Two days later, Robles suddenly ran over to Situ Nan and said, "Did you hear that?" Archduke Ferdinand, the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was killed in Serbia! Now war may be coming! Robles looked excited. (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wèn Aishang Novel Network)

Situ Nan looked back at the calendar, June 29, 1914, it should be this time, the United States and Europe are separated by a few time differences, history has not been changed, it is all developing according to the original trajectory, Situ Nan finally put his mind at ease.

"Calm down, things haven't come to that point yet, let's take a closer look!" Situ Nan calmed Robles, who was overly excited, and he didn't know that Robles was so worried about his adventure, but he rarely said it. Now that Europe has finally stirred up such a large spark, the powder keg of war could detonate at any moment, how could Robles not be excited!

"Lao He, call the car to prepare, and follow me to the dock to pick up people later!" Situ Nan left the excited Robles and said to He Wenxiu.

"Hmm." He Wenxiu didn't talk nonsense, turned around and went out, he always did this.

"What, are you going to pick up someone at the docks?" Robles asked.

"Hmm. My cousin and nephew. Situ Nan's voice trembled.

In the afternoon, in the harbor of New York, a young man stepped out of a car and looked at the tall Statue of Liberty in front of him.

"It's been two years, and I'm back." Situ Nan still remembers how wolf-bled he was when he first came here, with hesitation, with a blankness, with the disaster that he had just experienced life and death.

"This qiē is over, and it will be fine." Situ Nan muttered.

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers, "America! The ship's passengers cheered as they looked at the Statue of Liberty and slowly sailed into the harbor.

Situ Nan stood at the passenger exit, excitedly holding up the words "Cousin Mary and nephew Tom, wait, wait, wait, but I can't see anyone, and I feel a little anxious.

"Lao He, pay attention, a woman with a child." Situ Nan said.

“excuseme!areyoustonywillian?” (Hello, are you Stoney William?) Just when Situ Nan was in a hurry, a woman in a white dress and a lady's hat walked up to Situ Nan's side, holding a little boy of three or four years old in her hand!

"Mary Mu?" Situ Nan asked subconsciously.

"Yes. I'm Mary and this is my son Tom. Mary said with a smile.

Situ Nan looked at this woman at this time, she turned out to be very similar to Audrey Hepburn, but unlike the delicate Audrey Hepburn in the movie, Mary in front of her looked more mature and plump.

"Thank goodness for finally meeting you guys." Situ Nan said excitedly, "Come, little Tom, let's go back by car!" Situ Nan stretched out his hand to take little Tom, but the little boy who was afraid of life hid in Mary's arms.

"Tom is a little scared! Tom, this is Cousin Stoney William, don't be afraid! Uncle has been sending us money, and he also gave us the toys you received last time, remember? Mary coaxed little Tom gently, and her gentle smile was particularly maternal.

"Come on, uncle, little Tom!" Perhaps his mother's comfort had an effect, and little Tom finally let Situ Nan hug him, and he hid quietly in Situ Nan's arms, looking a little shy.

Mary didn't have much luggage, and He Wenxiu moved it to the trunk at once. Looking at Little Tom's weak clothes in his arms, Situ Nan thought to himself that he had been such an introverted child since he was a child, and it was probably related to the absence of a father!

When Mu died, he should have been less than two years old! No wonder Mu wants to entrust himself to take care of the two of them! It's not easy for a woman to be alone with a child!

As if she had a sense in her heart, Mary suddenly turned her head, looked at Situ Nan and the child in his arms, and smiled sweetly, her big watery eyes were like blue water, which could tolerate a wind and waves.

The three of them sat in the back seat and were a little crowded, and Situ Nan saw that Mary's white neck was a little flushed, which was very good-looking.

"Drop!" The car stopped in front of the door of the New York Hotel, and Mali's waiter hurriedly stepped forward to open the door.

"Let's go, we're here. Uncle will take you to a big dinner later, okay? Situ Nan kissed little Tom, making him giggle.

"Move these to 601's suite." As soon as He Wenxiu got out of the car, he casually gave the waiter a tip. This is a habit that Situ Nan has pressed hard, and after trying it a few times, he has also adapted to this habit.

"Mom, this room is so big, so beautiful!" A child is a child, and as soon as you enter the door, you are attracted by the luxury of the hotel.

Mary was also surprised to enter such a luxurious room, although her home in England was not bad, but it was the first time she lived in such a luxurious room, so she hesitated a little and said, "Wouldn't it be too extravagant?" ”

"Don't worry! Not at all! I just happened to have an investment to live here for a while, and it's almost done now. You'll stay here for a few days now, and then we'll go to Los Angeles together. Situ Nan said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Although Mary knew that this Mu's cousin had made a fortune in the United States, she didn't expect him to be rich! Stoney had been sending money to England before, and with Mu's pension, Mary's family was doing well in England.

She had also heard about Situ Nan from Wallace, but it was not quite the same as what Mu had said before, Mu once said that he couldn't get used to seeing this cousin doing nothing on the streets all day long, so he took this cousin to run a boat. After the bad news came from the Titanic, Mary was heartbroken, but for the sake of little Tom, she had to raise him well.

For Situ Nan's cousin, Mary has never met, only knows that he has sent tens of thousands of pounds over intermittently in the past two days, and now it seems that this cousin, whom she has never met before, is living much better than she imagined! I really don't understand how he did it in just two years? If Wallace hadn't persuaded himself that Europe was about to go to war, he might have stayed in England forever! Mary sighed inwardly.

"Mu is very good to me, without Mu there would be no me! He saved me. In the end, he told me to take good care of you, but I have been busy for the past two years, and I have no time to go to England, and now I am okay, and I will take good care of you in the future when you come over. I will let Tom receive the best education and grow up healthy and happy! ”

Situ Nan said to Mary, and also to himself.

Mary didn't say anything, but her moving eyes showed gratitude.

In the evening, I really wanted to eat a big meal as Situ Nan said, fresh pine cones, crispy lamb chops, fresh lobster, French foie gras, caviar, etc., Situ Nan deliberately ordered a lot of dishes, which made Little Tom scream excitedly, making Mary on the side a little embarrassed.

At dinner, Robles came over, and there were many Robles who could eat, as well as He Wenxiu, and Situ Nan, three men, otherwise relying on Mary and Tom, there would really be a lot of dishes left on this table.

During the dinner, Robles told Stuart that Europe was almost in chaos during this time, and the countries of the two camps issued some warnings or resolutions from time to time. In the past few days, the stock markets on Wall Street and London have been in turmoil, and the stocks of some arms companies have made a lot of money. Finally, the good news is that oil prices have risen quite a bit! Occidental Petroleum began to produce at full capacity.

Since Europe does not produce oil, most of the oil is produced by their colonies and imported by the United States, so once a war breaks out, the American oil companies will not hesitate to expand their production capacity, expand, expand, no one knows that this war will be protracted, there has never been such a tragic war in human history, and industrial powers like Britain and France will face the embarrassing situation of material shortage.

Mary listened to the conversation between Robles and Stuart, and was a little glad that she had left Britain before the war, although there was a Royal Navy, and the possibility of war on British soil was very small, but war always caused panic among civilians. At the same time, Mary was a little surprised, the energy of people who can discuss these topics should be not small, and Mary has a deeper understanding of the impression of Situ Nan's cousin.

With a meal of food and some toys, Situ Nan lightly "bought" Little Tom's heart, and now this child has a lot of relationship with Situ Nan, and even a little clingy! But when Mary came over, little Tom consciously walked away and didn't disturb Situ Nan's work.

The situation in Europe has attracted the attention of the whole world, and the long-awaited American businessmen across the sea have finally happened. On July 28, 1914, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. On July 30, Russia mobilized troops to aid Serbia. On 1 August, Germany declared war on Russia, followed by 3 August on France. On 4 August, Germany invaded neutral Belgium and Britain declared war on Germany. On August 6, Austria-Hungary declared war on Russia, and on the 12th, Britain declared war on Austria-Hungary. Thus began the First World War in the history of mankind. The war spread from Europe to Asia and Africa, and 33 countries were involved. Among them is the country of now-jubilant American nouveau riche businessmen.

After staying in the hotel for almost three months in a row, even the accommodation fee is tens of thousands of dollars, if it weren't for a nouveau riche like Situ Nan, it would be really stressful.

When he heard the news of the start of the war, Robles rushed into Situ Nan's room, pulled Situ Nan, who was sleeping at the time, up from the bed and shouted excitedly: "Hit, really hit!" Stoney, we're rich, we're really rich! ”

It took a while for Situ Nan, who was sleeping in a daze, to remember what Robles was talking about.

"Oh! That's great! Hold his mother! Excitedly, Situ Nan suddenly burst out with a national curse, but unfortunately Robles was not clear for a while, but he must not be reading in English.

"Robles, you're such a bitch, best bitch, bring me great news!" Situ grabbed Robles' shoulder and said incoherently, but Robles punched him in the shoulder. During this time, although Situ Nan looked calm and confident on the surface, he was under tremendous pressure in his heart. Now I can finally vent it.

"Come on! The damned war is finally here, Europeans cry Mom, let Lao Tzu earn all your money! The excited Situ Nan shouted a little with all his might.

"Damn Stoney, you're spewing shit in your mouth? However, that's the most fragrant shit! Robles was also infected by Situ Nan's madness, and the two big men shouted with joy like little children.

Situ Nan has no intention of sleeping anymore! and Robles toasted in the living room.

When they made such a fuss, not only did they not have to sleep, but even Mary was woken up. She walked out of the room sleepily and saw two men drinking happily and talking excitedly!

"Stoney, what's wrong?" Mary asked.

"Oh, nothing. Robles had just made a big deal, so happy. Situ Nan replied that war was a good thing for them, but it was a disaster for most of them, and he didn't want her Mary to know about it, lest she be in a bad mood.

"Go back to sleep! We guarantee quiet! Situ Nan said in a hoarse voice.

When Mary came out, the top of her pajamas was loosened, revealing a large white breast, bulging, unfathomable, holding up the clothes in front of her, and the slender thighs, a good English rose!

Situ Nan, who had drunk a lot of wine, was a little nervous, he looked at it for a while, and his body actually reacted!

Perhaps awakened by Situ Nan's hot eyes, Mary panicked for a moment, blushed, and then sneered, and ran into the room a little shyly.

The door closed with a "bang", which also blocked Situ Nan's vision.

Looking back at Robles, he was already very undignified on the sofa, the bottle in his hand fell to the ground, and a lot of alcohol poured out.
