PS：

In the previous chapter, it was written that "Oscar I" was actually "Oscar II", which has been revised.

——

The scientists left.

"Whew~"

Lu Shi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief,

"Finally ......"

The farce is finally over.

Tolstoy came over on crutches, laughing,

"Lu, you're a great writer."

Probably because the dust has settled on the Nobel Prize in Literature, Toon has been more comfortable recently, and he looks a lot younger.

Moreover, his body seems to be a little tougher,

Lu Shi couldn't help but think of Victoria,

Because of herself, the queen lived a little longer,

Hopefully, the same law applies to Tolstoy.

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"Toon, if others praise me, I will accept it, but if you say that, I dare not respond."

Tolsta laughed and patted Lu Shi's shoulder, his eyes full of support and love for his juniors,

He said: "Lu, I say that you are great because of the special group of readers you can influence. Look at those scientists just now~ They reacted like that, which shows that your "Chaowen Dao" really has the power to move people's hearts. ”

Lu Shi was dumbfounded,

"Stained with the light of the subject."

At the beginning of the 20th century, the theme of science fiction was still a wild place, and people watched it fresh.

After that, it's not easy to write a sensational work.

Tolstoy pondered for a moment,

"Lu, have you ever thought about writing some serious works?"

Lu Shi was silent,

In Toon's eyes, he writes so many best-selling books, and he writes whatever is popular, more or less it will seem like a loser.

Tolstoy saw through his thoughts,

"You...... I think it's a pity. I hope that one day in the future, you will also win the Nobel Prize in Literature. ”

After speaking, he waved his hand,

"Forget it, I'm redundant to say this. Judging by your attitude, eighty percent of them don't look down on the Nobel Prize. Hahaha......"

Toon laughed again.

At this moment, someone leaned over,

"Toon, don't say that."

The crowd looked over.

It was Lonner Sollman who spoke.

He shook hands warmly with Lu Shi,

"Professor Lu."

Lu Shi responded: "Mr. Sauerman." ”

The people around them left in acknowledgment, leaving the space for the two of them.

Sollman smiled wryly, "Professor Lu, you can hurt me so badly. Because of the previous incident, our first Nobel Prize was almost not awarded. ”

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"Let him pass the past."

He really didn't want to bother with it.

The two walked slowly through the garden,

Grass withering,

Those once bright and dazzling flowers are now only bare branches, standing limply in the cold wind.

Sauerman said in a low voice: "You really can't complain about that matter, we have to consider some practical ...... Not...... By the way, when you were chatting with Professor Monson before, you mentioned some literary giants, including the French writer Emile Zola, right? ”

Lu Shi nodded,

"Yes."

"Actually, we thought about him," Saulman explained. ”

Lu Shi asked, "Then?" ”

Saulman sighed,

"You should know that Mr. Zola is currently on the run in the United States...... Forehead...... I mean, sojourn. He lived in the United States, and we had the difficulty of crossing him off the shortlist because of the geography. ”

Lu Shi groaned,

I have the impression that there is such a thing.

In 1898, Zola threw himself into the fight for justice for Dreyfus, an officer of Jewish descent, who had been wronged, and was persecuted and exiled to the United States.

On the surface, Saulman uses Zola as an example, but in fact he is talking about Tolstoy,

What he means is,

Toon was far away in Russia, and his personal freedom was restricted by the Tsar, so he was not considered for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

This explanation is reasonable.

At this time, the two came to the door,

Saulman was very dogged to help Lu Shi open the door,

"Please."

Lu Shi looked at the other party and said in a low voice: "Mr. Solman, you should say this to Toon. ”

Saulman embarrassment,

"Of course, of course ......"

They chatted and entered the restaurant.

Because of the incident of "Chaowen Dao", everyone almost didn't eat breakfast, and the time was close to noon, so they each took hot food and ate a lot.

Saulman once again played the dogleg trait,

"Professor Lu, haven't you eaten yet?"

He first helped Lu Shi scoop a bowl of corn soup, and then piled food on his plate.

When the land is full of black lines,

￣□￣｜｜

Because the other party actually took Swedish herring for himself.

A strong smell pervades the air.

Lu Shi said: "Mr. Sollman, if you have anything, just say it." ”

The other party is explaining and serving,

With such a low profile, it is obvious that he has a request for himself.

Saulman smiled,

"Sit down and talk."

They went to a corner table and sat down.

Lu Shi said: "Please be open and honest. ”

Saulman nodded,

"Professor Lu, you seem to know Kaiser Wilhelm?"

Lu Shi said "um",

"On the Isle of Wight, I had a one-sided relationship with His Majesty the Emperor."

This is the truth and the falsehood,

Lu Shi first knew about Wilhelm II, in fact, because of this person's famous opinion -

Gelbe Gefahr。

This is in German, which translates to "Yellow Peril".

Therefore, Lu Shi did not have any good impression of this emperor.

Seeing Lu Shi's indifference, Saulmann couldn't help but grow his head for a while, and scolded Wilhelm II a hundred times in his heart.

But he can only bite the bullet,

"Professor Lu, His Majesty the Emperor wants to ...... with you Forehead...... Would like to meet you after dinner. ”

Lu Shi raised his eyebrows,

"If I'm not mistaken, Stockholm was ruled by King Oscar, right?"

This is a preface that does not match the afterword,

Saulman was confused,

"What...... What? ”

Lu Shi said: "You just have to answer." ”

Sollmann replied helplessly: "Yes, Stockholm is of course under King Oscar, and at the same time, he is also the king of Norway." He is the most powerful man in all of Scandinavia, to name it. ”

Lu Shi smiled,

"The most powerful...... Why, then, was Kaiser Wilhelm allowed to call the shots in Stockholm? ”

The atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

On the surface, it is calm, but in fact it is like a frozen lake on a cold winter night, and the cold is biting.

Others can't see it, but Saulman, who is sitting across from him, knows best.

The invisible pressure made him feel overwhelmed.

He said, "No...... I mean...... That one...... I didn't say it was an order. ”

Lu Shi showed a sudden expression,

"That's the invitation~"

Saulman nodded,

"That's right! Yeah! It's an invitation! It's an invitation! ”

Lu Shi said: "Then I refuse." ”

“……”

“……”

“……”

An eerie silence hung between the two.

Saulman wanted to cry without tears,

Lu Shi, this person, do you want to be so difficult!?

He persuaded: "Professor Lu, I know what you are disgusted with, but His Majesty the Emperor is indeed sincerely invited, so please look at my ......."

I wanted to say,

"For my sake, please".

But if you think about it carefully, in front of Lu Shi, it seems that you don't have any face at all.

Sollmann added: "You see Mr. Tolstoy's face......"

Interrupted by land,

"Do you know Toon well?"

"Ah......h

Saulman was speechless again.

Lu Shi continued: "Besides, if Toon is replaced by me, he will definitely not accept the invitation. ”

Tolstoy was always oppressed by Tsar Nicholas II,

Nicholas II and Wilhelm II were rats in a stinking ditch, and since 1895 they have been in constant correspondence and exchange on the so-called "Yellow Peril".

Saulman pumped himself in the back of his heart,

Say who is bad?

Just say Tolstoy!

The old man who looks down on some bastard emperors the most......

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"That's the end of it."

In order not to say anything more to the other party, he picked up a piece of food with a fork and put it into his mouth.

I didn't expect it to be a herring, and my face turned green all of a sudden.

Saulman helpless,

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you."

He got up and left the dining room, thinking about how to deal with Wilhelm II.

Surprisingly, neither Wilhelm II nor Oscar II left, just waiting outside,

Wilhelm II asked: "What was the result?" ”

"Scared!"

Sauhrmann was startled.

Wilhelm II frowned and said, "How did you be surprised?" The result? ”

Saulman snorted, not knowing how to answer.

Looking at him, Wilhelm II still doesn't know the result.

He looked at the dining room,

His eyes were locked on Lu Shi's body, and his eyes were full of complexity.

Oscar II said: "Kaiser Wilhelm, there are some things that cannot be forced. ”

Here's the advice,

Of course, there is also the meaning of admonition.

Wilhelm II frowned and looked at "the most powerful man in all of Scandinavia" around him.

Oscar II seems to have changed,

He looked like a simple and harmless person before, but at this time, he showed the temperament of a superior person.

Under this king, Sweden industrialized and developed rapidly.

Even if you usually look at Mr. Yes, how can you be a weakling?

Wilhelm II groaned,

"King Oscar means ......"

Oscar II did not answer directly, but said to him: "Kaiser Wilhelm, do you know that the Nobel Prize also has a peace prize?" During the awarding period, I do not want anything to happen that goes against Mr. Nobel's last wishes. ”

After a pause, he added, "I can't control anywhere else." But in Sweden, in Stockholm...... Humph......"

There is no need to say the rest of the story.

"Hmmm......"

Wilhelm II took a deep breath,

Again, he looked at Lu Shi in the restaurant, and said for a long time: "King Oscar is right, during the award ceremony, there should be no going against Mr. Nobel's wishes, this is a respect for the deceased." ”

He stretched,

"The invitation should still be sincere. I know what to do. ”

Sauermann and Oscar II looked at each other,

Both hearts relaxed.

This Nobel Prize is really full of twists and turns.

Sollman whispered, "Two Majestices, then we leave now?" ”

Wilhelm II stayed not at the Grand Hotel Stockholm, but at the Royal Palace of Stockholm.

Most of the kings of continental Europe were related by blood, so it was normal for Wilhelm II to visit as relatives, and to stay in Oscar II's house.

The three of them walked towards the gate.

Wilhelm II said: "It seems that the Peace Prize was mentioned just now? ”

"Yes, this time we are going to give the prize to Mr. Frédéric Passy of France, founder of the Inter-Parliamentary Coalition for Arbitration and Peace," Sauhrmann said. ”

Wilhelm II's brows furrowed,

"The Parliamentary Union?"

Although this international organization has only been established for less than three years, it has caused many problems for Germany.

Saulman quickly diverted the topic,

"And then there's Mr. Henry Dunant of Switzerland."

Wilhelm II nodded,

"I know that man, founder of the International Committee of the Red Cross, right?"

……

In the restaurant,

Lu Shi was worried about the herring in front of him.

At this time, a voice came: "The smell of Swedish herring is very unique. However, once you get used to the smell, you'll find that it has a captivating charm. ”

Lu Shi turned his head,

In front of me are two bearded men,

One of them was older, with a beard like a waterfall that hung over his neck and down to his chest.

Lu Shi recognized him at a glance,

Somewhere in Zurich, Switzerland, among the pines and cypresses, stands a white marble monument,

The relief on the front of the monument is a warrior kneeling down to feed water to a wounded soldier who is on the verge of death.

A few lines are engraved on the back of the stele:

Jean-Henri Dunant,

1828~1910，

Founder of the Red Cross.

Lu Shi stretched out his hand,

"Mr. Dunant."

Dunant shook hands with him with a smile and said, "Professor Lu really knows me. ”

As for the other one with a shorter beard, Lu Shi also had some impressions, but he couldn't remember who it was.

The other person introduced himself: "Frederick Passy." ”

Lu Shi suddenly,

Parsi is the founder of the International Peace League,

The League of Nations is the predecessor of the United Nations, which was established after World War II.

Of course, the League of Nations was the "fruit" of the First World War, and Passy is now one of the three presidents of the Parliamentary League for Arbitration and Peace.

Both men won the first Nobel Peace Prize.

Lu Shi couldn't help but think of Philip,

Patek Philippe had prepared a pocket watch, and Philip was afraid that he would have a headache.

Patsy asked, "Professor Lu, can we sit down?" ”

Lu Shi nodded again and again,

"Of course."

He had great respect for these pioneers of humanitarianism.

In particular, Dunant, although he was a businessman, opened up a great cause that was famous all over the world and benefited all mankind, and was revered as the "father of the Red Cross".

Patsy and Dunant were seated separately.

Dunant looked at the herring,

"Professor Lu, you can eat it with yogurt or oatmeal to reduce its smell."

This stalk can't be bypassed.

Lu Shi pushed the dinner plate aside and diverted the topic,

"Mr. Dunant, why did you just say that I knew you?"

Dunant chuckled,

"You forgot this?"

He took out a clipping from the Mirror and handed it over.

——

To date, the Boer War has been going on for two whole years.

at Maflotin and Kimberley, at Ladysmith and Dundee, at the Eswatini border, at the Basuto border in the Caledon Valley......

We lost more than seven thousand people.

……

At this time, this newspaper thought of an organization-

British Red Cross.

So, we organized an international business summit, and at the same time, it was also a charity association, hoping that the benevolent people would donate generously.

And they are indeed not stingy people.

——

Lu Shi suddenly.

This was reported by the Mirror when it first held a "tender" for advertising space.

Dunant said, "Professor Lu, a thousand pounds is not a small amount. ”

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"The Chinese Confucian classic, Mencius, in one of the chapters of "Dedication to Hearts", says, 'If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world'. There is also an ancient Indian proverb, 'The hand that gives a rose to a man will still have a lingering fragrance'. I'm also happy to be able to help others. ”

Dunant chewed on these two sentences repeatedly,

The heart says,

is worthy of being a great writer, and he can quote scriptures when he speaks.

He smiled and said, "Professor Lu, you are too modest. ”

Lu Shi shook his head,

"What better place can you be in terms of modesty?"

In order to escape the distractions of the world, Dunant locked himself in an isolated life.

It wasn't until 1895, when Dunant was spotted by reporters near a nursing home where Hayden lived, that belated praise poured in from around the world, including the nomination of him as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Dunant was praised by the young people and was very happy,

"Hahaha...... I'm not as good as you say. ”

He drank as if disguised,

The water ran down his beard and damped his chest for a small while.

For a long time, he restrained his smile,

"Professor Lu, I came to you this time mainly to express my gratitude. It's just that you were surrounded by those 'crazy people' just now, and I really can't intervene. ”

"Madmen" refers to scientists.

Among the Nobel Prizes, the Peace Prize is slightly different from other prizes,

Bodies for other awards,

Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences,

Karolinska Institute,

Swedish Academy.

All three are professional bodies.

Only the Peace Prize is chosen by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, so the nominees are somewhat out of place with the others.

Dunant took out a box from his bosom,

"This is a compliment to Professor Lu."

As he spoke, he slowly opened the box as he turned it face up.

Inside lies a medallion,

The body of the chapter is a white enamel gold-rimmed equal-arm cross, the center of the cross is a small disc, and in the middle of the disc is a red enamel cross on a white background.

The badge is topped with a gold ring, a hanging ring, and a flat, triangular horizontal pendant attached to the ribbon.

Lu Shi groaned,

"It's not for me personally, it's a medal for the Mirror."

Dunant waved his hand,

"Professor Lu, the "Mirror" is you, and you are the "Mirror", this is a well-known thing in the world."

As he spoke, he closed the lid of the box and stuffed it into Lu Shi's hand.

"Take it! Be sure to take it! ”

It would be rude to shirk it any further.

Lu Shi took it.

After that, he looked at Patcy next to him and asked, "Mr. Patsy, are you looking for me?" ”

Patsy took a deep breath,

"Professor Lu, would you like to work part-time in the Parliamentary Alliance for Arbitration and Peace?"

Lu Shi was a little confused when he heard it,

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a job offer.

I forgot to set a scheduled update.,Released it directly...

Tomorrow there will be no more during the day
