Chapter 436: The Wedding
On the outskirts of Beijing, since the Kuomintang government chose the presidential palace and the headquarters of various departments here, this is no longer the scene of the past, and there are many new buildings. However, among the many new buildings, one of them looks a little...
Alone? Deserted? Or...
Anyway, there is almost no second building around this ordinary building, and even the closest one is more than a kilometer away from it, which also makes this predominantly gray building show a cold attitude that no one should enter...
The Special Affairs Bureau, known as the most gloomy of the many departments of the national government, is hardly visited by people from any department other than the department's own people, even now.
In the eyes of the outside world, this cold department is a place comparable to hell, there must be many terrifying punishments in it, and those people in the special affairs bureau are even more happy to torture others.
Cough...
I don't know who spread the rumors, the cell and the torture equipment, as an espionage organization, there must be something in it, but ordinary torture activities rarely happen in the headquarters, this kind of thing is more of a kind of existence, that is to say, I have this thing here, as for when to use itββββββ maybe it may not be used once in a year, at least in the more than half a year that the Nationalist government moved into Beijing, the torture equipment in it has never been used once.
It's not surprising, after all, the headquarters is not used to do this kind of thing, and this kind of thing can be done anywhere, so why do you have to be in the headquarters.
And as an espionage organization. In fact, the headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau is also relatively ordinary, not much different from ordinary government departmentsββββββ except for the strict level of secrecy, there is no pervert who takes pleasure in torturing others. Because this kind of person can't get into the special bureau at all.
It was as if now, like most places in China at this time, was full of joy. Even compared to ordinary people, their joy is even stronger, because today is their day of great joy.
Because of this incident, many people in the bureau are lazy.
But just when most of the people in the bureau seemed a little lazy, the communications office was there. The director of the communications office suddenly rushed out of the communications office with something.
At this time, the people in the bureau were either busy sorting out the materials in the office, or they were sitting there chatting, and they were taken aback when they saw the correspondent.
"What's wrong?"
"Is there a big deal?"
Meanwhile. In his own office, Luo Wenying stood up from her seat, and the expression on her face became very serious, and not long ago. He had just hung up the phone from the communications office.
Yan Shao's wedding. As the director of the bureau, Caterina is one of the protagonists again, most of the high-level officials in the Special Affairs Bureau have gone to the presidential palace, and only Luo Wenying and a few people are responsible for staying behind, so as not to have anyone in the bureau who can manage things when something happens.
Although this is the case, in fact, neither Luo Wenying nor anyone else thinks that there will be any major events in the near future. Japan? Japan's power in Tohoku and elsewhere is under the watchful eye of the Special Bureau. And some things can be hidden, and some things are difficult to hide. For example, military transfers. If the Japanese really intended to make a move, there would certainly be movement in the troops in the northeast or elsewhere, and with these movements, the Nationalist government would be prepared before they could move.
Russian?
The situation of the Russians is even more troublesome than that of the Japanese, after all, Japan has a large number of troops stationed in Northeast China and Korea, and although these troops are under the supervision of the Special Affairs Bureau, no one can guarantee that they will really not be able to hide from the eyes of the Special Affairs Bureau.
But what about Russia?
The Far East is 108,000 miles away from the Ural Mountains, and the Russians have only so many garrisons in the Far East. If they really have any movement, the Trans-Siberian Railway is so long, and the Special Affairs Bureau really doesn't notice anything, then they might as well poke themselves in the eyes and just pick out the two dogs' eyes, anyway, even if they continue to keep it, it won't be of much use.
In addition to the Japanese and Russians, the only countries that could pose a threat to China at this time were the United States, Britain, France, and Germany.
The problem is that the relationship between the Nationalist government and Britain, France and Germany has always been good, and of course, if it is only like this, it is not reassuring. However, the situation in Europe is also very tense at the moment, and although there is no possibility of a war for the time being, it is too exaggerated to say that people from these three countries will send troops to China.
The United States, the United States is not impossible, but even if it really wants to do it, it will be to start a war with the Japanese first, and what is going on with China?
As for domestic? In the past half a year, those warlords in the country have been cleaned up and submissive, not to mention whether they can be called warlords is difficult to say. Even if something does happen, it's far from a big deal...
Thinking about it...
"Why don't you just find someone to come up and play a game of chess..."
Thinking so in her heart, Luo Wenying's hand had already reached out to the phone, planning to call someone she knew to come up and kill two setsββββββ anyway, it was idle to be idle, so it was better to find something to do.
It's just that just when his hand touched the phone and was about to pick it up, the phone suddenly rang.
In the past few years, although Luo Wenying has seen a lot of things, this time it still makes his heart skip a beat, after all, the timing is too coincidental. However, he quickly picked up the phone and whispered to his ear.
After a few breaths, Luo Wenying's originally normal face had become very serious.
"Come up with something right away..."
ββββββββββββββββββββ
It didn't take long for the director of the communications office to rush to the door of Luo Wenying's office with the information.
"Deputy Director, this is the information that has just been sent back from Europe." Wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hand, Director Mei of the Communications Office handed the telegram in his hand to Luo Wenying.
He took the telegram from Director May. Luo Wenying looked through it, and after finding that it was indeed as Director Mei said on the phone, she couldn't help but scold. ". Why did you choose this time..."
The content on the telegram is the Sarajevo incident that happened not long ago.
In the event of the incident, the hapless couple ended up on their knees, just as they did in history.
At present, this matter has just begun, so there are not many people who know about this matter at present, and even the Japanese side may not know about itββββββ their intelligence focus is on East Asia, not Europe.
In fact, if it weren't for the recent period, the Special Affairs Bureau would have also deployed some personnel in Sarajevo at Yan Shao's request. I'm afraid I don't know how long it will take for Lu Dao to get this news.
With a telegram in hand, Luo Wenying circled back and forth in the office twice.
As the former captain of the special affairs department, Luo Wenying is now the same as Tang Li. They are all deputy directors of the bureau. As the deputy director of the Special Affairs Bureau, he is qualified to read most of the information in the bureau, so he naturally knows very well what the current situation in Europe is.
For the radical Bosnian youth, this may just be a shot in their rage. But for the two camps of the Entente and the Allied Powers, which have been preparing for a long time, and even for the entire world. This is a shot that shook the world...
"With this shot, I'm afraid the war will be inevitable..."Thinking of this, Luo Wenying didn't know whether he was more nervous or excited in his heart at this moment, in addition to being shocked, but he knew very well that although he was the deputy director of the Special Affairs Bureau, it was not his turn to call the shots for such a big matter, so after thinking about it. He said to Director Mei. "You and I, go to the presidential palace immediately. Inform the President of this..."
"Yes!"
ββββββββββββββββββββ
At this time, although China had established diplomatic relations with Austria-Hungary, this kind of thing was definitely not something that the legation could learn about for a while. In addition, there is only one intelligence agency in China at the moment, such a special affairs bureau, so only Luo Wenying and the director of the communications department know about such a big matter in China for a while.
However, they also knew how big the matter was, so when they learned about it, they immediately took a car to the presidential palace.
At the same time, although the guests sitting in the banquet hall were either military and political dignitaries, celebrities, or consuls of various countries, no one knew about the Sarajevo incident, and even Yan Shao himself only vaguely guessed something, but he was not sure that this incident really did not happen.
After all, the so-called fate is never predictable.
Sometimes you've calculated everything, but you'll still have an accident because of a little deviation. From the time traveled to the present, Yan Shao has changed many things in the Dao, so he is not sure that Ferdinand and his wife will really die in the assassination.
And since it was impossible to determine, Yan Shao also let go of everything in his heart and devoted himself wholeheartedly to this wedding. Anyway, even if he is nervous in his heart, it is useless, so it is better to enjoy his wedding, and by the way, enjoy the funny expressions of the guests in the audience...
China has always been known for its food, and although the whole country has a kind of ideology that advocates honesty and frugality, Yan Shao has never been a person who likes to treat himself badly. What's more, with his net worth, he doesn't have to make himself look like he is frugal for some face-saving reasons.
In addition, it is his big day now, so almost all of the banquet can be said to be some delicacies of the mountains and seasββββββ at this time there is no animal protection law, and there is no need to worry about what animal protection lovers will run out, so some of the delicacies of the mountains and seas that have basically been seen in later generations can be seen everywhere on the table, in fact, there are still more wild animals in China at this time, and it is not like it has basically been driven out after a few decades...
However, at this time, except for a very few people, most people's eyes did not focus on the delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of them, but constantly looked around the huge space around them, and in the banquet hall, the exclamations could be seen almost everywhere, and they were never interrupted.
As the chairman, looking at this huge space that should hardly appear in the world, Zhu Erdian's psychology was also full of shock.
As the British Minister to China, Zhu Erdian is naturally qualified to sit in the chairman's ββββββ of course, this is also because of a very important reason, that is, Yan Shao and Elaline have almost no relatives and friends.
Needless to say, Yan Shao said. It would be really strange if there were any relatives and friends who had crossed over. Although Caterina is not traversing, she has been alone in the past ten years by Yan Shao's side. I've never heard her talk about her relatives, well, then let's assume she has no relatives.
Lu Ying's words, her rotten gambler father had already been sunk in the river, so naturally there was no need to say anything more. Although the rest can still have some relatives, they are all distant relatives who can't be far away, and Lu Ying doesn't remember these people at all. It's hard to say whether these people still remember Lu Ying.
Of the four people, the only one with relatives is probably Elaine, but considering that her hometown is in France. The traffic in this era was particularly inconvenient, and only Bertrand was able to come to the wedding.
So, a very surprising scene appeared, and that was on the chairman. There is only one person in the newlyweds. The rest are almost all friends, and they are also high-level members of the national government, and these people are sitting with Zhu Erdian, which can be said to be a very good match...
"General, now I really believe that this building costs the money of two dreadnoughts...", raising the cup in his hand, temporarily putting aside the amazement in his heart, Juerdian smiled at Bertrand.
"Yes..."Bertrand was also shocked, after all, such a huge space had never appeared on Earth at this time.
However, after seeing Yan Shao so attentive to the wedding. Bertrand's heart was somewhat relieved.
There are very few fathers who do not care about their children. In the past, he has always been concerned about whether his daughter can be happy. But now it seems...
"Her vision is indeed better than mine, and she is better than her mother..."Thinking of his deceased wife, Bertran's heart suddenly felt a little sad.
In the years since Elaine's mother's death, it would be impossible to say that he had never touched a woman. But in his heart, what he misses most is still his deceased wife, who has never changed over the years.
And what he regrets the most at the moment is that his wife couldn't witness the day when his daughter wore her wedding dress with him...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
"How? Interesting, right? β
Standing on the stage, looking at the expressions of those people below who were still full of amazement, Yan Shao said with a smile.
Standing beside Yan Shao, after hearing his words, Elanon, Caterina and the others also showed a smile on their faces, and at the same time, there was a little satisfaction in their eyes.
As Yan Shao once promised, he will give them a grand wedding that everyone will remember, as compensation for many years.
For now, the grandeur of the wedding is aside, but at least those who come to the wedding will definitely remember it ββββββ and never forget it.
In this regard, Yan Shao did not break his promise.
Just when Yan Shao and Elano had some smiles on their faces, someone next to them walked up and reminded Yan Shao that their time was up.
After being reminded, Yan Shao suddenly woke up from the excitement. At the same time, he also reflected one thing, that is, today he is the one who makes people watch the excitement, not the one who watches the excitement.
At the same time, when they looked at Yan Shao, the faces of Elaline and the others also showed anticipation.
At this time, the original noise below has gradually disappeared, and they have been reminded that the next step is the highlight of the day, that is, the ritual between the four newcomers. So after a while, the huge space was no longer audible.
"Then..."After taking the three small boxes with rings, Yan Shao walked in front of the three of them. Now, it's time for the most important project of the day..."
When he said this, looking at the three people wearing wedding dresses, I don't know why, Yan Shao's heart suddenly felt a little nervous.
At this time, he was not the only one who was nervous, and Elano and Caterina also began to be nervous.
Yan Shao and Elaline are both atheists, and although Lu Ying believes in gods and Buddhas, she doesn't believe in God, so today's wedding is a combination of Chinese and Western. There are wedding dresses, rings, but there is no priest chirping crookedly next to himββββββ in Yan Shao's opinion, this is actually a good thing, after all, there is a man and three women, what do you say about the priest next to him? You can't ask them one by one, can you?
And this wedding of Chinese and Western styles, there is no need for Yan Shao to go down and light cigarettes one by oneββββββ and then collect red envelopes...
Having said that, even if it's a wedding, I'm afraid few people dare to let Yan Shao light a cigarette.
As for red envelopes or something? Unless each red envelope contains a million pounds, Yan Shao really can't look at it...
Taking out the ring that had been prepared for a long time and was almost priceless from the box, Yan Shao put it on for the three people in turn, and then kissed the three people on the cheeks respectively.
And feeling the weight on their fingers, the hearts of the three Elaline were also full of satisfaction.
Looking at the four newcomers hugging each other on the stage, his heart was full of emotion, but Bertrand still clapped his palms and silently blessed his daughter in his heart. At the same time, the voices of blessings from the audience also kept appearing, and at this time, even the most hostile to Yan Shao did not speak out to slanderββββββ of course, not daring is also a reason.
And looking at the three Elaline in wedding dresses on the stage, I don't know how many female guests in the audience are deeply jealous.
Women are inherently jealous creatures, and how can they not be jealous of the place where they get married and everything else they desire but can't reach?
However, no matter what, today's protagonists are Yan Shao and them after all, and all eyes will be on them todayββββββ if nothing unexpected happens. (To be continued......)
