"Xiaoshan, are you from the Huaxia Republic?" asked Helen with an inquiring look. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey, how do you know?" Huo Shan said in surprise, he didn't seem to have ever mentioned it to Helen before.
"Grandpa Emma told me!"
"Oh, it's him!" Huo Shan nodded, his identity and origin, it may be easy to hide Helen, who is not deeply involved in the world, but he definitely can't hide the old and refined Emma, how can he be a simple person who can become the big butler of the French branch of the Bourbon family, not to mention that he has also been in contact with the people of the Huo family army before. Even after falling into the sea, he once ran into Ho Lei, and was rescued by Huo Feng and them on the boat.
Therefore, when he saw Huo Lei again at this moment, Old Man Emma naturally understood Huo Shan's identity, but he only understood part of it, but he didn't know much about Huo Shan's status and relationship in the Huo family's army.
"So, Xiaoshan, are you really from the Huaxia Republic?"
It has been more than half a month since the Chinese People's Army was transformed into the founding of the Huaxia Republic, and the residents of Yap Island have long known the news, and Helen is naturally no exception.
"Hmm!"
"I am the heir of the Huo family of the Huaxia Republic, and our Huo family controls half of the industry and commerce of the Huaxia Republic, and the family assets are equivalent to 10 billion francs!" Of course, this is still Huo Shanshao said a lot, just his harvest in the last economic crisis is worth more than 10 billion francs.
But despite this, Helen's small mouth still opened in an O-shape, and the look on her face was directly frozen.
How much is 10 billion francs. Helen didn't know. But she knew that this was twice the amount of reparations paid to Germany after France was defeated in the Franco-Prussian War in 1871 and the Frankfurt Treaty was signed!
Although the French Bourbon family she was in before was also a wealthy family in Europe. But the wealth controlled by the family is probably not so much.
"Xiaoshan, is this true?" asked Helen, stunned.
"Of course, how could I lie to you!" Huo Shan smiled.
However, he didn't plan to tell Helen about the special relationship between the Huo family and the Huaxia Republic, if Helen's words were fine, the key was that the old man Emma was indeed an old fox who didn't know anything, if he knew that the news that the Huo family was the behind-the-scenes controller of the Huaxia Republic was revealed, and then spread out, it would have an impact on his future plans. This is what Huo Shan does not want to see.
Quietly wait for Helen's face to calm down. Huo Shan took a deep breath, what he said earlier was all for the words later. Foreshadowing made.
"Helen, I am the heir of the Huo family, and I am also the only seedling of the Huo family, so ...... So my mother hopes that I can spread the branches for the Huo family......! Possibly!"
"I may have to marry several wives!" Huo Shan finally gritted his teeth and said.
He knew that the West at this time was already monogamous. And he also comes from the later generations of feminist awakening. The fundamental character in my mind is still shaped by later generations, so I instinctively think that this matter is very difficult news for Helen to accept.
However, his guess was indeed correct, and when he heard the news, Helen's face did turn a little pale, after all, no woman wanted to share her husband with others.
Seeing this, Huo Shan felt distressed and hugged the woman who was already pregnant with his own child tightly into his arms.
"Helen, don't worry, even if I have other wives in the future. I won't let you down!"
"Hmm!" nodded slightly, and two lines of tears left on Helen's cheeks. Zhen Shou pressed tightly against Huo Shan's cheek, feeling the manly aura on his body, and tightened his hands hard.
The two hugged each other silently, conveying each other's love and warmth. Make each other's feelings better.
And Helen's initial sadness quickly disappeared.
In fact, when she decided to marry Huo Shan, she was already prepared for his polygamy. After all, she also knew something about Oriental culture before.
And, although monogamy is prevalent in the West. But the existence of a lover is indeed a secret that everyone knows. Especially in large European families, especially in France, where romance exudes in the air, it is really normal for a man to have several lovers. Including Helen's father, in addition to her mother, she had seen five or six of her father's lovers.
It's just that this situation fell on herself, which made her a little difficult to accept for the first time when she experienced this kind of thing, so she felt sad in her heart. Now, it's good to want to open it.
And after seeing that Helen was indeed fine, Huo Shan's heart was also relieved. You must know that she is pregnant with her own child, and the pregnant woman's emotions should not be excited or too sad, which will affect the fetus. So if it weren't for the imminent need for his mother's matter, Huo Shan would not have been able to tell this matter at this time.
"Fortunately, the result doesn't look bad!" Huo Shan thought secretly in his heart.
Let's not mention for the time being, what kind of anxious situation Huo Shan came for his mother.
At this moment, the huge contingent of nearly 20,000 men of the Sixth Marine Division of the Huojia Army, escorted by four warships of the Navy's American Fleet, crossed the Atlantic Ocean from the Caribbean administrative region to Liberia, which had become an African colony of the Huojia Army.
After the fleet approached Monrovia, the former capital of Liberia, which had been renamed Dingyuan City, Wang Dong, who had just replaced Pang Wanchun, who had been promoted to deputy chief of staff of the American Military Region, and became the commander of the Sixth Division of the Hailun Marine Corps, walked down.
"Commander Wang, welcome!" After saluting each other, Duan Zhixuan, commander of the Third Marine Division, said enthusiastically.
"Hehe, Lao Duan is polite to me!"
"Haha, okay! Then I'm welcome, let's go! The banquet for you is ready. But it's all our army's home-cooked food, don't dislike it!" Duan Zhixuan said with a smile.
"Hehe, what dislike is not disliked, as long as there is a stutter, I can't starve my Lao Wang!"
When the two were studying at the National Defense University, they used to sleep together, and their relationship was naturally very iron.
"Old Duan, it seems that you have done a good job!" At this time, Wang Dong noticed the black people on the dock on one side, who were being driven by the soldiers of the Huo Family, honestly queuing up and walking onto the dock transport ship.
Noticing his eyes, Duan Zhixuan smiled, "What is this! I have been here in Liberia for less than a month, and I have done everything here." They're so unbeaten!"
"Now, in addition to escorting black slaves, the 20,000 people in our third division are all about to get sick!"
Listening to Duan Zhixuan's complaints, Wang Dong also sighed, "Alas, I'm not much better, although Mauritania is much larger than Liberia, its population is smaller than here." I have 20,000 people in six divisions, and it is estimated that I will be basking in the sun every day in a month!"
This time, after being revised by Liberia, his 6th Navy Division will soon go north to Mauritania, where it will remain for a long time.
Therefore, Duan Zhixuan's present at this moment is also Wang Dong's future.
"Okay, I don't want to worry about these things, let's go!"
"Well, let's go!" After listening to Duan Zhixuan's words, Wang Dong also nodded.
However, after a short time, the expression on Wang Dong's face also became surprised, "This is Monrovia, the original capital of Liberia?
Looking at Wang Dong, Monrovia, which has been renamed Dingyuan City at this moment, is not as big as a county town in the Qing Dynasty, and it is full of yellow adobe houses. And many of the houses can be seen to show signs of repair. If it weren't for the cleanliness of the streets, it would be hard to believe that this was once the capital of a country.
"It's better now, haven't you seen that when I first came, Dingyuan City was even more dilapidated than now, dirty and messy, six out of ten houses were broken, except for the church that the Americans in the city center once built, the rest were all unsightly!" Duan Zhixuan said with a tangled face and emotion.
"Then why don't you tear it down and rebuild it, and keep this broken place?"
After listening to his words, Duan Zhixuan rolled his eyes, "What you said is light, if it was really that easy to rebuild, we would have dismantled it and rebuilt it a long time ago!"
"The key is that there are no supplies!" Duan Zhixuan sighed.
"Now, the war between China and the United States has stopped, and the entire fourteen provinces of the Americas, one municipality directly under the central government, and one Caribbean administrative region are engaged in construction, and there is a shortage of steel and concrete. And Liberia can't produce it, so it's hard to ship it from the Americas, and it's all used to expand the terminal!"
"So, for a while, I don't expect to rebuild Dingyuan City, I can only repair it first, and I will live there!"
After finishing speaking, Wang Dong also understood, and then he thought about his own situation in the future, "It seems that I will soon be like you! But you are better in Liberia, at least the mountains and rivers are beautiful, unlike Mauritania, where I am stationed, except for the coastal and southern parts, all of them are big deserts, hot and dry! It must be very tiring!"
Hearing this, Duan Zhixuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Why don't we apply to the military department, our two troops will be replaced, you come to Liberia, and our third division will be stationed in Mauritania!"
"Hehe, don't change!" Wang Dong smiled and said in a firm tone.
"Don't, or you think about it again!" Duan Zhixuan said without giving up.
"Don't think about it, Liberia is good, but it is surrounded by British and French colonies, and there is no room for expansion at all! Unlike my Mauritania, which can also expand to Mali in the east. It's still a bit of a fight, not too lonely!"
At this time, Mali was not exactly a French colony, and the French colonists began to invade in the 50s of the 19th century. (To be continued.) )
