Chapter 385: Time flies
"The partition of India and Pakistan, this is a big subject! There is a lot of information, and it may take a few days to explain it clearly! It is much simpler to explain the matter of digging out a few handfuls of chicken coops. Hang up the map first! ”
Armstrong first introduced the children to the map, where Zurich is, where India is, where the United States is, and so on. Speech has become a "children's lesson"! Giving a lesson to the kids? Not bad either!
"This land is the South Asian subcontinent, which can also be called the Indian continent. Originally, there were many ethnic groups and many different faiths. Babur, a descendant of the Turkicized Mongol Timur, established a feudal autocratic dynasty here called the Mughal Empire. The Portuguese also came here 450 years ago, followed by the British 350 years ago and set up an Indian company. About 190 years ago, the British fought a battle with the Bengali Maharaja in India in Plassey, and the British routed the Bengali army of 70,000 at the cost of only 75 dead and wounded, allowing the British to take the first step in colonizing India! The British conquered India 100 years ago and continue to expand to this day. India brought rich colonial benefits to the British and was hailed as the 'jewel in the queen's crown'. ”
Armstrong took a sip of water and continued: "Why aren't the British going to ask for this gem?" One is that the British ran out of money, and the Germans almost chose to surrender after two wars, and all the gold was shipped to the United States; One is that the Indians have always rebelled against colonization; One was that the British did not want to give up their colonies to the United States; One is that the British had other means of commercial exploitation. Let me explain ...... in detail. "Armstrong was trying hard for the kids to understand, but they had limited time to concentrate! The overall effect was not bad, and he finally said: "As for partition, it is inevitable!" Internally, it is the inevitable choice of Islam, and no neighboring country wants to see a complete India, including the United States and European countries. Of course, it was their inevitable choice for the British to leave some contradictions and disputes. The partition of India and Pakistan would be the beginning of the independence of the global colonies, the first dominoes to fall, although the British would try to delay the process. Of course, the contradictions and disputes left by the British, if the locals do not handle them well, will inevitably make them bleed! ”
I don't know why, Armstrong likes Jiahui very much, and he doesn't care much about boys. He could arrange for other people to give lectures, but he insisted on doing it himself and became a frequent visitor to the manor. This method also satisfied grandpa and grandpa, and it was a clear praise for himself! Li Tie was forced by his grandfather to attend the lecture!
Armstrong and Grandpa can talk about it, and this regular has become a "resident", and he is "lai" in the guest room!
Armstrong's issues have always been closely related to international events, including the United Nations' proposal to divide Palestine in two; the impact of the establishment of the CIA; the "communist" turmoil in the American film industry; What the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade means to us ,......, ...... the "Berlin crisis", and so on. He will also give a more detailed explanation of events such as the "Treaty of Rio de Janeiro", which he considers to be significant.
Armstrong's "nonsense" speeches, too, are many! For example, Kojima's handling of the Chicago gangsters. The two gangsters were killed and injured by eight rocket bombs fired while they were making a deal, and according to the reporter, "the drugs and dollar bills that covered them revealed their crimes." Although it is the cause and consequence of the "nonsense" incident, the history of the mafia is clear and clear.
The dull days flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the spring of '49. On November 8 last year, Ava added a second daughter, asking her grandfather if her name should be called "Ruyu", and her grandfather scolded, "Idiot! Naturally, it's called Ruyu! ”
After Yami had Ruhua, she said that there was no sign of pregnancy again! But Tiegu added a second son to Isaac after the Spring Festival! Let Isaac's strange words become more and more broken, and his mouth can't be closed!
Zhao Hanhong chose a "door-to-door son-in-law" by himself, married for half a year, and was three months pregnant. And Zheng Wenxian has been married for three years, and there is no movement, and the anxious couple is seeking medical advice everywhere. It's that Yin Meina, the "goddaughter", is not married yet, so her grandfather is in a hurry, and she mobilized her uncle and second uncle to bring a lot of photos of young overseas Chinese in the United States for Yin Meina to choose!
went to school for half a year, and the best grades turned out to be Jiahui, who had the worst talent. Li Tiewu was allowed to travel and visit relatives in the United States during the winter vacation. The three little ones who are causing trouble everywhere are screaming when they are not paying attention to the baby of Ruhua and Isaac. The "heavy responsibility" of beating the child is naturally Daria's, Daria's "start" is unceremoniously, and the three children don't know what's wrong, and it's uncomfortable not to let Dalia beat her every day. The iron pillar also acted as a protective umbrella at the beginning, I don't know how the children made him anxious, and became Daria's assistant, one is responsible for catching and the other is responsible for fighting! Ask me? Easy to do, the punishment is changed to clean up the manor police dog kennel! This time, even grandpa and grandpa didn't give three romances!
Woody was in business. With the implementation of the "Marshall Plan" in Europe, business in Europe has become active. Under the repeated pleas of Woody's friends, Woody ended the "bailout" business, and the normalization of the operation brought huge profits, plus the current money-making machine of flat glass under his command, and the only European distributor of household appliances; With the great improvement of business in Hong Kong and Xinjiapo, the business in Japan has developed steadily. Even Isaac said that the current Woody is the real wealthy. As everyone knows, his biggest source of wealth is the smuggling of weapons through the island, and the strong demand for weapons from various organizations seeking independence in the colony makes it difficult to make a fortune! What pleased Mr. Woody the most was that I didn't make any donations! Isaac arranged for him to prepare $10 million worth of various currencies, and he happily agreed.
He had almost done the preparations for going to China, Woody had prepared various currencies, and Mr. Isaac had prepared $10 million in currency. When he visited Missouri before the holiday, he personally "forced" Peter, Samuel, and Ilona to "leak" core technical secrets, although Ilona's leaking process was too glamorous. Add to this a compilation of speeches by an American company and Armstrong, and the main preparation is complete. This time, even if it is for the sake of Tiezhu, it is imperative to take this trip in person, and I really don't feel at ease to let Tiezhu go back alone.
The time he chose was after the liberation of Xi'an by the People's Liberation Army and before Situ Leiden's retreat to the United States. On the one hand, the Kuomintang was in a panic and had no time to take care of anything else, and on the other hand, the Chinese Communist Party and the United States both had hopes for each other. There is also a valid reason to go to Shaanxi to verify the orphanage, of course, you need to impersonate yourself! As for whether I will be able to meet Mr., I am not sure, after all, at that time, Mr.'s work was complicated, and it was not enough to describe it with a thousand opportunities.
The entourage, Zhao Hanhong's body was inconvenient, and he confirmed through the United Nations Children's Rescue Society and authorized Yin Meina to act as an agent. Li Mingze and Zheng Wenxian must follow, and Daria can't refuse herself!
Is Li Hong with it? I hesitated for a long time, but I still denied it, the old chief is busy fighting now, and he is not yet 18 years old, right? I have the words to say, just take his academic performance and usual photos with me!
Grandpa and Grandpa have no way to go back this time, as for having to go back, they need to be agreed by Mr. Tie Gu wanted to go back, but was categorically denied by her grandfather, and she wanted to arrange for Li Tie to go back with her, but was categorically denied by Isaac! Xiaoya's family has to take it with them no matter what, otherwise they will have another chance at some time.
Woody and Isaac took their trip very seriously, especially when Woody objected unsuccessfully, and decided that while I was in China, he would personally sit in the Far East to deal with it. The large bombers that had been converted into transport planes were restored to self-defense machine guns, and they were first flown to Hong Kong to stand by as air protection planes entering the country. Grandpa's plane was also sent to Missouri for a complete overhaul and two latest models of high-power radios were modified.
Isaac handled my and Daria's fake IDs, and the others didn't. Zheng Wenxian and Xiaoya became Yin Meina's secretary, and Daria became one of Yin Meina's bodyguards. Himself, Li Dazhen, and Tie Zhu are naturally one of the many guards. Xiaoya's son, under the resolute opposition of Kong Lingwen's parents, did not follow him back to China.
