Beiyang 1917

Chapter 5 Honorary Citizenship of New York

Wang Geng felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. The power of a single person in this era is too small. His speech at the press conference today seemed to be full of bold words, but the motherland standing behind him was so weak. If you don't become stronger, in front of others, no matter how brave you are, you may not be truly valued by others!

On the way back to the ward, this guy made a decision in his heart. He didn't have time to lie down and rest. Before going back to the military academy, he settled some of his own affairs first. He bit his ear and said a few words.

The girl was taken aback for a moment when she heard that, then she showed joy, nodded her head and said,

"No problem, it's all on me. I'll go and tell grandpa, I'll give you a quiet room to recuperate, and don't tell the idlers! It's only said that you are weak and need to rest."

Nurse Kaili has always been arrogant and cold, but she happens to be tall and beautiful, and her grandfather is the dean. There are a lot of young doctors in the hospital who are chasing Miss Kaili, but the glamorous female nurse just doesn't call. .

For some reason this time, when I met Wang Geng, I was first moved by his heroic deeds of sacrificing himself to save others, and then I found out many heroic deeds of Wang Geng in school from Mark Clark, such as football players, what A shooting champion, a master swimmer and so on.Now we've been so close together for half a day.

The young girl who has always been glamorous and arrogant seems to have unknowingly drawn her heart to this guy.

What Wang Geng said at the press conference just now, the words are upright and dignified, so that the girl Kaili, who has worshiped heroes and idols since she was a child, is staring at her eyes. Stay in the hospital and don't leave.

Now listening to Wang Geng telling himself that he hopes to recuperate in the hospital for a while to avoid being chased by the journalists outside, how could the girl not be happy, so she readily agreed!

Wang Geng changed floors at noon, from the intensive care ward on the fourth floor to the convalescent ward on the fifth floor. If it was according to Kaili's intentions, Wang Geng would have moved directly to his own home, since the house was empty anyway. More, and Wang Geng had a lot of things in his mind, so he really didn't dare to provoke this white girl at this time, it would be difficult to deal with gossip in the future, so he politely declined, and first made do with it in the convalescent ward of New York City Central Hospital .

This guy thought in his heart, in the hospital, it can be said that his body is weak and needs to be observed and recuperated. What do the students and instructors at West Point think when he moves to the beautiful nurse's house?The Chinese boy became a deserter from West Point, blindly hiding in the pile of fat powder?

Nima, although I, a graduate student of the National Defense University, don't take your 1917 West Point diploma seriously, but now that I have come to this era, I can't go back and tell the old Duan that a certain is from the future, and the national defense graduates are such nonsense?In the future, when I return to China, I will have to use the tiger skin of West Point!

After finishing lunch under the gentle eyes of nurse Kelly, Wang Geng asked Kelly to help him find all the newspapers published in New York recently, focusing on the international and domestic news pages and financial pages. The New York Times and The "Wall Street Journal" is not to be missed.

In the era of 1917, wireless radio stations were still in the experimental stage, and the source of news and information mainly relied on traditional media such as newspapers. Wang Geng wanted to carefully analyze whether the history of this time and space was the same as that of his previous life. Deviations have occurred.

The tree wanted to be quiet but the wind kept blowing. The news of the rescue hero's awakening spread throughout New York City. Just after noon, New York Mayor John Mitchell, who had just defeated his opponent for re-election, came to visit Wang Geng accompanied by the dean. In fact, this guy rushed to the hospital with the principal of West Point yesterday afternoon, but Wang Geng was unconscious at the time.

Early this morning, I received the news that the hero who rescued lives was awakened. The handsome John Mitchell, who became the youngest mayor in New York history four years ago and is only 38 years old this year, came to the hospital again. Well-informed photographer and journalist.

The meeting place was in the spacious office of the old dean Wilson. Obviously, Nurse Kelly used her grandfather again. After all, she just changed Wang Geng to a clean floor, and she was exposed to the sight of journalists in just half a day. .

Mayor John Mitchell is humorous and full of camera sense. After shaking hands and speaking enthusiastically, the mayor actually took out a bronze medal of honorary citizen of New York City from the small box opened by the attendant, and a signed The famous exquisite certificate, smiled to Wang Geng and said,

"Mr.wang, the city council meeting this morning is to discuss the provisional motion to award you an honorary citizen of New York and a certificate. Congratulations on your unanimous approval! I hope this honor can witness the sincere feelings between you and the people of New York. Your contribution to New York goes far beyond For this medal, to be honest, if the election for mayor of New York is held today, I might lose to your dark horse. Fortunately, you have to wait at least a year to run for mayor now!"

The witty media reporters burst out laughing. Wang Geng thought this guy's name was familiar, but he couldn't think of anything related to him in his previous life.

The guy accepted the certificate with a smile on his face, and let the young mayor hang the medal around his neck. The young hero held the certificate in one hand and held the same hand with the mayor's hand. When it was raised high, the flashlights of the media rang out, and the entire office was filled with smoke from the gas that rose from the burning of magnesium powder.

Before sending the mayor to the door, Wang Geng remembered that in his previous life, when he visited the New York City Hall with the military exchange delegation of the National Defense University, he had seen photos and introductions of the mayors of New York in history in the exhibition room. This John Mitchell Mayor What impressed me the most was not that he was the youngest mayor of New York, but that he died young.

The mayor in front of me, who is humorous, humorous and good at making jokes about the media, died a year later in a training skydiving accident in 1918. He fell from an airplane cabin at a low altitude of [-] feet, but the umbrella bag was not opened, so he was killed.

Although Wang Geng doesn't know whether the butterfly effect has already happened or whether it will happen in the future, he looks at a guy who makes you feel good and just awarded you the honorary citizen medal and certificate, dangling back and forth in front of him , this fellow couldn't help but wanted to remind him something, and finally this fellow shook hands to say goodbye to the mayor, and whispered in his ear, "Mayor, do you like skydiving?"

Mayor John Mitchell widened his eyes in surprise and said, "Wang, how do you know this? I'm about to sign up for paratrooper reserve training, but the city hall is too busy to make time!"

Wang Geng shook the mayor's hand tightly, hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but said softly,

"Mayor, please remember a little piece of advice from me. Before every skydive, be sure to check whether the parachute belt is attached to the cabin, and remember to check whether the seat belt is fixed before jumping. The people of New York don't want them The mayor of the United States abandoned them for such a small mistake!"

"Aha wang, it seems that your sense of humor has improved rapidly. Well, thank you for your advice. I must pay more attention. You are right. New Yorkers need me!" With a hearty smile, he patted Wang Geng on the shoulder to express his thanks, waved his hand, and left in a chic manner surrounded by the city government entourage and reporters.

Just as Wang Geng was about to leave with Kaili, the phone on the old dean's desk rang, and the two couldn't help but stop!
