Chapter one hundred and seventy-ninth take the initiative to invite
"Yes." The medical officer agreed and hurried over to check Meng Fanjie. After he was done, he came back and reported that it was nothing serious. He was just a little weak after not eating or drinking for a few days. He could regain his energy after going back to eat something, drink something and then sleep.
.
Tang Ji sent the driver to drive Meng Fanglia back to Jiqipo in his own car. He also said that there were two bags of rice and a box of canned American beef in the back compartment, which would be used to supplement the captain's nutrition.
"A filial son, a filial son, you are such a good boy. If something like this happens again in the future, come to me and ask why you want to be a deserter nun?" Long Wenwen heard Tang Ji muttering behind him as he led people away.
Mi Long turned back and glanced at Tang Ji: "Why do I think this old guy is just pretending to be compassionate?"
Bula said: "This old loach is not easy to deal with Nai."
Ayi said: "No way, you are overthinking."
Milong glanced at him: "Really?"
Long Wenwen took off his helmet and scratched his slightly itchy scalp: "Yu Xiaoqing has suffered a few losses and is now a good learner. When encountering problems that cannot be solved, she knows how to move Tang Ji out and make peace with her."
Veterinarian Hao walked at the back with his hands behind his back: "Fengla has been saved. What Goose wants to know most now is what Lin Yue is doing. Do you think Americans are more difficult to deal with than British people?"
Long Wenwen frowned and said, "Do you think he knew something would happen to Meng Fan, so he left such a letter?"
Dong Dao said: "It's possible."
…
When the cannon fodders were happy that Meng Fan was out of danger safely, in a villa built by the water on the other side of the ocean, the first lady looked out the window with an angry face, and the servants and staff lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
She is very beautiful and has great temperament, but at this moment, Xiang, who is known for her grace and nobility, lights a cigarette for herself and smokes it like an ordinary woman who has been wronged.
Lin Yue just came back from outside, and someone told him about the current situation.
The first lady is not angry because today's speech did not go well. On the contrary, during her stay in the United States, she has been warmly welcomed by everyone from the president and his wife to ordinary people. The reason why she frowned and smoked a cigarette today was because
It's because of the visit of the British Prime Minister.
Although the two countries have now formed a military alliance, the high-level relationship is very delicate. Affected by the appeasement policy of former Prime Minister Chamberlain, China has grievances against the British. Not long ago, it was unhappy because of the deception of HK and the expeditionary force. First,
My wife declined the invitation from the British Empire and now came to the United States. Except for a few days of living in the White House, she spent the rest of her time in New York.
Recently, Churchill brought people to visit the United States. Now he is on business in Washington. In order to repair Sino-British relations and end misunderstandings, Roosevelt proposed that the two of them meet. It is a very meaningful thing for China, Britain, the United States and the world.
However, the obstacle that stood between the two was that Churchill did not call to invite. The Chinese people felt that this was too disrespectful because the First Lady did not hold an official position. According to Western social etiquette, Churchill, as a man, should take the initiative to lower his stature.
Although the committee hopes that she can put aside her past grievances, put the overall situation first, and meet with the British Prime Minister, but with her aggressive and competitive attitude, it is basically impossible.
Okay.
Some people are unhappy about the First Lady's refusal to visit the UK, while others are angry about Churchill's rudeness. As a world power responsible for fighting the Japanese aggressors, it actually gets into trouble with issues left over from history.
"Madam, if you agree, why don't I go and pay a visit to Mr. Churchill first?"
Everyone in the hall was stunned. They did not expect that Lin Yue would take the initiative to invite Ying to see the Prime Minister who was known to have a bad temper. It was said that his previous political performance was quite poor. If it were not for his tough attitude towards Germany, he would never have become the Prime Minister of the British Empire.
Mr. Gu said: "I agree with Lieutenant Colonel Lin to meet Churchill."
Although there are several diplomats in the hall who have dealt with European and American people in the past, considering Brigadier Victor's evaluation of Lin Yue and his actions in Burma, Churchill should not be too embarrassed for a young man who is kind to his own people.
people.
Mr. Song said: "I think it would be better to take the path of Foreign Secretary Halifax."
The first lady put out the cigarette between her fingers in the ashtray.
"Are you confident you can convince Churchill to concede?"
"I'm almost half sure. Brigadier General Victor and Mr. Churchill had a working relationship. When we were in Burma, we had a conversation about the Prime Minister of the British Empire."
She thought seriously: "Okay, I will send someone to take you to Washington tomorrow."
…
The next day in the afternoon.
Washington, where Churchill stayed.
The waiter let Lin Yue into a living room, served him a cup of coffee, and closed the door behind him when he left.
Lin Yue took a sip of coffee, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the small flowers dotted in the green with a smile. The leaves of the maple tree opposite were not yet red, and the fountain occasionally broadcast a stream of crystal water, attracting several stunning looks.
.
The land of China is raging with war, and the British Isles are isolated overseas. Half of East Asia has planted the flag of the sun, while Europe has surrendered to the torrent of iron and steel of Japan. Only this land is still peaceful, children are playing outdoors, and women are peaceful.
Guard your homeland, with the Stars and Stripes waving in the wind on the top of the tower, like a paradise.
He stared for a long time, so long that he didn't hear the sound of the door opening, until a man stood in front of the window and looked side by side with him.
It was an old man with only sparse white hair on his head. His face was a bit baby-fat. He was wearing a black jacket with a white shirt underneath. There was a butterfly knot with white spots on the collar. He looked droopy.
He is old, but he is in good spirits. His eyes are not sharp but they are full of energy.
"What are you looking at?"
Lin Yue turned his head and glanced at the person who came, and said without being rigidly polite: "Victory."
"victory?"
"Yes, victory."
Churchill pulled out a cigar and handed it to him.
Lin Yue waved his hand and declined the British Prime Minister's kindness.
Churchill didn't care. He put the cigar into his mouth and waved to the sofa next to him: "Sit down, Mr. Lin."
Lin Yue walked over and sat down.
Churchill sat opposite him, took a puff of his cigar and said, "Mr. Lin, on behalf of the British Empire, I would like to thank you for what you have done in northern Myanmar."
Lin Yue said: "You're welcome, this is my duty as a Chinese soldier."
Churchill smiled and said: "Yesterday I received the news that you were coming. I specifically asked someone to contact Brigadier General Victor. He spoke highly of you and even jokingly said that if you could serve the British Empire, this war would be better.
Maybe it’s over already.”
Lin Yue smiled and waved his hand: "Brigadier General Victor is overly commendable, but it's just empty talk on paper."
"Oh, really?" Churchill walked to the wine cabinet, took down a bottle of whiskey and two glasses, put ice cubes in them, poured in a similar proportion of wine, and walked back to the sofa: "I don't think so.
