As soon as Charlotte's words fell, Xiaolu picked up the book she pointed to, flipped through it casually a few times, and then pouted: "As far as the beginning I saw is concerned, it's boring." You should ask Isabella for tips on how to write a book. ”

"I'm writing a serious memoir, which is different from Isabella's kind of guy who uses her own experiences to rewrite novels." "However, I must admit that it is not appropriate to write a memoir as a political one...... Well, if you have the chance, Isabella might as well ask for advice. ”

"Do you want to just move to Sanssouci Palace?" As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, he was glared at by Viola.

Charlotte said in a joking tone, "Even if it's a god, I'm past the age of safe childbirth, and I may not be able to let you get my wish, Mr. Lin Youde." ”

Lin Youde laughed and said, "Where do you want to go, I have long passed the age of energy." I just think that if you stay here alone, you might be lonely, and if you come to Sanssouci Palace, there will be a group of old ladies who can talk to you. ”

"Hey," Viola nudged Lin Youde's shoulder, "at least Lydia hasn't gotten to the point of being called an old lady, and Isabella can't see any signs of old yet, okay?" By the way, and Angelita, if she weren't so resistant to makeup, she would be very young with a little drawing! ”

"I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Lin Youde hurriedly apologized.

Charlotte laughed happily, and after holding back her smile, Charlotte said in a voice full of emotion: "Seeing the two of you interacting like this, I began to feel that it was too stupid to completely abandon the love of children and devote myself to politics back then, and now such a person lives in a wooden house, and I am paying for the stupidity of the year." ”

Lin Youde looked at Charlotte's face, waited for a while, and after making sure that her emotion had been finished, he asked softly, "What about Marshall, who has been glued to you all day?" ”

"I passed away last year, and I was fine, but I was suddenly diagnosed with cancer, and when ordinary people get old, their bodies are really fragile."

"That's right. Sorry. ”

"It's nothing, I've always known why Marshall never married, but I've never felt in love with Marshall, so I pretended not to know. After he left suddenly, I didn't have any heart-rending pain, I just thought, ah, another old friend left, I knew that I would drink more with him and catch up with the old days. I guess that feeling is a pity. Sorry for the departure of an old friend, that's it. ”

Lin Youde took another sip of borscht, and he didn't understand what Charlotte said.

"Just like I felt when Churchill left. While he was still alive, I should have invited him to live at Sanssouci for a while. ”

"Winston won't promise you." Charlotte said with great certainty, "Speaking of which, after Winston left, the few people who stirred up the world back then were left with you and me." ”

Lin Youde thought about it for a while, it was true, Iron Ji had already left, Winston Churchill had also left, and among the people who instigated thousands of troops to fight in Europe and North Africa, he Lin Youde and Charlotte in front of him were left.

Then Lin Youde suddenly had a very wonderful feeling, so he said, "Why don't we do a wargame deduction?" Recreate the feeling of our struggle for supremacy? ”

"Forget it, there are so many things here that can be used for wargame deduction, I don't even have a map of the world. Ah, by the way, there are other things that can be replaced. Charlotte stood up, walked briskly out of the kitchen, climbed the stairs to the second-floor study, rummaged through it, and pulled out a box.

"Isn't that a game I designed?" Lin Youde was happy when he saw the box, "I remember that the name I gave it was Peak Duel at that time?" ”

"Yes, it's such a name, it's really a tasteless name." Charlotte complained as she opened the box and unfolded the map that was transformed from the map of the current world, and took out all the cards and chess pieces and put them on the table, "Since you are the designer, you should remember the rules, let's play." ”

Viola couldn't help but say, "What are you thinking, the two people who led World War II are playing a board game that simulates World War II on the kitchen table?" ”

"Don't you think it's a perfect scene for the ending of a novel?" Lin Youde asked half-jokingly, skillfully shuffling the event cards of the game as he spoke.

"I wish we hadn't really led that terrible war, and it would have been much better to play the game, at least not so many people would have died." Charlotte said and sighed, "Back then, when we made a casual decision, thousands of lives would be lost, and countless fortunes would be turned into ashes, but now that I think about it, I really have a strong heart to be able to make decisions without hesitation." ”

Lin Youde also smiled, and suddenly he thought of a question, so he asked: "Speaking of which, why didn't you land in North Africa again at that time, when I was in Lunis, I was especially worried that you would force your way across the strait and land behind me." ”

"I did think about doing this, but the generals were afraid that the expensive warships would be destroyed by the invincible Luftwaffe, and the air force must seize air supremacy in the strait first, and the air force thinks that its airfields are not enough and not close enough to the strait, so the army must drive you out of front first to ensure more airfields, and the army thinks that if they want to kill you, they can only land behind you......"

Charlotte said with her hands outstretched: "Really, I want to learn from you to personally command the battle, but I am not like you, I don't have such strong military ability, I can only listen to the generals' suggestions and choose the best plan from them." At this point, Winston has an advantage over me, at least he has been in the army. ”

"Churchill," Lin Youde glanced at Viola and shook his head slightly, "He may have some military qualities, but the construction he proposed made my family Isabella miserable." Attacking northern Germany or something......"

"At that time, no one thought that airplanes would be so useful. Even our country, which has always tried to counteract the disadvantage of the god with guò aircraft, did not expect that the aircraft could threaten the fleet so completely. ”

"When Yingzhou raided Oahu, your air attack completely failed." Lin Youde shrugged his shoulders, "Fortunately, the people of Yingzhou didn't succeed." ”

"In fact, even if the Yingzhou people rush to Oahu, there is nothing they can do. It was a fortress that our army had been operating in the Pacific Ocean for many years. Charlotte was still a little proud when she said this, probably because the idea of the Oahu fortress was her uncle Theodore? With Roosevelt's full support, he was able to start smoothly. In the decades since, the United States has been strengthening Oahu's defenses, and capturing Oahu is an almost impossible task unless it is directly attacked by Shenji.

"Speaking of which, in my game, Hawaii is also set up to be a particularly difficult place to conquer, and unless you trigger a special event card, you almost don't want to take it."

"yes, I found out about it, and I had the feeling of 'ah, this game is really from someone who really fought with me about the world.'"

Charlotte laughed as she spoke. Lin Youde stared at the smile and was silent for a long time before he said softly, "I've never seen you smile like this before, Miss Charlotte." ”

"Maybe." Charlotte lowered her hand slightly, and the expression on her face became gentle, "I sometimes think that if you were here to study in the United States, I might have lived a completely different life." ”

"Even if he went to the United States to study, he wouldn't necessarily meet you," Viola interrupted angrily, "He was so poor at the time, even if he came to the United States, he could only go to a public university, Miss Charlotte, you graduated from a private university with expensive tuition, right?" ”

"yes, and I'm not a landlord of a cheap house." Charlotte raised her eyebrows, dragging her cheek with one hand and looking at Viola, the smile on her face was obviously ill-intentioned, "Because I have been the eldest lady of a rich and powerful family from the beginning." ”

"I, I am also the spiritual leader of the revolutionary army, and I am loved by everyone! And there's a lot of money or something! ”

Lin Youde gently knocked Viola's head: "Don't ignite a strange fighting spirit in this kind of place, it's not too big." ”

After speaking, Lin Youde threw out an event card, and then moved the chess pieces on the map.

"Wait, I remember the effect of that card...... Yes, that's true, and then match the current situation......" Charlotte muttered as she looked at the game situation on the table, and then she complained loudly, "It's a loophole in the rules, and you can cheat!" ”

"Using the rules is part of the game, don't play if you're not happy." Lin Youde laughed and said, "Who told you to tease my wife, of course I, as a husband, have to give my wife a head, right?" ”

"Hmph, it's obviously a rotten person who pushed his wife to the front line during the war."

"We all volunteered to go to the front, you are not allowed to say that about him!" Viola patted the table gently.

"Charlotte is just joking, you calm down, you look like an old man." Lin Youde pressed Viola back into position again.

Charlotte threw the event card in her hand: "Do it all over again, I didn't expect there to be this way of using the rules, it's too cunning, I won't let you use this hand again in the next game." ”

"Do you want to try Germany for the next game?" Lin Youde said, "Maybe you'll get a different kind of fun." ”

"Okay, give it a try." Charlotte gladly accepted.

So the game continued in Viola's complaining and being teased, and time passed minute by minute.

In the living room, Xiaolu hugged Alulu and looked at the three people who were very engaged in the kitchen.

Alulu whispered to Xiaolu, "Sister, I always feel that there is a force field around Dad, that we can't intervene in." ”

"Well, that's right, Alulu is so smart." Xiaolu said and rubbed Alulu's face, "Dad, they are using this way to reminisce about their youth." ”

"What is youth?"

"I don't know, maybe when we reach Dad's age, we will understand the meaning of youth."

"Isn't that going to be a long time coming?" Alulu looked a little lost, "I'll never be able to catch up with my father." ”

"yes, never to catch up. But it doesn't matter, my sister will always be with Alulu. Xiaolu smiled and gently stroked Alulu's head.
