Beiyang 1917
Chapter 11 The King's Wishful Thinking
Eleanor left a note with her address and phone number when she left. She will take her daughter back to Washington tomorrow. The child’s father and grandfather are anxious to see how baby Catherine is doing. Forgot to kindly invite Wang Geng, the little girl's savior, to be a guest at the little girl's home in Washington after being discharged from the hospital.
Wang Geng's action of carefully putting away the small note was caught by the nurse Kaili who had just entered the door. The girl couldn't help but feel sore. She thought that this guy had never inquired about my family's situation in front of me. See you now Others can even write small notes, nothing more than phone numbers and home addresses!
Of course Wang Geng saw that Kaili's complexion was not good-looking, and the guy didn't hide it, and said with a smile,
"The little girl's name is Catherine. Her mother invited me to visit their house after she recovers and is discharged from the hospital. If I don't agree, she won't leave. No, in order not to disturb your heart, I have no choice but to agree!"
Kaili pouted and said in her heart, the devil would believe that you agreed to be a guest at someone's house because of me. It was clear that she was caught by someone's beauty trick because she saw that the little girl's mother was so beautiful and pitiful.
The beautiful nurse felt a bit of sadness in her heart, but she didn't want to give up, she said faintly,
"Is it a note with a phone number and home address? Have you set the time and place for the appointment? Do you want me to call a car for Mr. Wang?" Kaili's eyes turned red, and she couldn't help but turned sideways, not wanting to let her Wang Geng saw it.
Wang Geng thought, what is wrong with this? Women are really unreasonable. Didn’t they say that women in the United States in the 20s were still very conservative and traditional? The jealousy of women in 1917 seems to be no worse than a century later. There is nothing I can do about it smiled and said,
"On the day I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll treat you to dinner. You can choose your favorite French meal or Italian food in Manhattan. If you don't think I'm poor at cooking, I'll cook you a few small dishes from my hometown. Is that okay?"
Here Kaili turned from anger to joy, she turned around and sniffed, looking at Wang Geng boldly with embarrassment and saying,
"What you say is true, you are not allowed to lie to me, or else I will chase you from all corners of the world to West Point and China to ask for this meal! What is the French feast of spaghetti? You can come to my house directly when the time comes. Let you experience the craftsmanship of my chef!"
At this time, Wang Geng just wanted to make the girl happy, so he dared to say no, he nodded in agreement, subconsciously touched his pocket again, and asked with a bitter face, can you return my wallet to me, I have to write some articles tonight , What can I do if I stay up late without cigarettes!
Kelly returned to her normal nurse state and was not moved at all. She turned her head and pointed at Wang Geng's forehead and said,
"You are now a recovering patient. Yesterday you jumped from such a high place and caught a cold. Both my grandfather and Short said that you are not allowed to smoke. This is a death order, so I took the wallet for you! Everything else is easy to say , this matter is not negotiable!"
Wang Geng raised his hands and surrendered, but he said in his heart, Nima, in my previous life, I was able to survive in the swampy swamps of Estonia. How could it be impossible to get cigarettes in a densely populated place like Metropolitan New York? Let's wait and see!
All afternoon, Wang Geng was obediently reading newspapers in the ward. Kelly collected almost all the newspapers published in New York City in the past week for him. Only my family can do it.
Wang Geng flipped through the newspapers and only read the news headlines on the front page and related reports on the financial page. He glanced at ten lines very quickly. Kelly thought that these newspapers would be enough for this guy to spend a day or two, but he didn't expect that he would read them all in the evening. Eighth, while watching this guy, I also made a lot of excerpts, and I used more than one notebook.
What surprised Kelly even more was that this guy not only read English and French newspapers at his fingertips, but also read several tabloid newspapers in Japanese and German with great interest. Forget it as a diplomatic interpreter.
After accompanying Wang Geng in the ward to finish the tasteless nutritious meal, a spoonful of mashed potatoes, a bowl of tomato soup, and a vegetarian sandwich with no minced meat, Kaili didn’t feel full at noon. Wang Geng, with eyes full of hunger, said embarrassedly,
"Grandpa is afraid that being too greasy will increase the burden on your stomach. After all, after jumping from such a high height, I don't know if the digestive system is damaged, so I need to observe it for a day or two, and I can't feed you too much!"
Wang Geng surrendered with a wry smile. Fortunately, Kaili soon got off work, and the beautiful nurse bid farewell to Wang Geng reluctantly. This reminded Wang Geng of the girl who was the deputy commander in his previous life, and his mood suddenly changed. Frustrated a lot.
After Kaili left, Wang Geng locked himself in the room, lay on the bed and continued to ponder:
Seeing that Wilson seems to have a good chance, at least being invited to visit the Treasury Secretary McAdoo's house in Washington is a sure thing. Energy is still limited.
The country is not strong, how can we expect diplomats to stand up in front of others, and the current Chinese cabinet changes faster than turning over a book. Father-in-law Lao Tang has stepped down, and secondly, Lao Yuan, who appreciated him and promoted him, himself died.
The position of this guy is obviously just a professional diplomat, who is close to any power in the country. Such a person's ability is quite good, but his courage and ambition are far from enough. You can make good use of it, and you can't blindly rely on it. In short, Gu Weijun probably doesn't even think about who to follow and what kind of path he will take.
As for Wilson, as long as he gets online, Wang Geng believes that he has the opportunity to impress the President of the United States, although the mainstream society in the American political circle will never take Wang Geng seriously , but now is the time when this guy is desperately ill and rushing to the doctor, maybe I can really find some chance to impress him and push the United States to join the war as soon as possible.
As a Chinese cadet of the West Point Military Academy, I am neither the spokesperson of the forces in the United States nor the Chinese government, so Wilson will not feel that he has ulterior motives.
As for the killer weapon of penicillin, Wang Geng thought that since Eleanor's husband is the Minister of Finance, let's see if there is a chance to directly use him to catch Mellon or Rockefeller, any big consortium in the United States will do, of course Andrew Mellon is First choice, banks, pharmaceutical research and development, steel, shipbuilding, and chemical industry are doing everything, which is obviously the largest potential consortium in the United States.
Naturally, the American consortium is a capital crocodile and a monster, and it has to take precautions to prevent and control the patent right in advance, otherwise it will be eaten by people who will tear down the bridge and don't know what's going on.
According to Wang Geng's plan, it is to let the President of the United States, his cabinet, and these consortiums see the potential huge value of China. The population of China in this era is four times that of the United States. Whether it is from the perspective of market or resources , There is no reason for the United States not to attach importance to China in its Asian strategy!
Japan is an ally of the United Kingdom. In fact, it has formed competition and threats to the existence of the United States in the Asia-Pacific in all aspects. In fact, during World War II in the previous world, only the Japanese navy and air force could compete with the United States within a certain period of time. The United States is now facing Japan. China's appeasement policy is nothing more than not wanting to push the little devil to the Allies!
The United Kingdom adopted a strategy of restriction and balance in the European continent. The United States is actually the same in the Asia-Pacific. Japan is also a little brother supported by the United Kingdom to offset the power of the United States. The British and Japanese men and women who were born in island countries actually spent their honeymoon together until World War II. Life!
The earlier collusion and friendship can be traced back at least to the Opium War and the Eight-Power Allied Forces. It should be noted that when the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing, the main force was more than 2 people from the little devils!
For Wang Geng himself, he hopes to lay a good political and economic foundation in the United States before returning to China. It seems like a fantasy, but it may not be impossible. Whether it is the warlords or local forces in China at this time, behind them are Great powers are supporting and meddling.
When China is unified and strong, there must be a stage of keeping a low profile. In the past, Goujian knew how to sacrifice his courage. Now that China is divided, the people are still ignorant. Why do you have the confidence to drive imperialism and all running dogs out of China? what?
Wang Geng hopes that he will have the opportunity to become an agent of the interests of the United States in China in the future. It does not matter whether it is overt or covert. Among the Western powers, it was the first country to abolish the Boxer Treaty, and it also used indemnities as funds for the development of modern education in China. Whether it was the Tsinghua Academy or the young children studying in the United States, they were all beneficiaries of that policy.
Of course, Chinese laborers have shed their blood and sweat in the development of the western United States, but they have also indirectly helped improve China's education and economic development. Only when they went abroad and cut their braids did the Chinese people who were one step ahead know what the world is like!
As long as he can get the support of the United States, Wang Geng is not worried at all that he will not be able to deal with Lao Duan after returning to China. According to Wang Geng's thinking, he intends to help Lao Duan not only fool the little devil's loan, but also fool the American devil's investment. It is enough to form three divisions in China. The main event is that he plans to use the chicken to lay eggs, and directly hit his idea on the 20 Chinese laborers who will be sent to the European battlefield in the future!
With the wings of my own butterfly, the end of World War I might be brought forward!At that time, my 20 laborers will become 20 expeditionary forces and return to China!At the Paris peace conference, it was seen that little Japan dared to make strong arguments to dominate Qingdao and Shandong? !
Wang Geng, who had made up his mind, got up from the bed and remembered that he wanted to write an article for Gu Weijun on how to use Zimmerman's telegrams. He habitually fumbled for nothing in his pockets. Damn, how can you stay up late without a cigarette!
Opening the window and looking around, the street lamps on the street were flickering dimly. Looking at the scattered street lamps, the guy rolled his eyes and thought of someone. He went back to the desk and wrote a Stick it in your pocket!
Wang Geng planned to use this piece of paper to pry a key person, and then make the idea to another company, and finally use the cooperation with the two to catch a big fish!
The fellow turned around and made the quilt into a human shape on the bed, wrapped a windbreaker over the hospital gown, put on a hat, turned off the light, turned over and climbed out of the window!
Wang Geng's action of carefully putting away the small note was caught by the nurse Kaili who had just entered the door. The girl couldn't help but feel sore. She thought that this guy had never inquired about my family's situation in front of me. See you now Others can even write small notes, nothing more than phone numbers and home addresses!
