Chapter 27 The Pillow Wind of the President's Wife
The White House Garden in the United States is where the President of the United States entertains guests and holds large banquets. Among these many gardens, the one known as the White House Vegetable Basket is the former White House back garden. The White House Vegetable Basket is the name of the current wife of the president, Eleanor? In response to the global economic crisis that broke out in 1932, Roosevelt advocated family gardening to save money.
As a friend of Eleanor Roosevelt, Gu Lianyun was fortunate enough to be invited by her to attend a small social picnic here.
Excluding the influence of President Roosevelt alone, Eleanor Roosevelt is indeed a great woman. During her contact with the White House, Gu Lianyun was fortunate enough to be appreciated and made a friend by her. She played a great role in the development of the Gu Group in the United States. beneficial,
The president's wife also has her own circle of best friends. Now, at the picnic table, several of her friends are placing tableware and processing food, while she and Gu Lianyun are wandering in the vegetable garden, chatting intimately.
"Dear Yun, will you stay for a long time when you go back this time?"
"Yes, I haven't been back for too long. Dear Eleanor, do you need anything? Although China is far less wealthy than the United States, there are some things that the United States does not have."
"Bring me some tea, if it's not too much trouble."
"No problem, our Chinese tea is quite good. Compared with coffee, it can relieve fatigue, but it will not make people feel dependent."
"Yun, did you agree to the request you made to Mr. President just now?"
Gu Lianyun shook her head. She knew that she still thought of things too simply. It is true that the United States hopes to have good relations with the Xuebingjun. The success of the "Sink It" operation also added weight to the Xuebingjun's own image, but This is far from enough. What Americans value most is interests. As the president of the United States, although he can give suggestions to companies, he cannot prompt the two parties to reach an agreement. She recalled what President Roosevelt said and knew that she really had to convince the United States. The airline's agreement to open a new route to Guangzhou without providing heavyweight patented technology must not be enough to impress them. However, these are related to Xuebingjun's fundamental interests and core secrets, and she does not dare to agree easily.
"That's a shame. If the air route can really be opened, it will be much more convenient for you to travel between the two places."
"Yes, but it doesn't matter. It won't work this time. There will always be opportunities in the future. Dear Eleanor, have you mentioned what I told you last time to Mr. President?"
Whether it is China or the United States, whether it is yellow or white, there are certain things in common, such as blowing the pillow,
The main reason why the Gu Group is able to thrive in the United States is of course because of its core policy opponents. On the other hand, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt helped blow the pillow wind in President Roosevelt's ears, but it also caused a lot of problems. It has a big effect, especially on some relatively sensitive policy matters. This trick can often achieve miraculous results. But this time, Gu Lianyun asked the president's wife to help him whisper it in the president's ear, but it was a big one. hurricane,
Eleanor stopped and looked at Gu Lianyun. Remembering Roosevelt's description of her, her face changed slightly. She thought for a while and said: "Dear Yun, this matter is really involved. I'm sorry I can't help you. However, the president has said that if your dear friend comes to talk in person, there is no possibility of success."
Eleanor Roosevelt was very clear about the matter between Gu Lianyun and Ouyang Yun, so when the two of them talked, whenever she mentioned Ouyang Yun, she would always refer to it as "your dear", and every time she mentioned this pronoun , Gu Lianyun will definitely blush with shame,
She looked at Eleanor with a blushing face and said with a smile: "You are kidding me again. He and I are not married yet."
"Haha, we Americans advocate free love. I've been here before. Even though I've seen you together once, I can tell that you love each other. If that's the case, then it's only a matter of time before you get married." As Lenore spoke, she suddenly remembered a piece of gossip she heard from her best friends. From a friend's perspective, she couldn't help but feel a little worried about her Chinese friends, so she asked kindly: "Dear Yun, I heard Chinese men can marry several wives in their lifetime, is this a thing?"
Gu Lianyun nodded, and his face couldn't help but become a little ugly. Woman, although she always forced herself not to think about Bai Liusu, Pan Meiren and him, she also forced herself to suppress her jealousy, but... The effect seemed to be very little. At least for now, when Eleanor said this, she felt sour and uncomfortable in her heart.
"Isn't the wife of the president of your country advocating a new civilized life and monogamy? How come Commander-in-Chief Ouyang Yun, as a leading figure in China, does the opposite? Dear Yun, I think that for men, although We can be more tolerant in some aspects, but when it comes to emotions, we absolutely cannot compromise."
Gu Lianyun didn't know this truth, but the difficulty and complexity involved could not be explained clearly in just a few words. She took a deep breath, calmed down, and said with a smile: "Dear Eleanor, let's not mention this disappointing thing. To be honest, if you hadn't been with me to talk, my heart would have been on the plane right now."
"Haha, Yun, I really admire your optimism. Go back this time and have a good talk with him. Well, maybe when you come back, you can invite him to come to the United States in the name of Mr. President personally. I believe that, He will be interested in Mr. President's proposal. If there is enough time, I will help you with Catherine and others. Holding a Western-style wedding in the United States is also a good choice."
This proposal was very tempting to Gu Lianyun. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard it. The reverie in her heart could no longer be hidden, and red clouds flew all over her face...
This time, Gu Lianyun asked her friend, the President's wife, to blow the whistle on her Mr. President. Her plan was so big that she actually wanted to ask the President to come forward and hold an investment fair in the name of the U.S. Department of the Navy to convert the "Saint George" cruise ship into an aircraft carrier. ,
Ouyang Yun's aircraft carrier complex stems from his expectations for China's ultimate role in World War II in this time and space. The interpretation of this role is definitely not just a second-rate supporting role who accompanies the prince to study, but a real protagonist who is making great contributions. After making huge sacrifices, as the victor, not only must we obtain corresponding rewards, but we must also enrich our country and strengthen our military. Even if we cannot stand on top of the world, at least we must not be abandoned by the general trend of the world, and we must not just watch others. The country is making great strides forward, but we are still standing still,
Gu Lianyun had only heard such thoughts from him once. That time, she leaned on his broad and powerful chest, and while enjoying the pleasure brought by the most wonderful movement of human beings, she listened quietly to what he seemed to be like. She was talking nonsense like sleep, and it was at that time that she realized what kind of troubles the man she liked, the man who was destined to be entangled with her for the rest of her life, had in her heart...
It was also at that time that she learned about his aircraft carrier complex and hid it deeply in her heart. She always thought that one day she would give him a big gift as his woman.
For her, "Saint George" is an opportunity to realize her wish. Perhaps, this opportunity will never appear again in the future, so she cares so much.
Japan, the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, in the meeting hall, Emperor Hirohito sat high on the throne, looking at the courtiers standing respectfully below, the deep anger in his heart could not be vented, which made his expression look particularly sinister,
The news of the sinking of the "Akagi" spread back to Japan, shocking the whole country. As a symbol of Japan's modern military industry, the existence of the "Akagi" has a much greater symbolic significance than its practical significance. As for the combined fleet, it is even more of a symbol of Japanese militarism. The pillar that allowed this monster to spread its teeth and claws everywhere, now, the "Akagi" has been sunk, and the combined fleet has been defeated and lost. The waves and turmoil caused by this are far beyond what a single yamen of the Navy Ministry can bear.
Japan's economy has suffered from the 32-year global economic depression and has not yet recovered. Against this background, it would have been an overstep for the main force of the combined fleet to leave the port to deal with a China warlord. Who knows? This seemingly foolproof demonstration trip ended up with this result. This is something Hirohito cannot accept no matter what. Could it be that Mitsumasa Yoneuchi and others that I like are idiots with their heads filled with straw? , This incident has spread the disaster too far, but how can we put it right? If it is not handled well, it may even trigger a second mutiny,
Hirohito's head hurt when he thought about it. However, the ministers of the Konoe Cabinet, who had always been resourceful, rarely behaved so courteously and courteously. How could he not be angry?
As the promoter of Japanese fascism, Konoe Fumimaro was the culprit who launched the all-out war of aggression against China. If he is a well-known hawk in Japan, then the Iron Triangle of the Navy Ministry, which has a relatively moderate stance, is a dove. When it comes to China In terms of stance, Konoe Fumimaro, Yoneuchi Mitsumasa and others had completely different views. Therefore, for a time, Konoe was still thinking about how to squeeze the Iron Triangle out of the Navy Ministry. However, the Iron Triangle made great contributions in the last mutiny. He won the trust of Hirohito and the support of middle and low-level officers in the Navy Ministry. Therefore, although the Konoe planned several operations against the Iron Triangle, they never succeeded. Ordinarily, the combined fleet was defeated and the "Akagi" The sinking was a God-given opportunity to eradicate the Iron Triangle. However, considering the significance of the combined fleet and the "Akagi" to Japan, Konoe Fumimaro couldn't be happy at all.
Today's court meeting was originally to discuss how to deal with this incident and severely punish the relevant parties. However, the relationship between this matter is too important, and one mistake may bring unpredictable adverse effects, so I am usually quite shrewd and capable. All the ministers in the Konoe Cabinet were as mute as gourds with their mouths sawed.
