Chapter 45: The Mantefield Family
Lin Yidong stared at Knightlian seriously, and Knightlian looked very unnatural.
"Sumter."
Lin Yidong showed a rare straight face: "I know, you must know what happened to me before, and you also know, since I boarded the Alexander and left the earth, I have been a little ...... Forehead...... The memory is messy, so I need you to tell me what happened to me before. ”
Knightlian looked at Lin Yidong with a complicated expression, and after a long time, he slowly said under Lin Yidong's expectant gaze: "Actually, it's like this......"
Lin Yidong Mantefield was born into a huge family of human beings on Earth, the Mantefield family.
This family is even bigger than the Rothschilds, who once dominated the world. If the Rothschilds influenced the world in the twentieth century, now the Mantefields are one of the oligarchic leadership families of the United Earth Council.
And the Mantefield family has no shortage of clansmen who can enter the upper echelons of the United Earth Council.
The first chairman of the United Earth Council was Wang Jintian Mantefield of the Mantefield family, and Wang Jintian Mantefield was the eldest brother of Lin Yidong's grandfather, that is, Wang Jintian Mantefield was Lin Yidong's eldest uncle.
And Lin Yidong's grandfather, Mance von Mantefeld is Germanic, and Lin Yidong's grandmother is Noshpova Romanov Mantfeld, who is of Slavic descent, so Lin Yidong's father is of mixed Germanic and Slavic descent, but Lin Yidong's father Seckert Mantefield grew up in North America, so according to the later ethnic division agreement of the United Power Alliance, Lin Yidong's father belongs to immigrant Americans.
Lin Yidong's father-in-law, Lin Dedian is of Chinese descent, and his mother-in-law Lin Shu Nanako is of Yamato descent, so Lin Yidong's mother is of mixed Chinese and Yamato ethnicity, but Lin Yidong's mother Lin Wuze grew up in Huaxia, and according to the ethnic division of the United Power Alliance, Lin Yidong's mother belongs to the Chinese descent.
Lin Yidong's father Secket Mantefield is the third son of Mance von Mantefeld, Mance Feng has eight children, Lin Yidong's father Seckert is the fifth, and there are two sisters and two older brothers in the front, and two younger brothers and a younger sister in the back.
Mother Lin Wuze is the youngest daughter of Lin Dedian of the Lin family, with six brothers and sisters in front, Lin Wuze and Seckert signed a marriage, and it didn't take long for them to give birth to five children.
In other words, Lin Yidong Mantefield has an eldest sister, a big brother, a second brother and a third brother!
Next, the point is, why did Lin Yidong give up his stable life on the earth and come to the Koplu Star District to fight for life and death?
The root lies in the inheritance of this family.
You must know that a huge family, with many family members, direct and sideline, within the clan and outside the clan, the combination of multiple forces is very chaotic, which is why there are many big families, and many film and television novels like to describe them.
The United Earth Council is the evolution of the United Earth Power Alliance, during the United Power Alliance, several major Earth families led by Mantefield firmly controlled the oligarchic leadership of the Earth United Power Alliance, and the power was in their hands, and almost the power of the entire human empire was concentrated in the hands of these eight families.
The first chairman of the United Earth Council was Wang Jintian Mantefield, who was also a contemporary, the eldest son of the Mantefield family.
And Lin Yidong's grandfather Mans von Mantefeld is the second son, so Lin Yidong's bloodline is actually not the eldest son.
But with such a large family, the family strength of each line is an existence that cannot be ignored.
Going around and around, what is the problem with Lin Yidong's identity?
Lies in the fact that Lin Yidong is a concubine.
That's right, Lin Yidong is in his own family, he belongs to the youngest son, in his own family, he must not have much right to speak, in his own family, there is a sister and three brothers in front of him, how can he have his own share.
And looking at it bigger, Lin Yidong's father is the third son of his grandfather, and he is not the eldest son, so Lin Yidong is even more difficult to be noticed.
And the most fatal thing about not being noticed in a big family is that no one will deliberately discover themselves and cultivate themselves, and if they wait until their children and grandchildren reach adulthood, if they are still unproductive, the result is exile.
This exile is not that exile, but a polite invitation to leave the family and let you go out into society on your own. If you have the attention of the family, you may be able to get a bite to eat in society, but if you don't pay attention, then you really rely on your own ability.
Lin Yidong faced such an embarrassing situation when he was eighteen years old, because his brothers and sisters in his family were too good, his father was too partial to his brothers and sisters, and wanted to train his brothers and sisters to become high-level candidates for the United Earth Council, and in his grandfather's big family, his father had to face all-round competition from his seven brothers and sisters, and the children of his uncles and aunts were also top young talents.
It can be said that if Lin Yidong is placed in the Mantefield family of this generation, then Lin Yidong's ranking in the younger generation of Mantefield is in the middle and lower reaches.
But Lin Yidong's mother, Lin Wuze treats her children equally, she does not pay attention to him because Lin Yidong is the youngest son, not the eldest son, when her husband copes with the double pressure from the career and family, Lin Wuze, as the woman behind him, silently bears the heavy responsibility of the family for her husband, so Lin Yidong's family is still relatively warm, this is also Lin Wuze's efforts, she strives to create a warm family, teach her children to have healthy competition, they are all a family, Insist on influencing children and husbands with high moral qualities.
Therefore, one of the most united families in this generation of the Mantefield family is the Seckert Mantefield family.
Because Lin Yidong is the youngest son, he was also loved when he was born, and Seckert and Lin Wuze named Lin Yidong Lin Yidong Mantefield, which is actually a respectful tribute to the two families.
But as the younger generation grew up, Seckert had to think more about the future interests of his family, so Seckert had to focus on his eldest son and eldest daughter, and in this way, he neglected his younger son more.
And Lin Yidong himself is also very smart, when he was on the earth, he had already noticed the tilt of family interests, and he even thought that because he had been at home, the coordinated and healthy competition advocated by the family should drive his young generation, who had slowed down more than half of the pace, to move forward, which was really a bit of a suspicion of delay, so Lin Yidong took the initiative to ask Ying, and followed his grandfather's friend, Mans von Mantfeld's old comrade-in-arms who had served in the army, General Gerard Dugar and Alexey Murphy. Lieutenant General Stukov boarded the Alexander and came to the Koplu Star Zone.
It was such an initiative to ask for help, which made Mance von Mantefeld a little surprised, because he didn't expect that there would be such a brave junior in the family who dared to go on an expedition to an unknown distance alone, and in addition, as a senior member of the United Earth Council, he also understood the destination of the expeditionary fleet, the complexity of the Koplu Star District, Mance von once thought that the probability of the expeditionary fleet succeeding in the expedition was no more than 50%, and at the moment, One of his grandsons was so bold to embark on a journey to the unknown starry sky. Although Lin Yidong is not in the list of key training of Mance Feng, this does not prevent Mance Feng from looking at all this from the perspective of family affection.
When Mance Feng found Seckert to ask about Lin Yidong, he immediately understood the reason why Lin Yidong left the family and went to the Koplu Star District alone, which couldn't help but make Mance Feng a little interested, so Mance Feng later found his in-law Lin Dedian, the two are important partners in the officialdom, and the marriage of their children is actually a political marriage, but this political marriage happens to be based on the free love between the two.
