Chapter 53 Ambassador Pierson: I Have Jeweler's Eyes

The embassy and consular district in Berlin, Prussia is not far from the parliament and the cabinet prime minister's office, just on the west side of Linton Street, Attendant.

Why built here?

Because, this is the fastest place for countries to explore the latest news in Prussia.

The Dutch Embassy in Prussia is also located here.

It is actually half an hour away from the palace here. Of course, it is common to take shortcuts.

Especially the current popular figure in the Dutch Embassy in Prussia, Arger Robben, full-time first-class secretary of Ambassador Pearson, the highest power.

He is very familiar with this road.

But at this moment, his face was full of nervousness and anxiety.

He picked up the pocket watch on his chest and looked at the hour hand above, his face revealing even more dissatisfaction.

"It's already past night. The Prussian King William I and Prime Minister Bismarck really came to the palace to meet in the middle of the night. This is a very rare thing in diplomatic history."

Arger Robben thought carefully: There have not been many major events recently, especially those involving Prussia and the Netherlands. Apart from the Three Kingdoms Agreement last month, there seems to be no other problems.

However, all the conditions and obligations of the trilateral agreement are clearly recorded in the text, and there should be no more trouble.

He really couldn't figure it out. Why do he need to find Ambassador Pearson so late?

However, when he thought of Pearson, his restless heart calmed down instantly.

It was really the subversive theories that Pearson brought to him that shocked him so much that he came in. What was overwhelming worship.

Three years ago, after graduating from the University of The Hague, Alger Robben entered the government department and became an ordinary third-level secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he served tea and water to do odd jobs.

Later, he was attracted by a foreign minister, Lu Ford, and became his assistant. It was from that time that he had experience dating with his current boss Pearson and finally became his person.

At that time, Luford was in trouble and was in the trough of his life. As far as he knew, this matter was related to the Grand Duchy of Württemberg of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Luford was within Pearson's influence at that time, and his level was one level lower.

One night, the Minister Pearson of Württemberg who came back to report his work, actually came to Luford's office. Later I learned that it was his stop to come back from Wurttemberg to seek talents and resources, in order to bring more people to participate in the diplomatic consolidation of the Principal of Württemberg and intend to train candidates to take over the position of minister.

However, as Pearson said later, choosing people depends on loyalty. He wants to leave Württemberg, but Württemberg has been marked with his mark, which belongs to him. In the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, no other opponents can be allowed to plunder the wealth he has built.

Sure enough, successful people have no luck.

Shortly after this trip, his boss, Lufothed, soon became the Minister of Württemberg, and he became the acting secretary of the popular figure of the Dutch Foreign Ministry.

His job is to take care of this big man who was originally only a visiting person.

But at first he didn't know that there was a "deal" between Luford and Pearson, so he was in a bad mood and was not keen on work.

And he soon discovered that Pearson, as the Foreign Ministry had long rumored, was a bastard who liked to give orders. The former minister often opened the bathroom door and stood in a squat position and urinated while working.

He has a young and handsome face, but he is a very crazy person in the studio.

But workaholics have always been what Alger Robben dislikes the most.

Seeing him standing and peeing in the bathroom in the office, keeping his work on his mouth, Pearson even said to him directly: "Listen, according to the order of the names I just dictated, sending telegrams to those people at once, and you must not make any mistakes."

Alger Robben had had enough of the boredom these days at that time, and he even chose to forget the warnings and instructions of his boss Lu Ford to ask him to serve Pearson carefully.

He left the list directly on the table near the bathroom and left directly.

After half an hour of meeting with the big guys in diplomacy, Pearson also looked at him with embarrassment.

"Who did I ask to send me a telegram?"

At that time, Robben, who was young and energetic, got angry on the spot and replied with confidence: "I am already very busy taking care of a boss myself, and I don't want to serve two people at the same time."

Lufort was already standing behind Pearson, and was a little satisfied. Now he was stunned when he heard this and quickly asked him for various explanations.

Robben clearly remembered that Luford seemed to say something, "He is too tired and overworked."

He even apologized and pulled him to state his interests except the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Building. Of course, he did not deny that Lu Fut's selfishness was also at work. However, just like Lu Fut was like him, Pearson's status determined to follow him. It seemed that in terms of future, there was a very rare opportunity and he needed to cherish it.

Despite his stubbornness, he finally returned to Pearson. But to his surprise, Pearson seemed to have never had any unpleasantness, so he still called him whatever he should have.

He even took the initiative to talk to him.

"What do you want to drink?" Pearson asked, holding the coffee pot in his hand and walked into him.

Alger Robben said he was flattered and said cream and sugar.

"Is that so? I usually drink black coffee," Pearson said, giving Robben a cup.

"Well, I used to be a young man like you, full of personality." Pearson stood close to him,

"I know that when a person wants to do something, but when he is a boss himself, he has to work for others. What does that feel like? What major are you studying in college?"

Robben talks about philosophy.

Pearson didn't respond. "This industry makes very little money, and it's just a mouth to make a living. If you want to upgrade, philosophy is just not in line with the professionalism, diplomacy requires rigorousness, and the rigorous basis comes from the understanding of national and international laws. What I studied at Leiden University is law and politics, and the major is in line with the counterparts of professionalism, so you can study law in the future."

Alger Robben didn't understand that after he had evil to the other party, the other party would give him honest and useful advice like a father.

Robben also clearly remembered his performance: he, who had always been unwilling to be angry with others, took the initiative to return to Pearson's office, built the lists on the ground here, and took 3 hours to sort out the order and send a telegram one by one. Even after finishing his work, he came back to ask the former minister who was to be determined if he could do something for him.

In this way, he and Pearson officially entered the work relationship, and after several years of precipitation, he also understood that this was just a method of Pearson's politics.

Not only did he turn a person who offended him into a servant who listened to his dispatch, but now, Alger Robben looks at his identity and can proudly and slightly sarcastically say that Pearson recruited himself and raised him into a general under his command.

After three years of getting along, Alger Robben knows more about Pearson.

Pearson’s personal relationship: Never pick up guns before you have ammunition ready.

He can think about a few days and nights for one thing, carefully studying any imagined risks.

If he is able to talk about other people's factors, once he is ready, he will pretend to meet the other person, and the other person will not know what it hits him at all. As long as he uses this move, Robben found that there is basically no one who is not hit.

The most impressive thing he had personally experienced was when he was just sent to Prussia by King William IV in January this year, a reporter from the Berlin Daily, a Prussian media.

The reporter was sent to report on the focus of the Dutch Ambassador's candidate, so he came to explore many international issues at the Dutch Embassy. Anyway, if you can write the questions, it would be enough to kill a person.

However, this person was conducting a surprise visit in order to make Pearson, a popular Dutch diplomatic star, make a fool of himself.

Unfortunately, he was wrong, and he was ridiculously wrong, underestimating Pearson's ability to adapt.

The newspaper reporter was waiting for him outside Pearson's office. After Pearson appeared, he also expressed his intention to come and wanted to see Pearson's ugly appearance.

However, Pearson grabbed his arm directly, pulled him into the office, and said warmly: "You are here, I have been looking for you all the time. I want to tell you that you are the reporter I have seen the best knowledge of the situation here. If it weren't for me, the Netherlands and Prussia would have caused huge losses. Prime Minister Bismarck would not be as good as he is now, in Prussia, so quickly, and even..."

Robben looked at the reporter's incredible expression, and he was also a little incredible. He didn't know why Pearson was talking about these things, because he remembered that this was the first time the reporter came here, and the Dutch Embassy was also dealing with this newspaper for the first time.

Pearson took out a white note while doing his long speech, and painted it carefully and seemed very important. After a while, during the interval, Robben was called over and handed over the note to him.

So Robben walked out of the office with the note inexplicably. Then he opened the note and saw that there were only two sentences: "Who am I talking to? Hurry up and help me send me the purpose and background of his coming, hurry up."

Robben was shocked. How could he still do this?

When Robben went in and handed him the note an hour later, Pearson gave unexpected praise to the reporter's work, his journalist's talent, and his current work progress, and gave him honest advice like he had when he heard it. After Robben heard it, he suddenly felt that the world was really too surprised, and there were such people.

Whether at that time or in the years that followed, Pearson's secret of success was revealed in front of him again and again, but it was not something that ordinary people could learn. He was like having a pair of jeweler's eyes that could see through other people's selves.

From then on, Robben surrendered to his command and benefited a lot for three years.

Half an hour later, Pearson finally got out of the carriage, so Alger Robben, who had been waiting outside the embassy gate for a long time, went up to him and said, "Ambassador Pearson, Bismarck and William I have been waiting for you in the Berlin Palace for a long time. Should you come to the palace to see them now?"

Pearson patted Robben's shoulder unconsciously. Just when Robben agreed later, Pearson walked directly into the gate, leaving only a word that shocked him.

"Since I've been waiting for half an hour, so what if I let them wait for half an hour? Let's let them cool down first. I want to go in and eat something first, and put it in my stomach first."

"Although I know it won't go well, this knocked the host's king and the prime minister aside. Is that okay?" Alger Robben smiled bitterly, shook his head, and followed quickly.
