Chapter 140: The Great War is Imminent
The big headline in the newspaper read, "Great Britain has lost its empire, but has not yet found a new role." "It seems that Britain is at the end of its rope, and the sun is setting.
"It is much better to acknowledge the fact that we have differences than to mislead the people of the world with false hopes and say that an agreement has been reached when there is no agreement," the UN said in a statement. ”
U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower pointed out in his State of the Union address: Use non-war means to reduce the threat of the mechanistic camp.
Under the armistice, China and the United States began exchanging prisoners of war. At the same time, the secret discussion about whether the United States should use nuclear weapons against China has wide implications for the world.
In addition to the use of nuclear weapons, the military began to plan to use the navy to completely block the coast of China, occupy the coastal islands, and use the Kuomintang army to invade the mainland.
In the Soviet Union, the effects of Stalin's death gradually came to the fore, and Khrushchev separately signed a decree instructing the local party organizations not to take a hard line against the Russian Orthodox Church and not to take measures that would damage the feelings of believers.
New Times magazine published that "writers should write only according to their own ideals", which led to the dismissal of the magazine's editor.
The Soviet Union, the United States, France, and Great Britain will meet in Berlin to try to resolve the still divided question of Germany and Austria, with the intention of rebuilding a unified democratic sovereign state.
As soon as the new year begins, all countries in the world have shown that their policies are completely different from those of the past, and the tense world situation seems to have the possibility of easing.
Frankimir does not like war, he prefers high-tech camp competition, war can only bring disaster, but technological competition can benefit all mankind.
Of course, he thought that he was willing to do his best to prevent the outbreak of a large-scale war. This is also the value of KGB agents in his opinion, which is to reduce the world as much as possible. The possibility of the outbreak of war.
If people can do something, time will pass quickly before they know it.
In the blink of an eye, it was already noon.
Since everyone came back late last night, Zhang Yue didn't let people disturb everyone's rest early in the morning.
Until noon. She sent a waitress to tell everyone that she had set up a banquet in Zizhuxuan, firstly to wash away the dust for Frankimir and Kafka, and secondly, to thank Dai Yueyue and Miss Yiru.
When everyone learned that the eldest princess Zhang Yue was invited, they naturally didn't dare to slack off. Under the guidance of the maid, he hurried to Zizhuxuan.
It's not the first time they've been here, so it's no surprise that it's lavishly decorated. Only Dai Yueyue and Yiru are still here for the first time, and no matter what they see, they feel very novel. Especially the purple bamboo forest outside the house, as well as the incredible agate table, these things don't seem to belong to this world, but they really appear in front of their eyes.
When Frankimir followed the maid to Zizhuxuan, Kafka was already sitting there and was the first to drink.
As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, he couldn't wait to rush over. Kafka was a rough man who never cared about courtesy. Without waiting for the crowd to arrive, he poured himself a drink.
Zhang Yue, who was sitting on the side, even though he had the heart to say a few words to him, was embarrassed to speak, so he could only let Kafka do whatever he wanted.
For Zhang Yue, who is a princess, she has long been tired of pretending to be showy, and Kafka's straightforward nature regardless of it not only makes her not have any disgust, but adds a long-lost affection.
Unrestrained, unscrupulous way to get along. Although it looks insulting and not very elegant and warm, it is innocent and invisible. It is full of sincerity and simplicity.
The more developed human civilization is, the more elaborate etiquette becomes, and the more unadorned frankness will become, the more precious it will be, and no one wants to live hypocritically with a mask every day.
Frank Mire was the last to arrive, which made him somewhat embarrassed. Silently found a chair and sat down.
After the maids poured wine for everyone one by one, Zhang Yue picked up the wine glass and got up and said, "I don't take care of it, I hope you will forgive me." Time is in a hurry, I didn't prepare any good dishes, and I hope you don't blame the rudeness, it can be regarded as a little thin noodles for the little woman. ”
A smile appeared on Zhang Yue's face after speaking, but the smile on the face of this big beauty today made people feel extremely uncomfortable no matter how they looked at it.
The eldest princess was so polite, everyone dared to slack off, and they immediately stood up and paid tribute to Zhang Yue.
After everyone drank the wine in their glasses, they returned to their seats and began to enjoy the delicious food on the agate table.
Zhang Yue said that he didn't prepare any good dishes, which was just a humble word. In the Twin Cities, where food is extremely scarce, the cost of this table of wine banquets is enough for a second-class master to earn for a year. Because the northeast king of the Twin Cities is only called the king and not the emperor, so in the Twin Cities, the highest rank of officials is the second grade, and there is no one who is the first grade or the first rank here.
At present, everyone is naturally drinking happily, and they have already thrown their troubles out of the clouds.
Only Zhang Yue, I don't know if it's because I'm tired of eating jade liquid elixir, and I'm a little depressed and can't get my spirits.
Maria, the ice beauty who always looks on coldly, looks cold all the time. This inevitably makes the people who are with her wonder if she is still such a cold and disappointing appearance when she is in love with men and women, and only Frank Mimir will know the answer to this question.
Maria was not carried away by the food and wine, she noticed the sullen Zhang Yue, although Zhang Yue hid her mood well, but the atmosphere was completely different from others, but she couldn't hide from Maria's keen gaze.
Just as when she first saw Dai Yueyue and Yiru girl, she already realized that they were not girls from their own families, and they were good friends with Frank Mire, so they were inevitably a nest of snakes and rats. Coupled with what happened yesterday, she was even more sure.
And now her attitude towards Zhang Yue is the same, Maria thinks that Zhang Yue must have something on her mind.
Although Maria was sitting next to Zhang Yue, she was always worried and embarrassed to speak, until she had passed three rounds of wine and five flavors, and then took advantage of the wine to ask: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I see that you are always at a loss for what to do, what are you worried about?" ”
When Zhang Yue heard this, he was upset, and he really wanted to talk to someone.
She sighed and said slowly: "Early this morning, in the royal court, an official came to report, saying that the father asked the national teacher to choose a good day and an auspicious day, it seems that the battle of the divine beast is imminent, and there is no room for maneuver at all......"
"Hey! What is there to worry about, leave this matter to us! The princess can rest assured, she must be able to catch it. Kafka didn't wait for Zhang Yue to finish speaking, and rushed to say it very rudely. (To be continued.) )
