Chapter 411: Time flies
For Chinese and Americans alike, there was one vintage in the early nineteenth century that was particularly impressive. In that year, China officially established another dynasty after the Qing Dynasty, symbolizing the wind of freedom that reformed the nation. And one of the proud markers of the great powers, sank in this year. The complacent arrogance was poured cold water head-on by the power of nature.
Compared with the national shock of these two countries, the United Kingdom, which is far away in Europe, seems to be calm. The well-dressed aristocrats still held balls from time to time, and while worrying about the restrictions on inheritance laws, they also intrigued and developed their own families. Delusional hope that one day he can become like the Logan family, becoming one of the dazzling gems under the crown of Naying.
A small town by the sea in the southwest of England, a huge manor house with countless scattered cottages makes up its peculiar landscape. The manor occupies half of it, while the scattered small houses occupy the other half. It's as if a mother is with her countless children. From above, it looks like a circle where only half of it is complete and the other half is broken into countless small pieces, which is strange and beautiful.
And it's such a peculiar town, but it has a resounding name - Logan Town.
Logan, this is not a simple surname in the United Kingdom or in the Western world as a whole, their industry is spread all over the world, and their family members hold important positions in various governments. And if an ordinary town can be named after Logan, it can only mean one thing - this is the territory of Earl Logan.
Earl Logan, that's right, after careful planning by the staff and careful implementation by the spies after camouflage, in this era of wars and revolutions, Wang Zheng's Logan family easily obtained the title of earl in many countries. This is already the highest value that a person with a foreign surname can achieve! Above that, there is only the Duke, and the Duke is the exclusive title of the royal family.
The sun rose slowly, and eight huge bells slowly rang from the huge bell tower in the center of the town, enveloping the entire town with a thick and steady flutter. Anyone in the town who hears the bell will subconsciously look up at the majestic manor near the coast. They know. It's the old ladies of the Logan family getting up.
On the lower floor of the main building in the center of Logan Manor, which covers an area of one hundred and fifty hectares, countless waiters and maids are busy quickly, and the foremen and maids of each team are shouting and urging their maids to speed up their movements.
In the huge dining room in the center of the first floor of the main building, five huge long tables were neatly placed in the center, and sixty or seventy gentlemen and ladies who were neatly dressed but had different styles had already sat down obediently at the tables under the service of their own servants.
It's a tradition of the Logan family, as long as the family members come to the house, then lunch and dinner are not there. Breakfast is a must.
Directly in front of the restaurant, on the high platform, there is a slightly shorter, but more luxurious long table placed horizontally. Nine gold-trimmed seats show their owner's position in the family.
The foreman on duty looked at his watch and gently shook the golden bell in his hand. A crisp sound echoed throughout the hall, and the cacophony of speech quickly disappeared.
The ornate door in front of the restaurant slowly opened, and an old man with a slightly old face and gray hair on his head, and two old women wearing dresses of different colors but hair that was already snow-white, slowly walked in.
Sixty or seventy young gentlemen and ladies stood up one after another. Qi Qi shouted with his luggage: "My lord! ”
The tall old man glanced at it, nodded slowly, and led the two old women into the table. Four young men dressed in neat black butler's dresses quickly walked in and rushed to the corners of the high platform like lightning. The face was facing outwards and Ling Ran did not move. A tall old man with all white hair, but also wearing a butler's dress, strode up to the high platform and stood quietly behind the family.
A few people were ready, and six middle-aged men in luxurious costumes brought their personal butlers. He walked over slowly, and after respectfully saluting the three old men, he took his seat step by step. Then the foreman on duty rang the bell again. Countless maids dressed in black and white gothic maid dresses slowly walked into the restaurant with food carts.
Now it's time to eat.
In this big family, which has already had the title of a century-old aristocracy, while Zhang Xian's ancient aristocracy is rigid and grand, there are also people eating breakfast in a small restaurant in the forbidden area on the top floor of the main building. Although it is not as grand as the following in terms of scale, it is several notches higher in the delicacy of the dishes.
"Hmm!" Wang Zheng put a spoonful of egg soup in his mouth with enjoyment, turned off the light screen in front of him casually, and said with a smile: "It's still so spectacular, every time I see this scene, I am trendy." ”
Ziling glanced at him, took a small bite of the delicate pastry in his hand, and said, "Since you like it so much, why don't you play your own role as the head of the family who is almost a hundred years old?" Instead, let the spy disguise. ”
Wang Zheng shook his hand and said, "Forget it, you better spare me." This time I watched it twice and it was fresh and shocking, and I couldn't stand it for a long time! Tom, don't cuff this veal leg pot, this is what the little chef finally cooked, leave me a little! ”
Tom smiled and swallowed half of the beef in his mouth, embarrassed to pass the basin.
Jin Liuniang turned out the basin, selected two pieces of beef with a fork with a relatively complete shape, picked it up for Wang Zheng on the plate in front of him, and gave the basin to Jerry, who was looking at him on the other side, before saying: "Sir, don't bully Tom all the time, they have made war exploits in the galaxy fleet plane." ”
Wang Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "You've been talking about this for almost sixty years, and my ears are about to grind out calluses!" Really, don't I just want to eat a piece of meat, so on the line. ”
Everyone knew that he was just complaining, but they didn't bother to pay attention to it, and they each ate with their heads bored.
Wang Zheng didn't care, quickly dried up the two pieces of calf leg meat, drank up a bottle of Lafe labeled 1860 next to him in one go, and asked with a mouth: "The Titanic sank?" ”
Carl, who had been standing beside him, gently put a newspaper in front of Wang Zheng and said indifferently: "Today is April 15th, and it sank last night!" ”
Wang Zheng picked up the newspaper and glanced at it, nodded and sneered: "There are ships in our shipbuilding group nearby, have you saved people?" ”
"Nope!" Jin Liuniang threw down the spoon, touched her mouth with a napkin, and interjected: "Within ten nautical miles of the Titanic, there is one of our 10,000-ton freighters, but according to your orders, none of us will be saved." Although the specific number of deaths has not yet been officially counted, the data from our investigation system shows that the number is still more than 1,600. ”
"Humph! Now our companies can launch even bigger luxury cruise ships. Wang Zheng sneered: "These new American Industrialists Alliance really don't know what to do, and they dared to refuse our shares at that time." Don't you know that the ocean is the territory of our Logan family? ”
Ziling glanced at it and snorted lightly: "Virtue! Are you addicted to playing Monopoly games? What do these natives have to worry about? ”
Jin Liuniang covered her mouth and smiled: "The main reason is that when I was negotiating, it was the chief who went there on a whim. Although they were in awe of the name of the Logan family, they did not hesitate to reject his proposal. The chief feels very shameless! ”
Wang Zheng coughed dryly and looked out the window with a little embarrassment.
Ziling nodded in a trance, and laughed with Jin Liuniang.
Xiao Meng hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, if the chief doesn't interfere in this sinking incident, he definitely doesn't want to change the world too much." Let's think about it, in the past, the major events that could affect the world in various countries, even if it was a war that was slightly unfavorable to us, didn't we interfere with it? ”
Wang Zheng can find the steps now, and under the great joy, he flashed and teleported to Xiaomeng's side, and then flashed and hugged her back. kissed him fiercely and said, "That's right, that's what I thought!" ”
The other two women wrinkled their noses at the same time and stuck out their little tongues at Wang Zheng together.
"That's right! Is there any progress on Andrei's side? Wang Zheng saw that the two women were contemptuous together, and quickly changed the topic with an undeserved expression. He knew that only business could get them back to business now.
"Oh!" Jin Liuniang was really diverted, and replied after a brief look: "It's okay, the number of mutants has increased a lot in the past ten years, and after our investigation, there are thirteen people who can meet our standards and suck into the organization." Now the number of 'saints' has reached seventy-two. ”
Andre had completely joined Wang Zheng's organization forty years ago, and although he could be regarded as a high-level player, he knew only about the affairs of his own plane. He is aware of the abnormalities of Wang Zheng and others, including the situation of the Logan family. But he didn't know the other planes and Wang Zheng's true identity. However, this kid has been by Wang Zheng's side for more than 60 years, maybe he can't find a better financier than Wang Zheng, or maybe he was shocked by Wang Zheng's ability to give eternal life, anyway, he has never had the idea of 'supporting the army and standing on his own', but has become more and more loyal.
Wang Zheng knew that there must be Ziling and Xin Si moving hands and feet here, but this was a good thing, and Wang Zheng was happy to see it happen.
As for the gold coin, which ranks second among the family warriors, naturally there is nothing to say. This dead-eyed man had already handed over his life after being admitted by Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng touched his chin and thought about it, and said, "Although the saints are full, it is useless to expose them too early, and to inform Andre that he is still lurking. But six teams can be separated. Wait until two years later, when the First World War begins, you can disperse and send them out! Don't relax in terms of personnel, although the saints are only seventy-two, the reserve must be at least three times more! (To be continued......)
