The second volume is full of glory and splendor in the capital, and the spirit is full of vitality in the foggy city. Chapter 260: Survive
Subtitle of this chapter: Who wrote history in the past ten thousand years?
As the night deepened, it was already dinner time.
With Master Yuan, a man so adept at livening up the atmosphere, the atmosphere was lively and lively, and the six gentlemen decided to dine in the club.
"Neo, so you'll be returning to China in June." Lieutenant Commander Nimitz said with regret, "What a pity..."
"It's a shame," Kennedy Sr. agreed. "Neo. Why would someone like you go back? Isn't it nice to stay in the United States? You don't have to worry about your visa expiring. Isn't that right, Franklin?"
"That's right. The visa is just a minor issue." FDR nodded and said, "Neo, honestly, I think you can better utilize your talents in America. Didn't the Economics Department at Columbia University invite you to be a lecturer?"
Professor Chandler added, "Actually, if Neo stays on as a teacher at NYU, he can be promoted directly to associate professor..."
"And as the only young person here, I can guarantee that our American girl is very interested in Dr. Yuan."
"Hahaha……"
Unexpectedly, the one who delivered the final blow was the young man Heintje. Hearing his "reply", everyone at the table couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
"Gentlemen, my friends..." Yuan Yan suddenly raised her hands and said emotionally, "Thank you very much for your kindness."
He winked at Heintje and said, "But the world is so big, and even as a 'middle-aged man' I still want to see it. This time I'm going to Europe and Southeast Asia, so it can be considered a semi-circumnavigation of the world."
He continued to explain, "I'm going to Southeast Asia to meet my bride and have a Chinese-style wedding in my hometown. If you don't let me return to China, I'll have no choice but to remain single."
"Hehehe..." Everyone laughed at this not-so-funny joke out of courtesy.
"Besides..." He sighed, with an expression that was not sure whether it was happy or frustrated, and said, "America, I will definitely come!"
Yes. America, Yuan Yanshu will eventually roll back smoothly.
What difference does it make whether his native Serbia has one more master like him or a dozen less?
Of course there is a difference... Missing a dozen masters like him shouldn't make much of a difference, but with a master like him, Seris's history will be very interesting!
Our Master Yuan wants history to be very interesting, but the prerequisite is to save his life.
Serbia in 1921 was far more dangerous than America in 1921.
Here he dared to write "Nine Commentaries on the Democratic Party", directly criticizing Woodrow Wilson, the President of the United States and his Democratic Party. Moreover, at that time, he was still the incumbent president and the Democratic Party was the ruling party.
But after he returned to China, he was not afraid to confront people like "Sun Tanxiang who led by example", "Cao Zhongshan who never bought a ticket", "Marshal Zhang who was well-read", etc., but he was definitely cautious.
Even if those people in high positions are popular and magnanimous and don't bother with him, they can't resist the people under them who want to take credit and flatter him.
Especially Iron Fist Invincible and his men. There are so many things for this group of people to learn from Japan, but they just chose to learn the "Tenchu" to perfection.
It is said that Chuan Lin Beitui started his career with assassinations, but the third generation Jiang Xiaowu was driven off the throne of heir by the American father because of the "Jiangnan Case", forcing Comrade Jianfeng to democratize. This can only be said to be the cycle of fate, retribution is inevitable...
Bullshit! Bullshit!!! Bullshit!!!
If there really is such a thing as divine retribution, history would not be what our Master Yuan saw and heard.
He saw that the spy chief who served as president and party chairman until his death was respected as a "pioneer of democracy."
He heard that the heroic martyrs who sacrificed their lives on the front line of defending their country were given unpleasant nicknames.
He saw that cultural figures who were of no benefit to the country and the people were respected as masters.
He heard that the revolutionaries who joined the party in 1927 were called DOGs.
He saw it, he heard it.
There is no such thing as retribution in this world, only history written by the winners who survive to the end!
There's a poem that goes: "Who wrote history for ten thousand years? It certainly wasn't the people involved!"
Then stop talking nonsense. I must survive to the end, outlast all my contemporaries, and then write history for them as a "party involved."
Even if what I wrote was false, they can't jump out of the coffin or urn and say they were talking nonsense.
At that time, the historical discourse power of this era will be mine, and no one can take it away from me!
So I must cherish my life.
So on this early summer night, our Master Yuan made up his mind to be a "thousand-year-old turtle".
After making this decision, he was grateful for meeting Lieutenant Colonel Nimitz at this moment, and now he could finally join the U.S. Marines stationed in Shanghai.
Here is a brief introduction: as early as 1854 during the Taiping Rebellion, the U.S. Marines appeared in Shanghai.
They were sent by the famous "Black Ship Admiral" Brigadier General Matthew Perry. These Marines and several Japanese samurai were bodyguards for the consul in Shanghai at the time.
In 1863, the British and American concessions in Shanghai merged into the International Settlement. There was no official garrison at the time.
However, after the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, the Boxer Protocol signed between the Qing Dynasty and the Eight-Nation War gave these countries the right to station troops in China.
Therefore, at the beginning of the 20th century, the United States quickly deployed a large number of Marines in Beijing, Tianjin, Qinhuangdao and Shanghai. This was one of the areas with the largest number of US troops stationed in the Far East, second only to the colony of the Philippines.
Therefore, in 1921, there were marines from the United States, Britain, and Italy in the International Settlement, and these military personnel also took on some of the security work. In fact, there were also German and Russian marines, but of course they are no longer there.
In fact, the so-called "Japanese Concession" is the common name for the International Settlement in the Hongkou area. There is no formal treaty stipulating this, but it was simply called the Japanese Concession because the area had the largest number of Japanese expatriates.
It was not until the May 30th Massacre broke out in 1925 that Japan sent marines to Shanghai and stationed them in the Hongkou area under the pretext of "protecting overseas Chinese". Afterwards, the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters was established at the northern end of Sichuan North Road.
The real "Japanese Concession" did not become a reality until after the "January 28 Incident" in 1932, when the Japanese army forcibly occupied the section of Hongkou that crossed the border to build a road.
Therefore, Master Yuan’s safety can only depend on his American friends.
Of course, this kind of thing can only be discussed in private, so he changed the subject: "After all, this is my second homeland..."
"That's not right, Neo." Old Kennedy shook his head. "For us Americans, coming to this land and putting down roots is our true homeland!"
Yuan Yan smiled in a lost and said, "Joseph, you are right. This is also my motherland..."
"Come on, gentlemen..." He regained his spirits, raised his glass and saluted: "Cheers to our common motherland!"
“Cheers!”
