As soon as I got back to the basketball court, I saw a tall, strong, unruly white man, smiling at him, his teeth were white, but his expression was idiotic - "Oh my God! George, why are you here? ”
"I'm going to kick you in the ass and show you the power of Barton." Patton was dressed in neat tracksuits, with bulging muscles and broad shoulders, standing in front of Situ Nan like a human tank.
"Basketball is an elegant sport, so you should play football (Americans call football football)!"
Situ Nan frowned slightly, and said in his heart: That guy Patton is a brute bull, his body is super good, I played with him once last time, and my whole body was sore when I came back.
Thinking of this, Situ Nan had a headache, and turned to MacArthur, whose face was a little proud, "Why is this guy George?" I thought he was in the United States? ”
"Why can't I come, I think I almost won the championship in the first place!"
Barton raised his head in the air, a proud expression. He was telling the truth, he did participate in the Olympics, and it was an inhuman modern pentathlon, which shows that this guy is super physical, and he is a sports maniac.
Situ Nan knew Patton not for military reasons, but because he had close contacts with the Patton family before he met Patton.
Patton's grandparents, Benjamin? Wilson is a well-known wine and brandy merchant in California, a million-dollar winery in Pasadena, a large landowner, and the first mayor of Los Angeles.
This qiē was later inherited by the elder Patton, who was also a big figure in politics in California, and the elder Patton, who had been mayor, had a good relationship with Situ Nan in terms of investment.
And Barton's sister Nida? Patton frequented William's Hill Cottage and was a frequent visitor to Situ Nan's house, with such a background, coupled with Patton's own bravery, he was like a fish in water in the army, and had a good relationship with Pershing and other important generals in the army.
"I've heard about you, but the term you got last time wasn't a little bit away from the championship, right? Nida said, "You were the last to be carried out?" ”
Situ Nan sneered. Deal with people like Barton. You don't have to be polite to him, otherwise you will be looked down upon.
"Haha! The four guys running in front of me at the time were really annoying, but it was good that they ran faster, or I would have kicked them in the ass. ”
Barton opened his mouth to laugh. I think that it was really crazy at the beginning, and I ran from the army staff to Europe to participate in the Olympics by myself, and now I think about it, and I don't have a lot of emotion.
In the second half, Situ Nan was entangled badly by Patton's guy, and he didn't want to "hurt" him, so he moved a lot softer and played a little. It's time for a break.
For this temporary friendly match, Situ Nan didn't pay much attention to the result, and sat on the sidelines and bragged and farted with Douglas. "That guy is brave and cunning, and when he appears on the battlefield in the future, his enemies will have a headache."
Situ Nan looked at Barton's vigorous figure on the field and commented.
MacArthur nodded, deep in understanding: "George has a crazy temperament in him. Their family is a traditional family of beautiful people. ”
Speaking of which, Barton was still his apprentice at West Point. Interestingly, there are still grades.
"By the way, this time except for the two of you. There are still quite a few servicemen in the American delegation, right?? Situ Nan asked MacArthur with a smile while wiping his sweat.
"There are several, all of them are those young officers from the military department." MacArthur laughed. Now the US Army has shrunk in size, and for those young officers, it is simply painful. Just like Barton, they would love to go to Europe for the Games.
The concept of physical education is deeply rooted in the blood of Americans, who have been educated since childhood, and physical education is an important part of school education, and they still have not given up physical exercise when they grow up. From the officials and nobles to the common people, most of them have been doing physical exercise all their lives. Asians rarely have this kind of perception, and perhaps this is also an aspect of the lag behind Westerners.
Situ Nan felt a little emotional, and asked himself if he could be as obsessed with physical exercise as MacArthur or Barton.
After Situ Nan left the court, the Nanhua basketball team gradually fell behind. The score has fallen behind by 10 points, and the pace of the players is beginning to be unable to keep up, and the gap between physical fitness and physical fitness is slowly reflected.
"I'm going to finish the game!"
Situ Nan threw off the towel and put it on again. As soon as he came on the field, those boys seemed to see a savior and stuffed all the balls to Situ Nan, who did not live up to their expectations, scoring consecutive points and pulling the score back.
Barton gritted his teeth in anger, stared wide-eyed, and stared at Situ Nan, but Situ Nan was not afraid, and at the last moment, he violently used his strength to knock Barton's humanoid tank away, and then leaned back into the air, and in the surprise of the beautiful French girls next to him, he threw the ball in a very handsome posture to end the game.
Score...... I can't fight, you can't play! Situ Nan shook his finger at the depressed Barton and smiled casually.
"Shit, you must be blinded." Barton was not angry, but he secretly admired Situ Nan's ability in his heart.
Situ Nan's style just now, focused and calm, confident and firm, like a general who strategizes on the battlefield, made Barton moved, but he didn't expect that the hypocritical businessman to have such a hand.
Barton himself usually doesn't pay much attention to the family's business, but the real estate business jointly developed by the Barton family and Situ Nan has swelled several times in recent years, and Barton also feels the influence of the owner of William Hill Villa in the upper class of the United States.
"You won, but we'll get the most gold medals." MacArthur walked over, not at all frustrated, still so calm and confident with the cigarette butt in his mouth. I don't know if this guy will show up with a cigarette butt in his mouth at the opening ceremony tomorrow.
"Really? Guess how many gold medals we can get? Bet with you! Winning the game, Situ Nan was in a good mood.
"Nanhua?" MacArthur looked at Situ Nan with disdain, although there are many people in Nanhua, but the Olympics have always been a pastime for Westerners, and the yellow race is just a role in playing soy sauce, and no Asian country has ever won a gold medal.
"Yes!" Situ Nan said with a smile.
"Alright! Just bet on Nanhua to win a gold medal, right? MacArthur puffed out a puff of smoke, glanced at Situ Nan with some smugness, and said, "Just a medal." ”
"Okay!" Situ Nan nodded, he didn't dare to be too big, it was not easy for the South China delegation to come to France to compete, and almost everyone was not very optimistic about winning medals.
"What about the bets?" MacArthur said with some smugness, feeling that he had won.
"I lost. Promise you a reasonable request. If you lose, give me your pipe! Hate the way you stink when you smoke. ”
Situ Nan looked at MacArthur with some provocation.
"Promise him, Douglas." Patton agitated.
"Good! Looks like I'm going to have to get some new gear for my boys, just wait! MacArthur put his pipe in his mouth. He took a beautiful puff and left with his entourage and team.
That guy has always wanted to strengthen the Philippine military, update equipment, and urge the U.S. Army to deploy an advanced air force in the Philippines.
"It doesn't matter if you lose to him, isn't it just a few planes? It may be possible to encourage the Army Air Corps to increase the purchase of new products from the Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company. ”
Situ Nan thought to himself.
At the end of the game, the members of the South China basketball team were in a good mood and excited. What an honor it is to defeat the United States, the inventor of basketball!
"Captain, you're awesome!"
"Take me as an apprentice!"
"I'm going to write to my dad that we won the Yankees...... Well, stop talking nonsense, don't be a sycophant, today's victory is everyone's work. I am very satisfied with your watch, and I will give you a set of basketball equipment and a commemorative watch later. Now let's go to the feast. ”
Situ Nan waved his hand and said with a proud smile. In a foreign country, it is rare to have such an opportunity. There may not be such an opportunity in the future.
The smiles of these boys are relatively simple. I don't have to learn to be a philistine, but I feel honored to have the opportunity to participate in international competitions and win glory for the country and nation.
The next day, Situ Nan took his wife and children to the Olympic Stadium at the Eve Manor, which was a rare VIP ticket to the front, surrounded by a large group of personable and high-class people, and many well-known figures from the Paris area, both men and women. They are all hypocritically greetings, and some kind of Cheng dù at the Olympics is also a social occasion.
Situ Nan was not very impressed by their elegant French, and sat on the sidelines, happy and clean. What makes him proud is that Laura, who is dressed in full costume, has a radiant face and a lot of demeanor. All at once compared to the noblewomen of Paris.
Situ Nan saw appreciation, fascination and even ** in the eyes of those men, and his vanity began to swell, among the women he was familiar with, Laura's temperament was the best, only Song Meiling could compare with it, and Song Meiling had more oriental mystery, although she was more Westernized, she was still an Oriental in essence.
Paris is a place of aristocracy, but Situ Nan's habits are very common, toad sunglasses, binoculars, snacks, water and other things are all prepared, no different from ordinary fans.
The Eve Manor Olympic Stadium is a grand event, more than 40 countries, black, white and yellow people came, the scene was covered by all kinds of flags, and it is not wrong to describe it as a sea of flags.
Of course, the most important is the blue, white and red vertical striped flag that symbolizes France, and France is now the hegemon of the European continent, which is clearly expressed in the pride on the faces of the audience. Last year, they gave the Germans a hard lesson, and this year the Germans did not participate in the Olympics and had to wipe their tears at home.
Oooh -
Infected by the excitement in the field, Situ Nan whistled excitedly.
Woo woo -
His son, Andy Jr., also cheered, waving small flags vigorously into the field, one was the Star-Spangled Flag of the United States, and the other was the yellow and blue flag of South China. God knows what feelings this guy will have for that strange country thousands of miles away when he grows up.
"Cool? Look there, and the athletes will come out of there. Situ Nan pointed in the direction of the door, and while feeding little Andy snacks, he asked little Andy to use the binoculars.
In fact, they could see it clearly when they were sitting in the front row, but Situ Nan thought it was cool. He would rather have his future son become a free and cheerful American cowboy than a rigid English gentleman or a casual French artist.
"Hey, sir, you're here too!" A girl suddenly came next to him, and Situ Nan turned his head to see that it was Eva, the girl he saw on the basketball court yesterday.
Today, Eva and her friends also came to see the opening ceremony, which happened to be next to Situ Nan.
"Hello, Miss Eva!" Situ Nan nodded friendlyly, today's Eva has spent some makeup, and her face looks a lot more colorful, but she is just an unopened little sister, and she can't compare with the noble and mature Laura.
"This is Miss Eva, my wife Laura, and son Andy. Daughter Alice. Situ Nan introduced. Naturally, he was not interested in the other party, but he just felt that it was a coincidence.
Eva told Sù Stuart Nan, an Austrian, who had come to Paris to see her cousin. Her cousin was a vulgar woman. Although he has a beautiful appearance, Situ Nan is not interested at all.
The snacks in Little Andy's hand seemed to arouse Eva's interest, and it happened that Situ Nan didn't want to pay attention to this naïve little girl, so he changed positions with his son, so that Little Andy and Eva could sit together and share snacks.
"Alice, come, daddy hug!" Situ Nan took the pink daughter from Laura's arms. Enjoy a moment of family fun before the opening.
It is very rare to take children to see the sports meeting around Situ Nan, and there are a few bodyguards sitting next to them, so they don't have to worry about safety.
Seeing Situ Nan approaching, Laura showed a smile in the corner of her eyes, holding Situ Nan's hand, feeling satisfied.
Amid the music, delegations from more than 40 countries entered. The first to appear was the host French delegation, which ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.
When it was the turn of the U.S. team to play, the head of the delegation, MacArthur, strutted his head. Walk to the venue with a proud face. Another American cowboy, Patton, as the standard-bearer, carried the Star-Spangled Banner, with a stern face, a tall and strong body, a crisp and neat step, full of energy, and an excellent appearance.
The athletes of the U.S. delegation smiled and waved small flags to greet the spectators, and the U.S. basketball players who played with Situ Nan yesterday recognized Situ Nan and responded with a smile.
Situ Nan also saw an acquaintance. That's the guy we surfed with in Hawaii a few years ago, and I don't know what Jì's name was.
Bang Bang Bang!
Situ Nan pressed the shutter continuously and took a picture of this rare scene.
The camera's fluorescent light aroused MacArthur and Barton's idea, and Stuart raised the camera and whistled excitedly at them.
"Oooh-" Little Andy waved his flag excitedly and cheered. It is the first time to participate in this kind of activity, and there is a "bad head" father, how can his watch be quiet and elegant?
The fluorescent, waving Star-Spangled Banner, caught the attention of MacArthur and Patton, who turned their heads to see Stuart's smiling face.
MacArthur grinned, his mouth slightly cocked, and his right hand grabbed a handful in his mouth, this guy seemed to have forgotten, he couldn't come out with a corn pipe in his mouth today.
And Barton glanced at Situ Nan, and immediately turned his head, his nostrils almost up to the sky.
Situ Nan had an idea, a bad taste flashed in his mind, and he whispered to He Yongyuan behind him. He Yongyuan said something to a bodyguard not far away.
The guy was very loud and suddenly shouted at MacArthur, "Stupid! That stupid guy who lifted up, your pants aren't pulled up! ”
Less than ten meters from the audience, the dude's loud voice aroused Barton's idea, and he reflexively turned his head again, and saw a big mouth yelling at himself - "Stupid, tie your pants! ”
This remark shocked his heart, and it can be imagined that his footsteps were weak, he instantly became weak, his hands trembled, and the flag in his hand was shaky and almost fell.
Patton is worthy of the courage of all armies, and his reaction ability is also first-class, he grabbed the flagpole for the first time, did not dare to continue to check the trouser chain, continued to move forward with his head held high, and resumed the rhythm just now.
It's just that the pace is much smaller, the rhythm is a little uncoordinated, and the way I look down at the trouser chain from time to time makes people laugh.
Situ Nan was in the binoculars and almost saw Barton's reddened face.
"Douglas, did you really drop the chain?" Barton whispered to MacArthur, who was walking side by side, and he slowed down so that MacArthur could see clearly.
MacArthur lowered his head, set his eyes on Patton's "bird" to reconnoiter the enemy, and then looked at Patton with a serious face and shook his head.
"Oh!" Barton breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, to know how calm and courageous it was to walk over as if nothing had happened just now, the voice was so loud, the people next to him probably heard it, fortunately Barton was the standard-bearer, walking in front, and he couldn't see the expressions of his teammates behind him, but he could still clearly feel the pressure of the gaze behind him!
"Even if there is someone else, you can't see it!" MacArthur then added, kindly comforting the wounded Barton.
As soon as these words came out, Barton's legs instantly softened again, and he felt a cool breeze under his crotch.
When the Japanese delegation appeared, Situ Nan looked at the awkward tuxedo and was a little unhappy, but the expressions of the surrounding audience told Situ Nan that the plaster flag was still quite well-known.
This unhappiness was immediately replaced by excitement, because the five-color flag, which symbolizes China, and the yellow and blue flag, which symbolize South China, appeared immediately after, igniting the enthusiasm of the few Chinese living in France.
The South Chinese Embassy in France has always maintained close contact with the Chinese workers in France, and more than 10,000 Chinese workers remained in France after the war, and most of them entered the factories of the American Chinese Company in France.
More than 100 people living in France attended the opening ceremony, and many people left a few lines of tears when they saw the national flag fluttering on the sports field.
Zhang Bang walked ahead first, as the leader, while Yao Ming and Yao Da Niu were the standard-bearers, and when they passed by the audience near Situ Nan, they waved their arms vigorously, the flag.
Situ Nan waved the five-color flag in one hand and the yellow and blue flag in the other, and gradually his hands stopped, just watching, watching, his heart was a little sour, a little sweet??????
Only he could appreciate it.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Little Andy looked at Situ Nan, who suddenly quieted down, ignorantly.
"It's okay! You have to remember those two flags, you know? Situ Nan stroked little Andy's head and said with emotion.
"Oh!" Little Andy took the small flag in Situ Nan's hand and waved it excitedly.
With a warm hand, Situ Nan turned his head, and what caught his eye was the soft wave in Laura's eyes. (To be continued) RQ
