Chapter 41: Thirteen Years
The time is 1936.
It has been 13 years since the catastrophe of the Yellow Peril, and a lot has happened in those 13 years.
The first was the establishment of the Chinese Empire.
Under the command of Chen Xu and the export of German technology, two warlords, Duan Zhigui and Xu Shuzheng, swept across the whole of China, swept away all the newly emerging resistance forces, and then established the Chinese Empire with Qin Shi Huang as the emperor.
The two of them, one in power and the other in the military, controlled the entire empire and vigorously promoted superstitious ideas.
The so-called superstition is the Catholicism established with the establishment of the Chinese Empire, also known as Protestantism (here, the Protestantism of the Christianity is merged with Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity, and is collectively referred to as Catholicism).
Protestantism divides the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and propagates that the Father is in charge of the past, the Son is in charge of the present, and the Holy Spirit is in charge of the future, and the Father and the Son have fallen, and the Holy Spirit has come from the future across time and space to become the new Lord.
The backbone of Protestantism was the group of people who sacrificed to Qin Shi Huang at the beginning, who, under the threat of Chen Xu, brazenly joined Protestantism, became the backbone of Protestantism, and imitated the Catholic 'Old Testament' and 'New Testament' to make a 'covenant'.
"I am from hereafter as your new Lord, and you are to honor me, to love me, to believe in me, and to bless you and to give you shelter." -- The Covenant
When Protestantism was established, the Catholic pope was naturally angry, and on the one hand, he declared that Protestantism was a heretical cult, and on the other hand, he trumpeted that the Lord had sent angels to destroy the yellow demons, and led a group of winged birdmen to half-hide themselves in front of the newspapers.
Out of curiosity about angels, Chen Xu went to the Vatican in person, but what disappointed him was that the so-called angels were actually a group of birdmen with wings - they really had wings on their backs, and they could be easily removed, which was convenient and fast.
Religious matters aside, the clouds of war still loom over Europe.
It turns out that capital is greedy, and after redividing its spheres of influence, capital is still not satisfied, and they are eyeing each other in a vain attempt to annex each other.
And history has also proved that in the absence of nuclear deterrence, the competition for interests relies on force, not by other means.
In Asia, in Africa, and elsewhere, friction between Germany and other countries has become more and more intense, and from time to time small conflicts have erupted.
And in Germany, Hitler also came to power ahead of schedule.
Historically, Hitler came to power in 1933, but in this time and space, Hitler came to power in 1924.
When the whole of Europe was under the threat of the Yellow Peril, Schmidt seized the opportunity to push Hitler to the fore with the help of the power of the Dark Council, and the Nazis have been rampant ever since.
In the past 13 years, the Dark Council has also been greatly expanded, from the initial 21 years to 31 years, joining either the newly rising Junker nobles, or the newly born capital predators, which greatly expanded the strength of the Dark Council.
……
The venue was a banquet in London, England.
The waiters in tuxedos are interspersed with them, serving wine and food, and the ladies are dressed in evening dresses, which is high-end and high-end.
Chen Xu stood in the depths of the hall, drinking alone, looking at the door from time to time.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he stood up, and with a smile on his face, he greeted him, "Evelyn, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and you are still as young and beautiful as before." ”
"Oh God, I knew you were the one who invited me." Evelyn was also very happy to see Chen Xu, and hurriedly walked over, "Come, get to know him, he is my son Eric." ”
Evelyn took out the Eric in the back and introduced it to Chen Xu, "Eric, like his father, is a restless master, which gives me a headache. ”
"You're Eric?" Chen Xu squatted down, looked at the child who was about 8 years old, and said, "Why does your mother say that you are restless." ”
"I love to explore." Eric was still young, so to be honest, "My mom always didn't like me going on expeditions, saying it was dangerous. ”
"Uh......." Evelyn was embarrassed by Eric, and hurriedly said, "He's this surname, like his father." ”
"Why did you become like me again, obviously you like it...... Oh! ”
O'Connor paid for his words.
Evelyn withdrew her hand from O'Connor's body and said, "Why did you come to us today?" ”
"I'm here in London to do some business, and I'm going to find you by the way." Chen Xu snapped his fingers and beckoned the waiter, "I'll give you four glasses of red wine!" ”
"No need for four cups." Evelyn hurriedly said, "Eric is still too young to drink. ”
"It's a shame." Chen Xu took the wine from the waiter and teased Eric, "Men, you should drink." ”
"I can drink." Eric puffed out his cheeks and said, "I'm a man, I'm going to drink." ”
"Baby, you can't drink." Evelyn hurriedly crouched down.
"What does it matter if he is given a glass of red wine." O'Connor said disdainfully, "When I was his age, I drank bucket after bucket. ”
"That's because you're an alcoholic." Evelyn was angry that O'Connor had spoiled her little darling, and she didn't treat him well.
Chen Xu looked at the family of three with a smile, and he felt that it was very warm because of the noisy thing here because of a glass of red wine.
"Sir, there is a telegram from you." The waiter came over and whispered a reminder.
"Okay." Chen Xu nodded, and then said to Evelyn: "Sorry, I have some things that need to be dealt with, so I'll be with you for a while." ”
Chen Xu followed the waiter and left, and after a while, he came out again, but his face was a little unsightly.
"What's wrong? What's going on? The sensitive Evelyn was the first to notice that something was wrong.
"Nothing." Chen Xu took a breath softly, "It's just that a dog raised at home is a little unhappy with a rope tied around his neck, so he sent someone to find something, something that can cut a short rope." ”
Evelyn and O'Connor both vaguely understood the deep meaning of Chen Xu's words, but Eric didn't know, and he asked innocently: "How can a puppy command people." ”
"Because that puppy is very smart!" Chen Xu said: "He began to pretend to be a good partner of human beings, and made great contributions to human beings, and when he gained the trust of human beings, he obtained a thing called power, and with this thing, he could instruct people." ”
"The right thing is so powerful? Can instruct people! Eric was taken aback, "Where can I find the right, I'm going to find it too." ”
"Haha!" Chen Xu was amused by Eric's words, he reached out and put his hand on Eric's brown hair, "You are still young, you can't find the right yet, and when you grow up, you will find the right." ”
"I'm not small," Eric hated Chen Xu for messing up his behavior.
"Good, good, good, little Eric is not small, it's an adult, right, little Eric." Chen Xu was even happier.
"What little Eric." Eric was very dissatisfied with Chen Xu's words, so he simply hid behind O'Connor and did not see Chen Xu.
"You and I." O'Connor pulled Chen Xu to the door of the hall.
He looked at him, his mood was surging, and his face was ugly, "What are you doing here." ”
"Come here to do something, by the way, look at you, what, old friends are here, aren't you happy? If you're not happy, I won't leave, and I'll make you unhappy every day. Chen Xu teased O'Connor.
"I'm glad you're here, but I won't be happy if you have other ideas." O'Connor grimaced, "I know you like Evelyn, but Evelyn is married to me, and even has a son, so don't come and destroy our happy family." ”
"What?" Chen Xu was surprised, "I like Evelyn?" ”
He never knew he liked Evelyn.
"I don't like Evelyn, why haven't you been married for 13 years, and you don't even have a girlfriend." O'Connor's face was a little unpleasant, "You gave up Evelyn by yourself, and now you come to Evelyn, what do you want to do?" ”
"I don't like Evelyn." Chen Xu knew that O'Connor had misunderstood, "I have never liked Evelyn, she is just a friend to me, a friend like you, I cherish my friendship with you, so I will not ruin your relationship." ”
"As for why I didn't find a girlfriend, it's because I feel that my fate hasn't arrived yet, and I haven't met a girl who makes my heart move, maybe a lifetime has passed, and I can't find a girl who makes my heart move."
Chen Xu pursued, and he didn't have much demand for men and women, but if a girl who made him excited appeared, he wouldn't delay.
"You really don't like Evelyn?" O'Connor was a little incredulous.
"I really don't like it." Chen Xu said sincerely, it is not a fake.
"Great." O'Connor excitedly punched Chen Xu, "Good brother, I knew you weren't that kind of person, and I blamed you for it." ”
O'Connor patted Chen Xu on the shoulder and recounted the suffering, "Brother, when I was in Hamnata, I thought you two were eyebrow-to-eye, and later Evelyn often told me that you were good, and mentioned that I wanted to go to you, which made me very jealous. ”
O'Connor wasn't a deep-hearted person, "I really like Evelyn, from the first time I saw her, I liked her, so I'm scared of losing her, you know how it feels?" Brothers! ”
"I know, but as I said, I don't have feelings for Evelyn, and I'm not the kind of person who has a bad taste for wives." Chen Xu hurriedly said: "Okay, let's not talk about this topic, let's talk about other things." ”
"Do you know where Evelyn's brother Jonathan has gone?"
"He seems to have gone to Africa to find some spear of judgment." O'Connor recalled, "Ever since you got the treasure of Hamnata, he was stimulated and spent his days talking about looking for the treasure of the Scorpion King, who had more gold than the treasure of Hamnata. ”
