a teacher, and she immediately regretted it so much that her pretty face was flushed.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for her to be embarrassed, and it was time for the next scene.

Downing said goodbye to Violeta, and before Violetta could leave, she heard an acquaintance in the crew rush in and shout: "It's on fire, everyone run!" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then dispersed, at this time, the atmosphere was extremely tense, pushing and stamping and screaming endlessly, Downing and Violetta were squeezed aside, who cares about you at this time, what Lord Earl and Lord Heroine, it is important to run for your own life.

The stage was deeply enclosed in the innermost part of the theater, the most dangerous place, and Violeta's face was terrified. Tang Ning took her hand, instinctively protecting the weak woman.

After taking three deep breaths, Downing stood on a chair to observe the chaotic theater, where everyone was rushing out like headless flies, and a smell of smoke had spread to the stage.

Downing immediately made a decision and said to Violeta, "Where is the water?" ”

Violetta couldn't think anymore, didn't understand what he was looking for water, Tang Ning had already found a pot of water, and he also picked up a towel casually, dipped it, handed it to Violeta, and said, "Cover your nose with a wet towel when you rush over, try to keep it low, understand?" ”

The colorless Lady of the Camellias could only fully agree.

Because the scene was so chaotic, the efficiency of the audience's escape was very low, and the thick smoke affected the line of sight, and those who fell behind were trembling in a hurry, not to mention Downing and Violetta who fell behind.

Is it just hanging up? Tang Ning quickly used his brain to think about what could be used on his body, huh? Particle beam guns, a thousand rounds of bullets, it's not difficult to cut a dog hole in the wall! But the most important thing is to find the best place to cut the dog hole, don't get out of the 1,000 bullets before you get out, and that's the end of it.

Unfamiliar with the topography of the theatre, Downing counted on our heroine, and he asked her, "Where is the wall directly connected to the outside?" I can make a hole in the wall, and let's get out of it. ”

Under Downing's repeated pleas to calm down, Violetta finally regained her ability to think and became a leader.

The two of them crossed their waists and covered their noses, and through the fog, into the darkness, Violetta cried, "I can't see anything! Can't find the way! ”

Tang Ning figured out another device when he crossed the zippo, and he brought these good things with him when he traveled far away, just in case of accidents, of course, this was also the last magic weapon on his body, and it was impossible to bring them all with him. （http：／／)。

This was the first time that Zippo came in handy, and Tang Ning felt his own wisdom, and he said in a calm tone: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to escape, this little thing can last ten minutes." ”

They found an iron window, haha, now more certain, to be honest, it's really not sure to shoot through a wall, iron window, it's a matter of minutes.

Ricochet was no fun, Downing brought a chair in front of him, told Violetta to hide behind him, and then steadily tried to hit the iron window with a particle beam, an average of 30 rounds could shoot a cut, and a total of more than 120 rounds were fired to cut out a dog hole that people could climb out of.

The window was not as high as it was inside, but it was 5 or 6 meters high outside, and Tang Ning said to the girl, "When you jump, you have to fall forward, so that you can reduce the damage to your feet, watch my demonstration." ”

Tang Ning jumped down and rolled forward, it was really painful, and almost made him scream, but fortunately he held back, otherwise the girl would not dare to jump.

The girl was like the pony in the story of the pony crossing the river, hesitated for a long time before closing her eyes and jumping over, and she forgot everything about turning forward, but she really fell to her feet, and she cried.

finally escaped death, Tang Ning first rubbed the girl's legs for a long time, and then held her in his arms for pity and comfort.

They had known each other for too short a time to be so close that Miss Violet was ashamed, but fortunately she couldn't see her face in the dark light.

The scene was chaotic, and there were many people running for shouts, and Downing didn't want to stay longer, so he used his strong shoulders to carry Violeta, who couldn't walk, back to her home.
