Chapter 57: The Birth of a Famous Painting
Massimiliano I, calmly faced his death and went to the place of execution.
Hold your head high and face the musket executioners sent by the United Mexican States.
"I will forgive the people of the world, and I hope that the people of the world will forgive me."
"For the good of the country, I am willing to shed my blood, long live Mexico! Long live independence! ”
"The kids are aiming, aiming straight ahead!"
Massimiliano I shouted as he pointed to his chest full of medals.
Shots rang out, and Massimiliano I, along with the rest of the remaining "foolish" high-ranking members of the Second Mexican Empire, fell.
"Brother! I don't disgrace the Habsburgs. ”
"Even in the face of death, I accept it calmly like a true nobleman!"
"The Habsburgs will reign over the world!"
No one knows what Massimiliano I had in his head at the end, people only know him as a "puppet", a puppet of the Second French Empire.
Such heavy news quickly spread to the ears of every upper-class person in Europe and the United States.
The members of the Habsburg royal family, as well as the high-class nobles who were supported by Napoleon's royal family, Spain, the Netherlands, England, and other countries, were thus executed.
What's more, the entire European aristocracy did not fail to sell face to the Habsburgs, and almost all the nobles wrote letters to the government of the United Mexican States to intercede after the arrest of Massimiliano I.
Under these circumstances, President Benito still ignored all resistance and insisted on the execution of Massimiliano I.
In order to curry favor with the Habsburgs and the most powerful royal family on the European continent, every European aristocrat published all kinds of articles to "bombard" the government of the United Mexican States.
Tom, who learned the news, was lying on the desk with great "grief", crying!
Crying and crying, Tom stopped crying, got up and walked behind a painter who was painting beside him, and looked at his drawing board.
"No, you can't draw this, redraw it."
"Yes, Mr. Smith."
"You have to draw that feeling, hear me."
"Mr. Smith, what does that feeling feel like?"
"It's the kind of person who sees this painting and has the feeling that the death of the emperor is to me like the death of the Twelve Apostles. Do you get the idea? ”
"Ah~... I understand, I understand, please bow back to your original posture. ”
Tom lay on his desk, put on a "just bankrupt" expression, and began to cry sincerely.
Five days later, the world-famous painting "Tom Smith Hears the Death of Massimiliano I" was completed in Tom Smith's office.
Tom's expression on the painting is extremely complex:
A series of negative emotions such as sadness, anger, and remorse are vividly reflected in the painting.
If the Mona Lisa on Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" has a mysterious emotional color that no one can understand.
Then Tom in "Tom Smith Hears the Death of Massimiliano I" has a strong affection that even a blind person can see.
It's not just Tom's expression, Tom's desk in the background picture has a lot of papers that are disrupted by Tom's excitement.
The paper was full of all sorts of "plans for revenge".
Outside the window, the sun in the sky only appears at noon, but outside the window it is not so bright, but a little dim.
Everything was done to bring out Tom's mood when he heard the sad news.
"The young man drew well, but it's a pity that you are not a college student, otherwise I would have sent you to southern Mexico to revitalize Mexico!"
"Does the unsuccessful college students have anything to do with the revitalization of the country?"
"If you don't understand, forget it, go down and get the money."
"Thank you, Mr. Smith."
Tom walked away from the painter who painted him, and looked back at the three-meter-high painting, "Tom Smith Hears the Death of Massimiliano I".
"Perfect, really perfect, it embodies my inner feelings vividly."
"It's exactly the same as the style of Napoleon riding a white horse in a history textbook."
"What an outstanding graduate of the National Academy of Fine Arts in Florence!"
Of course, Tom's expression on the painting was made by Tom himself, not by the artist.
Is Tom really that sad?
Of course not, Tom was just fantasizing that he would become an ordinary worker in the Hero Company, and his children and grandchildren would be ordinary workers, and his expression suddenly became like the one in the painting.
Tom decided not to think about this horrible thing again.
Tom ordered the masterpiece to be hung on one of the walls of the reception room, and he went back to his office to continue his business.
"Brother Tom, the diplomatic envoy from the United Mexican States has arrived and is waiting for you in the reception room."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Tom's work is interrupted by a male attendant, who is not a fool or anything, although he does not care much about the physical condition of the female secretary.
Tom had seen with his own eyes how the female secretary's smooth little belly had bulged a little bit.
Tom recalls that when he and the female secretary played the game of "The Knight and the Evil Elf" several times, he really didn't pay much attention to it, and he knew that the female secretary was pregnant.
Tom is not a "black-hearted" boss, but a caring boss who cares about his subordinates, and he cares most about the welfare of his employees.
In Tom's eyes, every employee is his or her own "family".
The new secretary is a thoughtful cousin of Tom Smith.
Led by his cousin, Tom walked into the reception room with a few papers.
Porfirio Díaz stood in the reception room, waiting for Tom to arrive.
When Tom entered the reception room, he sat directly on the main seat, ignoring Porfirio Díaz and looking at the information in his hand.
Tom's information in his hand couldn't help but make Tom frown, in the information passed by the Yankey, the progress of the Boston consortium to crack the HERO drug was almost completed.
Looking at Tom's solemn face, Porfirio Díaz knew that even if he didn't know what Tom was looking at, he knew that it must be an important document, so he could only wait there.
Porfirio Díaz gave Tom's cousin a look, but the cousin did not take the favor of Porfirio Dias, and just now Porfirio Díaz gave his cousin a golden statue.
"Ahem~"
"Cousin Tom, this is General Porfirio Díaz, a diplomatic envoy sent by the United Mexican States."
"Hello, General Dias."
"Mr. Smith, I've admired the name for a long time, and I'm the first successful person to be as young as you."
Interrupted by his cousin, Tom finally glanced up at Porfirio Díaz a few times, and then looked down at the details of the undercover information.
Tom was unwilling to give Porfirio Díaz even a straight face, and he was unwilling to give Porfirio Dias, the envoy of a country, a good look.
Without him, have you ever seen a cook treat the fish on the board well?
