The farewell banquet of Heffany, the daughter of the German envoy Laurenson, was held at the newly established Deutsche Bosch Hotel in Beijing, which was the first and only high-end hotel with German flavor opened in China by the directors of the German Junkers aristocracy. Deutsche Berg, a symbol of German unity, is a symbol of German reunification, and the Germans also use this high-end hotel as a meeting place for Germans in China. Nowadays, more than 100,000 German workers, military officers and scholars have fled from the economically depressed and impoverished Germany to China to survive, which has also deepened Sino-German exchanges.

There were even a few German aristocrats, feeling grateful and guilty for helping the Germans, who returned to China the collection they had stolen from China's Old Summer Palace twenty-four years earlier, temporarily in the custody of the Forbidden City.

This Deutsche Burg Hotel looks like a German castle from the outside, which is very imposing, and it also makes many Europeans seem to have a sense of home. Hemphon's farewell banquet was able to be held here definitely because of Laurenson's face, Laurentian Project saved hundreds of thousands of Germans, and they were so grateful to Laurentian that they would never refuse to help his daughter hold a banquet.

However, despite the surprisingly good service and hotel management, the meticulous German character does not shine in the hotel's dining, with the result that the Deutschberg Grand Hotel is only satisfied with the hotel service.

Opening a German-style restaurant in a food country like China, the Germans are really looking for death, not to mention that Chinese can't eat, even those Germans working in China occasionally go to Deutsche Fort restaurant to recall what the taste of home is, but they will definitely not eat more. Gradually. The Germans found business in the hotel's restaurant department to be dismal.

In desperation, the Germans had no choice but to hire a Chinese chef as their head chef. But the Germans, after a shocking selection, brought in two cooks from Sichuan. There are still a few Germans to learn, and the meticulous way of learning makes the cook's apprentices ashamed, but ...... The Germans still can't cook Chinese Sichuan food, and it is extremely unpalatable, like chewing wax.

However, the Germans were very creative in asking Sichuan chefs to make Sichuan cuisine into Western food, which really attracted many people to eat here for a while. And this kind of creativity was even brought back to Germany by the management of Deutsche Grand Hotel, creating a new German Western food practice. All of a sudden, Chinese cuisine became popular throughout Western Europe, and Chinese cuisine also became a door to open exchanges between the East and the West.

The director of the Grand Hotel Deutschberg was a good friend of Sir Laurentian and was delighted to host a banquet for his daughter. On the evening of July 7, a send-off banquet was held. The guests invited by Laurentian were all his friends, including the most important guest, Wang Maoru. And everyone learned that Helenie was going to return to China to get engaged, and they came to congratulate her, and they saw the value behind Laurentian - after Helenie got engaged. Laurentian will also be promoted back home. Helenie and her fiancé had another wedding.

Wang Maoru arrived in a hurry, hoping to leave quickly, because there was still a lot to do at the ceremony two days later, but he was entangled by Helenny. Hemphina blamed him for not coming to the appointment that day, saying that she was very sad, and in the chatter, Hemphina was still drunk and hugged Wang Maoru and cried bitterly. This made Wang Maoru extremely embarrassed. Sir Lawrence was also embarrassed and asked the maid to carry Helenny back.

Sir Laurentian said: "It seems that Heffina really confided in you as a friend of her own. ”

I don't know if he's really stupid or pretending to be stupid. This is a friend, this is a ...... Guys, well, there is no such word in this day and age. Wang Maoru smiled awkwardly: "I heard her say that she is going back to Germany to get engaged." ”

"yes." "She is also at an age, and as the daughter of a nobleman, she has to bear the responsibilities of the family at a certain age. Your daughter or son will definitely accept such a request when she grows up, won't she? ”

Wang Maoru nodded slightly: "You are right, but if my daughter doesn't like it, I won't force her." ”

Laurentian said: "I'm afraid it's not necessarily. ”

At this time, three European reporters came over, and one of them said with glasses: "Honorable marshal, we are reporters from the British newspaper "The Times", and we came to China this time in the hope of interviewing Chinese politicians. ”

"It's better not to have too many problems, because I'm not the protagonist of this party."

"We only have a few questions, short interviews." The bespectacled reporter said, "My name is Albert. Rosenberg. ”

"Jews?"

"You know European culture...... Oh, sorry, it's us who don't know you. Rosenberg said.

Wang Maoru nodded and said, "Give you fifteen minutes, now, let's talk in a quieter place." ”

Everyone sat in a corner of the restaurant of the Deutsche World Hotel, far from the noise, and Wang Maoru was surrounded by three reporters, as well as his guard captain Wu Resong, adjutant Gao Kang, and secretary Gao Shibin. Two other guards stood a little farther away, politely blocking those who came to disturb them. Another Times reporter jokingly said, "It seems that your security is important." ”

"Yes, it's very important for my family." Wang Maoru said with a smile.

"I heard that you have many wives, are you like the queens and princesses of the ancient East? Don't you think it's unfair to women? ”

"Isn't it fair? The responsibility of women and men is to perpetuate human beings, but the forms of marriage that reproduce human beings in the East and the West are different. But ......," Wang Maoru asked with a smile, "If it weren't for God's requirement in the Bible that a man can only win one woman as his wife, would most European men want to have more women?" ”

Rosenberg laughed, "You're such a witty person, yes, I think as long as it's a male creature, you want to have more mating rights." He asked again: "Your Excellency, the Sino-Soviet war in Central Asia lasted only one month, but it caused as many as 300,000 casualties, does it mean that there will be a new pattern of wars in the future, and weapons of destruction on a larger scale and more direct tools of killing will appear?" ”

Wang Maoru was stunned for a moment, in the end, it was the person from the "Times", and the question asked was very surprising, he smiled and said: "The development of human science and technology will produce more and larger-scale weapons of destruction, your conjecture is correct." ”

"Is it true that China already has such a series of weapons, can you tell us about it?"

"Cannon, super cannon." Wang Maoru said with a smile, "There are also bombers, a huge number of bombers." ”

Rosenberg asked: "According to the information we have received, this battle, with more than 300,000 casualties, has been characterized as a border conflict between your country and Soviet Russia, but this is simply a large-scale war, are the soldiers of your country satisfied with this characterization?" ”

Wang Maoru asked rhetorically: "What do you think is the significance of the army's existence?" ”

"Defend the country."

Wang Maoru smiled: "Yes." The meaning of the army's existence is to defend the country, and when the country needs them, they inflict heavy losses on the invaders, they sacrifice, and they become national heroes. That's enough, the Chinese will remember them, and Chinese history will have them. They will not complain, because the Chinese military is the most loyal to the country in the world. ”

"Can you tell us about the agreement on the settlement of the conflict between China and Soviet Russia?" "Now that the world is waiting for this agreement to be announced, we are very keen to see how the Chinese and Russian governments have restored peace between the two sides." People all over the world love peace, and we hope that the peace between China and Soviet Russia is not an armistice. ”

Wang Maoru laughed and said: "In two days, the promotion ceremony of the ranks of the National Defense Forces will be held in the newly completed First Conference Hall of the Ministry of National Defense, and it will be announced at that time. ”

Rosenberg asked again: "We have just learned that China is about to hold a marshal promotion ceremony, can the list of marshals be revealed?" ”

Wang Maoru glanced at his hands and said, "I'm sorry, the marshal's promotion was evaluated by the evaluation team, and I only participated in it at the beginning. ”

Gao Gao reminded: "Xiushuai, the time is up." ”

Rosenberg hurriedly asked: "Your Excellency General, as the marshal of such a huge territory and the most populous country in the world, how do you want to develop your country's army, whether it is towards armed expansion or peace?" ”

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "This is my last question to answer you, China loves peace, China under my leadership hopes to become the Switzerland of Asia, we do not invade others, nor do we want others to invade us." ”

Rosenberg wanted to continue the interview, but Wang Maoru said that it was time to hand over the time to Miss Hephine, and Rosenberg felt sorry and said that he hoped that he would have the opportunity to interview Wang Maoru next time, and Wang Maoru also said that he hoped that everyone would sit down and talk about the country, the nation, the future and mankind.

After the greetings, Wang Maoru returned to the banquet hall, Hemphina walked straight under the attention of everyone, she stretched out her hand, and asked in a delicate voice, "Can I dance a song?" Your Excellency the Officer. ”

"Tonight is yours, miss." Wang Maoru said politely, took her hand, and danced a waltz "Gavotte" with her, and in the joyful dance music, Helenie whispered: "Hmph, Otto, you guy, are you lying to me?" ”

"What?"

"Why didn't you come that night?"

"This ...... Work matters. ”

Helenie said, "As a guest, stay here tonight." ”

"Isn't that okay?" Wang Maoru hesitated, "Your father ......"

Helenie whispered, "I'm leaving tomorrow, he won't care about me tonight, don't worry." (To be continued......)
