Chapter 761: Family and country affairs (third update, please subscribe)

Accidents always come so suddenly.

The news that Truman was about to visit Southeast Asia soon spread back to China through the ambassador in Washington.

Li Nian certainly welcomed Truman's visit.

After all, these are old friends.

"Do you need any special preparations?"

Li Guoren asked. As the chief of foreign affairs, he knew that this was an extremely important foreign affairs event for Nanyang. After all, Truman's visit was not only the first foreign leader to visit Nanyang, he was also the Blue Star The leader of the number one overlord.

There is no doubt that Blue Star is the leader of the Western world in 1952.

"Need not,"

Li Yian shook his head and said.

But what are they planning now?

Well... Nanyang universities have flush toilets, and people also have semiconductor radios in their homes, and even televisions have begun to enter thousands of households.

Li Guoren thought for a while and said.

Li Yian was naturally very curious about this.

"Guoren, why do you think Harry came to Nanyang for a visit at this time?"

"They came here to cheer us up, or in other words, in this way, they showed the world that the United States values ​​its relations with Nanyang."

"There is no need to make any special preparations, just show them the most direct and authentic side of Nanyang."

After all, Truman's purpose of coming here this time must be his. He traveled thousands of miles to come to Nanyang, and he definitely didn't come here to have fun or feel the enthusiasm of Nanyang.

For the visits of foreign leaders, do they specially plan routes, provide elaborate receptions, and even specially distribute semiconductor radios to the people, or install flush toilets in university dormitories?

"Well, it should be to win over."

"Judging from the fact that Commissioner Liu visited Russia in a private capacity, but Russia sent Khrushchev to receive him at a high standard, it seems that Russia's intention to win over us is Sima Zhao's. Under such circumstances, the United States will naturally have to express something."

As the Minister-General of Foreign Affairs, of course he knows that equal reception is the basic principle in diplomatic activities, and a reception that exceeds the standard not only means that the other party attaches importance to it, but also shows that the other party has a "conspiracy."

"The Peninsula War is about to end, and the situation in Asia will undergo fundamental changes. Tangshan... because of its defeat of the United Nations Army, the prestige it has gained is unprecedented. Tangshan's subsequent diplomatic offensive is bound to have many consequences in Southeast Asia and even the world. Under such circumstances, the challenges and threats we face are also unprecedented, and Truman..."

Compared with receiving Truman, Li Nian was more concerned about the background of his visit.

Feeling relieved, Li Yian asked again.

There is nothing special to prepare, it is just to let him taste the delicious food from Nanyang. Well, it is similar to Tangshan, and even many ingredients are imported from Tangshan.

What to prepare?

There is no need to prepare anything at all.

Looking at His Excellency who remained silent, Li Guoren said.

Li Guoren's judgment made Li Yian nod with satisfaction. Although Nanyang has just become a member of the international stage, diplomats have initially grasped the essence of "Cold War diplomacy". This essence is that everyone will release it through some actions. Signal.

"Is there any other intention?"

"That's pretty much it!"

Li Yian raised the corners of his mouth and said.

"So, this time, Truman will not come empty-handed. Well, it should bring some benefits. This benefit... is quite exciting!"

Definitely something to look forward to.

Even after Li Guoren left, he was still looking forward to what kind of gift Truman would send.

Truman, as an old friend of Nanyang, has always been very generous to Nanyang. It would definitely be more generous to come to the door in person for the first time.

"Next year, your tenure will come to an end. Harry, what kind of leaving gift will you give me?"

hiss……

Li Yian held the cigar in his mouth and smoked slowly and fiercely. After taking a strong puff, the smoke did not enter his lungs. Instead, it circulated around in his mouth and finally spit it out. In fact, the smoke did not enter his lungs. , Li Yian smokes cigars, that is, just like that, take a puff and just taste the aroma of the cigar.

Li Yian is looking forward to the gift from his old friend. After all, as a friend, how can you not have expectations?
Will we further increase assistance?

Obviously it is unrealistic. The United States' annual expenditure on the peninsula now reaches tens of billions of dollars. Such heavy expenditure has long caused dissatisfaction in the United States. Under such circumstances, it is obviously not feasible to increase aid. Reality.

In fact, Li Yian is mentally prepared for a 20% reduction in aid next year.

Of course, after shrinking, things will definitely happen. For example, Myanmar can also turn red.

In short, the Americans must see the cost of cutting aid to Nanyang. In this case, what gift would Harry give?
"It's hard to guess a man's thoughts!"

While sighing, Li Yian turned around to prepare for work, and suddenly saw a familiar figure in the corner of his eye.

Li Yixuan walked in front, and Margaret followed him, walking in from the side leading to the garden from the study.

Seeing his wife's son, Li Yian couldn't help but smile. He took the initiative to open the window and said:

"Let's go outside and talk. The room smells heavy of smoke."

While speaking, Li Yian walked slowly towards his wife and son.

But Margaret said seriously.

"My dear, I have something very important to discuss with you today!"

As she spoke, she turned her attention to her son, Li Yixuan, who was not yet six years old, and followed her mother's words.

"Yes, it's very important, Dad!"

After saying that, he looked at his father eagerly, like a little adult, serious and serious.

"Oh?"

Seeing their serious looks, Li Yian also became serious.

"It does seem important, um, okay."

"That's it, dear, our child, Yixuan."

Margaret said in a serious tone.

"He's almost six years old and it's time for him to get an education."

"Yes, that's right."

Li Yian said quickly.

"It really should be,"

Looking at his son standing aside solemnly, Li Yian realized that it was time for his son to go to school.

"So, I have something to discuss with you about his education."

Margaret said.

"I know that as a member of the royal family, you should receive a systematic education. Just like Lily and I, we learned history, art, vocal music, philosophy, constitution and other subjects from our tutors... We must strictly abide by them every day. The tutors and nannies set strict rules: they could only play with one toy at a time, and they also needed to experience doing work such as washing clothes and doing needlework.”

Standing in front of her husband, Margaret talked about the education she had received while looking at her son.

"Although Lily and I were able to communicate proficiently in English, French and German when we were seven years old, my later experiences told me that the so-called palace education I received was completely useless and had no practical value. "

Because she had the experience of "running away from home", Margaret knew very well what she learned in the court - except etiquette, she learned nothing else.

"I don't know what chemistry is, what physics is, or even modern science. In short, I am almost ignorant. I don't want our son to receive such an education, although...he does receive such an education. educate."

Just as Margaret said - Li Yixuan is also receiving a similar education. Like other children, he must abide by the strict management of the tutor, including history, art, vocal music, philosophy, constitution, etc. Understand something.

This is of course influenced by Margaret, or Margaret was influenced by her childhood education and passed it on to her son. But now, Margaret is trying to "fight" for her son. What.

"So, what?"

"Our kids need to go to school."

Margaret's tone seemed very serious, and Li Yixuan on the side also followed suit.

"Yes, Dad, I hope to go to school like Mingxuan and the others. I mean real schools, those national schools, not tutors."

Seeing his wife and son looking serious, Li Yian pursed his lips and looked at them pretending to be deep, "Well..."

When they were a little nervous, Li Yian said.

"I think so!"

It’s not just a feeling, but a necessity. After all, there is never any small matter in children’s education.

This is especially true for Nanyang. In essence, his son is likely to become the heir to his own business in the future. At that time, he will inherit not only those businesses, but also the country.

In this case, his education is very important, after all, it is related to the future of the entire country.

Therefore, he must receive an ordinary education, because only an ordinary education can allow him to understand ordinary people without feeling separated from ordinary people.

"So, he should go to a national school for education."
