Chapter 479: The Devil Is Coming
"Xiao Li, you're helping me bring the cold drink!!
In the garden behind the presidential palace, Yan Guang was lying in a hammock between two towering trees, leisurely reading the newspaper in his hand, and shouted to the new secretary on the side.
After hearing Yan Guang's needs, the newly appointed beautiful secretary also hurriedly ran to a box on the side and took out the drink Yan Guang needed from it.
Cold drinks originated in the Shang Dynasty about 3,000 years ago, when wealthy families knew to dig ice and store it in cellars in winter for the next summer. The Zhou Dynasty even had a "Ling Ren" who was in charge of "ice power". By the end of spring and autumn, ice became more versatile. The princes loved to drink chilled rice wine at banquets. "Chu Ci? There is an account of "frustrating frozen drinks, making them cooler", and appreciating the chilled glutinous rice wine, which tastes mellow and cool, which shows that the level of cold drink production at that time was quite high.
In the Tang Dynasty, ice products were sold openly, according to the "Tang Dynasty", in the middle of summer, the people of Kuandi sold ice in the market, and the passers-by were so hot that everyone wanted to eat quickly. Unexpectedly, the ice seller thought that he was a strange commodity to live in, and deliberately raised the price of ice, but the passers-by walked away in a fit of anger, and after a while, the ice melted, and the people of Kuedi finally made it self-defeating and lost money. In the late Tang Dynasty, in order to attract business, merchants even added sugar to ice to attract customers.
Cold drinks developed quickly in the Song Dynasty, and there were many types, and cold drink specialty stores appeared. Yang Wanli's poem said: "The imperial city stopped at noon in June, and the people of the city were like cooking sweat and rain. Selling ice came through the water, and the pedestrians did not eat their hearts. β
In the ice shop of Bianjing (now Kaifeng) in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was "rock sugar ice and snow ice yuanzi" for sale, and the iced sour plum soup at that time. It is also a unique flavor. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin'an (now Hangzhou) sold "snow bubble bean water", "snow bubble plum blossom wine" and so on, Song Liu Songnian's "Tea Reading Gambling Market", Song Shujia's "Half Tea Picture", and also painted the scene of selling cold drinks into the painting.
After the Yuan Dynasty, there was a new breakthrough in cold drinks. Brought the advent of ice cream. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, many famous delicious cold drinks appeared one after another, and only in "Dream of Red Mansions", there are records of sour plum soup, rose dew, mulberry dew, herbal tea and rose brine soup.
After entering the Republic of China, although there have been constant conflicts between the government and neighboring countries for more than 20 years, the living standards of the people have also been greatly improved because there have been no major wars in the densely populated central region, and because the progress and development of all aspects of the country have been relatively large.
So far, though. It is not possible to say that every household has a television, a refrigerator, or a car like a beetleββββββ after all, it is only the first half of the twentieth century, and not every household in the United States has a refrigerator.
Although refrigerators, TVs, washing machines, etc., have not yet reached the level of every household, and there are many poor areas in remote areas. But cold drinks or something are generally bearable for this kind of drink.
As for Yan Guang???
Now Yan Guang is in his 50s, but the habit of drinking only fruit juice and cold drinks is still retained, and because of the relatively high popularity of this matter, it has even become a joke.
In addition, although Yan Guang's own private life is relatively erosive. But there is also a saying that "longing is the emotion that is furthest from understanding." β
Ahem, of course, it seems a little strange to use this sentence to describe men, but the meaning is actually pretty much the same. Although Yan Guang has actually lived in private, it is quite erosive. But in China, there are still many men, women and children who have considerable reverence for Yan Guang, or longing...
And because of this. There are really many people like Yan Guang, who don't drink alcohol but drink juice. Even at some domestic dinners, it is not an unusual thing to only drink with juice and not drink, which has benefited many soldiers who have been 'alcohol test'......, Yan Guang may or may not know about this, but he has always maintained his habit of not touching tobacco and alcohol...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
"Whew, it's rare to have half a day of leisure..."
After taking the cold drink from Xiao Li, which can also be said to be the secretary xxxx, Yan Guang sneaked a peek at the secretary xxxx like a perverted uncle, and then continued to read the newspaper while drinking the cold drink.
Today's Yan Guang is over fifty years old, although this is the case, but because of the relationship between not touching research and diligent exercise, coupled with excellent maintenance, Yan Guang's body has been in a very good state.
Although this is the case, in fact, Yan Guang also has a knot, that is, he is in his 50s, but he doesn't even have a son and a half daughter under his knees, let alone grandchildren or something.
He is not without efforts, which can be seen from the fact that the secretary is ranked xxxx alone, in fact, in addition to the mansion of the presidential palace dedicated to his office and residence, there are several extremely gorgeous and huge buildings in the back, which are specially used for those secretaries of xxxx.
For this reason, the presidential palace has even been expanded many times, of course, it is his own wallet, anyway, he is now the richest man in the world, and his personal wealth is not as much as he is from the second to the tenth place, so it is nothing to spend some money.
It's a pity...
No matter how hard he tried, it just didn't work...
The doctor also did many examinations, but the result was that Yan Guang was in good health and there was no problem at all.
As for those secretaries of xxxx? If it's just one or two problems, maybe it's still possible, but since there are so many numbers in the queue, it can't be all problems...
It can be said that Yan Guang's physical condition is simply an unsolved mystery, and it is the kind that ranks first on the list.
In fact, after the examination, Yan Guang also half-jokingly said to the people around him who listened to the doctor's report together.
"Now you can be relieved..."
Although the position of president has always been changed every 5 years, Yan Guang's position has always been very stable, so there have always been many people in China who are worried that Yan Guang will eventually take the road of God's systemββββββ if he has descendants.
In fact, Yan Guang once half-jokingly said that if he had a son and a daughter. Even if it's just a daughter, then as a father, he will find a way to let his children ascend to high positions, such as leaving them a throne or something, and the big deal is to have a constitutional monarchy like the future of the United Kingdom. Only leave a throne for the children, and other rights or something are weakened as much as possible.
In this way, at least the lives of their descendants can be guaranteed, after all, there are many so-called rulers in later generations when they are alive, and their authority is indeed unrivaled for a while, but when they die...
Because of this, Yan Guang sometimes thinks so.
This is also why when the doctor examined, Yan Guang would say this. Yan Guang was still somewhat resentful when he said this, because he knew that although the people around him respected and were loyal to him, they had always been worried that he would go down the same path as Yuan Shikaiββββββ although Yuan Shikai did not become the emperor in this time and space.
Let's not mention that the faces of those people at that time were like this. Yan Guang's heart thought of something.
"Xiang Shaolong..."
In later generations, there was a great god named Huang Yi who once wrote a novel called "Searching for Qin", in which the male protagonist lost his fertility after traveling to the Qin Dynasty.
Of course, that's just a novel, and I'm just a soul. But my inability to have children may be related to this, after all, the doctor has conducted many examinations and proved that there is absolutely no problem with my body. ..., since there is no problem with his own body, his female secretaries are also no problem. Then it can only be that something went wrong during the crossing, and what happened is at least a question that science can't answer...
That's why. Yan Guang is dead...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Since he didn't even have anything under his knees, Yan Guang also had a lot of hobbies. For example, raising some things, such as raising a secretary, raising a secretary and raising a secretary or something...
For now, at least, under his hammock, there is a secretary of Russian descent who is singing a Russian song called 'Katyusha'.
Yan Guang heard this song many times in his later life, and the composer of this song was Blancheer, and he wrote it in a lyric poem by the poet Isakovsky. The song was written in 1939, but it was not popular at the time and did not spread until two years later, after the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War.
As a half-baked military fan, in later generations, Yan Guang liked Russian military songs very much, and always thought that other songs were not mentioned, but if it was a military song, the Russian military song was definitely the best, because at that time, all the Russian military songs were out of the war.
Like 'Holy War', 'Song of the Defenders of Moscow', 'Steppe, Steppe' and so on ...
So when the Katyusha spread, Yan Guang has always liked to let the Russian secretary below sing for him, as for why Yan Guang didn't plagiarize the song "Farewell to Slavic Women" like he did in the beginning, he also plagiarized "Katyusha" by the way...
At that time, China had not yet reached the point where the mountains and rivers were broken, so songs like 'Katyusha' were not suitable for China at that time to be used as military songsββββββ not to mention that it was only a civil war at the beginning.
"Whew, what a pleasure..."
Enjoying the breeze in the hammock, and the Russian beauty who was singing softly next to the hammock, Yan Guang closed his eyes in enjoyment.
For him, such a life is just too good...
However, just when Yan Guang seemed to be about to fall asleep, a piercing air raid siren suddenly sounded in the sky.
βοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌβ
The shrill sirens not only stopped the Russian beauty's singing, but also made Yan Guang open his eyes.
"What's going on? What happened??? β
Saying this, Yan Guang had already straightened up.
At this time, two heroic female bodyguards suddenly walked over outside and said to Yan Guang.
"President, please come with us !!"
Yan Guang didn't have to stay where he was like some TV dramas in later generations, and then kept asking what happened, until the other party told him what had happened.
Instead, after getting out of the hammock, he walked towards a shelter with a Russian beauty while asking the two beautiful bodyguards.
"What's wrong?"
These people around Yan Guang have all been checked, whether it is a bodyguard or a secretary, there is absolutely no problem in loyalty, which is why he trusts them so much.
Hearing Yan Guang's words, the two bodyguards didn't reply.
"It's not clear at this time, but now that the alarm is off, it's best to go to the shelter first."
It's not surprising, after all, the alarm has just sounded, and it would be strange if they knew at this time.
While he was saying this, new bodyguards kept joining on the way, and some news came in intermittently, and soon Yan Guang knew what was going on...
"Just now there is news from the Air Defense Command that a large wave of UFOs is flying towards Beijing!!"
It wasn't until the thirteenth bodyguard arrived that more definite news came out of her mouth. ..., "UFOs? β
Hearing this word, Yan Guang was somewhat stunned, you must know that UFOs are UFOs exclusive to UFOs, that is, flying saucers, aliens or something, why is there a UFO or something at this time?
"Could it be that because of my arrival, I disturbed a lot of things, so aliens also appeared?"
Although he is in his fifties, Yan Guang's ability to think cranky has not diminished at all, at least now Yan Guang is constantly thinking cranky.
Even in Yan Guang's mind, he recalled the plot of a video game in the later life, Metal Slug, because there were aliens or something in it...
Fortunately, it didn't take long for one of the bodyguards next to him to continue to explain.
"It is estimated that it is a Japanese plane, at least how the Air Defense Command judged it."
"That's right, it should have been a plane taking off from North Korea, and I don't know how they bypassed the radar stations in Weihai and Dalian, and they flew all the way to Tianjin before they were discovered!!
When he said this, a newly arrived bodyguard was somewhat annoyed.
If you want to be Yan Guang's bodyguard, you don't just have to look good, you have to be very rich in fighting skills, ordnance skills and various knowledge, at least these are all graduates of regular military academies.
On the other side, Yan Guang also looked surprised.
"Japanese?"
He didn't expect it to be Japanese.
This is not surprising, not that he did not think that the Japanese would take off from North Korea to carry out air strikes on the Chinese mainland, the problem is that he did not think that the Japanese would actually be able to fly to Tianjin, and they have been flying towards Beijing, you must know that there are newly deployed radar stations in Dalian and Weihai as a guard...
"How the hell did these Japanese come to be!!
When he was being carried to the shelter by the bodyguards, Yan Guang was still thinking about it. (To be continued......) β¦β¦οΌ
