"I won't lose to you next time! You're in luck this time! MacArthur took a puff of his pipe with some nostalgia and said, "Nanhua, amazing!" β
"Of course!" Situ Nan smirked and pulled out the pipe from MacArthur's mouth in his almost murderous eyes!
"Go back and keep it safe! In the future, I will sue my children and grandchildren, and sue them, this is General MacArthur's pipe, but it was plucked by their grandfather! β
Situ Nan smiled and handed the pipe to Laura. Since she was injured in the last match against Canada, this woman has become more nervous Situ Nan, and every time she comes to the game, she will always nervously stay on the sidelines. As for the complicated expressions of her and He Xiangu, Situ Nan deliberately didn't see it!
"Damn it, bastard!" MacArthur shook his head, lost his beloved corn pipe, and walked away with some grief. As the head of the U.S. delegation, the trip to Paris was a great addition to his resume!
After the game, Situ Nan gave a grand banquet to the players, and a grand celebration banquet was held at William's Castle, including delegations from China, Siam, and the Philippines, a total of more than 200 people were also invited.
The two months in Paris were a great eye-opener for these people, because the experience of crossing the same boat also strengthened their friendship with each other, especially the many Chinese athletes in Siam and the Philippines, and these people gradually became a link between South China and neighboring countries.
One of the heavyweights in the Chinese delegation was Cai Yuanpei, the Minister of Education. Cai Yuanbei went to London to discuss with the British government the reduction of Gengzi's indemnity for the development of China's education.
In addition to Japan, the other countries in the Eight-Nation Alliance, except for the defeat of Germany and Austria and the Soviet Union and Russia, which were sanctioned by the world, all other countries began to greatly reduce the Gengzi indemnity.
The reason for this is the unfairness of Gengzi's indemnity, and it is inseparable from the struggle of the people.
"Mr. Cai, congratulations, you have traveled thousands of miles to Europe to fight for the interests of the country, which is admirable!" Situ Nan respectfully said to Cai Yuanbei, Cai Yuanpei's three words, he couldn't be more familiar.
It's a pity in the history of the Republic of China. did not give this everyone too much room to display, and after the short-lived education of the Republic of China, it was impossible to find an inclusive atmosphere. Academic freedom is out of the question, and it's a shame.
"It's over, no matter how difficult the national affairs are, I'm just doing my best." Cai Yuanpei sighed.
The wool comes out of the sheep. Isn't the money spent on the Chinese people? The reparations returned by the great powers are just a glimmer of mercy from the strong to the weak.
"It's always a good thing, isn't it? Just do your best. Situ Nan said with relief, as if he felt the sentimentality on the other party.
Even if he, a person who has come from the past, looks back at the history of the Republic of China, he has to admit that except for the 90s generation nearly a hundred years later, in the 20th century, the generation of China, a country full of disasters and difficulties, did not come from sentimentality?
Let's hope we don't let the tragedy happen again!
Situ Nan raised his glass. The throat was choking, and the liquor "quenched" the heart more firmly.
seemed to feel that Situ Nan was a little abnormal, Cai Yuanpei saw a sadness and firmness in Situ Nan's eyes, and secretly doubted. He had heard a little about Situ Nan, but he didn't know that when they met for the first time, in a foreign country, the two could talk. The topic was mainly focused on education. As for the political aspect. Situ Nan didn't want to waste time with such an old fritter.
In a way, how could Cai Yuanpei not be a politician who lost power in the political arena and achieved unimaginable achievements in education?
"Mr. Cai, Nanhua and China share the same origin and culture, so the two sides should strengthen cultural exchanges and cooperation and carry forward the Chinese culture. You are a champion in the world of education. I believe you can play a vital role. β
Situ Nan smiled and complimented Cai Yuanpei from time to time. It is hoped that through exchanges and cooperation, more intellectuals will be introduced to South China. The industrialization of South China could not rely only on the millions of coolie workers brought in from China.
Cai Yuanpei smiled slightly, and was happy to hear Situ Nan say this: "I know Mr. Situ's generosity to education, and what you said is what I want to do." To tell you the truth, on the way back to China, I was invited to visit South China. β
****οΌ?
Whether it is an oil company or an automobile company, the tight expansion of business in Europe has satisfied Situ Nan, and the European powers, which have not recovered from the war, are unable to resist the entry of American capital into the European market, especially in the oil industry, American enterprises have strong competitiveness.
According to market statistics, Occidental Petroleum and Chevron Petroleum have an oil share of 18% in Europe, surpassing BP and second only to Standard Oil Systems dominated by Exxon and Mobil and Shell Oil Co., Ltd., which is a cooperation between Britain and the Netherlands.
"The biggest achievement this time is to reach cooperation with France, as more crude oil from South China, North Africa into Europe, Western oil companies in Europe gradually completed, our strength will be further, within 5 years to reach 25% of the market share should not be difficult!"
After leaving Paris, He Yongyuan summarized with Situ Nan with great interest the development of the William Consortium in Europe.
"Good harvest!"
Situ Nan nodded contentedly, the business development of oil companies, automobile companies and Robles companies in Europe were all in Situ Nan's expectations, he smiled and said: "The happiest thing is to reach a cooperation plan with CrΓ©dit Agricole CIB on the Southwest Railway, I hope to see a different southwest when I go back." β
After France, Italy became Situnan's next target. Although Italy is a country that is somewhat underestimated, Italy is, after all, a relatively strong industrialized country, with a strength comparable to Japan, and its influence in the world should not be underestimated.
Interestingly, Italy is like a boot reaching into the Mediterranean. The Mediterranean Sea was too small, sandwiched between Britain and France, Italy's expansion was strictly restricted, and they lacked resources to develop industry vigorously.
"It shouldn't be difficult to sell oil to the Italians, the fascist government is now rebuilding the economy, and Mussolini shouldn't refuse my kindness."
He Yongyuan analyzed, while introducing Situ Nan's itinerary in Italy.
"Hmm. Italians are so noodle, so bragging, so, nothing else! Situ Nan commented: "I hope to have the opportunity to see the Colosseum in ancient Rome. β
By this time the ship had left the French port and was heading south along the English Channel.
He Yongyuan had heard a lot of these words from Situ Nan's mouth, and he smiled, I don't know why, Situ Nan seemed to be prejudiced against Italians.
"But don't say this when you see Mussolini, that guy is not easy to talk to." He Yongyuan reminded Situ Nan that he had arranged for Situ Nan to visit Mussolini in person after he arrived in Rome.
"Hmm. That bastard is arrogant enough! Situ Nan nodded.
The word fascist was made famous by Mussolini, who was also a World War I veteran who began to be active in Italian politics as a journalist and became a socialist, then a naked leftist and later turned to the right.
After the end of the war, the depression spread throughout Italy, strikes continued, social unrest, hundreds of thousands of unemployed soldiers took to the streets, giving Mussolini an excellent opportunity, he founded the "Fighting Fascist" organization, which is the predecessor of the Italian fascist party, gathered a large number of angry soldiers, unemployed workers, and the leftist forces affected by the ** ideological trend to have a fierce conflict, this scene was also staged in Germany at the same time.
In 1922, Mussolini organized the "Black Shirts" to march into Rome, seized power by force, and began fascist rule. The success of the Italian fascists was a clear example, and Mussolini became the object of emulation by dictators and careerists around the world.
Germany's mustachioed Hitler imitated Mussolini and staged an armed riot in the Munich beer can, but unfortunately he was imprisoned, after all, the Wehrmacht was not the Italian army of noodles, and the Junker landlords did not hesitate to kill people at the critical moment.
Just when Situ Nan was thinking about Mussolini, Mussolini, who was far away in Rome, also became very interested in Situ Nan's visit.
"That kid is kind of interesting! It turned out to be a rich man, no wonder he was so arrogant. Mussolini analyzed Situ Nan's intelligence and said with some disdain.
However, the economy of Italy is not good now, the fascist government that has only been in power for two years is not yet solid, and Mussolini has not developed into a ** dictatorship in the future, and he still needs foreign funds to stabilize his rule.
At this time, the term fascism was still quite marketable, at least not a derogatory term, mainly referring to the establishment of a totalitarian regime, the internal use of iron-blooded means to stabilize the economic order, the construction of a large number of public works, the development of the military industry and other measures to achieve leapfrog development of the country's military strength, in preparation for foreign expansion.
In Situ Nan's eyes, whether it is Italy, the Soviet Union or South China, there are actually more or less traces of fascism.
****??
Mussolini had a star-like appearance, a tall and broad head, unpretentious eyes, a straight nose, thick lips, and a granite-like silhouette, and Mussolini's appearance was a few streets higher than that of a lewd mustache.
I just don't know how this good-looking guy didn't want to be a model, so how did he think of a promising job in the revolution?
The first time he saw Mussolini, Situ Nan recognized it, and almost at the same time, he also talked about the guy in his heart.
Because that guy actually stood in place when he saw Situ Nan coming, holding his hands on his chest, his eyes slightly raised, and his lips pursed, like an invincible general!
Well, I don't know if it's deliberately showing off, Mussolini deliberately wore a black military uniform, that is, the suit of his blackshirts, which looked a little majestic.
Pretend!
Situ Nan scolded secretly, smiled and went up to compliment: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, it is a pleasure to meet you and pay tribute to your achievements, you are a well-deserved leader of the Italians!" β
"Thank you." Mussolini nodded reservedly, smiled faintly, and enjoyed Situ Nan's compliment with ease.
His eyes glanced at Situ Nan casually, and he opened his mouth and said, "Welcome to Italy, I believe you will soon like this great country, Mr. William." β
What the hell like this country? (To be continued......)
