Episode 68 Brother-in-law's American girlfriend

Tent Procurement Plan.......

Daming's "Boiled Frog Project" suffered a setback in its first steps in the United States.

Xiang Xiaoqiang and several others sat silently at the radio, listening to several guests analyzing the reasons for the failure of the procurement, the possibility of pushing the US Senate and House of Representatives to vote to hand over the ruling power to the president, and the possible reaction of the American people.

"Change the channel!" He suddenly said, "Listen to Daqing Radio!" ”

Xiuxiu glanced at him, silently walked to the radio, and tuned the channel to the Daqing Radio band.

Beijing apparently had just heard the Jinling broadcast and learned of the verdict of the US federal court. At this moment, the announcer is reading the prepared script with a loud voice and triumphantly. Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that it was the Ming Dynasty that lost, and the Daqing Taiwan seized this big fuss and hyped it up in China, saying how the Ming Dynasty was about to fail, and how it was spurned in the world. Even the Yankees don't want to see them anymore...... For the first time, the people of the Northern Qing Dynasty learned that there was such a thing as Nanming going to the United States to procure. But if Daming wins, then tonight's program will be replaced by another set, and it won't even be mentioned, except for a very few people in the Northern Qing Dynasty who have short-wave radios, can hear Nanjing TV, and most people will never know that there is such a thing.

Sure enough, the announcer of the Northern Qing Dynasty said in high spirits:

“…… We see that Nanming's indecent temptation failed. Whose failure is this? This is the defeat of those clowns who jumped off the beam in Nanjing, and this is the defeat of the big arms dealers, oil tycoons, big bankers, and big warmongers in the United States! This is the defeat of all evil cliques in the world that pursue aggression and expansion, ultra-nationalism, war massacres, and autocracy, dictatorship, and dictatorship! …… Whose victory is this? There is no doubt that this is a victory for the Qing Empire! This is the victory of our beloved Emperor! This is the victory of my hundreds of millions of people! It is also a victory for all peace-loving people around the world! …… Our beloved and great emperor has long predicted Nanming's defeat this time. He said......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang listened for a while, and muttered to himself:

"Those clowns who jumped off the beam in Nanjing...... We're those clowns in Nanjing......"

Several people immediately persuaded:

"Adult ......"

"Adults don't have to be as knowledgeable as Qingyu......"

"It's just ......"

"Yo, my lord," Fourteen Gege laughed, "People poured dirty water on you, why didn't you quickly avoid it, why did you take the initiative to pick it up?" ”

Stomach ache and immediately laughed:

"Yes, my lord, Her Royal Highness the princess said yes......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang shook his head, smiled, and then said:

"...... 'evil group that pursues aggression and expansion, ultra-nationalism, war and slaughter, and dictatorship' is basically our old partner Germany. However, the guy who wrote the manuscript in the Qing court seemed to have forgotten that it was nothing to talk about Germany, but to bring little Japan into it...... 'pursuing aggression and expansion', especially 'ultra-nationalism', isn't this a living insinuation of their Japanese friends? Ha ha. As for the 'big arms dealers, oil tycoons, big bankers, and big warmongers in the United States,' it's okay to say they're 'insatiable,' or it's okay to say they're 'unscrupulous, shameless, and unsympathetic.'" But put them side by side with the Nazis, I don't think any American can stand it, haha. If I were Guangwu, I would have to beat this writer to death. It's cheap and good. ”

Then, he made a gesture. Xiuxiu immediately understood what he meant and switched the channel back to Jinling Radio.

The "chocolate case" verdict in the Pennsylvania state court began.

The anchor was reading the verdict of the state judge that had just been transmitted:

“…… There is no doubt that Hershey's product is a heat-resistant chocolate bar that has very different properties from regular chocolate. It has a much higher calorie and fat content than regular chocolate, and with the addition of special ingredients, it is tested to be 1.4 times more resistant to crushing and 3.2 times more resistant to melting. According to the testimony of Hershey's chief chemist, this is done to facilitate long-term intimate storage, without being too fragmented by the user's strenuous exercise and not melting due to prolonged intimate storage......

On the contrary, the taste of this chocolate is far inferior to that of regular chocolate, and after a random test of 50 people, 95% of the test participants said that they did not take a second bite**. According to the testimony of Hershey's chief chemist, these were the special requirements of the customer, the Daming Hsu Cheong Kee Trading Company...... According to the testimony of Colonel Paul Logan, Quartermaster of the U.S. Department of Defense, this special feature is to ensure that users will only consume it in cases of emergency, such as when other foods are cut off, and will not be consumed prematurely as candy in non-emergency situations......

"In the light of the foregoing, the Chamber decided to consider this to be a kind of military chocolate, after hearing the arguments of the prosecution and defence, as well as the testimony of witnesses from both sides. And it is believed that there will be no civilian commercial value except for the use of the army...... Therefore, the Tribunal found that this heat-resistant chocolate bar belonged to a type of military emergency ration and fell within the category of military equipment. ”

After the anchor finished reading, there was another moment of silence. There was silence in front of the radio.

After being quiet for a while, he suddenly sighed with a stomachache:

"Xu Changji's people are also yes, why should they be positioned as 'military chocolate'? Isn't it okay to directly import ordinary ones, now they have been clearly investigated by the courts, and they are put out in one, two, three, and four, so that we have nothing to say. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang hummed:

"If you import ordinary chocolate directly, what's the difference between it and importing Hollywood actress posters. 100% will not be counted as 'military equipment'. But does that make sense? ”

He was silent for a moment and scolded:

"Damn, listen to Daqingtai again, and see what kind of fart you have again!"

Xiuxiu said softly:

"Adult ......"

"Don't talk too much, do it!"

Xiuxiu didn't speak anymore and changed the stage obediently.

At this time, the announcer of Daqing Radio Station was almost excited, and said loudly:

"Tonight, it will be the sleepless night of those clowns who jump off the beam in Nanjing, we can imagine how they are thunderous, how annoyed and angry......"

……

"Damn!" Xiang Xiaoqiang was annoyed and ashamed, and walked out with his legs, shouting, "What about that kid Yonggui? I'm going to beat his out......"

Several people hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed him, dragged him back, and comforted:

"My lord, Yonggui is a negotiating messenger, we can't ......"

"Yes, my lord, besides, this manuscript was not written by him Yonggui......"

"Why do you want to be like them? That's what they want us to do......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang was pulled back by them and sat back on the chair.

He looked up to the sky and sighed, muttering:

"Alas...... There are no railways in northern Shaanxi...... There is no railway in Hanzhong...... There are no railways in Jiangsu...... Anhui and Henan have railways, but there is only one ...... We still have at least a few tens of thousands of military vehicles missing...... Now Lao Maozi is going to meddle again...... Another 100,000 military vehicles is not too much...... No, I have to go to His Majesty and ask her to make a speech, saying that after the reunification of China, all orders for the construction of the north will be given to American companies! …… Isn't it just a "Neutrality Law", change it for me! I don't believe that members of the U.S. Congress don't want to vote. ”

"Oops...... Adults......"

Several people persuaded him again, telling him not to get excited, saying that it is not up to a few of us to decide who the order will be given, and probably not by His Majesty...... It's up to the Cabinet to decide. Besides, it's not that simple. It's all given to the American company, what our own company eats. Moreover, now that it is getting late, His Majesty has already rested, so forget it.

……

The next morning, Shang Xiaojun called Xiang Xiaoqiang to help Xiuxiu ask for leave.

Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned, Xiuxiu hadn't told herself yet, Shang Xiaojun came to ask for leave for Xiuxiu first? I don't know what's going on?

Shang Xiaojun smiled:

"Hehe, it's good, don't say you don't know, even I just knew! You know what's going on, right? At noon today, Ziyu is going to bring his girlfriend to his house for lunch...... Hehe, I haven't seen that girl yet, and I want Xiuxiu to come back and see her...... How about it, it's not busy at noon, right? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was surprised, he didn't expect this to happen. He hurriedly laughed:

"Absolutely! When I went back, I arranged for a car to send Xiuxiu back...... It's just that it's negotiating, and I probably won't be able to get out of here......"

"Oh, then Xiuxiu won't make a mistake when she leaves, right?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled:

"It's okay, I'll ask Hu Jiong to help me. It's all a matter of grinding lips these days, and it's the same for anyone to do it. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang agreed with a smile, but he wondered a little in his heart, when did his brother-in-law have a girlfriend, why didn't he know?

Speaking of which, since Shang Xiaojun and Ye Ziyu also came to live in Nanjing, there have been no official eunuchs, rich families, wealthy families, and even aristocratic family trustees who have come to propose marriage, all of them want to marry their daughters to Ziyu. Everyone understands that Xiang Xiaoqiang is now in a high position, a hero who has made several great contributions to the country, a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and a close relationship with the highest level of the military circles, and this family has a bright future. Therefore, they all want to climb into marriage with Xiang Xiaoqiang.

Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't put much thought into it, it was all Shang Xiaojun, who was a mother, and Xiuxiu, who was a sister, was worried about at most. They are also quite picky, because just such a son and younger brother, this first family business, they want to choose more accurately. During this time, many people have also declined.

Now I didn't expect that Ziyu kid to have a girlfriend?

On the phone, Shang Xiaojun told him that this girl was Ziyu's classmate in the Army University, and her family had no foundation in Daming, but their family was very good in the United States. Her uncle is a U.S. senator representing the state of Michigan. My uncle and father were both major shareholders in Ford, and the board of directors had a meeting, so they could have a seat at the table.

Therefore, Shang Xiaojun thought about it for a while, and felt that the woman's family conditions were not bad, and now Da Ming also had major interests in the United States, and if he married this relative, it might help the great cause of the empire.

When Xiang Xiaoqiang heard this, he also felt that this was simply pie in the sky. Senator, this is an absolute heavyweight in American politics.

In the time and space of later generations, the status of Chinese Americans at this time was still very low. But this plane is very different. Because of the existence of the Ming Dynasty and the closure of the Northern Qing Dynasty, most of the Chinese in the world went out from the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is the level of education, the level of civilization, or the degree of acceptance by the international community, it is far from being comparable to the Chinese in that real time and space. Now in the United States, the status of Chinese is much higher than that of blacks, and there are many examples of politics.

But Rao is like this, and it is not easy for the Chinese to sit in the seat of the federal senator. There are only a few dozen states in the United States, and each state has a total of two senators. The Senate is no better than the House of Representatives, and the Senators are much better.

Especially since the girl's uncle is also an elected senator from Michigan, which is even more rare. Because Detroit is in Michigan. Detroit is now not only the Motor City of the United States, but also the largest automotive production base in the world. Michigan is the "auto economy" and has a huge number of industrial workers. Daming's car orders can be said to affect the rise and fall of this state. It also affects the seats of two members of the Senate and several members of the House of Representatives.

Oh my God, this girl came out at the right time.

But...... Xiang Xiaoqiang put down the phone, but pondered:

…… In view of the marriage system of the Ming Dynasty, generally Western men came to Daming to settle down and marry, but few Western women came to Daming to settle down and marry. Although he is a Chinese-American, he also has a high status and wealth in the United States...... Isn't that a bit weird?
